LOWNDESVILLE ; te * 4 - 0 During last week some of the most ' active women of the Methodist church gave much of their time in preparing for the observance of Children's Day, which had been appointed to take place at that time. Among the other things done was ] decorating the annex and near it with potted plants and flowers beau- ^ tifully arranged so as to be attractive to the eye of the beholder. In these later times the arrangement of a suitable program for such occasions has been much simplified by the Southern Publishing House, Nashville, which several years ago began to issue printed programs, in pamphlet form to all congregations for a small price. These are now sent out to all Sunday Schools wanting them. When all was in readiness, at 11 a. m., the exercises were begun. 1st. Processional. "We are little soldiers marching." "* ? r? 2nd. Prayer by the pastor, nev. J. C. Chandler. 3rd. The announcement of theme of Children's Day program by Superintendent, Dr. J. B. Moseley. 4th. Salutatory, "Soldiers of strife and peace." Certain other selections suitable were taken from the program which made of the observance one to be remembered. Mrs. R. E. Moseley and her littla daughter, Ellen, came down from Anderson Saturday and took part in the exercises of the following day. me iirst auumg mum ?.? *? >, ? part. Mr. G. W. Speer and little son of Gaffney, the first a prominent member of the Bar at that place, spent several days here last week. Mr. E. J. Huckabee went to Anderson Monday on business. Mr. Will Adams, constable, and his friend, Mr W. R. Campbell, of Starr, were here Tuesday, the first on a hunt for a law-breaker. Col. Tom Swift and his son, Mr. Jas. Swift, of Elberton, Ga., came over Tuesday in their auto, bringing with them Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Hancock, of Brandon, Tex., who came here to visit "he brother of the latter, Mr. John Young, who lives three miles east of this place. Mrs. Hancock was raised in the Fork about four miles south, and had not visited the section of her nativity for quite a number of years. Dr. P. B. Speed and Mr. C. E. Williamson, of Abbeville, came up Wednesday and were here for some hours on business. Mrs. J. C. Chandler and Mrs. J. B. Moseley went to Anderson Thursday to do some shopping. Col. William Miller of Anderson, came down Thursday and has since been the guest of Mr. B. A. Bell, an uncle by marriage. Miss Louise Baskin, who has been in the Roper Hospital, Charleston, for over two years preparing for a trained nurse, graduated nearly a year aero, and has remained there till a few days ago when she came home for a few weeks stay, and will . ther. decide upon a home. From some cause last year, those , who made a crop of sweet potato??, . failed in keeping them through the winter and had none to bed out from which to raise slips, sent to Florida and oredered their supply and huve already received about 30,000 of them and have been fortunate in having good seasons for that pur- ^ pose.

Even if the house is properly screened, many flies will gain an j entrance; this in a very great meas- j ure can be prevented by placing near < the screen door on the back porch, ^ one of the fly traps recommended by j the S. C. Experiment Station, and described in Circular No. 23. This circular will be sent free to those * who want it. Anyone who can han- * 7 die a hammer and saw can make the * trap, and the principal expense will ? be for a few tacks, nails and screen * wire netting. The writer lately made one of these traps and placed it 1 on the back porch; the flies instead ^ f congregating on, or near the i creen door waiting for a chance to nter the house, fly directly to the 1 rap as they come to the house, being attracted by the odor of the bait, [which is sour milk) and are caught. U the present writing, the house vas never so free from flies in warm veather as it now is. One wishing ;o try this scheme, should write to ;he S. C. Agricultural College, Clemson, S. C., and ask for Circular No. 23, On Controlling Flies. On the 27th, George Gilliam went to Memphis, Tenn., where he will be employed in bridge construction work. On the 27th, J. D. Daniel and family moved to Airville, Ga. Miss Norwood Baker is visiting her cousin, John Lomax, of Ander son. On the 26th, Dr. Kirkpatrick, of Lowndesville, was here, being called to consult with Dr. Tate in the case of W. J. Tucker, who is very seriously ill. On the 25th, John Gilliam was taken to the Anderson Hospital. During the storm on the 23rd, lightning struck one of the tenant houses on S. J. Wakefield's farm and killed a colored man named John Postell. * ; FAIRFIELD & $*************?*** The weather is looking gloomy this morning, seems like more rain and "oh, how the grass is crawling." Mr. John McCaslan went to see his grandmother, Mrs. Wilson, who is real sick, Saturday. There was a hail storm here last Sabbath which did much damage to the crops in places. Mr. Frank Gable's crop was badly damaged also Mr. Edward Price's. Several color ed folks say they will have to plant their cotton over. Some of the hail seemed to be as large as a guinea egg. The farmers are busy sowing peas and cutting grain this week. There will be no preaching at Long Cane the 5th Sabbath. Long Cane bridge is in bad shape as the bannisters are breaking loose. It makes a fellow's head swim to cross it. Misses Rosella and Annie Lee Talbert from near McCormick, attended the entertainment at Troy Friday night. Mr. Furman McCaslan and David Young worshipped at Cedar Springs last Sabbath. Mr. Sam Long spent Sabbath with Mr. Tom Langley. Mr. and Mrs R. A.

