Tobacco Men Entertained.

The Kingstree Board of Trade
rendered reception and smoker at
Nelson's Warehouse last night to
its members and the tobacco men
engaged on the Kingstree market.
The occasion was a jolly one. Music
was discoursed throughout the even
ing, sandwiches, soft drinks and
cigars were served in abundance and
the hours passed merrily until
nearly midnight.
Solicitor P H Stoll, on behalf of
the Board of Trade, in a very ap-
propriate little speech, welcomed the
visitors to Kingstree. In response
Mr. Henry Wood, president of the
Kingstree Tobacco Board OF Trade,
thanked the members of the local
board and the business men Of the
town in general for the loyal hospi-
tality shown the tobacco men in
Kingstree.
Mr. E L Morgan, proprietor of
Morgan's Warehouse, also made a
little speech in which he paid the
citizens of Kingstree high tribute,
characterizing them as "the best
people on earth, save a few in North
Carolina and Virginia" from whence
most of these gentlemen hail.
On Tuesday Mr. D ] Epps enter
tained the tobacco men at one of his
famous pinebark stews.

held at the home Tuesday and the funeral

About Some Old-Timers

| Judge Powers and Ariel Wilson met the
other day in the barber shop. Nothing
strange about this, but their meeting
brought out the fact that both were boys
together rs years ago over at Morris
town Corners and they have kept up the
acquaintance ever since Mr.. Wilson is
stopping with relatives in this village
new, but for fifty years he lived on
McKinstry Hill in Hyde Park, at about
the highest point in town, where the air
is decidedly salubrious and plenty of it
the year round When asked by the
writer "how old are your" he replied
that he was SO. Now "Ariel" is an in
yeterate tobacco chewer and always has
been. "Well," we remarked Don't you
think you might live to be an old man if
you didn't use tobacco ?" "Yes," he
he said, az guess so. but l have some
with me now and always have had it
by me-
And that reminds us of a story that
sheriff Town tells. Awhile ago while
driving along the road he met Lyman
Camp plodding along with a rake and
pitchfork in his hands. Asking Lyman
to ride, he gladly accepted the offer and
on reaching his destination Lyman, in
spite of his years, nimbly jumped out of
the wagon, not waiting tor it to stop.
mot necessary" saws he. Il am just as
sprv and nimble as ever was all owing
to the fact that l never used liquor or
tobacco" "Well," says Town, that
may be. Mr.. Camp, but my father lived
to be SO and he took a nip every day."
"Oh, yes" says Lyman, ." know all
about that, but he was an exception"
