Mr. Keller's School Gives a Most Enjoyable Picnic?Excellent Examinations and Recitations by the Pupils?Speeches, Dancing etc. Moxticello Jlxe 27.?The beautiful grove of massive oaks in front of the rcsidencs of Mr. Robert L. Martin had been the spot selected for a scene of gayetv to be enacted on Friday, June *27. The scene was perfect, 'twas a real scene, not an imitation ot one on canvas*, but 'twas one that could be seen stamped over the whole assembled throng, even reflected in the briyht, beaming faces of every picknicker lVotn the youngest to the oldest. It was a great day for the children of if tiroc i?f 11nrol. tilts iivy\/vi * n ?uo iivui itia? ?? v* corned by the young men and young ladies of that, and other sections; it was a day full or' pleasure for the old as well as the young. The occasion was the school picnic of that enthusiastic, persevering and wide-awake schoolmaster, Mr. Walter J. Keller. It was about 9 o'clock a. m. when,! I from the piazza of Mr. R. L. Martin's home, wagons loaded with picknickers, carriages and buggies filled with the same merry creatures, and horses and mules galloping and chaping with their gallant riders, could all be seen making headway for the oaks, and this was continued until about 11 o'clock a. m. when the whole grounds were nnrnro/l trilli (/An/1 iiotiireil onrl | WTVICU W4V,Wi farmers and their noble wives and their fair daughters and their gallant sons, and their interesting little children leaping and bounding with joy. Pleasure seekers were there from Feasterville, Jenkinsvillc, Dawkins, Monticello, Albion, Jackson's Creek, Newberry, Wiunsboro and other places. The very air echoed and reechoed as the waves of pleasure and gladness roae on the atmosphere. At 10.8C o'clock a. in., silence reigned, and after prayer by Rsv. j Garriss, Mr. lveller began to examine his classes. A splendid stand, decorated and festooned with evergreens, had been erected for the use of the scholars and the older speakers. Classes in Geography and Grammar passed through the trying ordeal of the rigid examinations most creditably, reflecting alike on the thorough preparations of the scholar and the skill and efficiency of the teacher. Comparisons are odious among school children as well as among competitors in the business world, but we cannot refrain from mentioning that the examination passed by Miss Bessie Bynain on English Grammar was exceedingly good. After the examinations, down from Mr. Martin's house, where they adjourned, came the pupils in double file, appropriately costumed to assume the respective rolos given below. Cheer after cheer broke ou the air from the audience as Summer Queen and Frost Kinsr wit!) their attendants marched upon the -land. The following are the characters assumed in this 3iid j other renditions, a!l of which were well executed: OflMrfM ATT?>f>V 4 vr\ I'DACT I CLiUJiLA C VO 1 ivi.iu Summer Queen, Miss Bessie Bynnm; Frost Kioff, T.

"My Motherland "Mv Father" was well done, and "The New Church Organ" and "The '"Would-be School Teacher" fairly convulsed the audience with laughter.

