Laurinburg does not celebrate
the Glorious Fourth' often,, and
when it decides to pull oft a cele
bration, there is no half-way,
tam a affair planned, and so this
"year it has been' definitely -decided
by a great number of the lead
in business men to celebrate
this year and to do it right.
Thero will be many interesting
features in -fact the whole day
will bo full of genuine celebra
tion spirit, (not spirits,, mind
yo-i) but the real patriotic, hust
ling, big. hearted, "friendly ob
servance of the day. -''
A program committee, is get
ting a full line of amusements to
gether, there will he a line band
of music dispensing lively airs all
day; contests of all kinds includ
ing a morning and afternoon
baseball j:'.rne, and other athletic
events.- Ail kinds of prizes and
awards will be given and to cap
the climax 'every business house
in town will be offering special
and attractive bargains, includ
ing every line of business repre
sented in the hustling, progres
sive town 01 .Laurinburg.
" It will not only be a big cele
bration .of a great day,1, but will
be Bargain Day in Laurinburg.
Don't make any arrangements to
celebrate anywhere but Laurin
burg, for Laurinburg proposes to
pall off a tig stunt and you will
miss a great occasion if yoa don't
come to Laurinburg on Monday,
July 5th. Watch the columns of

A pure white bud was gladden-

and fragrance, making it. pos-
Ecssion.. a wondering delight,
when God looked down upon it
with eyes of far seeing love, and
to the an gels he said "I will
pluck the bud and take it to my
breast lest a hint of storm or
blight" should mar its perfect
beauty," and calling the grim
angel called 'Death", Ho bade
him bring this flower to Him, and
hovering ever nearer and nearer,
trps angel messenger dreaded by
all and of ttimes God's messenger

You cannot imagine how glad
I was to ee the notice to the
cantaloupe growers published in
the last issue of your - paper. I
regard this move as one of the
most X important ; agricultural
events in the history of cur
county. There is no gainsaying
the fact that Scotland grows an
extra good quality of cantaloupes,
an$ is prepared to grow them in
abundance. It is a further fact
that the returns for these melons
have of ten been out'andishly dis
graceful. Several reasons could
safely be assigned for this the
two chief ones being improper
preparation for the market and
downright moral robbery on the
part cf too many commission
merchants not their local agents.
The men -who signed the notice
above referred to have gained a
true insight into the real condi
tion of affairs and have, like the
honorable men they are, pomtea graphed for and soon';
the way; and are ottering, tneirtfrom Florence, S. u,
help in doing entirely away with
theold and ruinous condition'of
affairs- and establishing in its
place a system of marketing that
will nieaii hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the cantaloupe grow
ers of' Scotland county. Lest us

Southern Railroad; has
since it began operations
eight years ago happened Satur
day morning ajt the south end of
the switch at the llcNair Phos
phate Company's plant.
The train, with Capt. J. MX
Paylor as conductor Mr. Sargent
as engineer and Mr. Troy Ray ss
fireman, on its return trip from
Johns, traveling about 12 milss
per hour, struck the switch at
the Phosphate plant, the switch
gave way, causing it to split and
the engine to take the switch
track and topple over; the bal
ance of the train remaining on
the main line. "
The engine on tho fireman's
side was badly broken and splin
tered, and through good fortune
and quick action, Mr. Ray, the
fireman, escaped injury by j limp
ing to the engineers side of the
cab. That no one was injured
was a miracle, and especially .is
this true of Mr. Ray.
A wrecking crew was tele-
arrived
and byr
working until Sunday morning at,
5 o'clock, had the wreckage clear
ed away. Traffic on the road
was ' stopped only daring Satur
day. Only about 100 feet of. th
track was tern up and put out of
'commission. . . ' -"
Tha disabled engine v as car
