Hogwallow, Oconee Co., News l.letcher Henstep is going to get his wife a new dress this year if he has any money left after paying his (tog tax. Sam Craig of Pickens spent Monday here on the creek banks fishing, and while he did not catch any, all the fish were very tired when night came, after trying to keep from being caught by such a shrewd fisher man. Clab H1 ancock, who is the owvnei of a new pa ir of square rimmed1 spectacles, will get ridl of them the next time the Tin Peddler :omles, as his nule (does not show up jIust exactly righit through them.

The Old1 Miser of Musket Ridge went fishing last week for the first time this season. Hie could have gone earlier in the season but (desired to wait until the fish got larger.

Barlow. whio has a high standling ini social circles in this commnunity, and who has been (qualified to go wvith any girl he wanted to. is losing his popular ity, since paying several visits to other neighborhoods in the last few~ Sundays. Tlhe Blind man of the Calf Ribs neighborhood went to the dlepot at Tickville this week to The Prohiibiton Rally The most successful prohibi tion rally ever held in Pickens county, and probably in. the Piedmont section, was held at Pickens last Thursday, Septem ber 2. The crowd numbered about one thousand people, the order was practically perfect, the speaking was extremely good, the people were enthusiastic, the dinner was 1il that could be wished, and the day was well nigh perfect for the occasion. A good sized crowd of ladies, gentlemen and small Sunday school childrden met the early morning train to meet the Eas ley band and Will D. Upshaw, the principal speaker of the day. Preceded by the band playing a popular air the crowd, flying prohibition banners, marched up the street to the court hou e grove where the meeting was to take place. Rev. D. W. Hiott, who led the successful fight against the dispensary in Pick ens county years ago, presided and called the meeting to order. Rev. J. C. Bailey, pastor of the Presbyterian church, opened with prayer. Colic Sealorn, the boy or ator of Pickens was the first speaker to be introduced and he added to his growing list of suc cessful efforts. He made a fine speech, said a whole lot of good things and knew when to quit, which is not the least accom plishment a speaker may have. Lieutenant - governor Bethea was unable to be present on ac count of the illness of his moth er, and W. C. Mann, of Six Mile, another Pickens county bred orator and a student of the Uni versity of South Carolina, wais introduced and held the atten tion of the crowd with a pleas ing speech. He also said a lot of good things and, tho called on unexpectedly, his demean orQ was that of a veteran. Will D). Upshaw, of Atlanta, famous thruout the nation as a prohibition speaker, was next introduced and held the undi vided and sympathetic attention of the crowd from the time he uttered the first word until he finished. Seldom, if ever, has a speaker been to Pickens who could so hold the attention and interest of the people as this Georgia Cyclone." His anec dotes were irresistable, his logic convincing, his arguments un answerable and his style pleas ing. Between each speech the la dies and children sang prohibi tion songs, and after the last speech Rev. L. E. Wiggins, pas tor of the Methodist church, led in prayer. About one o'clock dlinner was an nouneced and every bod y pres ent was ready and prepared for this plart of the program. And, in the parlance of the street, take it from us, it'was some din-. ner. We, along with many oth ers, had an idea that you could n't have a good picnic In town, because towvn People didn't know how to fix 'em up like they do out in the country. But, as Goldberg would say, "We're cur ied."' Never beAfore have we seen so lar'ge a cr'owd fed so sys. temnatically, well and without conifusion The ladies should have some extra thanks for this part of the program. The lNasley mill band was hl e to furnish the music which thev did to the great dlelight of all. This band made a good reputa tion here when it played for the old soldiers' reunion nd added to it Thursday. TIhe arranedl prIogrami was finished with the dinner, but the people were so well pleased with everything and so enthus iastic that they clamored for some more, anid the morning proprami was r'epeated in the af towrnoon. Those responsible for I, hi s meeting shold feel thenmselvyes well repalid for their trouble ando they have the congratulations and thanks of all visitors for their untiring and wvell-directed efforts. *Before dIispersing the large crowd unannimously voted it~s thanks to the ones responsi ble flor the dafy' (e1 ntra in ment.
