HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Planning Fall Gardens. Good
Sermon at Sweetwater. Build
ing to be Improved. Sick
ness in Community.

Summer has come back again, un-
til we have a rain, l guess. Altho
we have been having cold weather,
yes, real cold days and nights, and
had not had rain, but lots of clouds,
and my! such bleak winds. We all
drew up in our shell and had real
winter time fires, and sat close. too.
Since Friday the sun came out and
warmed up everything, until it is
hot.
The farmers that had hay down
were glad to have the rain stay off,
and hoped it would not come until
the hay was all housed, but alas, it
has arrived. Well, as it has, we
hope to do some gardening and get
our collard plants set out, and hope
every one of them will grow fast.
Beets and onion sets planted too,
for we miss our vegetables so much.
We did not get turnips and mustard
sowed, as it was So wet in July, and
since then so dry and hot. 1t has
always been strange to me, how
some people can say they do not
care for vegetables. Why, am at
a loss as to how to get up a dinner
when I haven't vegetables. The
chickens too have struck, as well as
the garden, and we are getting no
eggs to help out. The hens must
belong to the union, as 1t is a day
of strikes. The COWS are joining it
too.
We attended service at Sweetwa-
ter on Sunday, and very good
congregation was out. They held
conference just after a fine sermon
by Rev. Mr.. Reynolds, and elected
Mr.. Calbraith Murror, deacon, to be
ordained on Saturday before the
second Sunday in November. They
then had a partial report from the
committee who were appointed to
raise the money for repairing and
painting Sweetwater church. Their
report was very encouraging, and
those of the members who were
there made very nice pledges, so
they hope soon to begin the work
on it. We have heard a good many
express the hope that they leave the
old gallery where it is. Old Sweet
water is pretty old church and has
the largest cemetery of any country
church we have ever seen. There
were FIVE received into the church
Sunday.
We are sorry to hear that Miss
Melvie Lanier has sold her home
and lands to Mr.. Medlock and will
leave our neighborhood and go to
North Augusta to make her home.
There are so few people in this Sec
tion that we regret to lose any one.
Glad to have Mrs. Lille DeLaugh-
ter move back to her home place,
and hope they may none OF them
have any more chills from coming
back, but it is a risky business.
Sorry to hear of MI. and Mrs.
Ernest Iugram having fever over
at the Medlock home, in the cor
ner."
We are sorry the malaria has ex-

Mr.. Milton Barker's high hill and
put Mr.. Milton Barker in bed with
fever one day last week. Hope he
will not have return of it.
Mr.. Will Briggs has moved back,
and his little girl, Luta, has been
real sick since they came back with
fever.
! Mrs. Harry Bunch hopes to have
a full school this week and none of
the children sick again.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Adams, and
Miss Lee Adams came by and car
ried Miss Lila Bunch out to church
Sunday, but she came home with
Mrs. NJ. II. Shaw and Miss Melvie
Lanier.
Mr.. Herbert and Mrs. Bunch went
home with Mr.. and Mrs. H. F.
Cooper and spent a very pleasant
afternoon, Sunday.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Fouche took
Mrs. Frances Townes and Messrs.
Martin and Henry Medlock to Au-
gusta to attend services, and Messrs.
Medlock went up on the train to
attend court. Mr.. Wise, Mrs.
Pouches father, came out with them.
Speaking of that good man, Mr..
Ed Fouche, reminds me that l wrote
an account of the delightful trip l
took with Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Fouche
to Greenwood three weeks ago. 1t
must have been misplaced. as it has
never been published. They very
generously came AMI invited me to
go with them, and said they were
going by for Mr.. and Mrs. S. T..
Adams to join us. We had such a
jolly good time, and we are hoping
the dose" may be repeated before
always.
We visited Mr.. and Mrs. John
Fouche, Mr.. Eds parents. Mr.. Full
ler Fouche was at home, and many
of us remember him, having been
in our midst with Mr.. Ed. Also
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace Fouche and
family. When they were here, the
children were small, but now Misses
Jessie and Ruble ara very pretty
smart young ladies. AS the young
men up there have good taste and
fine eye sight, we don't think Mrs.
Fouche will be able to keep Miss
Jessie long as housekeeper as she
will do that for her own self and
one other. Miss Rubie is still at
school. Little Jack Is almost as
small as ever, and a smart little ma
chinest. We also visited Mr.. Will
lie Fooche's family, and went on
Sunday 10 Ninety Six and Dyson,
away off on the good roads of
Greenwood County. Came home
Monday, after having enjoyed every
minute of those three memorable
days. We passed the Orphanage
and wished we could have gone in
to see the dear little children.
By not going to church Sunday
morning, we missed seeing Miss
Madge Mays and many others we
may have known.
On our way home, we called by
and saw that dear sweet lady, Mrs.
Ed Bunch, and as she always is,
she very thoughtfully sent her aunt,
Mrs. Sallie Bunch, rale treat "a
quart of cider vinegar, which she
appreciates and thanks her very
much. Hardy's.

