OLD SOLDIERS' DAY
AT OLANTA.
rBIG CROWD Pi.tSE.NT?SPEECHES BY
GOVERNOR mil AND SOLICITOR
HOGGS - US IOUMT TALK
The annual picnic at Olanta came
1 off last Saturday. The crowd was
1 nnf: an lartre as usual. but it WaS a
1 large one just the same: it is estimated
there were 4,000 people present,
the writer has seen double the
number. One of the reasons for the
crowd being smaller is that the tobacco
farmers are busy with 'cooking"'
the weed preparing it for niar
ket; another, no excursion rates
were offered by the Alcolu railroad.
It was a pleasaut gathering, people
from the several couuties that
intersect nearby coming in full force,
and although Florence, Williamsburg
and Sumter are "wet" countios,
we saw but very little of intoxication;
the fact is, the only men we
saw who looked as if they had imbibed
came from Clarendon.
TIL. J ? II r-^,1 o.wl
I -LUC CTUWU Wiw wen ucnaicu uuu
jolly, considerable "Beulah county"
talk could be beard in groups, and
an occasional Rutledge county advocate
would master up enough
courage to stand up for his project,
but it was the consensus of opinion
that Rutledge county is doomed, if
it depends upon Sandy Grove to
give a two-thirds majority. At oue
time the Sandy Grove people were
almost unanimous in wanting Rutledge
county, but their eves have
been opened to the schemes of the
Lake City town lot speculators.
The showing up of the wrangle cow
going on in Calhoun, over the alleged
deception of St Matthews, has
made our Sandy Grove friends sceptical.
Governor Ansel and Hon J E
Bogg3 made speeches, which entertained
a part of the crowd. The
speeches were on the subject of tne
I reunion of Company H, its 1 istory,
^nd the keeping alive the tires of
patriotism. Mr Boggs paid a most
eloquent tribute to the Confederate
soldier, and with an ingenuity equal
to an artist he painted beautiful
pictures of the work of the wives
and daughters in the troublous days
of the sixties. He told some amusing
anecdotes, which lifted the veil
of mourning and exposed the smile.
After the speaking the Siuner
served in in picnic style was a most
delightful feature of the occasion.
There was food, and good food too,
to feed twice as many, and those
jtho furnished the victuals were unceasing
in their efforts to see that
every one from abroad got a plenty
to eat. There were a number of
booths selling ice cold non-intoxicating
drinks, ice cream, peanuts,
pop corn,cigars and "cracker-jack".
Base-ball and other games were
played, the young folks enjoyed the
pretty little white lies they were tell
Img each other, and the old folks
enjoyed the coming together of old
friends, shakiug their hands, and
hearing their stories of their success,
the poor crops, increased families,
the coming marriages, and the hundred
and one things people talk about
'o a, coining together.
Olanta, seems to be growing, bul
is about to lose its railroad terminus,
because the Alcolu railroad is going
on towards Timmonsville: has already
reached across the river. Th<
little^ town of Olanta has energy and
pluck, the stores are exceedingly
creditable, the surrounding land*
jff *Kixiexcelled, and if Rutledgi
county fails, as they hope it will
they are going to make a hard fight
ft) have Olanta a county seat, anc
Boggs iu his speech promised they
would have it?Boggs,however, lives
ia Pickens and does not appreciati
how the people in this section of tht
State love each other, and how re
Jnctant they are to part.
I^ffhen Clarendon lost Motts town

Itga^is a grief pang that tool

HARPERS HAPPENINGS.
Trial of Georgetown Rapist as Viewed
by Eye Witness?Local Notes.
;
Harpers, August 2:?The writer |
attended the trial cf the negro,Jenk-|
ins, the attempted rapist, in George-j
town on the 27th ult. One of the
largest crowds was present that I
have ever seen at auy court or conn- !
tv seat. It was estimated at 2,000
people. While good order prevailed
during the entire trial, when the
criminal was brought into the court
room some little excitement was evident.
Everyone present was anxious
to see the brute. During the statement
the young lady made to the
jury every person in the court room
was shedding tear6 freely. For this J
brute to die on the callows does Bot'
suffice for this crime. It is beyond
my ability to mak* a pen picture of
what this brave young lady's experi-J
ence was fighting for life with thi3
fiend for 40 or 50 minutes, with no
one near to call on for help, not even
her pupil, who was ordered by the
1 monster to flee for her life,
' This is the first trial of the kind I
have ever attended and to hear such
a trial will make a white man have
feelings which can't be suppressed.
After the case was given to the jury
it (vas decided and the negro found
guilty within five minutes. The
following sentence was passed on
i Jenkius at once by Judge JohnS
Wilson: "You, John Jenkins, on
the 13th day of August shall hang
by the neck until you are dead. May
God have mercy ou your soul.'' I
' think such hanging should be done
in public and have as many negroes
present as possible.
Our community was visited last
1 Wednesday, the 28th ult, by a very
heavy rainfall and high winds and
hail, causing some damage to the
r>rr?r?B orpMP^ftltv.

The youDg people of Harpers had
the pleasure of attending a moonlight
picnic at the home of Mr aud
Mrs W A Moore on Thursday
night, July 29. All reports indicate
a fine time for all who attended. Mr
Moore is a successful farmer and
one of the best men of this community.
He reports having some as tine
corn as can be seen in the lower part
of this county. Farmers generally
have as tine crops as have ever been
produced in this community and all
have the smile of prosperity on their
faces and are awaiting the golden
harvest.
Watermelons, ereen Deas and a
few peaches arc the bill of fare at
Harpers. Mr Editor, come dowti and
see us.

want practical examples of this, remember
that the incendiary's torch
is lighted by liquor, the assassin's
blade is whetted with liquor, the
murderer's club is swung by strength
given by alcohol. Bishop Warren
tells of a father of a large family
who was a drunkard. All his children
except one died of the inherited
curse. This one, though an abstainer,
had an obstinate form of
dyspepsia, attributed by physicians,
to hereditary influences. His children
suffered from the sins of their
grandfather. A daughter died of
consumption, a son of delirium tremens,
another son shot himself on
the vergM)f delirium tremens.
. is a millstone around the
ne of the man or the nation that
uses it. it was a millstone around
the neck of the Russian army. An
intelligent Chinaman said: "Russian
officer and soldier?too much canteen;
Japanese captain and men?no
canteen, just like Melican soldier."
One writer puts alcoholic drinks in
a category with such thiugs as these:
"Break up the hornet's nest; cut off
snakes' heads; pat out fire; stamp
out a pestilence; shoot mad dogs,
and prohibit the liquor traffic."
Did not the prophet have his eye
ou the modern saloonkeeper when
he spoke the woe on the man that
mingles strong drink? But they
tell us, "A man has a right to drink
what he pleases in a free couuirv."
A man may drink watered milk, but
he may not sell it. He may read
obscene and vicious books, but it is
unlawful to sell them. He may
poison himself with liquor, make
his family paupers, and himself a
sot, but the precautions that prevent
the sale of watered milk, of colored
food, cr diseased meat ought to be
extended to poisonous drinks.? The
