Home Again.

Home Again.
After vacation Of three weeks. the Local
Is homo again, at work TO make up for lost
time. Time not lost, however, in pleasure,
but lost in the business duties Of life, for
we enjoyed our vacation far beyond our
"most ssnguine expectation"
Our visit to tho Peo Dee section Of the
State, attending the meeting Of the Grand
Division of the Sons Of Temperance, at Car
tersville, was very pleasant one indeed, and
We regret that space will not permit US to
give our readers as full oh account Of
ibi- -a.,ishtf.si sessioa Of Our iovod Carolina
as We would like; but suffice it TO say, that
IL is considered the prcttiest and most pro-
life section of the Palmetto State. The peo-
pie are intelligent, prosperous, and hospi-
table, and are happy under tho inspiring
prospects Of splendid crops.
During our absence We visited the Agri-
cultural department at Columbia, and we
suggest to all who visit that city TO
make it point to visit that Department.
for we assure them they will be we'll paid
for the time spent in going through it.
Weall should, as far as possible, make our
selves acquainted with the various products
of our State and the Agricultural Depart
ment at Columbia is the place provided by
the State, for the deposit of all articles of the
Mineral, Vegetable, Piscatorial and Apiary
kingdoms, together with the other products
Of the State.
Upon our return from the lower portion
OF tho SiAie, - f-;esa prorsttud upuu to
join him in trip to our native County :,
Laurens, where for ten days we enjoyed
the hospitaltics of the good people of that
good old County, meeting many old friends,
and forming many new and very pleasant
acquaintances, to whom we return many
thanks for the kindness shown us during
our scjourn among them.
1t was with grelt deal Of reluctance that
we parted with them aud turned eur
face homcward but duty called us, espe
cially after reading the last issue of!he TINES,
in which the Senior called us the "Silent
Evangelist" Then our conscience smote
us for we thought Of the old adage, .charity
should begin at home," and we were aware
OF the fact that if silent evangelistic work is
needed anywhere il is in the Editorial sauctum N
Of q newspaper, where all things are seen
"t"r rough s'"ss darkty':, rs was very evident
when the Editor Of the Laurensvillc Herali
said the Senior Editor Of the TINES is better
looking than the local. Well, we would like
to sGy that the Editors of the TINES and Hcrald
arc both good looking men, but being q
"Silent Evangelist we are constrained to
preserve the good name of our calling and
speak the truth, so we will be true to our
colors and keep wi,m on that pc:;i:.
We made short visit to Laurens village,
and felt proud Mt seeing the good old town
show such unmstakable evidences, Of pros
perity aud business animation. A Cotton
Factory and Cotton Seed Oil Altll ore as
surci enterprises there, aud the people gen.
orally have caught the infection of progress
so badly that brickmaking and mum.
