I Cades, July 1:?Saturday was 1 indeed a banner day for the 1 hustling little city of Cades and 1 -crowds of people from every direction both near and far J came to town to join in the fes-1 t tivities of the auspicious occa- ' sion. The day will long be re- ^ membered by one and all as 1 I among the happiest ones of 1 " their existence. There was not a single incident to mar the , pleasures of the day. The occasion was a celebration of Children's day by the Baptist and Methodist Sunday schools of this city. Aside ' j from several interesting- recitations very prettily rendered by r different sweet little children and appropriate songs by the splendid choir the programme 1 of the day was as follows: ^ Address on Prohibition, by Kev S J Bethea, of Lake City. < Address on Education, by 1 tlev L N Chappell,of Lake City, i Both addresses were able, interesting and instructive, each 1 teeming with much valuable information and instructive ad- T vice along the lines of the difs.\ ferent subjects, and the undi- ( vided attention of the large au- . , 1 dience present indicated clearly that the lucent discourses were being well received and \ i rarefullv and seriouslv consid- 1 r ered by all present. The next number on the pro-11 gramme "was the dinner, and;1 quite an important number it < proved to be. The good ladies 1 had prepared an elaborate spread of everything imagina- i ble in the way of delicious, < toothsome viands that would i tempt any inner man?or wo- < man either. Not being satistied with the extravagant array . of good things to eat, they had added all kinds of lucious friuts ( A 1- ^ ' ana juicy waiermeiuu& iu tuc bountiful bill of fare.

BIG CROWDS AT CARNIVAL-TOBACCO SEASON ON?CANNERIES IN FULL BUST-MAN BADLY HURT. Lake City, July 1.?Mr D M Epps and family leave Thursday for Sullivan's Island for a month's outing. The old soldiers of this section will have their annual reunion and picnic at McAlister's Mill next Saturday, July 4th. All hope that the veterans will have a very merry day. Miss Annie Sutcliffe has gone to Charleston on a visit. Cotton bolls were seen in Mr II E Godwin's held on the 13th instant, so says Mr W J Cockfield. A solid car load of tin cans for the canneries was received last week. It is estimated that thirty thousand three-pound cans will be used this season. This means two-thousand and five hundred dozen cans of tomatoes, beans, okra, etc., and then too there are thousands of jars and tumblers of preserves jellies and jams being put up for market and home consumption. The canneries have no trouble to sell their products to the merchants by wholesale Thus our people are learning to turn the waste products into money, which is one of the surest roads to success. Money made in this way is like finding it. Tobacco is coming in every day now and the scenes around the warehouses are beginning" | to take on air of hustling activity. The crops are very fine and are ripening nicely. Indications are that it will be one of the best, both in quanity and quality, in the history of the culture of the weed in this sec! tion. This market will handle ! about three million pounds, possibly more. This will be | equal in value to about six thousand bales of cotton at ten ! cents per pound, j Mr Lee Fitzhugh and Mr | Fitchett and two sisters of salem ; spent several days in town last week. Mr L' L uarter, ot ttmngnam, was here Monday on business. Nobody went away from here last week but lots of people j came.

They came from all directions and some from considerable distances. High spirited, good-natured throngs out for a jolly time and they had it, too. Never before has this town, heard and witnessed such laughter, such good cheer such rollicking fun. It does people worlds of good to lay aside corking care now and then and laugh and play and forget tomorrow and be glad to day. See there! we dropped into rhyme. Couldn't help it. In the air, don't you see? "Jimmie, is yer wid me?" "Yes?I?is."Well, , Johnny Jones got some money. Yes, and we, all of us got some fun too; and after all fun is just as current as money in the land of "pretty soon." .3 Mr T L P.ass, who is a drummer for the Burlington Coffin Co, of BurliDgton, N C, came near getting killed here last Monday, in alighting from a moving train. Mr Bass, whose home is at Sandford, N C, went to Kings tree that morning on train No. 5". In passing Lake City he handed out his baggage to Mr J M Sturgeon,saying that he would return on the twelve o'clock train. When this train, the twelve o'clock train, stopped at the station Mr Bass did not get off, but after it moved off and was just below the Main street crossing and running something like fifteen miles an hour, he was seen to rush to the car door, run jut and down the steps and swing off to alight. He in some way lost his footing and was hurled with terrific force to the ground flat on his face. Mr Sturgeon and some others took him up and carried him to the Sturgeon Hotel and summoned Dr A H Williams, who afterwards called in Dr JB DuRant. His head and face were badly cut and bruised. One eye was hattprpd until it was a tprrihlp sight aiid the root of his nose was badly injured. He was in a dazed, simi unconscious condition and bis mind did not clear up fully until next morning. At first there was some fear of concussion of the brain, but at this writting, Tuesday afternoon, he is doing well. Every attention was rendered by Mr and Mrs Sturgeon and the physicians. His wife, who was notified immediately, arrived Tuesday morning and is now with him. Ee is of middle age and a large man?will weigh more than one hundred pounds, and (Continued on fifth page.)
