Mrs. Margaret eth
Edens. Dead Age 93

Oolenoy, July 10. On the Goth ult., ),
at the advanced age Of SO years, the
soul of Mrs. Margaret Keith Edens
passed into the great Beyond. At the
time of her death she was making her
home with her son, Elijah G., sEdens.
She was married at an early age to
Alexander Edens. Unto this union were
born eleven children. Of this number
10 were reared to maturity. Her hus,
band preceded her to the grave 52 years.
1t was at this time, that her ability as
business woman was demonstrated
Her difficulties were many but with her
ever ready energy as we'll as AN active
mind she found force to resist them. At
the beginning Of the war between the
states four of her oldest boys answered
the call of their country. Thus she was
again left with only the smaller children
for help. But that fortitude and brav-
cry so characteristic of our Southern
women belonged to her. Though heavy
odds were against her she succeeded in
holding her own. Physically she was
wonder. Never did she consult phys
ician nor receive any treatment from
them. Simple home remedies were her
resort. She leaves 249 grand and great
grandchildren and the following living
children: Mesdames Mary Jane Roper
and Rebecca Williams, e. c., P. N. B.,
Robt., Samuel, A. X. and w. E. Edens,
Sr. The funeral was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. w. G. Seaborn, in the
presence of large audience which at
tested the esteem in which she was
held. Her hospitable home, where so
many visited, her kind disposition hold
tender place in our hearts. And
Somewhere in the hilltops of that
country that knows no pain, she will
stand in her beautiful doorway and bid
us welcome again.

And Still We Have April Showers

A steady rain fell all over Pick ems
county from last Friday night until
Monday morning. In some places con-
siderable damage was done, rolling and
bottom land being badly washed. j. w.
Langston, who has been carrying Uncle
Sans mail on route for seven years
was turned back by high water for the
first time last Saturday morning, the
creek near Bud Chastain's being up 80
it was dangerous to cross. r. f. Herd,
on route 8, was turned back near Pete
Prices. 1t is feared that the rain has
considerably damaged the crops in this
county, especially the bottom land corn.

In the Mountains of Pickens Co.

In company with John l.. Scott Of
Greenyille and Rev. Walter Coker of
Anderson county the writer spent sew
eral days recently around Table Rock,
one of the most interesting sections of
the county. We made headquarters at
the new hotel which is at the base of
the rock in beautiful location almost
enclosed by mountain ridges. One may
rest here and drink pure sparkling water
from q nearby spring and study in the
stiffness interrupted only by the swish
ing sound of the mountain brook.
We went one day into the cove on the
north of the rock on the headwaters of
the Saluda and had chat with B. B.
Hooker, who owns nice home over
there. He has some fine corn and has
it well worked. Another day we as
cended Mt. Pinnacle, commonly called
Bald Knob. Geography states that this
is the highest point in the state and one
who climbs it will readily agree with
the geography.
On the morning of July4, with Henry
Mr.. Jones is all right and ever accom-
modating as mail carrier on route 6,
but he led us over rocky road for fish
and the reward was small. To dispel
our disconsolate hearts we found on our
return to the hotel two happy picnic
parties. One from Pickens, consisting
of A. D. Attaway, Mr.. Meredith, Mrs.
Powell, Misses Margaret, Sara, Jonnie,
Eula and Glennie Attaway, Matte Fin
ley, Lura Pickens, May Pepper and Nell
Smith. With them we enjoyed dinner.
Mr.. Scott ate so much he couldn't talk
after dinner.
The other party was from Easley and
consisted of r ". H. K. Williams and
P. M. Taylor and their families with
Miss Bess Burton, of Newberry. 1t
rained in the afternoon preventing a
climb on the Rock.
While around Table Rock we met
many Masters. One family, that of w.
A. Masters, furnished us with the best
of butter, buttermilk and beans. Mr..
| Masters is in his eightieth summer but
does a mans work on the farm. He has
| a beautiful home.
We stopped with Amos C. Suther-
land and family and Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
ry Jones at Oolenoy short while and
were glad to be among these hospitable
folks. That is fine section of great
county they live in. And the man who
owns Table Rock with its scenery, sum-
mer resort and surroundings should
count himself millionaire. H. H.

