THE PICNIC AT "THE FALLS."
By common custom there is a picnic
at the Catawba Falls the first Saturday
in May every year. Every one is in
vited and every one goes whether in
vited or not. The trip is a long one
from most any point you may select,
but distance is no obstruction to "the
fellow and his girl" who wish to perch
upon s .we lofty rock towering above
the mad crrent which is surging and
splashing below them. They enjoy
the wild romantic spot because they
are in love. The music of the waters
is sweet to them because they are in
love; the shade is pleasant, the rocks
are as comfortable as spring cashions;
the labor of climbing the abnost Inac
cesable heights is made easy, in fact
the occasion is one -of inexpressable
pleasure becaaue-they are in love.
They tell each other the old, old story
which never grows old. They take
for their text, "See that ye love one
another," and they try earnestly to be
consistant,-to practice what they
preach.
Well, the reporter for this paper has
been all along there and can say that
these same "Christians" would enjoy
themselves if seated on an ice cavered
log in the dead of winter with the
thermometer registering way below
freezing point.
But a newspaper man is expected to
tell the public what is going on and in
what manner. Consequently he found
himself slowly wending his way on
Friday evening toward the placQ of
enjoyment. The roads must first be
observed, and right here we mnet state
that they were far beyond our expec- ~
tation. With the exception of a
number of holes we experienced no
great difficulty. But perhaps we are
used to bad roads, which may make a
difference.
The crops are very much behind;
cotton not up to a stand yet and a
great deal of planting was in progress
as we passed along the road. .
Night found the reporter at the t
home of Mr. Strother Ford, where the
latch string has hung outward at all
times in the past and still continues
to hang there Mr. Ford and his
wife assured him of a hearty welcome
and made him feel at home. It was
with a tinzge of sadness that we noted
this -hale, hardy man, so blind that he ~
cannot go out or in the house without
the guidance of a staff, and can only,
find his way to the barn by means of
a rope suspended from the porch to
the stable. But the ruling passion is
strong, and three times a day he fol
lows the rope to his stable and de
posits the feed for his stock as has I
been his custom for over sixty years..
The throng of pleasure seekers com-,
menced to pass by as early as 7 o'clock
in the morning, so we bade farewell
to these elderly friends and joined the
giddy gang bound for the falls. We
met friends from Lancaster, York,
Chester and Kershaw. We cdined
the rugged hills. we rested ('i) in the
shade, met old friends and made new
acquaintances. There is no resisting
the pressure of custom and association,
so we sat on those hard rocks with the
girls; we listened to the murmur (or
rather the roar) of the dancing, splash
ing water; watched the patient fisher
man, treated to lemonade (the reporter's
wife was at home,) and had a good
time generally.
There was no, spcial program, a
"just go-as-you-please" way of doing
thingsgenerally. The grea est pleasure
is in meeting so many old friends.
Every one present seemed to "have met
an old friend."
The place is renowned from the fact
that the WVet Point Military Academy
came near being located thereonly one
vote behind. The water power is
about ninety thousand hor-e power.
There is a large two story vinae-cad
brick structure which was a United
States arsnel. The old canal locks
may be plainly seen; they were built
by the Ntate. The old stone house,
built for the keeper of the canal], is
there with the vines climbing over it.
There is a natural cave in the rocks );
on, the far side of the river where the
fishermen were cooking. Thc depth
of it is hufficient to shelter them from a
rait or s:orm. p
The stream of 'velicles ponured ini
until about 11 o'clock, and by i[al -
heir way homeward. But it i1
tearyv sundown before some of thc
elnvetant lovers bid farewell to th<
cene of pleasure.
The dinner tables are numeronu:
hey consist of table c othi sp; ead oul
n the ground and several familie!
encrally "bunc'i" their baskets. Th
epa'rter was pressed wi:h many invi
ations, but observed his rule by eatinc
vith the first man who asks him, viz.
Jr. Barclay Johnston.
We would like to suggest that somi
>oards or benches be constracted foi
)eople who are not in love to sit on
he place is not an ideal one for com
ort at a picnic. The hillsides ar
teep and the matter of a good com
ortable seat is a rarety. The dal
vas, however, a pleasant one generally
)ut being sufficiently amused by th<
iour of four, "we" bade "our girl
-arewell under threats that she keel
he writer's attentiveness a matter o:
>rofound secrecy and parted with thi
leasure-seekers.
The sun was hiding behind the tree
tnd hills as our turnout halted at thi
esidence of Mr. C.1S. Furd. We say
L.hitching post and asked no questions
mnd with all resoect to the young
adies whom we chatted to and th
!alls with all their grandeur and his
orical renoun, we must say that th
reatest pleasure of that day wa
lound in the big armed rocking chai
n Mr. Ford's porch. It was the firs
nd only good flat seat we had durin,
he twelve hours. The young folk
f Mrs. Ford's family soon drove up
ired and sleepy, but not too much s
o entertain THE NEWS AND HIRAL
nan with somegood music and singing
Yhich he greatly enjoyed. All 0:
hem are children, but the musica
alent is prominent and developed
he hour of bed time rolled around
tnd forgetting the scenes and faces o:
he day, we slept ]ke a man with
:ear ccnscience whose debts weri
aid. We bid tliese kind friends fare
ell and by the hour of noon weri
joying that comfort and pleasuri
vhich surron ds no place like home.

HE C00M1ITTED SUICIDE!
The Cause and Its Lesson.
Why did he commit suicide? Oh! for
the same reason that thousands of others are
on the verge of the same sin, or in imme
diate danger of- insanity, paralysis, idiocy,
or some other equally unfortunate result of
any nervous affection. He knew he was
afficted with a nervous disorder, but was
careless, apparently indifferent to the out
come; or he may have lessened his chances
for recovery by treating with physicians
who had little or no knowledge of such af
fections, or by delugig himself with worth
less so-called remedies. .is case was a sad
one, but no worse than that of any other
nerv:s sufferer, who has nervous or sick
helh, biliousness, dizziness, irritability,
meeM ,failing memory, hot flashes,
rani~.sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia,
sexal a'lty.epilepsy, etc. The same or