Messrs. Editor: The Tillman move,ment is war upon established government. It seizes those defects which are inherent in human nature and m-omises what it can never nerform. It is incipient socialism and uses the material best suited to its purpose?at the North and in Europe the mechanics and factory lands?here the discontented farmer and the sore head. Tillman has been called the great bamboozler, to which might be added the words?and leveller. What is all this fuss about? That upon which much of Tillman's abuse is founded is the non-reapportionmentof representation during a few rears. ? eii, to carry out me system wiin perfect fairness a census should be taken every two years or before each election, since inequalities are sure to arise during the ten years intervening between census taking. Then why make such a fuss about the inability of the legislature to act at the regular time? "Who is hurt except a few office seekers? Each legislator represents South Carolina and not simply the county from which he is sent. Xc conntv -will suffer by the absence of : ; ... one or two representative? nor gain by navmg a lew more man men- jjupuiution would entitle theni to. Often one good man is worth more to the State or County than a cow pen full of such legislators as Tillman says his farmers make. Xo doubt Edgefield could make money by swapping off her whole delegation for one good member and the same may sometimes uo said 01 rairneiu. Tlie robber tariff, which Tillman savs does not concern us and which is gotten up to make most money for capitalist and least money for the government will grind out of the farmers of South Carolina on the one article of <oltou tita $90,000 and yet Tillman does not' show how Ins new administrator would save one cent to. the State or in any way benefit the farmer. x. THE 4 XXIVE US ART OF Y. Jf. C. A. AT UXIOX. On last Saturday morning, June 21, in response to an invitation, ;i representative of Tiie 2se\vs and Herald started out to visit the second anni vereafy .meeting of the Y. M. C. A. of Union Church. After a pleasant drive ofabout an hour and a half, in company with Mr. A. A. Morris, we arrived at the place of meeting and at once repaired to the church. The regular meeting of the association was called to order at 9 o'clock a. m. by the President, Mr. J. A. Murray. llvmn No. 1 was then sung followed by prayer by A. Lee Scruggs. The 90th psa!ru was then read by Mr. Scruggs, which was followed with prayer by the Rev. T. "W. Scrag-gs. ' The religous part of the "regular! meeting here closed. The following are the officers of the; Association. President?J. B. Murray. "Vice-President?A. Lee Scruggs. Secretary?John R. Boyd. Assistant.Secretary?E. A* Cloyd. Treasurer?a. vv. ."Meeje. Librarian?G. A. Hagood. The Secrelary:s report was 1 hen j read by Mr. John K. Boyd. As this J l'eport shows the present progress and present condition of the Association we will give it in full: Secretary's report of Y. M. C. A. j June, 21 1890. Union Church. i I respectlully submit fjr your information the following statement, viz: During the last twelve months we have held twentv-eighc meetings ofour A ~ * ? *-A on/^ nvot'oi* -AsSOOIUtiUIl W1 JJl&l.-n; auu y: i>aivi> Eight or' these were private and twenty public, all of which wore well attended on an average ot'lVoin tweuty to thirty each night. The Treasurer's book shows an expenditure for preaching and sundry accounts $25, cash on hand $28,65. Since June 21st, 38S9, we nave sold und given away 1) Bibles, 12 testaments, 5 psalm books and 2i gospel hymn books. All or these were sold ait and below first cost. We have yet on hand a bookcase which cost $3 and twelve Bibles worth $G,40. At our anniversary las', year we lia'l <*n <>.?r roll 50 members, of these 17 ! were active members and 33 Associ ate members. We,have now on our roll 31 active members, 22 associate members and 21 honorary memberstotal 74. Since Ja>f. year 1G associate members have opcome active members, or in other words have joined the church of Gcd. Two of our members have been called into our masters ministry and are breaking the bread of life to * large a id admiring congregations. We hold regular weekly meetings. Rev. W. B. White preachy tor "us twice each month ai>d Rev. E. S. Lupo j preaches once each month. We have good attendance on all our services and we have reason to hope for a eontinuence of good work among us. We are glad to welcome you all on this occasion and hope you