THE WAYCROSS HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1893.
THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Wlut We Did la Wijrcrouto Celebrate.
Business was light in the city voter-
day as it was understood that the stores
would be closed at 2 o’clock.
At half past /our the crowd moved to
wards Gilmore street, and soon six or
seven hundred people had assembled to
witness the sport and hear the speeches.
The programe opened with a dress pa
rade of bicyclists, first in “injun file,”
next in couples and then in fours. The
riders were handsome and graceful, and
made a fine display.
THE SALOONS CLOSED,
tem of Lienor Dealing.
Columbia, S. C., July L—The so-
called dispensary law, under which the
State of South Carolina takes exclusive
control of the sale of intoxicating liquors
within her borders, went into operation
to-day. Although it is calculated that
the State will probably make a profit of
$1,000,000 on the 1,500,000 gallons of
liquor annually consumed by its inhabi
tants, the primary object of the law was
the regulation of the liquor traffic, and
not the raising of revenue.
Under the new law no person can pur-
Next came the speeches by C. C. , c i ia3e less than half a pint or more than
Thomas, esq., and Judge Williams, and
the reading of the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Both gentlemen acquitted
themselves well and were loudly ap
plauded by the enthusiastic crowd.
Next was the bicycle race of one-eighth
and one-quarter mile between Mr. Lang-
ly and Will MeNeil, the judges decided
in favor of McNeil. These races were
closely contested. In the second race
Langly was leading when near the goal,
but lost his pedal and McNeil ran oat
ahead. Our reporter did not get the
time.
The race betweeen Mr. H. W. Reed
on his bicycle and Master Haines Reed
on his pony, created much merriment,
and resulted in victory' for Master
Haines. The presentation of a beauti
ful boquet of flowers to Master Haines
by little Miss Vera Gillon was a pretty
and entertaining expisode not down on
the program.
The run made by R. E. Lee Hose Co.,
in charge of Foreman Dauvergne was
handsomely executed. Mr. Dauvergne’s
company are all boys but are well or
ganized and know how to “get a move
on.”
The program would not have been
complete without the bag race between
Master Hammond McNeil and Master
Brewer. The first one did not satisfy
the crowd and a second race was called
for. Master Brewer was declared the
victor, time not given.
The foot race between Messrs Whelp-
ly and Soloman, captured the living
throng, and raised a yell which might
have been mistaken for the “rebel yell”
had we not all folly understood that it
was a fourth of July shout. The judges
declared Mr. Solomon the victor.
The evening shades were falling fast
when the sports came to an end, and the
crowd dispersed, not however, before
declaring that the occasion had been
most enjoyable.
Hurrah for Waycross and the fourth
of July! That’s what the Herald says.
Death of Mrs. Sarah A. Baker.
This well known Christian lady died
last Saturday night at 7.30 o’clock, after
a lingering illness of about one year.—
She was about sixty years of age, and
had been a consistent. member of the
Methodist church since a girl of four
teen. She was also a member of Class
No. 1 of the Christian Laymen Workers’
Association, and was the first and only
member of that Class that has died
since its organization. She requested
just before her death that when she was
gone her name should remain on the
roll of membership. Funeral services
were held at her late residence yester
day evening by Rev. Geo. W. Mathews
at 5 30, and the remains were carried to
Charlton eounty this morning to be laid
to rest in the Mills’ church yard beside
her husband, two daughters and numer
ous friends who have gone before.
Mrs. Baker was widely known in
Southern Georgia, and was one of the
most consecrated Christians in the laud,
evidence of which was shown in her
daily walks in life. She never lost an
opportunity to put in a word for religion
nor to aid anyone in distress.
She leaves a number of grown chil
dren, one of whom is near death’s
doar, besides a host of friends to mourn
her death.

A BRIDGE GIVES WAT.
Two Mules Drowned and Several
Hundred Watermelons Lost.
Quitman, Ga., July 4.—The Morrow
bridge across the Ocopilco creek, three
miles north of Quitman, gave way this
morning while R. T. Miller’s two wagons
oaded with melons were on it Two
mules were hitched to each wagon. Both
wagons and mules were thrown into tbe
creek, eight or ten feet below, and two
of the mules were drowned, one from
each wagon. The drivers managed to
cut the others loose and they swam
ashore. ^ This bridge was weakened by
the heavy rains of a short time ago, and
has been considered in a rather unsafe
condition. It is likely that the county
will have to pay for the loss of the mules
as well as for several hundred melons
which were thrown out of the wagons
and floated down the creek.

Lukens, boarding with John Molas, fell
love with the latter’s wife, and know
ing Molas had $800 in his trunk, asked
the wife to secure it and go with him to

and open, a saloon.. The woman told
her husband. He advised her to go

The Fourth at Waresboro.
Yesterday, the 4th, will long be re
membered by the people of Waresboro
and vicinity as one among the happiest
of their lives. At an early hour the
streets were thronged with people from
the country, Waycross, Manor, Waiter-
town, Millwood and other plaees.
At 10 o’clock all met at and in front
of the academy, which was arranged
with seats* etc., for the occasion. Rev.
D. Morrison was called to the chair and
Mr. Walter Bennett elected Secretary.
Addresses of welcome were delivered
by Dr. J. M. Spence, mayor, and Master
John Davidson, followed by Col. L. L.
Thomas, Prof. S. P. Settles and several
others during the day.
By 12 o’clock the long table erected
under the wide-spreading oaks on*Main
stree, in front of the Methodist church,
was filled with baskets, trunks, boxes
and other vessels, filled with the choicest
edibles, which was served by the ladies
in splendid style. It -was the most en
joyable repast the writer has participa
ted in for years. After all hat) eaten,
apparently not more than half the
tents of the table had been consumed.
Cold lemonade was dispensed free under
the supervision of Mr. T. A. Hail, who
managed it well—supplying everybody
throughout the day. The watermelons
and peaches were unsurpassed. It
indeed a day of feasting. Everything
passed off quietly and pleasantly. The
young ladies receeired many compli
ments on the music for the occasion.
Quite a number left this morning to
