Wildwood Yacht Club Races
Postponed

The club races, open to members of
the Wildwood Yacht Club only, which
were scheduled to take place on the
Club course on the Ottens Canal and
Grassy Sound on Saturday, August L,
have been postponed. This action was
taken by the racing committee on
account of the holding on Friday of
the final races of the Inquirer, at Ocean
City. A number of boats from the
local club are participating in the races
for the Inquirer Cups, and to have
them in readiness to ace tomorrow
would be impossible. The date for
holding the postponed races will be
announced later on by the racing
committee. The Annual open regatta
races of the club will be held ON Satur-
day, August %, and entries must be in
not later than August 20. On a large
table in the spacious reception hall at
the Club house there are on display a
round dozen of handsome Silver and
Gold lined Cups, which will be present
ed to the winning boats in the Club
races and the open regatta races. They
are the finest lot of prize cups ever ex-
hibited on the Island.

GREAT PROGRESS At OTTENs HARBOR
The Streets and Sidewalks are
Being Installed. Boats and
Equipment for Those
Who Fish and Crab

Holly Beach residents have reason
to feel proud of its new addition-the
Ottens Harbor tract. This new de-
velopment within the past few weeks
has made wonderful strides and with
the rapid opening of the streets and
the installation of the sidewalks, is
taking ON a look Of stability and per-
manency that is the most convincing
fact of it's future success and growth.
1t is safe to assert that within the next
twelve months, more than a score of
homes will be erected on the harbor
and it will be but a short time before
it will be a most valuable asset as a
community of summer homes to Five
Mile Beach.
Many sales are being made to visitors
to Holly Beach and the present moder-
ate prices of lots makes the invest
ment a most desirable one. The har-
Dor, wide and deep, leading directly
into the main channel of the sounds,
is becoming the favorite outing place
of many summe residents who enjoy
boating, grabbing and fishing. Motor
boat owners are using it a safe refuge
for the anchoring of their boats.
It's close proximity to railroad sta
ton, the post office and business CEN
tire of Holly Beach makes 1t a most
desirable location for a cottage or boat
house home.
The harbor is going to be a winner.
It has every natural advantage to make
it 80. Henry H. Ottens, its promoter,
has done remarkable work in the de-
velopment of Five Mile Beach and his
success is well known. With his
usual energy he proposes to make the
harbor as successful as he has made
the Ottens Tracts Nos. / and 2 and the
Ottens Canal Tract. Fully 500, 900
will be expended in making the harbor
one Of the most desirable residential
sections on the island.
Already a number of houses have
been built and this coming fall will
witness the erection of many new
homes on this addition to popular
Holly Beach. The work of construct
ing the great State Inland waterway
will shortly begin and the waters of
the harbor will run directly into this
deep, navigable channel, which will
run from n end of the state to the
other. The completion of the new de-
velopment will be pushed rapidly and
in a few years that section of the is
land is destined to become a populous
happy community of home owners

Presbyterian Church Notes

AT the manse of the First Presby-
eschhUrsfsy
evening a reception was rendered the
Rev. S. A. Harker and wife. Mr..
Harker has lately accepted the church
in his charge. The affair was in charge
of the Ladies' Aid Society and proved
to be a very enjoyable occasion. MI.
and Mrs. F. A. Mershon received,
together with Mr.. and Mrs. Harker,
between the hours of eight and ten.
Among those who called during the
evening were Mrs. Galley, two sons
and two daughters from Philadelphia.
Miss Ethel Brigham, Of Philadelphia,
gave several fine Rotations during
the evening.
1t is with great pleasure that the
interested members of the First Pres
byterian Sunday school of Holly Beach
note the increasing number of teachers.
For some time past the number of
pupils greatly exceeded the number of
available teachers and such being the
case the teachers were unable to do
justice to the subject or to the pupils.
AT last Sabbath's session, which open
ed at 2.30 p. M, several new teachers
offered their services, and the hour was
spent in an interesting and profitable
manner. 1t is to be regretted that
more mothers do not attend the school.
The earnest desire of the officers and
those interested in the welfare of the
church, is to see more parents ac-
company their sons and daughters to
Sunday school. The regular attend
ance at Sunday school is important in
the life of a child and mothers and
fathers should not neglect it. A cor
dial invitation to attend Sunday school
at 2.3O p. m. every Sabbath at the
church, corner Pacific and Burk ave-
nues, is extended to all and a hearty
welcome will not be wanting. The
congregation at last Sabbath's services
were unusually large, the church being
we'll filed. During the two services of
the day subscriptions to the amount OF
$3.50 were taken and every effort is
being put forth to cancel the church
debt which "a contracted this spring
for the purpose of building the annex.
The church is now ina position to ac-
commodate a large number ofstrangers
together with its own members, and
everyone is cordially invited to attend
its services.

PIONEER WILL
EXTEND CABLE

The constructing engineers OF the
Pioneer Telephone company are in the
city estimating the amount of new ca
BILE needed to supply the demands of
the local exchange "A year ago."
said Manager Leonard. "the cable we
now have was more than ample for all
customers, but now they are badly
eongested and extensions are demand
ed. A telephone exchange accurate
ly indicates the growth of town, and
I want to say that Chickasha is going
some. The Pioneer tries to keep pace
with the progress and growth of the
cities on its circuit but finds that it
is hard to do in Chickasha." Work
on the new cable lines will begin as
soon as estimates are secured and
material delivered.

$500 Per Yard

When the council met yesterday to
consider bids for paving they found
several proposals in care of the city
clerk. Some Of the concerns asked
permission OF the council to withdraw
their bids and consent was granted.
OF the IS submitted It was found
} that G. A. Heman Of st. Louis had
made the lowest offer, sl.9S for five
inch base and S1.9S for six-inch base.
William Thornburg was next lowest,
81 and S2.O7 Pending an investigation
of the firms reliability the council an
nounced that the award would be

No Authority for Paying
Precinct Election
Officers

The county commissioners are hold
ing an adjourned session and will fin
.ish today. Several bills for holding
the recent election had been filed with
the county clerk, and were investi-
gated
AS there was considerable variance
in the amount of the bills the law was
investigated and it was found that
no provision had been made in the
statute for paying these claims, so the
bills were laid aside for further in
yestigation. 1t seems that some Of the
precinct election boards claimed that
holding election was public work and
as over eight hours was employed
they put in claims for two days work.
Some OF the precincts put in time
for two men to bring in the returns,
one of each party. The matter was
referred to the county attorney and
he informed the commissioners that
the law made no provision for paying

It is proposed to erect a mortuary
with at least thlrty-two catacombs. to
be used when desired, in case of in
clement weather or when lot has
not yet been purchased
A system of lot sales will be insugi-
rated soon, allowing people of mod
crate means to purchase a lot and
pay for it in weekly or monthly in
stallments. Although Messrs. Sackett
and Lane are at the head of the sys-
tenn, an organization officered entire
ly by local people will be formed.
Under the lawn and park manage
ment the entire cemetery is kept in
perfect order. Full sections are laid
out and brought to perfect grade. This
system does away with the non-uni-
formity of grade and care, one of the
greatest objections to the old style
cemeteries, where the sold lots were
cared for, and unsold ones were not.
Here, all win he we'll kept, and per-
petual care is guaranteed every lot.
That the new cemetery will be beau
