With the copious showers of late and ' plenty of sunshine, -verything of a green nature is growing fast and looking well. Well, the little place of Norris is no longer to be a broad place in the road, but hereafter is to be styled a town. It has been incorporated, with Enos Tate as! intendent, and J. C. Garrett, E. C. McWhorter, W. R. Johns-' ton and Dock Newton as war-' dens. L. P. Moser is the mar shal, with W. Maddox as his assistant. . They have been making it hot for the trans gressors. One coon caught a freight train to steal a ride. He was caught and fined $3; released on the promise to pay the fine in so ma ny -days. When time was ip the marshal went to collect the fine, the coon refused to pay it, and marshal went to arrest him,i when coon showed fight, and did fightlike a bulldog. After sro long(. a time-- coon was landed in guardhouse aid marshal left with one shirtsleeve and a very sore arm. Coon was given a sentence of $103 or 36 days. Up to time of this writing, coon is still in guard house, with a cheap pencil and a piece of . aste board, figuring whether to take -an appeal or take the dvs. Warren Hopkins, of C(en tral, killed a stork a few days ago I;bat measured 5 feet and some .inches from tip to tip to tip of whinigs. Mr. Hopkins is a gnod shot. Hencry Rampey. of Cateochee, was fooling with a dynamite cap a few days ago, when it ex ploded and took off his thumb and a part of his forefinga,-r. As 3-Jenry could not work, he went nut. walking to pas away the -ime and to forget the pain of his hand, when all at once a rattesnake with 16 rattles and a button asked him to fight or r1n. Henry replied that he had but one hand, but that he came not of the stock to run. So the light took place and Henry caime out on top. Dr. Woodruff now carries the scalp Henry raised from his snakeship-16 rattles. A small child of Mr. and Mrs W. J. Rimpey, of Cateechee, dlied a few days ago and was buried from Cam p Creek church, Rev.W. C Seaornconducting1 the funeral service. It wvas a bright little child of 10 months and the idol of its parents. They have our heartfelt sympathies. * A small child of Mr. a .id Mr's. iPierce Waters, of Sentrea, died there a few days ago and was brought to this place. It was buried at Flat Rock, below Lib erty, the next (lay. The Cateechee ball team play ed the Enon lball team near France Rogers' last Saturday evening. The game resulted 5 to 0 in favor of Cateechee. The Cateechee boys never practice only ,on Saturday evenings. However, they play well. We have heard of gospel wig .vams, tents and all other kinds: of coverings for holding divine wvorship, b~ut the latest thing *out along this lino is a patent John James, of Central, has gotten up. Any man of brains and a small amouint of capital can, of course, build one, but ve have it f rom good authority that John -will proscoute any one in] terfering with his rights. It is built out of forks, pine poles and cotton bagging. For further information,, apply to John. Well, as "Bonnie Blue Eyes" knows so much obout the bo quet that was given to the "Old Bachelor," she nust have been one of the girls that gathered the tiowers. Ha! ha! If we mistake not that is the first let ter ever prepared by "Bonnie Blue Eyes"for the press, and as young as she is we feel under obligation to commend her. She is mighty sweet, anyway. Come out, candidates, and lot the votbrs know who you are and what you want. Rumor has It that Norris has one aspirant for the legislature, who has it under deep considerotion.' If he de cides to run and is elected (and we believo he will be), Pickens county will be taken ca re of so far as he is concerned. We hope he will decide to run. We hope the Democratic Ex ecutive Committee will give the Cateechee voters a chance to hear the candidates some Sat urdayay lafternoon. They,have no chance otherwise. T. M. Norris is erectino a nice up-to-date residence at Central, where he expects to move next winter. Haiby Mize, of Cornelia, Ga., visited at Mrs. P. Wliten's last week. Mrs. G. F. Norris is on d visit to her father and mother, Dr. and Mrs. Rigell, of Batesburg. Born, unto Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Locke, a fine boy. Mother and baby are on a visit to Mrs. L.'s father and mother' Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Huckabee, of Nor ris. Mr. Locke is in the mer cantile business in Greenville. Aaron Terrell, of Carnesville, Ga., is visiting his sister, Mrs. P. Whiten, of Norris. Rev. Boiters, who held a tent meeting here sonie time ago an(d went from here to Libeity, is hack in Cateechee with his tent. We~ have been requested to say that C. Durham is captain and H. C. Herrin general man ager of the Cateechee ball team. Anyone wanting to confer with them can do so by addressing them at Cateechee. The boys at Cateechee who' constitute the brass band hv caught on to the hang of the horns, and can now make the hair rise on any old soldier's head. Jas. Parsons has been: their teacher. Anyone who knows Jim knows what he can do with a musical instrument of any kind. B. Chgjrles S. Capen is a school-' ieacher in Boston. He celebrat ed his 84th birthday a few days ago. He has'- been a teacher 63 years, and in 67 years he has not missed a day from attend ance upon his duties. In recog nition of this remarkable record he has been rewvarded. The board of education has given him a silver medal worth about 60 cents. Democratic Executive Committee 1 Meetinq. Pickens, S. C., July 4, 1908. Pickens .

