THE MERCHANT OF
VENICE" COMING

Acclaimed by critics thruout the
country as theforemost Shakespearean
actor on the stage today, John II.
Kellerd, the eminent player who ap-
peared 102 times as Hamlet in New
York City; will be the attraction at
the Grand theater Thursday night, in
The Merchant of Venice" one of the
most popular of Shakespeare works.
In this play Kellerd plays "Shylock,
a role particularly suited to his ab1ity
as a tragedian, and giving him ample
opportunity to demonstrate the Prov
ess that has won him unstinted praise
in all of the larger cities of the coun-
try.
Supported by a large and capable
company of distinguished artists, the
visit of Mr.. Kellerd promises to be
one of the outstanding events of the
present theatrical season. 1t Is not
often that an actor of his high stand
ing consents to visit the smaller cities,
the students of Shakespeare and
lovers of the classic drama unfor-
tunately being too small to permit so
large a production to play in any but
the larger centers of population, owing
to the great cost entailed in making
tour of the smaller cities. How
ever, Kellerd yielded to the impor-
tunities of his managers, who con-
yinced him that 1t was his duty to
give as many playgoers as possible an
| opportunity to witness a performance
of the Bard of Avon's play.
Kellerd's work in the role of Shy
! lock has been compared to that OF
Henry Irving, several critics, among
them Amy Leslie, of the Chicago
Daily News. ranking him above Ed
win Booth and all other Shakespear-
can actors.
| other characters in the play have
| been allotted to a cast especially Sc
lected by KeIlerd himself. The prin-
cipal feminine role, that of Portia. is
| in the capable hands of Miss Fredda
Rriudley. one of the most brilliant OF
| the younger actresses now appearinG
in the legitimate. The scenic produc-
ton and costumes are unusually
elaborate and correct in historic de-
tail.

Boys Have Real Experience

Joe Vause, Bill Bryan, Mcbride Nc
Faddin, Zeno Montgomery and Jim
Kinds went to Manning last Friday
night to attend a dance. Returning t?
Kingstree during the wee small hours
of the morning, they discovered that
that their "fliver" failed to function
for lack of gas. Kinds, Montgomery
and McFaddin went in search of this
necessity, approached mans house
on the roadside, raped and received
no response, went to another house a
few hundred yards up the road, where
the usual hail was given. To their
surprise and chagrin they were met
by pack of dogs and voliey from i
shotgun. AS they passed the first
house in making their getaway, they
were again fired on. Being unable to
secure gas to make the return trip
on, the bunch made camp in the fliver
and waited for daylight to make fur
ther search for the necessary juice.
They reached Kingstree about 1000
a. m. the following morning.

THE BANK OF KiNGsrREE
Setting its House in Order for the
Coming of Greater Prosperity.

Coming of Greater Prosperity.
The Bank Of Kingstree has begun
installing its new furniture and fix
lures in the Nexson building on the
corner of Main and Academy street.
and expects to occupy its new quar-
ters March 1st. It's equipment will be
along the most modern lines in bank
ing houses, complete in all details,
serviceably arranged and appealing
ly handsome.
The Bank of Kingstreee is the old
est bank in Williamsburg county.
Twenty-oEe years ago it was organ
inzed with DR.. D. C.. Scott, Capt. J.
A. Kelly, R. H. Kellahan, R. D. Rol-
Inns, j. F. Cooper, and George w.
w. Williams, of Charleston, IS its
board of directors. Of these, DR..
Scott and Capt. Kelly have remained
on the directorate until today. Messrs.
Kellahan, Cooper and Rollins are dead.
This board of directors elected DR..
Scott the first president of the bank
which place he has held since it was
organized, and E. C. Bpps, now cash
ier of the Bank of Williamsburg as
its first cashier. Mr.. L. H. Fairey,
now president of a bank in Bishop
vile, succeeded Mr.. Epps as cashier
in 1906. In 1908, Mr.. F. w. Fairey
became cashier, which position he still
fills.
The Bank of Kingstree began busi-
ness with $4,000 capital stock. Three
years later, after paying 80 dividends
which it has paid every year since its
organization, it doubled its capital
stock from the surplus fund. About
five years later, it again doubled its
capital stock from its surplus, max
ing its capital stock as at present $780,
10000, and at the same time declar-
ed a special dividend of 1870 from the
surplus.
Many of the old friends and GUS
toners of this bank, when they come
into its new home after March first,
look over it's marble and mahogany
furnishing and inspect its strong
vaults and remember the first bank
ing house of the institution located in
a little wooden structure behind DR..
Scott's old drug store when borrow
ed pine tables and broken backed
chairs were all the furniture it had
except a discarded pine prescription
counter that was used for filing case.
Too, they will recall seeing Mr.. Epps,
cashier at that time, hunting in the
late afternoons some merchants iron
safe into which to keep the banks
cash during the night. Mr.. Epps now
admits that sometimes he found no
safe for the money but slept with it
until the rosy morn gladdened the
coming day.
DR.. Scott and Mr.. Epps tell some
good stories about those pioneer bank
ing days in Williamsburg county
Soon after the bank began business,
a negro with a $4,000 bill came into
the bank and saw some men indorsing
checks, and receiving money for them
over the counter. Mr.. Niger then
boldly marched up to the counter
wrote his name across the back of the
$40 bill and passed it over to be cash
cd. That endorsed $40 bill circulated
in Kingstree for several years.
The Bank of Kingstree' is getting
its house. in order for a bigger and
better prosperity than ever.
