All men are not always peaooabie,
even in town so noted for sobriety
and good order as Seneca. 1t be-
comes proper and eminently fitting
at times to incarccrate the boisterous
violators of law, for the protection OF
tho good and law abiding. The town
is now engaged in erecting a guard
house, made entirely of stone and
iron, for the safe Keeping of criminals
and "toughs." Escape from it is we'll
nigh impossible.
There arc small industries in Se-
noca, not few, that add to the ae-
gregation of business of this progress
sive town. The smaller industries
arc as important in the make up of
the towns business as the larger, the
only difference being in tho amount
OF capital employed. Among these
are the meat market of w. A. IIol-
land, and shoe shop of James billiard.
There are the blacksmith shops of
Thomas Burgess and James Grissop,
either of whom will repair buggy or
wagon, or shoe horse with dispatch.
Their business is great convenience
to the public at large.
MIR. l.. w. Werner is the happy
owner of the fancy and fast trotting
horse "Cannonadc," Kentucky
thoroughbred, that made on the
track, i'll his trial record, n mile in
2.23. "Cannonado" is a. beautiful
and valuable horse, admired by all
who see him.
For several years Seneca has been
the home of the Oconee Fair Asso-
citation, an institution having for
its object the Improvement of
stock, poultry, agriculture and horti-
culture. Mr.. j. j. Balcnger, of
Richland, is President, Mr.. j. w
Stribling, Treasurer. The late Ia
mentcd Max Coleman, one of Sc
neca's most promising young men,
was Secretary at the time of his
death. His successor has not vet
been elected. During the latter part
of October every year from two to
three days arc devoted to tho fair.
A race track, one half mile in length
has been graded. Some fine horses,
of greatest speed in this and othc,
States, have been entered there.
The ladies also take great interest
in their department, which is always
foremost in attractions. The oxhi.
hit of flowers last fall was remarka-
bic for beauty and variety.
1t is tho purpose Of the managers
of the Association to make it much
more potent factor for good in the
future than ever in the past. 1t il
in good financial condition now, and
able to do more than heretofore. Il
is worthy of the support of the pco
pie of the whole county.
1t will be noted by the reading OF
tho above brief account of Sencc:
and its business men that the grca
Empire State of tho South ha,
furnished no small proportion of en-
terprising citizens. The people arc
q unit in all efforts to build up thei
town in particular and Ozone,
county in general. While there i.
strong competition in business, there
is no friction or pickering among he
people. 1t is race for prcfcrmen
and her people vic with each othc
in enterprise and industry.
The young folks of Seneca ado
very much to the social life of the
town. In common with most towns
of Importance in tho Piedmont sec.
tion, Seneca can justly boast Of {
full quota of beautiful and accom-.
plished young ladies and gallant
swains. Their presence exerts 6
powerful influence, and in pursuit o.
