ANNOYED at the Courier-JourDalf for having
hastily taken ground against Cleveland.
The Judge said If Cleveland was nominated
he would not vote at all, and the other two
said either GRAY or Governor BoIes. of
Iowa, must be nominated. as defeat was
certain with Cleveland on account of his
silver views. From their talk 1t would
seem that Kentucky and Tennessee Democ-

man was at the Fifth-avenue Hotel yester-

man said, "as if the candidates of 1883
would be the candidates Of lSS2-Cleveland
and Harrison"
What impression has Senator Hill made
in the Ser atel" he was asked.
He has made none. for he has SAID
nothing yet" replied Mr.. Sherman. 1T is
not an unusual thing. however. for q new
Senator to take little or no part In debate"
viii the silver question come before the
Senate again.
ator Morgan's resolution Is now on the cal
endar It must take its course, unless il be
called mp out of order. To do this would
require vote. which would be practically
q test on the main question and a vote on
q motion of this nature would be satisfac-
tory to u.s. The friends of free silver, how
ever will not be satisfied with a vote of
that kind. but insist on o vote on the d.
rect question"
Would free silver measure pass the
Senstes"
1.-THE Senators do not tell each other how
they are going to vote. Many would like
to know, for instance. which way Senator
Hill will vote" replied Mr. Sherman.

a party of our young people attended
the picnic at Shelor's ferry last Satur-
day. We crossed into Georgia and there
witnessed the gay crowd who had assem-
bled on the banks of the Tugaloo. Some
were fishing in the water. others on dry
land. Don't think either side met with
great success. Dinner was announced
and all fastened to partake of the boun-
tiful repast. We were all enjoying the
dinner heartily. when down came the
rain in torrents. There was a rush
among the crowd, all eager to seek shell
ter. Notwithstanding all this there was
a calm after the storm, and several were
heard to exclaim: Lets have another
picnic at Shelor's ferry" Il. A. f.

The Georgia and Carolina Picnic.
Correspondence KEowEE COURIER

TUGALoo, 5. c., June 20, 1892.
The picnic at Shelor's ferry, gotten up
by Miss Maggie Sheldon, of Tugaloo, and
Mr.. A. J. Marett, of Layonia, came OFF on
the 18th instant. From early morn until
noon crowds from different directions
came hurrying to the picnic ground,
knowing they had only to get there for a
good time, and surely this was true.
Each person seemed to have taken the
responsibility of entertaining. conse-
quently all were highly entertained.
Fishing was a popular amusement, both
in the waters of the Tngaloo and on
Georgia's rich soil. We think more fish
were caught on land than in the water.
At Y O clock the fair ladies exchanged a
few words and soon all were busy spread
ing a most elegant dinner. All substan-
tials as well as delicacies were found on
this well filled table. The rain interfered
somewhat with the afternoons enjoy
ment. but Notwithstanding this we pro
nounce the picnic a grand success and
are under obligation to Miss Maggie and
Mr.. Marett for a splendid days fun. We
rarely meet with such a social, nice
crowd on a picnic day. While quite a
number were strangers all seemed as old
friends. We were only too sorry when
the time came for us to bid our friends
adieu, but this world is not made up Of
all pleasure, and with a sad heart we
turned our faces toward Carolina, hoping
soon TO meet our Georgia friends again
at another picnic.

There is something wonderful about
proper names. Did you ever think Of
your own name until it seemed a non
entitys I heard a very simple explana-
ton ot many of the Christian names. l
will submit but a few examples and you
can pursue the investigation to your own
satisfaction. Formerly everybody was
named Smith, and so there were David,
Jack, James, Thomas, John, Robert,
William and on as long as they could get
any names, and then the next generation
added son to these names, and so they
had Davidson, which was David Smiths
son, and SO for the rest which you can
form for yourself to a vast number. If
you have a better theory of etymology
please give it to us.
