GOVan Letter.

Govan, Nov. 28.-It has been some
time since your correspondent has
given the news from this community,
60 will endeavor to give you few
items.
The Woodmen of the World of this
lodge will unveil the tomb of Mr..
Luther Lancaster the first Sunday in
December at Georges Creek Baptist
church at $3.50 o'clock. The cere-
monies will be before preaching ser
vice. Saturday before and Sunday
are the regular preaching service
days. Everybody, through the cour-
tesy Of the Govan lodge, is extended
a welcome to witness the ceremonies.
DR.. Leighton Hartzog, Of Olar, has
been requested to make an address
appropriate for the occasion. We
hope not to be disappointed by not
having him with us. Our lodge is
progressing nicely. One new MEM
sber was added to our number recent
:Iy, and there are others desiring
union with US, and we hope to ac-
:cept them in the near future.
1t is reported, that the young man
named Spires, of Orangeburg county,
who was wounded on the excursion
train coming from Augusta several
weeks ago, received another wound
inflicted by a negro Saturday. The
wound was knife cut, and it is said
that the victims abdomen was cut
clear across, making an opening suf-
ficient for the bowels to protrude. 1t
b said that the young man supported
HIS bowels with his hands until
reaching physician, when the wound
was attended to. Suppose the wound
was not 80 dangerous. . -.
Nr. Howell Mccormack will make
his future home in the State Of Geor-
:gia, near Guyton. There are several
families In that community from
around here, and all of them make
good reports from that section. SUI
gar cane growing is special indus
stry over there. and the syrup pro-
duced is Of very excellent quality.
Earmers here want from 501sto 50
cents per gallon for syrup. and the
Georgia syrup can be bought for 80
cents per gallon. OF course this Is
Wholesale, but any one purchasing
as much as SO gallons can get it at
that price, and 1t is not necessary
that he be merchant.
Mrs. Helen Hay Is visiting her
sbrother, Mr.. w. A. Hay, of this place.
She will make her future home in
Arcadia, Texas, in the near future.
Arcadia is a town twenty miles above
Galveston, and is situated in the
tropics. Large lumber plants are
located there. also fig industries and
sorange groves. Mr.. Arthur Hay,
Mrs. Hays son, who is engaged in
the lumber business there, recently
visited Galveston and sent her a
picture Of the new sea wall, which
HAS been built since the great storm
several years ago which, DESTROYED
that city. It is a stupendous struct-
ure, costing the government millions
s0f dollars, and is an imposing sight
viewed from the gulf.
For one who cast his vote for pro-
hibition in the last election to be-
hold such quantities of liquor ship
ped to this little town and a great
deal OF it consigned to strangers who
live away from here, it is quite dis
appointing, and it is evidence OF the
corruption of our people. There was
barrel containing twelve gallons
consigned to a party who does not
live in this community. If the town
was large enough to support law
and order league no doubt the con-
ditions would be much better here.
Miss Leda Williams came home on
visit Thanksgiving and returned to
her position near Blackstock this
morning.
Mrs. w. S. Glover, of Johns Island,
recently returned from an extended
visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. U.
M. Eaves.
Mr.. Holland Kennedy made a hur-
sried visit to friends and relatives in
Georgia last week and reports jolly
time. He likes it so well over there
that he says he wants to make it his
home, but he can't get his wife to
give her consent to go. So he says
that does not alter the case bit,
that he can get divorce over there
and it will be recognized socially in
that State. Disgrace to Georgia! H.
Some Quick Work.
