It will be held on November the 17, 18, 19. South Carolina will also be represented by large delegation. Judge Wm. T. Gary is do ing some effective work in . purifying the social and polit ical atmosphere of Augusta. With the press, the pulpit and the bench all up and doing there is yet hope for our neighboring city, for whose welfare Edgefield hassan abid-1 ing interest. Gov. Hey ward is making a splendid record in refusing to grant pardons indiscriminate ly and in his constant endeavor to-enforce the laws as he has sworn to do. He has been a| terror to the blind tigers and now he is after the lynchers, having offered $500 reward for the apprehension of the murderers of Dennis Head who was killed in Aiken coun ty near the Lexington line some days ago. "The morality of the young j men of this country is just as j high as the young women de mand/ ' was uttered recently from a city pulpit. Every reader of these lines can tes tify to the truth of this state ment. If the young men of a given community are openly intemperate and lead disso lute lives it is because the young women of that com munity sanction, in a sense, such conduct b y tolera ting it. Would that the purity of life that is required of them. Until this is done there will always exist two standards of morals. Noth ing would so restrain a young man as to know that should he engage in certain vices or questionable pastimes h i s young lady friends, whose es teem he courted, would with draw social fellowship from him. The morals of the young men of any communi ty, [even of Edgefield, are largely what the young wo men make them. CENTRE SPRING ?ICNIC. A Glorious Victory for the Dra-| goons-All Honor to Them.; "And pity 'tis 'tis true" that the Centre Spring picnic is not to be but has been. Look ing forward has given place to looking backward. Thous ands of pleasant anticipations, t f many months standing, have been fully realized and are now cherished as fond recollections. Friends who for years have travelled in di verging paths were brought together ; relatives whose lots have been cast miles apart were clasped in each others fond embrace ; lovers whose Hps had uttered protestations bf affection plighted anew their troths and bashful,blush ing lads and lasses whose hearts had for the first time felt the indescribable thrill and heaven-born bliss of Cu pid's first touch were afford-1 y ed a trysting place in this the . crowning social event of the year. These oc?asions, of ?j which the 15th annual picnic was the chiefestamong them, h have become to many a social)1 necessity. Scarcely before last Thurs-11 day morning's sun had clear-[l ed the eastern hills hundreds of representative people of all j ? ages had set out upon their J J annual pilgrimage to this shrine of pleasure, known as Centre Spring, all with light and happy hearts. And their most sanguine expectations were realized, for every one of this gallant troop-from the worthy and honored Capt. John R. Blocker down to those who share not the hon ors of chevrons and epaulettes -seemed to regard himself, individually and personally,as ?inn . in-"Y-mn mOli ? 1 ? > <?m. 'he hosti With this aggrega tion of fifty hosts to receive and entertain the guests, is there any wonder that all went smoothly and as merry as a marriage bell ? Nature, in abundantly bless ing this ideal rendezvous for pleasure seekers, furnished the green canopy of dense foliage that paried the fury of ths sun's rays, also the re freshing breezes and the crys tal fountain-Centre Spring that sent forth in abundance living water that quenched the thirst of the throng, but the Dragoons furnished th*; sweet strains of music that met a responsive chord in every heart and the bounteous re past that strengthened and re stored the exhausted inner man. Furthermore, the Dra-j goons furnished the good cheer, the unbounded, unal loyed hospitality which was in truth, the very heart, soul and spirit of the occasion. The music was dispensed by a band from Augusta, the best procurable, and dinner, the like ot which in quantity or quality is seldom seen, was the most delightful that has ever been served upon the Centre Spring tables. It was well cooked, well seasoned, well served and the supply was inexhaustible, Many of the fifty odd carcasses and gallons of the hash had not been touched after every mouth had been satisfied. If .any guest went away hungry tne fault lies at his door and lis not chargeable to the com pany. The Dragoons very thought fully and generously bade the Confederate veterans, all who would come, to be their guests ]of honor. Each one was tagged with a purple badge which was an open se same to the dinner, refresh ment stand and pavilion. These old veterans-God bless them, every one of them were made very happy and enjoyed the day as much as the gay youngsters, with whom joy was unconfined. The dance, in which many feet-some small and graceful, j others large and clumsy-en gaged and on which many ad miring eyes gazed, was the feature of the day. The con gested and suffocated, seeth ing and perspiring, sweltering and melting mass of charm and danced till the sweet strains o f "Home . Sweet Home" brought rest to the weary limbs and tired forms. The fourteenth annual pic nic has passed into history and many are the words of praise and condemnation that the Dragoons are receiving upon the signal success ot this brilliant social function. All honor to them and may their achievements for 1904 be even greater ! JOHNSTON. Happenings of Interest from Our Neighboring Town, Mr. W. T. Walton, our success full farmer, says the pecan ib his tree, ?nd that iu future wherever he finds space to plant a tree it will be a pecan. Its nuts are superior to any and in point of beauty it stands unrivalled. A few days since we saw a check for forty-eight dollars and eighty two cents received in payment for twenty-six crates of perches. Quite a number of our citizens are newly enthused on the fruit industry and expect to put out more plums and peachna. M-. and Mrs. M. D. Williams have sold their pretty home in East Johnston and will move into their town residence another year. We have heard that Messrs.

Mr. and Mrs. George Lott and , ?hildren, of Augusta, will spend a oonth with their parents, Mr. and . Hrs. G. W. Lott. The farmers meeting was a i [lowing, and we trust lastiug sue- i ess. This fact was evinced by thy 4 hree hundred or more of our ci ti- <? ens assembling in the Institute 2 wilding on the 24th inst, to listen 4 0 addresses by Dr. Nesom and e 'rofu88ors Newman and Daniels, g rom Clemson college. The meet- ^ ig was opened with praye ? by the e iev. P. B. Graut and after a few c smarks of welcome by Mr. P. N. s .ott, was turued over to the Clem- j, jn professors. 0 Dr. Nesom discussed forage r? rop3, and growing b'?ef cattle var is cotton growing and commercial ?rtilizsr, in an able and practical ay, aud cited instances showing th?t home made1 fertilizer paid beBt: Prof. Newman's address was both interesting and instructive to the fruit grower?. Prof. Darnels' talk on Industri al Education gave us new and brilliant idea? on what constitutes an education. All seemed delighted with our country and pronounced it the garden spot of the world and this tact is practically demonstrated by the luscious grapep, peaches and melons to be had for the gath ering. Our oil mill ran a few days dar ing the past week under the man agement of Mr. Jas. A. Richard son, and turned into oil, meal and hulls about forty tons of seed. It has closed down for the season. Mr. Haltiwauger aud family have returned from a month's stay in Saluda, where he has fixed up the mill at that place. Miss Flora Lott, now of Colum bia, is visiting her father.
