may want, in fact we do job work of
every description.
We note that Mr. J. B. Jones, a na
tive and former resident of our town,
is a candidate for the House of Repre
sentatives from Saluda county. Saluda
will make no mistake if she sends him
to the legislature as one of her law
makers. He will do no discredit to
his parentage or people.
Mr. Joe Holland liassent us an Irish
potato through which a sprig of wire
grass has grown. How did it get
there? Did the grass grow through
the potato or'how? It is a great curi

as a hoodoo to conjure Spaniards when
he reaches the Moro Castle.
Capt. Stan Ryan says that in the
Confederate war the Confederates
always won the victory when ever they
went into battle hungry. This, Stan
says, was a rule that had no excep

to put him on to this racket, but the
General had gone to Washington.

on acconnt of his weight, and enlisted
a second time in another company and
was rejected again. He still hopes,
however, to get in the army.

If any of our readers have an idea of
taking a tour this summer we would
commeod to their consideration The
Atlantic Hotel, Moorehead City, N. C
This elegant seaside hotel, with 300
rooms, is the largest and best equipped
in the South.
The Messrs. Pettyjohn, of Augusta,
Ga., are in charge and will be glad to
see you or to hear from you. They are
not only good business men but most
affable ard courteous gentlemen.
When yon visit Augusta should you
fail to lodge at the Commercial Hotel
you will make a big mistake. You do
not get your meals there, only your
rooms, but such rooms-spacious, lofty,
well furnished, sering beds, mosqtrto
nets, ice water, bath rooms, etc. The
Pettyjohn Bros., Jeasees, are at present
at their summer hotel, "The Atlantic,'
Moorehead City, N. C. But they have
left in charge as general manager Mr.
J. W. Munger, who is a most ellicient
and attentive boniface. Try the Com
mercial once and you will never give
it up.

Death of Mrs. Hilton.
Mrs. James G. Hilton died last Fri
day night at her home near Fellow
ship church in this county. This was
the saddest death of the year, as Mrs.
Hilton was in her usual health Friday
morning, had prepared a picnic din
j ner for the family, and Mr. Hilton and
the children had gone, enjoyed the oc
casion and returned, finding ber still
well. But before the shades of the!
evening fell upon the earth the good
wife and mother was stricken and in j
midst ot' the night the precious life
departed. How strikingly troe was
the inspiration of Wilder when he
wrote these lines :
"My life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
And ere the shades of eveningclof e
Is scattered on the ground to die."
M. . xitlton was a daughter of Ar W.
Adams, deceased, a well known lawyer
of Edgelield years ago. and a neice of
Dr. P. i?. Adams, of Phoenix, and Mrs.
E. A. Hackett of this city. A husband
and niue children are in mourning to
day over the loss of a wife and mother
whose presence will come to them no
more only in fond and tearful recol
lections of her inestimable worth In
the h( ur of such sorrow there is refuge
and comfort alone ia rhe great Fa. her,
whose linger points to the Paradise ol'
the immortals where loved ones .shall
one day meet again nmid rhe gladness
of the eternal ages.-Greenwood In

all love him. He will not send them
into any danger where he will not
go himself, and not a man under

