" no good reason why one should hap
pen now.
The sun rose bright, but not too
warm, in a blue and cloudless sky on
picnic day. At O'Clock the three
church bells began to ring out in lively
measure the agreed upon assembly call.
Shortly afterward the picnickers began
TO drive up in all sorts Of rigs. There
were empty wagons, into which were
packed baskets and boxes and barrels Of
good things to eat-such good things as
are produced and eaten only in COM
munities like that of which The Hook
was then the central point. There were
elliptic spring democrat wagons and top
buggies and open buggies and market
wagons provided with seats for human
loads that We're that day to take the
place Of loads of small fruits designed
for the city markets There were farm
wagons - lumber wagons the people
termed them -that had been fitted out
with picnic racks that would carry 40
or 80 persons each for the conveyance
of those who had no other way to 90 CT
preferred riding in loads to going in
their own family vehicles. These
loads were drawn by four horse teams,
managed by the best young men drivers
in the neighborhood, and right proudly
did these chaps handle the ribbons
One Of the loads was made up of young
women clad all in white, with patriotic
red and blue sashes.
Promptly at $50 the start was made
from each church, and a little out Of
the village the procession took orderly
form, the Methodists leading, because it
was their year. White whiskered Uni
versalist Captain Ferguson, who had
served CALAMITY in the war and had
been mounted marshal every year since
the union plan had been IN force, had
charge as usual He had two assistants
on horseback for each school, and there
were fifers and drummers scattered at
intervals among the wagons. The lead
ing load Of each school supported a
pole from which foated the national
flag, and each displayed it's own banners
besides When everything was in order,
at $3.50, the procession moved Then it
was seen that the line was almost two
miles long, and that the attendance was
larger than it had ever been before.
Gayly, with flies screeching, drums
beating and colors flying, the picnickers
drove over the hard summer roads to
the falls. Here and there the holiday
parade was joined by buggies, wherein
sat lovesick farmer SWANS and blushing
rural bellies Before noon the grounds
were reached, the horses were tethered
and preparations were made to feed the
multitude. 1t was the older men and
women who engaged in these homely
duties, of course. Some Of the younger
ones climbed down the 1. 500 steps that
led to the bottom of the gorge, where the
little stream whose drop Of nearly eco

REPORTS of the satisfaction with which
the news of the passage Of the
tariff bill is received in England and
Canada, probably should be received
with reasonable degree of allowance
It must be that such reports are largely
untrue or else the people of those coun-
tries are very short sighted 1t is APP
parent that one country cannot maintain
superior trade advantages over another
without impoverishing the country which
is placed at a disadvantage. In order
that England or Canada should sell
goods to the people of the United States,
the latter must have the money with
which to buy. If the people Of this
country buy what they use from foreign
ers it naturally follows that they can sell
nothing themselves, consequently it
could not be long until they would have
nothing with which to continue their
purchases. Then what would become Of
the people who are said to be deriving
so much satisfaction from the passage of
the tariff bill.

It ia with great pleasure that we notice
the defeat of the brigand kcl1, who was
. candidate for governor Of Alabama Ii
may be that he was defeated by another
briRand; but Kolb was, ia the past, one
OF the n1sansst and most unscrupulous
of bulldOzGrs and ''had 3 niggor Tor
breakfast" every morning during q cam
paiRn. He left the regular Democratic
party and has for some years been try
ing to get Office as 3 Populist The
Democrats used the same machinery to
defeat him that he used as q Democrat
to defeat Republicans, and, oh, how hO
does squeal! A Democrat is u better,
more honest man, any day, than a Pop.
and we cannot sym pathize just little
bit with the Alabama Popa-Sedan
Times-Star.
This is too bad, and from a good Re-
publican paper, too; because nearly every
white Republican in Alabama voted for
KOlb, and they are now organizing into
Honest Election Leagues" to see that
KoIb il seated Kolb also had the moral
and financial support Of SsnatOr Hoar
OF Massachusetts and every other north
ern Republican senator and representa-
tive. The fight made by the Kolbites +, r
honest elections in the south is endorsed
and backed up by Republicans AL over the
United States. True holb, once belonged
to the corrupt Democratic gang now
running Alabama, but he ought to be
given credit for coming out against the
outfit A single instance Of Democratic
vilIainy is shown by the vote IN LOwndes
county which only has $500 registered
voters, but gave majority Of 5000 for
Oates, the Democratic candidate. Men
who wouldn't fight to keep such scoun-
drel out Of the gubernatorial chair do
not deserve the rights Of free American
citizens. We believe when the KOlbites
show that they are not to be deprived Of
their rights by fraud, the Democrats will
run; if they don't some of them are like
ly to get killed

