PARKSVILLE LETTER.
Church Services Well Attended,
Exciting Game of Ball Be-
tween Unmarried and
Married Men.

In rejoicing over the nomination
of Woodrow Wilson for the presi-
dency, and the triumph of man
hood, as exemplifed in the superb
backbone and manhood of w. J.
Bryan for common honesty and de-
cent government, | am reminded of
the following lines By an unknown
poet: The dead have been awaken
ed; shall l sleep? The world is at
war with tyrants; shall l crouch?
The harvest is ripe. shall l forbear
to reap. slumber now. A thorn is
in my couch. Each day trumpet
soundeth in my ear. Its echo in
my heart.
Apropos to the foregoing, per-
nit me to say, in my Judgment, we
need house cleaning in South
Carolina for the sake of common
decency from the governor, and I
might say in many instances, on
down the line. I cant help, but be-
lieve there is enough decency and
common honesty among the voters
in South Carolina 10 cause them to
eschew the CRATER, the bribe taker,
and the blackguard.
The churches were well attended
yesterday, Rev. J. Z. Freeman
preaching an excellent sermon in
the morning in the Baptist church
and the Rev. 3. Fl. Covington in
the afternoon at the Methodist.
Candidate for sheriff, Swearingen
was a respectful worshipper at the
Baptist church in the morning hav-
ing spent the night in the home of
Mr.. K. n. Edmunds.
Mrs. Addie Bell Parks returned
to her home in Augusta yesterday,
little James having about recover
ed. Mr.sJ. G. Parks came up ,Satur-
day to see homefolks. 3
Miss Mary Bell The Youthful las
sic of Judge Bell Of Clark's Hill re-
turned home Sunday. She expects to
spend some time in Augusta with
her cousin Addie Bell Parks, after
which she hopes to return to Parks
vile.
Mrs. J. NJ. Self. Of Plum Branch
spent Saturday with her daughter
Mrs. W. NJ. Robertson.
Anou was specially invited Sat-
urday afternoon to base ball park
TO witness ball game between the
stars, composed Of the unmarried
men, pilted against the married. The
game was very exciting as the Ia
dies turned out IN goodly numbers
and it may be that the cheering of
the young ladies for the boys was
the cause of the success, the stars
beating the married men, the score
standing II to 8. The park has been
lately prepared aud the excessive
rains of last week made the game
very hard and diSagreeable, but not
withstanding the amateurs did well.
The married folks have their dan
der' up, and aver, that when these
youngsters beat them again, they
will have to get move on them.
What about the fair for 1912?
Mr.. Mcdonald asked this question,
and stated, that he was constituting
miniature grist mill of wood and
a small electric motor for exhibi-
ton. This will be quite an attrac-
ton showing g4the ingenuity of Mr..
Mcdonald and his son Walter, who
is a student of Clemson college.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. O. Adams of
Meriwether have great cause for re-
ioicing and thankfulness in the
achievements of their sons, Eugene
and Harry. A few years ago Eu-
gene graduated at Clemson in 1909,
and was Immediately employed by
the Interstate Power Co., as the
chief locating engineer, and now a
call come, from this same concern
for Harry who recently graduated
from the same institution, which is
a decided compliment to Eugene's
faithfulness and efficiency, in that
they want the brother, without
knowing him personally. We con-
gratulate them and rejoice with
them. More Anon.
