ODES CELEBRATES
1 CHILDREN'S DAY.
1
BIG PICNIC WITH GOOD SPEMING, !
BOUNTIFUL DINNER AND FREE
LtXUNAUt. I
Cades, July 1:?Saturday was 1
indeed a banner day for the 1
hustling little city of Cades and 1
-crowds of people from every
direction both near and far J
came to town to join in the fes-1
t tivities of the auspicious occa- '
sion. The day will long be re- ^
membered by one and all as 1
I among the happiest ones of 1
" their existence. There was not
a single incident to mar the ,
pleasures of the day.
The occasion was a celebration
of Children's day by the
Baptist and Methodist Sunday
schools of this city. Aside '
j
from several interesting- recitations
very prettily rendered by r
different sweet little children
and appropriate songs by the
splendid choir the programme 1
of the day was as follows: ^
Address on Prohibition, by
Kev S J Bethea, of Lake City. <
Address on Education, by 1
tlev L N Chappell,of Lake City, i
Both addresses were able, interesting
and instructive, each 1
teeming with much valuable
information and instructive ad- T
vice along the lines of the difs.\
ferent subjects, and the undi- (
vided attention of the large au- .
, 1
dience present indicated clearly
that the lucent discourses
were being well received and \
i rarefullv and seriouslv consid- 1
r
ered by all present.
The next number on the pro-11
gramme "was the dinner, and;1
quite an important number it <
proved to be. The good ladies 1
had prepared an elaborate
spread of everything imagina- i
ble in the way of delicious, <
toothsome viands that would i
tempt any inner man?or wo- <
man either. Not being satistied
with the extravagant array .
of good things to eat, they had
added all kinds of lucious friuts (

bountiful bill of fare. Every- 1
^ body got all they wanted to eat '
and went on their way rejoic- {
^^%ing?after the exercises were
fcver. ;
\ The following ladies formed
the committee on dinner, which *
was a guarantee of its brilliant <
? success from the beginning: 1
? Mesdames C G Carsten, Ida

enjoyable feature of the day
was the endless quantity of fine,

of one to dispense this ever delicious
beverage?in any quantity?free
of charge tor nothing,
ind he was kept busy during
the day in his ever courteous
ivay endeavoring to aid the
people to secure ade.
The gleam of pleasure on the
Dright faces of all the little
"oiks present was an assurance
that they will long remember

BIG CROWDS AT CARNIVAL-TOBACCO
SEASON ON?CANNERIES IN FULL
BUST-MAN BADLY HURT.
Lake City, July 1.?Mr D M
Epps and family leave Thursday
for Sullivan's Island for a
month's outing.
The old soldiers of this section
will have their annual reunion
and picnic at McAlister's Mill
next Saturday, July 4th. All
hope that the veterans will have
a very merry day.
Miss Annie Sutcliffe has gone
to Charleston on a visit.
Cotton bolls were seen in Mr
II E Godwin's held on the 13th
instant, so says Mr W J Cockfield.
A solid car load of tin cans
for the canneries was received
last week. It is estimated that
thirty thousand three-pound
cans will be used this season.
This means two-thousand and
five hundred dozen cans of tomatoes,
beans, okra, etc., and
then too there are thousands
of jars and tumblers of preserves
jellies and jams being put
up for market and home consumption.
The canneries have
no trouble to sell their products
to the merchants by wholesale
Thus our people are learning
to turn the waste products into
money, which is one of the surest
roads to success. Money
made in this way is like finding
it.
Tobacco is coming in every
day now and the scenes around
the warehouses are beginning"
| to take on air of hustling activity.
The crops are very fine
and are ripening nicely. Indications
are that it will be one
of the best, both in quanity and
quality, in the history of the
culture of the weed in this sec!
tion. This market will handle
! about three million pounds,
possibly more. This will be
| equal in value to about six
thousand bales of cotton at ten
! cents per pound,

day there were twenty five hundred.
They came from all directions
and some from considerable
distances. High spirited,
good-natured throngs out for
a jolly time and they had it, too.
Never before has this town,
heard and witnessed such laughter,
such good cheer such rollicking
fun. It does people
worlds of good to lay aside
corking care now and then and
laugh and play and forget
tomorrow and be glad to day.
See there! we dropped into
rhyme. Couldn't help it. In the
air, don't you see? "Jimmie, is
yer wid me?" "Yes?I?is."Well, ,
Johnny Jones got some money.
Yes, and we, all of us got some
fun too; and after all fun is just
as current as money in the land
of "pretty soon."

Mr T L P.ass, who is a drummer
for the Burlington Coffin
Co, of BurliDgton, N C, came
near getting killed here last
Monday, in alighting from a
moving train. Mr Bass, whose
home is at Sandford, N C, went
to Kings tree that morning on
train No. 5". In passing Lake
City he handed out his baggage
to Mr J M Sturgeon,saying that
he would return on the twelve
o'clock train. When this train,
the twelve o'clock train, stopped
at the station Mr Bass did
not get off, but after it moved
off and was just below the Main
street crossing and running
something like fifteen miles an
hour, he was seen to rush to the
car door, run jut and down the
steps and swing off to alight.
He in some way lost his footing
and was hurled with terrific
force to the ground flat on his
face. Mr Sturgeon and some others
took him up and carried him
to the Sturgeon Hotel and summoned
Dr A H Williams, who afterwards
called in Dr JB DuRant.
His head and face were badly
cut and bruised. One eye was
hattprpd until it was a tprrihlp
sight aiid the root of his nose
was badly injured. He was in a
dazed, simi unconscious condition
and bis mind did not clear
up fully until next morning. At
first there was some fear of
concussion of the brain, but at
this writting, Tuesday afternoon,
he is doing well. Every
attention was rendered by Mr
and Mrs Sturgeon and the physicians.
His wife, who was
notified immediately, arrived
Tuesday morning and is now
with him.

large man?will weigh more
than one hundred pounds, and
