S. C., JULY 13, 1916 - - Good Crowds Enjoy Pickens Chautauqua The citizens of Pickens have every reason to feel gratified over the euooess of the Chautauqua. It was a success and the people enjoyed it. Despite the rain on Saturday two good-sized -audi. ences heard Dr. Daniel and the Colum. bia Con- -t company and were well repaid f( their trip in the rain to the schoolhouse. Sunday morning Dr.ich ner pleased a large audience at the Methodist church. Monday afternoon the sun came out, but it was still too damp to hold the performances 'in the tent and the school auditorium was packed and jammed both afternoonand night to see Durno and'company and Eugene Lockhart. From' the applause and laugbter it was evident that the audience enjoyed every minute of the entertainment. iThe crowds Monday were so large r 4fat it was decided to have the Tuesday a ctions in the tent rain or shine. Tues'day afternoon an immense crowd braved the-ratn to hear Dr. Tincher and the Alpine Yodlera, both of which. were fine. And-Tuesday night the tent was full and overflowing to hear these same attractions. Tuesday morning Dr. Grimm of the pellagraliospital of Spar tanburg lectured to a lrge audience. When it was first decided that Pick ens was to have a chautauqua the plan was to charge an admission fee, as is generally done. But last Wednesday afternoon the committee decided that in order for everybody to get the benefit to be derived from these entertainments and to enjoy them and in order that everybody might attend, it would be best to give the chautauqua free. The committee went to work solicit ing subscriptions and in a surprisingly ehort time the citizens of Pickens had contributed enough money to pay for the chautauqua and pay all incidental * -expenses. Amounts ranging from $1 ito $10 were given. The business men and all the people of Pickens responded Sliberally-. Big, little, old. and4 young were enthusiastic and all put their shoulder to the wheel and pushed it to a ,uccessful finish. .Pickens has done something that we ,doubt if another town in the state of .South Carolina the size of Pickens has done-reached down in her pocket, paid for:a $500 chautauqua and gave it to the people of this section absolutely free. And the people appreciated and enjoyed it, itoo.

'' ope~ratien Innmak In the Mountains of Pickens Co. In company with John L. Scott of Greenville and Rev. Walter Coker of Anderson county the writer spent sev eral days recently around Table Rock, one of the most interesting sections of the county, We made headquarters at the new hotel which is at the base of the rock in a beautiful location alniost enclosed by mountain ridges. One may rest here and drink pure sparkling water from a nearby spring and study in the stillness Interrupted only by the swish Jn~g sound of the mounain brook. We went one day into the cove on the north of the rock on the headwaters of the Saluda and had a chat with B. B. Hooker, who owns a nice home. over there. He has some fine corn and has It well worked. . Another day we as cended Mt. Pinnacle, commonly called Bald Knob. Geography states that this is the highest point in the state and one who climbs it will readily agree with the geography. On the morning of July 4, with Henry Zed Jones to pilot us, we went fishing. Mr. Jones is all right and ever accom modating as a mail carrier on route 6, but he led us over a rocky road for fish and the reward was small. To dispel our disconsolate hearts we found on our return to the hotel two happy picnic parties. One from Pickens, consisting of A. D. Attaway, Mr. Meredith, Mrs. Powell, Misses Margaret, Sara, Jonnie, Eula and Glennie Attaway, Mattie Fin ley, Lura Pickens, May Pepper and Nell Smith. With them we enjoyed dinner. Mr. Scott ate so much he couldn't talk after dinner. The other party was from Easley and consisted of R 'v. H. K. Williams and P. M. Taylor and their families witb Miss Bess Burton, of Newberry. It rained in the afternoon preventing a climb on the Rock. While around Table Rock we met many Masters. One family, that of W. A. Masters, furnished us with the best of butter, buttermilk and beans. Mr. Masters is in his eightieth summer but does a man's work on the farm.. He has a beautiful home. . We stoppe& with Amos C. Suther land and family and Mr. and Mrs. Hen ry Jones at Oolenoy a short while and were glad to be among thesehospitable folks. That is a fine section of a great county they live in. And the man who owns Table Rock with .its scenery, sum mer resort and surroundings should count himself a millionaire. H. H. Birthday Reunion On July 2 the friends and relatives of J. H. Riggins gathered at his home to celebrate his 35th birthday. It was quite a surprise to him, but from the kindness shown and the nice talk that he made, it was surely appreciated. He owns a nice farm on Liberty route 3 and is a prosperous farmer, and he and his family are held-in high esteem in their community. If you could have been there and could have seen the big crowd and all the good things to eat, you would not ask why was all this crowd at his home. The table was spread in the grove with all kiuds of good things to eat, and after all had partook of these good things, we gath ered around the organ. His brothers and other good singers led in the music and we had some good singing. Mr. Riggins is the second son of A. B. Rig gins of Liberty. There were 100 people present and we all had a good time, and all said good-bye late in the afternoon and made their way home. N. P. .ing this chautauqua a success. And the immense audiences that have attended shows the appreciation of the people of this section. The outstanding features of the great Radcllffe chautauqua were the two ad dresses Saturday by Dr. D. Wistar Daniel, and he lives down here at Clem son College, in Pickens. Some folks say there's always room for onr more, but we don't see how one more could have gotten Into the audi torium Monday night to see Durno and Lockhart. Durno's trunk and bag mystery is some mystery all right, and though we have been told many times just how It was done by those who caught on, we are still unable to do the trick. The people of Pickens are indebted to that popular, enterprising, progressive and Indefatigable young lawyer, Sam B. Craig, for the interest he has taken in solieiting the fund for the chautaui qua.____ And the best part of it is, we're go )ing to have the chautauqua again next year on a bigger scale than ever. -Re9.' ~ W. Hiott is holdin a pro tracted eeting this week with his old Som~e. o ich; Doctor as Creek, in Colle We are requested to state that those interested will meet at Poters Chapel on Friday the 21, a for the purpose ot cleaning off the graveyard.

