Tie Picnic at Mai. Maret's.

The picnic ut Major Maret's, which
came off last Friday, was largely at
tended and was highly enjoyed. The
only thing to mar the occasion was a
slight rain that came up toward the
close of the day, but everybody was
willing to submit to the sailing Of PIC
mic linen for the sake of the parching
crops. The crowd was large as al
ready said-pcrsons coming not only
from every section of the Fork but
from Fair Play, South Union and Cher
ry in Oconee, from Augusta, Atlanta
and from other points.
Shortly before noon Mr.. NJ. G.. Bar
ton, OF Fair Play, upon request, made
short. sensible talk, apropos Of the
occasion. 1t got abroad that the pic
mic was to be in compliment of Major
ana Mrs. Marct, and that no doubt ac-
counted for the large turnout, and for
the liberal support given their dnngh-
tcrs and daughtcrs-in-law-Mrs. J. NJ.

suDstantials and dclicacies OH Il table a
hundred feet long.
Within few feet OF where the table
stood is one of the finest springs in the
conntry-ciear, cool water in abundant
quantity, gushing from fissure in n
large rock, anu this SHUT off the sales of
the vendors of cooling beverages.
III the afternoon the picnickcrs were
treated to some choice music by the
CrOmcr family with the violin, the
mandolin. the guitar and autoharp.
The music made by Mr.. j. J.. Cromer
and his children, Bera G. and Misses
Lizzie and Mamie and little Misses
Florence and Ellen, his nephew, Mr..
Willie CrOmcr, with these instru-
mcnts is remac ckab,y fine.
A hundred yards from the spring is u
pretty plot of ground OF some two
acres, where iifty-seven years ago a
Company Of Volunteer Militia muster
cd and Stacked their thirst at the
spring and at the suffers board. The
Company uniformed in yellow swallow
tailed coats, trimmed in black, black
pants. and black bands adorned with a
tin star, was large one, and with the
late Captain B. F. Dickson as their
commanding officer they were more
than ordinarily proficient in MacomD's
old tactics. 1t is believed that Mr..
James A. CAN'T, of Townville, is the
only survivor Of that Company. Maj.
Maret did not live there tn en- but has
resided there fully forty-fivo years.

Appearances indicate nothing if not
that Senatorial politics is to be the
absorbing topic throughout the next
twelve months in South Carolina. The
action Of the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee in assuming to read
Senator McLaurin out Of the party. but
accentuates this latent tendency of
the average hot-headcd South Caro-
linian to assert his independence and
demand fair play when he feels that
he or his friends are being robbed Of
both. Aside from the Committee 8
right to censurc the course of Senator
McLaurin, Gan act which the Legisla-
ture refused to consider for the reason
that the people themselves should
pass on the actions Of their rcprcsen-
tatives) it would appear that the Com
mittee 'fell down" badly, and in their
desire to bury the Junior Senator,
have unwittingly done him gicater
service than he could have done had
he the direction Of the Committee as
the Senior Senator had. It would
seem that the claims of McLaurin' $
friends that he is daily gaining in
strength were believed by Senator
Tillman or he would never have adopt
ed such open and hazardous warfare
as cloture and exclusion from the peo-
pie in the primary, especially since
we remember his invitation to McLau-
rim to run with him in the primary
for the Senatorship only few weeks
s. ce. If he was good enough to 90
before the people in the primary then,
why not now? is the question thought
full voters will ask themselves. Again.
the Committees action was untimely
in that it was not called together to
consider any question relating to the
Senatorship and the far-fetched, pre-
cipitate resolution but showed the
uneasiness of the ringsters that the
organization was slipping away from
them, and that the exigencies Of the
occasion demanded heroic action.
Hence the whip was brought into az
tion and all weaklings served with no
tice tha! it would be useless to horc
that issues Of progress could ever be
discussed in Democratic primary
But, thank Heaven. the day of the
ringster is past, and no one realizes
this more than the ringster h.mself.
Senator McLaurin is not ruled out #

