I " ? The Times is in receipt of a
very interesting communication
concerning the recent revival
in Sprattville, but cannot publish

(writer failed to sign his, or her,

. ?Our readers will please excuse
the small amount of local
news in this issue of The Times.
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

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.

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

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.

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.

who were married July 4th
