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,

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.

Domestic Tragedy.
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.

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.

Cholera Infantum.

diseases to which infants are subject. !
It can be cured, however, when prop- j

to give Chamberlain's Coiic, Cholera

oil, as directed with each bottle, and
a cure is certain. For sale by The

j This Should Settle the Matter.
Gen. Stephen D. Lee says that j
Cipt. Geo. S. James, of Laurens Lrecl
the first ebot at Fort Sumter, which
precipated the war between the
States. Cnpt. James, was afterwards
Commandant of James, battalion,

firing the first shot at F^ri Sumter
has been claimed for a number of
different people, but let us hope that
Gen. Stephen D. Lee ha3 settled that
question for all time.

The best mutton breeds are not the

the sheep does not sff cfc its production