how to anticipate their wants and

Sunday morDing with Mr
Walter Gillion as pilot we bead
ed for Wards. After a rather
warm drive of two hours through
a magnificent section of our coun
try we arrived at the pretty little
town of Wards on the Southern
Railroad. We drove at once to the
pleasant home of Capt. Clinton
Ward, whose doors are always
open to strangers as well as to
intimate friends and acquaintances
with that hopitality born of a
typical South Carolina gentry.
Refreshing ourselves with cool
water, and still having a few
moments to spare before church
time, we took a stroll into his
superbly arranged and well kept
gardens and vineyards. The
flower garden bespoke taste and
refinement; the vegetable, thrift
and energy; the vineyard, ease
and luxury. In the latter there
are one hundred varieties from
the sour fox and wild bull to the
delicate flavored malaga, luscious
coucord aod the old standby
scuppernong.
Services bad commenced when
we got to the church. We found
about as many people outside the
shade of the spreading oaks as
there were in the church. At the
same time the church was full, so
that we had to take a seat on Btep
of rostrum or stand. We preferred
the steps. Rev. Reamy of John
ston preached an excellent mis
sionary sermon from the story of
Jonah.
After the devotional services,
everybody was invited to a splen
did dinner sumad under those
shady oaks. The representative
of The Sentinal was looked after
by the ladies and right royally
did he fare. In the aftenoon the
last subject on the program,
"Which is the better method of
teaching the Sunday Scnool
lesson,' askiog question or .lettiog
the sc?olars?" It. was noted that
the query was worded wrong and
it should have been ''lecturing"
instead of "letting." However
this little error only added to tbe
interest of the debate and tho
speakers all agreed that moio
interest could be created in a
recitation by giving the children
an opportunity to , ask questions.
Mr. S. J. Watson opened with a
neat little speech laden with good
practical suggestions for successful
teaching. Capt. Joe Edwards
introduced Mr. H. S. Cunning-,
ham of Saluda, who made a few
remarks on ?he practical side.
Kev. Reamy, Mr. M. W. Peurifoy
and the Moderator. Mr. P. N.
Lott, made short, but interesting
talks. After a little more routine
business and resolutions of thanks
to these good people for taking
care of them so well during the
convention adjoured. being one of
the best and largest ever hold in
the Union. After a sojourn of a
couple of hours with the genial
captain and his estimable wife,
who, by the way, might bo called
the motb.jr of this church, we
ordered our horse. While waiting,
we were shown many ancient and
valuable relic of the family.
We have often heard the expres
sion. "Take a horn with me." We
saw a genuine horn cup that was
in use by the elder Wards ono
hundred years ago before the uso
of glass tumblers. One of the
few busts nov; in existence of
Calhoun, books of 1670, a news
paper about ?he size of a single
sheet of fools cap published in
those days on hemp paper, a wax
taper that once burned in the bod
chamber of Queen Victoria, which
was given to Captain Ward's
ancpstor, who was a warm friend
of the Queen, and many otbor
relics that our space won't permit
us to mention this time.-Saluda

OUR HOSPITAL SHIP.
Tho Solace, our hospital ship,
was a fine steamer of the Morgau
Line, fitted up with 500 spring
beds, and several hundred ham
mocks, medical and surgical stores,
delicate food especially prepared
for the 6ick and wounded,, with
a iot of surgeons and nurses aboard.
It accompanies the war ships as
an angel of mercy. Tho other ships
go out kill and destroy; she to
receive the maimed aud dying.
The Solace is painted white and
green, the most conspicuous colors,
and stands high out of the water,
RO that she can be seen at a long
long distance, while at her mast
heads float the flag of the Red
Cross, which will protect her from
all civilized enemies. This is a
new idea in warfare. In the midst
of a battle she will stand by out of
danger, but within signaling
distance, and when the fighting is
over, the othei ships will deliver
to ber the wounded to be cared
for'and the d<;ad to be prepared
for burial. If a ship of the enemy
is captured or sum*, she will offer
her merciful hospitality to it offi
cers and crew.

the worst cases.
. My son, Charlie, was afflicted from infancy
with Scrofula, and he suffered so that it was
impossible to drees him
?or three years. His
head and body were a
mass of sores, and his
eyesight also became
affected. Ifo treatment
was spared that we
thought would relieve
him. but he grew worse

prises portions of Aiken, Edgefleld, Lexington and Saluda Counties. It
JP absolutely free from malaria. The ?ame diurnal range of temperature
as Santa Barbara, Cal.
2nd.-Johnston is a moral community with few allurements to vice. No bar
rooms or vicious company to degrade the students.
3rd.-The Superintendents conduct two boarding halls-Pickens Hall for
young men ar,<i Rebecca Motte Hall for young ladie3. In these Halls the
students are under restrictions and give their undivided time to their
studies.
14th.-The Instituteis conducted ona Military basis. Boys are permitted, but
not required, to wear uniforms. This i mform is cheap,handsome and
durable. Students are taught to obey, as one can never rule well until
he first learns to obey well.

keeping, Painting and Music. Call and see the character of work done.
Our rooms are open to inspection.

Herbert, Miss A. S. Arnold, Miss Sophie Swearingen, Mrs. L. C.Latimer,
