V * N WYCK ITEMS.
\lr. E : Optimo*, your
news g uli'T r Vm Wyck has
boon very i>u?y wrestl'iog with
farm work and other business,
and has neglected \ an Wyck
news items for a long while.
Hut we have a vacation now from
tho farm and other things and
will use some of our spare moments
in giving your readers an
account of the happenings around
Van Wyck.
Our farmers are about through
with the culiivation of their crops,
and are enjoying a much needed
rest from their summer's toil before
they are called upon to gather
in the golden harvest. A spirit
of good will and contentment
seems to prevail.
Politics have not disturbed our
tranquility. Farmers are wearing
smiles and feel happy over
the prospects for an abundant harvest,
although the outlook is not
the best. Cotton promises about
a two third crop and if wo do not
get rain soon our calculations will
be placed on a half crop as the
weed is small and shedding its
fruit profusely. Corn is about
an average crop. The early
planting is about made and the
late planting growing nicely, but
needing rain, and its yield de
panels upoa everything; being favorable
for it the balance of the
seuson. Much of this late crop
was planted the early part of
July.
Candidates had been rather
scarce in this pait of the county
but as the county cuuvaas is on ?
we have them in full force this
week. They are a nico, clever

count! ?upet visi?r. Mr. Hyatt
is a gentleman, iuov competent
for the office to which he uspires.
He is a broad minded, practical
man and knows the needs of our
people. He is an expert bridge
builder, a judge of lumber and
knows hew our public roads
should be made, and if elected
supervisor, we are satisfied we
shall have better roads. He is
fully competent to take charge of
the county's finances and other
matters belonging to the office of
supervisor. He has the endorsement
of his home people and they
would like for the voters of Lancaster
county to inquire into the
merits and fitness of Mr. Hyatt
for supervisor and if found satis*
factory to give him their support.
We are satisfied the county's af
fairs will he safe in his hands.
The annual pic-nic of Cedar
Camp, W. O. W. of Van Wyck,
August the 6th was largely attended,
and a decided success. 1
The weather was fine and the .
Camp had free refreshments on
the grounds?ice lemonade, fine
melons, cigars and candies for the
public. The table was ladened '
and fairly groaned under the ,
weight of the abundance of the ,
good things for which our couu- |
try is famed. All were satisfied (
and many baskets of fragments
taken up. (
The congressional candidates of y
the fifth district were invited to ,
he present and make addresses but f
were provonted by another ap N
pointment. The committee had ^
not arranged for any other speakers,

I Van Wvek church held it* i
I children's day service last Sunday i
morning. The attendance was
very good and the children acquitted
themselves well, showing
the careful training of tho committee
assisted by the pastor and
Prof. T. K. Thompson, Van
Wyek's hustling teacher.
Our genial merchant Mr. J. H.
McManus has been wearing mammoth,
latitudinal smiles since last
Saturday. This can bo explained
by tho arrival of a tine daughter
at bis home.
Van Wyck community had an
unromantic marriage last Sunday
morning, the contracting parties
being Mr. Eddie Crenshaw and
Miss Octavia Starnes. The ceremony
was performed by Mr. J.
J. Perry, Notary Public, at his
home. On tho part of the groom
it was a kind of "Gretna Green"
affair who failed to get a welcome
reception, a shower of rice or the
well wishes of his displeased pa-,
rents.
Among Van Wyck's recent visitors,
was Mr. James Sims, a son
of the late Col. R. M. Sims, who
was horn in the Wnxhaws, but
who is now living in California.
Mr. Sims has won for himself a
reputation as an attorney and politician
in the Golden State and ,
was very favorably spoken of a9
the Democratic nominee for governor
of California. He was the
guest of his kinsman, Mr. R. H.
e> ' i
Massey and family.
Mr. Willie Lake of Hot Springs
Ark., a son of the late Keiupoi
and Bessie Campbell Lnke has been

Drs. J. Douglas Nisbet of New
York and Verne Nisbet of Philadelphia,
after several weeks rest
at their mother's beautiful coun^
try home at Indian Ferry, returned
to their respective homes,
much refreshed by our Sunny

ed in carrying on a protracted
meeting at Belair this week which (
began last Sunday afternoon.
Van Wyck school opened last
Monday with thirty four pupils?
Prof. T. It. Thompson in charge.
Van Wyck was visited Thurs
day morning by the hardest rain
of tho soasou with some hail but J
not enough to do any damage.
The rain was very much needed ^
and will do much good. t
The county candidates were J
with us last Wednesday and were (
well received by the people. 1
There were about one hundred j
