U JVTL'L V OLD TIME SCENES ON ' UPPER BLACK RIVER RECALLED BY "POOR CONRAD" i ?BREWINGTON LAKE 50 YEARS AGO. Editor County Record:? Some weeks ago I wrote a little 1 history of Black river relating to some things that happened during ] the boyhood days of the writer and I since he began to get old and gray, i I will not confine my story altogeth- 1 er to the river alone but wiah to ; scout around and about the sections ; a mile or so along the country i bordering on the old river, as I i begun writing on the upper waters ' and so on down. I think of many j things that happened at one place ( and then another, the farms and ] fine plantations bordering on the 1 river, with the hundreds of slaves, ' the friendly neighbors with such ( quiet homes. There seemed to be ] so much leisure time?nobody in a ] hurry. Meeting on the road there \ would be a stop and a long talk and ^ at the parting they would shake hands and say, "Good bye," with { the last words, "When are you com- 1 ing? Well, do come." f Yes, it was a quiet time, far 1 away from the busy hustle of the , city, no railroad, no shrill piercing < sound of the ruthless locomotive < whistle. As Mr Bill Arp used to 1 say, all was calm and serene, but, 1 alas, how now everything is in a rush. , No time to talk and but few that will take the time to ask, how are all? ' As Mr Dick Kellahan says, "Well, 1 John, you must get in the band 1 wagon if you wish to ride." And. 1 so it* is. Nearly all try to get in the busy whirl. The writer would ' like to get in the band wagon, too, ' but it is too fast for him now. His foot steps are feeble. 1 Once fearless and bold. 1 He has had his ups and downs without being looked upon as a hero, but these are my friends. Out in ' the country many of them have in- 1 herited the old time friendliness and ' know me when they see me, matters 1 not how small I am getting. I ( have some in Kingstree who know ' me when I meet them. It is a good 1 feeling to know you are remembered, especially by friends far away in 1 distant lands. Hope the readers ! will excuse me for getting away i from the main track. I can't help i going back to the arms of my ' friends. They love me and I in re- 1 turn must love them. 1 The kitten well may love the cat, < The cat may love the older rat, The pig may love the mother sow, I The calf may love the milking cow, j But cat or rat or frig or calf Love not their friends as I, by half. In my letter some time ago about : Black river, I was in the neighbor- 1 hood of Martin and Jordan lakes, ' the great warmouth fishing holek ! I have skipped along a little too fast and I must retrace my steps 1 and go back five or six miles to ' Brewington lake and tell about a ' big fishing frolic a crowd of us had 1 up there. One summer day when 1 the lake was quite low we had some 1 gill nets with which we surrounded 1 the main places where the copperhead ' bream were hiding. There must * have been between 50 and 60 men. ' We all plunged into the lake, swimming and splashing, driving the fish 1 into the net. Hundreds of the 1 finest were caught and such a fish i eating we had. Some of the best 1 swimming was done there I ever 1 saw. Weswam from the lower end i of the lake to the head, which is 1 about half a mile. We plunged and < -J-??J - ? J arnimmSn/v 1 UlVtfU auu S^ioaucu, Jiiat snuiiiiuug from one side and then the other. I Such a time routing the fish, splash- 3 i g water orv one another. A Mr i Isaac Hodge was in the party and i nearly every one had a pick at Mr i Hodge. He was about the oldest < man there and they threw water on s him the most of the time. At last, * he crept out along the bank of the 1 lake, shivering as if he had a chill. < Mr Lawrence Mcintosh said to him, t "Isaac, you will not want any more i washing until you die." We had some good swimmers in i the party. There were the Plowdens, | s the Evanses, the Flemings,the Rear- j 3 dons and many others whom I do , c not seem to know. Mr Edgar and J t his brother, Rathburn Plowden, lived ' i '1 i.x*cv * What is Womai Beai lod the Basis of Her Health and Vigor Lies io the Careful Regulation of the Bowels. If woman's beauty depended upon cosmetics, every woman would be a picture of loveliness. But beauty lies deeper than that. It lies in health.

