Advertising Rates Reasonable. oatered at Pickene retoffice as Second Clas Mail Matter PICKENS, S. C. THURSDAY AUGUST 5. 1909. Cateechee One hundred and thirty three years ago to day (july4th) that old historeal bell, that so many people have gone thousand miles to see at fairs, pealed foth the glad tidings of liberty from the steeple of the old State house in Philadelphia. No wonder the streets of Philadelphia were crowded with people that day to hear the good news. We think we are appressed today, and -tre to a certain extent, but nothing in comparison to what those people were before the Declara tioh of Independence. England treated the settlers as an inferior class of people, her intention was to keep the colon ies dependent. The laws were all framed to favor the English manufacturer and merchant at the expense of the colonist. The Navigation Acts compelled the the Amercan farmer to send his products across the ocean to Eng land, and then to buy his goods in British markets. American manufactures, were prohibited. Just think of such tyranny! No wonder there was a war. A man that will not shoulder a gun and go forth in defence of his rights under such trying circumstances is not worth the ground he cov ers and ought to be with the dev il or some other hot place. The writer has never been in favor of war or agitating wars but when one is forceablv brought on and our freedQes. - sights are envoL'b. - .. anL11d sytmpathy - we have no to th the man who goes nei- rock cliff and, leaves, his ..dhbor to face the music. We -believe if we were engaged in a battle and the enemy were on one side of us and a character of *that kind on the other that we would turn our gun on the latter first. What a glorious country this is to day to what it once was. We can manufacture what we please. We can till the soil. We can worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience. We are a free and independant people, so to speak. Ought we not to be thankful. The Cateechee Sunday school picnic at the Union church on Cateechee hill last Saturday evening (the 3rd inst.) A nice time was had and the program was carried out without a sin gle thing to mar the features. The first thing on the pro gram was a speech from Hon. W. G. Mauldin and it is need less to say that Mauldin seemed to be at his best. He took for his speech the opportunities pre vailing during dis boyhood days and the opporunities of the pre sent time. We will not attempt to pencil Mr. Mauldin's speech from the fact that space will not admit, but as every body who knows "Bill" Mauldin knows what kind of a speech he made. The next thing then was to serve cake and ice cream under the beauti ful oak trees in front of the church The good ladies of Ca teechee had certainly done their part as the costly cakes showed when uncovered. The Odd Fel lows of Cateechee donated ten dollars toward this picnic to buy ice &c. After every one present had fully satisfied his thirst and ap petite Mr. J. C.Gtarrett was call ed on and responded with a good speech, the point of which was "work." Mr. Garrett showed what had been accomplished on Cateechee hill in the past four teen years, all of which wvas done through work. If we have -a flourishing Sunday school and if we inherit a seat iniheaven - have got to work. Mr. Garr is a good speaker and speaks the point. The next speaker was Mi S. Leopard on behalf of th* Fellows of Cateechee. He made a good talk Last but not least was the Supt. of the school, Mr. G. F. Norris' who made a good talk to the parents in regard to their duty toward their children. This closed the propram and then the young people taken a straw ride to Central and all re port a nice time. Mr. Editor, please explain why it is we have not received your paper at this office t;,!! Monday for two weel k. It does seem like we shoIl. eceive the S. J. sooner than that. A certain old bachelor of Nor ris and a young widower of Easley by mutual agreement zot together one day last week and agreed to oo out "sparking." Whether they had any definite route in view or not remains to be learned. Any way at the :ut set of their trip they cani by Cateechee. The wiiter cnowing the nature of a de rnented old bachelor felt a little ineasy about his friend Jim. He inquired after them and cept in close touch with them. r'he first lace they stopped was it a corn mill. Whether they net here with any encourage nent or not along the matri nonial line the future will tell. From here they drifted we know ot where, as we lost trail of hem and never did strike any nore trail until they showed up it home, ' several days later, iungry, with dirty shirts on, ind somewhat sleepy. The old bachelor seems to ,hink his chances are pretty avorable since his return. As to the widower we have not been able to learn. B. [We have another picnic ar bicle from B. which will be pub lished next week. We are sorry time and space have delayed these articles, but they are not too old to still be good.-Editor.) Will Visit George Legare. WASHINGTON.-Just. ,,h,. cause they Xv&t s e George .?r ronur members of ConP ress-Billie Wilson, of Illinois; Currser, of Vermont; Scott, of Kausas, and Townsend, of Mich igan, it is learned here today, will probably leave Washington as soon as the tariff bill is passed and go to Pickens, arriving there early some morning, un heralded, and just in time to take breakfast with George Le gare. A week or more ago, when it was learned that Mr Legare had returned to Pickens, some of his friends in Congress began talking about him, and the four just mentioned practi cally decided to give him a little surprise party and take a quick trip down to South Carolina just as soon as possible. The' plan was to keep the whole thing a secret, but as it has got ton out there is no harm in tel ling it now, and doubtless Mr. Legare will be just as glad to see his fellow members of Con gress if they go as he would be should he not expect them. The plan is to go to Greenville and there take an automobile for Pickens. The distance is only twenty miles and the roads good. The ride would, no doubt, be most enjoyable, and the north ern congressmen would have an excellent chance to see a bit of the beautiful Piedmont country. A New Game In Town. A very interesting trial took place in the Mayor's Court the other day. The cause of the trouble was due to a game of pool known and styled fifteen ball pool, and a game in which the winning player is remuner ated for his skill and adeptabili ty. Elbert Johnson the propie tor of a colored pool room and restaurant combined was the ac cused party, but upon his ap pearance for trial he denied the fact that he was gambling or even allowed gambling in his place of business. Offic er Nealv had bee on the trial for sometime, and was within hearing distance of the.accused party when he denied the fact that he was gambling, and as soon as Johnson saw that the off icer had sufficient proof to convict him, he imnediately saw it would be very foolish to = -" the charge and therefore ignorance. Johnson's ap .ce before the trial would alarmed a specialist on ous diseases, he had the ex Lion of ne doomed to die, but after a fair and Imparta trial the Court Imposed a fine of fifteen dollars and prompt payment of the fine con vinced those present that John son nust have done a gilt edge business. And no doubt a trav - lling man after witnessing such .-rompt action on the part of .Johnson, the hero in the one act comedy entitlod " Saturday Night In A Pool Room" would have every reason to believe that Pickens was a prosperous place. It is hard to ascertain who the villian was in this little drama, but if this little play is ever repeated in Pickens, it will be an opportunity worth accept ing to those who seem to think they can violate the law and go unmolested. A Quiet Wedding. Albany Ga. July 21.-Miss El sie Lucile:Miller daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Miller of this city was married at 10 o'clock' this morning to Mr. "lif ton B.
