The Picnic at Cold Springs.

The annual picnic at Cold Springs was this
year Que Of the most enjoyable. About eight
hundred or more people assembled there last
Friday, August 18th. and all on pleasure bent.
There was a refreshing absence OF popped up
speeches. The day was given over 10 service
OF the "love god". who in glance and smile
and touch Of the dainty hand, thrilled young
hearts and set them in unisoL for the mating
day. The older and more sedate looked on
and listened TO the merry music OF voices,
with now n then q thought of when they
too forgot the world in the dreamy land OF
love. Occasionally they looked wise as II 10
imply there were some stern realities that
Cupid did not tak @ into his calculation. But
why inform oblivous youth? The rainbow
Is no less beautiful because II 10 set In clouds.
Well, to get back to more material matters.
Cold Springs is an ideal place for a picnic.
The place is surrounded by people whose hos
pitality Is unbounded, and q better dinner
was never served than that enjoyed by the
pioneers Friday. A bold spring of the cold
est water that ever gushed from natures
bosom refreshed the croWd. Nothing con-
trib utes more to the pleasure OF a picnic than
good water easily accessible, a fact that is too
often overlooked in selecting picnioing sites.
II the Cold Springs people will repeat their
entertainment next year, we will promise all
to be present and TO bring our friends.

Testing Home Remedies.

Rein ed caster oil, applied to a corn
or wart on absorbent cotton once a
day for some time will surely remove
them.
For soft corns between the toes, or
for bunions, paint with iodine. This
will take the Oreness out Of them.
An excellent external application
for treating colds is made of five ounces
of gum camphor dissolved in one pint
of coal oil, and then add half a pint
of god olive oil. Rub parts affected.
To cause quick perspiration, put
one teaspoonfuls of alcohol into twelve
teaspoonful Of water. Dose: n tea
spoonful every fifteen or twenty min
utes until the desired effect is secur-
ed.
For bruises servere cuts, barb-wire
liberation or rusty nail wounds, place
bits of wool or wooden cloth on live
GOALS and hold the smoke Of this un-
til the pain is relieved. This will
prevent blood poisoning.
A very valuable remedy for watery
eyes, or for tried, intlamed eyes,
suffering from strain; make q solu-
ton of two grains sulphate of zinc,
ten drops Of tincture of opium, and
two ounces Of rosewater. This will
cost about twenty cents, and will
last q long time. Put several drops
into the eyes two or three times a
day. The lids should be lifted that
the solution may reach the muscles
of the eye ball. This recipe Is from
a very successful oculist.
Raw potato peeling burned in the
stove will clear the under parts and
the chimney Of SCOT.
To prevent the accumulation Of SCOT
In the chimney, make q brine of COM
mon salt, pour it owe small coal and
halfburnt cinders and burn this with
the fuel. The cause Of liquid soot
which 80 often streaks the walls where
wood is used for fuel is caused by the
steam from the wood wetting the SCOT
in the chimney and draining through
the tapping of the joints of the pipe,
and out of the chimney hole.

The Real Estate Whirlwind.

Not In the history OF the city has there been
such trading in real estate as has been III the
last month.
Unprecedented prices have been paid for
land and lots in and near the city.
There are some who think land and lots
heresbouts are above par; the fact Is, how
ever, real estate has been below pal here ior a
long time. Those who think that LAM 10 LOO
high lew not been keeping pace with the
times.
Abbeville Is growing, and has been growing
steadily for years..
The demand Tor houses Is unprecedented.
When the Seaboard shops were brought back
we did not have houses TO accommodate OPP
~eratives who came with them, ana Inc con-
tinued building OF houses since ma Time has
not yet supplied the increased demand.
No town In upper Carolina has better back
ing thar has Abfeville. Real estate is higher
in some counties than here, but that does mol
argue that real estate is worth more.
Our Ian in the county Is below par!
Five years from now, II nothing unprece-
dented happens, lam in Abbevilie, IN tne
lower part especially. will be worth twice as
much as 1t 10 to-day.
Tn South has been struggling since 1865 as
no other land has struggled, and now we are
beginning TO zee light.
The South started on its new era when Lee
surrendered, and the years OF diligent appll'
cation and unremitted toll are at last begin
Mug to tell, We were bankrupt and without
credit, disheartened and almost without
no pc, but now we have about served our ap-
premiership in this poverty grind, and q
bett er day is just ahead.
This is the reason We are prosperous. We
are just beginning TO make for ourselves q
credit in the money marts. We have the
resources, resources unparalleled. An acre
of Abbeville County grit is the most omnif.
erous, fruitful. flexible, delectable dirt to be
found between the poles, and people are
finding 1t out.
Abbevills's geographical conditions are also
a factor in the high price OF lots. Situated on
q ridge, as 1t is, building lots are hard TO find
without the expense OF grading.

His afflictiOn haffled the skill Of the physicians and the Hot Springs waters and other treatments were unavailing.
 He took a lively interest in po!l- tics and rarely missed attending a Democratic political convention or a session of the legislature. He was at one time a candidate for com missioner of mines, manufacture and agriculture. After the loss of his health Mr. McHenry and his wife removed to Fl Dorado, where the family has relatives.

Y JEALOUS, HE CUT
 HIS WIPES THROAT
Mrs. \, 0. Ghelst0n of Ft. Smith Slain by Her Husband, Who Ac- cused Her of Being Un-
 faithful.

Fort Smith, July 17.-ln a fit of jealous rage last night about 1O:- 30 o'clock, A. O. Gholston cut his wife's throat with jack knife, the wounds causing almost instant death. He was in an intoxicated con- dition, it is claimed, and accused his wife of being fickle. He declared he saw her kissing man a hallway.
 The Gholstons operated room- ing house over a saloon. Gholston was seen to go up the steps and in few minutes the screaming Of a woman was heard. People in the street rushed up to see whaat the was and found, it is alleged, Ghols- ton in the act of driving the knife into the throat of his wife.
 Deputy Constable c. F. Jones was called. He drove Gholston into corner and kept him at bay until other officers arrived. On the way to the jail the officers declare Gholston bragged about his deed.
 While the officers were caring for Gholston, physicians were summon ed to try to to save the lie of his wife. She died, however, in a pool of blood before the physicians ar rived.
