on such occasions there is some little grum-

Paid Big Price for Seed, and Intends TO
Gain the Prize-NantS to Form Pool
With all the CNnteStantS-.tln'tS Scared.

FoREsroS, May 4-Elitor Tnaes:-In your
issue OF May in speaking OF my seed corn
you stated that I had ordered my seed from
Maine which was correct; but after recelT-
ing it saw an advertisement where Messrs.
Geddings 4 Read, of Rutland, Vt, offered
one hundred dollars to the party winning
the prize if they planted their corn, and MS
I expected to get the prize, and thinking an
additional S100 would not be amiss, asked
them to send me sample ear. They sent
it by mail. and while it had the appearance
of being the same variety, it was greatly i'm
proved, being much better developed, and
had fonr more rows on the cob. ordered
one bushel which cost me with express
charges $500. I have planted, ard it IS
growing fully up to expectations.
I hear that there is over fifty contestants
in this State, and I suppose they all expect
to win. To make the contest interesting l
propose that all the contestants enter pool
and let the successful party have all the corn
or its equivalent. Foreston amt scared.
Respectfully, r. r. HUDGINs.

RecOIlectiOns of Juneville.

In the year 1914 John F. June having sold
his place two mile. below to A. R. Bradham,
purchased plantation from Jacob White
head, and from this date forward it was
known as Juneville. In a few years there
were established at this place two wheel
wright shops kept by Bell and Sprott, Bell
in charge Of his own, and that noted old
veteran of the English army, Joseph Street,
who lost his left leg in defense of his coun-
try's rights, in charge of Joseph Sprotts;
three stores kept by John F. June, Joel G..
Rhodus, and B. A. Walker; four practicing
physicians, Dr. Lewis, DR.. Jasper Butler,
DR.. James McCauley, and Dr.S. c. G. Rich
ardson; and a tailor shop kept by W. A.
Barield. This place was noted at this time
as the headquarters of Clarendon county.
It had fine race course, and much money
changed hands in horse racing.
twas in 1852 that DR.. S. C. C. Richardson
made his maiden speech in Introducing
Maj W. T. Lesesne, orator of the day, on
the 4tn OF July OF InaC year.
Capt. Edward B. Davis about this time
organized the celebrated Black River Troop
and mustered at this place once month.
The organization was kept up for many
wears, and was commanded by Capt. W. r.
Coskrey, ". j. r. Cantey, aud others. Capt.
Davis was elected Colonel of a regiment of
cavalry organized by cavalry companies in
this and adjoining counties including bis
company. Col. Davis died just before the
war II he had lived he would have been
to South Carolina what Forest was to len
nessee, IN the late war.
The Court House should have been locat-
ed here, and there was o struggle between
the commissioners in the location, a single
vote deciding against the place. After it was
settled that Juneville should not be the
court house Walker, the merchant Bell, the
black smith, and Barfeld, the tailor, moved
to Manning, and Juneville lost its impor-
lance. 1t was at this place IN 1851 that the
'sSprott Guards" were organized BY Lesesne,
Harvin, Slawson, Bradham, Strange, Ridg-
i'll, Butler, and others, and the company
elected as their captain H. L. Benbow. who
was then in the field a member OF the Man
ming Guard, of the Hampton Legion, near
Manassas, Va.
For many years this has been the place Of
reunion of the Sprott Guards, and this year
(23 August next) they propose to meet with
their old chaplain, Rev. j. L. Glrardeau, D.
D., of Columbia who will address them as
he did in the days gone by, and pass a
pleasant day together.
II was at this place that Miss Josie Nc
Leans school had delightful picnic on
Friday, May 3rd, 1889, where so many peo-
pie enjoyed themselves, and the young
'dudes" of Manning had an opportunity to
exhibit to the crowd how nice fellow can
look. CoSFED VET.

marched to one of the offending stores, and

School Picnic at JuneEille.

Last Friday was a gala day for the chill
dren, their annual picnic day, and it had
been looked forward to with great pleasure.
This year three schools, the Manning Acad-
euy, Manning Grove School, and the Jor-
dan school, agreed to unite in one big pic
nic, Miss Josie Mclean, the popular teacher
Of the Jordan school, suggesting the union.
It was happy thought. These Jordan
people are not excelled in hospitality and
'b;g heartedness" by any people in the
world: what they undertake they accom-
plish with brilliant success.
The day was all that could be desired,
bright, beautiful, and balmy. About three
hundred persons in all were present, OF
whom nearly two hundred were children.
They were engaged all the day IN romp-
inc and playing, and their only regret
when late in the afternoon they had to
leave was that the day had been so short.
There is nothing unsocial about this people.
One feels at home, and as if he had always
been among them.
All day buckets of ice lemonade were
passed through the crowd, and with 1t nuts
and cakes and crackers and candies. But
the dinner was the best OF all We have
been to many picnics, and have eaten not q
few good dinners at them, but this dinner
surpassed all. And it was so nicely con-
Quoted. It would be very difficult to pre-
pare better dinner. or to manage 1t better:
The table was q large hollow square, and
within, on and sader huge table was plac-
ed the things to eat. Plates and knives
and forks were given every one; the only
thing lacking was chairs! Ten ladies' and
gentlemen acted as walters, and each person
was helped to what he wanted. There was
no snatching and filing huge pans for one
or two, and wasting twice as much as con-
sumed. The first table was specially tor
children; the second for ladies and their es-
corts; and the third for the gentlemen. The
dinner we will not attempt to describe: Just
imagine first class Christmas dinner, and
you will come near it. Everything season
able that was good was on hand. And when
all had eaten till they could eat no more,
there was left enough to feed justsuch an
other crowd!
Late in the afternoon everybody, well
pleased with the events Of the day, left Tor
home.
