. CADES RED LETTER DAY ;
A ATTRACTS BIG CROWD.;
4 MOST ENJOYABLE OCCASION MANY 1
H SPEECHES MADE-AN EXCELLENT s
H DINNER AND A GOOD TIME. ^
The thriving and enterprising i
KS municipality of Cades scored a 1
great victory in the war of prog- *
% ? * _i 1
Iress Tuesday, and the attend- <ant
celebration will long- be a pleasing:
remembrance to the assembled
throDg whose wel- c
come presence graced the gala r
occasion. "Red Letter Day" it t
was .called, and indeed the s
, event should be remembered in ?
flaming capitals not one red t
letter, but a whole btinch arranged
so as to spell PROG- t
R E S S. i
It is no small undertaking for ?
a town the size of Cades to entertain
in a material way a f
crowd estimated at from 750 to t
1000 people all of whom seem- r
<ed to be blessed with good ap- i
petites, whetted to a keen edge I
by the mental pabulum that
was served In unstinted ?
measure before dinner and even *
after everybody should have t
been too full for utterance or 1
attention thereto. c
The main features of the occasion
were the number of speak- ?
Hk ers present and the bountiful t
HH dinner provided by the hospita- 1
fhp rnmmnnitv.it
inn uit v* -ww .
BR For another reason not the least I
potent it was a pleasure to be e
there, viz., it was the largest
KB crowd of nativeWiiliamsburgers a
that we have seen foregathered c
in many years and it is no idle t
compliment to say that the pro- *
moters of the affair should feel a
proud of the interest they
aroused by their own public r
spirit and enthusiasm. And the t
best of good humor prevailed j
throughout the day. Dame Na- I
ture herself lent her smiles and ^
gocd cheer and good will went i
hand in hand. Even the rival J
candidates "lowered their vis- 1
ors," as though in a Castle Hall *
of Friendship,Charity and Benevolence.
?
^ The exercises were opened *
with prayer by Rev W P Gause, *
followed by a short and pithy I
welcome by the popular young '
mayor, Mr B W McElveen, who s
HE spoke as follows: <
RH "Mr Chairman, Ladies and
BV Gentlemen: As intendant of r
W the town of Cades, it affords me <
Y ' much pleasure in her behalf to
welcome you one and all on -j
this auspicious occasion." ?.

vas next introduced and made
>ne of his characteristic excelent
speeches. It was evident
hat MrStoll had the crowd with j
lim. It ma}* not be amiss to!
tate here that when Mr Stoll
vas called upon to speak his
>pponents were not present and
ie had no reason to expect their
ater arrival, otherwise he
vould have spoken wheif they
lid. Both of them, Messrs J B
dcLaughlin of Bishopville and
\ B Stuckey of Sumter came in
)n the 12 o'clock train and
nade their speeches in the aferuoon.
These gentlemen preiented
their claims eloquently
ind received courteous atten*
:ion.
R T, Hirsch.Eso. of the Kiners
;ree bar, was introduced and
nade a very graceful speech
ippropriate to the occasion.
Hon P A Hodges, a candidate
or congress from the 6th disrict,
was then presented and
nade a good impression judgng
by the close attention given,
junctuated with applause.
Mr Murchison, another congressional
aspirant, followed #
md made a really good speech,
>ut unfortunately spoke in so
ow a tone that many failed to
:atch his remarks.
Following Mr Murchison came
i Mr Alexander, a vinegar salesnan,
who, it was announced,
'furnished the vinegar for the
>arbecue". His happy little talk
^leased the audience,who seem:d
very friendly toward him.
Hon J W Ragsdale was next
mnounced as a candidate for
:ongress and while he did not
ouch on politics his speech was
1 rnlfn/l 4-r\
CI y YYCll auiwtu wv kiiw uvvujivu
rnd elicited liberal applause.
Hon J E Ellerbe, the present
epresentative in congress from
he 6th district,was called upon
ust before dinner and his jokes
jutthe crowd in a good humor,
vhile the points he scored a-ere
mpressed upon bis hearers. Mr
211erbe's remarks were entirely
ion-political and were enjoyed
>y his audience.
After dinner the last cons
sessional candidate, Hon J R
toggeshall,presented his claims
or the honor of representing the
>eopleof this district.His speech
ras earnest, forceful and impresive.
Mr Coggeshall has already
i good following in this county
tnd his quiet, unassuming deneanor
gains him friends when*
jver he goes.

Crops around Cades are ne and j
everything" betokens en erg}* and
enterprise. Near the depot Mr
0 G Carsten showed us a held of
corn, six acres, which although
but seven weeks old, (following
a bean crop) is the finest we have
seen this year. Mr Carsten thinks
it will make 60 bushels ^to the
acre and we deem this a conserv- ,
ative estimate.
Among our other friends we
had the pleasure of meeting Dr
Haselden, Messrs H L Poston,
Williamson, Eaddy, Sauls, McElveen,
