CHLDREN'S DAY EXERCISES.
A Most Enjoyable Occasion to All
Who Participated.


The regular Children's Day exer-
cises were observed at Cattle Creek
Church on last Saturday. The day
was cool and cloudy. A cool breeze
was string the greater part of the
day and the sky was canopied with
clouds, making the atmosphere cool
and pleasant. Friends and visitors
came from the various neighborlng
churches to enjoy with the children
of Cattle Creek their annual Chill
dren's Day, and to add and part1ci-
pate with the children as well as the
older folks in the social pleasures
afforded by the picnic.
The regular ordered program for
the day was carried out with care,
accuracy, and with much delightful
praise and congratulations from
! friends and visitors. Mr.. Art Whet-
stone, our efficient superintendent,
who has had some years Of eXper-
ience in Sunday School work had
given his best efforts to his school
and well does he deserve praise for
the exercises by the children's recita-
tions as well as the songs, were not
only good, but were both instructive
and delightful.
After the exercises were conclud-
ed by the children the superintendent
as he expressed it was delighted to
have with us Rev. Mr.. Murry, our
neighboring pastor" who spoke to
us. And our superintendent was
right when he said we were delight
ed to have Mr.. Willie Murry with us,
for he gave extemporaneously, one OF
the most instructive and delightful
sermons, as one of the friends eA-
pressed it, that we have had the
Measure of listening to lately. Speak
ing of the Sunday School as an Or
ganization best fitted Of the organlza-
tions of the church in bringing chill
dren into sympathy with Christianity
he gave the illustration once used by
Bishop Chandler, that the time TO
catch frogs, and catch them very
easily. is to come upon them when
they are tadpoles. This illustration
brought laughter from the entlre
audience, and the interest was Keen
throughout the remainder OF Mr.
Murry's delightful and instructive
Next the superintendent introduc-
ed "our young friend, Mr. +. II.
Dukes" who said some words IN De-
half of the Sunday School.
At this point in our exercises heV.
Mr.. F.. II. Beckham, our pastor was
eypected to make an address, Dut On
account of the critical illness OF MS
father he had been called away, ana
when he reached the church ne was
iust in time to hear the benedictlon.
The hest came next, dinner. Our
sunerintendent with characteristic
nleas santness extended to the Congre-
cation an invitation to attend dinner,
nrepared and placed upon one long
semi-circular table under the large
Campmeetlng arbor. The cnllaLen
arranged themselves around enas

MURDERER ARRESTED.
The Man Who Killed VIII Cutter
Caught at Last.

On the night Of April 10, 1906,
Willie Cutter, white, was shot and
killed at Midway in Bamberg county.
Cutter was resident of st. George,
but had joined an itinerant show,
styling itself circus, which exhibi-
ted at Midway in the night of the
killing. The tent was located near
the railroad track, and by climbing
to the ton of some freight cars that
stood on the siding the performance
could be seen.
Cutter was demonstrating with the
negro boys who were thus getting a
peep at the show without paying
when he was killed. John Anderson
and Isaiah BARLEY, two negroes, were
charged with the crime, Anderson es-
capped in eluding the officers OF the
law until Sunday, when he was locat-
ed and arrested in Augusta, Ca, by
the cheif of police of that city.
Since his escape Anderson has wan
dered through several States, and
during his wanderings he has lost his
right arm, which disfgures him con-
siderably. He persistently denied his
identity and all knowledge of the
killing until he arrived at Bamberg.
when he confessed his identity and
said he was present at the killing,
but did not have a pistol. He said
BARLEY was the man who did the
shooting. -,
BARLEY was tried at the fall term
-of court last year and set up the de-
tense that Anderson did the shooting
and that he just happened to be pass
ing by when the shooting was done.
He was convicted of maslaugfter,
however, and sentenced to four years
on the gang. He is now out on bond'
an appeal to the Supreme Court nav
ing been made in his case.
A reward of $3.50 was offered Dy
the Governor for the apprehension
of Anderson. 1t will probably be
claimed by the cheif of police OF All
gusta,- or Joe Dukes, telegraph
operator, who recognized him in Au-
gusta and had him arrested.

LIQUOR PROFITS.
A. Notable Variation of the Per
Cent of Profits.
Sumter County Leads and Beaufort
County at the Foot of the Profit

Sumter County Leads and Beaufort
County at the Foot of the Profit
Column.
MIR. w. B. West, dispensary audi
tor, has, after much tedious work,
compiled table showing the gro's
sales, net profits, breakage and net
gain of the SO county dispeusaries.
The table is an interesting one and
for purposes of comparison shows
exactly how each dispensary Is run.
We publish below as we find it in
The State:
For instance there is only one dis
pensary in Abbeville county and the
profits therefrom amounted to over
$4,000, while 10 dispensar5es in
Barnwell County brought not quite
$1,000. The II dispensaries in Rich
land county brought in over $4,000,
and II dispensaries in Charleston
made $1,000. Sumter shows the
largest percentage Of gain in profits
and Florence next with Aiken third.
The statement has been complied
from figures submitted and sworn to
by the respective county dispensary
boards, or their authorized clerks.
However, it might be well to state in
regard to the breakage account that
the comparisons made are not abb
solutely just insomuch as some
boards have returned railroad short
age as breakage, thus swelling the
breakage account.
This explains the blank for Lex
ington county. In many instances
claims were filed for the shortage
and have been paid which would
very materially lessen this account.
However, the account is in the main
correct.
The profit made by some of the
counties is somewhat larger than has
been reported insomuch as they have
charged fixtures, bottling outfits, etc.,
to the expense account, which were
not taken in as assets in making up
statement.
Followine is the statement for the
