GraniteviUe News. From Our Regular Correspondent. Gkantthvjllk, 8., C. ) June 20, ItfSG.f The Moonlight Picnic on Tuesday night at Mr. Howland’s farm, was a complete success. About eight o’clock the crowd started from the village in a large wagon,bnggies.and carriages and had ou/iyed a delightful ride bygnoon light. Arriving safely they were met by the kind host, who had his grounds and house brilliantly illuminated with Chinese lanterns. A number of ladies and gentlemen from Aiken attended. Dancing vocal and instrumental music, and flirtations were participated in, re freshments were served and in the wee small hours all drove home, fatigued but happy. Many thanks are accord ed to Mr. Howland for making all of his guests spend a most enjoyable evening. A little Dukes boy was very severe ly hurt in the factory on Wednesday by the elevator coming down on him and mashing his shoulder and neck against a post, it was thought that his neck was broken, but happily for him such was not the ease.Fie is slowly im proving, though painfully bruised. A stag barbecue took place on tho road near Vaucluse on Thursday. Quite a number of our men attended.

Would that tiie surroundings were more auspicious Would -that the principal of thi- seliool had more to encourage him in tiie good work in which lie is engaged. Would that instead of this old build ing, we had here a fine sclvool house and i graded school open iu all of its depart ments. But by taking courage from what has been done and with awakened effort much more can and ought to be done in our midst for tiie education ol our sons and daughters. If there ever was a time in the history of the South when her sons and daugh ters should have laid deep the founda tions of an intellectual, moral and spirit ual education, now is the time. Siie ha- jassed through the crucible of war. By the arbitraments of arms the fetters of a peculiar institution have been stricken from her energies.

This she can do, but tlii- she can only do by tiie intelligent educa tion of her children. If there ever was a time in tiie history of our grand old Commonwealth, our be loved Carolina, when her sons and daughters should be baptized and re- baptized in tiie living waters of in telligent education, now is the time There was a time when she was the brightest jewel that sparkled in the Southern Cross. Tnere was a time when the voices of her statesmen were heeded in the National affairs of the republic.

Miss. T.

Mrs. Emma Mitchell and Mr. Ben Brooks were married ou Thursday :iight. Our young men serenaded them on Saturday night, and during tiie progress, or pauses in the music such words as these could be heard, “lieu J wish you much joy,” “Ben don’t you feel nappy.” Jas. L.

John Humphries has been teaching in our ueeighborhood one of the tiuest schools in the County. The school lasted untill Alay 8th a period ol of seven months with an attendance of from 35 to 60 students. He is a faithful and conciencious teacher and is generaly admired by all. We think the old style of teaching is gradu allv disappearing and in the future we will have more energy and capacity which will doubtless bring into exis tence more Calhouns and Clays. Air. Gunter who has been attending Prof. Busbee’s Leesville School, has received his diploma, having gradu ated with honor in the commercial department of the institution. He dis played so much ability that lie has been retained as principal teacher in the business department. We feel sure fhis young man will succeed in life, and that his business qualifiea- tions, will always command a good salary. Crops are much better than last year and gardens are as line as need be. A few days ago we called on Air. Gardner who lately married adaugh- ter of Mr. Will Boylston. He is run ning a ten horse farm and a saw mill owned by Air.

During our visit to Graniteville on Wednesday last, sve had the pleasure of meeting Air. B. C. Hard, the pre decessor of the late Capt. J. H, Giles in the Secretaryship of the Grauite- ville Factory. He is a venerable gen tleman between TO and 80 years of age, apparently in the enjoyment of vigorous health, and is now farming near Williamston in Anderson Coun ty. He is atfeetionulely remembered by many of the old citizens of Gran iteville, but witli the exception of Airs. 8. Cadle, he is the only one left of the older inhabitants. When he resigned his posi tion he was presented by the Board of Directors with a handsome silver service accompanied by resolutions expressing their appreciation of his faithful and valuable services, and re gret mg tiie severance of bis connection with tiie company.
