Wednesday evening a party of
young gentlemen took advantage
of a lovely moonlight night and
carried their best girls on a most
delightful picnic to White Hall.
They went out in traps, buggies,
etc., doing away with the usual
jolting of wagons, which gen
erally accompanies 'a picnic.
The young ladies had prepared
an elegant lunch, to which the
usual justice was done. About
. ten o'clock the party returned,
each and all voting thanks to the
other who had helped render
them such a charming evening.

Rev. W Li Uney was introduced
as the orator of the day. He an
nounced that he was not a veter
an of that war but was proud to
claim that he is a son of a vet
eran that returned to his Vir
ginia home without surrendering
when the war had ceased.

war but of those true veterans ot

rested on the group.-
A vote of thanks was most
heartily given Mr. Oney for his
address.
The company then went into
the election of officers. Capt. J

re-elected as chairman and Mr. M

capacious dining hall of the Mor

dinner was served under the pro
prietorship of Mr. P S Pharr
and the matronly manipulations
of his daughter. Miss JNettie.
To have seen the f yets" par tako

that no lack of exquisite enjoy

suggested that it was purely an

TO REPAIR MAIS STREET.
Work to Conimenee on the Macadamizing
of Main Street To Commence in
Front of the Hotel and (io Northward.
It will be good news when we
find that the old macadam on
Main stroot has been taken up
and a new and better one put
down. This street, along in
front of our business houses and
on North Main street, is badly
in need of repairs and soon
Mayor Means will have work
commenced on it, as ho is adver
tising for rock for it and later
the rock crusher will be placed
when a location can bo selected.
It has been decided not to do
any work now on the street along
in front of the stores as the time
is near when an abundance of
traveling will be done on this
part of the street when the cot
ton is coming in in such large
quantities.
The crossties, which yet re
main under the macadam will be
taken out. These by their
gradual decay caused holes at
many places in the street. The!
work will bo let by contract to
some person.
It had been intended to put
the rock crusher on the old dum
my lot next to Judge Montgom
ery's residence but this plan has
been changed.
This work when completed
means a great improvement to
the most beautiful stroot in this
or in many other towns, and will
add much to the street as
drive.
Work Being Rapidly Pushed,
As rapidly as possible is the
work going on for tho Concord
Cotton Seed Oil Co. Alroady the
ginnory building is up and also
another building well on the
way. One day there were four
teen carpenters at work which
means that lumber is bein
placed rapidly. It will not be
long before Concord will have a
cotton seed oil mill. The work
may be retarded on account of
the scarcity of lumber.

Ilrutal Reyenife of Criminals
Some moonshincrsjn the up

the lower edge of Granville had
thoir plants seized by the revenue

destroyed a phaeton for Mr.
James Davis and out the throat
of a good horse belonging to

