* A Good Day at Old Langston * Church. * It was my unexpected pleasure, ow Ing to the thoughtfulness of Mr. Wal ter Nash, a candidate for the legisla ture, to attend the annual reunion of Co. F, 14th Reg. S. C. Volunteers, at Langston Church on August 19th. Through all these years I have looked forward to some day going to the church founded by my Colonial grand sire, bearing his name toduy-Lang ston-and my gratitude is great to wards Mr. Nazh for the offer of a seat in that splendid car of his, with so good (riverM s 'Tom Shaw going over, and Jud Langston coming ba c, there by making ib,, dienn, conie true.

Gazing out low ard the court house I 8pied a good old farimer. who has fo lowed the "Reform" party, even with Blease at its head. Knowing him to be ,s good as tihe bet, and 100 per cent .Amerlean at heart, I wondered in ny soul just how he stood today. Reaching the car just as he cane by, we passed' a pleasant "howdy do". I told him just what I have written here and the day was made brighter and my faith in 'Carolina's patriotism stronger for he is going to void right! All things come to an end, even waiting for candidates, so our partY gathered once again, reinforced by .l\i. R. T. Wilson told we wero soon speed lug in our way. We reached the church in time and fround a good!y n1mber l on the grounds. 'Well here we are," saidi the better half "and you dont' know a soul here." "ibon't let that worry you for just a sOnIt as I can get in side t hat cliutreh I'll find out one-half dozen ladies and all kinfolks to boot!" True to my word, I marched in. The first sweet-faced lady that I spoke to proved to be a kinswoman. She took lile under her protecting wing, and soon I had met a goodly number of Langston kin. .\11'. W\.

Ile' impresses upon one the truth "that he loves his fellow man." Imagination pictured for us that scene in the early sixties, when these 150 boys, now known to us as Co. F, 1 tIh S. C. Reg., met and was lod away hy Capt. Owens that 19th day of Au gust, 57 years ago, from old Langston church. Only 2 of the original com pany answered the roll call-Geo. NM.

The Spanish peppers differ from the ordinary sweet bell Peppers in that they have a much thicker meat, a very tough skin and are comparatively free from ridges. These peppers, Upon being heated develop a juice, and can be canned without the addition of wa ter as the juice will cover the peppers. If canned in this way, they should be tused as soon as opened, and for that reason most housekeepers prefer to can the peppers in a solution of vine gar and water in order that. they may be kept opei for several days.
