On last Sunday afternoon Van \\ vck and the greater part of Waxhaw ami Indian Land Townwhip were visited by heavy rains. Small streams overflowed their banks and washed up the crops along them, many say it vas the worst washing rain for years. The damage to land and crops is considerable and it will require a lot of labor and attention to repair the damages. The small grain crop is being harvested and is considered very good ? much above our averago O ~ grain crops. Cherries are ripe and the crop is abundant. House-keepers aro busy now putting up this favorite fruit. Mr Ilenry Dixon of Columbia and Mr .1 1* Hunter of Lancaster, paid our village and community a visit last Sunday. Mr Dixon it a relative of Mr. .1 L Tillman, whom lie had not seen for some years, and at lirst meeting he failed to recognize him and took him to he a traveling politician which was not far from the mark ? as Mr. Dixon is going to visit this part of the state again 11 the interest of ''our uext president ? Mr Bryan.'' Mr. Hunter, by the way is a candidate for sheriff, hut he was not looking after his interests in I this matter. Mr. Hunter has some very strong friends hero who need no watchimr. unless it is by the other fellows. Mr. Morrison, traveling sales man for E M Andrews Music . House of Charlotte, spent Wednesday night in Van Wyck. Ilo was placing some music here with Mr. J It Williamson, ou?* popular and live section master. A good many of our colored citizens took in the Dick Massey > excursion to Charlotte Wednes | day and returned Thursday morn j ing looking sleepy and dry as a i chip.

I v.iv uv?? luiiirnu nuili | Cheraw to Columbia returned to j bis old homo Wednesday morning, having tinished up the work on tho| part on which he was employed.

Dr. Verner Nisbet, of the Uni verity of Pennsylvania, is at homo spending his vacation with his mother. The Doctor is preparing himself well for hia chosen profession -i? talented and we predict a bright future for hitn.

It is not our intention to fill your paper with wind, so to speak, but to suy a few sincere words in regard to i this enjoyable occasion?the closing exercises of the Oak hurst I High School, June 4. School having closed Friday, Juno 1, and as the pupils wore kept busy standing the final ex animations, the entertainment was put off until Monday night June 4. The exorcises were carried .out almost perfectly by the children. They as well as tho teachers deserve great praise for their being so well prepared, To have been present at the entertainment was to get an idea of the thorough- j noss of the school work. The public exercises show that there has been great efforts put forth by ' both teachers and pupils. A great ileal of time and labor spent. The school building was tastefully decorated. It was ouite a treat to see so great a number of bright faced boy# and girls to7 | get her. , .Fust a word in regard to the teachers. With Prof W C Bynum as Principal and Miss Emma Mcllwain as assistant, wo can "account for its being one of the most successful terms on her school record. Prof Bynum is a very enthusiastic young tea.-her, thorough in his work, kind and gentlemanly in his dealings with ins pupils. He will no doubt meet with great success in his well chosen profession We feel that Miss Mcllwain needs no public compliments as she is known all over the county | as a thorough and painstaking teacher. Her work is always commendable. The following is the programme in ose on this occasion. Ii*.citation "Welcome"?Flor- ( ence Robinson. Dialoguo?"Joe's Boy." Dialogue?"Tom's Practical Joke."

Strange Condition ot Affairs. Fxcept on tho ground of political timidity we are unable to understand why neither editors nor politicians, legislators nor congressmen are making any effort to suppress tho mob violence of the labor unions. Their organization is a menace to tho peace and prosperity of the country. When mohs or outlaws ure laying violent hands on the property und persons of the citizen, \v0 see editors, politicians, congressmen, and simlin headed idiots talking about trusts. 11 No attention is being paid to 1 the destroyers of property, or to | those who maim and kill laboring men. I Republicans and Democrats are i loud in their protestations of hatred for the trusts, but the aggregation of public enemies undor i the lirm narno of labor union, re1 ceives no attention. They stop street cars, shoot lalnirers,-destroy property, disturb business of all kinds, while they themselves voluntarily go into idleness, or form ?n organization i j to make resectable and law-abid- j iu? cmwiiN aiHiid una uenver to them not only their monoy, but the control of tneir business, l'orson and property interests > hare rights which even outlaws and mobs should be made to re spect. Is not the cry of "trusts," i about like the cry of "stop thief?" 1 ?Abbeville Press and Banner. ?
