FROM BATESBURG TO WAGNER Via All Kinds of Cross Country Cuts--A Pleasant Trip. t It Y Till: t LD MAX. j Saturday was not a day that one would have selected for making a crosscountry pleasure trip from Itatesburg to Wagner, and if it had not been one of hu-iiiess 11 ? writer would never have undertaken the journey. line we are excusable for ever letting; a thought iike t ha above enter ouc mind, .is it had never been our fortune to have gone that way before. The people we met were jovial, happy and as hospitable as could do. From tho starling point to Uio < ml wrinnV Slaf'V) . i'Vft'Jv "golden" staple laying out hs a kind of "tantalizer" to the man who might own railroad or mining stocks. <Y president of a bank at the present writing may well envy the man with a few bales of cotton. Atier a cold drive of sixtoen miles we stopped for dinner at Messrs Compton nod Ocie Lj brands, near Sardis church, and such a dinner. There was no time to prepare a "special " as we caught thetn in the act of partaking of the mid-day meal?and such a dinner it was. To tell the truth, we didn't know w hether our newly made friends would make an assignment as a result of our dining or not, but we do kiiow that we staid at that table quite a while nnd when we left it looked as if it had never been touched. After t iking leave of these good people we went on towards our destination, nino iriles distant, nrriv lllg llllTP A UOIII I O I'lOCa wo luunu IIIQ town crowded ami all the merchants w ere apparently doing a good business. Wagner, i? a dispensary town and that institution was doing, to'all appearance, a rushing l?a-iii"-is. Not an intoxicated man wa- seen tne entire evening and everything was perfectly calm. In conversation with oneof the ending merchants ut the close of the day's business ?e found that the days s iles of his establishment exceeded $ i >0. \y hich r 1'i'uki well for the amount of ho-i1.1 ! > c .MP, r.s tiierc are six or seven ?1 h> r busir.e s houses in the place all having a good trade. We met Kill I or Cooaer, < f the Kdisto Iterord, who his been holding the fort at Wagner mid working for a new county for About a year. We visited his shack and found him doing r.ell. lie doesn't look as if iiic ?o ?! pe pie of Aiken county were letting him perish?for which tie should be tliinklol We supped ar.il spent tic night with Mr. I.ynraiw', at.d alter pirtakingof a good h: luki et wo began to "backtrack,"' hut r t i o further than Sard is again, flliTr we stopped and attended cli'in h. The Itt-v. Holly preached an excellent sermon to a large congregation. Af erserti es were over and another mea! had been laid away we continued on lli" h >niewnrd journey, the weather lipitig much pleaeanter than i ii the previous day. We reached home in good ihipe, top side up with ,careand v*'e indeed thankful fertile I pleasant t;i;i we hid. The writer is 1 I indebted t ? A.r.
