Captain Childs received his
final education at the Carolina
Military institute, in. Charlotte,
n. Q. He has engaged chiefly in
agricultural pursuits during his
life, having large farming inter.
ests i'm both the, pRper. and lower
ppFttiioaRas Of tha statsf. iaqRd ard splendid
plantations not far from columbia
at the time of his death. He
started out, in the insurance busi,
ness ness here in company with R., A.
keenan, under the firm name of
keenan, & Childs. In 1876, the

turned his attention to agricul

raising hay principally on the ex.
tensive plantation below the city

thousand acres, left him by his
father. The reputation of the

Lancaster enterprise. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1891-1905, 1899-09-16

As unexpected as the thunder
bolt from clear sky came a
brief telegram last evening con-
veying the sad intelligence that
Capt. Lysander d. Childs had
died suddenly in the course of
the evening . at Saluda, N. c.,
whore he has been spending the
summer with his family. 3, The
cause of Capt Child's sudden
death was not stated. The news
was a. severe shock to his rela-
tiEes and friends. and all hasten
ed to convey messages, of condo
lence to the stricken widow.
Capt. Childs was one of Colum.
bias most prominent, citizens.
Though he lived quietly, at bis
bone in Waverly, he had many
business interests and was a man
who. was known by his fellow
citizens only to be loved. He was
a high-toned, Christian gentle.
man, having, the courage of his
convictions, and never failing to
express them fearlessly- and force
fully. His strength of character
was best exempllfied perhaps in
his absolute devotion to the cause
of prohibition in South Carolina.
He has long been the recognized
leader of the prohibitionists of
the State. and every fight for the
cause that has been made was
under his leadership.
The remains will be brought TO
the saddened home in this city
to-day and the funeral arrange
ments will be, announced later.
Capt. Child's health had been bad
for some time. This summer he
went early to the mountains.
About three weeks ago he came
home for few days to look after
some business matters. He had
never looked better and said that
he felt greatly improved by his
stay in the mountains. His friends
little dreamed that the end was
SO near. His last appearance in
public was in the legislature the
session before last, when by sheer
will power he overmastered his
rapidly failing strength and made
the great fight for the prohibition
measure whi.h came so near win
ming. After the fight was over he
left the hall and did not appear
again that session, his last as a
member of the house of represen
tatlves.
Lysander D. Childs was born in
Lincolnton, N. c., July 6, 1855, .
son of Lysander d. Childs and
Nancy Hoke. The former was
born near Baltimore in 1911, and
when Is. years of age came to
North Carolina, where he was
married in 1889. He was a sue
cessful manufacturer and banker
in this city up to the time of his
death, which took place Novem

and prominent citizen of NORTH

FREDERICK THE GREAT.

Frederick the Great had regiment of
soldiers, the equal Of which has never
been seen in the world. Every man
stood over six feet high and weighed
over 200 pounds. These men were the
Kings pets and Dubbed "Frederick's
Giants" 1t is said His Majesty would
make excursions into the most remote
sections of his domains, in search of
these giants, and whenever one was
found, If he refused to join this famous
regiment, he was subjected to the Kings
displeasure ever afterward. In the COM
ing production of Frederick the Great"
by Lewis Morrison, these staIwart
heroes are conspicuously in evidence
and in their magnificent uniforms pre-
sent a most inspiring spectacle. Erred
erick" appeared a mere pigmy when
standing beside his Children" as he
christened his body guard. For COM
pleteness in detail and accuracy to in.
cident Lewis Morrison's big production
OF Frederick the Great is the most
elaborate and stupendous ever presented
by this eminent actor. 1t will be pre-
sented at the Grand Opera House next
