THE TRADES PARADE.
Easily the leading feature in the
Fourth Of July celebration in Yorkville
yesterday was the monster trades pa
rade, participated in by various Wood
men camps and many local business
houses. The parade, made up Of floats,
of all kinds, shapes and sizes, was
formed near the Church Home on
Kings Mountain street, and moved
down Congress street to the Tavora
cotton mill, thence back to Jefferson
street out to Graded school building,
and thence to Liberty street and up
Liberty to the court house, where 1t
was disorganized. During the parade
the side walks, the front yards and
porticos, and store rooms were lined
with thousands of visitors, who watch
ed the novel show with pleasurable in
tent.
Because their speed could not be ac-
commodated to the slower moving
motive power Of the other floats
horses and mules, the automobile
floats Were given position at the head
of the column. The band and the mil
itary came next and then long string
of teams, single horses and buggies,
bicycles, etc., stretching out over a
distance Of something like a mile and
making quite an imposing and credi-
table exhibition Of the business, indus
trial, social and educational status OF
the town and county. The following
