Activities of a Small Bow

The man who can teal the story of a
year In the life OF small boy SO truly
that grown men will recognize themselves
IN II is as rare as the man who can write
an interesting and convincing biograhy of
an adult Howard Brubaker. in "Ranny."
has accomplished the difficult task Of re-
cording the experiences of boy OF "eight.
going on nine," together with his mental
states In way that Is delightful. Mr.
Brubaker has not forgotten his own youth,
for he describes the point of view OF the
boy with an insight and understanding
most unusual. He exhibits his hero's de-
light at the friendship Of a grown-up base
hall player, his moral struggles over the
propriety OF playing marbles for keeps, his
contempt for girls and the ridicule that his
playmates heap upon him when he is seen
talking with n girl, and his agony when
his parents made him go to a party.
Ranny is not bad boy and his pranks
are not Of the kind that can be described
as vicious. They are merely the result of
his normal and healthful interest in life
The story Is told with a deep appreciation
Of the humor Of 1t all and a tolerant atti-
tude toward the boys immaturties, an
attitude that is shared by the grOwn-ups
In the book 1t Is genuinely human tale
Of boy life In a small American city. and
It is filed with such kindly spirit that
the reading Of 1t Is restful and cheering.
A boy can read 1t without coming to any
harm.

cessful Week

The Imperial Band, conducted by Gu-
seppe Rodla, will continue to be one of the
main attractions at Woodside Park next
week, with Miss Edna Wallace as the solo,
ist This will be the seventh consecutive
week the Imperial Band has furnished musi-
cal programs to the crowds that daily visit
the park.
The program for this week will consist
largely of marches and popular and patr-
otc numbers. Miss Wallace, who is an
exceptional outdoor singer for contralto,
will render patriotic selections daily.
The park Is rapidly reganing the position
It enjoyed before the fire last spring as
place of entertainment. Many amusement
places have temporarily taken the place of
those destroyed until permanent places can
be built between the time the park closes
this fall and time for its opening next
spring.
The audiences compare favorably with
those Of former seasons, and as the sea-
son advances the park is rapidly re-
gaining the popularity it had before the
fire.

MOTHER! YOUR CHILD
is CROSS, FEVERISH.
FROM CONSTIPATION
If Tongue is Coated, Breath Bad,
Stomach Sour. Clean Liver and
Bowels.

Give "California Syrup of Figs" at
once-a teaspoonful today often saves
a sick child tomorrow.
If your little one is out-of- sorts,
half-sick, isn't resting, eating and act
ing naturally-look, Mother! see if
tongue is coated. This is a sure sign
that its little stomach, liver and bow
els are clogged with waste. When
cross, irritable, feverish, stomach sour,
breath bad or has stomach-ache, diar-
rhoea, sore throat, full of cold, give d
teaspoonful of "California Syrup of
Figs" and in few hours all the con-
stipated poison, undigested food and
sour bile gently moves out of it's little
bowels without gripping, and you have
a well, playful child again.
Mothers can rest easy after giving
this harmless "fruit laxative" because
it never fails to cleanse the little ones
liver and bowels and sweeten the
stomach and they dearly love it's pleas
ant taste. Full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
printed on each bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for 50-cent bottle
of "California Syrup of Figs;" then
see that it is made by the California
Fig Syrup Company"

The Episcopal church has recently
about carried through plan for rails
ing $5,OOO,OOOOO, which is to be set
aside and the proceeds used to take
care of the ministers who have
reached the age for retirement from
active service or who have become
incapacitated by reason of disease or
accident. This is worthy movement
and could, with profit, be followed by
all denominations of Christians. The
problem of the 'old preacher" is one
that all Christian bodies are confront
ed with. The trouble is that most
religious bodies shut their eyes to the
needs of the situation and the ere
tired" minister is left like an old,
worn-out horse to die.

ROCK HILL FIRE
CAUSES DAMAGE
Ratterree Building Suffers From
Flames-Quarters Occupied by
Chamber of Commerce in Part
Visited by Flames.

Rock Hill, Dec. 31.-Fire early this
morning gutted a portion of the Rat
terree building on Railroad avenue,
doing damage amounting to several
thousand dollars. The stores of John
Aver and of Peter Elias were the
hardest hit, their stocks being either
burned or ruined by water.
The fire penetrated the second floor,
damaging the entire portion occu-
pied by the Chamber of Commerce,
the city library and the public rest
room. The furnishings in the sec
retary's Office are so badly damaged
that they can not be used again until
renovated and some of the furniture
is beyond repair. In the library ad-
joining large number of books were
burned and hundreds were soaked
with water and the rest room fur
nishings are a complete loss. Hun
dreds of chairs of the Chamber of
Commerce are stained and smoked.
1t is understood arrangements will
be made for temporary offices for the
commercial organization until the
building can be repaired. The floor
burned through at several places in
the Office and in the library. The
chambers loss will be covered by
insurance. The loss to Aver & Son
will amount to several thousand dol
lars, while the store of Elias e. Bro,
in which the fire originated, will be
still greater. The entire building will
have to be reworked and the loss to the
owner will be several thousand dollars,
covered by insurance. The entire loss

The fact that Columbia has secured
one of the twelve Farmers Loan
Banks, is distinct triumph for that
city, and for the State as well. IN
less we are very much mistaken the
establishment of these banks is going
to mark the beginning of an epoch
of tremendous progress in agricul-
ture, particularly in the South. Many
farmers appear to be a bit suspicious
of these banks, but the suspicion is
unfounded. There is no trap nor
doubtful proposition about the move
ment. 1t is movement to give the
farm owner or prospective farm own
er, low interest on long term loan.
We believe the government is making
an honest effort to help the farmers
Of the county. And many Of them
will, no doubt, take advantage of the
opportunity offered them.
