The Smallpox Situation
The excitement over the smallpox
has about subsided. Two
cases have been reported in the
cotton mill section southwest of
town since our last issue. Mr.
Dunlap is the only person in the
corporate limits of the town, so
far as we have heard to contract
the disease and he contracted it at
woik on the mill and is now able
to sit up. The prompt vaccina
tion of everybody in the town is
relied on to prevent the spread of
the disease. More than one
thousand of the town'spopulation
was vaccinated Sunday and Monday
and the physicians had Used
several hundred points prior to
that. Practically everybody in
the town is vaccinated, making
*the second time in live years that
most of ihe population has had to
go through the ordeal.
No serious cases have developed
at the cotton mill. Dr.
Maclcey has been put in charge
oy uie otate hoard or neaith.
Vacillation has been going on
o o
there since Monday. \Vo hope
the disease is about at its rows
end here.
Marsh Sentenced to Death. ? R.
A. Barrett Gets Six Months
on the Chain Gang.
Special to Charlotte Observer.
Monroe, Nov. 27.?Judge
Timberlako adjourned court this
afternoon after completing the (
business of the term.
Before adjourning the judge
pronounced sentenco of death up- ,
on the negro man, John Marsh, |
just tried and convicted of crim* ^
inal assault upon a respectable J
colored school teacher. Marsh is
sentenced to he hanged January (
6th, between the hours of 10 and
2. ills eotinscl took an appeal. ,
Public sentiment is to the ctfect
that the judgment is a rigbtenus
one.
Judge Timberlake's return here
would be very salutary. To-day
he sentenced li. A. Barrett, a
well-known whiskey dealer, who
has helped to make a section of
the county nigh uninhabitable, to
six months on the chain gang,
though ho has been in court often
and over, he has never hnd such
a sentenco as this before. Will
Green, another character of similar
denieunor from this neighborhood,
was sentenced to six months
on the chain gang and to pay all
the costs in his case, or pay all
costs and leave the county within
30 days. Both of these cases
were for retailing.

.[ForThe Ledger.
Tho Uobbed Preacher.
Mr. Editor:?I have received
many inquiries ; and expressions
of sympathy from
all over the country concerning
my misfortune in the town of
Laucuster, S. C , on the night of
tho 17th ol Nov. 1 wish to reply
through the Lancaster papers.
To you who have asked some
questions about Sheriff Hunter,
1 am pleased to say that tho
Sheriff did more than his duty
us an officer ; he stood by me,
in my distress, like a friend aud
brother. The police force, tho
kind editors and all the good
people of Lancaster did for mo
all that I could have expected.
To some inquirers I wish to say
that I believo that there are a
lot of as good men and women
in the town of Lancaster as any
where this side of Heaven. Lancaster
has not harmed me. As
a town, compared with towns, I
regard Lancaster as one of my
best friends. The town is as
anxious to bring the robber to
justice as I am. Many have been
very free and uugarded in expressing
their opinions as to
who it might have been that!
robbed me, and how it might
have been accomplished. Their
expressions have been quite varied
and conflicting. I appreciate
all judicious elfort9 to ap- j
prebend the guilty, but I ^
very mucli regret that any one |
may lose friends, cause themselves
and others unpleasantness
in a way that is no help to me
ncr uny oue elsb.
I have answered many questions
respecting this robbery,
some of which I thought very
foreign and unbecoming, but I
have not told any one who I
think got my money. I desire,
as near as possible, to presume
everybody with whom I am acquainted,
to bo innocent, until
1 have evidence showing some
one to be guilty beyond a reasonable
doubt. I can not, now,
suy who got my money?hard
earned as it was by a devoted
wife, faithful children and myself.
1 .may never know who
it was until tho groat da)- when
all hi Iden things shall he made
manifest. May tho Lord have
mercy and help that poor soul
to repent, and steal no more, and
prepare for a better world.
If the guilty ono reads this
communication, let me say to
you that I wish you eternally
well, but unless you repent with
repentance great enough to
cause you to return my money,
your chance for Heaven is slim ;
and your chances to be appre- j
bended and duly rewarded is I
hopeful, and every day being
prayed for. If you will return my
money before any oue gat9 on
hot track of you, I will never |
axpos'> you nor put you to anv
trouble, but if you wait until
some detective gots on pursuit
of you, for the offered reward, I
would not stop him for twice the
amount of which I was robbed,
but let the detective and the law
have foil sway. *
Respectfully, hopefully and
prayerfully submitted,
W. F. Little.

Hoy Loses an Eye.
While playing with a top cap
pistol Thursday, the young son of
Mr. Alex. Stephens received injuries
that cost him the sight of
ono eye. A piece of the paper
cap flow up, after the explosion,
and struck the child in his eye.?
Charlotte Observer.
Douglas eaiLO down from Charl.)lto
this morniug accompanied
by his 12-year-old daughter and
went to the woman's house, lie
had been there only e fetv minutes
when McCraven appeared ^ and
ordered him out of the house, his
command not being obeyed he
struck Douglas over tho head with
a stick and in the scuffle which
followed McCraven shot Douglas
just below the nipple, the bullet
going clear through the heart and
lodging in tho muscles of the
back.
McCraven surrendered and is
now in the guard house.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
Tribute of respect from the
Lancaster Council Family Protective
Union, Mo. 159, to the
memory of our worthy President, j
W. S. L. Porter.
In his death our council has
lost one who from its organization
has been our faithful President,
one we found to be loyal to
tho order and true to each mem j
ber.
In his last sickness ho never
complained, hut had a kind word
for every one. Though comparatively
a young mau, he had won
for himself an enviable position!
j before the people of his county.
Our hearts ure sad when we rea- (
lize that we shall see his face no
1 more or hear his voice giving
j good council to the members of
our order; and yet, mingled with
the sadness there is joy also that
he has won his crown and will be
forever with the Lord.
iSinco we desire as a council to
record our Thanksgiving to God j
for the life and work of Brother
Porter and to express our sorrow
at his death
I
Resolved, 1st. That we bow
in humble submission to the will 1
of our Heavenly Father who gave 1
and who hath taken away and <
who doeth all things well.
2nd. That we see in the death
of our Brother?a call to ourselves
to be more zealoua nnrl
faithful in the work of our Master,
for the time is short and
night is soon coming when 1
work on earth will he ended.
3rd. That we express to the fam- ,
ily of Brother Porter our sincere
sympathy for them in this their
great affliction.
| 4th. That a page in our min'
ute book be inscribed to the
memory of Brother Porter, and
that a copy of these resolutions
be sent to the family of the deceased
brother, and a copy fur
fished the county papers with the
request to publish.
