Cotton is small and not a good stand. About a week ago the cotton was stricken with lice, or a small bug that injured it very much, erisping and dry ing up the leaves, and the people be came despondent over conditions. The small wheat crop sown is good, but the oat crop is "hort. Rye is pretty good. Rev. B. C. Atkinson filled his regular alpointment at Mountain Grove Satur day and Vn '. preaching to an at tentive congrrcmtion. Bro. Atkinscn is both ai go:m I ru:her and a good man. A Iiourishin Ser:day school is being carried on At l (.untain Grove with R. S. Porter as suierintendent. We com mend IRob for the interest he is taking in this good work. We feel grateful to Supervisor Craig and his assistants for the good work they are doing on our roads, the lirst work we have hat (lone since the adop tion of the convict system 22 years ago. Messrs. H. F. Parsons of Pickens and George Hamilton of Easley visited in this section last week. We enjoyed the visit or there genial gentlemen. George . Welhorn of Piedmont came up Saturday for a few days' visit to homefolks, after which he will return to his work. The thermometer at 12 n. Monday registered at PU. We are glad to have this ternperature, hoping it will drive away the cot ton lest and bud worms. Last week Mr. and M rs. Charley lien dricks of near Easley and Mr. and Mrs. Edd Ilendricks of near Liberty visited Mr. and Ml's. A. I. L ooper a' d went on the Kirksey mountain huckleberry gathering. 'T'ley were suec s.ful and enjoyed the outing very much. We will enjoy their coming again. Rev. B. C. Field tilled his regular ap ptointment at Tigerville Saturday and Sunday. IRobert Welborn had the pleas ure of~ accompamnying him onOi this im piortalnt mission andl said he had a very pleasant tril), enjoying goodl sermons and the hospitality of the generous peo ple of that community.. We received this morning a message informing us oft the (deathi at 3l a. mn. of Mrs. Carrie Hlanna out on route 5. \Ve felt sad to lear~n of the death of this goodl wonman.

The hail did..considerable damage to growing crops and vegetation, the most destructive part being from Lay's bridge to Maw's bridge on Twelve Mile river. In low places near the residence of Warren Hopkins we are told that hail still remained on the ground for three days after the storm. It was a regular gully-washer; what the hail failed to destroy the rain washed away. Crops are looking nice in portions of the section where they were not visited by the storm. As a general thing crops are clear of grass. The writer had the pleasure of attend ing memorial services at Golden (,reek church last Sunday and listened to one of the best sermons it has been our pleasure to hear for a long time, fr.m the text, 'Look Upon Us,'' which wasj preached by Rev. T. F. Nelson. Bro. Nelson is just a good old plain, every day kind of a preacher, but he knows God's word to perfectitn and he knows how to carry the message straight to the heart. Two hours in the afternoon were spent in singing, which was con ducted by Profs. Robinson, Haynes, B ampey, Rogers and others whose names the writer failed to get. We would hate to he in Golden Creek church now in time of a hard rain from the fart that. we know we woui -:: w. vet. Iobh lhah inson sang so hard last Sunday arid so loud we know the boards in said church are warped today. A fter the singing the congregation was entertained for 2O minuLs by a talk from Bro. J. S.

Carmel Dots 'Phis very hot July weather has im proved the crop conditions recently, but cotton is very small and a very poor stand, especially where the hail storm hit it some time ago. A lot of cotton land was plowed up and planted in corn and peas and' a lot was replanted in peas. Generally the cotton crop is very sorry now, but corn is very good. The first Sunday was a big day at Mt. Carmel. A large crowd attended preaching in the morning and heard a fine sermon by the young pastor. In the afternoon the singing convention met and had some line singing. Quite a number of good singers were present. Mrs. B. 1). Lathem, Miss Eva Iol combe and Mrs. L.

Home-made candy, cold drinks and ice cream were sold in at tractive booths, which were decorated with red, white and blue colors and the flags of the allies. A gypsy told for tuni's in her tent during the evening, and a "grab-bag" caused much amuse ment. The real event of the evening, however, was a enkewalk, in which Misses Nannie Porter and Floride Carey and Messrs. Hub Richey and Houston Craig were the winners. They present ed the cake to the Pickens Mill Band, which had so kindly furnished music for the occasion. About $33 was realizcd during the evening.

An Interesting Red Cross Letter On Monday evening, July 2, the Pick ens chapter of the American Red Cross held its meeting in the Red Cross Room over the Keowee .Bank. 'T'his chapter is compose(l of Pickens women-each one wide awake to the realities of the world war and to the sulierings of hu manity, who so need our help and yours. Sixty-one members are enrolled and ev ery day we are striving for more. Each committee is awake to its duty. Every one has responded so liberally to the work. Of course there are some who have not helped yet, but that is because they do not yet rcalire the situation in its awful seriousness. General Wood says that America is too slow about waking up and that atone of us 'will not realize what it all means until we get from France the report of our boy w;o have fallen in the battle. lBut as a whole Pickens has done vell. The Pickens Mill gave the chapter 300 yards of cloth and the Alice Mill in Easlev contributed 1001 yards. Recently several members of the unit went to Six Mile in the interest of Red Cross work and in a very short. time the people of Six Mile raised $112..30. The Red C'ross interest is still growing in that progressive sec.tion. 'T'he room over the Kcowee I anL. which wasa very thoughtful contribu tion of Mr. J. P'.
