? Mr. W. B. Creight is crecting an

is an enterprising gentleman, and we
wish him much success in his new undertaking.
?Mr. W. Herbert Ruff, of Ridgewav
has been appointed assistant su-!
pervisor of registration vice Mr. O. W.;

?A business man who disregards
the virtue of newspaper advertising
cannot compete with his enterprising
neighbor who places his business before
the people every day or week in
the year through the colums of his
home paper.
The bnvs. when the erirls 'so back I
on' them, inform each other of the catastrophe
by saying: "I 'got left"'.
We judge from the frequent usage of
the expression at the picnic on Tuesday
that a good many of the boys had j
been "left".

?Fire flies and katydids have made
their appearance in small numbers,
which is considerably earlier than usual.
It is said to indicate the near approach
of a iieated term, but this is not
in accordance with Veunor's predictions,
who says we will have frost on
the 20th of this month.
?Don't fonret to register. There
are about five thousand voters in this
county, and as it takes from three to
five minutes to register each one, no
time should be lust. Experience at
the treasurer's office on the last few
days of collecting taxes, should teach
voters to hurry up.
?At *he last meeting1 of the steam
fire engine company it was resolved to
have a hot supper on the night of the
second Tuesday in June. It was also
decided to purchase more lanterns for
the use of the company in case of fire.
The style of hat to complete the new |
uniform was chosen.
?About one hundred and fifty acres
of small grain, chiefly oats, will be harvested
within the corporate limits of
"Winnsboro this year, and the yield will
be very gratifying. It is predicted that
several acres will average more than
seventy-five bushels of oats each. In
past years most of this land was devot-1
ed to cotton.
?The Gordons have decided to accept
the invitation extended to them by
the Hornet Next Rifle Company of Charlotte,
provided they can secure twentysix
men. We hope they will succeed
in raising the number, for they will be
sure to have an elegant time, being
the guests of so admirable an organization
as the Hornets.
?For the benefit of parties interested
we wlli state that the fond raised
last fall for purposes of defence is still
on hand, subject 30 the call of the County
Committee; but as it was raised for
county purposes, the County Chairman
deemed it best to keep it on hand for
local contingencies, and for that reason
issued the special call in response to
the appeal of.the State Committee for
the general fund.
?We are indebted to Mr. T. Hines
Coleman, of this county, for an invitation
to attend the anniversary exercises
of the National Deaf Mate College in j
Washington, D. C. Mr. Coleman is j
one of the orators of the day, the sub-1
ject being "Contributions from the
New World to the Old." From other
sources we learn that Mr. Coleman has
taken a very prominent stand and will
graduate among the first in his class.
?Thanks are returned for an invitation
to attend a picnic excursion in
celebration of the fiftieth business year
of the well known and enterprising
firm of Walker, Evans & Cogswell.
This firm was established in 1832 by
the late Joseph Walker, and has come
flown mirtfM* soveral clian?res of ]iarne
and partuers to the present time.
Messrs. Harvey Cogswell and C. Irvine
Walker, the present partners, deserve
great credit and abundant success for
their enterprise and business capacity.
Mav they both live to celebrate the
centennial.

The Teachers' Association*.?This
association has failed, from bad weather
or other causes, to have a meeting
on the last two appointments. Another
effort will be made. Finding that
the appointment of Friday does not secure
an increased attendance, it has j
been decided to cull the next meeting I
on the third Saturday in this month j
(May). It is hoped that the members
will attend, and that all teachers not
already enrolled will ''join the baud."
The State Normal Institute meets in
Columbia this year in August, aud
Fairfield teachers should begin to jre: j
ready to attend. Come to Winusboro j
on the third Saturday in May and talk
about it.

Parade and Picnic at Peargon's Rock?A
Charming Day.
The Gordon Light Infantry celebrated
their anniversary on Tuesday by a
parade, target shooting and a picnic at
Pearson's Kock. The town generally
was invited to attend, and the invitation
was as generally accepted. From
; an early hour wagons and private con
| veyances began conveying the ladies
out to the grounds, and at about half
| past nine o'clock the Gordons themselves
marched out presenting a very
soldierly appearance, the result of careful
drilling, showing that they ha\e
lost none of the esprit de corps that has
distinguished them from their organization.
Arriving at the grounds the
target shooting began and wascontinu
ed for several hours. The following is

