PICKENS is the only place we had rather live in than York. T. R. HAS discovered that public sen timent is far from heroic. THE bosses did not want Hughes, but they took him in self-defense. BEANS, corn bread and bnttermilk for these three we are thankful. EVENTS in Pickens county: Just one beautiful wedding after another. THE crop of June brides this summer is making up for the short peach crop. IT'S our opinion that when a man mis takes a lightning bug for the headlights of an automoble it's time to quit. IT is reported that the United States troops have killed General Vilareal, but somehow they can't locate the real Villa. THERE are a lot of people who can't understand how Mr. Hughes can be a good Baptist and a good Republican at the same time. HERBERT QUICK wants to know "Can the army be made popular?" Herbert should ask some of those poor fellows in the trenches. "WHY doesn't the Colonel run for mayor of Oyster Bay?" inquires the Charleston Courier. S-h-h! The col onel is out of politics. WOULD Booker consider our applica tion as a member of the Buttermilk League? If he doesn't we intend to or ganize a Lemonade League. "PICKENS county is just twice as large today as it was ten years ago," said a prominent speaker, "because the farmer plows twice as deep." "THESE short skirts show how fear fully and wonderfully women are made," observes the A erson Mail. And they also show ho arfully and wonderfully some of the are not made. MP. fon't know that we ever did, but if we ever did say anything mean about "Old Man" Ed DeCamp we hereby re tract it. We even forgive him for call ing that foul a fair ball on us. To SHOw to what height the spirit of hospitality reached in York during the meeting of the Press Association, Tom McNalley says a Greek there refused to take a nickel for a pack of cigarettes. THEY are going to have a Fourth of July celebration up in Gaff ney this year, and Ed DeCamp of the Ledger hopes everybody in Cherokee county will be there. If they all come that ox-cart wvill have to be provided with extra high sideboards. JOHN R. MCLEAN, owner of the Cin cinnati Enquirer and the Washingtor Post, died at his Washington home June 9, after a long illness, aged about 75 years. His demise removes a unique character from the newspaper world. He wvas one of the most enterprising newspaper men this country ever p~ro duced. NEWSPAPERS, some of them said to be * Democratic, and a few p~ublic men of the same calibre, have been prophesy ing all along that Mr. Bryan was bent on going to the St. Louis convention to make trouble for the party. Instead, * he was received with the same old cor - diality that has been his with the masses for more than twenty years, and made the convention one of the best speeches delivered in the hall, saying, among other things, that Mr. Wilson's plat form was his platform. Mr. Bryan, despite his critics, wIll be found as of yore stumping the country for Democ racy in every state, and the people will ~ go from far and near to even hear him make tail-end speeches from the train as It stops at the water tanks; and at the larger places the S. R. 0. sign will be much In evidence. The maligners of the great Commoner were very mueci ' ' disappointed because he did not "start aomething" so that they could roasi hIm soynie more, Oua WEEKLY RIDDLE-Why are trou, e., is like babies?

Th t.a ypat all the members of the .1thaioIna Press ass6ciation feli like singing as they left for their re spective homes after the recent meet. ing of the Association held at York. We, with our better three-fourths, were fortunat in being able to attend the Ieeting, tho we were late getting there. As we were fortunate in being able to attend, we were more than for tunate in being assigned to the hospit able home of Mr. and Mrs. B. N. Moore, finer people than whom we have never met. If York should wish for anything more it should be more Moores. But we don't suppose there are any more Moores like these.Moores. An old friend whom we met while there was Mr. Steadman, who used to conduct the hotel at Easley, but who now conducts the leading hostelry at York. He is making good there, but tells us he is thinking of going back to ais farm after this year. Not long ago, someone told us, Mr. Steadman put a prominent German out of his hotel be cause he was abusing President Wilson in vituperative language. The next time the German abuses the president around Mr. Steadman he will probably do it in the German language. Another friend we met was Rev. Elzie Myers, who last year was pastor of Methodist churches in this county, but who is now at York. He is the same fine-looking fellow with the hearty handshake and open, pleasing smile. He likes the people there and they like him. We do, too. That fellow Watson Bell of the York News seems to ring true. He's a live one and doesn't have to be tolled. He goes ahead and does it. We couldn't begin to mention all the good people we met, but among them were the Messrs. Hart. York's Harts seem to be in the right places. We made a special effort to meet the Messrs. Grist, who publish the Yorkville Enquirer, and succeeded in barely meet ing one of them. We are sorry we didn't meet them all. York is full of good things. Its water is fine. Its ice is good. Best of all is its people. So here's to good old York, A place among the places; It's men are square, its women fair, Possessing all the graces Fair ot face and fair of features, Surely among God's loveliest creatures. Its genuine hospitality Was certainly proven unto me, And I'm glad I've been to York. IF you do not get your name on th( club roll before July 25 you will dis franchise yourself.

WHEN Samuel Gompers, president o: the American Federation of Labor, pre sented the demands of organized labo: to the Republican platform committed they asked him to condense them. Whei they appeared in the finished platforn Sam says they couldn't be seen withou the aid of a microscope. It is therefore easy to see which party the majority o: the members of organized labor wi] support. Mr. Gompers says the Demo cratic party has done much for labor but it could do more, and probably wil it the labor forces keep pounding awa: in the future as they have in the past 1785 1914 COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON SouTH CAROLINA' s OLDEST COLLEG: 132d.Year Begins Sept. 29.
