the liver gently and surely. and
relieves constipation and bilousncss

tree and Is Truly Amazed.

CQlIOI SOullIy lsCSOl0s
was at Kingstree a few days
ago. 1t was my first visit there since
1873. Forty years made many
changes, so that when | stopped at
the station and stood watching the
smoke as it curled out of sight on
the north.bound train l wondered if
this was Kingstree or where Kings
tree was when | was there in '73. /
was only c years old then; now am
past middle age. and verify believe
Kingstree has advanced every day
since l saw the town last. When /
wss a boy there were only a few
houses,a wooden court house, the
bridge at the end of Main street
across Black river was wooden
structure and not much bridge at
that. 1t was my pleasure to take a
general look at the town. / would
call Kingstree a real, up-to-date,
fourishing town now.
will mention some of the i'm
provements noted: First, you notice
a modern steel bridge across Black
river and coming in across the river
toward the railroad are many new,
up-to-date dwellings,, large brick
stores, nice EXPIRE office, a fine
court house that would do credit to
town four or five times the size of
Kingstree, a modern Jail and three
banks. If l mistake not, saw three
livery stables a large hotel and many
large brick stores All know of the
three tobacco warehouses. l believe
you can buy anything in Kingstree
from a paper of pins to the heaviest
farm machinery.
| will return to different parts of
the town. l visited the ice plant, the
school building, saw the Methodist,
Presbyterian and Baptist churches
that have been and are now being
built. They are certainly ornaments
to that part of the town. Work has
commenced on the park. which will
be beautiful place for recreation
and for the yo,ng people to make
love to each other. l also visited the
power house and saw the heavy en-
gines. The large cotton gins were
steadily humming. Kingstree is
surely on the hustle and offers great
inducements to coming industries.
They will soon have street cars, cot
ton mills. bagging factories, etc.
verify these things will soon come to
pass. Real estate is in good demand
and is~very reasonable.
Will say l met good many of
my old friends while on my ramble,
whom l was much pleased to see. l
will close with best wishes to Kings
tree and The County Record.
