REV- HARLEY IN GREENVILLE ??Tells People of Greenville That Conditions There Are DeplorableGreenville, Sept. 27.?Rev. J. L. Harley, superintendent of the State Anti-Saloon league, preached at the First Presbyterian 'church Sunday morning, his remarks bearing laigely on the approaching dispensary election in Greenville county. In the course of his sermon, Mr. Harley related a startling Saturday nigiit experience in Greenville. He said that after supper he started out for a walk and his stroll lead him in the direction of lower Coffee street, when he noticed a suspicious looking venicie approacmng, iqiiowea t>y a number of men. The minister says he drew into thejshadow and was presently astounded to see the occupants of the vehicle begin to serve whiskey to those who had followed. Mr. Harley says he waited till the stock was practically exhausted by the thirsty crowd; then he strolled toward Main street "where there was plenty of light, plenty of policemen, and plenty of smiling happy people." According to the minister's statement the blind tiger situation in Greenville is something deplorable.

For the last year agents have been in different parts of the world making purchases for this department, with a result that today the Mighty Haag shows possess one of the largest, most varied and costly collection of representative members of the equine family which wealth can procure, and it is doubtful if anywhere near the like has ever been exhibited before. Certainly never by any traveling shows. Ladies and children are particularly invited to visit this horse fair, which all may safely do without escort, as uniformed and courteous attendants are always present, to look after the welfare of callers. Bob white! Peas ripe? No, not quite! Possums are, "how sumever." And 'taters! Another Tribute to James EvansJames Evans died on the 21st of Sept. 1910 and was buried at Lebanon on the 22nd. James Evans was born in Ireland Auburn County, in September 1841* His parents#emigrated to America in 1832 and settled near Donaldsville, Abbeville county. After 3 years his father moved near Lebanon, some 5 miles south of Abbeville. His father died when he was about six years old leaving his mother aud five children to care for. James Evans and the writer started to school about the ' same time, and the friendship made while boys never changed for over half a century. James Evans enlisted in Company A 1st S. C. Cavalry, Col. Black under Cap. M. T. Owen, and was as faithful to the cause of the South as he was to his friends. The services rendered to the South was done uucomplalngly and cheerfully. All of his duties in camp life were rendered without a murmur or complaint. He never left his company during the 4 years on furlough or sickness; his captain noticing his faithfulness to duty detailed him tothecare of some horses on a farm in Rockbridge County, Va., when ho was absent from Co., about two months he has related this fHct a number of time6 to the writer as being the most pleasant times he had during the war. After the war he came homo with nothing but a willing heart and mind to support his mother and widowed sister and four children and by industry and energy accomplished his end, supporting a. J educating his sisters children; also careing for another sisters children until they were old enough to care for themselves. In 1876 he married Miss PomeliaJ Aiken by whom he had six children all of them arc nearlv crown. He left, t.hpm nnmfm-tohiu f situated. Mr. Evans was the most unselfish man I have met. He was continu ally thinking of some one else welfare, He joined Lebanon Presbyterian Church in 190-i and has been a consistent meuibei until his death. His is a great loss to his family, to his neighborhood and to his county. Woulc we had more like him. His war recorc was oLthe best. Such men as James Evans make it possible for the names of Lee Jackson, Hampton and other to be enroll ed on the roll of Names. / X. 5 * 's / : n. . CAPT PRATT APPROVES. ? '' The Noble Act of a Rich Slaveowner His Kindly Act for the Poor With out a Precedent(Contributed.) In an interview with Capt. Pratt lie su.ii: that, as far as ho know, our report as pub lished was substantially correct. He gave the following additional notes: Lieut. James Pratt was promoted tc Captain about two years before the surrender. Co. Cr, Orr's Hides, left Due West, 100 strong. The Company was 123 strong when tho Company left Sullivan's Island for Virginia in May, 1802. Because ol deaths and sickness tho Company had been reduced to 63 for duty at the battle of Gains Mill. In that battle 19 members of the Company were killed on the field. Of the remaining members of that Company only 12 were able for duty after the battle. And all but two of that twelve were wounded, namely: Lieut. James Pratt and William A. Fisher. Through the kindness of Probate Judge Jones H. Miller we were put in possession of the fact that Aug. M. Smith made provision in his will "for tho benefit of the poor, especially in regard to the education of the vlrtuonr poor." This, we believe, is the only instance of its kind, where any slave owner has provided for the education of the virtuous poor, and because