Since the blind tigers have been put out of business in Columbia the "social clubs" are on deck, dispensing li-J quor for gain. What prosti tution ! That goes Chicco one better. The northern people now have the negro question to solve and while we of the South do not laugh at their calamities it is just a bit in terestingto see how distaste ful it is to the Yanks. A full pint of freshly roast ed peanuts eaten just before retiring is said to superinduce sleep, being a certain cure for insomnia. Such a reme dy, taken at such an hour, may cure insomnia but would cause acute appendicitis or something akin to it. Who would have thought it, a tidal wave of prohibition is sweeping over Texas. Pro hibition has been carried in 130 counties and in 59 others the sale of liquor has been re stricted to large towns. Gov ernor Lanham is an out-and -out prohibitionist and is aid ing in the movement. The shades of Harriet Beecher Stowe are greatly disturbed. Booker Washing ton, than whom, in the esti mation of the north, "the father of his country" was not greater, has been hissed and howled down while addressing ?egro assemblage in Boston irt of New England, rr x xinxrarr- -?las" accrr turing "tour through northwest and judg ing from the reports of his speeches he must have car ried a brand new pitchfork with him, which he used mer cilessly on the advocates of social and political equality of the two races in the south. The supreme court and the circuit judges, sitting en bane, have decided that railroads cannot require a passenger who failed to purchase a tick et, to pay twenty-five cents in excess of the regular fare, as has been the custom in the past. All that a conductor can collect under the law is three cents per mile. The encampments of the state militia that are being held this summer are reviv ing or creating a military spirit that is needed af this juncture. Every town or densely populated community -should have a military com pany. Preparing for war in time of peace often prevents war. Race riots will never occur where an armed body of men can be mobilized on ~~short notice. May Edgefield yet be imbued with this mili tary spirit and revive the de funct Edgefield Rifles. The people wax warm with good roads enthusiasm in mid-winter when the freezes and hub-deep mud make road building well nigh inipossi ble. NOW is the time to TALK and DO road work ing. Better results can be had from one day's work in August than from a whole week in January. The traces of last winter's holes and ruts can be seen and FELT as one travels over the roads of our county. These can be easily filled now but if allow ed to remain till the rains, freezes and heavy hauling set in ?t will then be too late. That a stitch in time saves nine is truer of road repairing than anything else. Those in authority should use every means at their command, as doubtless they will do, to cov er as many miles of the roads as it is possible to do before the rainy season begins. KHAKI AND MUSLIN. T?irty-Second Annual .Picnic of the Hussars-A Ne Plus Ultra. With buoyant spirits aud happy in the anticipation of attend ing for the first time the world renowned Lauham Spring picnic, we set out on Thursday morning last with another one of Edgefield's dead game sports, hav ing this historic spot-where tho Hussars have won 32 consecu tive social conquests-as our des tination. All went swimmingly till we began to climb the bumpy, rutty, rocky, ' rooty, gullied and horny hills qf|Horu's.Criek. TheBe highways, byways, or whatever you call them-let us not dignify them with the name of roads-proved to be too much for a frail vehicle of the rubber tire pattern. A deep gully, a sudden twist, a loud rattle told the tale-a broken buggy. Out on the ground we leaped, and being a time when necessity failed to be the mother of invention, we trudged along for a mile amid alter nating sand, rocks and gullies in quest of a vehicle-just any old thing. After becoming dust be grimed, perspiration besmeared and footsore, ready to fall by the wayside, along came two good Sa maritans, Messrs. M. P. Wells aud John R. Tompkins, who took UB under the shadow of their wings and agaiu all went swimmingly. Supervisor Self is a big man but the ''goblins will git him" if he does not. have a rock piling and gully filling up and down the mountains of Horn's Creek before many moons. At last, after a journey ot ten miles, so called, we were, although a little the ?vorse for wear, on the spot. Aud a beautiful, rhougu se questered, spot it is. As we ap proached, gazing admiringly upou the panoramic view of this much talked-of rendezvous, a natural amphitheatre, sweet strains of I music and sounds of revelry by I day reached our ears. The crowd -usiig the word with much em phasis-had gathered from two states. The "sajd-lappers" of Caroliua and the "crackers" of Georgia were there, all in picuic attire-the, breeziest their ward robe afforded-with a go-easy, go lucky, just-anytbing-for-fuu air prevaihug. The crowds that an nually assemble at Lanham Spring are unique in that they are more dignified than are crowds that gather on other similar oc casions. The young people arc gay but never frivolous and the older ones enter heartily into the spirit of the occasion with becom ing grace. We had often heard of the hos pitality and the splendid manuer in which the Hussars. :rue to the ttaditions of their fathers and grand fathers, conduct these an uual functions but the half had never been told. One has to be an attendant, a guest of the com pany, to really form an adequate idea; of the charming spirit and AT?oon as one sets root upon the grounds lie,feels_.that he ia among fri??ds-whb welcome his coming into their midst. This alone, without the many pleasures inci dent to such an occasion, would make the hours of the day speed rapidly away. The Hussars, in prepariug the great feast that was spread upon the long tables, either over esti mated the crowd that would be in attendance or thought those pres ent would have large appetites and still larger capacities, for there was more of the feast remaining after all had been fed than re mained after the feeding of the multitude upon the loaves and fishes. Not only had the fatted calves been slain but sheep and swine had been slaughtered in great numbers and prepared to suit the king's taste. Those who attend the Lanham Spring picnics always oxpect and are never disap pointed in getting a royal dinner. The music, which was so en chanting and inspiring even to the elderly, was furnished by a band of six pieces from Augueta. The old as well as the new dances were engaged in so that all who I desired to do so could participate. The dancers were happy in love's embrac j and with light hearts and lighter feet tripped gracefully over the marble-like floor. The pavilion, which is very comforta ble and substantially constructed, was a little crowded at times but 3ome of the young people econo mized space by dancing in con- I spicuously close proximity. Thus ' ill W9nt well and the occasion rvas pronounced the most pleasant me that has ever been held. Of Capt. N.G. Evans and his faith ful committemen, who put self in ;he back ground and worked like Trojans to enhance the pleasure of :heir guests, too much praia* can not be said. One does not longer yonder that the fame of Lauham Spring has gone out to the four somers of the earth after seeing vhat manner of men are back of t. Three cheers to Capt. Evans _ ind his gallant mer ' May their sanner float triump ly to the )reexe so long as M: , shall roll ( lis ceaseless course . \ JOHNSTON. Happenings nf Interest from Our Neighboring Town.
