It has been genui le ,, n^ole-souled hospitality, from ft*t to finish?and I think the **rspaper men have been imlurked with the fact that the|( ^vple of Charleston are just as 1 V frantic and true t?? the best r? i:?to.fests ol the whole State as I ? ! j i t people of anv other section ? t iX although, in some respects, hay may be as "distinct as the '1 x.llows" which kiss the beach j' the Isle of Palms, yet she is ? *.>U8 as the sea" in all right di- M5 Krtjt'sd efforts to advance i tie in i ^ eresta of dear old South Caro |i ffena.

E. Wylie, Lancaster News, j lit EEK-A-BqOS AND CAMP MEET- i INGS. Here's a little more light on ie peek-a-boo waist. A camp ' leeting is to be held next week t College Mound. Macon county, 1 lo., and an associated press ispatch tells ??8 that the follow- ' lg notice, which has been pub- | -lied in tlie Church Herald, as reference to that mysterious minine garment : u 1*1 ease do no' let any young ulies come *?? th?? camp meeting rith arms and necks exposed by din sleeves and waists. It seems modest and unbecoming nough to wear such garments at j ome, where no one sees you ut your father and brothers." Why the line is drawn at 1 oung ladies is not stated. There re no doubt numbers of mar- i ed women and widows, both t rass and otherwise, in Macon ounty who would set olT a peek-j -boo to perfection, and we shall i lot t>e surprised to liear ol their1 eing inucti in evidence at the oming camp meeting, t litis igged out. Even some buxon ' Id maids mav attend attired in he tabooed peek a boo. WHOSE LEGS ? One oi the stories told about lie mo^t genial and eompanionble of all new-paper men in the ionth, Col. James T.
