THE FOURTH AT WANANISH.
"A VisitOr'' PronounceS n Celebra-
ton There the Most Successful He
Ever Attended.

A correspondent of The Messenger,
signing himself "A Visitor" writes as
follows regarding the Fourth Of July
festivities at Wananish, on Lake Wac
camaw:
THE Fourth at Wananish. on Lake
Waccamaw, was a delightful day.
There was a splendid assemblage of
the best people from the surrounding
country, among them several of Will
mington'S representative business
men-Mr. B. F. Hall, of Hall & e
sail, Mr.. Thomas Bagley, Mr.. Mercer,
of Mercer & Evans, Mr.. Ike Bear, Mr..
r. NJ. Wescott, and others.
The grounds were nicely cleared off
around the pavilion, and comfortable
seats arranged in the densely shaded
grove. There was a good string band,
and the pavilion was crowded with
the young folks, who enjoyed a de-
lightful dance.
II have attended a great many gath
erings on the Fourth and don't remem-
Der ever seeing so many people to-
gether with such perfect behavior.
There was not a single incident or hap
pening during the entire day TO mar
the pleasure of any from the least TO
the greatest. Mr.. j. P. Council and his
friends had conveyances at PowelPs
Crossing, where the excursion train
from Wilmington stopped, n trans
ferred all passengers and baskets down
to the Lake shore promptly. Everyone
seemed to enjoy the day and voted that
Wananish is one of the coming places
for any and all who want to spend a
pleasant holiday at a convenient and
safe resort"

Other Notes OF Interest. .

All the committees for the Ffremen's
Convention and Tournament are now
hard al work and making good pro-
gress- 1; is safe TO predict that every
feature viii be a big success. and with
each passing day the prospects for at
tendance brighter. Truly ~ crowd
will be mammoth, the people focking
here from ali points OF this and ada
cent states not only viii there be a big
attendance OF fire companies of this
state but the outlook for the interstate
feature of the tournament are growing
brighter. The following from yester-
days mail Of the State viii
be OF interest in this connection:
Chief W. ]. May, OF the Columbia
fire department, yesterday received a
telegram from the management OF the
Wilmington stating that
arrangements would be made so that
the local companies would not be re-
quired TO be in the parade in order 10
enter the contests, and that provision
would be made for an extra train to
bring the C~olumbians home so they
could be here in time for Saturday
business.
This means that the Phoenix Hook
nd adder company and the other Col
umbia teams viii attend the tourna-
ment.
THE companies are still urging the
Coast Line TO come down in the rail-
road rate. II was first announced al
81. IS; now it Is $40. but the firemen do
not feel that this is as low as they
should be allowed"
Mr.. W. F. Robertson, superintendent
Of the Clarendon Water Works Of this
city, has issued invitations to all the
superintendents of water works in this
state to attend the firemen's conven-
ton and tournament join the associa-
ton and make the Clarendon office
their headquarters while in the city.
The invitations were issued yesterday.
The work of decorating business
houses and other buildings for the
tournament is now in progress. Mr.. l..
Metteldafer, Of Richmond, having al,
ready decorated in an especially
tasteful manner the orion Hotel, The
Messenger building, A. David's store
building and J. E. Hisnants restaur-
ant and bar. Many ithers are to be
decorated by him during the next few
days. Attention is directed to an i'm
pirtant announcement by Mr.. Mettel-
dafore in another column.

SCARCITY OF BEEF CATTLE.
A Meat Dealer Says There is Almost a
Famine of Beef On the Ma~rket-Sup-
ply of Sheep Also Limited.

One of Wilmington's most extensive
fresh meat dealers calls the attention
of The Messenger to the remarkable
scarcity of beef and cattle on this
market. He says there is almost a
famine of beef, and cattle just cannot
be procured. This scarcity of beef and
the fact that the great firemen's con-
vention and tournament is to be in
full blast within the next few days
attracting people here from all parts
of the country, brings about such a
demand for beef cattle that farmers
and others who have cattle which they
intend to sell could scarcely select a
more opportune time to market their
cattle than within the next few days.
The prices are good and the demand
can scarcely be supplied.
The Messengers informant also
complains Of a great scarcity Of sheep,
which he says are very much in de-
mand.

Cochise review., 1900-06-15

lT is said that in the Klondike the girls who go over there with their pa rents and brothers can have their pick of the fortunate miners who have ac- qnired millions, get married and settle down. These rich men naturally de- sire . companion in that cold and lonesome country, and it is pity,
 too, to see these eligible spinsters working for living in that rough community. Raubers, the scientist, argues that the Klondike scheme solves a social problem. However, as in many civilized states, the women outnumber the men, the consequence is that plural marriage appears to be objected to, many fascinating girls go without hus- bands and are at work in the stores. factories and offices. Rauber thinks this is U shame, and as we cannot kill of the surplus women, we ought to take better care of the males, who, al- though born in greater number than the females, are much more difficult to raise, in addition to which they are subject to risks which result in their deaths, and subject to temptations that

lT IS asserted that the war fever in a people is an epidemic that spreads with rapidity and attacks the most conser- vative and most. peaceful of the citi- zens. Men whose lives have fallen in smooth paths and whose occupations are most prosaic, become bloodthirsty and excited. The microbe of the war fever is in their systems. But in pleasant contrast to this, is the tide of charity and humanity that sweeps over the land on the occurrence of cala- mites such as fire, lfamines and acci- dents. All the people are at once sym pathetic; each man, woman and child is ready with his or her mite, or with true sympathy where poverty prevents, thus proving that if the microbe theory of the war fever is correct, there is kindly gentle disease that is beneficent in its effects, and uplifting in its crisis it may be called charity, it is certainly part of the disease known as the brotherhood of man, and its prevalence is hailed as token of the race.
