SPRING LAKE PARK.
A TolerablysFair Crowd Out Yester-
day-High Plunges Made from
the Tower to the Water.

Spring Lake Park, yesterday,
was visited by fair number ofour
citizens.
The lake was well filled with small
boys, in bathing costumes, while
the reservoir, which is a large hole
some fifteen or twenty feet deep
and curbed up with cypress and
brick, was filled with those of larg-
er growth.
1t was advertised that one of the
bathers, Mr.. Runge, would dive
from a hundred foot tower, built
on the side of the pool for this pur-
pose, and it had several landings of
various heights from the water.
There were several yentursome
spirits there, and each and every
one were high plungers, and furn-
ished much amusement for those
who assembled on the brink to
watch them take a header from
away up beyond the water.
Mr.. Runge, the gentleman who
was to have taken the 100 foot leap,
is one legged man, and uses a
crutch, while up on one of the land.
ings dropped the same in the reser-
volr and it went to the bottom.
This was the signal for deep diving,
and many attempts were made to
recover it by those who were well
known deep divers, and while each
one brought to the surface rock and
sand, as evidence he had been to
the bottom, the crutch was not
found until small boy who was
padding about, took it into his
head to try his luck at deep diving
and he went down, and when he
came up he brought the crutch in
one hand and mud in the other. He
was cheered time and time again
by those on the bank.
The chute came in for its part of
the fun and the boat was pulled up
the incline many times and let
plunge into the water, full of boys
in their bathing suits.
The clouds banked up before
night and threatened rain, and the
crowd returned to the city before
the park lamps were lighted,

The man with weight on his leg
can't hope to win in the race. A
man with weight on his health
can't expect to compete in lite and
business with those who are not
handicapped. If his brain is heavy
and his blood sluggish because Of
constipation, he will not succeed in
doing anything very well. Consti-
patton is the cause of nine-tenths
of all sickness. Symptoms of it are
sallowness, listlessness, poor appe~
tite, bad taste in the mouth, dizzi-
ness, biliousness and lassitude. Con-
stipation can be cured easily and
certainly by the use of DR., Pierce's

all violent in their action, yet they
are more certain than many medi-
cines which are so strong that they

HONE ExA PATH.

Suffice to say that the people have
higher things to do. They care little
for the past; their aim is to make
TIonca Path greater town in the fu-
turc. They have and will succeed,
for tile people of that town are made

Honea Path is situated in the lower
part of Anderson county, about eigh-
teen miles from the city of Anderson,
and is on the main line Of the Colum-
bia & Greenvillc division of the
Southern Railway. The land is level
and undulating, the climate is the
best in the world, almost, and the
health of the place is far beyond the
average towns of this State.
The soil is finely adapted for the
raising of crops. The farmers all
brag of the good returns they get for
their labor, and are happy, prosperous
and contentented.
Mr.. David Greer was the first set
tier at this town. He was a native
of Ireland, and built a rude house in
the year 1890. This house was about

struction. At that time tobacco was
the stable crop, and all this was sent

John C. CAN'T was born near old
Craytonville, in Anderson county,
July 26, 1884. The ancestors of his
father, John W. CAN'T, Esq came
from North Carolina to Abbevile,
and were of Welsh stock. His
mother, Jane Mattison, was native
of Prince William County, Virginia.
The elder CAN'T came with his family
from Craytonville to the Fork in Jan
uary, 1874. and it is rather remar ka
bic that the subject CT this sketch has
resided at the old homestead, with
only occasional intervals of short du-
ration, ever since a period of nearly
ffty-three years.
Mr.. CAN'T worked on the farm. at
tending the country schools until his
eighteenth year, when he set out to
learn the carpenter and mill wright 5
trade. He worked at his trade for
some years, doing superior work in
Anderson, Oconec and Abhevillr
Counties, and in Elbcrt, Hart and
Franklin Counties, in Georgia.
In the year 1889 he attended school
at Townyille, the teacher being Mr..
O. H p FAINT, whose reputation as
an instructor was high. When the
war broke out Mr.. CAN'T enlisted in
Company X, Fourth S. {. Volunteers,
commanded by Col. j. B. f Sloan,
and served with his regiment in Nir-
ginia unnl the close of the term of It's
enlistment. He participated i'll the
Jatil' Of First Manassas, and was
in the hand-to-hand struggle that
wrcStrd P'ckctt'S battery from the
enemy. The late Gen. + Nirby
Smith was desperately wounded in
this hat lr, and Mr.. Can't assisted in
hearing h'm off the field. Later Mr.
Can't WAS detailed to work in the
Corf' dcrate States Armory at Ath-
ems, Ga, in charge of Maj. j. &.
Cook, of New Orleans. Towards the
close of the war, however, when men
were worse needed than arms, Maj.
