THE RACING FINE Many Enjoyed the Splendid Show of Speed at the Fair Grounds Yesterday Quite a large crowd gathered at the fair grounds yesterday afternoon to witness the races given under tHe au spices of the Charlotte Road Driving Association. Had jthe .weather been more propitious, the crowd would have been even larger. It is but the simple truth to say that every event was well worth seeing. In fact the races were just as good as any that have ever been pulled off at the fair ground track. The judges were Capt. S. B. Alex ander and Dr. C. H. C. Mills; time keepers, Messrs. J. W. Todd and C. E. ' Hooper, and starter, Mr. C M. Creswell. The racins consisted of three events and each of these were exciting to a marked degree.

HICKORY'S FOURTH LARGELY ATTENDED Was in Every Way' Successful. A Splendid Parade . and. Beautiful :i Floats. -: Foot Races, Bicycle Races, ,rS ham Battles, were Some lot the Day's features. Hickory, July 5. The great day has ended. It has been a success far sur passing the best wishes of those most interested. No one has anything to say except "What a grand time it has been." Tuesday the heavy showers excited fears that all would be ruined by rains, and when the shower came af ter midnight last night, the hearts of the committe went down into their boots. But, while the morning broke showery and threatening, the sun merely remained behind clouds until after mid-day, making, with the pleas ant breeze, an ideal time for such a day. The parade formed duly at 10:30 at the Graded scnool grounds, and came thence down Mail street, passing round the park, to the crossing above the Hickory Grocery Co.'s store, thence round by the depot, and up the principal street again. The remark has been repeatedly made today that many of the floats would have been a credit to any city display. Notable among them was Mr. Poley Hahn's Bakery show, in which a woman in old-fashioned dress and gingham sun bonnet watched a Dutch oven, behind this came Mr. Hahn himself in a wag on fitted up with the latest things in the way of baking arrangements, and with an . up-to-date delivery wagon closing the procession. Then there were Morrison Bros' long train of beautifully decorated floats with the finest instruments in their stock, then (one of the very best things) the Hickory Novelty Company, with a complete house, finished and furnish ed throughout, and above all, a sign, "We made all . these." Miss Mary Rosborough had ordered a pair of Shetland ponies sent down from Mor ganton, and these drew a pretty cart full of pretty girls, with a big millin ery sign. This was as "cute" as any thing in the parade, unless it were the little Menzies "rat" with the baby to drive. At the head of the proces sion came an immense float, with a pyramid of little girls in white and the national colors, all rising to the apex where sat the Goddess of Liberty, represented by Miss Bessie Leonard. The singing of "The Good Old North State" by these girls was enough to stir any heart had it lain for a century dead. "The Old Field School" was ex cellent too and Mr. W. P. Huffman's hardware display, with the pretty lit tle lassies cooking at the big range, took with the crowd. The taste, in dividuality and energy shown in tne display generally were a credit to Hickory and to the civic pride of her people: A carriage containing Mr. J. D. Elliot, and with him all the for mer mayors of Hickory was a feature of the day. As the parade wound round the park, beautiful and fresh from the showers, through streets lined with stores from which floated flags, bunting, and every patriotic em blem, the scene was picturesque and' pleasing to a degree- Probably the window which deserv ed most praise was that of Mr. J. W. Shuford, furniture dealer. On one side was a very large engraving, i almost life-size, of the Father of his Country, opposite which was a facsim ile of the Declaration of Independ ence. Between was a statuette of an Indian, and back of all, noblest of all, the stately face and form of Robert E'Lee, with Confederate flags crossed above and below. After the parade there were foot races, bicycle races, etc. These were unfortunately interrupted by a serious attack of faintness on the part of young Mr. Emmett Moore, who fell from his bicycle. Mayor Elliott, the editors of the town and the visiting editors dined at the Charter House. The next thing was the tournament which took piace on the Woods road, near Claremont College. In this Mr. Fred Abernathy won first ; prize, Mr. Edgar Abernathey second 1 prize and Mr. Earle Ramseur third. The conclusion of the sports was a sham fight between the Red Men of the World and the National Guard, in which the latter won. This was terribly exciting, and we climed on fences and wagons, shouted ourselves hoarse and had creeps whenever a man wriggled in-an unusually bad way when he was shot. Yes, the Fourth was a big success. Miss Rufty With Ivey & Co. Miss Lola Rufty, of Statesville, has taken a position in the millinery de partment of J. B. Ivey & Co. Miss Rufty has had an extended experience in some of the important millinery es tablishments of the North and South and the high character of her work is well known in Charlotte. Messrs. Ivey & Co. are to be congratulated upon securing so valuable an acquisi tion to this important branch of their business." ?; - - Capt. WJLGrier,vt)f TampaFla., is visiting Mt-I P' Ross; J802 N.

