Oh yes, 1 will agree before your neighbor^ door,clean fbat there is some hog in nearly the black spot at home thon cast every family and any good sensi ble man can tell him by his grunt. A man, or woman, who pretends to be a goat sud wears a sheep skin cloak, isagenuiue hypocrite. Any man who has to get his neighbor to dictate for him is a fit subject for the lunatic asylum at Columbia,. He who is so weak minded, let him or her have a guardian, he who hasn’t self control is not worthy having notice, he is a genuine hog. But come on don’t let ns try and change our Masters work. Look wkat was his first mincal? Why it was to make wine at the great feast and from what I can learn it was good wine too. I think Mr Probits that if yon will stady the road law as hard as yon do the whiskey, we would have a delightful time drivii'g over cur roads. Now just at the expense of running after this Kttle animal, but her mother is! in the dispensary, and does she Wy to hurt her mother. No only feeds her, and if you probits will take the money paid out and put it on the roads our sons will not ■get in thp -ditch, nor will our horses be crippled, our buggy will not be broken money spent in f his way would the first stone.

The battalion of cadets of the South Carolina Military Acaderay_is resting here to day preparatory to the final ten mile hike which is to take them to the Citadel 'and the end :f their practice march of 110 miles. The column wound out of Waiter- boro at 6 30 a. m. on Thursday morning, with muah cheering and hurrahing for the hospitable people of Walierooro. A few of the to able to get my ^> r * ver spirted girls were up with the milkman to see the cadets off; but most of the soldier boys had to content themselves with the memo ries of the tender good byes of the previous evening. So the cadets turned their faces resolutely toward Cottageviile, with its shady oaks and long telephone—which connects with Walterboro. The twelve mile march to the picturesque village of cottages was as uneventful as the previous marches, but every bit as strenuous. The cade Is were agreeably suprised with a splendid picnic dinner served on the lawn ol the Methodist church in the vicinity of the camp site. The afternoon and evenirg were spent in the undignified amusements of pig chasing and shooting fire works, the hoys appearing to be in the best of spirits after the exhaust ing march of the day. The march of Friday led to Giv- hans post office. The march itself was .probably the most fatiguing of the aeries. The intense heat of the midday sun caused a great deal of straggling, but every man reached the camp site in the vicinity of the new clayton store. Although Giv- hant is nothing more than a post office, the boys enjoyed themselves as usual. In the evening an ama teur performance by a company of young people from Ridgeway was well attended by ihe cadets. The Saturday march of thirteen miles to Summerville was termina ted by a splendid dinner from the ladies of the village at the beautiful camp-site selected by Capt. Simons. In tne evening a most enjoyable lawn party at E’ather. Hopkin’s resi" dence was given the corps by the young*sr set of Summerville. On Sunday msrning op.n air services Local and Personal.
