HOW "LANCASTEK LEADS."
MImh Monica Curnes of High School
Dfwrllics Spirit of Our Town.
The following verse, composed by
a bright young l^ancaater high school
student. Miss Monica Lethy Carnes, is
written in good boosting vein, so
characteristic of Lancaster and so
praiseworthy. The young lady has
caught the spirit of progress, which
is making Lancaster lead in so many
different ways. The verse is as follows:
Lancaster people are in it from heol
to head,
For tho people surrounding have
known for years we have led.
Lancaster is first in its people and
t!vn In its health
Also in its honor and then in its
wealth,
As well as in paved street* lighted
so well;
Wh< re Lancaster will end no cue
can tell.
Lancaster is famous for her dry goods
and grocieries -o swell,
Fo- its dentists and physicians who
t ^ attend the unwell,
4,Ato%a.lk of our cotton mill is in every
mouth,
As you well know wo have the largest
in the South,
The Lancaster graded school is not in
need,
For the best superintendent, we're in
the lead,
The football boys of Lancaster can't
UU Ut'81,
Because they have courage and keep
well on their feet.
The basketball isn't in the ground,
For a better referee cannot be found,
The secretary of the Chamber of Commerce
has done more for our
town,
And has shown the people what Lancaster
can do when she's nut
bound.
The editor of The News is the odly
lady editor in the state,
Sho does not sit by idly and let the
news wait.
1 think we should boost Lancaster in
this way,
Hurrah for Lancaster, hip, hip,
hurray.

It is Hosieth'ng Fine.

.1. MONTGOMERY C.'SKKY DEAD.
Bussed Ahiiv at His Home in Pleasant
Hill.
One by one the men who fought
under Dee and Jackson for Southern
rights are passing to the other shore.
Mr. J. Montgomery Caskey has answered
to the last roll call. lie
gently passed away at B: 4 f? o'clock
yesterday afternoon at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Furman Maaill. at
Pleasant Hill in the seventy-liftl!
year of his age. He was the son of
the late James C. Caskey and his
wife, Elizabeth (Montgomery) Caskey,
and was born just three miles
east of the town of Lancaster. His
whole life was spent on the farm in
tins county except the four years of
the War Between the States, in which
he was an active participant. At the
breaking out of the war he volunteered
in the Lancaster Grays, commanded
by Capt. John D. Wylie, the
first company to go to the front from
the county. Later on he became a
part of the 6th Regiment South Carolina
Volunteers, commanded by Col.
John White, serving with conspicuous
gallantry until the close of the
war. He took an active part in the
redemption of the state from negro
rule. Mr. Caskey served several
terms as county coroner and was a
delegate to several congressional conventions
Mr. Caskey was a quiet, unassuming
man, but one who could be depended
upon to do his duty at all
hazards. Shortly after the war he
became a member of the A. R. P.
church and continued so until his
death. He was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Sallie Jones, who
lived about one year. He was again
married to Miss Elizabeth Marshall,
who survives him with an only child,
Mrs. Furman Magill. He is also survived
by threo brothers, Messrs.
Wylie Q. Caskey, J. Davis Caskey of
this county, and Mr. Thomas H.
Caskey of Georgia, and two sisters,
Miss Jane Caskey, of the county, and
Mrs. Clementine Stover of Georgia.

MR. O. P. HEATH Ihl,.
Suffered Sudden Attack Wednesday
Afternoon.
The many Lancaster friends as
well as the relatives of Mr. O. P.
Heath, will regret to learn of his illness
at his home in Charlotte and
hope that the improvement in his
condition will continue until he is
himself again. We clip the following
concerning his illness from The
Charlotte Observer of yesterday.
"Mr. O. P. Heath was taken suddenly
and seriously ill yesterday
afternoon at his home on Haldwln
avenue, but later rallied and was
last night prouounced by the attending
physicians as out of Immed ate
danger. The sudden attack came
about 6 o'clock and for two hours Mr.
Heath was critically 111. Shortly after
7 o'clock, a dectded change for
the better was noted and Improvement
continued steadily throughout
the evening. Doctors at the bedside
of the sufferer ware somewhat puszled
as to the origin of the attack,
which is thought to have come from
violent stomach trouble. Mr. Heath
suffered an attack some 12 months
aog which confined h'm to his home
for some time anu from whose effects
he had never completely reoovered.*'

S|ilen?lid exhibits Are Viewed l?y Appreciative
Crowds.
Wednesday, the tirst day of the
fair, was partly given over to the arrangement
of exhibits of all kinds
and by Wednesday night hundreds oT
people were on the grounds, visiting
ihe exhibition tents and mingling
with the crowds on the midway. All
day yesterday the people continued
to come and every comer seemed
pleased with the fair. Last night the
crowds were even larger and a happier,
soberer crowd cannot be imagined.
Hut today the climax will Dj
reached. We cannot in this issue
cover the fair for we want to give
our readers a more detailed description
than can be published today As
we have explained elsewhere the office
force is to be given a half holiday,
during wljich we will try to see everything
and tell you about it next week.
Hundreds of school children will be
given free admittance to the fair today.
They, as well as many older
ones, are arriving on regular and
special trains, by buggies, wagons
and automobiles. More people are
in town at 10 o'clock this morning
than we have ever before seen here
so early i nthe day anil the special
from Camden, Kershaw, Death
Springs and points south, is yet to
come.
The parade of school children will
be the feature of the day, "School
Day" is bound to be a big success.
The exhibits, which are all moat
creditable, consist of fine arts, domestic
arts, needlework, poultry,
farm and garden products, live stock,
the finest breeds of hogs, cows,
horses, sheen. etc Rut Uma quS
space forbid a longer description.
Come and see It all.
Proud of I>anca*tor.
Among the out of town visitors to
the fair is Mr. R. L. Home, of Chester,
a former resident of the TradeBville
section of this county. Mr.
Horne moved away from Lancaster
county In 1867 and his last visit here
was about six years ago. He a?ys
it is hard to realize that Lancaster
is the same town it was six years ago.
We explained the improvements by
telling him that the people pulled together,
"That is it" said he. "You
put your heads together and made
things turn. Go ahead, T am prout)
of new Lancaster."
Death of Mrs. J. C. Reeves.
Mrs. Susanna Reaves, wife of J. C.
Reffeves, died at their home in thi
Fork Hill section on last Thursday1,
aged 68 years, and was burled at
