Caskey died at the home of 1 his parents at Elgin last Saturday ;1 morning, following a very short ill- j ness. The funeral service and Interment took place at (Elgin Sunday. 1 Friends of Rev. and Mrs. H.

A small admission will be charged at Hie door, which sum will go to the School Improvement Asso- | ciation. I' Great crowds thronged the Star^ Theatre yesterday and today to wit- 1 ness "Civilization," pronounced to 11 be one of the best motion pictures]) exer exhibited in I^ancaster. Those ; who have seen the picture say that < it was well worth the additional price ] charged by Manager Parr. Theatre < patrons consider that I^ancaster was fortunate in being to secure the at- 1 traction. Confederate veterans of I>ancaster have been asked to meet next Saturday morning at 11 o'clock to per- j feet plans for the approaching State , re-union, which will be held next month in Chester. It is said that Chester is planning to make the reunion the most successful held In j South Carolina In recent years and1' all the Lancaster veterans are keenly . interested. Because of the fact that so few ' farmers were In attendance it was decided that no meeting take place Saturday afternoon to oonsider the question of a county fair. Bfforts were made to have a meeting Friday, and later it was determined to post- 1 pone the undertaking until Satur- 1 day. Since there was no Interest manifested Saturday, it now appears "highly Improbable that any more ef- 1 forts will be exerted in this direc- 1 tlon. "Kvery Yard a Garden" was the title of an address delivered Friday night at the I^ancaster Cotton Mill by Prof. J. L. Carbery of Wlnthrop college. The attendance at the meet- 1 lug was splendid and the people of the cotton mill were much interested in Prof. Carbery's effort, but unfor TH fore the meeting had been concluded and this caused a number to leave the hall. It is probable that an effort will be made to have Prof. Carbery come back to Lancaster for another address at an early date. A very small number of Lancaster oounty farmers gathered in the court house last Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock to hear experts from Clemson college speak on the "Soy Bean" crop, how it is raised, its value to the farmer, etc. There was keen disappointment on the part of those in Charge of the undertaking that mn people were not present. Among those who spoke Saturday afternoon were: J. It. Clark of Manning, county demonstration agent; A. A. McKeown of Rock Hill, county demonstration agent; C. C. Fishburn of Columbia, of the Southern Cotton Oil Company; W. B. West of Columbia, of the South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers Association. Acting upon the request of the Southern Power Company. Sheriff J. P. Hunter of Lancaster county has assigned four guards to protect the property and plants of the company at Rocky Creek and Fishing Creek. The sheriff has detailed V. T. Sowell and W. M. Linder to duty at Rocky Creek and S. E. Rogers and W. E. Wilson to duty at Fishing Creek. These gentlemen have taken oath of office as deputy sheriffs and have been equipped with Winchester rifles. Their salary will be paid by the Power Company. It was explained by the Power Company officials that they feared the work of foreign agents at their plants and deemed it advisable to take every possible precaution. The Lancaster Greater Minstrels, as presented by local talent in the Mackey Opera House Friday night, proved to he the biggest success of the season. People of the city were genuinely surprised and they say that the minstrel was one of the best ^ home talent productions ever seen here. The songs were fine and the local comedy hits proved to be very pleasing. While it is impossible to mention by name those doing the Pest work in the cast, it is possible that Quay Hood with his song. oieep uany, sieep," and John M. Madra with his comedy, made the best impression. A total of about J65 was realized and this sum will 50 to the Lancaster Patrol of the Boy Scouts for their summer entrapment. | i j 1 SOCIAL NEWS | m I > SOCIAL CALENDAR 4 FOR WEEK-END Gladys M.
