WALHALLA, 8. C.:
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1017.
FOR THE ORPHANS.
Announcement has been made to
the effect that the Thorn well Orphan
age ni Clinton, tho Connie Maxwell
Orphanage al Cl reen wood ind t'l?
I'lpworth Orphanage at Columbia will .
ask all tho friends in their various
constituencies to-observe Sunday, Oc
tober 13, as a Work DaV? for orphan
children. Tho plan is simple nnd
has been tried for several years with
great success. Tho idea is that on j
this special day every friend of each j
Institution will devote the income of
the day or the proceeds of larbor
done that day as a contribution to
the orphan boys and girls. We are
sn re Hie scheme will appeal to many !
of our people this year as it has done
in tho past.
"SIX DAYS SHALT THOU."
If there is one Biblical injunction
that The Courier force observes more
faithfully than another il is that
which enjoins six days of labor.
From Monday morning until Satur- .
day evening we are engaged in get
ting out The Courier, whose eight
pages are printed entirely at home. '
And yet there are those of our
friends who seem to think that the
office is closed all week until Wed
nesday morning; that then we speak
a word or two, and that tho eight
pages Of mal ter obligingly fall into
position, hop up on tho press, and
"go to lt" in the matter of printing,
malling, etc., right through the
whole printing process.
The fact of the matter ls that each
week we have, on Tuesday afternoon
and Wednesday morning, enough
"copy" furnished us to till several
pages of The Courier-matter that
might just lia well have been fur
nished to us r week earlier. An In
stance of thi, kind that occurred,
just a short tin a since will serve to
illustrate just what we are driving
at: Late on Tuesday evening a
young lady asked us If she could get
a short article In The Courier if she
would bring it to the office Wednes
day morning. She was told that sho
could not, "but," we added, "send lt
around and it will be In good time
for the week following." And lt
"(rame around"-Tuesday afternoon
n week later-just barely In time to
be gotten in shape for printing. lt
would have been no more trouble to
the young lady to have written tho
article six days before she finally
wrote it, and lt would have been
much less inconvenient to us.
The point wc wish to make is this:
Don't waste our time and yours ask
ing us "how lato can 1 get this In the
paper?" Co ahead and write, at the
llrst opportunity, what yon have to
say, and then get lt to us at once.
That will materially help us. and at
the same timo Insure the matter ap
pearing in the paper earlier than if
lt is kept over lo the last moment.

SALEM AND COMMUNITY.
"Ni B. ('." Takes Iiis Annual Outing
in tills Prosperous Section?
Salon), Au?. 2 1.-Editor Keowee
Courier: 1 have seen and lieu rd so
much that is pleasing during a two
weeks' sojourn in and around Salem
that I hardly know how to begin this
com muulcatiou.
I have seen Christians and Phari
sees, old and young people, sick and
well people, some contented and
happy, others sad and despondent.
The oldest tanners I have talked
to are unanimous in i lie opin ion that
crops in this community were never
helter, more promising and better
cull ?vated, seasons never more fav
orable than this year, and the farm
ers are looking forward ti a rich and
bountiful harvest this fall, and re
munerative prices for the products
ol' their labor. Upland corn is like
that grown on fertile bottoms, Inter
mingled with velvet beans, peas, and
old-time corn Held beans.
Potatoes-Irish and sweet-pea
nuts, turnips, rye, wheat, tomatoes,
melons, tobacco and cantaloupes are
largely grown on many farms. The
orchards, which are numerous, are
laden with luscious apples, pears and
peaches, while many are decaying on
Hie ground, it being impossible to
can, dry or preserve the surplus.
How thankful we should be to the
adorable ?iver of every good and
perfect gift, and to endeavor so to
live as to merl! a continuance of
thes?! rich blessings, while other
countries are suffering from bloody
war. dire pestilence and dreadful
famine.
I have been informed, by those :
who ought to know, that much ol' the
laud around here will produce a bale J
ot' cotton per acre, where thirty years ;
ago a cototli seed was never planted, '
and on lands which not many years
ago could have been bought for
2 fi cents per acre, and are now held
at from $1(3 to $">0 per acre. Some
have better crops than others, but
all are so tine I cannot particularize.
If present prospects are realized, i
there will lie no Western corn, and
not much Western meat, shipped to I
this neighborhood next year.
Salem has a good graded school,
with about iso pupils, taught by ?
Mr. Bickens and assistants.
A good school at Boone's Creek is '
(aught by Melton Lusk.
Two good churches, one Methodist ?
and one Baptist, Ave stores, one drug i
store, two cotton gins natl planing ,
mill and one grist mill, are found in J
Salem.
One mile Trout Salem E. B. Hag- j
gerty operates a cotton gin and grist j
mill, while he cultivates a small farm
on which lie says he can produce one
bale of cotton per acre, without com
mercial fertilizer, by the liberal uso
of home-made manure.
On Mr. Haggorty's place there ls.
a pretty knob on Lyda mountain, a
splendid site for a dwelling or hotel. |
On a clear day, from this point, with I
a magnifying glass, you can see Wal- !
halla, Seneca, Westminster, Pickens
Court House, i'amassee, Boone's
Creek church, Mountain View church
(in Pickens county), and the hotel
on Hog-Back Mountain.
Ceo. It. Pike is the oldest mer
chant In Salem, having located there
with a small stock of goods about 3 0
years ago. and engaged continuously
in merchandising ever since. As the
years passed his business has enlarg
ed and his business increased. He
has been a most useful citizen and
has done much for the community
In promoting education, morals and
religion. Mr. Pike married Miss
Mattie Perry, of Salem, and they
have two pretty little girls.
Protracted meetings have recently
been held at the Baptist and Metho
dist churches, in Salem, at Boone's
('reek and Mount Carmel, all of
which were well attended, and it is
hoped much good will result. There
were many accessions.
Rural police and revenue o Ulcers
have been diligent in the search for
illicit "booze" and "moonshiners".
With what success I nm unable to
state.
If any one will visit this section
at this season of the year, see the
nourishing crops, .inhale its pure
air, drink of its cooling waters, en
joy the hospitality of its people and
view its splendid natural scenery, he
will be loth to leave, and wish to re
turn each succeeding summer.

