Ttie Lexington Dispatch: Wednesday, July 22,1903. Silly Feliz's Letter. To tbe Editor of the Dispatch: We have been having delightful seasons of late. In some sections crops are fairlv goods while in other localities they are not so good. The general health of the community is splendid, although there are some cases of fever and other diseses. Mr. W. A. Goodwin, who has been confined to his bed for sometime, is up and out again to the delight of his many friends. Mrs. Annie Hutto And Mrs. J. F. Fallaw are still una ble to be up, but we entertain hopes -for their recovery. Messrs. D. E and D H Craft are erecting a building to cure their tobacco in. I believe they have some as fine tobacco as there is in the county. There were many 'cues on the Glorious Fourth ard the people enjoyed themselves, especially the youDg foik. There were a variety of sport and atheletic exercises. We are reliably informed that sfc one the band discoursed its sweetest strains of melodious music, whiie the ycung folk, in largs numbers, tipped the light fantastic toe, keeping time and pace to the same. Yonder, in another part of the scene, some young men were trying their "man*' on the '?*- ? riViIl** o n ofVi or spprifi UIUt'&'QUU'lcu, nuuv uuvvmv* brought to view an evangelist mounted upon a dry goods box in the street preaching to a part of the same crowd. These events were all going on at the same place and at the same time and by the same people, so we have been informed. . Mr. J. G. Fallaw has had the painter's brush applied to his dwelling. *It now has a neat, cool and inviting appearance. He feels about as proud of it now as he did when his first born appeared. W. B. Fallaw had the contract to do the work. Mr. Editor, put Billy down as one who is in favor of better roads. Some of our roads are almost impassable, and some of the public roads are a disgrace to the county, and many of the private roads?well, they are in miserable condition. The winds have felled trees across them; holes have been washed in them in many places, and to make matters worse some of the farmers have plowed across the fields. They will plow out wit* an 18 or 20 inch sweep, pile up the rocks and grass turft in the wagon ruts, throw grub3 and roots and sticks and limbs in the road, and as they turn they will start the plow in before they reach the cotton or com row, as the case may be, and scoop out the dirt, and it mades a fellow mighty shaky to attempt to ride over such a road. About the M worse piece of such a road I ha^e seen is along by the side of a cotton field of one of our defeated candidates for County Commissioner. He is going to make the race again in 1904 and Billy would advise him to be careful as to how he keeps the roads by bis cotton patch. Well, this has been a pretty bard time with the farmers in his battles with old General Green. I have seen where one folio hauled the old General out of his fields in company with a great company of weeds. A pretty bright idea. Some spoke of burying the old fellow alive and others of drowning him. One farmer said he was cutting by paths through his farm so the bears could travel without damaging the vegetation too much. A protracted meeting is in pro[ gress at this writing, k Gaston, S. C., July 13,1903. Dots from Derricks. 171 - ~ T)isr>atfih: XU blio J-i auui >_>*. kuv ? ~ ? The health of this community is fairly good at this writing, but General Green has got mo3t of the farmers looking badly. They are now getting the best of him, however. The crops are looking nicely now and if the showers continue we will raise our own corn. We had a nice rain yesterday. . We are living on beans, cabbages and other vegetables. Watermelons will be on band in a few days. There was a musicale at Mr. Adam Amick's last Saturday night. It was certainly enjoyed by all who were ^ present. The music was from a string ban3, the members of which are: Messrs. Charles Huffstettler, Pat Koon, George Koon and Marry Falmer. The boys certainly are in good practice. Koon and Amick drove in their machinery last Wednesday from a threshing tour after making a good run. They say such years do not pay. Some of the boys that were along, especially the straw boy, came very near suffocating, the horrible dust being so stifling. Some of our boys end girls have been visiting the steel bridge on the Saluda, in Newberry, Saturday, i think, more of cur boys will purchase buggies soon so as to take their best girl to see the bridge. That's right, boy?, the girls like to ride in new buggies. Well, Mr. Bachelor, gather the berries and fruit; keep fat on pies and use cosmetic, and it will be in the near future Jenny get ycu boecake dene, my love, Ob, Jenny get my hoecake done. My best wishes to the ;Dispatch and its readers. J. Will Buy It Back. You assume no risk when you buy Chamberlain's Colic, Caolera and I Diarrhmr Remedy.

A sensational homicide occurred at Simpson's Cross Roadp, in Laurens county, on July 9th, which has thrown the entire county in a state of wild excitement. John G. Wham, in hi3 own yard, shot and killed his neighbor, L. W. Ramage. The accounts of the trageday which led up to the killing are conflicting, but it seems that a few days previona to the homicide the wife of "Wham and a lady visitor went to Ciinton to spend the day and night. During their absence Wham addressed a note to a Mks Simpson, a maiden of about 16 years, and a daughter of Thomas Simpson, a Confederate veteran^ askiDg her to come over and spend the night at his home. The note was signed by the name of the lady visitor. It fell i - n . i if o; into tne nanas ci iurs. Diinpsor', whose suspicions became aroused. A family consultation was held and was decided to ask Wham for an explanation. He said he found the note on the table and sent it over, at the sametime making some insulting remarks against the character of Miss Simpson. The father of the girl declared that nothing but the blood of Wham would satisfy him. At the request of Mrs. Wham, Mr. Eamage consented to act as peace maker, and went to Wham's house for the purpose of amicably adjusting the difficulty. A friendly conversation ensued. When Wham started to go into bis house, Eamage called to him to stop which was unheeded and he continued his way and entered his house. Eamage walked around the house when Wham fired upon him killing him. An effort was made by the friends of Eamage to lynch Wham, but the presence of mind of his wife frustrated the attempt and he made his escape. Bloodhounds were sent for and put upon his trail, but failed to trail. Wham went to Spartanburg county and several days after the killing, surrendered to the sheriff of that cohnty. Laurens, July 15.?John G Wham was granted bail in the sum of Si,000 by Judge Dantzler this evening at 7:30 o'clock. Wham killed Lafayette W. Ramage at Wham's home near Clinton, this county, on July 9. Ferguson & Featherstone and W. R. Richey, leading attorneys of this city, appeared for the defendant. Solicitor Sease, of Spartanburg, was assisted by ex-Solicitor 0. L. Schumpert, of Newberry, for the State. The court room was crowded when the decision was announced. The ca3e attracts great interest, on account of the prominence of the prisoner. W. L. T. What makes a girl look so queer when you talk about the loyalty of a man who is engaged to her best friend Rockefeller vs. Morgan. 1 The long expected stroke forced upon Wall street by John D. Iijckefeller has reached a dangerous crisis in the most, sensational slump since the panic of May 9, 1801. Great pressure was put upon the issues of the steel corporation and they acted largely as a barometer for the list. Wall street saw in this position of Mr. Rockefeller, whose motive in instituting the b:g bear raid is invs tery of the financial world, an altitude of direct opposition to the interests reprsented by J P Morgan.
