Rev. V. P. Blalock preached a
very interesting sermon the last

third chapter, and thirteenth verse :
"Nevertheless we, according to his

righteousness." Mr. E. L. West

drowned us. Roads and fields a:
badly washed. - Cotton looks sicl

MR. EDITOR: J. S. Satcher &

down at Mr. Henry Padgetts mill.
We haven't heard of the general
proceedings.
We had the pleasure of attend
ing the closing exercises of the
Emory High School, which would
have been a great gratification to
any one to have done. The pro
gramme consisted of speeches, dia
logues, essays, and music, which
gave, only a soupcon of results of
the school. The vocal music just
relegated everything to the rear
but ecstacy. The surprising thing
of all was that the girls beat the
boys on every hand.
The last and next to the best
thing was a debate. The subject
was: "Which is the more favour
able to an education, the country
school or the city school.' The
affirmative was defended by Messrs
W; W. Rodgers and H. E. Unger]
and the negative by Messrs. Jas.
Heilong and Geo. Whitman. The
decision was in favor of the affir-1
mative, but we think both sides
deserved success.
"Van Star" seems to eradicate
that inevitable affection between
the fair 'and sterner sex. He does

JOHN BLAKE.
The Charleston Excursion.
By J. Frank Fair of the Edgefield High School.
Some setting up nearly all night,
some walking the streets, some de
pending on their alarm clocks, and
some few asleep was the condition
of our town and surrounding coun
try on Monday -night the 23rd of
May. But about three o'clock on
Tuesday morning everybody crowd
ed to the Edgefield depot to go
down to Charleston on the much
talked of excursion.
This was gotten up by the Y. M.
C. A., of this place for xheir special
benefit. It left Edgefield at five
o'clock with about two hundred
and fifty passengers yelling at the
top of their voices. In a few
minutes we reached Trenton where
our crowd was increased by nearly
sev?nty-five, then picking up a few
aloug the road until we reached
Aiken, oar crowd was again in
creased by fifty or sixty of the
Aiken people. In a few minutes
we ^et out ou the old South Caro
lina railroad to Charleston.
We had a short but pleasant ride
before we reached Branchville a
beautiful town at the junction of
the 3 C's (Charleston, Cincinnati,
and Chicago) and the South Caro
lina railroad.
The next place of any impor
tance-was new Denmark, situated
at the junction of the South Caro
lina and South Bound railroad.
This place we shall always remem
ber as" being the place of the
famous lynching of John Peterson.
He was hung to a small pine tree
and after being cut down the tree
was cut off about ten ?Vrf- ?-A1
. Li.* mm for a "nick's"
worth which he: gave him, just
then the train started off and the
two had quite a race but "cuffy"
got left without his nick.
We reached Charleston about
eleven a. m., and then took street
cars and went down to the wharf,
there securing a steamer we struck
out for the islands.
We went out by Fort Sumter
which is about four miles from the
city. This fort is where the first
gun of the late war waB fired and
is now a very strong fort: Thence
we went uver to Sullivan's Island.
This is a famous summer resort
and is noted for its beautiful
beach. We got to see Fort Moultre
which is on this island and also
the grave of the great Indian chief
Osceolla who died through grief,
being confinecTln one of the cells
of this fore as a prisoner. In this
fort there are cells resembling
those of a jail, and here many old
pieces of iron and bottles and stoves
may be found. One of our boys,
being "kinder green," asked his
escort if they shot those bottles and
stoves in the cannons, which were
placed abont twenty, steps behind
the fort amid thousands of balls,
but he was not much pleased with
his answer. Then going up on top
of the tort wo looked at the sea
and the beach. It was a beautiful
sight to see the waves coming in
and about two hundred people on
the sea shore rambling about in
the beautiful sand hunting shells.
Leaving this, island we boarded
our steamer and set out for the
city, but while on the way some of
our crowd not being used to the
water and the sea breeze lost their
hats. After a very pleasant ridy
on the waters we roache,I the city.
Then going down Meeting Street
we reached the Battery which pro
bably with its beautiful palmetto
and other trees and monuments
and pretty buildings in front is one
of the prettiest places of Charles
ton. We then took street cars and
going up Meeting Street saw the
great Charleston Hotel which is
the finest in the city, with its enor
mous pillars nearly twenty feet in
circumference. Thea up King
Street to the depot, where we ate,
drank, and talked until 7:30. Then
the train started off for Edgefield.
After each o.ie had told what he
had seen and the boys had finished
niakiug love to' their girls, nearly
everybody went to. sleep, having
lost so much the night befoie, and
those who were not asleep were
trying to get so. So the crowd was
not so jolly coming back as' *hey
were going down, but neve rtheless
we reached'Edgefield about 1:20
on "Wednesday morning. Then
each one made for home and the
bed. j
Those who did not go missed a
great deal and a grand opportunity,
and if they should ever have such
an opportunity again. I would ad
vise them to go.
At the first indication of disor
der, the deranged or enfeebled con
dition of the stomach, liver, bowels,
should be promptly rectified by
Ayer's Catharic Pills. These Pill *
do not gripe, are perfectly safe to
take, and remove all tendency to
livei and bowel complaints.

Harper's Weekly.
ILLUSTRATED.
HARPER'S WEEKLY is acknowledged
as standing first among illustrated
weekly periodicals in America. It oc
cupies a place between that of the
hurried daily paper and that of the
less timely monthly magazine. It in
cludes both literature and news, ana
presents with equal force and felicity
the real events of current history and
the imaginative themes of fiction. On
account of its very complete series of
illustrations of the World's Fair, it
will be not only the best guide to the
great Exposition, but also its best
souvenir. Every public event of gen
eral interest will be fully illustrated
in its pages. Its contributions being
from the best writers and artists in
this country, it will continue to excel
in literature, news, and illustrations,
all other publications of its class.,
