It not only prevents their having

ful contestants. Superintendent

Honey in Tomatoes.
A gentleman told us a few days
8go of the great success Mr. W.
H, Ryau, of Clark's Hill, has had
this year in growing tomatoes for
market. He planted something
over an acre and has sold, to this
gentleman's knowledge, something
liae $115 worth. How much moro
than that we do not know. Mr.
Ryan baa shipped t} points in
Virginia and northern markets.
Wheu Mr. Ryan undertakes any
thii.g, he goes at it in a business
like mauner, whether it be in
growing tomatoes, cotton or com.
An Error Corrected.
In writing of the . oat crop of
Dr. W. D. Ouzts last week, we
stated that he had a portion of
his oats thrashed and realized 238
bushele from 232 doz?n bundles.
\Ve should havo stated that 838
bushels were thrashed from the
232 dozen bundles, which was a
yield of H bushels per dozen.
Dr. Ouzts had 16 acres planted
that averaged 30 bushels.per acre.
This was a very excellent yield,
c-urpassiug all others of which we
have heard this year.
Exposition Party has Returned.
Nearly every town in the state
has furnished a merry, pleasure
seeking party of sight seers for
the 'Jamestown exposition but
none nave tent out a more'eon
genial party than the one which'
returned to Edgefiold last week,
being composed of Misses Madge
Mays'and Mattie Mims and Mes
srs Lovick Mims and Calhoun
Mays. Besides taking in tho ex
position and the many sights of
historic interest around Norfolk,
they visited Washington and other
cities. Young people cannot spend
their money to better advantage
than iii traveling. Better that by
far than spending it on dances
and things of that kind that afford
ouly fleeting pleasure and ab
solutely no profit.
Crops Around Cleora.
Judge P. W. Cheatham, who is
one of the most efficient magis
trates in the state and one who
oan bo relied upon to do his duty,
was in town on Saturday, He
says the crops aiound Cleora are
exceptionally fine We asked him
particularly " about the crops in
tb9 hail-stricken section above
Cleora, and he stated that they
were very promising. The com
of course stands an equal chance
with any late corn in the county
but a late fall will be essential to
a good yitld from the cotton. The
plant is in a flourishing condition
and is putting on forms rapidly
but time will be required to ma
ture the bolls. All along we havp
felt deeply for "those who suffered
so heavily from the hail and we
trust that they wiri be favored
wiTh a late fall.

Good Advice From Richard Carroll
Recently in addressing a large
picnic given by colored people in
Spartauburg county Rev. Richard
Carroll, the negro leader in the
state, gave his audience the fol
lowing good advice :
"Don't drink whiskey; drink
pure wate. Don't drink coco-cola
and sarsaparilla; drink 'Adam's
ale.' There is nothing like pure
water. Drink it ; bathe in it-it
will do you good. When I am
thirsty, I don't want all these
nameless kinds of 'pop.' Ju6t let
me get to a fountain of Go Ts pure
water. If God had meant for you
to have whiskey and beer and
'pop,' He would have sent streams
of it flowing through this beauti
ful land, cursing and blighting
every shore that it bathed."
Endorsement of Miss Couch.
Mr. J. B. Cumming*, president
of the East Lake Atheneum, East.
Lake, Ala., makes the following
complimentary endorsement of
Miss Couch who is to have charge
of the Music Department of the
college during the approaching
session :
"Mies Louise Couch bas been
director of music in East Lake
Atbeneum for one year, and it.
affords me pleasure to testify to
ber polished maunere, fine social
position, amiability of disposition
and conscientious discbarge of her
duties as instructor. She has given
me satisfaction, has been accept
able to the patrons and has com
manded the respect and love of
her pupils. AB an-instructor I
have found her thoroughly com
petent. The advancement and
thoroughness of her pupils as
shown by her entertainments have
won for her the . admiration of all
true lovers of music of a high or
der, who attended them. I cheer
fully reoommend her to those de
siring a first-class music teacher."
Log Creek Agricultural and Social
Clubs.
On the 13th of August, a num

rolled as members: D. B. Hol

Harris, W. R. Swearingen, W. F.

Warren Hill, Jno. B.* Hill, S. B.
Nicholson and Will Ransom. Mr.
John B. Hill was elected president
and VT. S. B. Nicholson was
elected secretary and treasurer.
. Such an organization should
exist in every oommuuity in the
colinty. Farmers eau protect and
promote their interests through
an organization more effectively
and more satisfactorily than they
can do as individuals. In a com
munity that is thoroughly organi
zed, and farmers become iutersst
ed in the. welfare of each other,
there will be no enticing of labor
from one farm to another, or bid
ding for labor in a way that total
ly demoralises the laboring class.
In the work of the Log Creek
Club, the social feature will be
made prominent, which will also
be helpful to the community.

Tho Colored People's Barbecue
The colored poople of bur towt
have gjvep two barbosues witbii
the last few weeks that were COD
ducted in a most orderly an
highly commendable manner. Th
first was under the managemea
of Burrell Yeldell and Normal
Youngblood, and the second bar
becue which was -given on Friday
last w?s in charge of Andrew Sim-;
kins, Jordan Simkins, Dennis
Wilson and other leading colored
men. The meats were well pre*
pared aud the dinner was spread
in the hall near Macedonia church*
Perfect order prevailed throughout
the day, not a drop of whiskeyJ
being allowed anywhere about theJ
premises. For oolored people tel
come together after the crops arel
"laid by" and enjoy a day social
ly, conducting everything in 8
most orderly manner, is entirely
proper and very commendable,
but the feature of the barbecue on
Friday, that deserves special men
tion and that is admired by all
right-thinking people was the
thoughtful remembrance of the
6ick. Those in charge of the din
ner arranged nice waiters ?t the
dinner hour and sent to the sick
people in the community, both
white and colored. This reflects a
kind and benevolent spirit that
is worthy of commendation.
