To our Many Sympathizing Friends: Libe Nbobe of old, Gainesville, Georgia's Queen City, sits weeping, for her children.

Out of the plouds of gloom and satd ness with which we are surrounded, however, a voice has conme, bidding us be0 of good cheer. G.~eorgia's great heart has responded nobly to oir call for aid and from pity an hafmlet letters of sympathy, bearing evidences of the brotherhood of wian, in thep shape of obecks and drafts have come to feed the hnngry, relieve th6suffer ing ad bury the dead.

A full amount of the interesting proceedings of Wednesday last will be found elsewhere in our columns. But the account of the day would be incomplete without at least a run. ning account of the baseball game between cines made up from K. of F's. from Pickens and Easley lodgos. An immene crowd witnessed the game, which was intensely interest ing. It was a friendly contest from be ginning to end, and if there were any "scraps" we never h6ard of them. It may be that there was a strong depire for a "kicking machine" by the Easley team at the conclusion of the game --a sort of automatic self kicker after the model of a "Schnapps" machine. The Kasley team caine up on the 2:40 train, arrayed in their uniforms, and were a formidable looking team to go up against, and they had every appearance of being the "eat 'ei up" kind. In fact it has been hinted that the Pickens "sluggers" became a lit tle shaky in the knees at, first sight of the Easley team. But the game is called. Umpire, LaBoon. Battery for Eisley, Calla. ham and Davis; for Pickens, Ash. more and Bivins. Scorer, Ohess Smith. 'imn, limited to drrk. Un. piro Ldpoou gave command to "play balli" 10' kons, a little dubious, comes to the pat. Calliiham, Easley's pitcher, wais wild and easily batted. In this inning, Magisftat@ John F. Harris, the Pickens heavk.ight batter, knocked the ball out of sight literally into the woods. Four rounds were scored in this inning, and the Easley pennant began to trail in the dust. Easloy to the bat. Ashmore pitch. ed hard, speedy ball. An Eisley man standing fifty feet from the pitcher declared he could hear the ball whizzing, and that he saw some. thing like a blue streak in the t::ail of every ball. WVe cannot go into detail of every inning. Callaham, Davis, Johnson an-1 Gontry starred for Easley; Ash more, Bivins, Harris, Folger and Alexander for Pickens. Bivins rolled up the biggest score of any individual player on the field, having four' rounds to his credit. It is said that Folger, who is usually very indiff'er emnt about a game of baseball at any time, positively "suffered enjoyment" oni this occasion. Competent jud .;es say the game was won by Ashimore's swift pitohing, and lost to Easloy by Callahamn's wveak pitching. It is psitively as sorted by eye-witnesses that many of the balls pitched by Calibham actu ally had whiskers brfore they reached the batter, and thus retarded the speed of what might otherwise have been a swift ball. Soore-10 to 4, in favor of Pickens. To say the least of it, the game was intensely inter'estintg, and the young men of Easloy and Pickens were thoughtful in arranging the game for the entertainment of the large crowd of poople in town oni that (day. Pickens is awaiting a challenge from the Easley teamn for a second game of a series to be played during the summier. It is rumored that Easley will be thoughtful enough next game to provide themselves with solid hats, nine hamper baskets .of varying sizes, and an equal number of tar buckets. Old1 sotlers' Day. When the bright summer suinshine of last W~ednesday (a perfect summer day) b~roke oveor the hills and a little later thIe people began to come from every quarter to do tribute to the grandest soldiery that ever marched against enemy, the people of Pickens realized that the biggest day of the year was upon themt. Andl ivell (1id these people respond to every call made upon them to give substantial expression to their ininate hospitality, for thbey had been arouised to the immense proportions of the day and they left nothing undone to make the day a success But it is to the ladies of the Daugh hers of the Confederacy that is due the grand success of this memorial (ay. They worked and stinted not, and the dlay closed a revelation to every thinking naan in Pickenls. The crowd was so large, so much greater than was expected, that there was some unavoidable dlelay in start. tng the program, but at about 10 o'clock the procession formed at the depot headed by the Liberty Band and followed by the school children and the