HEALTHFUL VIGOR
in STRONG BLOOD
RICH, RED BLOOD BUILT UP BY
PPEPTO-MANGAN-LlQUID
OR TABLET.

Blood is strong and full of life-giv-
ing vigor when there are plenty of
red cells in it. Anemic people have
little strength because there are not
enough red cells in the blood. 1t is
thin and watery. Weak blood makes
faces pale, pulls down the strength
and leaves the body tired, weak, and
Sickly.
A course in GUIDES Pepto-Mangan
restores weak blood to its normal
strength. Taken regularly for while
it adds red cells to the blood. Then
with good blood, the strength and
vigor of health return. There is
pleasure in living, with good blood
running through the veins. Guides
Pepts-Mangan is put up in liquid and
in tablet form. Physicians have pre-
scribed Gsde's Pelto-Mangan for
years. The name "Gude's Pepto-Man-
gan" is on the package.-Advertise-

A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
Kascha-Koo Draws a Crowded House
and Highly Pleases Everyone.

Katcha-Koo, the American-Oriental
musical comedy presented here last
Friday night under the auspices of
the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy by local talent under the able
direction of Miss Dagmar Carlson of
Fort Worth, Texas, was one of, If
not the most brilliant and highly en-
joyable entertainment ever staged In
Kingstree. 1t was splendid success
from every point of view and through
its production here Miss Carlson, of
far away Texas, has made many new
and lasting friendships. For two
weeks she was in intimate touch with
seventy-fve or a hundred of our cit
izens, representatives from nearly
every family in Kingstree, whom she
carefully and efficiently trained to
perform so creditably the roles as
scribed to them.
In praise of the performance too
much cannot be said but for lack of
space we are unable utterly, to give
a detailed account of its brilliancy
and the excellent manner in which
each of the performers did his or her
part.
The gross receipts from the pro-
duction amounted to something over
fwo hundred dollars.

to the capital stock who have not
paid anything on their obligation and
these delinquents must come across

ception, Mr.. W. H. Welch being elect

The ku kLux KHAN.

In the days following the War BE-
tween the States the white people of
The South were confronted by situa-
tion such as never before or since has
confronted civilized people. Their
government was In the hands OF a
triumphant enemy, actuated by a
fanatical hatred nursed through four
years of war. They were surrounded
by and intermingled with an alien
race but few years removed from
naked savagery and totally untitled
by nature and by education for the
responsibilities of citizenship. The
doctrine that was tuaght to the liber-
ated negro was not the doctrine OF
social equality, but doctrine Of the
mate superiority Of the African.
Who can blame the negro for learn.
| ing the lesson OF hate and OF lawless-
ness taught him by the INVADER What
did he know Of liberty or of license,
OF right or of wrong? What expert.
ence or knowledge of aptitude did he
have to fit him for self.government?
The negro was but an instrument in
the hands OF the carpetbagger to gra.
tify his hate OF the Southern white
man says the Savannah p .ress.
II was under these conditions that
the ku klux Khan was born. II was
organized TO regulate into semblance

had been breeder of outrage, even
II only of outrages that it Itself did
not commit. When the good men. in
1t were gone it became the refug9 of
the rowdy and the thug For a few
years it strung out an unworthy exist
ence. Finally it was suppressed.
What possible reason can there be
! for reyiving SO dangerous an institu-
ton now? We, the people of the eau
casian race, arp in control of cur
country. Now and then there is a
clash between the traces. Since the
reorganization of the Ku Klux Khan
Iinnumerable outrages have been com
mitted in it's name and under the pro-
lection of its uniform and it's paths
of secrecy. Leaders of the orderSsay
that it's members did not commit
these crimes. Perhaps not. But the
Ku Klux Khan is partly responsible
for many of them just the same. For
| 1t is the fact Of its existence, with the
ayowed purpose of administering JUS
tice or what they choose to consider
justice, secretly and ultra-legally, that
puts it in the power of any thug to
wreak vengeance on his private en-
envy and throw the blame on the or
der whose uniform he puts On for the
occasion
There is no need of Ku Klux Khan.
There Is no reason nor excuse for its
existence We do not doubt that
there are good Americans belonging
to the order. 1t claims to be organ
lied to protect womanhood, to insure,
white supremacy and to enforce law
and order" Beyond this it is said to
be fraternal and social organization
and 1t is announced that there are fif-
|ty working Klans in the state Of New
Jersey alone. But the adoption of
the name X. K. X. in the South is mis-
leading at this time and its assump-
ftion of the secrecy and methods of the
old order is distinctly unfortunate.

The front pages of newspapers
are filled with stories of such oc-
currences. The point has been
reached that whenever men of a
certsin class acquire grudge
they seem to think it necessary to
go out and shoot somebody up.
Slight pretexts are now being
used as excuses for shootings. In
fact, the excuses for shooting up

become about as filmsy as those
