Her little friends. to the number
of thirty or more of the juvenile
set, responded to Miss Elizabeth
Swails' dainty invitations to her
birthday party Friday afternoon

high until the little cups of pleasure

We have this week, a communica-
ton from Hebron signed "A Sub
scriber." Once more we beg leave
to state that all articles intended for
publication must be accompanied by
the real name of the writer, not
necessarily for publication, but
merely as an evidence of good faith
on the part of the correspondent.
AS we have no idea of the identity
of this particular Subscriber" we
cannot afford to publish her COM
munication.
Faith in the future of Kingstree
is practically demonstrated by the
fact that in spite of the depressed
industrial conditions all over the
South there is no let up on the build
| ing up of our town. The latest
projected building is that of DR. W
| L Taylor, who has purchased the
lot next to DR. Brockington's drug
store and, we understand, DR. Taylor
will in the near future erect thereon
handsome mercantile and office
building, two stories high, with
pressed brick front and modern ap-
pointments. There are rumors of
other buildings soon to be put up,
which will doubtless soon material
ize. "Kingstree, the gateway to op-
portunity''-watch the old town
grow!

ance at the meeting next Monday.
We should have been pleased to give
the notice of this meeting greater
prominence, but it came in so late
that we could not give more space
to it without crowding out some
other plea for publicity that came in
earlier. We have really done the
best we could.
We must insist that our friends
observe our time limit and not over
whelm US with articles that must
be sure to go in this week., when
they wait till Wednesday or Thurs
day to send them in. AS we have
time and again stated, our final, ex-
treme limit for articles of length to
be published the current week is
Tuesday noon; yet this same week
we have had half dozen communi-
cations to come after the time limit
expired, and in each instance we are
urged to be sure to publish them
| this week AS matter of fact we
