IT DEPENDS ON YOt
Whether The Kingstree High School
Will Have an Alumnae-A!umni
Association.

All graduates of the NngStree
High School 90 or II year courses)
are requested to show their interest
in their Alma Mater by being pres
ent at the meeting to be held in the
school auditorium at 9 o'clock on the
night of July 1st. 1919.
A skeleton organization has been
formed but no working organization
has been perfected. To put the Asso
citation on firm footing for work
will be the purpose of the July 1st.,
meeting. At the meeting permanent
officers will be elected, constitu
ton and system of bylaws adopt
ed, committees appointed and then
anything that may properly come
before the Association.
1t is the duty and privilege OF
every graduate to join this associa-
ton. His duty-because, in so doing
he can repay in some small measure
the debt which he owes to the school
that gave him his pre-collegiate
training, by working for her better
ment. His privilege-in that by rails
ing the standard of the Kingstree
High School the youth of this coun-
ty could receive free, training which
is now denied them because of its
excessive COSTS that not great
privilege, are we not our brothers
keeper?
Then there is the social feature.
Is it not a pleasant prospect that
faces the graduate-the fact that he
will make common endeavor with his
old classmates no more-is it not.
Not the least feature of the Alum
nae-Alumni Association will be this
bringing together again of old school
friends.

Modern Eye Testing Apparatus

Mr.. T. E. Baggett, jeweler and
optician has recently installed an
up to date electrical apparatus for
testing the eye sight day or night:
It consists chiefly of a number and
variety of signs in degits Of various
sizes. These are shown electrically
by being cut on and off until one is
flashed that the PATENT can discern
distinctly at stated distance
through the lense being fitted. It is a
strictly scientific method of testing
the vision and is in general use by
opticians in the larger cities.
Mi. Baggett, has State diploma
as an optician and has been quite
successful in examining eyes and
fitting glass since taking the neces-
sary course of study, and he hopes,
by the installation of this new appa..
ratus to be much better prepared
for this line of work in future. He
does not claim to be an oculist, but
if your vision is defective he can fit
you with glasses as we'll as any
other optician.

Attention Merchants of kingstree

ACtentlOR McIAadntS VI hiuSSsE~C
The back lots to stores in Kings
tree have been reported to the Fire
Insurance Companies, by the State
Fire Inspector as being dangerous
fire trap and consequently your in
surance is nearly double what it
should be. 1t would be cheaper to
have your paper and trash cleaned
up entirely off your property and
goods than to have this trash accu-
mulate and cause you to pay more
insurance, and may be, not be able
to collect what insurance you carry
in case of a fire from your negli-
gence.
These are facts worth attending
to at once. The town cart has no
more right to go behind your store
than it has to clean up the back
yards of every negro in town. You
move your wood-boxes so why not
your paper.

U. s. GREAT OIL BURNER.
Has More Oil Burning Steamships
Than Any Other Nation.

The United States stands first to-
day in the development OF the oil burn
ing steamship. Figures made public by
the United States Shipping Board show
that the government has built, already.
79S,7S3 tons Of shipping using oil for
fuel and has under construction 1901
659 tons more. When the ship building
program Is completed there will be
1881 oil burners under the United
States flag. This year alone the United
States merchant marine will use 3D.
100000 barrels of oil, and with the in
crease in the type the consumption
may be expected TO mount steadily.
Some Of the advantages claimed for
oil-burping steamships are:
Oil requires less bunker space than
coal for a given steaming radius.
II can be carried between double
bottoms and in other places where
neither coal no cargo can be stored.
The space usually given to coal can
be occupied by freight paying cargo.
Bunkering can be effected with
greater dispatch and is not interfered
with by darkness or the state of the
weather.
II is not attended with the dirt and
other discomforts incident to coal
bunkering.
Labor and machinery are not requir-
ed for handling ashes.
Oil fuel eliminates stocking. thus re-
ducins the size Of the crew and labor
costs.
1t possesses greater thermal eff-
cheney than coal and reduces fuel costs.
Uniform steam pressure is easily
maintained, thus insuring steady
rate of speed and reducing the deter
ioration of furnaces and boilers result
ing from uneven temperatures.

Fl0uIIko rAG SENATE.

