Cholera was not the cause of the
death Of about two hundred hogs at va
points up the va ley lately, ac-
cording to Rex +. Willard of the farm
management division of the Department
of Agriculture. Mr.. Willard made an
| investigation of the losses, and found
that i'm some cases the hogs had died OF
heat, caused by insufficient shade, and
i'm one instance seventy head had been
lost through eating poisoned slop from
"a hotel.
Mr.. Willard stated positively that
! there is not a ease of hog cholera in the

era had set in but this has been consld-

NEW ADDITION
OPENS SATURDAY
JOHN j. HARDEN, WE'LL KNOWN
REAL ESTATE MAN, PUTS NEW
HARDEN ADDITION ON MARKET
200 LOTS.
MEN, TEAMS AND WAGONS HAVE
BEEN ENGAGED FOR WEEKS IN
CLEARING SITE OF BRUSH AND
UNDERGROUND.

John j. Harden. who recently con-
Quoted successfully the sale of lots in the
4 West Brownsville addition, announces the
opening If a new addition, to be known as
the Harden addition to the city of
Brownsville. The addition comprises
about two hundred lots located in and
being a part of the old Paroles addition.
located in the eastern part of the city,
' and about three blocks from the Rio
Grande railroad station. The location is
about eight blocks from the corner OF
Twelfth and Elizabeth streets. the heart
of the business section of the city.
Twenty-Five men and several wagons.
teams and scrapers have been engaged for
several weeks in the task of clearing the
ositd and grading the streets and placing
them in good condition. Brush and I'M
dergrowth have been cleared from the
site. and the lots nave been measured off
and staked with white painted stakes, OF
| which are given in plain figures the mum
bers of the l3ts.
Carl III. MOreau head salesman for the
J addition, states that though applications
have been received for lots in the new
addition zone have been sold and will not
be until the company officially places the
addition on the market, which will be
promptly at 8 o'clock, Saturday morning.
November 1.
An Office has been established on the
aground, at the corner of Twelfth and Tay-
. Tor streets. and here statesmen will be
found at all hours during the day.
The promoters of this addition state
that the addition method of disposing of
home lots at reasonable prices and terms
is taking hold in the larger towns and
cities everywhere, giving the people OPP
%portunity to invest without seriously in
A1conveniencing themselves financially.
They are considered good propositions as
investments especially when small houses
! for rental purposes are constructed on
them.

Tax On Bananas.

South Carolina fruit dealers
have appealed to Senator llllman
to try to prevent the tariff ON
bananas of five cents bunch
Tillman AYERS that he is helpless
in the matter, as this item has
already been agreed upon in Dem
ocratic caucus. The Senate bill
imposing this tax on bananas,
from this angle, seems wholly IN
consistent and indefensible. Ba-
nanas are not grown for market
in the United States, but are
imported in vast quantities from
the tropics. By reason OF their
cheapness and wholesome proper
ties, they have become a very
valuable article Of food, especial
ly among the poor classes, whose
daily problem in these times OF
high cost Of living is to obtain
the most nutricious food at a
minimum cost. The tax on ba-
nanas will of course come out OF
the pocket of the consumer, be-
ing multiplied many times over
by the time the fruit reaches
the retail customer.
1t seems the height Of econ
omic absurdity to impose a tax
on bananas while coffee and tea
are admitted free, the one being
P food product, while the others
might be claSsed as luXuries.
These things considered, it is
to be hoped that even yet the
banana tax may he omitted from
the Democratic tariff bill.

WHY NOT GET A GUARANTEED
Every Article OF Merit thai Is Sold These
Days is Guaranteed No Guarantee
Often Means Poor Quality.

There is very little excuse for any
person to claim that he has been
"stung" on purchase. Fifty years
ago the buyer had to look out, but
today it is unusual to find a merchant
who will not return the money for
any article that has proved unsatis-
factory.
An excellent example of this kind
of fair dealing is shown by the clean
out guarantee that DR. W V Brock
ington gives on Dodson's Liver Tone.
These people tell US that any per-
son who pays soc for bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone and does not find it
a gentle and most pleasant liver ton
ic, harmless, but a sure reliever of
constipation and a perfect substitute
for calomel, can get his money back
just as quick as they can get it out
Of the money drawer.
Dodson's Liver Tone has practical
ly taken the place of calomel. 1t is
absolutely harmless, sure in its action
and causes no restriction of habit or
diet. No wonder the drug people
are glad to guarantee it, while 9TH
er remedies that initiate the claims
of Dodson's Liver Tone are not guar
anteed at all. adv.

