bonds for the erection of the new
school building, and told of the ad-
vantages he hoped would accrue to
the community with its completion
and occupancy. An interesting an
nouncement made by Prof. McMath
was that Cato Wilson, Leslie school
boy, had been awarded the gold medal
offered by Americas chapter, No. SO,
United Daughters of the Confederacv,
for the best essay on Confederate
history written by a rural school stu
dent in Sumter county. The medal,
he stated, although ordered some time
ago, had not yet arrived, and there
fore could not be presented young
Wilson, fact which he greatly re-
GREETED. At the suggestion of Prof.
McMath, the young student defined
his thesis, briefly, before the audience.
]. E. D. Shipp, of Americas, was
then introduced. and he delivered the
principal address. His talk, although
principally along literary lines, was
not entirely devoid of practical allu-
sions, and some of his thoughts were
driven home both the members of
the graduating class and the others
present, by the force of his powerful
logic. At the conclusion of his talk,
Col. Shipp delivered the diplomas to
the graduates, after which the exer-
cises closed.

fining his remarks entirely to the
progress attained by the schools, the
hope of the board that this work
may be extended and enlarged with
the completion of the new school
structure, and felicitating the mem
bers of the school faculty and the
graduating class upon their years
work. DR.. Hawkins announced that
work on the new school building has
been commenced, and that barring
transportation difficulties. the build

for occupancy in August. Nothing is
to be allowed to interfere with the
beginning of the next school session
there, however, and the trustees have

My first sleep in 8 months was on the

acn trouble and constipation for years

to me, and I want everyone to know
about a medicine that will cure cases like

II You Need a Medicine
You Should IlaVe the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says 'Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has 30 large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
60 many people claim, that It fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; ~corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp.Root by Parcels Post. Address

Tears.

She was crying unrestrainedly. Not
a sound came from the pretty trem-
bling lips, but the great tears rolled
down her cheeks.
The man seemed to enjoy the sight.
A sarcastic smile played about his
cruel mouth as he watched her; in
deed, he looked as If he could never
have smiled any other kind.
The girls beautiful eyes looked up
~pleadingly to his. His tongue seemed
to lash her like a whip as a torrent
of words came kissing from his mouth.
Then she crumpled up and gave way
entirely to her grief.
"Fine, fine! !" the man cried to her.

Spread of COBRA Industry.

Prior to the late eighties, the vast
groves of the coconut palm In the
Philippines were not utilized in a COM
mercial sense, but about that time a
British firm in Manila brought over
samples of dried copra from Singa-
pore and the people Of Manila and
Cebu were shown the process of con-
verting the fresh %coconuts into copra.
From that time the making of copra
spread rapidly in the islands. but due
to a lack of proper organization and
supervision, the product did not meas
ure up to the standard of other dis
tricts and the Philippine goods were
net considered as good as that pro-
duced in other districts. By 1905 the
Philippines produced II per cent of
the copra in the worlds market, and
by 1911 the islands yielded approx
mately One-third Of the worlds sup
ply. Since that time the industry has
grown by leaps and bounds, and from
one mill in 1918 there developed in
1918 over thirty of them, with a daily
capacity of 1900 tons of coconut oil, or
an annual consumption of over 100000
tons of copra, if run to full capacity.
The exports of coconut products
from the Philippines are in the form
of oil pressed from the fresh coconuts
and shipped in barrels or tank steam
ers, or "copra" or the dried coconut
meat, from which the oil can SUISSE
Quently be extracted.

ROMANCE BECKONS TO ALL
According to Theatrical Star, Men and
Women Never Really Forego
Their Childhood Dreams.

"We are all more or less only grown
up boys or girls" Mr.. Ditrichstein
said in an Interview given recently to
a New York; Evening Sun reporter.
"The less grown up we are the more
we enjoy life and the thrill of living.
1t is this joy of human experience
which makes the stage possible and
which particularly aids the actor Of
melodrama.
"The life Of the rowing b%uccaneer of
adventure or the suave cavalier with
his romantic conquests is denied to
most of u.s." MI. Ditrichstein said al
most sadly, "but there lives in US all
the desire to do the rash, impossible
and delightful things Of u great he
roes of fiction. The wisened, colorless
little mar you see on the commuters
train, who tolls by day over his prosaic
books and figures, possibly may be a
d'Artagnan or a Don Quixote within
the infinite realm of his nocturnal
imagination. The shop girl during
the daylight hours may be the rein
carnatiOn Of Cleopatra or Helen of
Troy over a library book during the
evening. She may practice before her
mirror the walk and manner Of a Eu-
ropean queen and, in extreme cases,
where the imagination buoys hope to
the highest point, e go so far as
to think of herself as a queen of the
movies.
ut is not too much to say" Mr.. Dit
richstein said, with a sly twinkle of
his ~buccaneering eye, that ever the
famous tired business man is occa-
sionally subject to hope that there
is something in life more romantic and
exciting than the cutting of coupons
and worry over the high cost of ste
nographers and other business COM
modities."
Disciples Of "the good old days.
when men and wine ran free; when
dashing cavaliers plunged through the
guardian moat to the castle walls and
carried the lady of their hearts de-
sire away through the moonlit lanes
of the whispering forests and matched
their lances against the bravest men
OF the enemy forces simply for the joy
of a gallant fight or to avenge a lady's
honor-of such, according to the mel
dramatic star, is the kingdom of the
orchestra and the gallery wherever
melodrama is produced.

Many Useful Marine Plants.

The useful marine plants are stated
by a French report to be varecs, al
gaze, brown algae, and Laminaria. Va
recs OF Zostera supply wrappers, pa
pers and cellulose, and iodine is
chiefly extracted from the algae. Eu-
ropean countries-France, Great Brit
ain and Norway-collect about 100000
tons Of green weed annually, an
amount that could be increased from
the new discoveries continually being
made. The 100000 tons of weed yield
about 175 tons Of iodine, 10000 tons
of potassium salts, 5000 tons of crude
sea salt, and 1000 tons of lye; but sug-
gestions have been made for increas-
ing the amount Of iodine and potash
