Good Crowd----A Good Time And an Ideal Day and Plenty to Eat. J, H. WHARTON TALKS. Those Present Spent an Enjoyable Day at an Ideal Place, and Hope to Spend many more There. Last. Thursday was an ideal day and one long remembered by all who spent it under the shadow of Ta ble Rock. As per announcements pubhl81 ed, betweon three and four hun dred persons gathered Thursday at. Table Roclr for a picnic outing. Nature, in all her beauty and lovoliness lent a charm to the oc. clision, and all present speak in high praises of tho picnic. The dinner was spread on the grouba under four majestic oaks, which have grown and thrived, and have withstood the chilling blasts of 120 winters, they having been brought when Mere Sapllings, from near ''the pool" and set out by James Keith. Several of the crowd ascended to the top of the- rock and viewed the landscape over. This is one of the finest scenic points in the Ap palachian chain, but we who live in sight and under the shadow of the rock fail to appreciate the ma j'-sty and grandour of God's hand iwork. Aside from dinner the most im portant event of the day was the spech of Col. J. H. Wharton of Vaterloo, S. C., member of the Railroad Commission, who, after passing his compliments on the nice intelligent crowd, pretty ba bios, beautiful women, magnificent scenery, fine lands and good crops, spoke in part as follows, his sub ject hing "common sense," which he L.indled in a common sense way : Among other things that is not common sense is our way and style of living; it is not common sons to live too fast, to try to crowd too much into one day, either of work or of pleasure; the keeping up with and putting on so much htyle is all nonsemtse, it Is not comminoni siense. It is not at all according to the law of God and natnie to take our b~oys and girls and force thiemi like hot house plants, to becom e men and women before their time, before the na tural law of deovelopment has had time to bring thenm to maturity; t ~ they are miade into meni and wo menl too scoii an:1 a. old, bent, diseased andi dec rept I.when they shiouiI]lde in their prihie. Comn 111on1 senso should teach us to avoid the evils and pitfalls that beset us, and among the great evils of the human, race are the smoking of cigarettes, by our boys and the drtinkmng of coca cola b~y our gil. Dances, late hours, high living--and,' health ruined, the girls take coca cola to hold up their nerves, anid the meni take to w hiskey-hoth are~ nerve destroy (irs, theiy may infuse and e'xhilirate for a time, buti the col laj,se is suro andl awful. Paidl bila reepo cts to the calling of farming; was a farmer himself; if the farmers would use comlmonl seniso, wh ile they were spoken of as the backbone of the country, if they would only use their common sense, they wonuld in reality anad of a truth be th< backbone of the c in ty; nothing can live with its backbone broken, hence they sh ould stamd shoulder to shoulder for the good of the country so that it could live and prosp~er. The far mer01 has himself to blame foi having his calling looked (down on; he must btuld uip hiis own self respect, and the respect of his calling; why should his calling be less respected than that of any other professionl. It takes good hard common sense to make a euccessful farmer, whilo a diploma fronm some third-rate tehool can make a lawyer or doc tor. Money can make a very sue cessful mani ini any calling but that of farming--ther'e it takes brains KE3 Th, The Secre is that we are c can give the people Now we hav< Down in a Sou and up-to-date stock< half the manufactur( our customers shall and they go on sz value.

The Southern railway is under stood to be opposed to the Inter urban line and has a perfect right to be for good business reasons At present it handles all the busi ness of this section and naturally objects to a ny comnpetition. It will be to the pleI's advantage to support the proposed aIjppropria tion for* the contructjin of this new line. It is probablo that the sav ing. in f'reights alone, with a compi Ietinig enterprise, would more tham < flet the swmall increase in taxes conusOleqet upon the adop tion of the proposition. Nothing means more for I lendersonvillo and Henderson county than the suc cess of the scheme under contem plationI. Let theo matter b~e fully and clearly prosonited to the citi zens, residenits of the townships included in the call for an election. Once they thoroughly understand and realize the benefits derived from tne success of the movement there will be little difficulty in so. curing their co-operation. The propositioni should ntot fail of ratification by anmy means. We should hesitate to support it if by so doing the burden of taxation wore to be made more oppressive. The condition evident, howevecr, is that another line of railroad will be a great and general benjefit to the1 people anid for this reason The Hustler is willinig to subscribe the stock proposed It 18, of course, a que)stioni for thin citizo-.ns of the va rious townshipe, in which elections ar~e to bo held ,to consider the mat ter seriously and imrpassionmately, then vote t hir honest conivictions.

Further than this, the looks and life of thie suit dlepeudl more on the LITTLE details than you could im agine. For instance, simply the plac ing of the buttons and the shape of the lapel have everything to do with the fine appearance of a coat, while such a trifle as the proper moulding of a curve muakes all the difference between a beautiful garment and a meal sack.
