Watermelons.

The best watermelon we haye seen
this season, and we have seen some
very fine ones, was presented to Us
last Saturday by Mr. J F Barton, ,one
of the progressive farmers OF the
Bethel church section, on the old
Charleston road few miles below
this city. 1t weighed nearly forty
six pounds and was deliciously fla
vored, being very sweet. a finer
melon cannot be grown anywhere.

a commonplace sight. Within the

years ago we had one given us--a
sure enough big one-that tipped
the scales at IS pounds.

the highest regard personally

the citizens of the town know
how the money received in taxes

KTNGSTREE-THE GATEWAY
TO OPPORTUNITY.
THURSDAY, AUG. 3. 1911.
An Ounce Of Prevention.

During the past year our town
has had a health record enjoyed
by few towns of the State. Local
musicians have had to extend
the circle of their clientele many
miles in the country to keep
busy, and so far as good health
is concerned, there is no reason
for leaving town for spring or
mountain resorts in quest OF it..
ALI the more gratifying is this
condition in view of the fact that
it was not always go. Time was
when Kingstree was regarded as
q place synonymous with malaria,
chills, fever, mosquitoes and untold
other physical ills. An evil repu-
tation is much harder to dispel
than to build up a good one; hence
there are many misinformed people,
even in neighboring counties, who
still believe, or affect to believe,
that Kingstree is hOt-bed OF
malarial fever and oven more Sc
rious ailments.
The amusing as well as pro-
voking part of it is that most all
of the towns so free to criticize
Kingstree are themselves in the
same category in which they
would place US.
The condition here is due main
ly to two cauSeS-pure arteSlan
water and more attention to san
itation. The pure water is here
to stay; as free and boundless
as the air, it needs no conserva-
lion or attention. But sanitation
IS another matter. When sickness
and disease are healed, We are
prone to forget the doctor; so,
also, we even neglect the sani-
tary precautions that have large
" contributed toward the making
of a healthy town. Can we al
ford it? At one time we had a
regularly organized Board Of Health
acnye and alert to their duties.
Where i it today? Who are Its
members? Not 80 long ago every
body's premises were regularly
inspected and disinfectantS dis
tributed where needed. lhlS

mant and we are sorry indeed
that it has almost fallen into

MET UNDER ODD CONDITIONS
How Three Men Prominent in Auto
Industry Became Acquainted.
CYCLE DEALER TO AUTO MAKER
RAPID Rise 20 Place of Prominence
in a short Period Of Time in
the Manufacture OF
Motors.

with the recent announcement OF the
organization Of the willys-Garford Sales
company to distribute the output of the
Garford factory and the still more recent
project of the first public transconti-
mental automobile tour, which will start
from New York in Garford cars October
2, there has come to light a peculiar chain
Of circumstances that have held three
men together through the crisis OF the
organization OF a new industry.
Fifteen years or more ago A. l.. Gar
ford, now president OF the Garford COM
pany of Elyrla, o., was making bicycle
saddles in that same town, and making
them with the same thoroughness and
care that now distinguishes the automo-
bile that bears his name. The historic
bicycle craze" was then at its height
and John N WHY'S was one of the we'll
known riders of the country. One of his
memorable feats was a trip by wheel
from Elmira, N. Y, to Chicago. and as
his route took him through Elyria he
stopped there to buy one Of the Garford
saddles, and the beginning Of a lifelong
friendship was made.
G. w. Bennett was then associated with
the bicycle business In chicago ana nav
ing a community of interests he and Mr..
Garford also became acquainted. The
years sped and the bicycle business con-
tinued to grow and in time Mr.. Garford
became the treasurer Of the American
Bicycle company. When that firm ac-
quired the Gormully & Jeffrey company
OF Chicago Mr.. Bennett was chosen by
Mr.. Garford as treasurer Of the sub
sidiary concern.
Today John N. WHY'S is president OF
the WHY'S company and Mr.
Bennett is vice president and general
sales manager OF the same firm, while
Mr.. Garford Is president Of one OF the
largest pleasure car and truck concerns
in the country and both companies are
united through the willy-Garford Sales

Amelia M. Leonard Now Under Arrest in
Boston.

Burlington, March LIT has been
learned that Miss Amelia NJ. Leonard,
who il charged with the sensational
jewel robberies in Boston and against
whom even grayer charges are limited,
received 4 part Of her training at the
Mary Fletcher hospital in this city,
but was dismissed from that institu-
tion after a brief stay when IL was dis
covered that she was unreliable and un-
truthful. She was at the hospital from
January, 1902, until May Of the same
year and during that time committed
a number of ofenses OF that nature.
Miss Leonard yesterday waived exam
nation in the Boston municipal court
and was remanded to jail IN default Of
10000 bail, on the charge Of stealing
iewelry and other articles to the value
Of many thousands OF dollars from Miss
Mary j. Lockwood m aged patient at
the hotel Brunswick, who died few
days ago while under her care. II Is
possible that the body may be exhnmed
as there is faint suspicion OF foul play
connected with her death.