a most crcdltablc display was made
by the fire laddies in their annual pa-
radc yesterday evening, and to say
that the boys looked handsome in
their bright uniforms and tactfu in
parade but slightly expresses the i'm :
preston made on the admirng throng
who witnessed the Inspection The
races were an exciting feature of the
occasion and elected unboundcd
praise from the enthusiastic spccta-
turs. Anderson people are justly
proud Of her fire fighters, and should
at all times render them such cncour-
agemcnt as may lie in their power to
bcstow.
There is debt Of gratitude due the
old Confederate Veterans which should
weigh upon the hearts of everyone.
They sacrificed everything for their
country cause, aud though it be a
lost cause" their patriotism de-
mands the respect of us all. There
are not many Of them left. They are
rapidly passing away, and if we expect
ever to show our appreciation OF them
it should be done now There will be
meeting held at Pendleton on the
:'rd OF August next looking to the
building Of Soldiers Home. 1t is
not proposed to build this home by
private subscription, but to build it by
appropriation made by the Lcgisla-
cure, which will fall a. a tax upon us
all, and it is to be hoped that the peo-
pie of Anderson County, particularly,
will exhibit such an interest in this
matter on August I'd next as will
stimulate every County in the State
to hold similar meetings, which meet
ings, It is to be hoped, will continue
until our Legislature appropriatcs a
sufficient amount to build home that
will be credit to the State. These
old Veterans are rapidly passing away,
all of them are old, aud the struggle
for bread and meat grows harder and
harder with them each year. Many
are prosperous, but there are others
whose existence requires constant
effort and unceasing toll This home
can be built and the cost would scarce
ly be felt by the taxpayers, and when
these grand men have passed away.
(and it is only question of few
years when they will all be- gomez the
home can easily be sold for as much or
more than it cost. Are our people
willing to sit idle and Indifferent and
see our old Veterans 60 to the poor
house? Yet such is beginning to
transpire. There is to-day in our
poor house one old Veteran who was
gallant soldier and sacrificed every.
thing that we might enjoy the freedom
for which he fought. Let every one
go to Pendleton next Saturday and
hear the eloquent orators who have
been invited to attend.

no The palrons Of our PubIIc School.

To The Patrons Of our Public School.
OF all public institutions there is
none that demands more careful at
tehtion Of the people than the pub
lie schools.
In them the children are pre-
pared for the duties and response
bilities of life, and while it is the
privilege OF but few to attend col
lege and universities, the great ma
jority of the young people receive
their education in the public
schools. For this reason, com.
munity should spare no means to
make them all that could reason
ably BIZ expected of them.
If the school house is inconven.
lie mt or too small, or if the number
of children is too large for the
teaching force, the conditions for
successful and satisfactory work are
unfavorable.
During the past Sc ssion we en-
rolled 1853 pupils, which gave each
teacher an average of 80 pupils and
an average Of l8 Rotations daily.
From the above statements, il
will be seen that each of the three
teachers had in charge q much
larger number Of pupils than
should have been the case. The
consequences was that recitations
had u be short and the teacher
could not give the time and atten-
ton To the individual pnpil which
was necessary TO bring out satistac-
tory results. In order u partly
overcome this difficulty during the
past session. we have given one
hour extra each day, thereby de-
priving teachers and pupils of a
part of the much needed rest which
both deserve after having spent the
usual time in earnest school work.
1t we desire to improve our
schools, ii we love our children ard
are anxious Tor their welfare, it is
our duty to remove the obstacles.
We need another school room and
additional assistance to meet the
continuous growth which our
school is undergoing, and | believe
that it is but necessary for the pee-
plejto realize the need of these im-
proven ents, to secure them and /
earnestly hope that some steps may
be- taken ut once to secure more
room and another teacher in time
for the opening Of the next session
OF school. Respectfully,
