36x35. There are five class
rooms, three on the west side of
the building and two on the east.
These rooms are each 9x11. ex-
cept the infant class room, which
is 17x14. The latter may be en-
tered from the Catawba street
vestibule without going into the
Sunday School room. The main
vestibule is 12x14, and the two
others each 1912.
There is a large, commodious
basement or cellar, and the build
ing will be equipped with modern
heating and lighting plants. The
entire cost of the structure and
furnishings will probably exceed
SD, 900.
The building committee is COM

REV. P. F. KILG0'S ILLNESS
w e ll-k nown Methodist
Minister, Who at One
Time was Pastor OF Lam
caster Church, Took
Strychnine by Mistake.

Florence special in the News
and Courier, May 6: The friends
throughout the State of the Rev.
P. F. Kilgo, presiding elder of
the Florence District of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and
they are many, will be pleased
to learn that he is fast recover
ing from severe illness with
which he was seized while at
Cheraw on Saturday last, and
that he is now at his home, in
this city, having returned here
today.
Mr. Kilgo was feeling bad on
Saturday morning, and, having
a bottle of Carlsbad salts in his
grip, thought he would take a
dose of this medicine, strychnine
being a component part. In TAX
ing the medicine he evidently
got too much of the strychnine
in the dose and within twenty
minutes he was thrown into con-
vulsions. A physician was hur-
riedly called and his wife and
family physician at Florence,
DIR. F. ~ Mcleod, was wired
for. The local physician, how
ever, had him relieved before
his wife and DIR. Mcleod arrived
and thereby saved his life.
1t was indeed a very close call
and had it not been for prompt
work on the part of the Cheraw
physician, he would have died
within an hour.
