It is always a pleasure to have the privilege of spending the day among those open-hearted j generous Salemites, and when- e ever an opportunity presents it- c self, it is a keen disappointment I when we find ourself unable to accept their invitation. Through s the thoughtfulness of several c friends we were honored with invitations to attend a Sunday s school celebration and picnic at Pine Grove church last Satur day. We went over on Friday t afternoon and spent the night at s Mr. Alonzo Smith's: on the way ( we had the pleasure of a long i conversation with a Mr. Roland, a whom we found to be a man of s much travel and thoroughly posted on current events. He at one time held an important posi tion under Col. McIver State Treasurer, and has traveled all over the United States and Mex- d ico. Mr. Roland has been living in the Turbeville section for sev eral years, and has become con tented with farm life. Saturday t morning we drove down to the t church and the people from far n and near were gathering. Lem- 1 onade vendors had erected their d stands and were doing a thriving t business. Candidates were there t from Senator down, and such t hand-shaking was a caution, but f it was a field day for the politi- ' cian and he took advantage of it. Pine Grove church is one of the finest church edifices in the county, large, airy, handsomely I carpeted, and as well equipped as any church we have ever en- d tered outside of a large city. C There had been erected above b the chancel a broad platform, : and the decorations were not s only pretty but very appropri-c ate. Pastor Whitaker has every a reason to feel proud of this charge; the auditorium was fill- C ed to overflowing and many had to stand, while at least 200 peo- e ple did not get in the church at c all. The crowd is estimated at 3 over 700. The following pro gram was carried out in a man ner to win praises for those who b had the training of the children: 1. Children's day greeting exercise. T 2. Welcome song. 3. Prayer closing with the Lord's Prayer. 4. Anthem.b 5. Questions on growth, etc. e 6. Hosanna to Jesus-song. a 7. Till he come-exercise. c 8. Touns achild of hope etc-song. 9. Christ the childrens friend. 10. What a friend-song.t 11. The alphabetical temperance s psalm. 12. Little thoughts for Jesus-song. f 13. The childrens kingdom. a 14. Weils of salvation. 15. Something in the Bible for chil-a dren etc. 16. The child among the Nazareth hills-song. 17. The child of Nazareth. 18. The word I lost. t 19. Not invited. t 20. Singing praises.b 21. Collection. 22. The living Christ. 23. Address by Prof. Clinkscales 24. Good by-song. Professor Clinkscales deliver ed an admirable address. He is y a forceful speaker, and his ap peals for the education of the d young men were bristling with g logic, pathos and humor. He I would have the audience in deep 1' study one moment, and the next in a roar of laughter, and we un derstand that he has succeeded in inducing a number of boys to attend Wofford. In front of the stage was erect ed a set of scales, having buckets ( on either side, and there was I conkiderable rivalry among the children to get the most money ~ for their respective sides. It t was indeed a unique or rather a f Celydesque way of gathering in C shekels for a worthy cause. The children did their parts well and there were several features de- z serving of more than casual no- r tice. Among the voices were a a a number which attracted the at- r tention of the visitors. Miss a Mattie Green was the organist. d After the exercises in the church, came the dinner, a regu lar Salem dinner, where every- t body was made welcome and to r feel at home. It is not necessa ry to enumerate what was there, i for those who have eaten a Salem E picnic dinner understand that i everything toothsome that could E be prepared by a people who un derstand the art of cooking was plentifully served, and served with that whole-souled hearti- ~ ness which made the stranger I home-folks.1 Children's day at Pine Grove was a great success, and we hope ~ that when the school opens un der the leadership of Professor a Helms that there will be an ad- a ministration the whole commu- I nity will feel proud of. Prof. -Helms is now in the community, he came down to stay until school ~ opens and in the meantime he ~ proposes to visit among the pa- 3 trons to get acquainted, which in .1 our opinion, is a good start. $100 Reward, $100.

