I " ? The Times is in receipt of a very interesting communication concerning the recent revival in Sprattville, but cannot publish same for the reason that the (writer failed to sign his, or her, name. ?The annual reunion of the Spratt family will be held in the big grove near the home of Mr. W.

The publisher has been without office help this week, and, by having all the work to do, has had but little time to devote to gathering news. ?The weather for the past few days has been about as warm as it usually gets in this section of the country. The thermometer has several times recorded 97 degrees during the day, and the nights, too, have been so warm as to make sleep well-nigh impossible. ?The Times was misinformed the past week as to the condition of the infant of Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Ligon. Instead of having improved, as stated, the child grew worse and died Tuesday afternoon. The burial was made Wednesday in the town cemetery. ? rne tent meeting in Sprattville which had been in progress for four weeks, came to a close Sunday night with one of the most largely attended and best services of the series.

You can now put ten cents' worth of postage stamps on a letter instead of a special delivery stamp, and it will get the same ten-cent hustle on it.

Mr. Theodore Boyd, of Fort Mill township, sends a cotton bloom, plucked on the 3rd instant and observes that the first bloom this year is thirteen days later than last year. ? Not long ago The Enquirer noted the fact that thirteen peaches had been matured in I i forkville this year, and in some I i comments along the line of good . natured bandinage- the Chester ' ! Lantern admitted that this was i thirteen more than had been pro' duced by the whole of Chester I countv. Dr. J. II. Saye, of Sharon, was in Yorkville yesterday, and was thoughtful enough to ' advise us that there are trees at i Bullock's Creek church (Banks Good's) and also on Locust Hill j (the old Emmet Love place) that are pretty well filled with fruit, j Both of these points are quite j high, from 700 to 750 feet above ( sea level, and considerably high or than the country surrounding, j j Dr. Saye remarked that the ma-; ! turing of the peaches under the ; circumstances seem to be con- j I firmatory of what he has been I i told by nurserymen, that peaches should be planted on the highest ridge available and apples on the north side of the hill. Rock Hill Ilcrultl. ?The little child of Mr and ; Mrs. J. I). Glass, of Edgemoor, that was kicked by a horse and so seriously injured about two weeks ago, is improving and there is now more hope of its recovery. ?Thursday night while pas, senger train No. 117, from Kingi ville to Rock Hill, was coming j into the yards here and just aft r the cars had passed White's crossing near the ice factory the j engine ran into an open switch. At that time the train was running about ten miles an hour. As soon as Engineer Davis discovered that his train was on the wrong track he threw the air brakes on, but before he could stop the train the engine had i butted into two empty freight ; cars that were standing on the siding. When the crash came there was a considerable jar, but! fortuately no one was hurt. One passenger, Mrs. J. H. Barton, of ; this city was thrown against a : window and received a slight cut on the forehead. Other passeni gers were shaken up, but none I were seriously hurt. The front part of the engine was badly , dented, the head-light being j mashed up considerably. Con- j I ductor Whisonant was in charge of the train. ? Anderson Duncan, a noirm 7 ? tenant on the place of County Supervisor T. W. Boyd, in the ; Neely's Creek section, met death ! in a horrible manner Tuesday , i afternoon, the 2nd. He was in a lield ploughing1 and started to his home. The mule leaped over ] a ditch and the negro fell from | the animal but got caught in the | gears and the mule took fright, : and ran, dragging and trampling the unfortunate man in a frightful manner. The negro was uni conscious when the mule was finally stopped. Physicians were summoned immediately and did all they could for the injured man, but he lived only a few hours after the accident. Mr. Elder Graham Dead. Mr. Elder (Pat) Graham, whose ;n.. i- .> lllllUhk IW.4 I101.ua 111 these columns last week, died Tuesday morning at 7 o'clock at the home of his father-in-law, Mr. A. H.

Mr. Graham was stricken ill four weeks ago with typhoid fever, which was the immediate cause of his death. i Mr. Graham was 27 years of age and is survived by a wife | and two small children.

I Mysterious Death of a Child. The Charlotte Chronicle tells as follows of the mysterious death near Pineville a few days ago of the little 8-year-old~ son of Mrs. T TJ TVff-?:t?. u ix. men ill. The little boy, with three or ; four other children, had gone inj to the cow Jot, when one of the cows left the rest of the herd and started towards the children. ! The little folks all undertook to s ramble through the fence, and it was not over five seconds before the entire crowd of children ! had gotten safely on the other 1 side except the little boy of Mr. and Mrs Merritt, who was seen lying under the fence. The children were the only witnesses of the death of the little boy and they all declare that the boy was scrambling beneath the fence when he suddenly turned over, his feet jerked several times, and he was dead. The children were terrified and went screaming to the nearest house, and Dr. Reid, of Pineville, was immediately called, but too late. Not a mark or scratch was to be found to indicate that the child had suffered internal injury, and the opinion of the physicians is that the child died of heart trouble. After Mere Immigrants. According to despatches sent out from Columbia, Mr. E. J. Watson, commissioner of immigration, has completed arrangements to make another trip to Europe in the interest of immigration through the port of Charleston. He will sail from New York in-about two weeks, carrying with him his interpreter, Mr. Famea, who is to spend about six weeks working in Belgium. Mr. Watson, himself will make Hying trips to France; Germany, Austria and other countries, but most of his time will, be spent in Great Britain and the Scandinavian ptninsular. He | goes for the purpose of working up freight and passenger cargoes for the ships coming to Charleston. The first ship over will get its return cargo at Charleston if possible, but failing there will go ! to Galveston or some other port promising the best cargo. Our Marriage Law. Again our attention is drawn to the case of a runaway couple who in defiance to the will of their parents, found the desired loop-hole to the matrimonial state j in thS weak and enfeebled marriage laws of South Carolina, says the Charlotte News. In this instance the parents of the bride have instituted suit for abduction against the groom, declaring the girl was under fourteen years of age when decoyed across the border and united in ; wedlock. N No doubt we shall continue to hear of similar cases until the defective and lax laws in South Carolina arc mended. The outlook is altogether discouraging! for the state that attempts to keep the sacred ceremony holy, when every law passed is rendered almost valueless by the faulty laws in a neighboring How lonjr will this menace to the holy vows be endured we j know not. We do know that un-! til South Carolina reforms, until she rises as have other States | and mends a law which is a disgrace and a constant source of J shame not alone to herself, but to other States, there is little use for States in close proximity to attempt to raise the marriage ! institution to the plane demanded by decency and ordered in Holy Writ. The divorce law in South Carolina is admirable- as much so as the marriage low is ahominnhlp Father of 53 Children. Citizens of Elberton, Ga., are to ask President Roosevelt for an anti-race-suicide medal for Elizah Edwards, a negro farmer near Peters Point. Edwards is the proud father of fifty-three children, fifty-one of whom are , living and doing well. He had thirty by his first wife and twen- ; three by his second wife. Edwards is hale and hearty. ?