of this fact it is a pleasure to note the kind ness of a great heart which was exceptionally good to the poor in this County. Here is a clause of the will: ' n-Of the cash raised from the various above mentioned, I give Fifty Thousand dollars that may be first in hand, after payment of my debts, to be equally divided between my wife and son; and of the remaining cash I desire that my executors shall at the times and in the way they find most convenient, set apart OneTenth part, and the remaining nine-tenths shall be equally divided between my wife and son. The one-tenth part sot apart as above, my executors shall, when it may be most convenient for my estate, pay to the Senator and members of the House of Representatives from Abbeville District in the General Assembly of South Carolina, in trust; And I direct and urgently desire that these Senator and Representatives, and their successors in office, shall, as trustees, receive, vest and disburse this money, for the benefit, of the poor of the said district, especially in regard to the education of the virtuous poor, to these trustees according to their sound discretion, from time to time. I leave the selection of a plan, its execution and change at their pleasure, by which the purpose I have indicated may. be best promoted, according to the amount that may be received. A majority of the Senator and Representatives shall have all the powers of Trustees under this clause, and the greater number of this majority shall decide any question that may divide them." The will was dated January 7,1861. The executors named were: James M. Perren W. Joel Smith, and D. L. Wardlaw. The witnesses were: W. H. Parker, John AMcDonald, and J. T. Moore. At the time the will was written Mr. Smith was regarded as a very rich man. He had in Arkansas "about 135 negro slaves" on his lands consisting of 4,600 acres. In Abbeville County he had "about 115 negroes" on his farming lands consisting of 2,500 acres. James M. Perrin, the first named executor never qualified. He was in the military service of the Confederacy, and was in command of Orr'6 regiment at the battle of Chancellorsville, which was one of the most important battles of the war. 180,000 Federals under Hooker and 60,000 Confederates under Lee. Federal loss 17,300. Confederate loss 12,465. The fighting included May 1-4, 1863. It was in this battle that Col. Perrin was shot 4-kw/\ti/?K <-Ka llfl Hiflrl Ir* fVin nomn UUUUgll tuu lA/UJ'. UW UWU AAA ?HW hospital in the forenoon of the next day. Stonewall Jackson while in advance of the army was mistaken for a Federal officer when ho was killed by his own men on the same day that Col. Perrin was killed. On June 27,18C2 Aug. M. Smith, Colonel of Gregg's regiment, was killed at Gaines Mill, where so many of the Due West volunteers were killed. On January 8, 18C3, appraisers of his estate made report to the Probate Judge of their actings and doings as to the appraisement of the personal property in Abbeville County, and, exclusive of special devises of the home and other property in the town of Abbeville, it amounted to more than $100,000. The appraisers were: George Allen, J. S. Cothrun, \V. H. Parker, J. Clark "Wardlaw. Commissioners to look after Colonel Smith's property in Arkansas. As we understand, they found that the slaves wore free; that the Confederates had been ordered to burn his cotton, (540 bales), and that the overseer or manager of the estate had been run off. After the destruction of personal property and after settlement of outstanding claims, and taking out the special devises there remained nothing for the education of the poor, though the record of his magnaminity toward unfortunate neighbors and virtuous citizens, makes a record which stands out in bold relief against the vulgarity of the insolent purse proud citizens who either twitted them with being "poor white trash," or who taught their negroes to do the vulgar act. Col. Aug. M. Smith was not only a valorous soldier and as knightly an officer as ever met a foe, but he had a great heart and a fellowfeeling for the oppressed in civil life.

Available Phosphoric Acid and 4 per'cent. Potash, and the ten-six goods contain 10 per cent. Available Phosphoric Acid and 6 per cent. Potash. You can put either of these in the ground when you sow your grain as neither Phosphoric Acid nor Potash will leach out' ot the soil on account 01 rains, but stay in the soil until they are taken up as plant food. So, if you fertilize your grain with this fertilizer and the grain stands the winter you can top dress it next spring with either Nitrate of Soda or our specially prepared High Grade Fertilizer for side dressing which is better, as this is heavily charged with Nitrate of' Soda and has other High Grade Ammoniates which makes it last longer fhan Nitrate of Soda when used by itself. If you find that your grain has been killed out during the winter you can use the same ground for corn or cotton in the spring and you have the advantage of the 10-4 and 10-6 goods which is put in the ground at the time you sow your grain, for neither Phosphoric Acid nor Potash leach out of the soil but remain there until taken up as plant food.
