SENECA'S NEWS LETTER. Krsiilts In Track Meet--^Several Killed Out-Local items. Seneca, April 16.-Special: Rus kin Anderson ls packing his large stock of merchandise preparatory to moving his business to Anderson. Mr. Anderson has been for ten years, or longer, prominently ldeutlfled with business circles here, and his departuro will be felt, as Seneca can ill afford the loss of such business men. His large department store has been one of the most attractive establishments in the place, and Its removal will be felt, in tho business life of the town. Mr. Andorson ls a hustling business man, and wo wish him success in his removal to the Electric City. Seneca High School was well rep resented at tho track meet and ora torical contest In Greenville Satur day. On account of Hie enforcement of the agc limit, two of Seneca's team were barred, but we are proud of the record made. Wilkes Dendy, the contestant from Seneca for the Piedmont oratorical medal, won eas ily and Seneca has also tho cup for the next year. The public is already familiar with the details of tho meet, so we will only add tho following, clipped from the Greenville Daily News: Points.

The crowd was the largest ever at tending a track meet lu this city, and tho rooting was exceptionally fine. All schools generously cheered tho winner of each event, while many banners were waved wildly to the hard striving contestants. Plowden and Black, of tho Cen tral High School, and Strlbllng, of Seneca, were the bright particular stars, each man registering a num ber of points for his team. A misunderstanding in the Oval heat of tho 100-yard dash caused some confusion, but after two heats had been run DeLorme, of Furman Fitting School, winning the first, and Black, of Central High School, win ning the second, both making the distance in the same timo of ll sec onds, lt was finally decided to divide .first placo and give each man a medal.

The farmers are doing a lot of gar dening as well as farming as the pretty weather conies along. lt Looks Like a Crime to separate a boy from a box of Bucklen's Arnica Salve. His pim ples, boils, scratches, knocks, sprains and bruises demand ll, and it's quick relief for burns, scalds, or cuts is lils right. Keep it handy for boys, also girls. Heals everything benbillie and does it quickly, Unequaled for piles. Only 2.r>o. at all druggists. wo would suggest that it is high Hmo something is doing. If you have not counted tho number of each, take time to do so and witness the astounding result. We have been asked why lt is that tho young (?) correspondent from Richland to tho Farm and Factory repeatedly uses tho expression In connection with their school and track work that they aro "backed hy tho good peoplo of Richland." This is a little singular in that lt leaves the public under tho impression that. lt bad not always been so, and thus does that good peoplo a grave in justice. There aro some things which are always taken for granted, and this is ono of them. Wo would as soon think of saying any religious movement by our church peoplo was "backed by tho good peoplo of tho town ! " Puts End to Had Habit. Things never look bright to ono With "tho blues." Ten to ono tho trouble is a sluggish liver, filling the system with bilious poison, that Dr. King's New Lifo Pills would expel Try them. Let tho Joy of botter feelings end "the blues," Best for stomach, liver and kidneys. 2 5c. at all druggists RICHLAND COPS SECOND PLACE. Community Prpud of Attainment* of School in Contest at Greenville. Richland, April 15.-Spooial: The past week has been a very busy one in this community. A. L. Oossett, editor of the Tu galoo Tribune, waa In town several hours Friday on business. Miss Tonie Rampley, of Carnes ville, Ga., spent several days last week at the homo of T. B. Wyly. The following officers have beer unanimously electod at the Presby terian Sunday school to servo the coming year: W. H. Hughs was iv? elected Fuperintondent; W. D. Wright, assltsant; Stiles Strlbling secretary and treasurer; Homer Bal lenger, and Robert Davis, assistants It was announced yesterday that there would be a congregational meeting at Richland church next 1 Sunday Immediately after services, which will be conducted by Dr. J. G. Law, of Walhalla. Tho purpose ol this meeting will he to make a for mal call to Mr. Vaughn to become our pastor as soon as he finishes at the semin a ry. 'Twixt tlio watchful, critical and motherly care and correction of the I Seneca correspondent, and tho fa- ? therly, wiso and conservative admo- ! nitlons and warnings of the West minster correspondent wo feel that we can't go very far astray, but, like a "heady" and wilful son, wo will "apeak out in mcottu'." Wo submit that the head man in tho hurdlo race at Seneca could not be a competent witness as to distance, for ho was ahead. Since he was pushed so close that he had no time to look back, we accept the cyclone theory. No doubt he felt like two cyclones were be hind him. The audionco and judges could tell better. To the Westminster correspondent we wish to say that we made no comment on the railroad employee's worthy motives in trying to get an education, or the splendid work and motives and success of the Westmin ster High School. It was tho age and physical development we "slapped" at. This point was beautifully dodged In tho "fatherly admoni tions." In defense of our point and the editor of The Courier we will give one Illustration of almost dou ble age and size: In one of the races at Seneca wo saw a "bearded man," past 24 years of age, and not weighing less than tfiO pounds-one of the best muscled men in Oconeo-? running against ono of our Richland boys, 1 5 years old and weighing only 9 0 pounds. This is an extreme ex ample, but a true one, and ap proaches very closely, In fact corrob orates, our statement and Tho Cou rier's too. However, the matter Is settled and tho age limit will be put in, and, as we had nothing to do with tho settlement, we have no other comment. Tho Richland school was proud to take second place In the track meet of the Piedmont Oratorical and Ath letic Association. Our . speaker, Stiles Strlbling. ?cored high In tho eon tent, and 'oaf track t?/?lV? | tjoeoud place lu tho track infiel o, M sty other big affd well eipWoped | ! Utgh .chert'!, .luf" think i>t' H'.

Our older and much larger sister, Seneca High School, was right at our heels, pushing us, only a "hair's breadth" (maybe this word will fit) between. We had that cyclone sen sation and felt their breath. We did not look back to measure distance. Glad to give them third place. Among those who attended the contest and meet in Greenville wero Misses Mamyc Cromer, Annie McMa han, Carrie McMahan, Moth Coe, Fredda Hughs, Belle Strlbling, Mrs. Lucy Burris; Messrs. J. P. Strlbling, M. G. Barnett, Robt. Davis, Wilkin son Hughs, Roger Coe, Stiles Strlb ling, William Davis, J. M. Hughs, T. H. Hughs. The track team boys were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Jordan.
