Wingo Illackwell had a black otto in town Saturday. He caught him ; near his home on Clary creek- T. Davenport has put a delivery j wagon to work. The increasing trade J of the “cheap store” demands it. Work will soon be commenced on Dr. W. C. Hamricks new house on Limestone Street. It will be a daisy. i A. I.

Elmore is popular and will be a good acquisi- i tion to the force of C. A C. Anyone can understand that Editor Gantt is only endeavoring to be sar castic about the new county. If not, his reasoning is most absurd. It is pitiful to see Mr. (Jarlington of the Spartanburg Herald trying to array our neighbors, the “farmers,” against our town. It is not like a Garlington. Ike Smith says he has not spoken to Editor Gantt in three years and therefore could not have made any proposition to furnish ground for a court house at Thickety. Rev. A. J. Cauther, presiding elder of this district, preached at the Methodist church last Saturday and Sunday nignts. The sermons on both occasions were of the highest quality. Our friend Garlington, of the Spar tanburg Herald, looks out of his role ,tying to array “farmers” against a lO'wn. He may continue his trick }Ut it wont work. The new county poming.

C., Sept. 17.—I am au thorized bv the members of Macedo nia church to return their heartfelt thanks unto you for the skillful abil ity and neatness displayed in striking our pastorial tickets. They were of a superior quality of paper and the printing was of that plain and simple nature which always adorns anything in its highest form. Messrs. James Swafford, Lundrun Clary and Calvin Sellers all say *f a man wants to be successful in his undertakings lie should always make his wants and wishes known in The Ledger office. There wasn't but one man that found any fault with our tickets and that was Doc Turner, but we always have to allow a little for him. Our elec tion was a one sided affair, Bro. fate being unanimously elected pastor of this church for another year. J. L. Clary let out the contract last Saturday for the building of a new bridge across 1 hickety creek near A. Harris’. It was let out to the lowest bidder and was knocked off on A. Harris for !{'(i(i.OO. The young hero whom Joe Richards cut loose from a grape vine a few weeks ago says t hat he is not going to bo bulldozed any longer by such men us H. I). Wheat, A.N. Wood and Alfred Harris. He says that he is not going to sell his cotton at the present prices. He lias bought a second hand three horse power engine and says he is intends to build a factory and manufacture his own cotton into plaids, sea island cloth and cotton checks. Billie says he can store these goods away in his ware house for about two years and cause the prices in dry goods to rise in Liver pool and Boston, then he will let his goods slide and get the benefit and credit of the advance prices. Marion Gardner, who is one of the most jocular boys in this section, went to a colored church one night not long since and listened to Rev. Miles Martin preach a regular break down sermon. After services were over and the people all started home Gardner and Martin had to travel the same road for about a half a mile. Marion stepped on a large rock on purpose and fell over and hollered and groaned and told the preacher that his ankle was knocked out of place. He said Martin pulled off his shoe and took hold of his foot and tried to straighten it. Marion said Martin dragged him all over his cotton patch trying to get his ankle back in place. Finally Martin took Gardner took on his shoulder and carried him home and put him to bed and told Mrs. Gardner that her hus band was badly hurt. Of course Marion would not let the preacher leave without his supper. He had his wife to set out a quart of good old corn liquor and plenty of sugar and told Rev. Martin to help himself. Martin robbed the bottle of about one third of its contens. eat a hearty supper and went his way rejoicing. A. W. Smith and T. C. Huskey are making molasses in a rush. A. Harris is well equipped for gin- hing cotton this season. He has a new engine and boiler, a new press, a new gin and a new gin house. He is a whole-souled chap in the way of accomodating his neighbors providing they will pay him for it. Richmond Stacy’s school was out last Saturday. He is a good teacher and is liked by pupils and patrons. L. T. Clary is making the fog rise j from his cigars. When he gets his lips puckered up on one you can see tiie fire shinning on the top end of it like a lightningbug in a hollow log. Ci NMNG Little Joe. Pleasant Grove Paragrabhs. [Correspondence of Tin: Ledger.] Pleasant Grove, S. C., Sept., 17.— Wood wagons are running again. Rev. Twitty Thompson filled his appointment at the Grove the second Sunday and had a good congregation. Mr. N. S. and R. D. Allison of this section sold a new hale of cotton the other day at N cents. Cotton is opening with a rush. Molasses making is on a boom here. The little child of Mr and Mrs. Romless Ellis passed away the first instant. W. J. and C. J. Daniel and I. G. Huskey have D. R. Lavendur’s gin rented for this season. C. J. Daniel of this place is in a critical condition, the result of over heating himself. We hope he will recover soon and be up again. W e see brut,her Flaw Picker in the ring again. We wish him success in all his fodder pulling and canvassing journeys. Hurrah for the eight page Ledger. farmer. — • — It may Do As Much for You.

