HARDY'S HAPPENINGS.
Protracted Services. Woman's
Missionary Society Met,
Red Gross Concert at
SweetWater.

The weeks come and 60 so rap
idly we get very little done, and are
so tired trying to do all the time.
Third Sunday has come and
gone. Our pastor was late arriving
at his post, but after he made his
excuses for tardiness, and said he
had all the feeding, milking, and
mornings work TO do, and was
tired, we could sympathize with
him, and wondered if he ever does
with those of us who have it all to
do every day, Sunday not excepted.
Then he said this was his fourth
week of protracted meetings and he
was tired and nervous.
The weather is too intensely hot
to keep quiet without getting sleepy.
We were glad to have some Of
our Trenton friends down with US
at services Sunday, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wallace Wise, and daughters. Also
Miss Sallie Mae Miller and brother,
Miss Sallie Mae very kindly as
sisted with the music. Also Mrs.
Wise. Mr.. and Mrs. Zimmerman.
and gave us some beautiful new
pieces, which we enjoyed and
thanked them very much. Hope
they will come often. Mr.. and
Mrs. Will Walker, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Nerdery, of North Augusta,
were with US also.
Our w. M. S. met last Thursday
at MIR. Walter Stevens hospitable
home. They appointed delegates
for the WIN. U. at Horns Greek,
2sth and 29th, and have splendid
report to make. After the business
was finished, the Red Cross Off
GERS held short session TO COM
plete their arrangements for the en-
tertainment at Sweetwater, Satur-
day August Gath at O'clock. We
hope to have the band of music
from Camp Hancock. The Jazz
band. Also have Mr.. to
give an address. There will be ice
cream FOR sale by, The. ladies, for the
benefit Of the Red Cross. We IN
vite all who will, to come and en-
Joy the music by this fine band of
soldiers, and listen TO the speaking.
Be sure not TO leave without help
inc the Red Cross. We have 32
names on our roll now, and almost
all, are w. NJ. S. members also.
We are proud of our two bands
now, and are doing some good work,
hope to do better as the weeks
go by.
We heard of another young man
bringingin new bride, Dr.. Tray
lor Briggs, we hear, was married on
Saturday 18th to Miss Gary, of Alb
beville, S. G. They left immedi-
ately for the mountains of North
Carolina for their honey moon. We
congratulate DR.. Briggs, and wish
them both much happiness. Hope
they will settle in our community,
for we cannot afford to lose our
Doctor.

AFTER THE WAR WHAT

When this war closes very SER
ious problem win be presented to the
people in the matter Of an enormous
debt, and II stands them In hand to
give It their best thought in the
meantime. Shall we throw down the
bars Of protective measuresf The
democratic party has always been
and 10 now a free trade organiza-
tion. whereas, protection Of Ameri-
can manufactures is the cardinal
principle Of the republican party.
Abraham Iincoln's first speech on
the tariff question was short and to
the point. He said he did not pre-
tend to be learned in political econ
omy, but he thought he knew
enough that when an American
paid twenty dollars for steel 10 an
English manufacturer, America had
the steel and England had the
twenty dollars. That was the sum
and substance Of the tariff question
as he viewed IL.
After a lifetime of free trade agi-
tation Buchanan was compelled to
modify his views as shown In his
message to congress in 1857, where
in he says: Panic and distress Of
fearful character prevail through
out the land. Our laboring popula-
tion is without employment and con-
sequently deprived Of the means Of
earning their bread. Indeed al! hope
seems to have deserted the minds of
men" and signed the Morrill, tariff
bill, March 2, 1861.

perience with revenue tariff, ard
