Now I have by no means a clear idea what the word democrat means . but I think it means one who believes in the common people, or who likes the com. inon people. Two more propositions: (l) The German students are democrats. (2) The common people travel fourth class on the trains. Of course you have already arrived at the conclusion that the students also travel fourth class. Quite right. Now I have given you this long introductory explanation, because it is a matter not always clearly understood. For instance, if you ask a student why he travels fourth class, he will usually tell you: "Oh, the distance is quite short." Some people may say that there is in this case a shortage somewhere else than in the distance. But it is to be hoped that no one will say that To pronced with the fourth class travel, which the students call bust-picture travelling, because when you stand up in front of one of the windows the people outside see your bust, although there are some objections to it, one arrives as quickly at his destination as by third class on the same train. As to those objections above mentioned, the chief one is that when one grows impatient on account of the train's speed, or lack of speed, he cannot get out and walk, because tne wmuows are coo high to jump out that way (there are no ladders that ono might put to the ground and escape), and the doors are locked. Another objection is that there are no seats. There are indeed in each compartment eight or nine seats, but these are all occu- a pied by twelve or fourteen stalwart and o determined looking fellows who seem to be r capable of holding their own. Besides the 1: eight or nine seats in each compartment n there are twelve or fourteen standing ' places. There are six straps to hang to, v and the other occupants of the standing t places are supposed to lean against the t wall. Sitting on the floor is discouraged, c as it takes up too much room. Another ob- ? jection which some people have to fourth ?1 class is that the air is not fresh, but this is only a minor matter, i True, one thinks the'air is not fresh on entering but after an ? hour or so one doesn't notice it at all. ** If some of the cars are locked, there are others with which it is possible, nofconly to open the door at the side, but also to pass from one car to another through a door in the end. These are called through trains, not because they go through small towns without stpping, but because it is possible to go through the train from ono end to H the ?ther?a privilege for which you pay one mark extra. But that you may not hnr-A too bad an oninion of the German ? trains, it should be added that for the same L money you can have the same comfort as in America. Fourth class costs half a cent c a kilometet* which is about five-eights of a p mile. The difference is that all Americans a who don't travel iirst class travel second, v Another difference is that if our trains go p faster, they pay for the speed in accidents, ii As between the United States and Ger- 11 many the deaths from railroad accidents tl are thirty to one, as I have been told. tl But all*this doesn't interest you perhaps w as much as what happened in Cassel after ti the journey. All Hesse was there, from the ^ big towns and from the villages, (the farm- n ers all live in small villages instead of liv- b ing on their laud, so there is 110 country' li folk) crowding to the central square of the h town. I reached the town at half past eight ti and followed the crowd to this square a around which already a mass of people was tl gathered. I chose a good place where I ' could see everything in the square and ii waited for about fifteen minutes for something to happen. By chance I asked a man y by me when the parade would be "loose," ii as the Germans say. "At eleven," said my o neighbor. Well, it takes a full blooded Ger- t man-to wait two hours and a half standing k to see anything. I went away to look at the v town a bit. and when I came back at about t half past ten the crowd was like a wall, C with the police keeping it straight. But C those who came later made up in ingenuity for their tardiness, and you could see them S running down from all directions to the a back of the crowd with chairs, boxes, beer d kegs, step ladders, benches, in fact any- p thing that would support a man's weight, ti I got a chair and came along with the rest, e Soon the Kaiser's tripple tone auto whistle b was heard, and the people began to cheer o as he passed. He went into the Schloss h facing the square, and while he was getting J ready to come out and review the troops, v two chaplains, one Protestant and one t Catholic, began to bless the new banners, t supposedly to be given to new regiments. You see the Germans are a wise people, f: and they don't want to make any mistake I about the consecration. In order to be 011 11 the safe side they have their llags twice v blest. With the blessing of the colors be- t gan the booming of the cannon, which continued while the Kaiser rode out, followed 1 by his generals, passed around the central c space along the edge of the crowd, bowing v and saluting. He was followed by the Kaiserin and the Princess in a carriage, beside quite a number of notables, presumably counts and dukes, etc. After making a tour of the square the Emperor stationed himself in front of the Schloss and the re view Degan. remaps yuu cull u kiiu?> nimt j a "goose step" is. It consists in walking without bending tiie knees, raising the foot about to the level of the hips and falling forward. If any one wants to practice it they should do so alone, for the effect of a single person marching "parade march" Is I calculated to excite the risory muscles of the onlookers. But however ridiculous this step may be in one person, it is quite impressive when done by a good line of soldiers. The Kaiser watched them quite t narrowly too, as he was to judge which \ ' battalion was the best drilled. After about t fifteen thousand regular soldiers, there g | passed in review the veterans of the war ] [ with France in 1870-1. There were live thousand of them there. Besides all these ' there was a "bunch" of war societies which 6 1 wanted to be reviewed, but the Kaiser i "said them nay." Poor man, he must lead s an awful life with people peering around t corners, through opera glasses, telescopes, scanning the windows of his house if per- | chance they may catch a glimpse of him. When he passes by in his auto tlio road is 1 lined on either side with people hoping for * a glimpse from him. But however bad the ( Kaiser may fare, it is a line tiling for Cas- 5 sel that he passes two weeks there every 1 summer. Just imagine what an advertise- 1 iA. 1.1 4',...

