First, he must advertise the goods which he desires to sell in tne surrounding territory. He will be caref"\ in filling orders, seeing to it that customers are satisfied. He will s-e- , curely pack his shipments, with the : knowledge that mail is transported in , lino's and sacks and thrown on trains, h v. ? from train to train, and off trains; from wagons and trucks to platforms and from platforms to wagons and 1 trucks.

Last y-ar the driver .of an automobile was approaching { \ Gaffney. Near the town is a sort of reverse crook in the road and there is a narrow bridge about eight feet high. At one end of the bridge is a i ~ 1 1 ? -v It ic fnnr ! A'UCtV. Willi UiUtrtT LU l/UC i uau? Ik lo i.vu> i or five feet high. The driver of the machine rushed down grade at high speed, made the short turn to enter the narrow bridge, when his automo- j bile jumped over the rock wall. It is j not known how fast he was running, but he was doing his best. He was not seriously injured. Was lie sane | or not when rushing round that cor-1 ner at high speed? In the races, many ; of which took place last Friday, the drivers are oblivious to every thing except speed. On the public highway all thought is centered on their machine and the speed they are making. If not insanity, it is a sort of speed : mania, which causes the driver or thi rider of a motor cycle to rush forward at highest speed. Narrow roads, dangerous curves, street cars and rail* ' way trains never cause them to check! up. It is the experience of some ofj the drivers that their only ideal when running very fast is to move a little 'aster. .Since speed maniacs are unible to protect themselves or others t is well for officers of the law to : jrotect them as far as possible. AT GETTYSBUBG. Sen. B. H. Teague, Commander of S. f. Division. U. C. Y.. Writes of the Gathering of Yeterans on Historic Field. To the Editor of the State: By this time the South Carolinians vho attended the Gettysburg reunion lave no doubt returned and are at lome again after experiencing one of he most remarkable and wonderful rips of their lives. The majority went in th-e Southern railway's special rain, which started from Augusta last lunday afternoon and which landed s at Gettysburg six hours late, our .elay in the beginning being caused j tr +1-.^ nrrtvprhial "Tint h?TV " .Tnst. I 1 V bug pi V ) V J, v v-^ w 4 iere it may be well to draw conclu- < ions as to which is to be preferred, ) be delays of a special train or the other of change of cars on a regu- 1 ar schedule, which will get you there i .1 time. Our special landed ns at ight in the grand camp and we were : oon in our quarters, but to our dis- < lay found our tents pretty general- ; y depleted of cots and bedding?a aid having b?en made on them by thers who wanted to double their hare. It was not long, though, be- - 3re those were replaced and tired eterans lay upon tfie battleffeTd. Super had been missed so that all were eady for the ample breakfast that r ras given them in the morning. The art of the camp allotted the Con- 1 sderate veterans was along Conf-ed- S rate avenue of the now beautifully j aid out battlefield and fortunately a < rove of trees between it and the < ents proved a source of great com- j ort, for the weather the whole week ] /as fearfully hot. Our State flag was ] jlanted at the head ?f the street of ] Q6 soulfl uaruu.ua camp as wa^ aisu ) l genuine palmetto tree, :he gift of ^our liberal and spirited townsman, 3ol. W. A. Clark. The camp was lIso designated by the streamers vhich adorned our special train and vhich bore the device "South Caroina Veterans for Gettysburg." These jmblems attracted immediate attention md caused a visitation to us of many ? - * Li.. ^ lunareas 01 tne Doys m uiue. Soon after breakfast on Tuesday morning the men scattered, each one anxious to find the spot where 50 years ago he had shot his foe, captured his flag, lay wounded or attained his' nearest .approach to the enemy's line of battle. Many attended the meetings in the "big tent," which had a capacity for 15,000 people and which at any meeting was no less than two-thirds full. Tae numerous historic point:? of the battlefield, the camps of the different States, the monuments on the field, the special reunions, the exercises of each day, and the magnificent display of fireworks all contributed towards filling every moment of our stay full of in terest and pleasure. The magnitude of that great camp was astounding and illuminated at night by myriads of electric lights. A survey of it was a most beautiful and brilliant sight. The systematic management of this great gathering of people was a wonder of itself and it was its efficient employment of a small army of United States soldiers, State constabulary and I civilians that protected the crowds from harm and perfected the details which abounded in such pleasure,, comfort and satisfaction for them. It was the most successfully stupendous | undertaking in a semi-civil and military way ever undertaken in any age, and fortunate and bless-ed was the individual who was there as a guest of the great and grand State of Pennsylvania. The spirit of friendliness and j amity that pervaded the meeting of j this multitude of people was beyond comprehension and comparison. The j lMvnri" iroc nfforr>rl pnntimiallvf glau liaiiu ?? - and continually grasped and shaken, so that thousands of arms are sore from the muscular demonstration of good will. The speeches at all the meetings had never even a semi-note of discord, but breathed and proclaim ed for the hereafter a spirit of American brotherhood, comradeship and peace. Never again on earth do we believe there will be gathered together such an audience of gray haired and bald headed men whose ages ranged between 65 and 80 years of age, as was seen at the meetings in the auditorium during the four days of this Gettysburg semi-centennial celebration. -Such was its magnitude; such nroo fho imnrpc! r?f itc snirit and snr?h was its pleasure, that in the language of a veteran one will cease dating every happening as occurring "since the war," but as "since the Gettysburg reunion." The only parade that took place of veterans was that of the Virginians, who marched from camp to the headquarters of the governer of their State and were reviewed by him and then received a Confederate battleflag, captured during the war and now returned by their commander. Col. iMann, of Wisconsin, and accepted by Gov. Mann, of Virginia. Both of tttese whole-souled anci patriotic veterans made appropriate speeches, fitting the occasion. Anoth- j er most pleasing incident was. the j presentation by members of the Gettysburg commission of a gold medal and silver loving cup to the general secretary, Col. Lewis E. Beitler, under whose remarkable ability the Gettysburg celebration was so successfully managed. ; I B. H. Teague. | Aiken, July 7. / ^" WILL GO TO SUPREME COrRT.
