The two Sababauth schools ait Liberty combined last WVednesdaiy and enjoyed a picnic at Hunter's mill. I h.vcn't heat d how many ticks and chegreai were brought home as souvenirs. Thle return trip was marred by the sudden an~d se vere illness of Miss Calla Chapman, one of our moat popular younag ladies. I am glad to reor)it heor much better. Mrs. Meta Hunt accompanied her H. S. elaiss to Clemson last week. I like to see the teachers encouragiag their pu. pils in little innoccent diversions like this. Th'le graded school at this place opensl Monday. Miss Irene Clark will be on hand to take chargre of the music class RESPONDENTS. Miss Clark is very popular, and when she comes to our town you will notice the young men begin to slick up a little inore than usual. Of course. "Clevie," I may hava "fifty faunis to otliors olne" and I am glad you told me; but, "Clovie" dear, how in the world would there be any refornms made if iome one didn't expose, didn't point out the faults. I have got you, "Clevie," for there are others who seem to be stirred up over the same things. I ro cently noticed in the 8aturday Evening Post where a certain periodical had asked a young woman to dress herself very plainly and go to churches of various denominations, until she had attended 150 in all, to test two Points in church work One was "Strangers welcome," and the other to what extent the "average minister would roach out his hand to help her." So you see the minds of the great run in the samel channel. Some of these days Mr. Thompson will be wanting some one who dresses "plainly" to do some work for him on the reporting line, and I'll be the one, for my clothes are surei enough plain, but I'd have to take you "Clevie' to do the reporting, for I see signs of future greatuoss, and when 3 ou become a famous author I will feel proud to have been reproved by you. By the winy, let's each write a little story I'nd send it to the editor, to see if he will do as he advises others, "not, to send oil after things, taking the money away from home." Dou't you i eckon he'd say, "Pshaw! what stufT?" I was ieadmg the ottier day, when one of the children spoke up and said, "fn, what's the meaning of 'Sahu1a. gundi?'" Another little "smart alec" I said, "Why, that's just a short way of saying Sallie Montgomery." I was al most sure it wasn't in the dictionary, as I prided myself on knowing a whole heap of words. I thought perhaps it was one the editor had coined himself. However, I !uuted for it and found it, So when the subject was brought up again I said, "Now, I will tell you the meaning of the word you wished to know." To my surprise they all knew it; had hunted it up "on the sly." One of the preachers last week at the tent meeting said that he was "going to, heaven" at the rate of a thousand miles a minute. I thought that was pretty fast to travel on the "straight and nai iow path," and that if some of us slow travelers didn't watch out we would be run over. I think it best to take time to "add to your faith, virtue; to virtue, kno*ledge; to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience, Godliness, brotherly kindness, charity," etc. I hope "Clevie" won't think I am finding fault again, D nIIVAI,. in Memory of Little Clarence Gantt. On Thursday, 29tn ui. about 190a. m., the death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. WV. N. Gantt and claimed' the spirit of little Clarence, aged 4 years,' His sudden death was a shock to his parents; but weep not, dear parents, for we know lie is not dead, but lives wvhere inhere is no death. Only a bud trans. planted to bloom above. While it was sad to look on that dear little face the~ last here, let us think of meeting him somne day in the sweet bye and bye and say, "Tn'ie Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord." Is remains wvere laid to rest the day following i'i the Liberty cemetery. Rev. Bailey coniductedl the funeral services. We extend our sympathies to the be reaved family. Another little lamb has gone To dwell with Him who gave; Another little darling babe Is sheltered in tbe grave. God1 needed one more angel child Amidst His shinting hanid, And so He b~ent with loving smilo And clasped our darling's hand. - Lovm>) ONE. 1 will close my gallery from S'eptem-. ber 7th~ to Nov. 15th. E. M. Farmer. 15.16 Additional Locals. Have you seen the comet? It takes an early riser to see it. Last week was very hot but the nights were cool and pleasant. Get, up your books. The Pickena graded school opens next Monday. Whde the nights are a little cooler thu sun is as hot in the middle of the day as one could wish for. B. E.

Saturday was an unusually busy day in Pickens and for our merchants generally. Lots of people from the country were in town purchasing goods and the mill element was very much in evidence at the different stores. The Liberty Township Singing As. sociation will meet with Reunion Baptist church, two miles east of Liberty, the 3d Sunday in September 1907. Come one, coine all. Bring your song books and dinner. By or der P. C. Cartee. Pres. Pickens has not rushed her first bale of cotton on the market yet. Several towns in the state have al ready bought their first bales paying 13S cents therefor. This is about the price the entire crop should sell for nud should be held for that figure. Bolt & Co , the new druggists, have a new, clean, fresh up to-date line of drugs, patent medicines, sundries, toilet articles and prep iratione and have built up a good trade. Theih prescription, candy and soda water trade have gone beyond their expec tations. They are, all the time in a gentlcmnanly and legitimate way, reaching out for now customers, and they are succeeding fairly well in bringing new trade to Pickens. Should every business enterprise here try as hard to bring new trade to the town as they have we would certainly be a commercial centre to be proud of. C. E Robinson's building is done, and it is one of the prettiest little store rooms to be found anywhere. Tbe up-stairs has been partitioned off int > two rooms, the front one into an office to be occupied by Mr. Robinson, while the back room reached by a stair way from the rear of the store room, will be a storage room for surplus goods for the use of those occupying the store room. M1essrs Ashmore & Nimmons will occupy the building and are rnoving in and ar ranging their stock of goods this week. They have a nice stand, a pretty store anid a splendid stock of goods. Craig Bros. have a dessertation on "Thie Labor Problem" in this issue, and proves how the ecarcity of labor coupled with the high prices of same has been the means of many labor saving inventions being brought into practical use. The best labor-saving dlevice on the market to-day is the washing mrchine. This boon to wo muan breaks her chains at the wash tub, does awvay with tired backs, beadaches amnd all ills that a day spent at the wash-tub p~rodulce, and enables the washing to be done on time, keeps peaice in the family and1 allows the lord of creation to have