where Susie stood blushing and smiling
and waiting Not 20 feet behind the
buggy yawned the gorge with its 200
feet of sheer abyss An impish young
ster who had saved one firecracker from
the Fourth of July and had been wait
ing for a good time to fire it put a
match to the little fuse. Then he threw
it, Kissing and splitting, in front Of the
prancing horse. The animal reared and
backed frantically, the wheels struck the
light railing at the edge of the gorge
and broke through. An instant the
buggy toppled on the brink, and then
all went crashing to the bottom-that
is, all but Team. He thought at first
that he could control the horse, bat at
the last moment he gave it up and
jumped in time to save himself. The
wreck of tbs horse and buggy was indie
scribable.
Tt was many years after that before
The Hook again picnicked at the falls,
if indeed it ever has. The shock suffered
by the inhabitants of the entire region
was intense, and of all the sufferers the
lad who threw the frecracker probably
suffered most for he was soundly
spanked on the spot although really
quite enough punished by his momen-
tary fear that he had killed Tom Rey-
nolds.
Tom and Susie were married before
the next picnic day.

school had picnicked by itself, but the
Hberalfzing tendencies of the age had
caused a low ering of the denominational
bars, so far as recreation was concerned,
some years before. The result had been
so good the first time the union plan
was tried that the next year each Of the
three preachers, two or three weeks be-
fore the outing, stated from his pulpit
after the sermon that all who desired
to enjoy the picnic were cordially invited
to do 50 whether they attended any Of
the churches or Sunday schools or not.
This took in the remnants of the Uni
versalist church, which had once been q
considerable factor, but had gradually
declined as the working creeds of the
three more fervid evangelical churches
had grown more liberal. The preachers
added to their invitations and quite
properly, that. since all who attended
would expect to eat, it was desired that
each family or couple accepting the in
vitatiOn should bring a cake, or a
chicken, or some other edible.
In order to avoid any possible fric-
ton as to location it was agreed when
the union plan was adopted that the
schools should decide in rotation where
the day. outing should be- Of the three
available grounds the Baptists were
wont to choose Deacon Aliens grove,

and because the grove was not more
than two miles from The Hook, and from
its easy sloping reaches FREQ from under

Crystal lake, a little pond some 10 miles
away, where there were better picnic
conveniences in the way of permanent
seats and tables than at the deacon's
grove, while the Methodists always gave
their voice for Buttermilk falls, also
good 10 miles distant, where Deans
creek dropped sheer $50 feet into
gorge that had been worn by the waters
in the limestone that underlies all that
region There were those among the
older members of all the churches and
Sunday schools that always mildly OPP
posed either the lake or the falls They
admitted that the cataract was undenia-
bly, picturesque, and that the tables and
seats at the lake were far superior to
those at the deacon's grove But, they
said, soOnOz or later, some one was pref
ty certain to pay a dreadful price for
these attractions. The placid lake, they
declared, was as treacherous as it was
beautiful, and the fate of whoever
should some day fall from the brink Of
the 200 feet deep gorge into which the
falls plunged would be too horrible to
think about In spite of all, the younger
folks continued to vote for the falls or
the lake, and one of these places was
chosen two out of every three years, till

ing following there was a meeting Of
the three superintendents and the picnic
commit tees of the schools at the Presby-
terrain session house. It was then voted
to have martial music. to display more
bunting than usual, and in other ways
to devote more money and attention to
the picnic than had ever been done be-
fore. There were no serious objections
to this plan, nor was there much Of the
usual talk against the falls as = picnic
site. The farmers were making money,
for crops and prices had been good for
several years, most men had their places
paid for, some Of them had money IN
bank, and why shouldn't they devote a
little Of it to having q good time one
day in the year? There never had been
an accident at the falls. There was real