a pleasant and profitable day. Alter the Secrotsry's report was read, an address of welcome was .delivered by the llev. E. W. Mason, one of their members who joined the i Association on the day of its orgoniz; ation. Mr. Mason spoke for about fifteen minutes in which he briefly reviewed the history of this Association, commended the interest shown in the tTT?i.L- hv thA lArljps and nropd the mem bers to continue their ellorts aud not allow any obstacles or drawbacks to abate tbeir zeal in the good work. The speaker showed by his manner that he felt a deep interest in the Association and had its welfare at heart. The address of Mr. Mason was to the point, well delivered and made all visitors feel at ease and that they were among friends. After the address of welcome, Rev. J. U. Stoll was introduced to the audicnce and delivered a very instructive and entertaining address in which he showed conclusively that Christianity had a tendency to build up man socially, morally and intellectually and that such as joined associations of this character were sure to be benefitted, if they entered the same in a proper spirit and with gcod motives. The speaker went on to show why associations of this kind would make better men and women and among the numerous reasons assigned, the principal one was the fact that the members would feel that there was a great responsibility resting upon them and would endeavor by their walk and conversation to exert an influence for good. "While the speaker went on to show, that none could excuse themselves from the responsibility of life by urging that they were not members of any religions organization and that the obligation to do good rested upon all equally whether they were members or not, yet experience had always proved that such as joined religious organizations always seemed to feel an additional responsibility resting upon them and that such fcei? ing would lead to renewed and dilgent efforts for the promotion of Christ's cause and insisted that it was the duty of a'1 to connect themselves with some religious organization. The next speaker called on to :ul( dross the audience was the Ilev. T. W. I Scruggs. Mr. Scruggs announced that-| he was unprepared but without &ip- j hesitation proceeded to deliver a. very interestingjaddrcss in which he urged j the importance of education upon a!i j preseur. Tlie speaker showed ili.it an i education was within the reach of all if they would only utilize .heir spare time and cited instances where great knowledge had been attained by sitn- j piV using' scraps ui uiub ill rciuiug j and studying good books, instead ofj trashy literature. The speaker urged upon his hearers the importance~of educating the heart as well as the mind. Mr. Scruggs illustrated his point by several "amusing anecdotes /\nn %K n?oc? nnrtnllOl'Iv <in. ix Li Li \J v vug u juou ??ao i/vvunai *j ?|/ i propriate urged his hearers to spread themselves and do some good. Mr. Scruggs;'was followed by the: Ecv. E. S. Lupo who eloquently com- j pared the condition of the world mor- j ally and socially fi'ty years ago with the same condition at the present time and urged upon his hearers the impori taree of being ud and at their duty. The Rev. "White was next in troduced, and announced that be would . only .-say a few words to fill up a {vacancy, and the audicncc felt before | he was through that it would have I never do:ic to have left this particular i vacancy nnlilJed, for he gave a brief j history of the Y. M. C. A. in England I ^..,1 t,rnnv.-ici thrflllffh Srtrtt U.UC1 i lO {y-vsi vcw. vw.v -J-,?' land and Ireland and from thence to the United State.-. He effectually answered the objections which had been tiffed against the organization and showed that organized efforts would always result in good if directed in the proper channel. It was a little after middav when ! Mr. White finished his address, and there was another vacancy to be filled, which had been provided for in ihu rnosr. ample manner by the Association and friends around Union Church, r Af (Ms :bo r.rnwrf rnnaired to the grove in rear of the church, where a most delightful and appetizing dinner awaited them. The committee of arrangements for the picnic did everything in their power to make those present enjoy tlieinsclvep; and it is needless to say that the visitors did ample justice to this pait of the programme and the refreshments which | were served from an adjoining table. 11T ? cnnni'.i!iiin/l-i)i/>0 <if j J.

