The People's Journal. TIIURSDAY, JUNE, 19, 1902. Local and Personal. -It looks like Central CAN play ball. -Don't come to the "Deestrick Skulo" Friday, if you can't laugh. -J. R. Ross from near the Keo wee was in Pickens Friday. -Born unto Mr. and Mrs. Ho veoNealey on the 11th inst a son. -Miss. Millie Foster, of Olga, is visting relatives and friends in Pickens this week. -Threshers will soon be on their rounds cleaning up the wheat and oat crop. -J. Sam Wilson and Kirk Mauldin from the Liberty section were in Pickens on businss Friday last. -Engineer Jeanes will soon have completed ono of the prettiest cottages in Pierens, It is the work of B. E. Grandy. -It matters not how dull other business may become, the office of County Superintendent of Educa tion is always a busy place. -Win. J. Stribling, of Walhalla, candidate for congress, spent Fri day in Pickens. Mr. Strib ling also spent some time, while on this side, traveling through the county. -Heavy rains at the sources of Town and Wolfe Creeks made those streams raging floods down their courses Thursday night, tho' scarcely any rain had lallen in this vicinity. --We are requested to announce that Mr. Jesse McCord will con duct prayer meeting service at old Pickens Presbyterian Church on the first Sunday in July at 11 o' clock a. m. instead of the 4th, Sunday in this month as previous ly announced. -It is said that a man in the Weather 3ureau at Washington has invented an apparatus for cool ing the atmosphere in dwellings. lie ought to invent some scheme to conserve this heat to bo turned loose as occasion might demand in cold weather, then his invention would be complete. -1-n T. McDaniel and family came up from ColumbialastThurs day where they have made their home for the past year, and are now at the home of Sheriff J. H. G. McDaniel for the summer. Miss Ballio who has been with her broth er in Columbia, for several weeks, Caime up with them, --It is estimated that the by producets from the cotton seed pro duced in the Southern states, sold ats meal and oil, bring returns antounting to $113,000,000,00. This enormons addition to the cot ton crop revenue is the result of discoveries and inventions of com paratively recent development and represents what was formerly con aidered absolutely worthless and was not saved. --For all-round good crops ila a good neighborhood one cannot find anything to beat the Bethlehem Ridge section where Messrs L. R. Durham, M. W. New ton, H. Nealey and J. M, Nealey and others have crops that prom ise something that keeps the hopes alive. These people have set the best of exam plea in bringing t heir landa up to a paying state of culti vation, and these men look well af ter their home interests. -It is said that la.st year Texas produced 4.780,000 pounds of hon ey, South Carolina has opportuni ties for this industry equnally as good, yet a comparison of the amounts produced in these two sta tes woulId seem red iculous. That is one thi' g the matter with us; we are negleting the little things which count u.) suprisingly and giving our chief attentions to things which seem larger and more promising of returns, but which usually absorb the profits in the production. -Another venture in the Maga zine line has been made in the Southern States-this time it is to be an historical magazine in Mont gomery, Alabama. This effort is but a response to the natural antie ty felt in the southern states that unless the southern people under take to write southern history while it may .yet be obtained with correotnese. we will at last be misrepresented and that when all hope of correction is gone. The southern historical magaslne is a good one, and no better time for its support and endo,rsement could be found than now. --[n Tsading the speeches of coll geraduates and some sup. posly ig unsinvited as o'jm, tnenoement orators, of which the daly papers have been full the *a~t week, the bulk of evidence is 1mt favor of the college gradua tes for merib and genuine iuterest. Pu'blio men'makce mistake in ac. ~spting invitation on commence. tiwent oocasions when they neglect bmake proper preparations hlerefor, For commonplace utter. %n@e, the average comimenoement oratot, be he congressman 'or other man of note, is, as a gener. lthing, a bore that iust be en~ date-heis chosen 90o ofte#l oli '0ount of his polIoa p osltion Dr, W.

It was a pretty game of ball with the exception of the 1st ining -to use very expressive ball par lance the first inning was "rotten" with that exception, the game was a splendid demonstration of Am erica's national sport. {Score 9 to 3 in favor of Central. The best of leeling prevailed. Central's young men did the handsome thing in looking after the comfort and pleasure of the Pickens team. Pickens team was entertained at the Hotel and refreshments, con sisting of ice cream and cake, were served after the ball game. Umn pire Goff won the respect and con fidence of both teams which is say ing a great deal for an umpire. Both teams were strong-the trial proved which was the strong er. The only thing Piokens lack ed was a little more practice. No doubt Central had that article in abundance daily. At the conclusion of the game Thursday, the ball fever was at its highest pitch both teams decided to try conclusions on Friday result ing in another yictory for Central, score 17 to 6. Mallard's Stock Feed Cutter. J. H. G. MoDaniel and W. L. Jenkins have purchased the county right for Pickens county, entitling them to sell Mallard's Im proved Stock Feed Cutter anid Corn Shuck er, patented May, 2nd, 1002, and will proceed at once to solicit sub. scriptions. It is a simple device, and one of its chief charmse is the cheap ne anid ease with which it can be operat3d, Its use has demonstrated that stook feed prepared by its aid adds to the value of the feed an d that it is besides a good food saver. As for a corn shucker it excels any thing we have ever seen, as one man can shuck as much corn as Ave can by hand. It is a good food saver as II6 wakes the stalk and rauch that Is wasted in the or din ary way of feeding available as good food, Zt is good artIdl e and these getltem6h Wil)l .-have it on i e la sh otly sb*Ing ready to elift', tI tb # a ish "The Deestrick Skule.')
