A WELL MERITED TRIBUTE.
Loving Cup Presented DR.. Wal
lace by Baptist Sunday school.

The Baptist church Of this place
was the scene of a pretty and i'm.
pressive ceremony Sunday preceding
the regular morning service. The
ceremony was occasioned by the
presentation of loving cup to DR.
William Lewis Wallace, one of the
best known and beloved practition-
ers in this and Clarendon county.
For 20 years DR. Wallace has been
superintendent of the klngstree
Baptist Sunday-school and an officer
of the church and as a mark of its
love and esteem for him the congre-
cation Sunday unanimously elected
him superintendent emeritus of the
Sunday-school and presented him
with a loving cup. The cup was
presented by the pastor, the Rev A
E Riemer. with appropriate remarks
in praise of DR. Wallace's faithful
services to the church and its Sun
day school. He believed in more
taffy for the living and less epitaphy
for the dead. The entire proceed.
ing was a secret to the venerable
doctor, and Immediately after the
opening hymn he was called outside
of the auditorium while the congre-
cation was advised as to what was
to take place and conferred the title
of superintendent emeritus, Then
DR. Wallace was recalled and the cup
presented. The cup is of silver, s
inches high, with four handles, anc
upon it is beautifully engraved the
inscription: TO William L Wallace
superintendent emeritus. from First
Baptist church, Kingstree. S G. A
servant of Jesus Christ. 1916

POULTRY ASSOCIATION.
Movement Made TO Organize in
Williamsburg.

The organization of poultry as
sociation in Williamsburg county has
been talked about for some time, but
while Mr. C C Cleveland, of Winthrop
Normal and Industrial college. was
in Kingstree Tuesday in connection
with girls poultry clubs, the propo-
sition assumed more tangible shape.
He was informed by Miss Edwards
of the Importance of such an organ
ization, and a little later the follow
ing persons were enrolled as pros
pective members:
Miss Amanda Edwards, Rev D A
Phillips, Drs C D Jacobs, R c Nc
Cabe, D C Scott and D P Frierson,
Messrs T E Arrowsmith, ] W Swift
tenberg. e C Burgess, W N Jacobs,
J B Clarkson and W F Tolley.
A number of these met Mr. Cleve-
land at the office of Miss Edwards
and are apparently enthusiastic over
the prospect of a permanent poultry
association in this county.
A meeting of the above named
will be held at an early date for the
purpose of organizing and electing
officers and drafting bylaws and
rules. If there are any in the county
who are now sufficiently interested
in this matter and desirous of be-
coming members of the organiza-
ton, they will please let the fact be
known to Miss Amanda Edwards.

Indigestion May be
Due to Constipation.
Neglect Of Important Function May
Seriously Impair the Health.

There are many people who believe
they suffer from indigestion when
their discomfort really is due to a
constipated condition.
Bloat, with its attendant mental
depression, sick headache, the belch-
ing of sour stomach gases, etc, are
frequently due to inaction Of the
bowels. Relieve the congestion and
the trouble usually disappears. The
use of cathartics and purgatives
should be avoided, however; these
shock the system unnecessarily and,
at best, their effect is but tempo
rary. A mild laxative is far pref
erable.
The compound of simple laxative
herbs known as DR. Caldwell's Sy-
rup Pepsin and sold in drug stores
for fifty cents a bottle, is highly
recommended. Mr. Benz Basin,
$50 Madison St, Gary, Ind, thinks
DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin a Won
derful medicine; for four years he
had severe case of indigestion and
constipation before trying DR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, which he is

UNLAWFUL COMBINATION

''Combining in an unlawful trust" is the condensed charge in the indicty ment that names the Youngstown Sheet and Tube company. the Republic States Steel corporation, the Brier Hill Steel company. the Youngstown Iron and Steel company, the Carnegie Steel company and Ebert H. Gary.
 Secrecy covers the extent of the evi- dence in the possession of Prosecutor Henderson and the grand jury affect ing the alleged agreement made be- tween the corporation and independent companies to regulate wage and price scales.
 In naming Judge Gary as the 'dic- tator of steel" Henderson declared that he was the sole individual in- dicted because it was necessary for the grand jury to rely on information furnished by officials of other com panies. He refused, however to make public the names of steel men who had testified.
 Sixty-two separate counts are contained in the indictment, which was returned today in Judge W. s. Andersons court They are uniform, each representing a day during the time that has elapsed since the wage and price agreement Is alleged to have been made.
 The grand jury, in its report to the court, declared that it was unable to fix any particular cause for the reign of anarchy in East Youngstown on January [, when several people were killed and many injured. and S1, 100000 worth of prop erty was destroyed
 Prosecutor Henderson tonight declared the trial of Gary and the six indicted corporations would be held within g month. He said an effort would be made to prove that the alleged combination to fix the price of labor brought about the unrest among laborers which resulted in the East Youngstown strike riots. If Judge Gary dves not come to Youngstown voluntarily for trial we will bring him here" the prosecutor said. Should the defendants be convicted the court could not order a dissolution of | the alleged unlawful combination, and Prosecutor Henderson says he is plan
 ming to commence a civil suit seeking
 to dissolve it.
 Prosecutor Henderson declared that the l federal government had had no part in the investigation and he does not know whether the department of justice would offer Its cooperation in trying the same.

GERMAN EXCHANGE TOUCHES LOWEST
 POINT IN HISTORY
(Contfnued from Page One)

terests have been heavy purchasers in American markets of various raw mate rials, principally cotton, copper and rub Der. The aggregate of these purchases, while not definitely known, is believed to approximate not less than $150000, 900. The various raw materials purchased for Germ account have been placed in storage warehouses. subject to delivery at German ports after the war. ~
 Taking todays quotations for marks as a basis, the German rate of exchange shows a depreciation of about 2S points from nominal parity. Prior to the war the price of marks hece ranged between s22s4 and 23 cents. Today's minimum es- tablished value for marks at this cen ter of slight fraction over IS cents
 In connection with the decline it is interesting to know that American bank CTS offering war bonds issued by the German empire, as well as Austria-Hun- gary, have found it necessary to lower the subscription prices for these issues not less than five times in order to meet the depreciated value of German and Austrian currency.
 Kronen, or Austrian exchange, also declined today in sympathy witk the lower rates quoted for marks So far as could be learned, the new low price for marks resulted from moderate of ferings of finance and commercial bills on Berlin. Frankfort and Hamburg Deal ings in Austrian exchange were aIto- gether nominal.
 The increased discounts at which our remittances to the countries are now being offered baffles comprehension of veteran observers in this country because of the mystery which surrounds finan- cial conditions in Germany and Austria.
 Local bankers, including those having influential connections in Germany. pro- fess to have little or no actual knowledge of financial affairs in that country, aside from the irregular statements issued by the Imperial Bank of Germany