Birthday Reunion

On July 2 the friends and relatives
of j. H. Higgins gathered at his home
to celebrate his 35th birthday. 1t was
quite surprise to him, but from the
kindness shown and the nice talk that
he made, it was surely appreciated. He
owns nice farm on Liberty route 3
and is prosperous farmer, and he and
his family are held in high esteem in
their community. If you could have
been there and could have seen the big
crowd and all the good things to eat,
you would not ask why was all this
crowd at his home. The table was
spread in the grove with all kiuds of
good things to eat, and after all had
partook of these good things we gath
cred around the organ. His brothers
and other good singers led in the music
and we had some good singing. Mr..
Higgins is the second son of A. B. Rig
gins of Liberty. There were 100 people
present and we all had good time, and
all said goodbye late in the afternoon
and made their way home. N. P.
ing this chautauqua a success. And the
immense audiences that have attended
shows the appreciation of the people of
this section.
The outstanding features of the great
Radcliffe chautauqua were the two ad-
dresses Saturday by DR.. D. Wistar
hn ntr
son College, in Pickens.
Some folks say there's always room
for onr more, but we don't see how one
more could have gotten into the audi
torium Monday night to see Durno and
Lockhart.
Durno's trunk and bag mystery is
some mystery all right, and though we
have been told many times just how it
was done by those who caught on, we
are still unable to do the trick.
The people of Pickens are indebted to
that popular, enterprising, progressive
and indefatigable young lawyer, Sam
B. Craig, for the interest he has taken
in soliciting the fund for the chautau-
qua.
And the best part of it is, we're 60
ing to have the chautauqua again next
year on bigger scale than ever.

Good Crowds Enjoy
Pickens Chautauqua

The citizens of Pickens have every
reason to feel gratified over the success
Of the Chautauqua. 1t was success
and the people enjoyed it. Despite the
rain on Saturday two goodsized audi
ences heard DR.. Daniel and the Colum-
bia Con It company and were well
repaid f, >heir trip in the rain to the
schoolhouse. Sunday morning DIR. Itch
ner pleased large audience at the
Methodist church. Monday afternoon
the sun came out. but it was still too
damp to hold the performances in the
tent and the school auditorium was
packed and jammed both afternoon and
night to see Durno and company and
Eugene Lockhart From the applause
and laughter it was evident that the
audience enjoyed every minute Of the
entertainment
The crowds Monday were SO large
that it was decided to have the Tuesday
ATTRACTIONS in the tent rain or shine.
Tuesday afternoon an immense crowd
braved the rain to hear DR.. Tincher and
the Alpine Yodlers, both of which were
fine. And Tuesday night the tent was
full and overflowing to hear these same
attractions. Tuesday morning DR..
Grimm of the pellagra hospital of Spar
tanburg lectured to large audience.
When it was first decided that Pick
ems was to have chautauqua the plan
was to charge an admission fee, as is
generally done. But last Wednesday
afternoon the committee decided that in
order for everybody to get the benefit
to be derived from these entertainments
and to enjoy them and in order that
everybody might attend, it would be
best to give the chautauqua free.
The committee went to work solicit
ing subscriptions and in a surprisingly
Short time the citizens of Pickens had
contributed enough money to pay for
the chautauqua and pay all incidental
expenses. Amounts ranging from 81
ito $40 were given. The business men
and all the people of Pickens responded
,liberally., Big, little, old and young
were enthusiastic and all put their
shoulder to the wheel and pushed it to a
successful finish.
Pickens has done something that we
doubt if another town in the state Of
South Carolina the size of Pickens has
'done-reached down in her pocket, paid
for;a $500 chautauqua and gave it to the
people of this section absolutely free.
And the people appreciated and enjoyed
lit, too.