"I can pick up a log of wood and
throw it on the fire with as much
ease as I could 2 0 years ago." said
.Judge M. L. Woodson, of Jericho,
Ark., in telling of the remarkable re
sults he has gotten from Tanbie.
Judge Woodson, who is now 70
years of age, served tho entire four
year? of the Civil War. Ile lived
two years in Memphis right after the
war and then settled down at his
present estate, where he has lived
tor ."?0 years. Judge Woodson said
??is only possessions when he started
out for himself were a pair of mules
and $38 In cash. Ho has made his
fortune farming and trading, and ls
now probably the wealthiest planter
in Crittenden county. He served
two years as tax assessor and twenty
yea rs as justice of the peace, and is
one of the most prominently known
men of Arkansas.
"I had been in a generally run
down condition and failing health for
in or 12 years," he continued, "and
for the past 10 years I wasn't able to
get on my horse from the ground. I
had to lead him up to a block or
something before I could mount.
Jericho is a mile and a half from my
plantation, and I hadn't been able to
walk there for my mail, as luid been
my custom, for a year or two. 1 had
lost my appetite and could hardly
cai anything at all. I realize a man
70 years old will give away, but I got
so I could not put a log of wood on
the lire when the negroes were not
handy. My doctor wouldn't allow
nie to eat any meats or much else
except vegetables, as 1 had been
threatened with diabetes; but Tan
lac has even straightened nie out in
that respect. 1 was badly out of
sorts and it looked like nothing I
could take would do me any good or
give nie enough strength to look af
ter my farm hands and my crops.
"Last spring, when Tan lac began
to bc advertised and everybody was
talking about it, 1 decided to seo,
what it would do for me. Well, it
got nie started back up hill at once;
but. without going into details about
my rapid improvement with each
bottle, I'll just say that after taking
six bottles I could straddle my horse
from the ground and walk that mile
and a half for my mail with all ease.
In fact, it just built me up until I
felt 20 years younger. I'm more
active and have more strength and
energy than I've had in years. That's
what Tanlnc has done for me. . I
don't know what Tanlac has in it
that does you so much good, but
whatever it is, it certainly hits the
spot and builds you np better than
anything I ever saw. lt certainly
made a new man of me and I've told
a lot of people about it. My wife
has taken it, too, and it has built her
up wonderfully. And I've bought
lots of it for my negroes and it has
helped all of them that have taken
it."

lMCKETT-DoBRUHL WEDDING.
Tlic Ceremony Cunio us Surprise t<?
Gntheriiig ut Family Reunion.
On Tuesday, August 14th, in the I
historical church of Bethel, Oconee
county, tliere was solemnized the
marriage of Miss Tallulah May
Pickett and hld ward Calhoun De- i
Br?hl, both Of Greenville, S. C. It'
was on the occasion of a family re
union of the descendants of the late
Samuel lt. MoFail, and perhaps 60
members of this family were pres
ent, not one knowing of the surprise
marriage except the members of the
bridal party.
On arriving at Bethel it was sug
gested by Rev. I. E. Wallace, pastor
of Richland Presbyterian church,
that every one go into the church for
a short service. "Blest be the tie
that binds" was sung, followed by a
prayer and a few appropriate re
marks on home ties by Rev. Wal- ?
lace.
Immediately the strains of the
wedding march were heard, Mrs. L.
D. Wyly, of Seneca, being at the
organ, and the bridal party entered
from the front of the church, com
ing down opposite aisles. The maid
of honor was Miss Louise DeBruhl,
sister of the groom; bridesmaid,
Miss Hortense Jones. They were
both becomingly dressed in white
suits, with hats to match. The
groom entered with his best man,
D. A. Henning, of Greenville, from a
sido door. The bride entered lean
ing on the arm of her uncle, Harry
McEall Pickett, who gave her away
In tho unavoidable absence of her
father. The bride was never lovelier
than at this time, gowned in an ele
gant suit of blue, with hat and
gloves to match, and carrying an
arm bouquet of white, roses and or
chids. The impressive ring ceremony
was used by the officiating minister,
Rev. I. E. Wallace, of Seneca.
Sweet indeed was the scene of the
marriage, with such a unique and
romantic setting, in the quaint old
church of the bride's ancestors, nes
tled in tho foot-hills of the Blue
Ridge mountains, and with only
those present who were dearest to
the heart of the young couple.
After the young couple were show
ered with good wishes, every one
present wont on to Oconee Station,
as was previously arranged, (the old
homestead of the great-grandparents
of the bride.) Here an elegant pic
nic dinner was served, with the
bride's bouquet and the lovely wed
ding cake forming tho centerpiece.
Much merriment was had in the cut
ting of the cake and on learning the
fate of those who cut the emblems.
Mrs. DeBruhl is tho daughter of J.