St. Peter at the Gate. (This poem is republished by special request.) St. Peter stood guard at the golden gate. With a solemn mien and an air sedate, When up to the top of the golden stair , A man and a woman ascending there Applied for admission. They came and stood Before St. Peter, so great and good, In hopes the City of Peace to win. Anid asked St. Peter to let them in. The woman was tall and lank and thin, With a scraggy beardlet upon her chin. The man was short and thick and stout; His stomach was built so it rounded out; His face was pleasant, and all the while He wore a kindly and genial smile. The choirs in the distance in echoes woke, And the man kept still while the woman spoke. "Oh. thou who gards the gate." said she. " We two come hither beseeching thee To let us enter the heavenly land And play our harps with the angel band. Of me. St. Peter, there is no doubt; There's nothing from heaven to bar me out. I've been to meetings three times a week, And almost always I'd rise and speak. "I've told the sinners about the day When they'd repent of their evil way; I've told my neighbors-I've told 'em all 'Bout Adam and Eve and the primal fail: I've shown them what they'd have to do If they'd pass in with the chosen few; I've marked their path of duty clear Laid out the plan of their whole career. "I've talked and talked to 'em loud and long For my lungs are good and my voice is strong. So, good St. Peter, you'll clearly see The gate of heaven is open for me; But my old man. I regret to say. Hasnt walked in exactly the narrow way. He smokes and he swears, and grave faults he's Afd I don't know whether he'll pass or not. "He never would pray with an earnest vim Or go to revival or join in a hymn; So I had to leave him In sorrow there. While I with the chosen united in prayer. He ate what the pantry chanced to afford While I, in my purity, sang to to Lord; And if cucumbers were all he got. It's a chance if he merited them or not. "But oh. St. Peter. I lova him so! To the pleasures of heaven please let him go. I've done enough; a saint I've been. Won't that atone? Can't you let him in? By my grim gospel I know 'tis so That the unrepentant must fry below: But isn't there sonie way you can see That he may enter, who's dear to me? "It's a narrow gospel by which I pray. But the chosen expects to find some way [Of coaxing, or fooling, or bribing you So their relations can amble through: And say. St. P'eter, it seems to me This gate Isn't kept as It ought _to be. You ought to stand by the opening there. And never sit down in that easy-chair. "And say. St. Peter. my sight is dimmed. But I don't like the way your whiskers is trim med. They are cut too wide, and outward toss; They'd look better narrow, cut straight across. Well, we must be going, our crowns to win: So open. St. Peter. and we'll pass in:" * S * * * St. Peter sat quiet and stroked his staff: But, spite of his office, he had to laugh. Then said, with fiery gleam in his eye: "Wth's tending this gateway-you or Iv" And then he arose, in his stature tall, And pressed a button on the wall; And said to the imp who answered the bell: "Escort this lady around to hell! The man stood still as a piece of stone Stood sadly, gloomily, there alone. A life-long settled Idea he had That his wife was good and he was bad. He thought if the woman went down below. That he would certainly have to go: That If she went to the regions dim. There wasn't a ghost of a show for him. Slowly ne turned, by habit bent, To follow wherever the woman went. St. Peter. standing on duty there Observed that the top of his head was bare. He called the gentleman back and said: "Friend, how long have you been wed?" "Thirty years" (with weary sigh): And then he thoughtfully added." Why?" St. Peter was silent. With head bent down He raised his band and scratched his crown. Then, seeming a different thought to take. Slowly, half to himself, he spake: "Thirty years with that woman there? No wonder the man hasn't any hair: Swearing is wicked: smoke's not good. He smoked and swore-I should think he would. "Thirty years with that tongue so sharp? Oh. Angel Gabriel. give him a harp: A jeweled harp with a golden string: Good sir, pass in where the angles sing. Gabriel. give him a seat alone One with a cushion. np near the throne: Call up some angels to p lay their best; Let him enjoy the music-and rest: "See that on the finest ambrosia he feeds: He's had about all tne hell he needs. It isn't just hardly the thing to do To roast him on earth and the future, too:" They gave him a harp with golden strings A glittering robe and a pair of wings; And he said, as he entered the realm of day: "Well, this beats cucumbers. anyway:!" And so the scriptures had come to pass "The last shall be first and the first shall be last." JosEPH BER SMITH. A Cure for Cholera Infantum. " Last May," says Mrs. Curtis Baker of Bookwalter, Ohio, "an infant child of our neighbor's was suffering from cholera infantum. The doctor had given up all hopes of recovery. I took a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Chol era and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used according to directions In two days' time the child had fully recovered, and is now (nearly a year since) a vigorous, healthy girl. I have recommended this Remedy frequently and have never known it to fail in any single instance." For sale by The R. B. Loryea Drug Store, Isaac M. Lor yea, Prop.

