THE ALEXANDER REUNION

Teh fourth Alexander reunion was
held at the Little River graveyard
Saturday, September 16. Many of
the Alexanders and friends met and
passed the day quietly, but interest
ingly.
The first feature of the day was
the privilege extended to the Alexan-
dcrs and friends to give limited talks.
Several responded to- this opportunity.
After the general talks, Rev. w. c..
Seaborn delivered sermon from the
18th chapter of ST. John. At the
end of Rev. Scaborn's sermon, a
bountiful table cf edible food was dis
played by the good wives who had
come from far and near. Several
reasons were given why they ate 50
heartily. Some stated that they ate
heartily because they know that they
were welcome, while others were will
ing to confess that they ate heartily
because they were hungry. Be this as
it may, / am sure that the good house
wives were willing to- admit that sew
cral had the "capacious swallow O.
lchabod Crane" None went home
hungry.
We are sorry that through care
lcssncss that the time of the reunion
was not published in the papers. The
fixed time of the Alexander reunion
is Saturday before the 3rd Sunday in
Sept. The presence of all Alcxanders
and friends will be greatly apprecia-
ted on that day next year.

Deserved Tribute to Liberty Town

1t once seemed that the rancor be-
tween the North and South could
never be healed; then came the Span
lsh war, and it was accomplished, for
our president IN his wisdom in an
pointing men to command orr troops
selected those who had proved their
worth either in the Confederate army
or IN the Union forces. One Of these
who had worn the gray entered his
room and looked upon his new uni
form, the uniform which he had
fought for four years. Gle there u
moment" said he, "while cuss you;
then | will put you on, and, fighting,
will forget you."
So it will be with our present
trouble with the boil weevil.
There was picnic that evidenced
this spirit to snatch victory from de-
feat. We have waited in vain for
an account of it. Modesty doubtless
prevented the people of Liberty from
saying what should have been sad;
but we farmers are not going to let
the opportunity pass without giving
expression to our feelings.
We have always admired Liberty.
It's quick perception of opportunities,
and it's push in grasping them be-
speaks its coming Importance, and
when it evidenced as it did IN this
picnic that it has reached that stage
when it is no longer bounded by it's
own needs; but reaches out to do it's
part i'll the development of the whole
c'4anty, then indeed it proves it's
right to it's ambition to be known as
"Thc Hub"
The picnic itself was success.
We lack experience in reporting such
events; but if perfect weather, fine
music, stirring speeches, and All abun-
dance of everything the appetite
could desire makes picnic, then
truly this one was a success.
The speaking deserves especial
mention, for at this time our people
are eagerly seeking information. A

as Hoke Galloway, who left Norris

brought back and buried at Golden
Creek cemetery OH Monday, the 25th.
The deceased was about 65 years old.
His first wife preceded him to the
world beyond about Is years ago.
His second wife, who was a daughter
CT Mr.. and Mrs. B. D. Sattcrfeld Of
Six Mile, survives him with five chill
dren. He also leaves several children
by his first marriage. The deceased
was out here in June past and buried
daughter, Mrs. Gilstrap, ard he told
some of his relatives then when he
left he would never see this country
any more. Before Mr.. Galloway left
this country he lived several wears
near Norris and it was the writer's
pleasure to attend several family re-
unions at his home. He was man
who enjoyed his friends visiting him
and he very often celebrated his
birthday by inviting his friends and
relatives to conc and dine with him.
While he enjoyed reunion of his
relatives and friends here upon this
earth, we trust and believe he is now
enjoying a reunion with the Lord and
His Saints. Peace to his ashes.

