Misses Pauline James, Janie Ed
wards, Belle Race, Birdie Watson,
Jennie and Nannie Pollock, accom
panied the Cheraws and completely
captivated the Palmetto boys by their
lovely faces and charming manners.
It is said that several of the boys lost
their hearts and that they were taken
to Cheraw.
At 2 p. m. a bountiful dinner was
spread under the shade of the large
mulberry tree, to which all present
did ample justice. •
At 4 p. m. the game was called
and resulted in an easy victory for
the Palmettoes—the score standing
Palmetto 18 and Cheraw 4. Messrs.

SOUTH CAROLINA BEAUTY.
The Clinrniiiig Miss Anna Keitt
at Saratoga Springs.
(New York Horae Journal.]
A daughter of the gods,
Divinely tall, and most divinely fair.
Quietly stopping at this house (the
Henstis) is a stately, high-bred dame
and her daughter from South Caro
lina—the latter one of the most
beautiful girls in Saratoga. She is
Miss Anna Keitt. Her forehead is
surmounled by hair “warm as amorn-
ing sunbeam’s ruddy gold,” that tint
so loved by Titian; her eyes, eye
brows and long lashes are of a dark
er hue, the eyes softly wistful or pro
foundly meditative; her throat is a
pillar of snow, pure and white; she
has a beautiful little nose and a
chin not square, yet full of resolu
tion like her exquisite mouth, which
! adds sweetness to resolution ; slender
but rounded arms and a figure of
j lithest loveliness complete a picture
j which draws all eyes as if w’ith a mag-
; net when in the early mornino’ she
, walks out in the life-breathing air of
: the beautiful Congrees Park, glad as
| the birds chanting in the tree-tops
j above her.
And yet the admiration she excites
. seems to fall impassive, as a lantern
firing on an iceberg. Not that she
j is made of ice, but her kismet, her
fate, is still in the future. I know
j that her nature is loving and gra-
| cions, for not one unkind or sarcastic
! remark have I ever heard her titter.
Herwidowed mother manages with
skill and generous kindness to her
j employees the cotton plantations she
! owns, and, oh, how delicious it is to
| hear her talk and to mark how un-
! consciously she clings to the tradi-
| tions of her race.
Walking with her one morning in
! Congress Park, through the perfumed
j paths still dim with dew, I noticed!
| that she carefully avoided stepping

The farmers say that they are ma

now, if they can just have a few days
of good weather for saving it. Feed
will not lie scarce next year.
Picnics during the spring, pro
tracted meetings in the summer, par
ties now, is the way things move
about here.
Mr. Editor, can’t you or some one
persuade Hon. G. W. Dargan to come
out again and make the race for
Congress, as every one knows the
good that Mr. Dargan has done and
he would have such an easy job to
lick Stackhouse out of his boots.
Palmetto Points.
Messrs. McGill and Wilds have
started their saw mill to running
again this week.
Mr. J. B. Edwards has gone to,
Charleston for a week of business j
and pleasure.
We had rain yesterday, which
stopped the anxious farmers from 1
picking cotton.
Work has been completed on the
addition to Gen. W. E. Janies’house,
and it is a good piece of workman
ship.
Misses McCall, of Darlington, who
have been visiting Miss Fannie Ed
wards, returned home Monday.
Mr. R. M. Nettles has sold some
of his first tobacco he had cured, and
got seventy cents for some of it. We
do not know what his average was,
but guess it was good.
Drummers have found their way
to Palmetto since we have so many
stores in operation. Palmetto will
be the city of the South when Flor
ence and Darlington meet here.
Rev. Thus. H. Edwards came home
from Glenn Springs last Friday. He
looks some better and a good deal
stouter, and says he feels very much
improved.
Master W. E. James has opened
his new store near his father’s resi
dence. We wish him much success.
He is the youngest merchant we
have ever heard of.
Messrs. John and David Coit and
W. 1’. Pollock, of Cheraw, have been
visiting Mr. R. L. Edwards. They
left for home Monday morning to
attend the funeral of their aunt. We
regret the cause that suddenly called
them from us.
Mr. P. G. Rowland, of Henderson,
N. C., is visiting P. P. Rowland. He
will return home next Monday. He
speaks favorably of this section for
tobacco, and says this crop is very
tine down here. He represents the

were missing one of them, after a
solemn confab with a committee,
mounted pompously on a pebble, and
in a speech full of fire, fury and pas
sion, standing on its forelegs and
flourishing its hind legs perpendicu
larly, and vice versa, he commanded
all present to he true to themselves
and their glorious institutions, and
not to touch an atom of that food un
less it was properly served: and there
they sat steadfast and unflinching,
until they were just dying of starva
tion, when the philosopher popped in
a dozen black ants.
“Hev! prosto! what a hullabaloo
ensued! Each black ant flew to a
red ant, lioosted it up and put grains
of sand under it here and there for
pillows; then, rushing to the food,
prepared it in double-quick time, and
fed it in mouthfuls to their masters
with everv mark of respectful sym
pathy. The latter soon revived, and
resuming their whilom dignity and
authority, set the poor little black
ants to clearing up and foraging for
fresh food, Without a moment’s de
lay, while the red ants lounged
around, waving their Tegs at each
other and mildly abusing Inter-State
commerce law or some such arrant
nonsense.”
I am told that our renowned legis
lators, out of Congress, consider that
the above-mentioned Inter-State com
merce law is a little the most idiotic
law they have passed so far.
But perhaps it is imprudent to
mention this fact lest, as Golly Cibber
said when playing whist and revo
king : “Confound you and your com
ments! I ran play a thousand times
worse if I like.”
