LETTER FROM CEDAR SWAMP.
Crops Needing Rain?Personal
and Religions Mention.
Cedar Swamp, May 8: ? The
drought is still on in this section,and
the samecondition prevailselsewhere
with the exception of a few favored
places that we have heard from in
this county. The cotton fields present
a rather discouraging spectacle,
with single stalks of cotton here and
there, with gaps between and intermincrlpH
with a luxuriant growth of
. tender grass.apparently in command j
of the distressing situation. However,
the harrow and small sweeps
are being used while waiting on the
rain to come, and at the same time
farmers are hoping that the seed
planted may germinate and spring
up in a field free from grass. Very
few farmers have completed the arduous
task of transplanting their tobacco
crop, watering theyoungplants
by means of hand labor where the
transplanter is not accessible to the
small farmer. One of them has taken
the precaution to plant his tobacco
field to cotton, and if the rain comes
in time, he will set the same in tobacco.
If the "weed" lives, he will
hoe out the cotton, but if he fails on
the tobacco,he will cultivate the cotton.
The corn crops in this section
show good stands.clean and flourishing.
The oat crop is fairly good,
and as no nitrate of soda was used,
the harvest will be as good as was
expected.
The Brockington baseball team
played the local nine here Saturday.
Our boys, after bearing for a week
the marks of a decent whipping by
the "Nesmith lnvincibles," played
better ball and won the game from
Brockington.
A community prayer meeting will
be held at the Methodist church every
Wednesday in May at 8:30 p. m.
The same dates will be observed during
June at the Baptist church, and
thereafter the meetings will alternate
in like manner between these
churches. An invitation was extended
to Central Presbyterian church to
unite and have the meetings at the
three churches.
We are glad to note that Mr John
M Grayson is better, after a few
days' illness.
Mr Jack MeCulloueh is home from
a successful school term at Bryan.
The children of Cedar Swamp are
being prepared for the annual Children's
Day exercises and picnic to
take place in the near future.

RUNOUT OF TOWN.
Jut Punishment of Slanderer of
Confederate Veterans.
A committee of prominent Kingstree
citizens made it their business
last Friday afternoon to see that
Cris Johnson, an indiscreet young
yankee, shook the dirt of Kingstree
from his feet on account of a remark
he made here Wednesday
while the veterans of Williamsburg j
were enjoying their annual entertainment
by the United Daughters
of the Confederacy and attending
the meeting of Camp Pressley. During
the address of Prof Yates Snowden
of the University of South Carolina
at the opera house the old cannon
was fired at intervals on the
court house square and the young
man Johnson inquired what was the
cause. Upon being informed that
it was Memorial day and the can
non was being fired in honor of the
Confederate veterans, he remarked
that "the last d?d one of them
should be lined up and shot." The
remark was made at the dinner
table in the DuBose house and several
hearers remonstrated with the
indiscreet young man from Oklahoma,
but he showed no disposition
to retract the statement. Several
veterans and sons of veterans got
wind of the young man's remark
and constituted themselves a committee
to invite him out of town,
but from Wednesday until Friday he
could not be found, being in the
country delivering enlarged portraits
for a Chicago portrait company.
Friday afternoon Johnson
was located in the pool room here
and the committee called upon him.
It gave him 30 minutes in which to
leave town and they marched him to
the Atlantic Coast Line railroad
track and saw him beyond the corporate
limits of town heading for
Lanes, where he made sure that he

