TRIP TO UP-COUNTRY. Having been sick for about eight -v months and recovering sufficiently for a much needed outings Thursday \ of last week we left here going via of Columbia to Spartanburg where we met up with that genial gentleman, (Mr. Hester, proprietor of tne Argyie Hotel, who is a great host. After a sumptuous tea we repaired to the lobby to chat about the famous and growing city of Spartanburg, which has grown wonderfully in its manufacturing and business enterprises during the past few years. To. day it is one of the most popular and thrifty cities of the up-country. Our stay in the Spartan City was so brief that We cannot give our readers even a bird's-eye view of its many embellishments, as we left on the early morning train for Greenville. At Greenville we were met and entertained beyond expression by our friend, Mr. John Brandon, who is a wholesoul fellow, and his kindness and hospitality was unbounded. We were conveyed oyauto over various districts of this .thriving business and . manufacturing city, which is one of the best in the State, which the exhibits at the "big horse show" a few weeks ago evidenced. We would not attempt to give ner growm m m?uufacturing and business enterprises 8'nee our last visit twelve years ago. Her elegant and large stores are lavishly filled with everything in the mercantile line. Greenville has always been known as an educational centre and has an urbane and highly coltnred citizenship. The business men are kind and courteous and ardaous in business pursuits. It is indeed a busy city. In the residential districts we found palatial and commodious residences situated on beautiful streets, which are sanitary and np to-date in every phase of a progressive city. Sunday we motored out to Piedmont a little city by the Saluda twelve miles below Greenville. This is quite a , noteworthy little town with a population of about three thousand. Especially did we note the fine crops between Greenville and Piedmont on our return to Greenville. Corn and cotton crop9 are looking fine. The foliage of the verdure fields and the 'gentle summer breezes soothingly greeted the passerby. We could almost see the lightning bugs and hear the "Sweet Whippoorwill Song." We could not leave Greenville without shaking the hand of our venerable friend Col. Geo. R. Koester, publisher of the Greenville Evening Piedmont. His familiar laugh is the juvenescence for an old man, at any rate, i9 good xfor one with indigestion. A man of his characteristics and tempermament could not do otherwise than giye Greenville her deserts in journalism, i "Uncle Josh" wishes him continued success. Monday evening in the moonlight j we had a most delightful auto ride out to the Southern Power plant on I the Saluda river which furnishes "juice" for the city of Greenville. To say we enjoyed our visit is expressing it mildly. We were glad to get there and loath to leave. G. M. H. ????? Still An Old Bacbelor. While in Grei-nville last week it was ? indeed a pleasure to xneei uur \JiSJ. I friend and kinsman. John McCracken, | who has accumulated some property | there and is doing well for an old fellow In fact he is second chief of Stadier'9 Hill. He is still an oid bachelor and is as genial and clever as of yore, sits on his porch and cheerfully whistles, '"Hard Times Come No More." The Markets. Lexington,?Cotton, middling, 12c. Sayamah.?Turpentine 3r?c. j On His Return. Brooks J. Wingard, the eldest son of our citizen, Col. J. Brooks Wingard' who is the regularly appointed private secretary to Congresman Lever, but was granted a leave of absence from his duties as secretary in order that he could tour Europe as secretary to the rural credits commission is now on his return to this country. We received a postcard from him mailed at Paris. " Brooks" is one of our home boys who is winning fame for himself. He graduated at the University of South Oarolina and studied law at Georgetown University of Washington and is bound to make a usefu man. A. T. Mack Dead. Albert Taylor Mack, a son of Dr. B. S. Mack, of Leesville and brother of M?. P. J. Mack, died in Birmingham, Ala., at the home of a married sister who resides there, on last Thursday. His remain? were brought to Leesville accompanied by his brother, Mr. P. J. Mack, andintered in the cemetery at that place Saturday. He was about nineteen years old, a clever young man and had mauy friends. He was guard on the chaingang of this county when Capt Mack had charge and was well liked by our people. The cause of his death was meningitis. Jacebs Second Inquest The inquiry, or second inquest, consuming two days brought out little ' ? ^ *Viek TooaKc fro crc*r\ r I1CW IbblilXlUU V ciS IV luou awvu . The verdict of the second hearing is that of the first j nry: ' 'During the nigh t of June the 27th the said deceased persons came to their death at the hands of a party or parties unknown to this jury.'' The death of the family is still unexplained. What, if any, will be the next step in the investigation is not known. Magistrate Frick dismissed the jury subject to call and this may indicate a possible further inquiry later. , A Good Selection. We learn that Mr. G. Heber Ballentine, who recently graduated at Newberry College, has been eleoted principal of Little Mountain high school for ensuing session. He is a bright young man who has attained success under difficulties and we predict a iuture for him untold. A Good Place To Stop At.

My back ached severely, I was tired and languid and often became nervous. Headaches and dizzy spells were common and my sight was affected. The kidney secretions caused me no end of annoyance.