McCORMICK COUNTY LOSES Judge Ernest Moore, who last iveek heard arguments in Columbia, sn the Writ of Certiorari, in the matter of McCormick county, has rendered a decision in which he finds . igainst the validity of the election I held for the creation of the county, j j rhe opinion of the court has not yet j ] aeen received here, but the ques- ? iions involved were, whether qualiied electors residing in the portion )f Greenwood county proposed to 3e cut off should be deprived of the *ight to vote because their voting s jrecinct was not included in the I >roposed county. The cause will be s ippealed to the Supreme Court, vhich will hear the appeal at this erm. s< IMPORTANT CHANGES [ AT STATE HOSPITAL Dr. C. Fred Williams, superintendent of the State Hospital for the In- C sane, has announced important changes to be made in the method of operation of the asylum and in the A personnel of the employes. The previous defects in the hospital has been attributable to the lack of centralization in the management. The last general assembly remedied this C and vested the power in the superintendent responsible to the board c; of regents for the administration of s< the institution. Also an appropriation n of $600,000, to be raised by a one- A mill levy, was made for the remodel- il ing of the present building and the c erection of auxiliary plants. v Architects are now working on a plans for remodeling the building of t: the State Hospital for the Insane. o One of the initial auxiliary build- v ings to be erected will be a model I dairy. Other new structures will in- tl elude a central kitchen, cold storage c and ice plant and a central heating plant. tl A new medical staff will be ap- b pointed, headed by Dr. W. C. Sandy, c an alienist with 10 years' experience 1 in institutional work. He comes to n Columbia from the State Hospital for 11 the Insane at Kings Park, N. Y. He will be medical director of the South f' Carolina Hospital for the Insane and will take the position in about a week S Other members of the medical staff " will 'be a senior physician, a woman physician, a pathologist, two junior ^ physicians and three interns. The in- n terns will be selected from the grad uating class of the State Medical col- u lege, at Charleston. After the medical staff is chosen ^ each patient will be given a complete mental and physical examination ? and they will be classified for treat- ^ ment according to their disease types. n To insure diversional occupation, big workshop will be erected at the n State Hospital for the Insane, where patients can follow the various crafts ("' Carrying out this diversional policy s< Dr. Williams has dismissed all but 10 11 laundresses at the hospital, and sub- ^ stituted patients to do the work the 33 discharged laundresses did.? = Columbia Record. 1 J2J CHILDREN'S DAY. _ * Children's Day was celebrated in the Methodist church last Sunday and a very interesting program was rendered.

Warehouse Co. )OLLAR EXCHANGE; MERCHANT HE ] 1 lUR SOUTH AMERICAN FRIENDS ] LOOKING TO UNITED STATES. laking Efforts to Establish Better Commercial Relations With This > Country? "The Dollar Exchange and the Merchant Marine." I Charlotte Observer. The sentiment of the Latin-Amerian experts now in Washington 1 eems to be summed up in the state- ( lent by one of them that "South j imerican merchants look to the Un:ed States as the logical source for btaining many products, and it ! ,'ould seem to be only a question of rranging the proper banking faciliies and transportation lines to bring ur people to your markets. We /ould rather do business with the Jnited States than with Europe, if he same facilities for doing business an be provided." As The Observer has said, two of he most important subjects that will e under discussion is the dollar exhange and the merchant marine, 'he significance of the former is the ?ore easily understood from a statelent given out to the effect that practically all the South American elegates are unanimous in wanting o discuss with bankers of the United [fafoc fVio nrorfVnlifv n-f o VilicV?_ 1 ig a 'dollar exchange' so they can : ransact their business withthis counry easily in dollars and cents, and ot have to make the reduction to j ollars from pounds sterling or some < ther foreign exchange." ' J The sessions of the conference in 1 Washington will last a week and at tie end of that time the visiting deleates will be sent out on special rains for a tour of the financial and ldustrial centers of the United Sta- ^ ?s. It is important that they be ] lade acquainted with the possibles for trade development in the atton mill centers, and for that rea*n it is to be hoped one of the tour- ( lg delegations will be apportioned ) Charlotte. iJtjiijcjuai=ii=jL=ji=ii=ii=jLJLJl=Jl=JiaiSJLaLUCJCJCUl2JCU^' jPICTORE SHOW PROGRAM ?
