TWO MAYER MEMORIAL CHURCH Class Xo. 2 of Mayer (Memorial church "went to Little Mountain Saturday and spent a very pleasant day on the mountain. All enjoyed the day and especially the dinner. Such a dinner as would tempt the appetite of any one, even ?A,n,f /1i/1 full I UUi JSHJil &upcinnciiuc;ui uiu iun juotice to the dinner. The table groaned beneath, its load before dinner a.id the people groaned after dinner. We amused ourselves by playig all kind of games and enjoying the beautiful scenes of nature, even the sight of a couple snakes was exciting fun for a while. Later in the afternoon we all climbed to the top of the mountain and viewed the surrounding country. We all regretted to see the day come to a close and later to hear the shrill whistle of the train that was to carry us hack to Newberry. The class is honing to have an other picnic this summer.

H. (X STOl I Newberi CAMPING ON MT. MITCHELL interesting1 Booklet Issued By the Southern Railway. >.Uiat is believed to be one of the best books on campiing in the mountains that has been issued in some time is now being distributed by the .>nnthprn Railway. The book is call- ! ed "Camping on Mount Mitchell," and tells mostly about camp life in the national forests, which have within the last few years, been created by the United 'States government. The booR contains a letter from Col. H. S. Graves, chief forester, United States department of agriculture, addressed to Mr. W. H. Tayloe, passenger traffic manager, Southern Railway, Washington, D. C.f which starts out with the very interesting statement: "1 am very much interested in the j j development of the Appalachian Xa-' [-tional forests for recreational pur-1 i poses. The enjoyment by the public I j of the national forests for all sorts j ; of outdoor recreation is recognized as I I one ot tneir important uses una <nnpi- j ! regulations exist for the purpose of | | facilitating this use to the fullest ex- j j tent.' The title page of this book reads: j j "Issued by the Southern Railway,? j : who are indebted to the cooperation ! of the forest service.

The object of the United' States forest service and the South-' ern Railway is to bring the advan-' tages of the National Forests in Western North Carolina to the attention of the people in the warmer sections of the South as an important item of outdoor life, which is so generally accepted in modern times as one of the best avenues to health.)

Abbeville Press and Banner. , The Manning politicians are busy now giving out "Dibble's figures." < a farnipr frnm Olewberrv has been sent down to Columbia to give out some Manning dope, and he informs . us through the columns of The :Re- } cord that Cooper will get fifteen ( thousand votes in the first race this summer. ] It is also stated that Governor Manning has been up to Jones to a j picnic, and that tne people in inai i. section do not know what Cooper is running for, and that he "will get no votes in that section." Manning has also carried a cotton mill or two in Laurens, and is about to carry 1 the Ware 'Shoals mill. In fact, as i we stated last week, he wii continue ] to carry the State several times a : day, until election day, -when it "will t be found that he ran himself to death c before, the race really began. SBut all this talk is intended to foo! the people and to deceive them into < k N MOTORCYCLES .O'S BEST rcycles cheap. Trade in it a new one. Buy a new ments and pay while vou 1 ME. Dealer. ry. S.

Cooper will poll more than fifteen thousand votes in Greenville, Oconee, Pickens, An- ( derson, Abbeville, Greenwood, ajid Laurens counties. If any farmer In Newberry wants to bet a bird'6 nest against a year's subscription to a ! paper which will give him some light, # , on whether we are right or not, the opportunity is now fcis. Manning will be short about thirtyfive thousand votes of the estimate of his followers and pro<bably more. Cooper will lead in the first race tor governor, and the second race will i be between Cooper and Manning. A This is our prediction. Post it up 1 on the wall alongside the Manning figures and see who is nearer the re suit when it is pronounced by the people who vote, and not by the politicians who talk.
