The warrant charges that Mr. Roper "did wilfully, maliciously, without just cause, un mercifully whip one Mattie Lesley, and did thereby commit the offense of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature." We thought the occurance such an unusual one that we gave what we could of the case. The preliminary is set for Thursday. In justice to Mr. Roper we make the above correction. -On September 3rd a number of Rural Carriers met in the city hall at Easley and organized a county asso. ciation with the following officers: J. 0.

Earle is a good salesman and his employers know a Igood thing when they see it, so have ad vanced him from the general stock salesman to- an exclusive line. This enterprising firm carries as big and complete line of clothing, shoes, hate and gents' furnishings as any house in Greenville, and have put the prices on their goods at such a figure that you cannot help but buy if you drop in and get prices.

Mrs. Ohappell was the oldest person in the county; her maiden name was Birice; she was married twice and was the mother of 12 children. She was one of the old-time women who believed in the simple home reme~dies and never had a physician in hea house in her life; she had never seen a railway train, could not count to one hundred, but learned to count silver money, but did not learn to count paper money. She was always well and hearty and did considerable work up to her death; she spun and wove all the cloth for her clothing, and just a short time before her death was carding rolls to put a piece of cloth in the loom. She wr a quite a character in her way. No one Wv5'uld buy a sailboat with sails thatt could not b~e reefedl.

A OARD) FROM MR. McALISTERI. Centrol, Sept. 3.--Will you please give me space in your paper to than~k my friends for their support given me in the primary election on August 28, 1900.- My friends I hope that my life will ever be such that you will not regret what you done for me. May God bless us all and ever choose our lots for us in His own g~o.l way. I wont down at your will and there isn't a man In this county any more subject to the wvill of the people than I. Hoping that whom the people may elect will servo his constituenls faithful and well, as the Apostle Pat I proved himself by love and truth, and to be worthy of the honor conferre d upon thoem by the people. I know that I conducted my pat t of the campaign upon the hiighet t sta-ue, ever holding fast to the truth and condemuing the wrong. Mr. Editor, I want to explain some things brought against me wvhiet were untrue regarding to the Gassa way bridge. It wasi circulhted thai it. wae inferior work that causedi to fall in the river, which I say wva a positive lie on the gossipers part Tha wrkmainshin fo.: that bridm >Seed. 3h stock of >Wn Buist's 1. The b-st received sow them. Drug Co. was as complete ak any in -the county. It was built by estelases ineohalas. And the cause of its falling iWas due to the fact that it was unnecessarily high and for the lack of brace through carelessness some of the workmen knocked loose .- It cost the county nothing-to take It and.rebuild the bridge. - It.-was my job. I.- at. tended to my -'busibess and if the gossiper will: do the same he will have a heavy load thiough the sand. So I think It very unjust to me unless I had done some wrong. I think I have a shoe that fits the gossiper and if it don't fit don't wear it, but it will fit the right one, and the liar will wear it and if he don't it's a good fit any way. Mr. iditor, if he is not o4atisfied tell him I have one ear at the phone and just to ring and I'll hear, that's all. Yours respectfully, 9 AIIter. Thore Has le-en Only 14 IiozCq a!.. From Out of Total of 23, Wh.ch Leaves the Hesnit Doubtful for some of the County Candidates. The second. primary passed off very quietly yesterday. The results heard from ao far.show.a very heavy vote polled for a second primary. Anse', for Governor, Layons, for -Attorney 'General; enid Sullhvan, for Railroad Cuminissioner, will carrj Pickens county by a handsome ma jority. For the House 'of Representutives Hinton has a good lead and is con ceded the election. I 'oper, for CNUnty Supervisor, has no doubt been elected. The office of County Oommissioner was wvon by Mcore, while Garvin, for County Treasurer carried the county by a good majority. The only office in doubt is the State Senator's; Qarpenter leading by a very small margin. It will take the official count .to determine the result. The precincts not yet heard from are all small and will not likely change the final result except In the case of Senator. Since writing the abiove we are in formed that Ansel is leading witb S about 10,000 to the good. Counterfeit Silver Money. Two conw t rfelt silver dollars were a picked up on the streets of Easley several days ago. The officers hiave a been very diligent but -have not been able to find out positively where they camne from There is a general belief, that some traveling man .worked them off on a hotel porter during the night before inexchange for whis key. The negro could . niot tell, In the dark, that. the money wasA counterfeit, but as soon as daylbght came he saw that he had been vic 8 timized and decided that it would not be safe for him to keep the is money in his possession and juit threw it away. This is the theory that is entertained by a number of the Easley folks, The counterfeit money was of very crudo wvorkmanship. 4: NEW BANK STAIRTS AT CENTRAL. Mr. Horace J.
