REES PARK
IMPROVED
BY D. A. R.
WORK NEARLY Completed
Park Should Be Thing Of
Beauty in Due Time

improvements begun some time ago
by the members of the Council of
Safety Chapter of the Daughters OF
the American Revolution at Rees
park, in the eastern section of the
CITY, have at last practically been
completed.
This work was undertaken by the
members of the local chapter of the
organization in pursuance of the
general trend of work that is recog-
nized as in keeping with the pur-
poses of the D. A. R. in helping in i
general way in the work of civic i'm
provement and general uplift.
The walks have been laid out around
the park in neat manner by the la
dies who have had the work IN
charge, and palms have been planted
in the basin as an added attraction to
that part of the park. Spanish bay
onet and bear grass have already been
planted in many places to add their
beauty to the other shrubbery of the
park, while white and pink dogwood
will make the spring days gay with
their blossoms.
The city has rendered valuable aid
| to the ladies in carrying out the work
as the cooperation and help of the
municipal authorities has been of the
greatest value in carrying out the
plans as they were originally outlin-
ed. Mayor Mathis has lent individ'
ual aid to the ladies in their work
| that has been of the greatest benefit
to them. To him especially the la
dies desire to render thanks for his
help and for the kindly manner II
which he has represented the city il

HEARING BEGAN YESTERDAY
in IMPORTANT Civil SUIT
Suit Up For Hearing Before
City Court

An array of distinguished legal
counsel participated in the suit OF
Judge ]. A. Hixon against MIR. Charles
M. Council for professional services
rendered in the examination of titles
and the sale of timber lands in Clinch
county, which came up for hearing
before the City court yesterday, with
Judge D. B. Nicholson, of the City
court of Abbeville presiding.
For the plaintiff appeared Messrs.
Shipp & Sheppard, Ellis & Webb ami
Robert L. Berner, while the defense
was represented by Mr. Dupont Guer-
ty and MIR. E. A. Hawkins. The case
bids fair to last throughout the re-
mainder of the week, as only Small
part of the legal examination was con-
Quoted yesterday. The amount In
yolved approximates $4,000.

relation to the work that has been
done.
Through the efforts of the members
of the D. A. R, Rees park will come
to deserve the name which has long
served rather as a misnomer instead
of a truthful designation. The shade
trees, shrubery and grass, if proper
ly tended, should make this park on
of the show places of the city in
the course of time, If the work
maintained as it should be. In days
to come, even before leap year shall
have passed, lovers may yet find a
snug retreat in the park where they
may spoon to their hearts content.

Their Narrow
Escapes

1T was like this" explained the man
after the others had told him that he
was looking pale. 81 was to meet my
wife's cousin downtown to buy a'pres-
ent for my wife, and, of course, she
was late. l got tired standing in the
store entrance, where we were to find
each other, so l started down the
her coming and she was at her old
tricks-carrying her handbag tucked
carelessly under one arm, ready to
tumble out or be grabbed.
Keeping my eye on the bag, re-
solved to give Emma the jolt of her
life and scare her into fit of COM
| mon sense. Just as. / got in front of
her reached out and. took the. .hand-
bag Then looked at her triumphant
ly, condescendingiy accusingly. At
least, started out with the intention
of crushing her with that sort of a
gaze, but l never completed it, because
well, you see, it wasn't Emma!
ut was, however, perfectly good
imitation of her and she was both
scared to death, hopping mad and
ready for Mysteries. !. There was one
awful second when she opened her
lips to scream and at that instant the
crossing policeman looked ten feet
high to me and fierce in proportion.
In the last panic of desperation
grabbed her arm so hard that it hurt
her so she couldn't yell and pleaded
for my life. l gasped out that it was
mistake and she Indignantly as
sured me it certainly was, the biggest
mistake of my life, but that that was
what they ali said when they got
caught.
II assured her that I thought she
was my Cousin Emma and she looked
at me scornfully. She was beginning
to get back her breath and her cour-
age. She said no doubt Cousin Emma
was a most estimable person, but she
didn't thank me for taking her for the
cousin of pickpocket and opened her
mouth again to scream. l think
shook her then-at any rate, her
scream was lOSC. never D0lOT6 ldIh'
ed so fast in my life or so much. 1t
was like having three seconds before
the drop was sprung to say all
wanted to say. l told her all about my
/ great-grandfather who was in the Rev.
dictionary war and the, new house j
was building and how respectable the
| club were to which / belonged and
how had credit at all the stores.
Either l led her to think l was in.
! sane and dangerous or else my piteous
gaze reused spark of humanity in
her, because by the time the crowd
had drawn the policeman to us she
quite snapped at him and told him
nothing was the trouble and to &c
back to waving his hand at automo
biles and let her manage her own at
fairs. Anyhow, she let me stink
away without raising any row. I'm
still shaking!"

AMERICANS LESS SUBJECT TO
 MALARIA

While quinine has long been d staple product of importation into the country, no marked growth in it's imports has occurred in the last quarter of . century. In 1882 for example. over 5,000.0o0 pounds of ciuchona bark was imported; in 1892, 3,5O0,0o0: in 1902. 3.75o,00o, and in 1912 will probably be about $500, 900 pounds. In 1882 the imports of quinine and the various sales of Guinine amounteed to 795.oO0 ounces; in 1884 1.500. 900 ounces; in 1892. 2,- S33. .334: in 1902. 2.S33.334; in 1906, A. 0.000, and in 1911 3,25O,000; while the rate of importation in the nine month sof the current year, for which figures are Ut hand, point to twelve months Gnding with June.
 Meantime the price of quinine has steadily fallen. In 1882 the average import value per ounce was a little less than &. in 1902 it had dropped to 28 cents, and in the first nine months of the current fiscal year was hut 15 cents. Likewise cinchona bark the botanical source of quinine has dropped in average import value per pound from 36 cents in 1882 to less than cents in 1912,
 The desrease in imports of quinine despite the growth in population meantime, is ascribed to variety of causes Among them may be men ticned improved conditions of santa tion. and drainage throughout the country thus decreasing the preva- lence of malarial and other levers for which quinine has long been known to be specific and in the treatment of which it y@As formerly the chief reliance. tThe drainage of sWampy districts the better screening of homes. and the discovery of the rela- tiOn between mosquitos and levers generally have had a large part in reducing the prevalence of diseases for which cuinine was and is still largely used. while the development of the chemical industry has brought into use d large body of coal tar and other preparations which share with quinine is popularity as d remedy of fevers. and as a general tonic in pro fessional and domestic practice-Bu- reau of Statistics
