MEssRs. EDITORS: Will you please allow
me space in your paper, and promise you
that will not ask it of you again unless
am forced to do 80. Now. Mr.. Editor, the
articles over the caption of "Farmers Son"
have aroused the mind of the people to
some extent, not in favor of the article or
suggestion which lie heads it with, but
they can't find out where he stands or what
be is driving at. In his first article of Oct,
18th he wants to lay the foundation for the
whole people to stand on, and the principle
upon which the platform was to be built was
certainly true and good one-"Do unto to
others SIS you would have others do unto
you." Not asking more for what you have
for sale than you would be willing to pay,
or do not try to get something for nothing
True motto, and happy is the man who
practices it in this world or in the world to
come, but, alas hear the man talk in his
article of Oct. 24-"be sure and put on more
bagging than the Liverpool men take of y
have Al lbs. of nothing to get something
for. Poor fellow. he has Slipped off of his
own platform, which he tried to get others
on-he fell from grace. Selah. The bell
which he is trying to get the horny y-handed
sons of toll to follow has not got the right
sort of tone to it; il seems like that the
bell mas crack IN IL, anu tne SOus ol tOll
are afraid of anything which has jar to 1t.
Now, Mr.. Editor, he come out again Oct.
81 on competition the life of trade" con.
tradicting his of the Oath October In that
article he tried to show that it was to the
interest of the farmer to use jute bagging,
and get 44 lbs. of something for nothing.
Useless for ME to quote his figures or his
sayings upon this subject, as all are we'll
acquainted with them, having read them
over and over, trying to find out what he
was after. Stick big peg down here
competition the life of trade Now, Mr..
Editor, will the IF So tell me and your
many readers if trying to get cotton bagging
to butt against the jute bagging is not COM
petition what is it? And if trying to get
his fellow men to use jute bagging IN the
place Of cotton is not trying to break down
competition what is it? Selah.

Mr.. Fred 81. Hayselden, of Honolulu,
capital of the Hawaiian or Sandwich
Islands, showing three different views of
the remains of the late Walter M. Gibson,
Prime Minister of the Hawaiian Islands,
as they lay in state at his residence 10

his memory by the Hawaiian Govern
ment, and the pictures shows the kahih,
or plume bearers, all native Hawaiians.
as they kept watch over the remains day
and night for waek. The kahihs or
plumes were made from the feathers of
rare and small birds of the islands, and one
of large size was made by her Royal
Highness, Princess Lilinokolani, heir
apparent to the throne, and sister OF King

AS our Cray tonville correspondent who
represented portion of this section for
awhile through your columns has ceased
to exist, we feel like it would be no oppo-
sition on your valuable and interesting
medium Of instruction" to offer few
dots. that some of your many readers
may know u hat we ars doing in our Mo-
hawk region We don't think it all nec.
essary to state where Mohawk is. Reader,
.if you are in doubt as to where this local
ity is, we can only direct you to any old
standard Greek or German geography.
Mr.. Editor, It is not our wish to conflict
with "Crate'' in the least, but we simply
wish to force upon your readers the con-
tents of this communication.
Atlanta will have to do without num-
Der of our people who generally go to
fairs and exhibitions to represent Mohawk.
her men are proud and anxious to see her
flags of honor and independence soaring
aloft in defiance of all disastrous attacks.
The farmers are pushing their business
through as rapidly as energy and skilled
hands can we'll do it. Much of the late
cotton has been overtaken by frost, but
still there remains q vast amount to be
gathered by the weary farmer. The far
mers of Mohawk should be very thankful
to the Giver of all blessings for the boun-
tiful yield of their land this year.
The Rev. Mr.. Hays has been elected
pastor of Mt. Bethel Church for the ensu-
ing year.
Nearly all the Mohawks expect to kill
enough meat to supply them with bacon
and pork during next year. Several have
already stabbed the fatted calf till it bled
and died. Some have killed the fatted
cow, and others are going to come with a
sheep. So We suppose that they will kill
and swap around till every Mohawk will
have sheep calf and COW all on his own
table: Gosh at the good gravy we will
have!
The Sabbath School at Mt. Bethel,
which has for number of years been
superintendent by L. M. Wilson, has
elected r. E. Parker to superintsnd dur
ing the next year. Mr.. Parker has been
resident of Honea Path the present year,
having gone shere year ago to place his
children in the school at that place.
Mr.. Editor, we will be very brief this
time and not occupy so much space. In
our next we will, perhaps, tell you some
thing about the past, present and future
state of Mohawk. HAWK.