The campaign schedule for ickens county is as follows: Pickens, rhursday, July 27; Easley, Friday, July 8; Central, Saturday, July 29. The ampaign meetings begin at Pickens on he 27th and wind up at the Orr mill'at knderson on the night of August 24. The schedule for the county cam iaign has not yet been arranged. dachine Installed as Bookkeepet The Pickens Bank has just installed machine that will actually keep books. "he Burroughs Adding Subtracting ma hine is the name of this mechanical iookkeeper and it will be used for mak ng entries to the bank's ledgers and vriting up depositors' statements. To understand best what this machine neans to a busy bank one must see it n actual operation. A great number f checks naturally come into the bank laily and each must pass through the 'egular channels. A record must be nade of each one and the account of ach depositor must be handled sepa ately and accurately. Before the advent of the machine, he detail work of entering amounts in I he ledger and making out depositors' tatements was a tiresome and uncer ain task. All checks had to be listed eparately and added up by hand. All leposits had to be listed and added and heir total combined with the customer's Id balance. When that was ddne the otal of all checks had to be deducted rom the sum of old balance and depos ts to determine the new balance. GREAT LABOR-SAVER 'With the new Burroughs, all this is lone miechanically, except the actual ietting down of the figures on the key )oard. And' the balancing of an ac :ount, from ldid balance on through !hecks and deposits to new balance, is virtually handled in one operation. , The operator first feeds the custom er's old balance into the machine. Then he sets down the amount of eaeh check; enters the amount of the deposit; and, after taking a spacing stroke, depres ses the operating bar with the tota- key :own and the correct new balance is automatically computed and. printed in .he right hand column. The machind kiso automatically prints the dates op >osite each list of checks and deposits, md without any attention from the op ,rator, sets each in the column in which t belongs. Another thing it does is to detect ov ,rdrafts instantly, whether the operat or notices them or not. When the hecks exceed the deposits and the old >alance, the machine automatically ocks and no results can be obtained un il the lever controlling the internal nechanism is placed in the "subtract" )osition, when the overdraft is printed n the proper column with an "OD" ign in red ink. With the use of the machine, the ickens Bank's books are kept more neatly, accurately and efficiently than hey could possibly be kept by hand. ['he machine method cuts out unneces asry labor and eliminates mistakes. ACCOUNTS STAY BAIANCED) In addition to p)ostirig the ledgers, the lurroughs makes out monthly state nents for depositors. Each statement hows all the checKs and deposits of he customer, together with the balance me has in the bank at the efld of the nonth. Under' this system each cus ,omer's account is kept balanced all the ime and a statement is ready for him it the end of the month, or at any time e wants it, on live minutes notice. M'oreover he does not have to bother with bringing in his pass hook to be alanced. Beirig made on the machine md checked back with the ledger sheets --of which they are an exact duplicate -the statements will of course be ab olutely accurate. This system is similar to that now in ise in the most progressive banks in he country and marks another step, in he Pickens Bank's effort to give the, nost complete and satisfactory service o depositors. -(Adv). And Still We Have April Showers -A steady rain fell all over Pick ens ~ounty from last Friday night until' ~M'ondlay morning. In some places con iderable damage was done, rbflng and ottom landl being badly washed. J.

Oolenoy, July 10.-On 'the.29th ult', at the advanced age 'of 93* years, the soul of Mrs. Margaret Keith Edens passed into the great Beyond. At the time of her death she was muking hqr. lome with her son, .Elijah Q.7E.dens. She was married at an ear)' age to Alexander Edens. Unto this.u4 were. torn eleven children. Of this' unbor 10 were reared to maturity. Her huw band preceded her to the grave 62 yea It was at this time- that her abili % business woman was demonstrated. 1er difficulties were many but with herl " 3ver ready energy as well as /an acthre mind she found force to resist them. At' the beginning of the war between the states four of her oldest boys answeted the call of their country. Thus she wae again left with only the smaller children ror help. But that fortitude and brav 3ry so characteristic of our Southern women belonged to her. Though heavy >dds were against her she succeeded in tolding her own. Physically she was a won~er. Never did she consult a phys ician nor receive any treatment from tem. Simple home remedies were her resort.

Edens, Sr. The fuferal was conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. C. Seaborn, in the presence of a large audience which at tested the esteem in which she' .was 4eld. Her hospitable home, wheie so many visited, her kind disposition hold a tender place in our hearts. And "Somewhere in the hilltops of that country that knows no pain, she will stand in her beautiful doorway and bid us welcome again."