Bowman, two miles out. Mrs. A. A. Traylor, of Augusta, Ga., has been the guest of her brothea-in-law, Mr, A. V. Barnes, on Depot street for some days. Mr. J. Bruce Moseley of Charleston came up yesterday a week ago and is taking a holiday with relatives here. Rev. R. W. Humphries began a several . days meeting at the Ridge church yesterdayweek ago. The annual picnic at the Campbell school 1 house, four miles out, came off Tuesday, Ae usual a large crowd was present which i was served with a big dinner. The most of the county candidates were present and entertained and enlivened the crowd, and taking it all in all, it was a day pleasantly spent. F Mrs. Robert "NVatkins of Augusta, whose four children have been for several weeks 1 at the home of their uncle, Mr. J. C. Lomax, came last Sunday, joined them, and 1 are still here. Mr. E. Walker DuVall, of Cheraw, who is a candidate for Lieut.-Governor of this > State, spent the larger part of Tuesday in tills pilHJU OU4UCU11MII11VUO) guv/i Those who saw him (the writer among them) can say that he was the first and ! only candidate for Lieut.-Governor of this , State that they ever saw. We, in this part , of the State in voting for State candidates, - have "to go it blind" as there are bur few ' of us that ever see one of them. We might 1 have a showing occasionally if not oftener. Fifty-eight years before' last Tuesday the first notable August freshet to those of us then living, came upon this section. Last Thursday two years before was the last. The volume of water of the first going oceanward in the destruction of bridges and crops was small indeed when i compared with the last. Before the first, as to the then notable double bridges across Rocky River at or near where the iron bridge which spans the above river now stands, it was not necessary to put them more than ten or twelve feet above the or. dinary level of the water, and to that time and for sometime afterwards it was a rare thing for them to wash off. An occasional high water would damage them somewhat, ' but they were repaired with but little delay and work. At the time of last big river the iron bridge which was over twen. ty feet high and the swinging arch twelve or fifteen feet above it and the water more than covered all, swept off the bridge and it lies in bottom of the river yet. The river must have been fully forty feet above low water. The ladies of the Baptist church gave an ice cream upon the church grounds Friday nicht for the benefit of the pax-sonage ana were reasonably successful. Mr. R. R. Jones is off on a ten days leave of absence, and is visiting his old home in Laurens. Mh Lowry Blake came up from Latimer Friday in an auto. Misses Annie and Pet Hawthorne were with him. Mr. W. H.

Humphries, left here very early Wednesday morning and went to the home of Mr. Jack Loner, near Due West, where at 11 a. m. the first was united in marriage by the second to'Miss Lois Loner, daughter of the third. They came over that evening and on to the home of Mr. Hardin where a large crowd of his relatives and friendB had gathered to welcome him and his bride, and later a splendid supper was enjoyed by all. The father, mother and brother of the bride came over with the bridal couple. Rev. 0. M. Abney of Springfield came in Saturday and occupied the pulpit in the Methodist church yesterday at 11 a. m.
