FROM BATESBURG
TO WAGNER
Via All Kinds Of Cross
Country Cuts--A
Pleasant Trip.
BY THE CID MAN. |

Saturday was not day that one
would have selected for making a cross
country pleasure trip from Batesburg
to Wagner, aud If it had not been one
OF business the writer would never
have undertaken the journey. But
we are eXcusable for ever letting
thought like the above enter GU, mind,
Us 1t had never been our fortune to
have gone that way before. The peo-
pie We met were joyInl, happy and as
hospitable rs could De. From the
starting point TO the end OF the trip
"a snffn tia YeEs hsd PIT ttss Ssa hit& urrs .va s
golden" staple laying out as kind
of "tantaiiZer" to the man who might
\ own railroad or mining stocks. A
president o. bank at the present
writing may we'll envy the man with
few bales of cotton. After a cold
drive of sikt0cn miles we stopped for
dinner at Mcssrs Compton and Ocie
Lybrands, near Sardis church, and
such dinner. There was no time to
prepare special rs we caught them
in the act of partaking of the midday
meal-and such n dinner it was. To
| tell the truth, We didn't know whether
! our newly made friends would make
an assignment rs result of our dining
or not, but we do know that we staId
at that table quite while and when
. we left il looked as if il had never been
; touched. After tAkiHg leave of these
! good people we went on towards our
| destination, nine i5ileS distant, arriy-
! ing there about o'clock we found the
town crowded and all the merchants
were apparently doing good business.
! Wagner, i a diSpcnsary town apd that
Institution was doing, 10 all appear
ancc, 4 rushing business. Not an in
| toXicated man was seen the entire
| evening and everything was perfectly
calm. In conversation with one Of the
| eadine merchants at the close Of the
| days bdSiuess We found that the days
s,les of his establishment exceeded
500, which peaks well for the amount
OF bu.iu,s, jare, $ there are six or
seven other business houses in the
place all hryiug good trade. We met
Editor CooIer, Cf the EdiSto Record,
who has been holding the fort at
Wagner and working for n new county
for about a year. We visited his shack
and fonnd him doing well. He doesn't {
look Is If .ue 1Old people OF Aiken
county were letting him pcriSh--for
which he should be thankful We
suppei AID spent the night with Mr..
- Iybraat, and after pIrtaking Of
a good Breakfast we began TO back
track - but got 10 further than Sardis
again, where we stopped ard attended
church. The Rev Holly preached an
excellent sermon 10 large congre-
gatio@. After SeTvi .eS were over and
another mea! had been laid away we
continued ON the hJmcward journey,
tie weather being much pleasaDter
than cn the previous day. We reached
home in good ;hipe, top side up will

Some four years ago the two men

For the most part, the stock was owned BY

The chief promoter and most of his political

Those who were caught, says Mrs. Hamilton,
were clerks and stenographers, fully one-half
being girls, many Of whom were employed at
the statehouse. The Li1oolet fever developed
among them while the legislature was in session
last spring and induced them to invest all their

Red Lodge, Mont, Oct. IA sensation was

State Senator Meyers, the leader of the ,repub-

young woman on the public streets, selling and
embracing her despite her screams.
The affair has resulted in upheaval In re-

senate Will be demanded. ,.,-- ...,. ..s,
County Attorney L. o. Caswell, who is a

NEW ULM REACHES
SEMICENTENNIAL
ONLY FOUR OF THE ORIGINAL
COLONISTS LEFT.
Founded by the Turner's, It's History Is
Unlike that Of Other Northwestern
Cities in Many Respects-Celebra-

Special to The Journal,

Special to The Journal.
New Ulm, Mimi, Oct. Just fifty years ago
today there arrived where this city now stands
q party Of twenty persons sent out from Chi
cago to locate place for u colony These
were the pioneer settlers of the city of New
Ulm, and of their number four only remain
and living in the city. They Mrs
Athanasius Henle, Alois Palmer, Peter Mack and
III. Wall. The Junior Pioneers have arranged a
celebration of the semicentennial, and there is
being held in the Turner theater a banquet at
which there are assembled all persons who have
resided here previous to 1862.
4 New Ulm has history unlike that of any
other city in the state. 1t was founded by the
Turner society, which has been the controlling
element in its affairs until u very short time
ago. Instead Of the erection of house Of
worship, as Is the custom of most pioneers, they
built capacious hall for the practice of gym
nastics and literary entertainments and devoted
themselves to this. There were two societies
here. one from Chicago, which came here in
1854, and one from Cincinnati, which came the
year following The latter headed by
William Pfaender who has since figured in the
affairs Of the state, being state senator and
FOR two terms state treasurer, and 1t was thru
his influence that the two societies were united
and the Influx of German Turner immigration
diverted to the city.
1t Is significant that there are more of the
original settlers of this city here than will be
found In any Of the other cities of the state
Most of them made their money here and reared
families which in turn have remained to carry
on the work of their fathers. Frugal and per-
severing, 1t will be found that more people own
their own homes here than in most places and
this is due to the lessons that We're learned In
the stern school of adversely thru which these
old people have passed to the present
The fifty years that have passed have brought
TO this place reputation that is wide almost
as that of Minneapolis and st. Paul. There is
Kind of fraternity here that attracts and
whenever there Is excursion to the place 1t
Is hard to keep the people away. The city itself
