Now,as to the prospects for 1914:
We have heard of so many pro-
jected improvements that to main
tain our standard as a conservative
newspaper we would hardly dare to
print them all. We therefore elimi-
nate the doubtful ones and in the
immediate future we find the fol-
lowing buildings in sight:
Mrs J E Kennedy is having built
a brick tobacco warehouse, 75x150
feet in size, to cost approximately
S6,5O0.
Mr. L C Montgomery has let the
contract for a dwelling, to cost about
$4,000, on Brooks street.
Ell Hirsch, Esq, advises US that he
intends to erect, within the next few
months. six tenant cottages, adjoin-
ing the Hirsch premises in North
west Kingstree, to cost about 50, 500
each.
The Kingstree Dry Goods Co is
remodeling the interior of its store
at cost of about $500.
Work on the new houses of Messrs
E C Burgess in North Kingstree and
P S Courtney in Nelson's Addition
is rapidly approaching completion.
AS a harbinger of future prosper
ity this looks we'll on paper; when
the naturalization has been effect
ed we expect and look forward to
a better and bigger Kingstree. Our
town is moving forward along every
line of industry, and we honestly be-
lieve that the ensuing year for
Kingstree will be one of the best
and brightest in her annals.
