EGr?T IS FEELING
EFFECT OF UNREST
IN TURKEY
Steps Taken To Prevent
Outbreak At Religious
Festivals By Mohamme
dans.
OUTWARDLY ALL IS CALM
Garrison At Cairo is Kept
Constantly Under Arms
To Prevent Trouble.
CAIRO. —The Islamic unrest in
Turkey is becoming manifest in
Egypt and India, and important
events may be looked for in the near
fuutre.
Here all is outwardly calm, but
there is a strong undercurrent of ex
citement and unrest. At all the vari,
ous Mohammedan festival and cele
brations the authorities take secret
but effective steps to check and trou
ble that may arise. At the festival
of the Mouled el Nebi three fire en
gines were held in readiness at Ab
bassa to damp any excessive enthu
siasm that might have been display
ed, and an exceedingly strong force
of police was within call in case of
trouble, which was certainly expect
ed. The smallest altercation was
promptly suppressed, and the police
kept the crowds in strict^order.
A great demonstration was arrang
ed for the return of the Khedive the
otner day, but he nad been taken into
confidence by the authorities, and at
the last moment, instead of coming
to the main station at Cairo he went
diret • to his palace at Koubeh, thus
thwarting the Nationalist plans.
The garrison here is kept constant
ly under arms .and military guards
are always on duty at all the gov
ernment offices. Meanwhile the Na
tionalist press keeps up its campaign
against the government and the Brit
ish, and openly incites the people-to
rebellion.
All the news of riots, outrages and
sedition in India is prominently dis
played in the Nationalist organs, with
laudatory remarks whenever any in
cident occurs. The India sedition
mongers are referred to as heroes,
and there is obviously an understand
ing between them and the Egyptian
Nationalists.
MB. TOM BARRETT
ILL RUN FOR
MAYOR
Announces His Candidacy
in Card in The Herald
Today.
In another column of this issue ap
pears the announcement of Hon.
Thomas Barrett, as a candidate for
mayor of the city at the ensuing elec
tion.
A reporter of The Herald called
on Mr. Barrett and asked if he had
anything to say, in addition to his
formal announcement. He replied
that he did not; that the announce
ment spoke for itself ,and that while
he was making the formal announce
ment today, he had practically been
a candidate for the past year, and
the people are familiar with his views
on the questions that were agitating
the community. That, he was, how
ever, for anything that tended to the
progress and prosperity of the city,
and as the protiVtion from future
floods or freshets was a matter of so
much concern to the community, that
he had pledged his best efforts to do
everything that was practicable, to
prevent its recurrence, and to min
imize the resulting damage, if any
occurred. That his best efforts would
be pledged to the interest of the com
munity, and that he would use every
meaps in his power to advance the
commercial progress and general
prosperity of all the people in every
way that was possible.

LEESVILLE, S. C.
A Prosperous and Thriving Town—A City
of Fine Schools , Busy Stores and
Active Factories
(BY A. D.)
The south stands always ready to
regard with interest any place link
ed by name or location with the im
mortal Lee. The town we are now
considering owes its origin to a
branch of this famous Virginia fam
ily, which owned a large plantation
around Leesville and Batesburg.
The large holdings of Mr. J. W.
Mitchell, proprietor of ‘Summerland,’’

Cotton Oil Mill and Cos fin and Casket Factory,
Leesvi lie, S. C.
are a part of this original tract.
While the first settlement of the
town is remote in time, the most of
the fine buildings now to be seen
are of modern structure.
The Leesville oil mill, under the
management of F. H. Hendrix, is a
strictly first-class cotton-sepd mill.
The concern buys cotton and distri
butes all sorts of cotton products.
The Leesville Coffin and Casket
company, controlled by C. D. Barr
and P. .1. Mims, is doing a large gen
eral business in planed and prepared
building stuff, as well as undertak
ing. Screen doors, windows, col
umns, mantels, mouldings of all sorts,
may be procured here.
The towm is its own capitalizer.
Two good banks keep funds circulat
ing, the Peoples’ Bank having Dr.
E. .1. Etheridge as president, and W.
A. Shealy as cashier.
As a favorable index to the general
business conditions. it may be men
tioned that the citizens distribute
their capital. Merchants are also
manufacturers. The banks and sac
tories have active, alert business man
agers in all departments, who in turn
have their own individual interests.
The Leesville Mattress Factory is
doing well. E. J. Etheridge is presi
dent, and W. A. Shealy is secretary
and treasurer.
The college under President Haynes
and the high school under Principal
C. A. Fellers, are fine educational in
stitutions, and share the general pros
perity.
Among the many stores may be
mentioned those of Matthews &
Bouknight, H. F. Hendrix, J. C. Ki

nard, and J. W. Kinard.
Dr. J. W. Kinard makes a specialty
of manufacturing various chemical
compounds.
There has just been finished a
beautiful town hall, and a new church
may be expected at an early day.
The Leesville Drug company is a
young but highly promising concern,
under the control of Dr. L. B. Ethe
ridge.
Mr. A, M. Roesel conducts a suc
cessful meat market, having been in
Leesville about five years.
Electric lighting is expected about,
the first of July. Those who know
the fine industry and determination
of these citizens have no doubt of
this improvement coming to pass at
that time.

drix, who was still at home because
of recent illness.
Mr. W. A. Shealy has a most in
teresting family record. His grand
father is living in excellent health, at
ninety, and has five sons and at least
40 grand children, and as many great
grandchildren living.
The Kinard Hotel is a justly popu
lar stopping place. Our readers will
be glad to see one of our prize win
ners, Miss Glayds lllandon, who in a
recent contest for The Herald won a
•piano. Her picture will appear in
The Herald soon.

Leesville, in common with Bates
burg, claims the popular and widely
known “Summerland Springs’’ resort.
In a pleasant ride with the enterpris

owner, Mr. J. W. Mitchell, I found
much of Interest to write about, later