The members of the Association alone wero then arranged I in rear of the church and their photo[ graph taken. After an intermission of about an hour it was suggested that the assemblage again repair to the church and hear another address. The whofe crowd seemed to be in favor of the move with the exception of one individual, who protested against it on the | ground that there had already been enough speaking for the day. A I : ~ " ? ? f n/?K o Al'AOT/1 QC uiuiuuiy <ji uuc m suw ? uvhu u? that present had no right?, and as this individual was unable to convert aay one to his way of thinking on this particular point the motion in favor of resuming the speaking was carried by an overwhelming majority. After the crowd had again assembled in the church the Rev. II. B. Garris was introduced by the president in a very feeling manner, in which he re ferred to Mr. (Harris as the foundor and father of this Association. We then saw in the speaker the person who on the grounds had endeavored so hard to prevent a resumption of the afternoon speeches. When he first aroseoWe were unable to form a correct jadgment us to whether it would.have oeen fcvest to have followed his advice and dispensed with the afternoon session, for we had never beard Mr. Garris speak before, but when he had closed we were of the opinion that on such occasions the committee in charge of the dinner should always see that xt.. L-ont owar tVnm fliA tahlft uailio iO ctvfv ? , until they have exacted an unequivocal promise from him to deliver an after, dinner speech, for on this occasion, if if he had sn? ceeded in converting the crowd on the ground to his way of thinking, we would have missed one of (he best addresses of the day. rXhe speaker in the introductory part of his address showed that he felt a deep interest in this Association, that its welfare was dear to his heart, that ho cherished a just pride in its development and entertained the sincerest wishes for its future advancement and welfare. He then proceeded f<? liver a vcrv interessinsr rddress on the subject, "Christian Character." He showed that character was not made or destroyed in a day, and that it is a man himself who bniids up or destroys his character, and that a Christian character is the grandest character of all. The speaker referred to instances of individuals who had taken high positions in the world as strong political character but whose private Jives showed a weak religious oharacter. fie then paid,, a glowiug tribute to the great Confederate leader, Stonewall Jackson, as one who had a strong military character, a strong political character, a strong religious -1 A?.A riAVAi* fo?1Arl UllUlilUlCl, illlU >19 UUt Y? iiu llfclvi lIUJlAt to perform any duty; in short, as one of the grandest of all grand characters. We regret that our limited space forbids us giving a more extended account of this address, and in fact of all of the addresses on the occasion. After the close of the address of Mr. Grarris, liev. B. W. Badenbaugh, of Prosperity, was called on,-bat declined to make a speech on account of the lateness of ihe honr. He consrratn lated the Association on its progress and bid the members God speed in the good work. I The benediction was pronounced by the Kev. \7. G. White and the exercises of the day were closed. The progress of this Association has been somewhat remarkable. It was organized two years ago principally through the influence of the Kev. ty. B. Garris. At its organization it had only eight members, but its devel* opment has been so rapid that to-day it has on its roll seventy-four members. Those who are in a position to know say that since its organization its influence in the community has always been for good,. and that there has been a marked improvement in many of its members. The deep interest manifested in the proceedings last Saturday show that the people of the neighborhood are deeply interested in the Association, and will spare no pains to keep up a lively interest in the meetings.

I was nly one. uot the only one etc. Mr friend seems to be very much alarmed because Tillman men only, were at the picnic referred to. Well I will endeavor to quiet his nerves by saying that there are bin few in this community who are opposed to Tillman and of course we are not responsible for the crowd being unanimous for the Captain. I confess that I much prefer handling a hash spoon, and that I can co it with more grace than 1 cau wield ai political pen; but you know this is a campaign of education. Well I have learned a good deal to-day. The News and Herald the Columbia Register and several other leading: papers of the State are for high tariff aud Tilloftm, at least the Major says so. We all agree that the boat of :7G was a grand one, and she did good service tor about four years. 13ut she needs overhauling badly, and we will try and have the job complete by Sept. 10th 1890. They do not allow Democrats to speak, I will say jost here that I was not at the meeting. Bnt how about the last Convention, (please excuse me, for I should have said "conference'-"), held in Columbia, the one in Laurens lasi *veek, also that campaign club formed iu Columbia very recently. Those meetings have been strictly Anti-Tillman, are they not excluding Democrats? Ex-Governor Hampton says that icc are all(food Democrat*.

Hood's Sarsaparilla is a peculiar medicine, possessing, by virtue of its peculiar combination, proportion, and preparation, curative power superior to any other article. A Boston lady who knew what she wanted, and whose example is worthy imitation, tells her experience below: To Get i HBMH " In one store where I went to buy Hood's Sarsaparffla the clerk tried to induce me buy their own instead of Hood's; hetoldmetheir's , xv-4. r 44- 4/m would 12LST* XOngCT^ UUH l UV&c m vu ?gu days' trial; that if I did sot like it I need not pay anything, etc. But he could not prevail on me to change.
