j JOINED MORMON CHURCH.
J
A. T. Dwyer Created a Stir for More
S Than a Year.
Many of the people of this section
e will recall the Rev. A. T. Dwyer, who
operated in this section for more than
a year, and who left the Flat Rock
section last summer.
2 Information comes from an Ander;
son gentleman, who states that a
3 Salt Lake paper is on file in the pub1
lie library at Fountain Inn in Greenville
county, and that the paper con0
tains an account of Dwyer joining the
s Mormon church. This is not surprist
ing to many people, as Dwyer had
2 changed his church affiliations quite
a number of times previously. He
r claimed originally to have been a
s Catholic priest, (though the Catholics
deny this,) and in sermons, lec1
tures, etc., he bitterly denounced
t that church. The Catholics came
back at him and printed a whole lot
5 of things, with affidavits attached,
about Dwyer which were anything
i hut nnmnlimoTitnrv \Tnst nf t.his
I controversy was printed in the columns
of the Daily Mail.
I For some months before leaving
! this section Dwyer operated mostly
in the southern section of this coun1
ty, in Abbeville and other counties.
r He lectured and showed moving pic3
tures to both whites and blacks. He
r had many friends who strongly be3
lieved in him and many more who
looked upon him as an adventurer.
I Dwyer had joined the Baptist
church before coming to Andbrson,
. and just before he left he made apj
plication to Cross Roads church at
I Starr to grant him a license to
? preach. The officials of that church
. were making an investigation of the
7 matter when Dwyer left this section.
Dwyer had been preaching and lecturing
a good deal to the negroes,
and many of the whites resented
- this. Just before leaving Dwyer had
: announced that he would address the
- negroes at Mt. Moriah church, five
- miles below the city, and on the
I night in question a number of whites
I gathered at a point along the route
> with some hickory switches in their
t hands. Dwyer got wind of this, and
f did not show up at the colored
I church. He left a few days after
wards. 1
t While in that section Dw*yer made
his home at Mrs. Jos. Long's and a 1
i considerable amount of his belong5
ings are still there.?Anderson Mail.
Kearse News.
[. Kearse, May 6.?On Saturday, May
^ 4th, Miss Cressida Breland enterP
tained quite a number of young people
in an afternoon picnic, on the
beautiful Sycamore lawn, compli- 1
mentarv to Miss May Ceruti, of Columbia,
who is visiting Miss Evelyn
Brabham.
Despite the heavy clouds and light
showers, the girls were looking their
best, and the afternoon and evening
T were most delightfully spent. A perfect
feast of fish, sandwiches, pickle's,
[ salads, cakes and delicious ice cream
was enjoyed. One of the party, of
fastidious appetite, seemed a little
disappointed that the very fine '
, "gator" caught was not prepared and
served. However, try to be consoled
this time and, hereafter, we shall
know better how to please.

of Norway, returned home last SatL

GOOD LUCK IX HORSESHOES.
i Talisman to Ward Off Evil?Shoes
of Gold and Silver.
It is not difficult to understand
t'hy lovers of horseshoes came to
dopt the horseshoe as a talisman
gainst misfortune, says the London
llobe. Horses were considered to
>e especially liable to the machinaions
of witches. This fact stands
iut in all the records of the Lancahire
witches and other evil hags.
If precautions were not taken
hese mischievous witches would ride

tills, and when the owner came to
he stables in the mornings he would
ind his animals in a lather and uterly
exhausted. A horseshoe fasttned
over the stable door was beieved
to ward off such evil.
There is no superstition more
[eeply ingrained in all classes of soiety
than that which is attached to
he horseshoe. As an emblem of
;ood fortune it holds pride of place,
kelson did not disdain to nail a
torseshoe to the mast of the Victory,
n the early part of the nineteenth
entury the horseshoe was very highy
prized, and there were few Lonlon
mansions where it was not dismayed,
while humbler folks were at
;reat pains to fasten it over their
ioors.
Horses were not shod either by
he Greeks or Romans. The ancints
were content with wrapping
ibre cloth round the feet of their
lorses in cold weather, or when it
pas necessary to pass through miry
listricts. Instead of troubling
bout horseshoes they devoted their
ttention to hardening the hoofs of
heir mounts. *
Nero, who ever strove to outdistnce
his contemporaries, caused his
worses to be shod with silver while
is wife's were resplendent with
old, but in no case were nails driven
nto the hoofs. The practice of shoeag
horses by driving nails into the
oofs was introduced into England
y William the Conqueror, but such
practice did not make any headway
or centuries. \
The Indians, who had no superiors
s horsemen, never thought of shoeag
their mounts in any way, and yet.
hey were capable of performing remarkable
journeys over the most difcult
country. The Sandown Derby
ras won by a horse running in a natral
state. The race was run twice
wing to the fact that three horses
made a dead heat on the first occaion.
Prior to the second attempt
he owner of Marden gave orders for
he light plates to be removed from
he hoofs of his nominee, with the
esult that Marden gained a comfortble
victory by three lengths.
Even at the present day in Japan
he modern horseshoe finds a strong
ompetitor in the old-fashioned sanals
made of straw, which are fastned
to the horses' hoofs after the
manner of equine "cricket shoes."
HORSE IN WELL.

Mr. B. F. Flynn came near losing
is fine buggy horse, "Katy Kline,"

Ir. Luther V. Young, 707 Buncombe

arge in an open lot in the rear of
be house when she stepped into an
bandoned well and tumbled to the
ottom, 59 feet below. Fortunately,
he animal was not killed by the long
all, nor seriously injured.
Immediately upon discovering

nd every effort was made to hoist
er to dry land again. Block and
ackle was secured and an arrange- ^
lent rigged up for lifting the mare
odily out of the well. Once she was
aised partly out, but a rope slipped
nd the animal fell to the bottom
gain. There was only about three
r four feet of water in the well, and
ais precluded all danger of the anilal
being drowned, unless she should
ill head-foremost into the hole.
After about six hours of labor,
lose working with the animal decidd
to call Fire Chief Ligon and a
luad of his trusty firemen to the
ascue. An easy matter it would
ave been to get Katy out of the well
ad this been done at first, and much
tbor would have been saved.
Chief Ligon responded to the call
ith two lines of hose. These he atiched
to a nearby hydrant and
laced the nozzle at the bottom of
le well. Within exactly 19 minutes
fter the water was turned on Katy
Lline was prancing about on dry
tnd again. By means of a canvas
:rap underneath her head Katy was
ept from drowning as the water
radually floated her to the surface.