Since the pleasurable excitement that
attends such occasions as are necessary to
make happier those already happy in their
prospective future, has somewhat subsided
and nothing on this or any other plane is
ahead to heighten the feeling, our town is
relaxing to its business tenor. but none
the less are coDgratulatory expressions
showered upon the two happy couples, Mr..
and Mrs. J.. T. Cox, and DR.. and Mrs.
W. E. Campbell. So smooth and admira-
BILE blending of the simple and the beauti-
ful preparation for such occasions never
fails to excite the admiration OF fortunate
witnesses and to impress them with the
idea that those who have taken the initial
step to new life and thoughttuily consider
the fact that mans life is something more
than butterfiy's fight. The young gen.
tlemen are back from their tours, and are
working hand to hand with their fellow
workers, every well.wisher for Bolton, to
make Belton what it ought to be, and will
be.
There have been visiting here within the
past week Miss Lou. McFall of Greenville,

Mr. Hezekiah Rice saddened the hearts
of his many friends when he boarded the

Prot. H. P. Archer, superintendent Of
The city schools of Charleston, took Lasty
glance oyer our town last week while he
and his wife awaited the coming of the de-

How delightful would it be to have him
spend some days here and to visit our.
schools. If never before, on the day that
he would visit school would tho pupils
OF that school hear the voice Of q teacher.
He knows how to teach--he doesn't merely
hear recitations, but teaches.

in upper Carolina had equal advantages
before the additions of music and painting.
The teachers in these departments are of

are steadily bringing in pupils, and soon
the old school building will be o1tgrown.
We suggest that that those who have the
management of the new building press
forward the work, and let us have it ready
to turn over to the principal of our school
by February, at latest. Don't wait for con-

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES. A PROCLAMATION.
A highly favored people, mindful of
their dependence on the bounty of its
Divine Providence, should seek fitting
occasion to testify their gratitude and as
cribe praise to it, who is the Father of
their many blessings. It behooves US,
then, to look back with thankful hearts
over the past year and bless God for His
infinite mercy in vouchsa6ng to our land
enduring peace; to our people, freedom
from pestilence and famine to ,lv bus
bandmen, abundant harvests, and to them
that labor, recompense of their toll.
Now, therefore. /, Benjamin Harrison,
President of the United States of Ameri.
ca, do earnestly recommend that Thurs.
day, the 2Sth day of this present month
of November, be set apart as a day of ma
tional thanksgiving and prayer, and that
the people of our country, ceasing from
the cares and labors of their working day,
shall assemble in their respective places
of worship, and give thanks to God, who
has prospered US in our way and made
our paths paths of peace, begging him 10
bless the day to our present and future
good, making it truly one of thanksgiving
for each reunited home circle as for the
nation at large.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the Uni

missionary Day a, Big Creek Church

ME-. EDITOR: The Sunday School chill
dren and community have been looking
forward, with much anxiety, to the first
Sabbath in November, that being Mis-
sionary Day.
Early in the morning the lowering
clouds and descending rain promised
day of disappointment. but before 10
a. m. the clouds had all dispersed, and
the sun shone out bright and beautiful.
Soon the Church was filed to it's utmost
capacity with pleasant faces, who had
wended their way from the surrounding
country to join in the exercises of the day,
Upon entering the Church our atten.
ton was attracted by the tasteful and
beautiful decorations, and especially the
arch over the pulpit with this appropriate
inscription: "Give unto the Lord. The
exercises were commenced by singing
Gall hail the power of jesus name" fol-
lowed by an earnest and fervent prayer
by the Rev. r. W. Burts, the pastor.
After the reading of the lesson for the day.
other selections were read by some of the
members of the school. The different
classes we're then called upon, and each
member arose and repeated verse. Then
Mr.. c. T.. Horton, the uperintendent,
asked number of questions, to which
the pupils of the school promptly re.
sponded.
Next in order was the address by Mr.,
J. A. Mccullough, of Greenville, who
spoke to the children, together with tho
audience, in most thoughtful, forcible,
instructive and interesting manner; i'm.
pressing upon the minds of his hearers
the importance of the great work in which
they are engaged.
A miniature ship had been placed upon
the table, and each member of the differ
ent classes passed around and deposited
their mite, after which four little girls
passed through the congregation, giving
every one an opportunity to contribute.
The contributions amounted to S2I.00.
The Rev. R. w. Burts made few short.
and appropriate remarks. The pro-
rramne was intorspersed with excellent
Singing, led by Mr.. r. NJ. Poore. At the
conclusion the Superintendent, in behalf
of the school. thanked the speaker for his
kind response to their invitation. X.

jolly good fellow, he kept the town lively
with his splitting anecdotes and tales.
He has fallen upon quite an ingenious
way of making an OK stand-ask him
about it.

stand while preaching, but has chair
raised above the floor, and while he sits
never tires in ministering to his hearers.
We are glad this week to be able TO
( state that the Mofattsville school is now
fully equipped for business. The services
of Miss Hollemah, of Walhalla, has been

the night found many sleepy heads
vending their way home from another

We were shown this week sight very
unusual by Mr.. C. G. Simpson, lot of
seven of the finest hogs we have seen in a

prepared for the larder will now average
three hundred pounds or more. We pro-
