July Fourth Celebration by Negro Excursionists Ends Quietly
Several hundred African Americans attended a July 4 excursion from Chester Richburg Fort Lawn and other L and C stations. They enjoyed a day of public speaking games dancing and a brass band at Massey’s Monumental Park with no arrests. Late night gunfire during departure injured Sam Lorton a black man, shot by a stray bullet potentially from the on board youths. The dispen sary’s closure aided orderly conduct and whites praised the event.

State Board Tightens Transmittal Checks Policy
The State board of directors approved a new policy requiring all dispersing transmittal checks to be certified by the treasurer. Some previously sent personal checks proved worthless. A large herd of cattle near Bennetsville is reported diseased and a veterinarian is requested. Over 17 million dollars have been added to endowments for American colleges and universities in the past year, while over 6 million dollars were spent on buildings and equipment.
