dollars changed hands on the big fight
last Wednesday, but the major part
being on the rounds t'would take John
l.. to s'do his man up" as it were, but
we are glad to note that so far, none
have ATTEMPTED suicide over the cOnse-
quent result, as did two or three in
other parts of the globe. Wien people
will allow themselves to go SO far as
to squander the whole of their worlds
goods on such ethics, 'twere better,
perhaps, for them to resort to some sort
of artificial mode to make room for
those who would keep their heads.

Our second annual labor day picnic,
was celebrated on last Monday in grand
style The weather was all that could
be desired to make the day a pleasant
one in every sense. The trades pro-
cession, though not nearly so large as
last year, was, however, a good sight.
The line was formed at 9:20 o'clock,
headed by the Graniteville brass band,
and then marched to the grounds,
where ranks were broken and every
body was at will to enjoy themselves
as they choosed. By 1890 o'clock the
grounds were filled with sightseers and
others who were anxiously awaiting the
proceeding of the days events. About
the first thing on the programme was
the base ball game between Granite
vile and Bismarck, for purse of so.
The game was poorly contested, on
both sides were seen as poor ball play
ing as ever was put up in this section,
and those who are lovers of the dia-
mond and expected to see a good
and interesting game walked off in dis
gust. In not one instance was there a
feature of interest during the whole of
the game. Score, 25 to 9, in favor OF
Bismarck. The next thing in order
was putting the IA pound shot; Jas.
