Interesting Exercises Held in the
Church and a Sumptuous Dinner
Served on the Grounds.
Ravenna, July 28.—The picnic at
Goucher last Saturday was a grand
success. Early in the morning the
crowds began to arrive and by noon
somewhere in , the neighborhood of
1200 had arrived. Prof. T. G. Chalk
was chairmau in the forenoon, but
owing to his weakness from a recent j afternoon of the good work going on
spell of sickness, had to leave the at Pacolet, and the time since they

acted as chairman in the afternoon.
Mr. Chalk opened the exercises by a
short address of welcome and the
church was well filled when the ser
vices began. After Mr. Chalk had
finished his few remaks of welcome,

The second game between Gaffney
and Greer took place Tuesday before
one of the largest and most enthu
siastic crowds yet gathered on the
local ball field. It was not so bril
liant a game as the one of the ‘day
before, nevertheless it was a splen
did exhibition and at times there
were fast and brilliant playing. In
the very first inning Gaffney made
three runs and the visitors never
overcame the lead. At no time was
the local club in danger, although
Suttle. who succeeded Poole in the
box after the second inning, never al
lowed a Gaffney man to cross the
plate. The following is the box

A Letter from the West.
Burlington, Iowa, July 27.—I will
try to write a short letter and let all
my friends know that I am still living
and getting on O. K. I had an attack
of acute indigestion which got the
best of me for several days but am
feeling a great deal better now and
I think I am on the road to normal
health. I will be at. Burlington for
several days. The doctor says I am
full of malaria. I look as If though I
had had a good case of jaundice.
I have seen a lot of very fine lands
since I left South Carolina, and espec
ially from Chatanooga to Cincinnatti
via Terre Haute to St. Louis it is fine
for miles and miles Just as level as a
yard and there is a lot of nice
in Iowa and also In Minnesota. I
want to go over into Kansas and Da
kotas, Wyoming, Washington and I
do not know where else before I re
turn to South Carolina.
I had the good luck to lose my um
brella while I was getting a ticket for
Burlington and also about $35 In
money.
Corn is bringing about 73 cents,
oats 50 cents and wheat 70 cents per
bushel out here and nice corn fed cat
tle are worth 6 1-2 cents per pound.
I witnessed some of my first boat
races, ball games and harvesting on
Sunday, July 19th. You can see the
reapers running here on Sunday just
the same as any other day when the
grain Is ready to harvest, harvest
ing is over here now and the yield is
very good. Corn is looking fine.
Wages are from $1 per day up to
$2.50 in the harvest fields. You can
see people from everywhere going to
the harvest fields. A farm hand can
get $1 a day and his board to work
on the farm.
The people all seem to live at home.
You can see hundreds of hogs In most
any of the pastures and also that
many beef cattle. I have seen train
loads of sheep pass Burlington.
Forty and fifty cars at one' time. I
am In plain view of the depot from
the hotel.
I will write you all the news I can
when I see more of the country.
With best wishes to all, I am,

FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.
I beg to announce my candidacy for
re-election to the office of Railroad
Commissioner. I am making my
campaign not on promises as to what
I will do, but on what I have done.
Those who have had business with
the Railroad Commission will testify
that I have ever been ready to dis
charge the duties of my office fear
lessly, impartially, and to the best in
terests of the people of South Caro
lina, and that I have always been
courteous to those desiring informa
tion and relief.
I am the only Railroad Commis
sioner who has moved his residence
to Columbia to be in daily touch with
the work of the office.
During my term of office I have in
spected personally every line of rail
road in the State, often walking
cross-ties that I might be assured
that the conditions of the roadbeds
and trestles were safe.
I have been often ia every county
in South Carolina, looking Into the
conditions of the stations, and im
proving the conveniences of the
travelling public.
I have stood for lower freight and
passenger rates, better schedules, and
safer modes of travel.
The handsome majority you gave
me formerly has always been appre
ciated, and has been an incentive to
a faithful performance of my duties.
I hope to have your support In the
coming election, and shall strive to
ever render you faithful service.
Yours truly,
