Capitol View Methodist church which was built through his efforts and Dr. Monk sent him to this church at $4OO year.
 Again the Rev. Mir. Buhler began working back and worked his sal ary at this church up to $1,500 a year. Now comes the latest change. At the conference at Mon ticello last week the Rev. Mir. Buh- Ter had his salary trimmed again by being transferred from a $1,- 500 pastorate to the Hawley Mem orial church at Pine Bluff which carries with it salary of $400.
 Members of the church held an indignation meeting yesterday and protested against MT. Buhlers transfer.
 MT. Buhler said yesterday after noon that he had been transferred to the Pine Bluff pastorate and that he would accept, as he felt 1t his duty to the church to go where he was sent. He said that he knew nothing of the indignation meeting until he was notified by members of his congregation. MT. Buhler made no charges against Dr. Monk.
 Tt is without foundation-untru to the core" eXpostulated pr. Alon- 20 Monk, the presiding elder of the district, when asked if there was any truth in the statements that he had attempted to railroad" the Rev. MT. Buhler from the district

their car in some convenient spot, pre-
lpared their meal on an alcohol stove
cooking potatoes and meat on the equip
ment easily, set their table in the real
lof the ear and, on retiring, took out thi
front seat of the vehicle and spread th'
mattress ON the floor OF the car. They
say that they really preferred that
method Of keeping their own hotel rath
er than staying inside Of a real hotel.
Their route was the so-called Santa II
route through Arizona and New Mexico
and they were extremely fortunate as
regards wet weather, running into only
three transforms during the entire trip
across the continent. They were not so
fortunate az regards the quality of the
roads travelled, but that difficulty is such
as comes to all auto tourists. The roads
| in the West were poor, very poor in some
places. The fact that they broke three
springs on their car testifes to some of
the roughness, as does the fact that they
sprung one axle. In addition they burned
out one bearing. Otherwise, their car
passed through the test without mis-.
hap, except OF course as to tires.
"How many blowouts and punetures
did you have?" Mr.. Hutchinson was
asked.
Il didn't undertake to keep track OF
them,' he answered, 'but ] do recall
that | took one casing off eight times In
one day. However, that was in part
due to faulty inner tube"
They made an average of II and l.6
miles per gallon Of gasoline on the entire
trip, boosting their average considerably
coming east from Indiana. Up to that
point they had averaged only about l6
miles per gallon. The improvement of
the average was due TO the far better
roads in the eastern part of the country,
"The worst roads we struck were in
Missouri" remarked Mr.. Hutchinson;
Missouri gumbo is about the limit"
The best roads of the trip we found
in Indiana, New York, and New Eng
land; they were fine in all those local.
ties, and Vermont's roads, find, com
pare very favorably with any Of those
which we Travelled over and were much
better than most Of the roads"
Mr.. and Mrs. Hutchinson are looking
forward with considerable anticipation
TO seeing the Camp families when they /
return from California. the latter having |
started Aug. 1. For the FIVE years prior /
to their going 20 San Diego. Mr.. and /
Mrs Hutchinson were located in Spring. /

MoToRED ACROSS CONTINENT.
Mr.. and Mrs. G. S. Hutchinson Enthusi
astic About 4,sIo-Mile Journey.

| Among .ae automobile visitors II
Barre yesterday were Mr. and Mrs. G. s
Hutchinson, who have just motored
across the continent from San Diego
California, and who are making briet
visit in Vermont, being for the time
being the guests of George Ford in Brain
tree. They were the autoists whom i. d.
Camp Of North Randolph wrote to The
Times about meeting in Colorado Springs,
while he and his fellow motorists were
en- route for California, the Hutchinsons
then being on their way East.
Speaking of his cross-eontinent tour,
while In Barre yesterday, Mr.. Hutchin.
son was most enthusiastic and declared
he would like to start right back on a
similar trip with only a days notice.
Both he and his wife enjoyed good health
all the way from the Pacific coast, al
though Mr.. Hutchinson lost 70 pounds
in the eight weeks, largely due TO the
nervous strain Of being constantly at
the wheel of the automobile. They va.
ried their trip a little by stopping now
and then, being about six weeks actually
on the road, their longest stop being In
Indiana, where they remained ten days.
The odometer on their Overland touring
car showed that they trayersed 4,3l0
miles after leaving the beautiful city Of
San Diego, where they had spent II
months. They had gone to the Pacific
coast by train.l
The Hutchinsons literally lived in their
day and night, as they did
not carry tents as the Camp families
did. When nightfall came, they halted