As I haven't writeiu to you Or some1 time, I will give you a ew itemis from Pearidge. Health good an(d crops look lng line. We are, however, having too nuch rain. It has been raining oiwo weeks, and we have ome grass; but if the stin will ;hine a few day.; we will soon ix it. They have the best crops on J, M. Childress' place that were .ver known for the time of year'. Riley Porter has tlie finest piece of cotton on Pearidge. W. H. Coleman is the proud ast man on Pearidge. Last l'hursday morning I heard him whistling and singing as If nothing ever bothered him, and inquiring why he felt so good, was Informed that there was a new baby girl at his house. I noticed in last week's paper where one of your correspond Bnts asked something about "Red Rose." Roses came and roses have gone, but something has come I like better. Peaches and apples are In, and I like them a great deal better, I have some for some for myself and some for you, If you will only come over. I think I will have some watermelons, too, after a bit. If you will come over In about three weeks I will give you-one weighing between 60 and 70 pounds. REn Rona. No Such Good Luck, Gentlemen. C There is a persistent rumor being circulated in the town of Pickens to the effect that the editor of this paper was going to move to Ninety-Six, S. C., to run a paper, one person we have heard of going so far as to as sert that the family of the editor was going on the ne train and that the editor would pack up his office and belong ings and go as soon as he could get away. We do not like for people to miake mistakes. or misrepte! sent facts, knowingly, and If these people who are so Infer nally interested in the move ments of the editor, or his fam ily, will come to headquarters for information we will treat them with all the courtesy that they are entitled to a'.d cheerful ly answer Lny and all questions pertaining to our movements and go into the minutest .details of our business with them, even as to, so far as we can, map out what we expect to d'o for the nux ; ten years, if we are per m.tted to live so long. No ,use to makre a misstate men or give a garbled report, when you can get a correct one just for the asking. Who will be the first to make inquiry? Pickens-R F D 2. The people of this section are still alive and active; fine crops adorn the hills and valleys, and. it seems that nature has pro vided luxury in abundance. Plenty of fruits of every kind, and the watermelon problem looks very favorable. Several from about here took advantage of the cheap rates and made a very pleasant visit to the grand old "City by the Sea," during the last few days. We invite all who have not been to go, for there is plenty to be seen on such a trip. Cadets Claude Boroughs and Calvin Garrett, of Clemson, are spending their vacation at their homes. C. R. Abercrombie has a very sick child. It is about time for the sum mer schools ,to begin, and we wish that each one may put forth their best efforts to have a good school, not only this sum mer, but all the time. If we could have longer terms and good teachers -in the prepara tory schools, boys and girls would not have such a hard time when they entered a higher school. We ought to -study about these thin-gs more, and, you know, when we have learned "to think," we have made a great start. Best wishes to all. SUBsCRIBER. A beauty cure that is engag ing the attention of fashionable society is the milk cure, and its only fault is that it is ridicu lously cheap for. a cure adopted by f ashionable society. Milk is rubbed into .the face at night with a piece of soft linen 'and al lowed to dry, and in the morn ing the face is washed in milk, but no soap must be used. Skin regularly washed in milk is de clared to be proof against sun buhrn.
