y One of the most Interesting sights In cony

la vouchsafed ttie one fortunate enough to obtain
access to the interior of the studies of

cover almost 400.0(H) square feet of ground. In
the various rooms one can see the prepara'

immense room there Is a small forest comit

After the above was very creditably rendered
the boys and girls oi the school, were
very interestingly entertained by the addresses
of Lt.-Gov. E. B. Gary and Rev. W. W.
Daniel. Mr. Gary's subject wns that of Government,
and his speech whs deep, clear ano
full of logic and food for thought. Mr. Daniel
discussed Christian Education in his accustomed
easy, clear and flowing style. We
would be glad to give a synopsis of these excellent
speeches for publication, but mu?t refrain
from doing so because of inability to do
them Justice. They were both very highly
complimented.
At 12.80 p. m., a recess was taken for refreshments
during which time a beautiful dinner
was spread by the good ladles and all partook
of a sumptuous feast seldom enjoyed by any
people.
At 2 o'clock the crowd reassembled In front
of thestand and witnessed the awarding of
the following prizes:
A Silver Medal to T i aster Clifton Robinson,
for the highest average during the school or
nine months, 98 1-12.
A Gold Ring, to Miss Blanch Culbertson, second
highest, 98 2-5.
A Bible to Miss Lldle Jones, third highest,

sections hii,all grain looking well, also Rood
stands of .'orn and cotton. In other places a
great many complain of bad stands ot cotton
and have to plant over. In Edgefield county
the cut worms are doing considerable damage
to cotton. Some grain is being harvested.
Plenty of chickens, but most of them rather
small for market. We have bad flae rains
and everybody looks fresh and contented.
Capt. James Rodgers has the finest Jersey
cow we have seen.
Mr. John Partiow of Kerkseys. Edgefield
county, was in town last Friday. He says he
has the smartest baby in Edgefield. It is six
months old and has a perfect set of teeth.
It is said that Jdnes will pay the freight.

Some parts of our township bud a pret
good shower of rain on Tuesday.

Mr. J. C. Thomas, has perhaps tbe olde

and report says, that it was made In 1820.
Is still as good as new.
The oft repeated advice, though almo
every channel of communication, to It
planters, to raise their own supplies, seems 1
be bearing fruit. Since tbe war. till for
year or two past, very muca vaiuaoie un
was lost, In going to places where farm su
plies could be obtained, after tbem. Tt
wagons, this year, bo far, for farm supplh
bave been conspicuous for their absence, t
our town. Heretofore several wagons wei
to be ceeiron oar Btreeta every day, and o
Saturdays quite a number. Now we hardl
ever see one, excepting on Saturday and the
not morel tban one or two.
So far as this writer is able to Judge froi
several trips to tbe country in several dlrec
lobs, the planters are about as well up wit
tbelr farm work, as they usually are at tb:
time. Tbe weather has enabled them to g<
tbelr crops In good flz for tbe small gral
harvest which will soon be upon tbem. wit
really good seasons it would bave been ver
hard for many to bave kept tbe grass sut

were laid by foul, wblcb no doubt caused a
unusually large depoelt of grass and wee
deed, wblcb more rain, would bave caused t
xpring forth, and much trouble and bar
work would bave resulted.

iy The annual plcnio at Mt. Morlab oburcb to

ln 600 persons were present representing Greenwood,
Ninety-Six, Hodges, Verdery, Bradley
*? New Market and other placet. NotwithQO
standing the large crowd or visitors there was
. an abundance of |good things to eat for every- ,.
'if body. , t*3?
L- The charch had been tastily decorated by
. a number of young ladles and evetythlng
!? had been well arranged beforehand for the
06 proper entertainment of the crowd. Some ->>
three or four addresses were made during the
morning. . , H-hiM
'e We were late arriving and for that reason
-did not hear the first address, whlob was
made by Prof. W. R. Earle, Principal of the
m Phoenix Graded school. We learn his ad- ' {
t dress, though somewhat lengthy, was well
"J1 prepared and much appreciated. Prof. Earle
1, is a young man recently from Anderson, and
11 Is, with the assistance of Miss Jordan, doing
. a school work wbiloh is very aooeptable to the
" patrons of the Phoenix Graded School.
J? Rev. M. M. Brabham said in substance, this
is the third consecutive year that I have ad- 1
? dressed you on the occasion of your annual t .
J? picnic and I feol somehow solemn today . p>

a When I was a boy, the one who could whip

since then quite another view Is taken as to
? who tbe best man Is. Anybody can' flgbt,' >3$

Boys have bad tbelr fights and now girls. It ' a
7 Is your time to flgbt. Just how to majce tbe

one another that you should flgbt, yoaphonld vuMB
fight yourselves. This Is yonr time. The v*F?|5

Boys and girls, be cheerful, be bright.
* There Is another thing yoa will have to
p" fight and that Is tbe tongue. Control yoar ltongues.
Tbe tongae may be tbe best thing or
It may be worst thing. With It yon may ;v

u curse your parent* and corse God who give*
you everything you have. ''Behold bow great
? a thing a little Are klndleth."
A word may be In anger spoken and tbis
i angry word brings about other worda, .till
words lead to blows, and blows to marder.
Yoav'e got to fight yourselves. Guard your- 'L%
selves. Guard yoar tongues. Now Is yoar
opportunity to so live as to insure for happl- , jp
aera and prosperity on earth and a future
home In Heaven. You must flgbt tbat Inordinate
desire to make money. Money-making
is all right, but It should not be tbe object
i- of life. You should have a blgber object In
A (lie than simply making money. Yoar
life-work should be making otbere bappy and
advancing tbe cause of Christ Bonaparte

is It Is said a ship was once wrecked on tbe
north coast of Scotland In Aill view of tbe
ig shore. Strong men on the land saw tbelr fells
lowmen In great danger of being drowned
and only one man dared to venture his life to
at save others. This man's mother was present
y and urged bim not to ventare, remlodlng him
td that his lather had been drowned at sea and
that bis brother Will bad left tbem a long
ig time ago. He replied, now Is my opportunity
to save life, and kissing his mother and tellII

ib he replied: "All except one man." Again

:e mother plead with blm not to venture again - '
11 and be said, "Now is my time to save human /life."
Again he ventured. When be bad

J. Children yoa should make mother happy?

is cheer and comfort her In her old age and it
a- will be a great source of comfort to yoa when
you yourselves have grown to be old.
n Now Is your time?now la your opportnnlty
Is to get to Heaven. Thousands are now before
the port. Now Is your opportunity to enter
in tbe port and thus avoid shipwreck on the
V. breakers of life.
I expect some day to go to Heaven and If I ,

you up yonder, where there vrlll be no more
