SHORT LOCAL NEWS 1 ? OF GENERAL INTEREST; RECENT HAPPENINGS IN] CITY AND COUNTY. Doings of People in Which All Sections of Lancaster County Are Interested. ] SeveraJ Lancaster people made] automobile trips to Columbia Sunday and they report that the roads are in good shape. Those returning Sunday evening said that it was easily possible to maintain an average speed of 30 miles per hour between Lancaster and Columbia.. i nave made a trip via automobile to Heath Springs many times in my life but I never saw the road in sueh splendid shape before." declared a Lancaster citizen yesterday. The gentleman made the trip Sunday and he says that the highway is in fine shape all the way and that it is a genuine pleasure to motor over it. Merchants report that Saturday was a splendid business day in Lancaster. The political speaking had attracted a number of country people to the city for the day and they bought freely at many of the local stores. Local merchants believe that trade conditions will steadily improve from now until summer arrives. Beech Camp No. 376, Woodmen of the World, conducted interesting and Impressive exercises at West Sidi cemetery Sunday afternoon when a monument was unveiled to a deceased Sovereign. H. Frank Bell. A throng of people gathered for the exercises and the Woodmen ritual made an impression on those present who are not members of the order. The mock marriage conducted at the Mackey Opera House Friday * evening under the auspices of the la/dies of the Methodist church occasioned much merriment and the audience passed a delightful two hours. Tho undertaking was also a Bplendid success from a financial standpoint and a neat sum was realized for i church purposes. The theatre was well filled. Plans are on foot in Lancaster for forming ^ party to visit Washington on March 5 for the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson as President of the United States. Washington is a mecoa for tourists and the additonal attraction of the inauguration will serve to draw many visitors from all over the nation. It is possible that suflieient Lancaster people may decide to make the trip to warrant reserving an entire Pullman car for the local delegation. Those who attended the meeting of ministers and deacons of Bethel Presbytery, held in York last week, say that the meeting was a zealous one and well attended. John B. Barron of Rock Hill was elected president of the association and it was decided that the next meeting will be held In the "Good Town" the exact date to be announced later. The association hopes to have not less than 100 deacons in attendance at the next meeting. The electric current, with whic> the Lancaster Cotton Mill village is to be lighted, was turned on for the first time Saturday evening. The) people of the mill community hailea the innovation with delight and the> say that they are much pleased over the great improvement. In addt-j tlon to the electric lights, the mini village is now supplied with running water and the mill people regard thisj as being ar even greater improve , ment than the lights. Officials of Lancaster Sunday Schools of all denominations report that "Come to Sunday School Sunday" as observed In Lancaster last Sunday was a remarkable success in every sense of the word. The Sunday school rooms at nil the churches were crowded and reports of superintendents indicate that there was an increase over the normal average attendance of not less than fifty per cent. In addition, the collections at | a majority of the Sunday schools ln-| creased fully fifty per cent. Great disappointment wus occasioned In Lancaster Sunday morning when Ex-Governor Patterson of Tennessee, who was scheduled to speak at tho Lancaster Methodist church, failed to arrive. All other churches of the city had cancelled their service for the morning hour in order that their members might join in the service. Gov. Patterson is speaking in South Carolina in tho anti-saloon league cause and his appearance here had been eagerly anticipated. No explanation of why he filled to ar-| rive has yet been made. k i T j Mrs. J. D. Funderburk left Sunday for Chester to be with her husband,1 who underwent an operation for ap- ^ pendlcitis at the Pryor hospital on' Monday.

Robinson, manager of the Robinson-Cloud Company, declared thai ' he was much pleased over the fact 1 that he bought heavily eight months ago in the line of staple piece goods (; and he therefore expects his business t( during the present year in that line to be unusually good. n Mfes Flora Robinson, who.

I. r Lancaster people learned with in-1 terest yesterday that W. It. Bradford) of York, who has been a candidate|' for the unexpired term to congress;^ from the Fifth Congressional district, * has withdrawn from the race. Mr. Bradford had already filed his pledge. t but said, after ascertaining that the j. short term member would sit In con- jj gress only two days, that "the gamn ( isn't worth the candle." This leaves ^ three candidates in the race. I. C. Hough of Camden. J. W. Hamel of Kershaw and Paul G. McCorkle of York. I It People of this city and county learned Sunday wtth deep regret of the death of Dr. J. E. VV. Hatle, which took place at his home in Hoc* Hill Sunday morning at an early hour. Dr. llaile had not been well for some days, but his condition was not regarded as serious and his rein- j | Iives and friends wore therefore to- i tally unprepared for the sad intelll- ] genre tha- he was dead. Dr. Halle 1 made his hon.a in Kershaw for a , number of years and he had many friends and acquaintances in a., parts of Lancaster county. There appears to he some confusion in the minds of a few people; about the exact date for the first and second primary elections to choose a 'congressman from this district. The| first primary will be held next Frl-1 day, Febuary 16. at which time the I voter will cast a ballot for the man :to fill the unexpired term and one to * (111 the full term. The next election j( will be held on Wednesday. February c 21 and on that date the iwo highesr C men in each race will be ballotteo * for. The second election is a second j primary and a general election com bined. The successful candidate for. I( the unexpired term will serve until March 6 and on that date the successful candidate for the full tern, 'will take the oath of office. y \\\> 1,AN0AST1SK NKWS'IT I.