Plough Deep for Wheal. I
Mr. J. B. Hunuicutt suggests in'
tho Texas Farm and Ranch, that
Southern farmers should growi
not only wheat and oats, but' rye
and barley, and that there ,-is noi
reason why they should buy any
of the small grains or their
products." Not much rye or
barley is used in South Carolina,
we believe, but there is a large
demand for both products in the
world's markets, and it would bo
interesting to learn whether or
not they can be grown profitably
in this State.
The main point in Mr. Hunni
cutt's letter, however, relates to
the cultivation of wheat, or
rather tho preparation of the
ground for the crop, and what
he says is of timely interest, in
view of the meeting of the Whea
Growers' Convention, at Green,
wood, today. It is as follows: ,
"We say, emphatically, break
the soil deep, and the subsoil,
too, if it is hard and dry. Wheat
roots will grow four and a half
feet down into the earth, if given
a chance to do so. Thus, you
furnish so much more feeding
room for the plants by plough
ing deep. Soil broken twelve
inches furnishes about ten times
the feeding space it does when
broken only four. When you
plough only four inches, there
is a hard layer of earth, called
hard-pan, which practically pre
vents the roots from growing
through and limits them to four
inches, but when the plough
breaks twelve inches, it gets be
low this hard-pan, and permits,
tho roots to reach the porous
earth below, and go on down as
deeply as they wish to go. In
such cases they will grow forty
eight inches or more. Four di
vides into forty-eight twelve
times. Thus we see the impor
tance of deep breaking.
"There is another great gain.
Plants are largely water, and
cannot grow without water. The
deep preparation enables the
roots to reach the earth-water,
almost always abundant a few
feet below. The four-inch prepa
ration does not do this. Hence,
every little drought injures the
shallow ploughing, but not the
deep soil. Thus we have groat
gain, both in the food and water
supply, by deep preparation."
Probably shallow ploughing
accounts for most of tho failures
with tho crop in tho State. Mr
Hunnicutt's emphatic advice is
emphatically, "break tho ground
deep, " for the good reasons he
gives. It is a good text for the
Convention to discuss. News
Courier of the 16th.
Cure for Potion Oak Virus.
This is the season when the
picnic folks and other guileless
lamblers learn too late the tricks
of that nasty vine called "poison
oak." Kerosene will cure it. As
soon as the eruption appears rub
the oil in liberally; you 11 enjoy
it. Rub it in as often as you feel
like scratching. The poison will
get no worse and m two days
time, sometimes in a day and a
half, it will die out entirely. In
our giddy and thoughtless youth
wo were several times victimized
by the vicious vine. Fooling
along with cream and nightshade
and sugar of lead and other
stylish lotions gave us raw arms
as raw as beets, while the
poison kept inarching on. In
sheer desperation wo just hap
penod to try kerosene and dis
covered that in case of our cuti
cle, at least, it always landed
effectually on tho poison oak's
solar plexus, 'the explanation
seems to be this: The poisonous
property of the vine or plant is
a volatile and excessively irri
fating oil. Being a vegetable oil,
it is diluted, or disorganized, or
destroyed, or otherwise mastered
by the pi troloum product, Gas

Time and! igain through a de
cade has tht' Messenger warned
its readersMigainst the dangers
from ligil'tning and how to ward
agarfist it in some degree. This
summer, it appears to this
t a..., i XT .1.
wnwji, uiiiij e.cimutres in orui
Carolina have reported more
deaths from lightning than arc
usual. The things that tho Me
senger has sought to impress
upon all its readers that they
should do are few and simple;
When a storm is approaching
do not await the rain before you
take a few precautions. 1'eoi
are frequently killed before the
rain falls. Tho first thing to do
is to close up all drafs that is,
put the windows down and shut
all outsido doors. Do not sit
near tho fireplace. Never sit in
an open doorway, nor at a win
dow when raised. If in the field
or on tho road avoid all trees
and never take shelter under
them. Rather lie down in an
open space and take the rain.
Do not be near horses if possible
to avoid it. In yesterday's Mes
senger two accidents by light
ning are reported as occurring
on Tuesday. Mr. Dicksey was
sitting at a window aud the bolt
came down the chimney. Two
negro men got under a tree. The
tree was struck. Watch that.
Two horses were near. One was
knocked down and tho other
shocked. Two women near tho
tree were shocked, and one was
burned, other accounts show
that drafts and horses and trees
were near at hand. Wilmingtou
Messenger.
Mai riuire Maxims.
Never neglect one another;
rather neglect tho whole world
besides.
Never make a remark at the
expense of the other it is mean
ness.
Never be "stubborn," but let
each strive to yield ottenest to
the wishes of the other.
Never part for a day without
loving words to think of durinj
abseuco.
Never find fault unless it i
perfectly certain that a fault has
been committed, and always
speak lovingly.
Never lot any fault you have
committed go by until you huve
frankly conlessed it ; 'id asked
forgiveness. Ex.
(iood Heard Airnin of (cn, I.cc.
(V special from Chattanooga
says that Genera! i itz Lee is
preparing to send ntty girts to
that city from the island of Cuba
to bo educated there, tt seems
that Mrs. S A Sleol some time
ago wrote General Lee a letter
offering to take fifty girls in her
orphan's home. General Lee
took the matter up with the
Presbyterian minister, aud hav
ing satisfied himself that Ihe of
fer was all right determined to
accept.
