CADES CELEBRATES
4 CHILDREN'S DAY.
Big PICNIC With GOOD SPEAKING,
BOUNTIFUL DINNER and FREE
LEMONADE.

CADEs, July 1:-Saturday was
indeed a banner day for the
hust'ing little city of Cades and
crowds of people from every
direction both near and far
came to town to join in the fes-
tivities of the auspicious occa-
sion. The day will long be re-
membered by one and all as
among the happiest ones OF
their existence. There was not
a single incident to mar the
pleasures of the day.
The occasion was a celebra-
tion of Children's day by the
Baptist and Methodist Sunday
schools of this city. Aside
from several interesting recita-
tions very prettily rendered by
different sweet little children
and appropriate songs by the
splendid choir the programme
of the day was as follows:
Address on Prohibition, by
Rev S j Bethea, of Lake City.
Address on Education, by
Rev L N Chappell, of Lake City.
Both addresses were able, in
teresting and instructive, each
teeming with much valuable
information and instructive ad-
vice along the lines OF the diff
ferent subjects, and the undi-
vided attention Of the large au-
dience present indicated clear
ly that the lucent discourses
were being we'll received and
carefully and seriously consid-
cred by all present.
The next number on the pro-
gramme was the dinner, and
quite an important number it
proved to be. The good ladies
had prepared an | a b o r a t e
spread of everything imagina-
BILE in the way of delicious,
toothsome viands that would
tempt any inner manor wo-
man either. Not being salts
fed with the extravagant array
of good things to eat, they had
added all kinds of lucious fruits
and juicy watermelons to the
bountiful bill of fare. Every
J body got all they wanted to eat
and went on their way rejolc'
king-after the exercises were
over.
The following ladies formed
the committee on dinner, which
was a guarantee of its brilliant
success from the beginning:
Mesdames e G Carsten, Ida
Sauts, Annie Tomlinson and B
W McElveen.

UNCLE REMUS GOES HOME

Death came on Friday to the bed
where Joel Chandler Harris lay in
sickness and in pain, and closed his
eyes upon the scenes of this world
forever. The children's friend, the
gentle, philosophic humorist. poet
and story teller, the wise and serene
journalist. the shy, lovable friend
and neighbor, the brave and patriot
fc citizen, has found rest from his
labors.
He loved the world, and the world
wa. good to him. His paths were
paths of pleasantness. He read the
heart of nature with the3 eyes OF
love and told her stories winningly
and we'll to her best lovers, the little
children.
The south mourns him, the nation
shares the southlands sorrow.
Among the literary men of his time,
he ranked with the foremost few
with kipling, with Howells and with
Joaquin Miller. He had the fairies
gift of style, and the soils own gift
OF sturdy common sense. Imagination
was his, and a fine fancy. But best
of all his gifts was the rich sympa
thy. with all earth's common Great
ures that glows through his beloved
pages.
No more will Uncle Remus tell his
delightful stories to the Little Boy.
Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox and Brer
Bar are masterless. They are with
drawing into the woods deep shad-
ows, stricken with a sense of loss.
The Little Boy seeks his mothers
ARM demanding to know the ans
wer to the age-old riddle, death.
Where has Uncle Remus gone?
Out on the free winds of heaven,
child. Do you remember that song of
Mr.. Harris that WE used to chant,
the one that had these lines for re-
frain?
my honey, my love, my hearts de-
light,
Hits a mighty fur walk on rainy
night
Lemme in, lemme in"
1t may be, Little Boy, indeed we
venture to say it is true, that while

UTTERANCES THAT PROVED
CLEVELAND GREAT.

The presidency Of the United
States is the repository of the peo-
pies will and power. Within It's Wis
ion should be the protection and
welfare of the humblest citizen and
it should catch from the remotest
corner of the land the plea of the
people for justice and right
Any cause that is worth fighting
for is worth fighting for to the end"
While it is a grievous thing to
contemplate the two greatest Eng
lish speaking people of the world as
being otherwise than friendly COM
petitors in the onward march of CIV
ilization and strenuous and worthy
rivals In all the arts of peace there
is no calamity which a great nation
can invite which equals that which
follows a supine submission to wrong
and injustice, ,and the consequent
loss of national self respect and
honor, beneath which is shielded and
defended a peoples safety and great
ness"
Even the patriotic sentiment of
our people is not an adequate sub
stitute for sound financial policy"
Public officers are the servants
and agents of the people. We may,
| think, reduce to quite simple ele-
ments the duty which public servants
owe by constantly bearing in mind
that they are put In place to protect
the rights of the people, to answer
their needs as they arise and to ex-
pend for their benefit the money
drawn from by taxation"
THE right of the government to
extract tribute from the citizen is
limited to its necessities and every
cent taken from the people beyond
that required for their protection by
the government is no better than
robbery"
"A public Office is public trust"
Il believe in an open sturdy part
nersh1p which secures the legitimate
advantages of party supremacy; but
parties were made by the people,
and ] am unwilling, knowingly, to
give my assent to measures purely
partisan which will sacrifice or en-
danger their interests"
Il am not blinded to the fact that
the livery of democratic tariff re-
form has been stolen and worn in
the service of republican protection.
The trust and ombines-the COM
munity of pelf-whose Vaccinations
have prevented us from reaching the
success we deserved should not be
forgOSten or forgiven.

which have been given in honor of
Rev. r. A. Walton, D. D., and his

The christian inmates of this gra-

casion this spacious home threw
wide open it's hospitable doors to DR..
Walton and his helpers, the visiting
ministers and the different pastors
of the town. Snowy linen, sparkling
cut glass, shining silver, gave to the
long dining table, beauty and re-
finement, while ferns and blue plum
bagoes supplied fragrance and the
needed finishing touches of decora-

A STAB AT PROSPERITY.

If it should turn out on final de-
cision by the proper courts that I'M
der the anti-pass law the railroad
commission has no authority to con-
tinue merchants excursion rates and
other similar arrangements for low
rates for special occasions, of course
that would settle the question at
least until the law is changed.
In the face of severe penalties for
violation the railroads hardly feel
justified in using such rates even I'M
til the courts sift it out If, in the
meantime pending such decision or
following it, the cessation of special
rates should play the devil" as Mr..
Colquitt put 1T, cripple the CONNER
cial centers and delay development
and upbuilding-then in that case
what would become of the conten-
ton that the anti-pass law is in COM
mon with all the others blessing to
the state devised by the thirtieth?
The effect of the law as applied to
the press is beyond doubt kind of
lid on publicity and interchange of
opinion in making press association
meetings more expensive and of
course less frequent and not so we'll
attended, but this might be passed
up by the powers that be as only a
theoretical detriment to the state.
If, however, the cutting off of all
merchants excursions and special
event rates should give the stab di-
rect to the states material prosperity
would a recommendation go in for
the laws modification?
Almost every class of citizens in
the country are organized and have
their association meetings from time
to time-editors. doctors, teachers,
preachers and all the rest-and all
are interested in cheap excursions.
Then what part of the people, if any,
is benefited by having the question
81 lieu UP " d uIaStiS ia" tha' no
body in authority seems so far able
to disentangle it?
The controversy over various fea-
lures of the anti-pass law has been
going on for many months-ever
since the law became effective, in
fact, and the discussion still RACES.
Such a condition is not mere call
for few and better laws. It's regu-
lar shout for 'em.-Fort Worth Star
