Local News
Mr. B. F. Clark lost a fine
milk cow Monday.
Mrs. M. E. Threatt is having
her residence remodeled.
Mr. H. J. Ogburn, who has
been at Mallory, S. C., for several
months, has moved to Tatum,
where he has a position as book
keeper. His wife and children
are visiting here for a few days.
All who are interested are
requested to meet at Zion next
Friday morning to clean off the
cemetery.
The ladies of the Baptist
church request that the ladies of
all the other churches in town
cooperate with them in the
Woman's ?*Iissionary meeting
here on August 27th and 28th.
All persons interested in the
care of the cemetery at Antiock
are requested to meet there next
Friday morning and help in
cleaning off the grounds.
By reference to the candidate's
column it may be seen that the
names of G. M. Rodgers and
D. W. Knight have been dropped
and W. P. Odom has been
added. 'Mr. Knight was a candidate
for auditor and Mr. Rodgers
for magistrate. Mr. Odom is a
candidate for representative.
Pour meetings of the county
campaign have been held, and
the candidates are this week reloading
for the meetings yet to
be held. The other meetings
are as follows: Jefferson 18th;
Pageland 19th; Mt. Croghan 20;
Odom's Mill 21; Chesterfield 22.
The first primary will be held
on Tuesday, August 25th.
The protracted meeting is in
progess at Rose Hill church, and
Rev. W. D. Reid, of Stanley
county, N. C., is doing the
preaciiiciK. tie is very plain
and clear in his discourses, and
he is uttering some very cutting
truths. He is an able preacher
and his sermons are logical and
compelling, and there is much
interested in the revival.
Miss Maude Mangum, the little
blind girl who gave a musical
entertainment here two years
ago, will give another in the
school auditorium next Tuesday
night, August 18th. A large
crowd attended before and all
were pleased with her music.
and she was made happy. She
is now a graduate in music, and
therefore much better prepared
than she was at that time. Admission
will be 15 and 25 cents.
She will highly appreciate your
presence.
Mr. John W. Huntley, of Rock
Hill, is visiting old acquaintances
in Union county. He formerly
lived on the farm where Mr.
John Deese now lives, and he
was well known over the county.
He invented a cotton planter
before the war and manufactured
a number of planters in
the spring of 1860, the patent
having been secured the year
before. The planter was verv
much like the Lytch planter.
The main difference was that
the furroWjWas made by a very
small plow and the feed was
operated by a belt instead of a
lever. The Civil war demoralized
the cotton industry and
there was no demand for planters.
In 1872, he contracted
with an impliment manufacturing
company in Charlotte to
make the planters for him. He
says they didn't make the feeding
arrangement just as he specified
and the planters did not give
entire satisfaction. His planters
sold for $15. In the meantime,
others had made improvements
and secured patents on planters
* they could sell cheaper, and he
was forced owt of fhe business.'
*
Mr. T. W. Gregory has sold \
his stock of groceries to Mr. W.
F. Redfearn, who will carry a b
line of groceries in connection
with the market.
Several weeks ago the news ^
was passed along that the- rural
carriers would get n raise of a
$100.00 on July 1st., and all the ^
carriers were requested'to count
and weigh the mail for two c
months. Now the word comes
that the increase will be according
to length of route, amount a
of mail carried, etc. and very few
are getting any raise at all. Npv'
D. F. Little gets four dollars a r
year more and Mr. J. T. Little s
doesn't get any ntore. None of
the carriers at Mnrshvillp apt a r
raise, and only two at Monroe
get a raise. Mr. Adam Peneger
on route one gets $52 more and s
Mr. Secrest gets $4 more. Eleven 1
hundred was the salary for a s
standard route before the raise, N
and they all expected it to be 1
$1,200 after July 1st. Mr. Finley *
is trying to get the raise for
them as it was lirst announced. 1
