The Pic Mic at Cooley's Bridge.

1t is not often that we spend more
pleasant day in the country than we spent
at the pic mic at Cooley's Bridge last
Thursday. We left the city carly Thurs
day morning in company with Z. q.
Long, Esq, and were among the first to
reach the place. Soon, however, the peo-
pie wore coming in from every direction,
and il short time large crowd, yari-
ously estimated at from five to seyon hun
dred, had collected. The pic mic proper
took place on an island just below the
bridge, and we don't think we have ever
seen more beautiful or appropriate place
for pic mic. The island embraces about
four acres Of land, is high and dry and
beautifully shaded. On the Anderson
County side substantial foot bridge had
been built across the stream to the island.
A stand hadibeen erected on the island,
and about H. O'Clock the crowd congi ega-
ted here to listen to the speakers of the
day. Maj. Ira G. Williams, of Belton,
presided, and introduced as the first
speaker Rev. A. A. Marshall, of this city,
who delivered very fine and interesting

BoLEMAN, s. c., August q, 1888.
MIR. EDITOR: Since the publication oi
my recent reply to Mr.. R. w. Todd,
have conferred with number of gentle
men who road Mr.. Todd's letter to which
made reference therein and while all
agree that the statement of my informant
was Substantially correct there is some diff
ference of opinion as regards the eract
soords in which the charge against me was
made. Some claim that Mr.. Todd used
the word fraudulent" others insist that
be used tho word s'orookedness" or
"crooked." The gentleman to whom the
letter was written informs me that Mr..
Todd used the expression, stripped me ii,
some of n,y c,ookcdness.'' However, all
agree that the statement of my informant
(Mr. j. D. Compton) is substantially cor.
rect, as the nature of the charge is in no
way affected, since the word crooked
ness" used in that connection could mean
nothing else than fraud. Hence, in order
to forestall Misrepresentation, and with
a view Of doing justice to ell concerned, I
cheerfqlly make this conGession-if con-
cession it be.
Respectfully,
G. n. @. BDLEMAN.

who entertained the audience in avery
interesting manner on the progrcsslveness

Dinner was next on the programme,
and of course every one present was
ready for it. We had numerous invita-.

not accept all of them. Everybody seemed
to fare we'll.
The afternoon was spent in various
ways. Those who desired to participate
in the merry dance went oyer to the
Greenville side, where they danced to
their hearts content. The candidates for

That night lawn party was given at
the same place, and quite number of the
young people remained there to enjoy it,
The island was illuminated with Chinese
lanterns and bon.fres, and presented q
most beautiful scene. Dancing was
again indulged in, and it was late hour
before the merry crowd dispersed.
Msssrs J. NJ. Cox and E. n. Poore cer-
tainly deserve the thanks of every one
who was present. These gentlemen had
provided every comfort and convenience
for the entertainment of the crowd, and
did everything possible to make all enjoy
the occasion.
The pic mic was certainly success in
every particular.
