are not, speaking in general terms,
encouraging. Corn that is up. looks
very we'll, but that which is in the
ground is likely to stay there. unless
it rains soon. We have seen some
corn that is twelve, or more, inches
in height. The cotton that came
up week or so ago has been thin
ned out by the cool nights and the
excessive dryness. But must of the
seed planted has not come up, and
no doubt good deal of this will
never come up, as such of the seeds
as swelled but failed to sprout well,
are rotten. Stands of tobacco are
poor, due to the lack of rain and the
scarcity of plants, Quite a lot of
plants that were set out have died
since. The outlook now is that poor
stands and little fertilizers will cer-
tainly cause very small crop of to-
bacco to be harvested this season.
The wheat crops are looking very
well-in fact much better than the
oat crops, and the promise is that
we will have right good supply of
-four.
Of course, it is hardly necessary
to say that rain is needed. That
fact will be accepted as matter of
course. There has been but one
that amounted to a decent rain since
the first of March. and that was the
rain that fell on April 7.
Three young men came into town
last Sunday in Ford. With them
they had quart of alcohol, which
they claimed they used to prime the
engine of the Ford. Some folks
seem to think they "primed" their
own little engines" with this alco-
hol. Be that as it may, they were
in hilarious spirits, and along the
side of street tried to make the Ford
do some ditching. The Ford buck
ed, turned over and went to sleep
on the job in a dilapidated condi-
ton. The young men went to sleep
in the refrigerator"
Messrs " R Barringer, of Flor
ence, and ] S McInnis, of Darling
ton. candidates for Congress, were
here last Friday. 1t is supposed
that they talked to some voters, as
candidates sometimes do that thing.
Miss Blanche Stuckey, of Lake
City and Mr. James King, of Flor.
ence, were married last night. The
affair was a quiet one, and some
what of a surprise to many. The
bride is a daughter of Mr. ] l. Stuc-
key, the well.known live stock deal
er. Mr. King is a son of DR. w L

Mothers Day.

In recent years the second Sunday
in May has been observed as Moth
ers' Day" and commemorative SER
vices are usually held in various
churches and Sunday-schools. The
idea of paying widespread re-
spect and admiration to one who
plays so important part in
the moral welfare of the world
is beautiful one and deserv-
ing of universal recognition, there
fore, let US retaember this next
Sunday and pay homage to the dear
east and best friend we have ever
had or ever will have on earth. If
you can do nothing more in honor
of her memory, and if you cannot be
with her, wear white rose on the
lapel of your coat.

Reliable Laxative
Relieved This Baby.
Child Was Badly Cons'lpated till Mother
Tried Simple Remedy.

In spite of every care and atten-
ton to diet, children are very apt to
become constipated, a condition re-
sponsible for many ills in after life
unless promptly relieved.
Mrs G w Wilson Of Shelbyville,
Tenn, had trouble with her baby
boy, Woodrow, until she heard Of
DR. Caldwcll's Syrup Pepsin. She
writes, Il can safely say DR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin is the best rem
edy Of its kind on earth. 1t acts so
gently and yet so surely. Little
Woodrow was very badly constipat-
ed, and we could find nothing that
gave relief until we tried your Syrup
Pepsin, which gaveimmediaterelef."
DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
compound Of simple laxative herbs,
free from opiates or narcotic drugs,
mild in action, positive in effect and
pleasant to the taste. 1t has been
prescribed by DR. Caldwell for more

Our Contest Manager.