assembled veterans and a large crowd of spectators,. and pro. coeded to the coutrt house whbere the veterans wore comnforta~bly seated, and ajs mvany others as could crowd in were accommodated. Uarring a slight delay, tlle exercih ses commenced das fixed by program. Reov. J. E. Foster opened thedy' program with a touchinig and im. prespiye prayer asking God's mercy upon the veterans and invoking God's aid In t'iat greater cause that will never be lost to the soldiers enlisted under the leadership of Christ-the Captain of our Salvation. He prayed for the success of the day and moyedl the peop~le by lijs egrneat L IUpal fow the continued guidapnge of th l Noly Spirit. C0l. J. A. Hoyt, of Greenville, wvas the honored guest of the Veterans andl his speech wvas a ipasterly prei sentation of the soldierly qualties of the Confederan nliline.-th netiwatg of''o to% anid in th~o lb~~ h id a glowiig tribete tht#rese amp. ton that elicitd t ppladse thati carried the thoughta, on ack to the tihne'when soie Of tiem followed that intrepid leader In war and .re oilled - his lasting. sorvices through the days of reeonstrooidon and te the representative of hi4 people in the highest council of the. nUtlon. Col. Hoyt's speech was a ohasth and eloqoent one, and it reached 'th( heart of every old veteran and mA&d the younger people approlato anid understand how and why, in som( measure, their fathers fought so well, and their mothers endured, without complaining, the hardships of war. General M. L. %onhatn, of A.nder. son, was the representative on thi occasion of the Daiehters of the Con federacy. It is impossible to do jup tice to his eloquent address whi. I came, as he took occasion to say him self, hom 'the very fulnemi of hli heart. Gentral Bonham is a mos earnest and impressive speaker, ani warming up to the full appreciatio of his theme, he spoke words of truth picturing the works of the soldiers o the Southern army saying that theil achievements will live because they fought for living principles they were men of our own countri and not the hired minions of a gov ernment with unlimited resourcei backed by the nations of the world General Bonham's address will bt remembered by all who had the pleas ure of hearing it. It is a matter to be regretted tha the other speakers on the progran were not present. We do not koev the'auses of their absence but knov that it was a disappointment tha they were not here-a disappoint ment shared especially by the Daugh ters who planned and carried these exercises through an an addition t< the plans of the veterans themselves Two features of the exercises, no printed in the program were the ad dress of welcome by Mr. W. T. Me Fall, Intendant of Pickens, attende< by the waving of white flags by twi little girls, indicating that the towt had surrendered to the veterans ami the visitors, and the reading of somi original verses by a lady of Pickens entitled "The Old - Canteen," whiel were most, appropriate to the occa Sion: "Awake awake, the old canteet, Vroma its long and quiet sleep; We want It to Mingle witih the scone While Menoriel nay we keep. - - Wipujids may be fo V.i 1)"I, 'lloiffe'ie&RA10o the brim: From soine far away spring or rn, Before tMe battle did begir, To the old canteen we hold Th'ioughi rntsty worn itud bent; It tells of a life rave and bold Whetn mother's boy dreamed beneath a teni This old, ugly, knotty string *4 Trels of at hstoulder true and strong, Uon which the old cantteen could swing When the march was hard atid long.

The benediction was nlot said, how~ ever, before the annouueeenlt wiy~ made that, at the tap of the drumi cvery veteran was expected to coim< to 'The Sentinel Jour'ial building where the ladies had pre'pared bountiful dinner. The old soldiori were not only expected but urged t< come, and they wore fed as best the) could be attended to b3 loving hande who sought, by thtso intentions, t, honor them. During these exercises, the Libert' Band, undler the most efficient lead ership of Mr. James E. Parsons, dis coursed sweet m1usie wvhich added t< the pleasure of the occasion, and gav< to the program an air of recreatioi an~d enjoymienlt. In tile afternoon the local ~K. o P's. played the Easley K. of P's. mi game of baseball whichm resalted in score of 10 to 4 in favor of Pickens The game was witnessed by an imn mense crowd of people. It wasl aI big day iln PiQIkens and the ladies deserve and receive th< credit for it all. There wass no boisterous condtct no disorderly conlduct and a spirit o: good feeling pervaded the entir4 orow'd.