Special to The News. , Union, S. C, July 4. The prosperity of Union county concerns and the suc ces with which-they are managed is splendidly illustrated by the fact that today there is sent put in semi-annual dividends the amount of $75,746, which, coming as it does in the midst of summer whon trade is ordinarily, ex pected to be dull, is most welcome to every one. , .'. Lockhart Cotoh Mills is the largest single contributor to the happiness caused by dividend paying time, for to day their dividend checks aggregated $36,975, which represents $19,650 on common stock and $17,325 on preferred stoc. The big new 50,00 spindle Lock-' hart Mill is completed so far as the building goes, and the machinery is now being installed and will be inoper atidn in a comparative short time. Monarch Cotton Mills comes next in the list, having paid a semi-annaul div idend of 3 per cent on both common and preferred stock, which amounted to $18,000. Monarch, during the past six months has had an exceptionally successful season, and its future pros pects are very bright. As on the 1st. instant the time limit expired when preferred, stock could be transeferred into common stock,; it is believed that the common stock will now become de cidedly the more valuable, for while having theis feature enabled money to be secured at 6 per cent where other mills were paying 7 per cent., it had a tendency to depress the stock, and the prospects now - are that the stock will mount up to considerable over par within the next six months. The Jonesville Mfg. Co., which this s"pring authorized the enlargement of its plant .pays 3 1-2 per cent, semi annual on its prefered stock, which amounts to $52,000, and its common $122,000, the total paying $6,090 in div idends. The Excelisor Knitting Mills, which. makes some 20,000 pairs of hose per day, paid out its semi-annual 3 1-3 per cent, dividend, amounting to $5,250. The Merchants and Planters' Nation al Bank, which for many years has been paying 6 ' per cent, semi-annual followed its usual custom by sending out checks for that, amounting to $3, 600. . J: . The Peoples Bank, Which practically since its organization several years ago has paid dividends semi-annually, today sent out checks to its stockhold ers the aggregate sum of $1800. The Hames Grocery Co-i which does a big wholesale business in this sec tion, will in tjie next few-days pay its 5 per eent.semi-amlual dividend,, which oh its. -capital' makes the dividend amount to $1,081. The Union Hardware Co., which is capitalized at $10,000: will this week pay its customary 5 per cent semi annual, which, as will be seen, amounts to $500. The Bank of Jonesville paid its reg ular 3 per cent, semiannual, which on its capital stock of - $25,000 amounts to $750. The Bank of Carlisle, another finan cial institution to rejoice the hearts of its stockholders by the payment of at 5 per cent, annual, the total of its dividends amounting to $500, besides laying aside a good -amount to surplus as it does yearly. ;. WELL POSTED. A California Doctors With 40 Years' Experience. "In my 40 years'- experience as a teacher and practitioner along hygienic lines," says a Los Angeles physician, "I have never found a food to compare with Grape-Nuts for the benefit of the general health of all classes of peo ple. I have recommended Grape-Nuts for a number of years to patients with the greatest success and every year's experience makes me more enthusias tic regarding its use. "I make it a rule to always recom mend Grape-Nuts and Postum Food Coffee in place of coffee when giving my patients instructions as to diet for I know both Grape-Nuts and Postum can -be digested by any one. "As for myself, when engaged in much mental work my diet twice a day consists of Grape-Nuts and rich cream. I find it just the thing to build up gray matter and keep the brain in good working order. . "In addition to its wonderful effects as a brain and nerve food Grape-Nuts always keeps the digestive organs in perfect, healthy tone. I carry it with me when I travel, otherwise I am al most certain to have trouble with my stomach." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich'. Strong endorsements like the abqve from physicians all over the country have stamped Grape-Nuts the most scientific food in airtfte world. "There's a reason."

There are very few persons even among those who would be shocked at being told that they were not well educated, who are not given to cultivating, perhaps uncon sciously, the vernacular of the street. This book has been written for the purpose of pointing . out common errors and slovenly speech in the hope that they will prove acceptable to, and that they will be read with in terest by all who desire to acquire re fined, diction, and to check the use of those vulgarisms which unfortunately spread only too rapidly from the street into the home. The book is arranged alphabetically so that its contents are convenient for immediate consultation. Its price is 75 cents. , : jl-sAH Good Samaritan Hospital Report.
