PICNIC AT ROCKY KNOLL.
independence Day Celebrated Fitting
ly by Two Sunday Schools.

Editor Keowee Courier: On July
4th the Rocky Knoll Sunday school
(John w. Abbott, superintendent
and Zion Sunday school (Thomas j.
Deaton, superintendent, met at the
residence Of John w. Abbott to en-
JOY Independence Day. BY request
short impromptu talks were made by
VIM. II. McGill, V. F. Martin and
Rev. M. G. Holland, the speakers be-
ing introduced by F. w. Harbort.
The exercises were interspersed with
sweet music furnished by young la
dies and gentlemen.
Resolutions of thanks to Mr.. Abb
bott and his family for their kindness
and hospitality were offered by Mr..
McGill and unanimously adopted.
By request Miss Maggie Abbott re-
cited and sang a beautiful and pa
thetic piece about wounded Con-
federate boy soldier and his mother,
which touched the hearts of the two
eX-Confederate soldiers present and
revived many sweet, sad memories
of those stirring times when life and
property were considered as naught
compared with principle and liberty
-sweetj sad memories Of heroic com
rades dead and gone who knew that
their loving, devoted mothers would
rather see them brought home dead
than dishonored.
On table In the beautiful grove
bountiful dinner was served, con-
sisting Of bread, sandwiches, pickles,
pies, cakes, iced lemonade and plen-
JlTu1 supply OF that great Southern
(and l hope never to be abandoned)
dish, fried chicken-not the pale
faced, pale-combed long, lank, lean,
disconsolate, discouraged city
chicken, which for weeks had been
kept In little yard back of some
country store, for a week or more in
pen near some village store, and
then for an indefinite period in
coop in front of some city store. The
country chicken is fat and healthy,
generally fried in ome-raised> lard,
prepared by experienced cooks and
well deserving the high encomiums
of that talented Governor and u. S.
Senator, the late Governor Bob Tay-
dor, of Tennessee. After dinner
every one scattered through the
grove, enjoying themselves at will
Some engaged in athletic sports, some
looked on, some courted and perhaps
there we're few flirtations.
About 2 o'clock p. m. the rain
caused every one to seek shelter in
the house. This was hardest on the
little children. The older people en-
joyed themselves looking at and talk
ing of the much-needed rain, while
the Young ladies' and gentlemen gath
cred around the organ or paired Off In
nooks and corners and apparently en-
Joyed themselves more than when in
the grove. Just before the rain com
menced one gentleman was so enthu-
siastic and happy over the success of
the picnic that he jumped on the ta-
bile In the grove and commenced to
knock double shuttle, but immedi-
ately remembering that he was q
good Methodist he stopped, fortu-
nately before crossing his feet" and,
therefore, he did not dance.

relatives and friends, the body being
borne to its sepulcher by five grand
sons and granddaughter.
Truly, in the passing Of Mrs
Hughs from earth, it may be said that
a good woman, a true Christian, has
been called to her reward. In their
hour of sorrow the bereaved ones
have the sympathy of a host of
friends near and far.

AS the rain slackened the guests
departed in groups, all asserting that
they had had most pleasant time,
the older ones thankful to the "Giver
of all good" for the rain, which came
so opportunely for the crops.

.PELKEY IS OLDEST
IN FAMILY Of IS
Man Who Knocked Out Luther Nc.
Carty Is Thirty Years Old and
Was Born in Ontario.
FIRST IMPORTANT BOUT
WAS IN BOSTON IN 1910
Showing Surprised Everyone and He
Soon Was Able to Secure Some
Important Matches.

Arthur Pelkey, the Chicopee Mass.
boy, who knocked out Champion Luther
McCarty, was born at Dover, South On
tario, October 81, 1888, the Oldest of a
family of 13 children.
Several years ago he went to live in
Chicopee, where he obtained work as a
loomfixer in one of the mills. He was
always handy with his fists, and after
his working hours found time to de.
velOp the art of self-defense, appearing
frequently in private bouts, in which
he got his first ring experience.
His first important bout took place
before the Armcry A. A in Boston, De-
cember 8, 1910, when he went 10
rounds to draw with Kent (Kid)
Salisbury, of NewburypOrt. He had
entered the fight without any training,
and his showing surprised everyone.
Encouraged by his showing against
Salisbury, Pelkey's friends succeeded
in getting him a place on the card Of
the White City Athletic club, in West
field, where he met Tom Tracy, Janu.
ary %, 1911. Pelkey had done little
training for this bout, but it was plainly
evident when he had been in action
only for a few minutes that he had a
lot to learn about boxing. However, he
had a terrible right punch, which made
up for what he acked in science, as
Tracy found out when he got in front
Of it in the second round. He went
down and out then and there,
Pekey's next bout was a return en-.
and this time Pekey got the
decision over the Newburyport man.
Soon after this time 0'Rourke had his
famous white hope tournament in New
York City and Pelkey entered. Pelkey
went up against AL. Benedict, of Bos.
ton, and Benedict was given the deci-
sion, although Pelkey's friends still
maintain that he was the victim of
raw deal by the referee. The New York
sporting writer's were unanimous in de-
claring that Pelkey had whipped Bene-
dict.

SOUTH HIGH PAVING
GOES TO COMMITTEE
Another Effort Will Be to Get To-
gether on Question of Making
an Assessment.
sToLz SAYS WORK is
ACCORDING TO SPECIFICATIONS
Tells Of His Investigation of Matter
and Of Present City Engin-
err's Findings.

After a lengthy discussion of the
proposition of acting on the ordinance
providing for the assessment of South
High street property for paving inn
provement, the council last evening
decided to refer the matter again, with
a view of talking the matter over with
property owners who have objected to
the making of the assessment on the
ground that the Montague 0 Reilly
company has failed to construct the
street according to specifications.
Councilman Stolz went over the his.
tory of the work, stating that it was
commenced under the administration
last year. He admitted that it looked
like a poor job, but asserted that the
contractor had followed specifications
to the letter. The work had been
checked over 'by the present city en-
gineer, Stolz stated and his informa-
tion was gained from that official.
Stolz blamed last year administra-
tion for its failue to get bridge abutt-
ments constructed in time to permit
the Montague-o Reilly company to pro,
ceed with its work. The result was
that much of the paving was construct.
ed in the winter time.
D. j. Fry, one of the property own
ers, intimated that opposition to the as.
sessment would probably reach the
courts. He did not believe that the
street could be ecompleted for about $500.
He told Of how efforts had been made
to patch up the botch work. He told
of the many unsatisfactory conditions
on the street and said as far as it was
concerned it was used mostly by auto
mobiles from all over town and he be.
'heved every motorcycle in Salem had
been over it. He could not see that
the city was out much because Of the
lact that it was paying interest on the
contract
Macy told of having investigated the
paving. He found it very unsatisfac.
tory.
City Attorney Page urged that the
assessment be made. He said it had
nothing to do with the payment of the
amount still due the contractor. He
declared it was unfair to leave the bur.
den on the people of the city.
Stolz said he wanted the councilmen
to go over the paving and have it test
ed by the city engineer. He had It
done and found it was all right.
Cummings said the mistakes of the
past should be lesson to the council.
A representative of the paving firm
defended the work done. It was prom.
ised the defects would be remedied.
The discussion followed a report of
the street committee finding that the