Society novels are not written for
Society with a capital S except in rare
cases. The profitable field Of their au-
thors lies elsewhere, among the mill
ions Of women in this broad country OF
ours who dream of the Mecca which
they know to be beyond their reach
who. in fact, are quite content to take
their Society thus at a distance, IN
story form, provided it be served up
in sufficiently glaring colors. To this
vast audience Florence lrwin's story
should appeal with great success. IL
will satisfy their curiosity, feed their
imagination, confirm their suspicious
with iact tricked up in many inyen--
tions. The book is a sort OF resume OF
the scandals that are whispered, the
coniectures that are made, with, OF
course. those seeming illusions TO real
men and women which are the aroma
of such fiction its ultimate punch
1t is good policy to make ones readers
believe that they are reading roman

the progress of the daughter Of a WI

America she has little TO hamper her,
but even that little she readily drops
when she sees her advantage. Planning
and plotting, toadying and snubblng

of the arts she soon learns she makes
her way. The only time when she skirts
disaster is when she surrenders TO a
natural impulse. All the leaders OF
New York's society in this story bear
Knickerbocker names. This, while sug-
gesting another conclusion TO New
Yorkers. is well calculated TO heighten
the impression of realism in the eyes
of the provinces From her own point
Of view, the woman has led well-spent
life The Dead Sea fruit note on which
her story ends is hardly convincing.

d. .sS. =. A. Dlion Co
The war in Africa is merely vhis-
pering echo of the European conflict
Occasional cablegrams reach us from
the various points of contact between
Allies and Germans. but, on the whole,
the conquest of a colonia! empire goes
on practically unconsidered. 1t will be
time enough to cast up accounts after
the terms Of peace shall have been
published.
Botha's conquest of German South
West Africa-"G. s. w." as II is briefly
called by the author of this book-has
added 10 the South African Union q
territory larger by more than 100000
square miles than the German Empire
itself, and nearly equal 10 the combined
areas of Washington, Oregon and Cali
fornia. II had garrison, in 1914, Of
1867 German officers and soldiers and
SIC police. The conquest has been
almost q bloodless one, n matter of
back breaking marches and rides, OF IN
tolerable heat and biting cold, OF the
agOnics of thirst and sand storms in
the desert, of mere skirmishes and sur
renders Mr.. Robinson, who evidently
took Mark Tapley for his model, saw
throughout his entire campaign only
five enemy soldiers who were killed
and three German civilians, who sur
rendered. "The story Of the campaign"
he says, is written plain, for all time,
across the sands of that amazing
country. and an empty bully-beef tin,
half-bur!ed in the flank of a tawny
sand dune, is eloquent of most of its
detail" OF course, the Transvaal Scot
tish, in which he was a corporal, did
not know this when they started ex
pectant Of desperate fighting, resolved
to cover themselves with glory.
His story has the qualities of a
narrative Of exploration, OF holiday in
the wilderness complicated by unfore-
seen physical discomforts. 1t is capi-
tai book of the open, whose author is
as observant of the natural beauties
and barrenness of the country as Of the
traits of his fellow soldiers. Beyond
his own company he did not see; he
tells US nothing Of the composition OF
the expedition-the proportion of Beers
among these Africanders nothing of
political conditions in South Africa,
which, we know through the very strict
ness Of the censorship, are strained in
deed nothing of Botha, whom he saw
only once, or of the position and pros
poets Of this statesman soldier, a hero
abroad, but viewed with far different
eyes by the mass of the men of his
own race at home. His Introductory
letter is brief, but commendatory.
