The Moon is becoming ambitious.
It already governs the tides and now
it has entered politics and wishes to
govern the people of South Carolina.
The rays of the sun grow dim as that
luminary nears the evening horizon of
late.
The protracted meeting at st. Phil
lips closed last Thursday at moor, hsv-
ing lasted five days with two services
each day. Rev. J. H. Wyse preached
the morning sermon on Wednesday,
which was only help Rev. Bowles had.
There were twenty combinations. At
the meeting Rev. Bowles announced
among other things that an effort
would be made to organize Young
Peoples Christian Endeavor Society as
soon as possible; that after services on
the next preaching day (Septembsr 9th,
p. M steps would be taken to find out
if sufficient number would join be-
fore attempting to organize.
Our friend "Alpha" of the "Voice"
had the honor of extending to us
kind invitation to accept seat in his
buggy last Saturday morning, which
Invitation we readily accepted, and
soon found ourself on the way to the
Sunday-school picnic at Bethlehem.
Arriving on time we entered the church
where we listened with pleasure to the
sweet songs of praise, followed by
Scripture lesson and prayer by the pas
tor, and next to an excellent address
by 6. B. Cromer, Esq. Subject, The
unselfsh boy and the unseifsh girl.
The congregation was then dismissed,
when the undersigned, yielding to
some powerful influence, possibly in
stinct or foreknowledge that well-filled
baskets were near at haDd, soon found
himself in the grove and standing near,
yes, very near, table spread on the
fresh green grass and laden both in
quantity and quality with every "eata-
BILE" that makes picnics enjoyable, and
to which every body was kindly invited
to partake. After dinner the young
folks took charge of afairs-their own
affairs, of course-and managed them
according to their several interests.
That is our conclusion, at least.
The election is over, and with few
exceptions those candidates who were
in are still in and those who were out
are still out. It's a strange fact that
men who claim to be Reformers "to
the core" will cast their vote and use
their influence in favor of candidates
who represent principles entirely det-
rinental to the interests of Reform
when they have candidates in the field
who are Reformers ito the CORE" also,
and who advocate and uphold the
principles or measures on which Re-
form is based. Yet we hear this same
class of Reformers pleading for ''meas-
ures and not maa.a." Do they expect to
successfully carry out Reform meas
ures by supporting anti-Reform candi-
dates? If they are in ;erested in Re-
form and desire to make it e success
they should support only true blue
Refornlers from Governor down to
Coroner who advocate Reform meas
ures and who will stand by them in
the face Of all opposition.
Mr.. @. NJ. Kinard worked his section
Of road last Thursday afternoon and
Friday following. Now its real nice
to talk and write and 60 about making
speeches on having good roads and all
that sort of thing, but when one has to
pick up his shovel and help to "round
them up in the middle' it's not 80 very
nice. But then good roads are abso-
lutely necessary and we must have
them. JOSH TRUMP
