J udge Aldrich was well pleased with our town and county and spoke most favorab ly of the criminal record. -Rev. N. G. Balenger filled his appointment at the Methodist church in Pickens last Sunday and preached an excellent ser mon. Next Sunday the service will be a comniunion service and church conference. All mem bers are urged to attend. -Mr. Livingston, one of the linemen of the Southern Bell Telephone Co., fel :oi a Ikle this (Thursday) morning, while at work and was killed, Mr. Livingston was one of the line men who put in the new line in Pickens and the people of this city will learn of his death with genuine sorrow. He was splic ing a cable in Greenville at the time he was killed. -Mr. J. F. Stokes, of Honea Path, S. C., was in Pickens the latter part of last week on a business trip. He came up to try and get up a trade with R. L. Davis. Mr. Stokes has a nice bottling plant and a splendid business at Honea Path and need a partner to help him push it Mr. Davis will close a deal with him if he can dispose of his plant here at a reasonable profit. -Oh, my: What a pity that people will suffer with their back and kidneys when relief can obtained. All doubt and worry is r ved and p relieved by m's Backache can obtain relief , ne use of them, why not do so? Those who have not tried can learn of their efficacy by asking fritnds and neighbors.

We ask the adulgence of our readlers for :arcity of reading matter. We -ill improve and enlarge the pa er as soon as we can collect enough money from our sub scribers to pay for new press and the necessary equipment. The sooner you pay for your parer the sooner we can make the contemplated change and neces sary improvements. -On last Wednesd av and Thursday, Miss Bessie Partridge had her millinery opening at her parlors over Folger, Thorn ley & Co's. store and the ladies for miles around were in atten dance, all commenting, admir ing and trying on the latest pro -ductions and creations of the milliner's art. This is Miss Part 'dge's second season in Pickens a'rd her quick judgment, excel lent taste and ability to please her customers has won for her many patrons. Her goods and styles are late models, being that which is now being shown in the style centres and the lady that buys her head gear from Miss Patridge can rest assured of being a well-dressed woman. -Some of our farmer friends have been kicking to us about other markets paying better prices than this one. We are sorry such conditions have aris en, but are powerless to help and the R. R. Commission cannot handle such cases. If the Pick ens buyers are paying less for cotton than Seneca, Central, Norris or Cateechee, there is a reason for it and they should explain. If they are paying all they can, or all the mills will allow, then the mills ought to them give a chance to meet com petition. We believe the two buyers at Pickens pay all that the mills they buy for wvill al low to bepaid. Such reports and such practices will hurt Pickens as acotton market, and should be looked intoiand reme died. This should be the best market in the up-country. -On October 6th and 7th the H.-B.-M.

Aftert a short business session the meeting was turned into a social gathering. Youth and beauty yied with each other in sparkling wit; memory's cas ketwas pried open and the games of long ago were indnlged in, the conundrums of childhood's h our again assailed us.
