Tom Goes on a Picnic,

MIR. ED1ToR:-Amidst the political
agitation which seems to convulse the
whole of the public mind, like a tidal
wave sweeping before its face every
thing, we have pleasure and enjoy
ment to the hearts content, although
passing through ore of the most try
ing crdeals of our political life. We
have one of the finest crop prospects,
50 it really seems everything magma
BILE rebounds to our comfort, and
there is no end to our pleasures.
The picnic and excursion to Entaw
on the 4th was represented by five
counties. We boarded the train on
schedule time at Silver in company
with as jovial, merry picnickers as you
would like to see. 1t was a morning
of happy sunshine and delightful
promise; every one anxiously looked
and anticipated great things. We did
not wait long ere the whistle OF the
locomotive from Sumter was the sig
nal to be ready for the long train
which soon came in sight, and with
scarcely a moments stop, with loud,
shrill voice from the conductor, 'All
aboard" sped her way to Summerton,
where others joined the party. AT
St. Paul we took our final cargo o1
mortal flesh from Clarendon.
need not tell your readers that
Packsville, Silver, Summerton and St
Paul furnished on that day some oi
the handsomest ladies on the excur,
sion. I felt deeply that the young
men were so backward in the absence
of the old folks where such fortunes
lay within easy grasp.
At Vances Orangeburg furnished a
bevy of young ladies, who, together
with her young men, showed up well
At Eutawville the Charleston train
brought numbers from the lower
counties. BY the time wereached the
spring the picnickers numbered almost
thousand people. Que could but
feel exquisite pleasure on witnessing
the merry group as they marched OF
foot from the train, distance OF three
hundred yards, to the spring. Music
from the Sumter brass band, furnish
ed by the railroad company, inspired
tie greater thought that even tn;
force of pleasure was enhanced to glv'
life To the occasion That tie da,
was celebrated with becoming taste
and exquisite grandeur no one vii
deny. Old and young were pleased
never regretting their visit to tn,
spring; this visit never will be et1acet
from life's memory. Tie dinner ex
celled almost anything of the kind: ic'
cream, lemonade, and soda waite
profusely abounded. With all thi
social enjoyment mingling and com
rningling, I am satisfied from what
saw lore has done some fearful worl

The Cotton Warehouse.

There is an effort being made to es-
tablish large alliance warehouse in
Manning, and we hope it will meet
with success. The farmers would
store their cotton in such warehouse
and certain days would be appointed
for the sale OF the cotton; the conse-
quence would be that cotton buyers
from abroad would come here, COM
pete with each other in prices, and the
farmer would get the benefit of the
competition.
AS another good result, the farmers
would congregate here to see their
cotton sold, receive their money, and
our merchants would compete with
each other for the trade of these"peo-
pie. Our farmers would then get
better prices, and the merchants wo uld
make larger cash sales. This has been
the experience in towns where alliance
warehouses have been established.

ance should waste no time in quibbling
as to the manner of attaining theil
ends. There may be differences OF
opinion but they should be made sec
ondary. The friends of the liquor traf
tic are united to man upon a repeal OF
the present law, though they may be
divided as to its substitute. 1t is i'm.
possible to prOpheSy what will be the
action of legislature this winter. 1t is
to be expected that all republican mem,
bers will stand firmly upon the plat,
form, i'll which case there can be no
danger of repeal, but the election is
held by many to be verdict in favor
of repeal. and good men have declared
it to amount to instructions to legisla,
tors to vote accordingly. In addition
to this temptation the liquor dealers
will be on the ground to offer liberal
inducements for votes. While the pos.
sibility of repeal is remote it behooves
the temperance elements to adhere
closely to their principles, be OH the
alert and make no compromise.

THE state of Iowa by its laws estab,
lished quarantine against traffic in in,
toxicating liquors. But at the points
of quarantine, namely the borders of
the state, are hOrdes of dealers organ
lied fer the purpose of breaking down
that quarantine. The brewers organ
ization, one of the strongest in the
country, is soliciting residents to violate
the law and the common carriers are
abettors of the violations. Senator
Wilson has introduced bill in congress
to restrain common carriers from ship
ping into a state articles which are pro-
hibited by that state This would in a
large measure prove very effectual in
assisting in the enforcement OF the pro
hibitory law in Iowa. but as it is aimed
directly at that law, which has many
enemies in other states we fear that the
national law makers will neglect their
duty to make it law. 1t could work
mo injustice to other states, and is only
an act of justice to the people of Iowa,
but the men who may vote for it will
be considered prohibitiOnists. All may
hope, however, that congress will speed
lily enact into law the bill which Sena-
tor Wilson has introduced.
