On Monday a meeting of land own
ers in the Kingstree drainage district
was held at Moore's Cross Roads IN
the interest of the swamp drainage
proposition which has been a queS-
ton of much consideration. 1t appears
from what we can learn of the meet
ing, difnite steps were taken IN the
right direction. Engineer P. G. Gour-
din was engaged to make survey
of the district along with an estimate
of the cost of the proposed drainage
canal, this report to be submitted
bv December 25. The district embraces
about 10000 acres of land including
the entire water shed OF the hlngS-
tree swamp. Mr.. Gourdin is already
at work on the great project.
Finding it impossible to buy pork
hogs in Williamsburg county at nc
the pound on foot H. A. Miller who
conducts meat market here, was
compelled to 60 elsewhere to get hogs
to supply his business. He went 10
Richmond where he bought car
load of nice Virginia corn fed hogs
at 14s the pound. The shipment
reached Kingstree Tuesday and the
49,. ore ronorted as of excellent
quality, and in good condition. We
learn that our farmers want, and are
holding their marketable hogs Tor
Csc the pound and upward. Today
they are quoted on the chicago mar.
ket. the largest in the world, at l3.50
and 14.15 per hundred; and IN New
York at 1875 and 14.00. Why should
we expect double the market value!
Sheriff Wade, of Quitman, Ga, was
in Kingstree last week on otflclal
business, and left on train 80 Friday
night with his prisoner, John Peter
son. a negro, wanted in Georgia, 1t
is alleged, for forgery. Peterson is
native of this county but has lived
in the Cracker state for some years.
He is said to be an expert at forgery,
and his spurious checks are numerous.
The sheriff also Informed US that
Peterson had, upon leaving Georgia,
taken with him another mans wlfe
and children. Peterson was located
here through his correspondence
with friends in Georgia. He arrived
armed with requisition papers, and IN
company with Deputy Sheriff Cock
field went to the home OF Petersons
mother, near Cades and captured his
man. The penalty for forgery IN
Georgia is from eight to twenty
years.

ing will be announced later If 1t
hoped that every one who can posi-
blv do so will hear Miss Trax. What
ever NAV be our ideas of woman sut-
frage it is certain that most OF US
need more information than we have
had on the subject in order to be able
to decide intelligently what our
standing will be on this vital ques-
ton that is face to face with US at
this time.

MERELY RED CLOTH TO HIM
Fact That 1t Was Cut From Country's
Flag meant Nothing to Ger
man Merchant.

1t is a known fact that the average
German will forget religion, civil
laws. and even his patriotism, if they
interfere with his chances to drive
home good bargain. The latest dis
play of this tendency came during the
preparations for the victory ball, which
was given the Fourth of July in the
Enlisted Mems club at Andernach. AS
no Fourth Of July ball would be COM
plete without Uncle SAM" several
'Y" girls set out to pref are CO.'S

II came to purchasing the red cloth
for the stripes in the trousers, how
ever, it seemed that their plans had
gone amiss. Nowhere i'm Andernacli
could sufficient quantity of the right
colOred material be purchased. Final
ly one German merchane announced
that he had just what they wanted.
Out of u closet at the rear of his shop
he dug large German flag. Quickly
he cut all the red cloth from 1t, and
sold the material to the girls with the
air of one who had just accomplished
noble deed.-From the Watch on the

She Calls This Funny!

My funniest experience was last
year, about this time. We were trav-
cling by auto through the TOpango
pass in California. We had an expert
enced driver. and the roads were like
boulevards all through the mountains.
We were going about eighteen miles
per, when suddenly, for no apparent
reason, we swerved from the road
about four feet, and almost went into
canyon.
We all wondered why it happened.
and the driver could not account for
Ii himself.
When we got to town in about fiji
teen minutes we learned there had
been an earthquake. People were
thrown off their chairs, windows bro
ken, and other damage done. Then
we knew what hit us.-Chicago Trib-

Youths Beautiful Love.

The love Of youth is always fun Of
hope. 1t Is quite free from doubts and
fears. The young man and girl have
unbounded faith In love because they
have had no experience Of the hearts
instability. Neither women nor men
can love quite so wholeheartedly and
truly once their faith has been shaken.
For this reason the palm Of true loving
goes to youth, writes q correspondent
In the New Orleans Picayune. Older
folks sometimes love with more pas.
sion, but they are also more subtle.
They are much richer in exquisite ex-
preston OF their affection. but this
ability to stalk love" only comes from
practice. and is no proof Of sincerity.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
Who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
IN interview of the subject, made the as
.onishing statement that one reason why
o many applicants for insurance are re-
ected is because kidney trouble Is SO
omrnon to the American people, and the
arge majority of those whose applica-
ions are declined do not even suspect
hat they have the disease. 1t is on sale