They io not eat carefully, they eat indigestible foods because the foods are served daintily and they do not ex-* ;rcise enough. Bat whatever the particular cause may be,it is important that the condition should be corrected. An ideal remedy for women, and Dne especially suited to their delicate requirements,is Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which thousands of women jndorse highly,among them Mrs C S Vance, of 511 S Ray St,New Castle, Pa. At times she had spells of indigestion so severe that she thought she would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her stomach and bowels, and she attributes her excellent health today to this remedy. All the family can use Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, for thousands )f mothers give it to babies and children. It is also admirably suited to the requirements of elderly people, in fact, to all who by reason of age ar infirmity cannot stand harsh salts, :juite near the lake. Both were fine men and splendid fishers and hunters. I met Mr Edgar Plowden about eight years ago while I was camping near the same lake. He spoke about the great day we had then and said it was the finest swimming he ever saw. Mr Sam Montgomery, an old /rishman who lived in that section,was a kind-hearted man. All called him "Uncle Sammy". He was standing on the bridge that spanned the lake looking at the men swimming. "Ouch!" said he, "I knowed a man in the ould country that could swam an' play the fud3el." "Uncle Sammy's" house was [lis friends' house also. He loved whisky. There lived a family of Nelsons in the fork of Black river near "Uncle Sammy's" house. They were the sons of Mr Jared Nelson, a good man and a soldier of the war of 1812. rhe boys were all clever good fellows but loved whisky and were fond of deviltry. They would qn cortain nights get about three or five Billons of whisky and with the jug go to "Uncle Sammy's" house. It was all right with him; a rousing frolic they would have. They would complain of its being cold and make :? ..n t-j-. oil rrn out inln fVlO thlVlfpf it IU an f?\J VUb IUWV VMV . and cut some wood, coaxing "Uncle Sammy"' to go,too. While out there they would manage to cut a small tree that had a good many limbs on it to fall on "Uncle Sammy", sometimes knocking him down. All would run up and help to pull the old man 3ut and, pretending to want to beat the one who cut the tree. After some tiigh words peace would be made and all would go to the house and have some friendly drinks. Well, let's go on back to Jordan ake. But before I leave the Brewington lake 1 must tell of a Mr Eli Flemng, living on Mr Edgar Plowden's place. As I said, Mr Plowden was a ?reat hunter and he and Mr Flemng were in the swamp hunting turceys, being within gunshot of ?ach other, but neither knowing I :hey were so near. Mr Fleming be?afi to yelp to call up a turkey and \4r Plowden did the same. They vere both hiding in the cane, which frew in bunches,making a good hidng place. Mr Plowden, being tired )f calling the supposed turkey and teeing the canes move a little, fired I t load of shot into Mr Fleming but' fortunately did not wound him seri- j >usly. It would vex Mr Plowden to ease him about shooting Mr Flemng for a turkey. There was fine fishing in Black iver those days. Some of the old iett!ers had their favorite places to it and catch all they wanted. Many >f the spots were named for the ones hat frequented certain places^ as4 'Zack's hole" (Zack Harrington), . . i j?.j-.- a .. i's ity but Health? Mrs C S Vance. cathartics, pills or purgatives. These should always be avoided, for at best their effect is only for that day, while a genuine remedy like Syrup Pepsin acts mildly but permanently. , It can be conveniently obtained at any drug store at fifty cents or one dollar a bottle.

Before leaving Jordan I will say that it is opposite Mr J S Evans' home. The Alderman mill company had their logging road built into Jordan lake through the swamp. Mr Evans and some others who used to go to that famous fishing spot keep the road in good traveling order, that wagons, buggies and automobiles may go up to tne side of the lake. Below Jordan lake in the run of the river are Ben's lake and Stephen's lake, where "Pete" Epps and the writer pulled many a fine string of fish, the like of which will never be seen again. I did not mention the Pendergraas brothers, who were also at the big fishing and swimming in Brewington lake fifty years ago. Jolly John More Pendergrass was there. He was much of a man; a finer specimen of manhood was never raised in this section. He was a gentleman. If any of that party are alive besides myself I do not know it. All must be gone to the far beyond, the great and awful unknown. .

I hope to be at Conyers lake and Reardon's creek by the next writing. No more at present from P C. High Speed. The old mountaineer, who was standing on the corner of the main street in a certain little Kentucky town, had never seen an automobile. When a good-sized touring car came rushing up the street at about thirty miles an hour and sloved down just enough to take the cor- 4 ner on two wheels, his astonishment, was extreme. ^ The old fellow watched the disap-. pearing car with bulging eyes and; open mouth. Then, turning to a bystander, he remarked solemnly: "The horses must sho'ly ha' been traveling some when they ?ot loose from that gen'leman's carriage!"? Philadelphia Ledger. ^ K Consumptive Cough.
