CHESTER.
Lantern, June 7: John Frazier, Jr.,
had a- frightful experience with a
reaper and binder Wednesday, on account
of which he will be laid up for
repairs for some time. "While near
where the reaper was at work, one of
the lines dropped down and he ran in
to pick it up and hand it to the driver,
not thinking of the reel, which struck
him and threw him in front of the
knives. Deep and long gashes were
cut both below and above the knee on
one leg. His fatner, who was some distance
off, was naturally terrified when
he saw the situation; but was glad to
find the injury no worse than it was.
Who are the purchasable voters?
We had a constitutional convention and
arranged to get rid of the ignorant,
purchasable Negro vote. Recently,
however, there has been a good deal of
talk about a campaign fund?a corrupt5/\r*
funrl What matorlfll ia this fnnH
expected to operate upon? Have we
still a purchasable vote? Who are the
voters that are for sale? Are they
"wool hat boys" or "conservatives?"
Let us have an investigation, determine
who they are. and call another
convention or submit an amendment.
Major J. W. Reed took advantage
of the reunion to visit two cousins
in Mississippi whom he last saw before
50 and 51 years ago. He could
hardly look across the years that had
elapsed since he saw them as little
girls, and realize that they are grandmothers.
He had a glorious time with
his fair cousins. An opportunity to
visit them was the real inducement to
go to Memphis, and he feels that he
was repaid several times the cost of
the trip. Major Reed thinks the Memphis
people did everything that could
be expected to make the veterans enjoy
the occasion Messrs. Robert Conrad
and Alex. Gladden returned Wednesday
afternoon from the reunion, much
pleased with their trip. They went
over into Arkansas to visit relatives.
They say there is some rich land there,
and some that is worthless, and the
people are doing just what our grandfathers
did here?plowing their land up
and down hill, running it down, throwing
it out, and clearing more. It may
be remarked here that our forefathers
did not neglect to hand down much of
their wasteful disposition to this generation.
Good open land in Arkansas
rents for $5 an acre by the year, while
pretty fair unimproved land adjoining
can be bought for $3 an acre. Messrs.
Conrad and Gladden say they sew no
small grain while they were gone that
will begin to compare with that on the
Sandy River road between here and
Lowrysville. Mr. Conrad says, all
things considered, he much prefers
farming in South Carolina. Wherever
he goes he find that there is a great
deal more in the management of the
farm than in the the strength of the
soil. Mr. Gladden did not commit himself
definitely as to his opinion of the
two states' comparative merits for
farming purposes. Each of these gentlemen
brought a souvenir in a ratan
cane, and Mr. Gladden has the antlers
of a four year old buck Mr. Robert
Conrad got an idea in Arkansas on
the cultivation of cotton, which he is
going to try on his own crop at once.
It is customary here to side cotton,
lpnvinf n narrow ridce thpn rhon it
out. As the surface earth is cut away,
the root is left bare where nature does
not intend it to be exposed, it dries
and shrivels, and the growth of the
plant is stunted, an injury from which
it does not recover until after the "dirting"
process, thus losing valuable time
from its growth. This is merely introductory
to what we started to tell.
These Arkansas farmers plow their cotton
twice before they hoe it. After
siding it. they put on a 12-inch heel
sweep or bow. and shaving the edge
of the furrow made in siding, the earth
is thrown up about the cotton, covering
the young grass and leaving the
cotton on a sharp ridge, in the best
possible shape for the hoe. It matters
not how much of the cotton is covered,
care being taken only to leave a stand.
After a few days the grass that is
covered is dead, and the chopping need
not remove the earth deeper than the
original surface, so that the cotton is
left standing erect with the roots unexposed.
Every farmer knows something
about the trouble in dirting cotton
when the roots are all bare and
the stalks are lying on their sides, and
in every direction at that. This other
plan promotes the early growth of
the cotton, gives more time for hoeing
and makes it easier. We hope some of
our farmers besides Mr. Conrad will
try it and report the result.

Gastonia News, June 7: A pretty
home wedding was celebrated at McAdenville,
Wednesday night, at the
home of Mrs. Wm. Wright, when
Charles Forest Stowe, of King's Moun1
tain, was married to Mrs. Wright's
pretty daughter, Miss Mattie Wright.
Rev. J. L. Vipperman performed the
ceremony The new town council
met last night. The most important
action was the re-election of the police
force: I. N. Alexander, chief; T. N.
Williams, day policeman; Wylie Carroll
and C. E. Russell, night policemen
Captain J. D. Moore went to Lenoir,
today to take charge of the force working
on the mill so that Jacob Jenkins,
the foreman, can come home tomorrow
and arrange to move his family to Lenoir,
next week. They will probably
move about Tuesday, and will spend
the summer there The little, week
old child of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Laughridge

