We haven't heard of the general
proceedings.
We had the pleasure of attend
ing the closing exercises of the
Emory High School, which would
have been a great qualification to
any one to have done. The pro-
gramme consisted of speeches, dia-
logues, essays, and music, which
gave only soupcon of results Of
the school. The vocal music just
relegated everything to the rear
but ecstacy. The surprising thing
of all was that the girls beat the
boys on every hand.
The last and next to the best
thing was a debate. The subject
was: (which is the more favor
able to an education, the country
school or the city school, The
affirmative was defended by Messrs.
w. w. Rodgers and H. E. Unger.
and the negative by Messrs. Jas.

decision was in favor of the affir-
native, but we think both sides
deserved success.

The Charleston Excursion.

By ]. Frank Fair of the Edgefeld High School
Some setting up nearly all night,
some walking the streets, some de-
pending on their alarm clocks, and
some few asleep was the condition
of our town and surrounding coun-
try on Monday night the 23rd of
May. But about three o'clock on
Tuesday morning everybody crowd
ed to the Edgefeld depot to go
down to Charleston OH the much
talked of excursion.
This was gotten up by the Y. M.
C. A., of this place for their special
benefit. 1t left Edgefeld at FIVE
o'clock with about two hundred
and fifty passengers yelling at the
top of their voices. In q few
minutes we reached Trenton where
our crowd was increased by nearly
seventy-fve, then picking up few
along the road until we reached
Aiken, our crowd was again in
creased by fifty or sixty of The
Aiken people. In few minutes
we net out Oh the old South Caro-
lima railroad to Charleston.
We had u short but pleasantride
before we reached Branchville q
beautiful town at the junction of
the 8 C's (Charleston, Cincinnati,
and Chicago) and the South Caro-
lima railroad.
The next place of any impor-
tance.was new Denmark, situated
at the junction of the South Caro-
lima and South Bound railroad.
This place we shall always remem7

then the train started off and the
two had quite race but sscuffy"
got left without his nick.
We reached Charleston about
eleven a. m., and then took street
cars and went down to the wharf,
there securing steamer we struck
out for the islands.
We went out by Fort Sumter
which is about four miles from the
city. This fort is where the first
gun of the late war was fired and
is now a very strong fort: Thence
we went over to Sullivan's Island.
This is a famous summer resort
and is noted for it's beautiful
beach. We got to see Fort Moultre
which is on this island and also
the grave of the great Indian chief
Osceolla who died through grief,
being confined in one Of the cells
of this fort as a prisoner. In this
fort there are cells resembling
those of a jail, and here many old
pieces of iron and bottles and stoves
may be found. One of our boys,
being "kinder green," asked his
escort if they shot those bottles and
stoves in the cannons, which were
placed abont twenty steps behind
the fort amid thousands of balls,
but he was not much pleased with
his answer. Then going up OH top
of the fort wo looked, at the sea
and the beach. 1t was a beautiful
sight to see the waves coming in
and about two hundred people on
the sea shore rambling about in
the beautiful sand hunting shells.
Leaving this, island we boarded
our steamer and set out for the
city, but while on the way some of
our crowd not being used to the
water and the sea breeze lost their
hats. After a very pleasant ride
OH the waters we reached the city.
Then going down Meeting Street
we reached the Battery which pro-
badly with it's beautiful palmetto
and other trees and monuments
and pretty buildings i'll front is one
of the prettiest places of Charles
ton. We then took street cars and
going up Meeting Street saw the
great Charleston Hotel which is
the finest in the city, with its enor-
nous pillars nearly twenty feet in
circumference. Then up King
Street to the depot, where we ate,
drank, and talked until 7:3o. Then
the train started off for Edgefeld.
After each oae had told what he
had seen and the boys had finished
making love to their girls, nearly
everybody went to- sleep, having
lost SO much the night before, and
those who were not asleep were.

Fine Crops In Beech Island--A
Letter From "Winker."

Mr.. EDITOR: Never seeing any
news from this part of the State
in your widely circulated paper, l
will attempt to give you a few
dots:
The farmers in this section have
the finest crops of both cotton and
corn seen in many years; the cot!
ton will average d feet, where it
has been we'll tended and manur-
ed, and is full of squares now.
The corn in the swamp is beauti-
full, about waist high, and looks as
black as any Edgefeld crow.
Mr.. L. III. Hankinson has the
finest melon crop to be seen
about one hundred and fifty acres
and they ARE tapping now and
full of young melons. He expects
to make his first shipment about
the first of July.
Next Saturday being the second
Saturday, the Beech Island Farm
ers' Club will give their monthly
barbecue. Wish, Mr.. Editor, you
could be here to help pull some of
that fine pork and hash.
The ladies of the Baptist church
gave a lawn party in the beautiful
grove in front of Mr.. VIM, Pan
tons on last Saturday the 9th.
Ice cream, cake, lemon sherbert,
and all other nice delicacies that
were possible to be prepared by the
fair ones, were served and quite a
nice sum realized.

Ridge and Monetta Happenings

badly washed. Cotton looks sick

squares and "fourishing like a
green bay tree" it is struggling to
hold up its head with two or three
leaves only. Corn looks tolerably
well though the crop generally is
backward. Peaches are being ship
| ped to the front however. From
Ridge Spring, on Saturday, over
900 crates, and from Monetta some
three or four hundred crates were
shipped north. Prices have, how
ever, dropped notch or two.
Several Ridge farmers are Crap

spring. Mr.. T. S. Williams has
set out quite an area in tobacco,
and Captain Jas. Boatwright has a
small patch of the weed. There
are others also whose names | fail

as standing first among illustrated

less timely monthly magazine. 1t in
cludes both literature and news, and
presents with equal force and felicity
the real events Of current history and
the imaginative themes Of fiction. On
account of its very complete series Of
illustrations of the Worlds Fair, it
will be not only the best guide to the
great Exposition, but also its best
Souvenir. Every public event of gen
eral interest will be fully illustrated
in its pages. Its contributions being
from the best writer's and artists in
this country, it will continue to excel
in literature, news, and illustrations,
all other publications of its class.