The Sioux City Journal thinks that
the average senator ought to get
tired OF hearing his own voice. That
Is cheap w!tticism at the expense OF
an integral part OF this government
Newspapers write ana print such
paragraphs FOR the smartness OF do
ing 1t. ana others read them and think
there Is something in them, some
thing in addition to mere flippancy.
AS a result OF such perverted educa-
tlon the labor party when It adopted
its first resolutions solemhly resolved
in favor OF aholishing the United
States senate, having OF course, no
idea what part OF our government
that body is. They do not know its
functions, It's purposes.
There Is no more reason for a SEN
ator growing tirS OF hearing his own
voice than there is for an editor read
ing his own words in the proof sheets
1t is bad public policy to print such
slurs about a part of our constituted
government. And the senate has done
nothing recently that should subject 1t
to such slurs. On the contrary, the
United States senate has been doing
many things that entitle 1t to the
praise OF all good American citizens.
Among other things 1t has stood for
the integrity of Amertca.--Cedar Rap

The criticism is justified 1t is not
only u cheap but stock w!ttlcism,
belonging with the mother-in-la law joke
and the slipstick in vaudeville.
The newspapers are all guilty or
have been guilty of perpetratIng such
paragraphs directed at congresses and
legislatures and senators and assem-
blymen. They have succeeded in bring
ing into the public mind ocular and
cheapenod estimation Of those bodies
and their membership. The criticism
applies to all OF us. The Journal SIM
ply happens to be the one standing
Up where the rest are sitting.
The senate Of the United States is
as capable a body as any OF It's kind
in the world. oS Is the United States

latures of the states are representa-
tive OF the ability and integrity OF
those who elect them. That is real

lincoin's Labor Views.

Abraham Lincoln. with the same
clearcut logic that untangled the knot
Of slavery from Its political entan-
clements. once made this prophetic
suggestion regarding the necessary
attitude of all laborers:
The strongest bond OF human sym
patty. outside the family relation
should be one uniting all working peo-
pie. Of all nations and tongues and kin
6reds. Nor should this lead to a war
on property. or the owners Of property.
Property Is the fruit Of labor: prop
erty is desira BILE; 1t IS positive good In
the world. That some should be rich
shows that others may become rich.
and hence Is Just encouragement to
industry amp enterprise. Let not him

The BITTER SHAM: or IT.

Relating the closing of eleven
notorious houses" for a year and
conflscation OF furniture by action
taken under the red light law by the
Anti Saloon league the Sioux City
Journal recalls shocking incidents con-
nccted with this half block occupied
by negro places of shame. Among the
shameful and regrettable incidents
Some Of the most prominent men in
town including city officials have
been approached by tn sc wo-
men," 1t appears by the Journal story
that this outfit had supplied automobN-
es 10 haul booze into town and gensral-
ly assisted to make a real Lively city,
The place seems to have got by oil
right until the Anti saloon league
started something.
OF course the utter shamelessness Of
those women" in Approaching pro-
minent men" and especially city Of
ficials" is a shocking revelation. 1t is
easy to imagine the utter horror that
filed the breasts Of these prominent
and official gentlemen when the
coal black Phrynes approached" them.
Still it is not easy 70 understand why
this cesspool continued to flourish
until the Auti-Saloon league cleaned
1t out for bottlegging. It was notorious,
shameful, outrageous, known to all
who passed it and had it's bold nasti-
ness forced upon them. The red
light law has been many years in
force IN Iowa. Why. then has'ent those
prominent men" and city officials"
set about cleaning out this social pu-
trescence in the heart OF the city? Why
did they blush and bear the shame
and insult put upon them by the ZAP
proach" of those women?
OF course it is beyond all flight Of
suspicious imagination 10 conceive
that some prominent man or men drew
huge rentals for that half block of
piaSh lildI CITY OILIClGlS Ilhu what
seemed to them good and sufficient
reasons to let the vile industry and
its brazen operators run on. Rather
let US assume that the Cosson laws
were unknown to prominence and Of
flcialism there and that q shrinking
modesty !mpelled them to avoid pub
lefty in connection with such base
ness.
But isn't It shame and a disgrace
when prominent" persons and "city
officials" are thus embarrassed? 1t
doesn't matter so much about the de-
cent men and women who have
passed that place with down
cast eyes and red faces since
| George Cosson conceived and the
legislature passed the red light law.
They're Just the common people who
pay city officials and act as the back
| ground to prominence"
