"It's a long lane that has no turning," and the one traveled by the Pickens baseball team for the past several weeks was an (xt long one, 1.ut has at last turned. The town team beat the Pickens mill team yesterd ay by the one-sided score of 8 to 1. Beard and Grandy did the bat tery work for Pickens, and Shepherd and Patterson formed the mill battery. Gaines & Gassoway Bros. say that since the Maw bridge road has been changed and put in good fix, that a large part ofthe people of the western part of the county come to Central to trade, and that the town it getting and holding patronage that never came there before. We are glad they are doing well and hope they will do better. At a meeting of the trustees of the Central High School held Monday the 8th, the following teachers were elected for the. next session, which opens the first Monday in September: Prof. J. R. Lyles, principal and Misses Mattie Mae Morgan, Lila Folger, and Nita Clayton as assistants. The music teachers for the de partment was not elected. Several of our friends who are candidates, and some of their friends, have sponged on our good nature and generosity with the statement to "please an nounce so-and-so for such office and I'll hand to you in a day or two," or "i'll mail you the money when I get home," or "please announce me for such office and send bill and I will send you check." Invariably we have accommodated them with the result that several of these have failed, so far, to carry out their part; the result is we have several announcements that are not paid for, and if the remittances for same are not in this office by the morning of the ;he announcements will be * awn from the paper. s fair notice to all. Busi is business, friends are friends, but money is what runs this paper. A letter recelved by W. H. Ashmore of Pickens, from his son, Sam J. Ashmore, of Witchita, Tex., who is in the railway service, states that rains, cloudibursts aid tornadoes have played havoc with the railroad and that he will not get to visit honefolks this summer as he will be on construction work for some time to come-repairing the road bed and trestles and handling the traffic as best he can with their line in the shape it is in. Fire At Easley. Tuesday evening fire was (is covered in the upstairs of the Lathem building, now owned by J. W. Ellison and J. 0. Pickens, and occupied by Ellison and the Easley Furniture Co. N. D. Taylor, photographer, occupied the upstairs and when he dis covered the fire in an adjoining room, which was filled with cof fins, it was raging to such an extent that it was impossible to put it out. The bueket brigade assembled and did what they could and citizens lent willing hands to try and carry out the stocks of goods. On the build inp s3,000 was carried which was about half its worth; on El lisoi's stock, value a bout$15,000, was .6,500 of insurance: the furniture stock, value between $.,000 and $4,000, there was $1,000 of insurance; N. 1). Tay lor lost about $600 with no in surance. The many friends of these people sympathize with them in this loss. It is very probable that an adequate fire protection will now be put in by Easlev.

Cupid brought one of his lit tle affairs in the Cross Roads section to a successful termina tioni Tuesday evening, June 2, when the officiating minister, L. E. M. Freeman, pronounced Ed. Looper and Miss Fannie Bowen man and wife. It all happened at the home of the bride's father, Martin Bowen. Wie waited as the sun wvent down. There, just about the time when one of old went forth to meditate (GenesIs 24: 63), the groom and a few of his friends appeared-in buggies not on camels. The vows taken, the name changed, the congratulations spoken, all fol lowed a suggestion, which led to the dining-rcom, where we forgot the rest of the world in the excess of good cheer. There was no restrainst. That par ticular kind of formality that makes one sit up straight and be good was dispensed with. Even the groom relaxed some w~hat from his usual grave dig nity andl laughed like the rest of us. There should be a law forbid ding runaway marriages. They rarely lead to such a supper.
