ginia Singleton, his wife. He was
reared in Kingstree and we'll known

his friends affectionately termed him
for short, and our Dr.. Brockington
became recognized in most any COM
pany of the elder citizens Of Williams
burg. He has spent his life among
them, as one of them.
Although it became known sever
a! days ago that Dr.. Brockington's
condition was critical, and that his

natural inclination for medicine and

DIV union was born one child, daugh-
ter. Mrs. Ada Brockington Gourdin'
wife of Mr.. P. G. Gourdin.
In late years DR.. Brockington had
about given up the active practice
OF medicine to devote his time to the
drug business he has conducted in
Kingstree for a number Of years IN
q building located on the site where
his fathers office once stood.
For some years past and until his
death, DR.. Brockington was the local
physician of the Atlantic Coast Rail-
road company.

Miss Djupe told of some of the work the Red Cross is doing and the program which it has now before it. The principal item of which Is the aim to get the young people to work for improved vigor and health by the observance of health giving rules and regulations.
 The program that followed this speech has been in process of per lection for some little time, under the direction of the teachers. The participants were chosen from the various rooms and all did their parts with exceptional skill and ease. Kenneth Blanchard played the part of king ard was seated on a dias with his heralds on either side.

ATTORNEY GENERALS THRUST
AT UNIONS

Following an injunction to stop six
leading labor unions from interfer-
ing with rail traffic, Doughtery, the
United States Attorney General, is
sued the following statement which
is destined to 90 down in history as
governmental policy.
There comes a time in the history
of all nations when people must be
advised whether they have a govern
ment, Or not. The underlying prin-
ciple involved in this action is the
survival and supremacy of the gov
ernment of the United States. No
union, or combination of unions can,
under our law, dictate to the Ameri-
can union. When the unions claim
the right to dictate to the government
and to the dominate American people
and deprive the people of the neces-
stiles of life, then the government
will destroy the unions, for the gov
ernment of the United States is su-
preme and must endure"
One thing certain, the unions have
been depriving people of the neces-
Sits of life, so if this statement is
to be enforced unionism will be rob
bed of it's power and will be destroy
ed. The power of unions depends
upon their ability to deprive others
of necessities of life and so force the
issue their way. When shorn OF
power, unions will go.
Two or three different parties OF
cross-tie and lumber men have been
in this section lately looking the
timber over with the view Of putting
in a tie camp and saw-mill.
Our land is becoming dry again
and we see but little bad effects OF
the recent heavy rains. The weather
since the rains has been very warn
and we feel somewhat uneasy about
those persons who are putting in ful
time for a days work, as therets con
siderable danger of such persons be-
coming over "het."