This feature was watched with interest
bv a large number of spectators;
j while many of the younger people I
amused themselves in dancing on the
extemporized plarform, or in cosy tetei
a-telex beneath the spreading trees.
| Pearson's Rock is a picturesque spot,
| and has been for years the resort of
| walking and picnic parties, and if the
; massive pile of ro*k had a tongue it
j could betray many secrets not onlv of
i the present generation but of their prej
decessors.
After the contest had been decided,
TSy
p
and a solitaryv squirrel on a -lofty r-ak
had been brought down bv a fusillade
of shots, the Gordons and their
iruests were ready for dinner.
Two long tables, spread beside the
running stream, filled with substantial* 1
and delicacies administered to physical '
comfort, but so great was the profit- .
sion that despite the efforts ut all pre.?-1'
ent. and especially ot the noted gastro- ]
noini-t> of town, a large number of ,
baskets wore left unopened, as a re- (
serve, for which, however, there appeared
no necessity. After dinner the
older memoers01 me j>:in;. uuii-.jimi*
surveyed ilie scene, while (lie younger
memhei. again called into requisition
tiie riddle and the triangle, anil danced
with a will. The still .-mailer speci- .
mens of humanity of the masculine
gender amused themselves climbing
trees, rolling down liill and otherwise
disporting themselves in amusements
hazardous to neck or limb. Everybody l ,
hud a good time and nobody was hurt.
Aj the close of the day the Gordon*

prizes, which were delivered by (.'apt.
M. A Gaiilard in a t'rw well expressed
remarks, in the course of wfiieh he
complimented the company on its
soldierly bearing. and expressed the ,
hope that the time will never come (
when a martial spirit shall die out
among the people. (Japt. \V. G. Jordan

MJTTEKS AT OAKLAXD.
A Way I>?tlval?Farming; Operation*,
Politic*, Etc.
Messrs. Editors: Allow us space in
your columns to report a pleasant day '
spent with the Oakland School in a
May festival and picnic. This school,
now under the paternal care of Maj.
B. H. IJol>ertson, decided to have a
May festival and picnic on the oth inst. 1i
The stage was arranged under the
spreading branches of two large oaks,
and whs beautifully decorated with '
evergreens and flowers from the woods I
and the flower gardens. Two beautiful
arches spanned the stage; one in
front and the other just over the throne
of the queen.
At eleven o'clock the school was
formed with "Flora" and her little 1
flower girls at the head; next the *
maidsot honor; next the garland bear- ;
er, the crowner and the pole bearers
with the queen; her devoted little
^ - ?ii- t :
subjects came nexr?an wiui ueauiuiu j
flowers to do honor to their queen. (
Miss Dixie Yongue ^ as made queen,
but I must not mention names, as all 1
were pretty and did their parts well, t
A m re lovely and beautiful collection ,
of girls cannot he imagined. This
school can boast of as many real down t
pretty girls as any school in the coun- <
ty, or perhaps even more.
After the . coronation, the young
folks, and old ones too, repaired to the; <
eflinnl.hnnse. where the vounsr Oliesi 1
engaged in dancing until dinner was:
announced. Here a table, large and y
long, was filled with everything that;
conicl tempt the appetite and satisfy
the wants of the inner man. You have j
never been to a "Wateree" picnic?
Well, there never has been a failure in
a "Wateree" picnic, and there was no ]
failure on this occasion.
We are alive to other matters down 1
here too. Farm work has been pushed
rapidly forward. Grain of all kind
looks wr'U, and we have full stands of ^
cotton and corn; and ot' the latter ,
quite a large area has been planted; 1
farmers seem determined to quit hauling
rotten corn from Winnsboro.
Right here allow me to ?ar that while
we see so much in the papers about
false packed cotton and remedies to
prevent the same, I see no notice of
the false packed corn that we have to
take, corn that is made to take up as <
uvuoh water as it can possibly absorb
and with a few shovels of dirt thrown
in to make it weigh well. It is well
known that this class of corn is poison- <
ous to stock and entails heavy losses '
upon the farmers.
In politics we arc "as straight as a
shingle." and only wait me can oi our
county chairman to rally oncc more ,
under the ilag of Democracy. We hold 1
ourselves in readiness to give Taft, or
any other of his stripe a warm reception
whenever he deems it advisable to
visit our county. We extend to District
Attorney Scalawag Melton a
cordial invitation to visit us during the
next campaign, and it" he does not get a
free ride on a rail out of the county, |
then I am mistaken. Melton must
have a tough hule, for if ever a man
was abused lie is that man.
I think the boys down here would
like to meet General Youmans, they .
would give him a ride too, but a very
differen t one from that of Melton, it
would be one of triumph upon the ,
shoulders of the red-slurted boys. General
Youmans has made a lasting im- !
pression upon the red-shirts of his (
State by his manly defence of South
Carolina and South Carolinians.
Do you think the negroes will register?
They are full of it, and will register
to a man. It got out among them
that lasii Monday w^s the day and here ;
they came. We "tcrrogated" one of
the parly who said ihat he heard the
"perseasor" was to be here, and "Unclc
Rich had saunt word to theiu all to
come up and redish."
We would like to make a suggestion
to our honored county chairman, and
it is this, had he not better call the
clubs together and appoint committees
to look after members of clubs who
might not register if not reminded of
the importance of doing so?
We feel that we have trespassed too i
much already upon your columns, but
hope that you will accept our excuse,
when we say that we do not do so
often. Incog.