SAYS DAUGHTER S0U6HT
RELIEF FOR 18 YEARS.
All Medical Treatment Failed to 6ive Mrs
i Taylor's Daughter Ease.
THEN CHANGE CAME.
Mrs Taylor Says "All This Improvement
Vas Given by Three
Bottles ot Tanlac.
How her daughter had been under
medical treatment eighteen (18)
years without obtaining permanent
relief but growing steadily worse in
some respecte and how taking just
three bottles of Tanlac had relieved
her -suffering and had done wonderfule
work in restoring her daughter's
health, was explained by Mrs
W S Taylor, proprietress of the
Taylor House, at 1818 J Main St,
Columbia, S C, in one of the most
remarkable statements given the
Tanlac representative by any Columbian.
"Irthink the work of Tanlac is almost
a miracle, so great was the
relief it Gave my daughter," said
Mrs Taylor. "It is a wonderful
remedy. J never knew anything
like it," she added.
After stating that she could heartily
endorse Tanlac, Mrs Taylor said:
"My daughter suffered from a
nervous breakdown, it seemed, for
five (5) years. The doctors did not
know what was the matter with her.
She had no appetite, and could not
sleep. She had lost weight and
lacked energy. Her system was in
a terribly run down condition.
"She had been under medical
j treatment for eighteen (18) years?
since she was just a little girl. She
was always rather listless, and never
was strong and healthy like other
girls. Finally, her condition !>ecame
so bad that an operation was
thought necessary, and she underwent
the operation. She did not
show the improvement that was expected,
however. In fact, she did
not seem to receive any particular
permanent benefit from it.
"Like thousands of others, I suppose,
I lx>ught Tanlac l>ecause I had
read so many of the testimonials
telling of the great value it possesses.
It is just wonderful the way
Tanlac helped my daughter! Her
nerves were quieted by this remedy
in a really wonderful way. It gave
her a great appetite, an appetite
that was so good she would eat the
three regular meals each day and
then she would get something more

XO eax ax uigm ueiore sue rewreu.
She began to sleep like a child,
something she had not done in
many months, and, all this improvement
in her condition was
brought about by iust three bottles
of Tanlac.
"I recommend Tanlac because it
is a wonderful remedy. I never
knew of anything like it. I think
the work this medicine is doing is
miraculous. I have no objection to
your publishing this statement and
saying I sure do believe in Tanlac,
for I would like for everybody to
know of its value."

Leo. May 15:?When we awoke
this morning we beheld the most
pleasing sight that has greeted our
eyes in over a month. The rain was
falling in gentle showers. How
thankful we should be for this blessing.
Children's day exercises last Sunday
were the best ever held in Prospect
church. Everything was carried
out with clockwork nicety. To
Misses Bela and Freda Carter is due
great praise for the training of the
children. These young ladies are let
ting their light shine.
Hon J Davis Carter will attend the
Democratic State convention at Columbia
Wednesday.
Prayer services are held every Sunday
evening at Brown school house,
at Prospect church at 4 p. m. and at
Little Star church at 8 p. m. We
hope much good will result therefrom.
Mr E F Prosser and family of
Johnsonville attended Children's day
exercises at Prospect Sunday.

FOR A "FLYLESS K1NGSTREE." I
Highly Commendable Move by
Civic League.
Considerable interest, especially
among the children, is being manifested
in the "Fly Campaign" which
was inaugurated by the Civic league
at its last meeting. "A Flyless
Kingstree" is their slogan and should
be the slogan of every citizen of our
town. To keep up the interest
among Che children prizes nave
been offered far the month of May.
There are fourteen prizes ranging
in value from two dollars to fifty
cents, as follows.
Prizes for greatest number of flies:
1st $2.00
2nd 2.00
3rd 1.75
4 th 1.75
5th 1.50
6th 1.50
7th 1.25
8th 1.25
9th 1.00
10th 1.00
11th 75
12th 75
13th 50
14th 50
Every child who enters is paid ten
cents for the first two hundred flies
he or she brings in and every child
who does not win a prize will be
paid ten cents at the end of the
month, provided he or she brings in
at least one pint of flies. After the
first two hundred flies are brought!
in the children are requested to;
bring flies only on Wednesday and [
Saturday of each week between the
hours of three and four o'clock p.
m. They must not bring less than:
half a pint,as the flies are measured
instead of counted after the first
two hundred. Miss Edwards will!
be glad to give to anyone who is in- j
terested a plan for a fly trap. It is!
hoped that the whole town will co-;
operate in destroying the breeding j
places of flies. It is the wish of the
league to continue this work through
the summer months, but unless the '
! contributors are more numerous
than they have been thus far, this j
will be impossible. So far the committee
has had contributed the sum
of sixteen dollars and fifty cents. In
an enterprise which is for your good
as well as for the good of your
neighbor it should be a pleasure as
well a privilege to contribute there- j
to. During the month of May the
children of Kingstree proper may
bring their flies to Mrs T E Arrowsmith,
the children of "New Town"
may bring theirs to Mrs J W Swittenberg
and the children of "Nel-:
son's Annex" may bring theirs to
Mrs B E Clarkson. The prizes will!
be awarded the first day of June.j
Separate prizes will be awarded to
the colored children of the town.
