' ■ MMHMhm^HHHMhI 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. five.gallons of any intoxicating liquor, and it is only procurable in sealed pack ages, which must not be opened on the premises where they are purchased. 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. /IbscJutefy Pure A cream of tarter baking powder.

Shamokin, Pa., July 2.—Michael 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 Pittsburg.

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.
