Kingstree Drug Co never sold a
remedy that gave more complete sat-

Dodson's Liver Tone is guaranteed
by Kingstree Drug Co to be safe

You will find many persons in this

user will speak a good word for Dod-

pid liver and makes you feel fresh,
healthy and clean.
The price of a large bottle is so

The success of Dodson's Liver Tone

ALeteer to Our Teachers

At a meeting of the teachers on
last Saturday, 18th inst, arrange
ments were made for field day con-
test for the common school pupils
of the county. The contest will be
held at Lanes school on Friday, April
A, beginning sharp at IL O'Clock.
Like those of the high schools, the
contest will be of dual nature, liter
ary and athletic.
The literary features will be: A
spelling match-any common school
grades.
A composition contest subject to
be given after arrival at Lanes.
Two reading contests--one for
5th, 9Th and 7th grades and one for
lower grades.
Geography and history contest
any common school grades.
The athletic features will be:
For boys: 22O yard dash, 100 yard
dash, high jump, broad jump, hop,
skip and jump; sack race, tug-of-
war.
For girls: an apple race, a needle
race. .
Only the two latter features will
need explanation. A straight line
is marked 80 yards long for each
contestant in the apple race. Spaced
on these lines every 20 yards is an
apple. Each girl has a receptacle at
the end of the line, and the object
is to see which girl will place all
her apples in her basket first, re-
turning to the basket with each ap-
pie as she comes to it.
In the needle race one girl stands
at the end of a line 80 yards long
with a needle. At the other end,
the contestant with the thread. The
contestant must run with the needle,
thread it and return with the thread
ed needle to the starting point. The
one who does it first wins.
Two contestants for each event
are wanted from each school. 1t is
our intention to finish all exercises
by $50 p. m. l sincerely hope that
every school in the county will enter
contestants for some, at least, of the
events. Certainly every school
should he represented in the spell
ing match. We hope to be able to
award all winners with some little
token of their success. Won't yot
help us make this first field day fol
our county a success? AS soon as
possible send me the names of pu
pills you will enter for the severa
features.
The committee of arrangement!
consists of Mr. G j Hearsey, Lanes
Miss Mamie McLees, Cades; Mis-
Matte Harper, Greelyville.