No Need of Having Dyspepsia. Most physicians, especially in the northern United States, say that fried food is responsible for most of the dys pepsia, especially in the south, where frying is most prevalent. This is no doubt true, in a broad and average way, but it is not necessary that it should be true. Too much grease of any kind, and in any way, is cer tainly bad for the digestion; but the conclusion must not be too hastily reached that fried food is necessarily greasy. Grease for cooking should be looked upon merely as as a medium for communicating a high degree of heat. It is not usually possible to cook things in water to a higher temperature than 212 degrees, and hence in many cases it is necessary to cook meats, etc., a long while at this temperature to get them done. But it is easily possible to cook things equally well done in grease in a much shorter time, on account of the higher temperature that may be reached-sometimes 300 to 400 degrees. The true way to cook in grease is to get it very hot before introducing the meat or other article. When it is dropped in the higher degree of heat immediately chars the outer surface and closes the pores, so that the grease cannot get inside. It is important to keep the heat up, and not to put the articles into the grease so fast as to lower the temperature. When done, they should be immediately removed and laid on a cloth to absorb the ad hering grease.' Many cooks take a frying pan off the fire with the eggs or meat in it, all cooked, and leave it so until served. This is the next best way to let the grease soak through to the centre. The very best way to soak the grease in. and the very best way to promote dyspepsia is to put the ar ticles in the frying pan to cook when the grease is not hot enough. Frying is generally a most wasteful manner of cooking, for the reason that so much of the grease is thrown away after the article is cooked. This is gen erally unnecessary. If the frying has been properly done, the gvease has not taken up much from the article cooked. The grease may be poured from the frying pan into a vessel of hot water, when most of the foreign matter will settle and the pure grease will float. after somewhat washing itself in the water. It may then be used again and again with the best results. There is naturally a smell from any frying grease. In Europe, where many kinds of grease and oils are used for frying, people become accustomed to the different smells, and do not mind them. In this country all are accus tomed to the smell of frying hog lard. When it was, first proposed to cook with cotton oil the new smell was ob jectionable, especially the smell of badly refined oil, and thus there grew a prejudice against its use. Arother cause for bad results with the oil was the fact that often times the cook would not wait for the oil to get hot enough before putting it in the articles. When using lard, the cook would natur ally wait for it to melt, and it would get hot without provoking impatience. But the oil looks ready when it is first put in the frying pan, and there is a temptation to use it too soon. There has been much steady work done by those who make cooking compounds from cotton oil, with a view t) reducing or disguising the smell. The result has been most gratifying. There are sev eral concerns making -h specialty of oil refined for use in cooking, without further manipulation. The Wesson Pro cess company of Savannah, Ga., has been very successful in this line and will be glad to mail cook books. There are also a number of highly satisfactory cooking greases made from cotton oil and beef fat, such as "Palmatena" and "Snow Drift," both of which products are extensively manufactured by the Southern Cotton Oil -Company of the Carolinas and Georgia -at their works in Savannah. They are both high class and reliable products in which the pure cotton seed oil is used and they resemble lard In appearance and results, but are more satisfactory and healthy, and which are superior to hog lard from every point of view. That they are much more la lth ru there can be no doubt. Cures Biood Poisons, Cancer, Ulcers, Ecze ma, Etc, Treatment Free.

I am opposed to rings, cliques and combina tions, and if re-elected will use my best efforts to resist the encroachments of monopolies that are fast making themselves manifest by the combination of corporations. I favor a still fur ther reduction in our taxes and believe I have a plan by which Clarendon county can get her needed improvements without an increase of the present tax rate. Respectfully, LOUIS APPELT. TO THE WHITE PEOPLE OF CLAREN don: Qn m worth as a private citizen and record us a public functionary, to both of which I invie tihe closest scrutiny of all honest men, I announce my candidacy for the State Senate. Our people are wofully misrepresented therein, and I propose to show It. I believe none of my competitors are more deserving of promotion than myself. Some of the very men who aided in bankrupting the county twice within the last ten years. so that even now she is too poor to build a decent jail, to say nothing of other im provements, have their daggers drawn to repeat the stab. It Is my duty to make this race; both our county papers are unfriendly towards me and from the stump alone can I reach your ear.
