We are glad to report the safe return of our gallant body of troops from Columbia, they hav ing safely dodged that ferocious mob of lynchers by tuking a cir cuitous route, and returning the same way they went.

We print elsewhere a report of the Gum spring picnic, which we regret did not reach us until too late for the paper of last week. In fact it was so late that we were just in the act of addressing a copy of the paper to the writer. We had an invitation, and wanted to go badly, but sickness and picnics do not go together, so we had to miss the pleasure of meeting'our friends on that occasion. Better luck next time. Hugo 1 tattler Killed. Mr. It. W. Hammond, Bethune! roports having met a huge rattle snake in his swamp on the 5th, inst, while he (Mr. Ham mond) was out black-berrying. Being armed and equipped, he speedily put an end to the mon ster. It is said to have been one of the largest ever killed in that section, and had ten rattles aud a button. We learn that there are others of like size in the same swamp, so to those who want to go snake killing, we say, provide yourself with a s'ifticientquantity of snake pois on, andgO forth and feat noevil. The Work of Lightning* During a severe thunderstorm near Bethune's on the evening of July 7th, Mr. Zimmerman Branham met with the misfor tune of having his barn with all its contents destroped by light nink. Mr. Branham's loss would have been greater had it not been for the fact that ho had shortly previous to Wie storm, driven in to Bethune with his mule and t>uKKy? while his wagon was un der shelter in a place apart from the barn and stables. He lias our sympathy in his loss. On Friday, the 8th mst, about noon, a fearful storm of thunder and lightning struck the planta tion of Messrs. Bprings and Shannon in West Watereo, and in its course, lightning struck a tree under which, we understand the hands were feeding, and kill ed one of the laborers outright., shocked four or five more, and killed five of the beet inules on the.plantation. In tli?se days, apart from a homanitartan stand point,good farm hands are scarce, and mules are mules. Mr. Shan non, of the firm, will accept our sympathy in his loss of both de scriptions. !?o-To-l?*r for f ifty Cm**. Gu*ri?i:t?<x1 Uritacoo habit cure. r.u?kc? weak kM(UttU(,Mv<nl iron. '*K,41. All Death. # Died, on Sunday, July 8d at the residence of ber son, V. H. Bowen, in West Wateree, Mrs. Martha Dowen in the 78th, year of her age. Deceased was the relict of the late Captain Jack Bowen. Our deepest sympathies are extended to Doctor and Mrs. "W. R. Glyburn in the death of their little son a sweet little child of about one and one-half years. The sad event occurred on Saturday, the ninth inst., the funeral taking place on Sun day. We extend earnest sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Lewis in the loss of their baby girl on Thursday, the 7tli inst. The fu neral took place on Friday eve ning at 5 o'clock. A Ntilnance. Wo have previoesly called the attention of parents to their thoughtlessness in allowing their small sons to roam at will at night, and join heartily in any effort to make the environs of Hampton park better places to live in, and the park itself less like a bear garden. This may be done by parents keeping their children on their own premises after supper, or in the immediate neighborhood. The old saying that "boys will be boys" is true, but our idea of raising up a boy to be a good citizen, is not by allowing them to herd in droves of twen ty or more on Hamptor Park, or any other public place after a reasonable hour, past supper time for instance. C-Jtndeu It. F. D. No. 2, July 11th, li)04. Mr. People: Two or three of us have subscribed to the State since we got our rural route, so we now pet the State and the People of the State, and can keep posted all along the line. We have been following up the Dem ocrats in their convention at the World's fair, arid feel good and proud about the part our senior Senator took in it; You must do oue thing though, Mr. Ed., and that is, tell Tillmau quit cussing so much. I reckon that the Parker tele gram did make him mad, but we are going to vote for Parker, even if he is not the big man that some people think he is. All of us in this country are waiting to hear from you about the matter, so till we get The People, no more from, Camden R. R. No. 2. Thanks for above letter, friend.

Warranted Excitement. A rumor, almost equal to that lynching humbug, became cur rant last week when it was learned that a young and popu lar citizen of the County was on his way to New York with a trunk full of ladies' clothing. All kinds of reports were circu lated, one being that the young man was going in lor a certifi cate of trained nurse, and noth ing but petticoats would avail him. Another, that he was an swering an advertisement from soiue swell theatrical manrger for a prima donna with a deep bay voice, and here again, noth ing but petticoats would avail hiin. As a last resort, which should havo been the first, the curious crowd assembled as a committee of one, and matched up to the office of The People to secure authentic information from the editor. That was easy, and in a few words we had matters so straight ened out that .^udge Parker could have retuilfid the informa tion without beitfg afraid that he had said something. We said to the committee: "Gentlemen, bo not alarmed for the safety or sanity of our friend. He has learned, as have all who read The People that the fad this season in Now York is for tall willowy women, while tall willowy, or lanky men are at a discount. So, our friend, wise in his day and generaiion, des irous of having a good time, but being tall, willowy and lanky, but beautiful in fice, concluded to take his holday in frocks. There you have it, gentlemen^ and we hope the explanation is satisfactory. Farmer.* Institute at Betliunc. The Farmers institute held at Bethuno on Monday last was a great success. The teachers, or speakers wore Dr. G. E. Noe som, Veterinary, Professors C. C. Newman, Horticulturalist, F. S. Shiver. Chemist, and J. H. Hook of the Mechanical Depart ment of Clomson College. We may say that we spent a few hours very pleasantly with our friends of Bethune, and lis tening to the speeches. From Prof. Newman we learned how to cross tomatoes 011 Irish pota toes so as to have a full crop of each growing on the same land. We also learned that if you would graft the gympson weed on the potato, you would never have any trouble with potato bugs, the bugs not being fond of the weed. As usual on these occasions, there is Lound to occur some un pleasant incidents. Our first one occurred when our old friend Mr. D. M. Bethune introduced us to the professors as a candi date. Our second was when a mnn who ought to have known better addressed us as Mr. Birch more, while another liowdied us as Mr. Dixon. Being meek and lowly in spirit, and Bethune having ft brand new policeman, we took it all in as a portion of our cross. For once, the 8. A. L. was on time to Our sorrow, as we wore just in the act of attacking some of Mrs. I). M. McDonald's fried chicken, when the whistle blew, and we had to bid all a hasty good-bye and race for the train. We extend thanks to everyone of Bethune's good citizens for tlioir kindnesses and hope soon to be with thorn again. 1? Highly Knoh m*nd?d for y(>l.f>rt, flo A M RM SiiKllTHMOtT.lMN OWtTlf. A ?
