quiet for while, but just few dots
for The Herald this week for a
change.
s'Old Timer" is just home from 9
trip to Georgia. A business trip he
says, but I fear he was anticipating
some pleasure along with his busi-
ness, for he wore off too big a smile
for all to be business. We haven't
heard from him yet since his return,
but we are expecting him to give us
a few dots next week on the social
and business life in Georgia at pres
ent.
Miss Nell Kearse returned home
Friday from a few days visit at the
home of Miss Essie Williams at Es-
till.
Mrs. Manning Johnson, of Ellen
ton, is visiting her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. L. A. Brabham.
One of the most enjoyable picnics
of the season was the one given in
honor of Miss Jones, of Newberry, on
the banks of old Saltkehatchie last
Friday. There were only few pres
ent, we may say about thirty IN
number, but should you take the fuss
and merriment into consideration,
you may double that number. A
bountiful dinner was spread about l
O'Clock under the oaks on the ground
and due respect paid same by the
jolly crowd whose appetites had been
sharpened by considerable exercise.
The Kearse local band furnished us
some splendid music in the after
noon, which added more pleasure to
the occasion. Now for the stream
for a swim, dive, and we might say,
a "sink," as most of the participants
were professionals at the business.
There is always too much to be seen
on the bottom for ''Three Mile Creek"
swimmers to spend all their time on
top of the water. HE who seeks
pearls must dive below"
Next came the ice cream, cake,
Next came ice cream, >cake, peach
es, plums, apples, and water melons.
My, what feast! One of the melons
cut weighed 81 pounds. 1t was
grown by Mr.. P. NJ. Kearse. Try and
see if you can't grow one weighing
rs pounds next season, P. M, if you
are going to let the "Saltkehatchie
picnicers" help eat it.
Big improvements are being made
on White Point school building. A

Miss Annie Jones, of Newberry, Is
the guest of Miss Aline Kearse.
Mrs. G. E. Kearse entertained last
Saturday evening by giving an "Old
Maids party. The programme
consisted mostly of music rem
dered by the still hopeful SPINS
ters of "Three Mile" Some of the
vocal numbers were IF I Only Had
Sweetheart" and Love Me and
the World is Mine," sung with so
much pathos and heartrendlng
strains until it seems as if they could
rekindle the dormant flames OF love
in some bachelors heart. Those
present were: Misses Aline Kearse,
Alice Kearse, Cressida Breland, Miss
Jones, Nell Kearse, Ettie Kearse;
Messrs. John Frank Breland, julius
Folk, Ewart Brabham, Stacy Kearse.

but six more days to live, Henry
Clay Beattie today sat sullenly in
different TO his approaching fate In
the gloomy death house of Virginia
State penitentiary.
Despite a food OF confessions,
protests, and appeals for mercy for
the wife-murderer. Governor Mann,
who declined to interfere in Beattie's
behalf. today reiterated his deter
mination to allow the murderer to go
to the electric chair next Friday.
Scores Of anonymous confessions and
letters volunteering important EVIL
dence have reached the Governor, but
he believes that all are the work Of
cranks.
Henry Clay Beattie, ST., father of
the condemned boy, was today almost
prostrated with grief over the fate
OF his SON. His seventeen year old
daughter and his other son, Douglas,
worked increasingly to relieve their
father in his sorrow.
But in Richmond death-house,
calmly smoking his cigarette, the
murderer himself showed no anxiety
or grief. The same stolid indiffer-
ence that marked his conduct
throughout his trial was apparent
today. He knows there Is no hope
for him, and he has evidently deter
mined to "die game"

SAVE THE SIDEWALK.
Pavement Leading to the Cemess
teries an Object Lesson for Civic
Improvement League.

The pavement on the north side OF
Wilkes street, between Patrick and
Henry, in front Of the blacksmith and
oil shops OF the Southern Railway
Company, is sorely in need OF immed-
late attention. Unsightly gaps are
in it in which water settles duting rains
.and--;nto wi:!Ch reopIr step III the
dark. Besides pedestrians are liaLle
to suffer injury from the sidewalk in
its present condition. Upto 1856, or
thereabouts, from the roadway on
Wilkes street leading TO the cemeteries
was no improvement on an ordinary
road, and in rairy weather or during
the prevalence Of sncS or seet WAS Il
quagmire.
The government, in order 10 have \
proper roadway tn the National Gene
terry, macadamed the street and placed
brick side walk md stone curbing on
the thoroughfare from Wilkes street to
the cemetery enclosure. The roadway
in time became broken III places aud
large crops OF grass Ncre raised yearly.
The government made proposition to
the authorities OF Alexandria to the
effect that if the city would keep up
the thoroughfare from Alfred to Payne
streets it would keep the remainder iu
repair. The government has fulfilled
its part OF the contract. The city, how
ever, has paid no attention to the por-
ton Of the street within its limits. 1t
is source of regret that this sidewalk,
enjoyed SO long by the many who visit
the cemeteries is to be allowed to
decay.
