sold at auction, and the proceeds, which
she says will not fall under $3.50, 900,

her constitution wonderfully strong.

At THE BATTLE-GROUND.

The annual picnic of the Antioch band,
at Kings Mountain battle-ground, last
Saturday, was attended by perhaps 500
people, and the day was most enjoyable
one.
The speaker of the occasion was D. E.
Finley, Esq. He gave the picknickers
all elaborate story Of the battle of Kings
Mountain and also more or less politics.
He said that Tillman and McLaurin were
right in the position they had taken in
the senate with regard to free bagging
and ties, the duty on monaZite, and other
matters. The tariff question, he told
them, was business rather than senti-
mental matter. The Republicans had all
along been managing things so as to take
every possible advantage Of the south,
and now it behooved the people Of this
section to make a long and strong de-
mand for the equal distribution of both
the benefits and the burdens Of taxation.
There was no especial demonstration
during the speech but from the close at
tention given to the speaker, and from
numerous individual expressions after
ward, it was clear that the people were
practically unanimous in the endorse
ment of all that Mr.. Finley said.
The speaking took place at the foot OF
the hill near the old soapstone monument.
The picnickers had plenty of good things
to eat, nothing occurred to mar the pleas
ure of the occasion, and there was a
pretty general mental resolve that the
next annual picnic shall be even more
successful than this.
