MEMORIAL EXERCISES.
A Very Large Audience At;dr, IS
By Hon. Charles r.
Thomas

Thomas.
AS announced in the columns of
the ARGUS, the memorial exercises
took place Sunday.
At about 5 o'clock fully two thous-
and people had assembled at Willow
Dale Cemetery around the beautiful
Confederate monument, under which
rest eight hundred of the heroes of
South-men who died defending
their homes, and their rights, vouch-
safed to them by the constitution Of
the United States.
/, A large crowd, including both
military companies, had also assem-
bled at the Court House square, and
the orator of the day, in a carriage,
accompanied by the Chief Marshal
and the chaplain, had already gone
to the Court House square, when it
began to rain, and it was decided
that the address and other exercises
should be held at the Opera House
instead of the cemetery.
In a short time the large opera
house was packed-lower floor and
galleries. Shortly afterwards, &C
companied by Col. T. H. Balm,
Chief Marshall, Rev. F. II. T.
Horsefield, Rev. F. W. FAIRIES, and
Adjutant A. B. Hollowell, of the
Thomas Rumn Camp of Confederate
Veterans, amid prolonge applause,
Hon. C. R. Thomas entered and took
a seat on the rostrum.
The choir sang "Nearer My God
TO Thee" and Rev. DR.. Horsefield
made a beautiful prayer.
Then Col. Balm, Chief Marshal, in
a most appropriate manner, introd-
uced the orator, Hon. G. r. Thomas,
Congressman from the Third Dis.

Take No Substitute.

Mr.. Jno. r. Bell, Of Mt. Olive,
was in the citySaturday and says that
the strawberry crop will net the
farmers more money than last year.
The vines keep bearing and the ber-
ries were selling then at $3.50 to
800 per crate and buyers are anxi-
Gus for them at that price. He re-
marked to the reporter in a ~jocular
manner that the income tax was the
only worry that the strawberry
| planter had now some are afraid
| that their incomes will be such as
will compel them to pay a tax. With
all seriousness, he said that there
were plenty of negroes who owned a
little patch of land who were walk
ing around the community with
$500 in their pockets, and a few had
considerably more than that in the
banks. Everybody in the strawberry
| district is in a prosperous condition,
even down to the day laborer. The
merchants who sold goods on straw
berry time have had good collec-
tons and are now selling quantities
of dry goods and clothing at good
prices, for the money. The land
lowner who leasedland for themoney,
as they do in the trucking district,
has got his rent and the renter is
still selling his products at good
profits and laying aside money tc
complete his other crops, all of which
will be his own. Perhaps nowhere
else in the State does such a prosper
ous condition exist among the farm.

The Innocent

The world to-day is full of innocent sufferers from that most 1oahsome
disease, Contagious Blood Poison. People know n general way that it is
a bad disease but if all Its horrors could be brought before them they
would shun it a they do the Leprosy. Not only the person who contractsi it
suffers, but the awful faint is Transmitted to children, and the fearful sores
and eruphons, weak eyes, Catarrh, and other evidences of poisoned blood
show these little innocents are suffering the awful consequences of some
bodys sin. So highly contagious is this form of blood poison that n may
be contaminated by handling the clothing or other articles in use by a