Town Council Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of

town hall last night, the Mayor and
all the Councilmen being present.
The application of the Kingstree
Telephone Co for the use of the
streets of the town of Kingstree for
the placing of underground cables,
etc, in connection with the local tel
ephone system, was taken up for
consideration and passed third read
ing. The telephone company was
granted permission to use the streets
for the purpose of installing its
new system with such limitations
and restrictions as will insure the
town against loss or damage on the
part of said company.
Messrs w R Funk, w I Wilkins
and G Ollie Epps, officers of the
Kingstree Telephone Co, were pres
ent and stated their plans fully to
the Mayor and Councilmen. Said
plans will involve an expenditure of
between 100000 and 100000
and when the new system is COM
pleted it promises to be thoroughly
modern in every respect.

Death of a Centenarian.

Matilda Singleton, an aged and

Monday night. In ante bellum days
this old woman belonged to DR. and
Mrs T D Singleton. and later to DR.
and Mrs ] S Brockington, parents of
Mrs 7 M Gilland and DR. W Y Brock

also nursed DR. Brockington and the
other children of his parents, for
whom she has always shown marked
affection. "Au Matilda" or Mum
Tilla". as sh, was called by her
white chillun was about 95 years

The funeral services of this kind
hearted old woman were held Tues

WAREHOUSE TRANSFERRED.
The Scott Warehouse Becomes
Part of State System.

The Scott Cotton Storage ware
house has been taken into the State
warehouse system for the storing
and holding of cotton. Plans for
transfer of the Scott warehouse
were perfected yesterday when
State Deputy Warehouse Commis-
sioner, Col Jno D White of Chester.
came to Kingstree and took the
big warehouse into the State system.
Heretofore this house has been oper-
ated as private storage warehouse
by DR. D G Scott, owner of the build
ing, and already a large number of
bales have been placed in it. Par
ties having cotton stored in the
Scott warehouse will be required to
surrender their present warehouse
receipts, and receive in their stead a
regular State warehouse receipt.
This receipt may then be used with
out the least difficulty as collateral
for borrowing money on the cotton.
MIR D C Scott, Jr, has been ap-
pointed State warehouseman and
will have charge of the warehouse.

Report on Rural Police Work.

The report of w E Allen. rural
policeman, recently submitted to the
grand jury of Williamsburg county,
as per their requirement, shows that
during the three years he has been
in office. November l, 1912, to No
vember l, 1915, inclusive, the con-
victions procured from arrests made
by him are as follows:
Collected fines imposed by court,
$l,961.00.
Number of days on chaingang Tin
addition to fines), 4,310.
All of the above has been the re-
suit of Mr. Aliens arrests.
Now, rs to the number of crimes
that have been prevented because of
the vigilance he has exercised, and
the good moral effect of having a
rural police "on the job" is mere
conjecture, but it is reasonable to be-
lieve that it has had a wholesome
effect on some who would otherwise
commit crimes against the State of
South Carolina.
Now that the dispensary will be
closed after January I, we hope that
our delegation will see fit to give us
two more rural police, fearing that
there may be an inclination on the
part of some people to run blind
tigers or possibly resort to the ILL
cit distilling of alcoholic liquors.

4 Pine EhOOping Cough Remedy.

Mothers, DR. Bells Pine -Tar-Honey
is just the remedy for your chill
dren's cold ailments. The fact is
that pine is quick enemy of cold
conditions. Its qualities loosen the
mucus in the throat. soothe the
lungs and open up the air passages.
The combination of honey. soothing
and pleasant, with the loosening
pine quality makes this an ideal
cough remedy for children. Each
passing year brings for it new
friends. A family of growing chill
dren cannot afford to be without it.

The 25-horse power tractor and
two trucks, property of the road
department of the county, were Of
fered for sale by Commissioner j N
Hammet, who bid it in at $4,000.
Apparently there was no one pres
ent at the sale in need of such ma
chinery, as bidding on the same was
slow. The machinery originally cost
the county about 81, 100000. we are
informed, and can, with a little over
hauling, be made as good as new. 1t
is a bargain for anyone who can find
use for a heavy tractor and two good
trucks.