She leaves a husband and two children,
one only a few days old. Mrs. Harvell,
Mrs. Keatchie's mother, was here and
took the children to her home at
Mooresvllle, where she will keep them.
The remains were carried to Mooresville
yesterday for burial The appearance
of smallpox in the county
again has called for precaution. The
county board of health, Tuesday, decided
to buy the pest house belonging to
Gastonia. It was understood that the
town would sell. Chairman Pegram
was instructed to buy, but the town
prefer not to have the smallpox
so near us. The Cherryville patient
is in the pest house. We
have no smallpox in and around
Gastonia Scott Brown, of Blacksburg,
moved his family into the
Falls House Wednesday, and took
charge of that excellent hostelry. Mr.
Brown is also proprietor of the Cherokee
Inn at Blacksburg, and will conduct

time here. Mr. Brown has spent his
life as a hotelist and has had charge of
some of the best in the country, and

Messrs. Simmons and Wilson, the popular

who was recently a clerk in the hotel,
will probably spend part of his time
here. He Is a brother-in-law of Mr.
Brown. Mr. Stewart left Wednesday
for Augusta, where he has a position
in the Albion hotel The board of
county commissioners, Tuesday, ordered
an election in Gastonia and South
Point townships on the issue of $75,000
in road bonds in each township. To
carry this appropriation will require a
malority of the registered voters, voting
in favor of the issue. They will be
30 year bonds bearing 5 per cent interest.
In Gastonia township, one fourth
of the proceeds will be used on the
roads in the town of Gastonia. Convicts
from the town can. on agreement,
be worked on township roads. In
Gastonia the township roads commissioners
are, if the bond issue is carried,
Jno. W. Love. S. N. Boyce and T. W.
Wilson. The bonds cannot be sold for
less than par. It is claimed that at the
present rate of taxation a sinking fund
can be created which will pay the
bonds when due.
CHEROKEE.
Gaffney Ledger. June 7: A little
child of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Edwards,
of this city, died Wednesday afternoon
at the home of its parents. No. 1221
Limestone street. It has only been
sick a short while: but it was in the
clutches of diphtheria, and that disease
is not long in working its fatal will
Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Whisnant, of
Blacksburg. are just now mourning
over the loss of a son whose death was
the result of carelessness in a companion.
As we learned the facts, young
Clarence Whisnant was at work In
Columbus, Ga., at the time of his
death. On Sunday morning last he
was in his room in company with a
friend, who. probably was his roommate.
This friend got out a pistol and
began "playing" with it, and in some
manner accidentally discharged it, (as
is generally the case,) the ball entered
the body of young Whisnant. The unfortunate
young man lived until Monday,
when he breathed his last. His remains
were brought home to Blacksburg
and interred in the cemetery at
that place. Mr. Whisnant was 25 years
of age; he was a bright, energetic and
industrious young man. and his tragic
death was a heavy blow to his family,
as well as a source of deep sorrow to
his numerous friends in Blacksburg.
Inoali.s' Virws on Dbath.?In the
Democracy of the dead all men at last
are equal. There is neither rank nor
station nor prerogative in the republic
1 of the grave. At this fatal threshold
the philosopher ceases to be wise, and
the song of the poet is silent. Dives
relinquishes his millions and Lazarus
his rags. The poor man is as rich as
1 the richest, and the rich man as poor
1 as the pauper. The creditor loses his
usury, and the debtor is acquitted of
his obigations. There the proud man
surrenders his dignities, the poitician
his honors, the worlding his pleasures;
the invalid needs no physician, and the
laborer rests from unrequited toil.
Here at last, is nature's final decree
' in equity. The wrongs of time are re
uresseu, injustice is expiateu, tne irony
of fate is refuted, the unequal distribution
of wealth, honor, capacity, pleasure
and opportunity, which makes life
so cruel and inexplicable a tragedy,
ceases in the realms of death. The
strongest there has no supremacy, ami
the weakest needs no defense. The
mightiest captain succumbs to the invincible
adversary, who disarms alike
the victor and the vanquished.

SAYING MONEY.
WHEN it comes to saving money
on the Dry Goods and things that
you have to buy. it is more than proba
oie irun \vh can .save you more money
than any store in York county. Why?
Because, we buy in large quantities;
we buy our poods very close; our expenses
for rent, clerk hire, etc., are
lower than in the larger towns, and
then, too. we do not have any taxes to
pay on water bonds, electric lights, etc.,
which serve to make more expense.
These expenses always make your purchases
come higher, and it stands to
reason that we can save you money because
we can run our business at a
much smaller per centage of profit.
And then, too, please remember, that
while we will sell you for less money,
we will not sell you any shoddy stuff or
trash, out strictly first-class, up-to-date
and stylish goods. See us before you
buy anything in our line and we will
prove our claims.

IEMEMBER THE DEAD?
[ HE LIVING CARE FOR
THEMSELVES.
ITT" HEN you remember the dead of
TT your family, you show to the
vorld that your love for them is not
purled with the body. It is a duty you
we yourself and to the one that is
;one, to place a neat Monument or '?
tombstone over the last resting place
?f departed loved ones. To do this the
xpense is not great, and it shows to
he world that your love for the dead is
is lasting as stone. If you have relaives
buried in unmarked graves do not
et it remain so, when the expense of
narking the grave properly is so small. A
Set my prices and see the styles of
vork I have to offer you.
