The golf links, aru growing in pop
ularity and crowded almost every af
ternoon. The various tennis courts
claim their share of devotees, and the
l,a ^ hall fans still find pleasure in
the National game. While for many
tot- old Factory Pond has never lost
fta , harm, and a dip in its sparkling
way 1*3, or a* row on its smooth sur
face is as much enjoyed as in the
da \ a of yore. ?
Yes, it is the time f?r rest and to

l?Yoiii saffroh to yellow, from purple
to gray,
Slow fades ip the sunset the beauti
ful day;
1 sit where the rosea are heavy with
bloom,
And wait for the moonlight to whiten
the gloom.
The dew glitters clear where the
shadows are green,
In ranks of white splendor the lilies
are seen;
And the rofees above me s\vay lightly
to greet
Their shadowy sisters afloat at my
feet. ? l J

A pathway of silver lead oh through
the night;
And fair as the glorified isles ^6f~ the

Lies all the sweet valley? the valley

Notice to School Patronsl
To Patrons of the Charlotte Thomp
son School, District No. 2.
We wish to call the attention of the
patrons of School District No. 2 to
the fact that any teacher or principal
allowing a pupil to enter any school
without having been vaccinated ac
cording to law is subject to a fine.
In accordance with this law, all
patrons of District No. 2 are notified
to have their children vaccinated on
or before September 1st, if they
have not already done so,

Fewer Stills in State.
Columbia, July 22. ? South Carolina
apparently is getting better in the
matter of observance of the prohibi
tion law, according to Edward A. Mc
Dowell, secretary to Governor Mc
leod. Complaints received at the
office of the Governor he said today
are growing {ewer.
"When Governor McLeod first
came into office," said the secretary,
"the mail was almost swamped with
complaints regarding illicit stills and
bootlegging. We have given atten
tion to every complaint that was not
signed anonymously, and they have
furnished the office with fine leads.
Many etills have been Captured and
arrests made through the receipt of
such letters. But we arc getting
fewer now. ' The natural inference is
that there are fewer stills."
Announcement has been made of
the sale of the home of Mrs. George
C. Bowen, regarded as one of the
most beautiful and expensive * resi
dence* in this section to S. C. Hodges.
The purchase price . was not an

Alexander HttiHiltoii Boykin. J
Tlmv passed (rum ayiong us on
June 80th, at his home, "Millway,"
near Camden, one of the few remain
I ing loyal and soldierly men or tho
Confederacy and a true ''gentleman
of tho old school." A man so modest
in his demeanor, so chivalrous of
heart, ho dignified ?>!' bearing, and
withal, so gentle and courteous of
manners, that in his pissing we may
truly say, "we shall not look upon hia
like again,"
Jiorn at the family homo, "Plane
Hill," in Kershaw county, he was the
son of Alexander Hamilton Boykin, a
man whoso high order of 'intelligence
and progressive activities loft a mark-*
ed impress on the life?of the .commun
l ity Ot which ho was an outstanding
figure, and of his wifo, Sarah Jones,
daughter of Chancellor DeSaussure,
the eminent jurist whpse record is
so well known in the history of the
Bench and Bt.r of South Carolina,
and a grand daughter of General Wit*
Item R. Davie, of North CaYojina, the
prominent patriot and soldier of the
Revolution.
While still a mere school boy young
Boykin heard the call to arms sound
| ed through the Soutk and with quick
response he answereo the call of his
leountry ami though but 16 years of
a^e, he offered for service in tho Con
federate army and enlisted in Com
pany A, Wateree Mounted Rifles, un
dfer Dr. Edward M. Boykin, and served
on the coast around Charleston for a
year, being afterwards transferred to
Company K, and served in Greenville,
S. C., for seven months, Later he
served in the Seventh S. C. Cavalry,
Gary's Brigade, and #as courier for
CoL A. C. Haskell to* the end of the
war, when "Tie took up "?Ke~Wl#nage
ment of his own and his mother's
plantations. At the close of the war,
young, undoteated, in the honored
Confederate gray, a perfect horseman,
he was then, as to the close of his
life, one of the knightliest of men.
Mr;, Boykin married very garly in
life Elizabeth Richardson, daughter of
Mr. Thomas C. Richardson of Claren
don county and granddaughter of the
first John Peter Richardson. After
her death he married Juliania Au
gusta Manning, daughter of Cpl.
Brown Manning, and granddaughter
of the first Governor Richnrtl I Man
ning. He is survived by live children,
two by fust marriage,' Mrs. William
E. Hughes, of Charleston; and Alex
ander Hamilton Boykin, of Boykin.
By the second marriage Miss Mary

Cause of the Trouble.
A certain congregation had catted a '
milliliter to preach for lhem. The first i
Sunday the man's discourse was bare
ly fifteen minutes' length. Next Sun
day the congregation wan ju*t begin* i
ning to got interested in the sermon i
when the preacher coincided. A com- j
mittee was appointed to wail on the !
pastor to request him to make his dig*
courses longer since they were paying
him to preach.
The minister's reply was, "I >have j
no teeth and it tires me to talk."
The committee suggested that he
secure fo?; himself a set of plates,
The following Sunday the good man !
preached all of an hour, the next Sun- ?
day an hour and a half, and the' third
preaching day two hours. Protests ,
became louder that the sermons be
cut than ftt first they be lengthened, j
Whereupon the same committee again |
awaited their pastor and inquired why 1
he could not make his discourses reg| ,
ulation length rather than of the all- !
day variety ?
"It's my teeth," said the pastor. j
"How can that be inquired the j
Committee.
"Well, you see," explained the good
man, "1 ordered some teeth from
Sears Roebuck ami since they cairte
I have done nothing but work .my

about it at id here is a letter I have
just received from Chicago:
JiDear Sir;? We exceedingly regret
