The picnic wag given by the Latta .
Post to stimulate some interest in the|!
affairs of the Legion and to help the .
efforts of a few of the members to
put the Post back on an active basis.
At the close of the drive which is now ^
on foot to secure new members Post
No. 49 will have a membership of
more than 25. which will take in *
practically every ex-service man in
Latta and the surrounding rural sections.
An Informal meeting was held after
supper at which some of the objects
of the Legion were discussed and a I
plea for new members was made. I
The Women's Auxiliary was present-1
ed and Mrs. E. C. Major was nomlnat- ;
?u 10 worK with the officers of thej
post in helping to organize a chapter
here. In a few fitting remarks Commander
Fairey spoke of the deplorable
accidental death the day before
of National Commander Galbralth
and the high esteem in which hie was
held the nation over by ex-service
men, and asked that evety person
present bow for 30 seconds out of respect
to his memory.
The Mill Creek Barbecue.
Great battles are named for the
places near where they are fought and
other important events, such as treaties
are named in the same way, so
in giving a little sketch of the barbecue
of the 9th of June, having no
better name, we will call it for the
name of the old historic spot of "Mill
Creek." This stream with high banks,
which empties into Big Pee Dee river,
ha s been known in the past as fine
fishing grounds for the famous Pike,
and has been visited often as far back
jas we can remember, and large
I strings of these game fish have been
enjoyed by our forefathers.
Something like fifty years ago in
this country barbecues were often enjoyed,
and were attended by scores of
people. The writer retmembers going
to one only, when a small boy, b it
it has been so long, he is unable to
tell where it was. The one on Thursday
at Mill Cr?eek was attended by
hundreds of people, there being various
estimates ranging from 350 to
750. There certainly must have been
more than 500 pefople who attended
this "Titanic" affair. To begin with
the invitations were to everybody,
and urged to come, and that dinner
would be free, and that entertainment
would be furnished free consisting
of herding and marking a large
drove of cattle, a sight not seen in
this section before. Also a prise
to be given to the one who could stay
on the back of a wild steer the longest
without bridle or saddle, all of
which stunts were pulled off as advertised
in the best wild western style,
and' very much <enjoyed by all who
saw it. And strange to say there were;
iiu taouuiuKs auiuuK iue cow uoys, or
the wild animals. When the crowd
began to gather It looked so immense
that the question was often <
asked, where will we get dinner, but
when they strolled down by the creek,
the question could be easily answered,
when seeing Immense kettlefe of
stewed fish, grains of rice, being cooked,
bushels df fish already fried, hun.
druds of loaves of bread, numbers of
barbecued animals, scores of gallons
of iced tea, and a row of coffee pots
steaming with that "farmers pet," j
beside a picnic dinner, consisting of
hams, deviled eggs etc. and cakes of
every variety, and in due course of
time all appetites were thoroughly
satisfied, even down to the colored
men who helped among the cattle.
This is an ideal spot for just such
an occasion, there being plenty of
shade for a much larger crowd, and
a splendid flowing well of water,

many thousands of acres of lands in

I am told that these gentlemen
hop* to make this occasion an annual
erent, on a larger scale, as the
cattle business increases. These gentlemen
are to be congratulated on
the progress that they have made up
to this time, as the writer when a
small boy well remembers coming
near freesing right near this spot
where dinner was served on yesterday,
holding the mules one every cold
lay, for a negro driver to go into a
(tore and buy a bottle of whiskey,
rhe older ones of us can remember
when a regular bar was run at this
place and whiskey was openly sold to
inyone who wanted it, and now In
ess than a generation more than
five hundred christian people are
folding a picnic, all sober, having a
good time, and admiring fine stock,
which no doubt will be profitable as
veil as pleasant.

Dr. Mile; Strong Preacher.
The people ot Latto who trailed
themselves of the opportunity have
enjoyed a spiritual (east during the
past few days that was calculated to
put any and every sane man and
woman to thinking: as they perhaps
never had thought before. Dr. Mlley
a noted evangelist of the Presbyterian
church, for ten days preached two
sermons dally in the Presbyterian
church that were listened to by larae
I ana attentive congregations, who
will never forget his earnest and eloquent
pleading, to sinners to give
their lives to God- In my humble opinion
Dr. Miley is decidedly the strongest
preacher that ever occupied a pulpit
in Latta, and eternity alone will
reveal the great and lasting good that
this noble man of God is accomplishing.