Mr. ] F Joyce, who with his wife is
conducting The Record contest, comes
highly recommended by such lead
ing papers in the South as the Char
lotte Observer, Winston-Salem Sen
tinel, Evening Dispatch. Whining
ton; Concord Times. High Point En-
terprise. Greensboro Record, OF
North Carolina; the Greenwood In
dex, Newbery Observer, Anderson
Intelligencer, Sumter Herald, Dillon
Herald, etc. We trust that all our
citizens who come in contact with
him or his charming wife will extend
them hearty welcome.
Mr. and Mrs Joyce came to Kings
tree from Florence, where they have
twice conducted contests for the
Times, the first one, in 1913, being a
baby contest, and the second one.
which closed about three weeks
ago, was in every respect similar to
the one being conducted by Mr. and
Mrs Joyce for The County Record.
While in Florence in 1918 Mr. Joyce
visited US, and the late editor. Mr. G
w Wolfe, was highly impressed with
his personality and his methods of
conducting contests, and had he not
been in i'll health. he would have en-
gagged Mr. Joyce to conduct contest
for this paper.

NEWSY LAKE CITY LETTER.
Hof-Footed for Firebug---Much
Buildfng--Hymeneal.

Lake City, May 10:-A C Kinds,
Esq, of Messrs Kelley & Kinds, was
in town Tuesday as attorney for GER
tain litigants in Magistrate Baldwin's
court.
Mr. A B Wharton, fire investiga-
tor for the insurance commissioner,
spent few days here the latter
part of last week. 1t is supposed
that his visit had some connection
with the recent fire when the Star
warehouse was burned. Every per-
son with whom this writer has talk
ed is firmly convinced in his own
mind that that fire was no accident.
and it is hoped by those who respect
law and order that some determined
efforts will be- made to discover the
incendiary, and put a stop to this
thing.
DR. A H Williams attended the
meeting of the board of fisheries IN
Georgetown last week. The George
town fishermen claim that during
the season just over they caught the
shad out at sea and beyond the
three-mile limit of State jurisdiction,
and that they, the fish. are, there
fore, not subject to the tax. AS
the shad are caught beyond the linn
its of the jurisdiction of the State
according to the statement of these
fishermen), the theory is that they,
the shad, are in transit from the
point out at sea where caught,
thence through the State to the
point of destination, and are. there
fore, exempt from this tax by the
State. Arrangements are being
made, it is understood, to test this
theory in the courts in order that
the matter may be settled definitely.
Mrs C D Rollins and children of
Petersburg, Va, are visiting the par
ents of the former.
A good deal of building is going
on in town at this time. The store
of ] P Matthews & Co is getting its
last finishing touches, which store,
by the way. is one Of the handsom-
est and most substantial in town.
The Farmers and Merchants Bankis
enlarging its banking house by an
addition of twelve feet in width its
entire length. This will give room
for the big business this bank is do
ing. Mr. C M Kelley is building two
stores. Both will extend foom Main
street, around two sides of the bank
above mentioned which is on the
corner, to Acline avenue. and will
have two fronts. Mr. j S McClam
is building his new store on very
nearly the same site of his wooden
building which was burned last win
ter. The walls and roof of this
house are completed. This store is
about fifty by hundred and fifty
feet. All these buildings Care of

Interesting Programme Witness
ed by Large Audience.


The 19l5-1S session of the Spring
Bank school came to a close last Fri
day night, and the exercises incident
10 the occasion were a fitting climax
10 the splendid work that had been
accomplished during the term under
the tutorship of Miss Blanche Reep.
whose capabilities as a teacher, an
able and efficient trainer Of children
cannot be questioned, for in the sue
eessful rendition of such a highly
interesting and entertaining pro-
gramme as was witnessed by the
large audience of friends and pa
irons of the school Friday night,
there was ample evidence of the
splendid training the pupils had re-
eeived.
The programme of exercises was

Those winning prizes for scholar
ships were Addie Williamson, fifth

the omission of Mr. Wilkin'sspeech.
There were about thirty children
in the school, divided into eight
grades. 1t was a one-teacher school.
in which little Miss Reep was prin-
cipal, teacher and assistant teacher
all in one. and to say that she did
not do her work faithfully and well
would be no depression from facts.
A number of ladies and gentle
men from Kingstree attended the
exercises and are unstinted in their
praises of the excellent work of the
school and the hospitality of the peo-
ple of the community.
