THE NEW COUNTY SCHEME.

There is project or scheme on
foot, as will be seen from a notice
published elsewhere in this issue, to
cut eff portions of Lexington, Or
angeburg and Aiken and form new
county across North Edisto. We are
reliably informed that our citizens
residing in the territory embraced
in the proposed new county are al
most unanimously, and the majority
of them bitterly, opposed to being
cut off from Lexington.
We should regret to have the good
citizens of that section cut off from
us for many reasons: yet it will de-
pend on their efforts to thwart the
scheme by petitioning the Legisla-
ture against the change and inform
ing those who are not. acquainted
with the conditions Of the situation.
All kinds of bats in the way of in
ducements will doubtless be thrown
out by some prominent town desiring
the location of the court house, but
we can assure our people that their
taxes will be increased, not only for
one year, but from year to year.
Small counties will require the same
number of officers, court expenses
will be nearly the same and in almost
every instance it will be found actu-
ally necessary to have the same ex-
pense for the government Of small
counties as it requires fordarge ones,
The only argument in favor OF small
counties is convenience. There are

The Four tn Annual Picnic Of the
Peak Guards.
To the Editor of the DisDatch:

lO Tie GulIOi VI Lue DlSpdLCu:
On the fourth Saturday in August,
the regular annual picnic of the Peak
Guards was given on the grounds
formerly used for the same purpose
at the residence Of Mr.. Henry Sum
mer about two miles south of Peak.
The company having previously
assembled in the armory at Peak to
the number of 80 men arrived on the
grounds about II o'clock, and pre-
ceeded at once to drill and maneuver
for the benefit of the spectators
which was estimated at about $50
in number. Some of the new com
panies that sprang into existence
Immediately after the Darlington
riot were invited to be present and
some folks were disappointed in not
seeing them there. The Peak
Guards however were easily capable
of doing their own drilling in a man
ner satisfactory to their own officers
if not to some others their present
The spectators with the exception of
few would be military critics were
outspoken in their praises of the
soldierly bearing and drilling quail
ties of both officers and men. The
new uniforms and helmets of the
company are quite snowy and is a
remarkable improvement over the
old equipments.
The company is thoroughly orga
nized and equipped at present and is
an organization Of which all of its
members may well feel proud.
At 1890 o'clock dinner was an
nounced by veteran member who
cordially invited all to partake of the
bountiful feast which was spread be-
fore them. A larger number of
ladies (some lovely ones too) were
present on this occasion than at any
previous picnic which ought to be a
source of great pleasure to all of the
members who looked with a single
eye on those prettie creatures who
rule over us by the divine right of
love and whose ornamental presence
are about the only sunshine of many
a young mans heart.
The time was past very pleas
antly by all present, most of the
young people engaging throughout
the day in dancing and other inno-
cent amuSements.
1t is hoped by all interested in the
welfare of the company that each
and every member will take more
pride and interest in the organiza-
ton from now on than they have in
the past, and make it as it deserves
to be one of the fnestmilitary orders
in the State. The Captain and other
officers deserve great credit for the
present high state Of efficiency in
which they have placed the COM
pany and if all the men will copper
ate with them they cannot FINALLY
fail to succeed. CITI2EN.

Home and Abroad.

It is the duty Of everyone, whether
at home or travelling for pleasure OF
business, to equip himself with the
remedy which will keep up strength
and prevent illness, and cure such
ills as are liable to come upon all in
every day life. For instance, Hoods
Sarsaparilla as a general tonic, and
to keep the blood pure and less liza.
bic to absorb the germs Of disease,
will be we'll nigh invaluable. Change
of drinking water often causes seri-
Gus trouble, especially if one has
been used to spring water in the
country. From a few drops to a
teaspoonful Of Hoods Sarsaparilla in
a tumbler of water will prevent the
water having any injurious effect.
Hoods Vegetable Pills, as a ca
thartic, cause no discomfort, no dis
turbance, no loss of sleep, but assist
the digestive organs, so that satisfac
tory results are effected in a natural
and regular manner. ~.