Realizing their need of larger,
better and more modern house of
worship the innate desire of the
members of the Kingstree Baptist
church can probably be most fitting
ly expressed in the words of David
the Psalmist, when he said: One
thing have | desired of the Lord, that
will | seek after, that | may dwell in
the house of the Lord all the days of
my life, to behold the beauty Of the
Lord and to enquire in his temple. y

to the salvation of mankind, a hand

struction in kingstree, the corner

the impressive Masonic ceremonies,
in the presence of large concourse of
people from various sections of the
county, and a large number of visit
ing Masons.
The occasion is another important
epoch in the upbuilding of Kingstree,
as it marks the erection of a second
new and handsome edifice in the
community, which will shortly be
dedicated to the services of the Di-
vine Architect. Until the erection
of the new Methodist church, which
was completed last year, church
property in Kingstree was at dis
tressingly low ebb. with scarcely
more than a ground valuation. The
erection by the Methodist congrega-
tion seemed to infuse new life and

energy into the other denominations
and early in this year the Baptists,
through the untiring efforts and
leadership of their pastor, Rev W
E Hurt, began to realize a material
fulfllment of their long cherished
desire that they might worship in
more suitable house and behold
the beauty of the Lord in a more
modern temple erected to His honor
and glory.
It's conservatively estimated that
in 1903 the value of all ch':rch prop
erty in Kingstree vas about 81 900,
while by the I'D of the present year,
l913,b by which time the Baptists and
Prestyterians will each have COM
pleted handsome new churches, its
value will have increased to S65, 900,
including the Episcopal chapel and
two colored churches. For the past
generation the Baptists have Wor-
SHIPPED in a small, uncomfortable
frame building, which has in recent
years become inadequate for congre-
gatlonal and Sunday-school purposes.
The new building, a picture of
which appears here, will be complet-
ed and ready for occupancy by No
vember l it is thought, and will have
seating capacity of about 400. 1t
will contain a large auditorium, sep
arate Sunday-school room, with a
number of class rooms, a pastors
study and a ladies' parlor. The
building is of pressed brick, has
large, porch-like main entrance on
Academy street, with four massive
columns, and a side or separate en-
trance to the Sunday school room on
Brooks street. The windows will be
of ornamental glass. The equipment
will be modern in every particular
and the completed editice will be an
ornament to the town and county.
Its cost will approximate, when COM
pleted and equipped, $4,000, most
of which has been already raised by
the pastor.

Acting Grand Master Niche and his
acting grand lodge officers perform
ed the ceremony. The invocation
was pronounced by the acting Grand
Prelate, Rev w E Hurt, while the
great crowd stood with barred heads
in perfect silence. Acting Grand
Treasurer J w Cook here read a list
of the articles contained in the met
al box which he placed in the stone,
then the Marshal presented the Mas
ter with the working tools with the
customary salutation: "Worshipful,
the necessary arrangements having
been made for laying the corner
stone of this building, present you
the square, level. plumb and trowel,
those useful implements of the
craft, by which you will be able to
ascertain that the materials have
been properly prepared, and the
cornerstone you are about to lay
we'll formed, true and trusty." The
Grand Master in turn presented these
tools to the officers who proceeded
to set the stone in place. The Mar
shal then inspected the stone and re-
ported to the presiding officer, say
ing: "Worshipful, have examined
the foundation stone and find it true
and trusty and we'll laid. May this
fraternal undertaking be prosecuted
by the craftsmen to completion, &C.
cording to the grand plan, and in
peace, love and harmony"

nounced perfect, and was presented

H Jacobs with the horn of plenty,
from which corn was poured upon

Warden Robert W Fulton then
presented the vessel containing
the wine of refreshment, and like
wise Acting Junior Grand Warden
IN Speigner presen ted the vessel
containing the oil of joy and glad
ness with which the stone was
anointed.
The cornerstone was placed in the
southeast corner by special permis-
sion from the Grand Lodge of South
Carolina, and its two sides face
Academy and Brooks streets. On
one side is inscribed:

The receptacle placed in the stone
contained list of the officers and
members of the church, list of coun-
ty and town officials, copy Of the
News and Courier, the Columbia
State, The County Record, the Baptist
Courier,a a l-cent piece a scent piece,
1O-cent piece, a 25-cent piece, So
cent piece, a dollar piece and a list
of the articles. The receptacle was
sealed and placed in the hollow of
the stone.
The service was interspersed with
the usual ritualistic music, rendered
bya selected choir led by Metz s band.
After the acting Grand Master had
finished his labors and returned the
tools of the craft to the contractor,
he stepped to the front of the plat,
form and delivered ali address upon
Masonry. He stressed the beautiful
tenets of the order in excellent style
and language.
When MIR Niche had concluded
his address, Hon Philip H Stoll,
Solicitor for the Third circuit, spoke
briefly and eloquently with reference
to the church and the untiring efforts
of the pastor, Rev W E Hurt. who,
he said, deserves the credit for its
erection, and if for nothing more,
the structure will stand as monu-
ment to his zeal.
MIR Stoll introduced Lieutenant
Governor Chas A Smith of Timmons-
Vile, who delivered an eloquent and
appropriate address. He spoke feel
ingly of the Christians duty and of
the Importance of the church.
After the exercises incident to the
laying of the cornerstone, the Ma
sonic body escorted by the local lodge
and led by Metz's band, were taken
to the home of Mr. D j Epps, where
a picnic was given on his spacious
lawn. Pine bark stew and barbecued
shoat with rice were served in abun-
dance, and to say that it was prepar-
ed to kings taste is only putting
it mildly. In speaking OF the enjoy
ment Of the feast, Mr. Epps said, in
his characteristic manner, as when
speaking of a good tobacco sale at
his warehouse, not a single ticket
was tucked"