COUNTY CLAIMS
DOG THAT CROWS

The Glccnvillc Piedmont reprints
the following story from the Foun-
tain Inn Tribune and challenges
Pickens county to match it:
The following story is reported by
Sam Smith (ccl.) who lives on tho
farm of Mr.. Robert Bryson two and
a half miles from Fountain Inn.
Sans son, Robert Smith, is the
owner Of five CT six roostcrs of diff
fc,cnt breeds and two dogs, collie
and a shepard About q year ago the
collie began to mock or initiate one
particular Rhode Island Red rooster
every tine he would crow. When the
rooster crows the dog immediately
crows also, CT rather makes an effort
closely resembling the growing of
rooster. This occurrence docs not hap
pen once, but every time the rooster
crows. Nc matter how far apart the
dog and rooster arc. the dog sits
down and crows when he hears the
rooster. This concert takes place
regularly three times each day, at
about S p. M, at midnight and at
daybreak. If some unusual occurrence
during the day makes the rooster
crow, the dog joins in. The entire
Smith family are frequently awaken
cd at midnight by the dog and rooster.
The past few weeks the shepard
has joined in with the collie at mid
night but he refuses to crow at any
other time.
Sam is unable to explain this freak,
and since he does not appear to be
drinking man, we accept his story. IF
any one doubts Sam, he asks that you
come down for concert.

calamity may strike people. At the
first blow they may stagger; but if
6Gfore they fall the spirit to fight as
serts itself, then the result is victory.
Our people have not yet experienced
the full force of the weevirs destruc-
tive power; but fortunately the deter
mlnat:on to fight, and fight intelli-

Prof. Winters, in the Clemson work,
Is truly the "Billy Sunday Of Agricul-
ture." You who have never heard
MIN must not let another opportunity
pass. You cannot listen to him with
out being inspired to be better

men for the fray, Winthrop is doing
her part in awakening the women to
see the opportunities that are theirs
by which they can help.
Mss Taggart was present, and al
ready our people, ashamed of being
behind in the march Of progress,

say as they do now do, eve had so
much fruit, and it was such a pity
to let it go to waste. but what was
the use to try to save it, for we can
net sell it," for Mrs. Kline was there
and told of Winthrop's marketing de-
partment, and how it is designed to
help women make substantial in
come from that which is now wasted.
But it is of the spirit Of Liberty
cf which we would write That spirit
which has taken possession of all her
citizens, to make her not only a place
to be proud Of themselves; but one
which all our county, will be proud
of, and they have gone at it intcll
igcntly. They have organized a
Chamber of Commerce, a live one,
and this picnic was the beginning Of
their work TO declare TO all our pco-
pie that they are heart and soul with
the farmers in their fight.

A THOUGH the United States has
not accepted, and is not likely to
accept the invitation to take part i'm
the economic and financial conference
in Genoa next month, preparations for
the opening Of the meeting are being
made by the Italian government. All
the city's hotels and others along the
Italian Riviera as far as Rapallo are
being requisitioned, rapid transporta-
ton and communication arranged and
the ancient palace put in order for the
sittings of the conference. Baron
Avezzano, formerly ambassador To the
United States, is general secretary in
charge of local arrangements, and Pre-
mier Bonomi, though he has resigned,
is devoting most of his time to the af-
fair, pending the appointment of his
successor.
If America avoids this conference
it will be because, among other rea-
sons, the soviet Russian government,
not yet recognized, is to be represent
ed; because certain European powers
show no disposition to help matters
by reducing their military establish
ments; because none, except England
is trying to balance its budget, and be-
cause few of them recognize the rela-
ton of the general recovery of Europe
TO the recovery of Germany.

to the papal throne in St Peters ba-
silica and assumption of the triple
crown was accompanied by all the
stately ceremony that has grown up
about the browning of pope through
the centuries of the Catholic church's
history.
Since the new pope is an acknOwl-
edged liberal and one of the group
that supported the policies of Benedict
Nv looking toward a reconciliation be-
tween the church and the Italian gov
eminent, it may be that resumption of
relations will come during his reign.
This, though not especially desired by
other European governments, is
strongly favored by many prominent
Italian Catholics. They believe the
church would greatly benefit because
the pope would be free to visit other
countries. Americans in Rome hope
that Plus NJ may even come to this
country, the first pope ever to visit the
new world.
Cardinal OConnell was decidedly
veXed because the choice Of a pope
was made by the sacred college before
he and the other American cardinals
could reach Rome, and there is talk
Of changing the papal constitution so
that this cannot happen in the future.
The incident may also be responsible
for the report that two more American
cardinals are to be created soon. The
archbishops mentioned in this connec-
ton are Mundelen of Chicago and
Hayes of New York.
