Diphtheria is a thing of the past il

UNI0N-Times, July. l: Louise
Young, daughter of Mr.. J. K. Young,
while out riding on her bicycle on
Tuesday afternoon, was run into by
two Negro boys who were running q
race. She was badly stunned and
remained unconscious for sometime.
We sincerely hope that the child has
sustained no serious injury and will
soon be entirely we'll again. The
town authorities should put a stop to
bicycle racing or even fast riding on
the streets. 1t is just as dangerous as
rapid driving or riding of horses on the
street. '.".There is comparatively little
life in the state campaign. Watson
and Tillman still attack Ellerbe, but
are making very little off of him.
They are simply making him friends.
The writer was in Columbia last week
and it was the impression there that
Governor Ellerbe would be reelected
on the first ballot by 10000 majority
We find that the people are not dis
pleased with Ellerbe. 1t is the politi'
clans, and the reason of it is that they
can't manage him. Ellerbe is stronger
with the people than he ever was. He
is safe man, and his backbone is too
stiff for the politicians.
CHESTER-The Lantern, July l
Mrs. G. B. White gave her two little
nieces, Gladys and Carry Patrick, OF
White Oak, birthday party which
greatly pleased the invited guests
Yesterday afternoon. '''''"Mr. Jno. w.
Carson, of CASTOR county, n. c., who
has recently been graduated from Frs
kline college at the head of his class
can be found making himself useful at
The Lantern Office at present. ''''''Mr
w. o. Guy gives us this from his own
personal observation In 1861 sever
al boys were boarding at Mr.. Jas. L.
Guys, on Turkey creek, going tc
school. One day when these boys had
stopped school to join the army, two
young roosters which had been named
Lincoln and jeff, got into fight. AT
ter long struggle Jeff was forced to
yield to Lincoln's superior strength.
The application is obvious. On last
Wednesday two similar fowls in Mr.
w. o. Guys yard, which he called
Spain and Uncle Sam, joined battle
He determined to see it out. They
fought till so exhausted that they
could only pull feebly at one another's
feathers. Then turkey gobbler came
up and gave Spain a whack on the
back that sent him staggering from the
field of battle. Now Mr.. Guy wants
to know if this augurs intervention by
the powers; also how Turkey comes to
be in it. .'''''""Supt. Hand, Misses Mary