The malingers have builded wiser than they knew, and everything concerning it seems to prosper. It will be a great show and a great school. I wish that every youth in this Southern land who is over 10 years of age could visit it. They would learn more in a day than they can learn in a year from hooks. The sight is the very best receptive of knowledge. The best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to study art is to see things made by the artist or the me chanic. I see that a Philadelphia hose- house will have silk worms there making their cocoons and will reel the silk from them and spin and weave it into cloth and will sell you a cravat for a song. I make mention of this because when I was a lad my father carried on that same business of making silk in Lawreneeville, Ga., and for three years I had to pick mulberry leaves in their season and feed them to the greedy worms. I had to got up before day and go to the morns mnlti- caulus orchard and pick the leaves while the dew was on ami carry them in sacks to the silkhousw and scatter them all over the hurdles and the greedy worms would eat them all up before breakfast. The big worms that were two to two and a half inches long wort* kept in one row of hurdles and were given the coarser leaves; smaller ones were graded down according to age and the little worms, half an inch long, had to have the young and tender leaves. When tin* worms were full grown and had devoured till they had stuffed themselves with mul berry fiber they settled down to business and spun their winding sheet in the shape of a cocoon. Those cocoons were beauti ful little things, about as large as a pecan nut and of the same shape. They were of different colors. Some were pure white, some green, some pink, some red, some yellow and all were bright and glossy. The worm got smaller as he wrapped his web around him, and by the time the cocoon was done it had changed its shape and turned into a chrysalis, an ugly brown thing that had neither head nor tail visible, it passed into a coma tose condition for awhile and them came to life again and cut its way out of the cocoon in the shape of a butterfly or large fluttering moth and crawled about over the hurdles to find some place to lay its eggs. These eggs soon hatched out little silk worms that went to eating leaves just like their greedy ancestors. But we dident wait for many to cm their way out of the cocoons. We put them in a pot of hot water and they staid coma- bee all the rest of their lives. We would have perhaps a hundred cocoons floating on tin* top of the hot water and with a tiny brush would catch up the delicate fibers of silk from thirty to forty cocoons and make a thread of till of them, to gether. and having fastened that thread to i red close by we would turn the reel just like our grandmothers used to turn it in winding spun truck—turn it until it clicked and then take the cut off and begin again. Just so, we reeled the raw silk and kept putting more cocoons in the hot water. Ip this way we reeled off every bit of tin* winding sheet and left tin* ugly dead chrysalis floating on the water. When they accumulated so as to be in the way we skimmed them out and threw them away. This is only an outline of the business, pud I want the young folks to see how the thing is done from the tiny little egg to the raw silk upon the reel and from there to the loom. My father was a pio neer in the morns multiealus eraze, as it was called, and I think the only man in Georgia who made silk and sold it. I remember that one year he sold $000 worth at one shipment and he sold some other smaller lots. He would have con tinued the business but his trees took the “die back” or something and he had to give it up. It was said that the continued stripping of the leaves will kill them in about three years, for the leaves are the lungs of plants and they can't keep on making new lungs just to please silk worms. These trees were grown from cut tings and we began to strip them the second year, when they were about as large as a broom handle. They had no branches and were about as far apart as young apple trees in a nursery. We strip ped them like pulling fodder, coming down With both hands and leaving only a few leaves at the top. It would have been good fun if it had not been UM>aotoiious and required so much of Bon Franklin’s advice about “early to bed and early to rise,” etc, I .-haven’t gotten over that jiabit yet, but it hasont made me wealthy or wise, I never have found out how one worm can get red silk out of a mulberry leaf and another out* will get white or yellow. I heard Capt. Kvan Howell make a speech once and ho got eloquent and humble as he said: “My friends, we are helpless and ignorant creatures. We know nothing hardly about the mysteries of nature that art* all around us. The goo<| lsM>k says; ‘Great is the mystery of godliness.’ We can’t tell why it is that when a goose eats grass the grass turns to feathers and when a horse eats grass it turns to fiair and when a sheep eats grass it turns into wool." And he might have added and when a worm eats mulberry leaves it turns to silk. The exposition lias been a great strain Upon Atlanta, hut that town is smart and ganny and will make it a grand suc cess. When the scheme was first pro mised we outsiders never said anything to dlseourage it, but we smiled and whis pered was there ever such cheek. Right after the great Chicago Fair and right in the middle of a financial panic for a little city of only 100,0(1 people to propose such an absurd scheme is perfectly ridic ulous. And to think of the impudence of asking for the patronage of the national government and an appropriation. But the managers kept right on and have never faltered for a moment. And they got the Smithsonian institution and the Liberty boll and they seriously dis- ciiMied lie* practicability of borrowing the Bartholdi statue of liberty from New York harbor and putting it up in Clara Mocr. I see that the hotel department is all right and that tfie visitors will be fed ami sheltered decently. There has b«*cn ft liltle tlirtation going on about the stnft rnr lines charging 10 cents, lint thnt is rl] bttniomb, 1 rrclrtm. It fa a Tfrto W* rumpus about a very little matter and 1 reckon will die out after a few more have had their say. It is a very amusing idea for a South Carolina man and a Bruns wick proreher to write up and say they will not come to the fair nary step if the street car fare is raised to 10 cents. Why, this is a free country and those gentlemen can stay at home or they ran come and patronize the Southern railroad that will charge 10 cents, too. It does not seem to he the price, but it is the raise that arouses their indignation. But this little episode will all settle* down. It reminds me, however, of the time when we proposed to build a public academy in Rome and it was to cost The boys had put me forward to run for Mayor and the issue was “academy” or “no academy.” Of course, 1 was for progress and the jioisiest and bitterest enemy I had to contend with took the streets and declared that I would tax the people to death, and he for one was not going to stand it. Looking over the taxbooks at his sworn return of his property I found that Ids part of the academy would be 47 cents. So 1 pleas antly showed him the figures and told him I would pay his part if he would hush—and ho hushed. Now let everybody hush about this ear faro business, for the people are tired of it and in these parts are not making any fuss about it. It will cost our people from $2 to $.‘5 each to go to the fair and enjoy the day and come hack home mid talk about it for a month and we are not going to miss it for cents; we are not built that way. I should think it would remind a news paper man of those amusing fellows who ever and anon get mad with the editor to stop their paper, the fair will bust up absence of any man if he has to ears.

BILL ARP. A Homesick “Buster.” [Correspondence of The Ledger] Cedar Mountain. N. C., Sept., Iff.— \Ye have been looking over our Ledger and think it the best paper i’t the south. We always meet the Saturday’s mail and get our paper, for it’s better than a personal letter even to a homesick hoy. Fodder pulling is comirg in fash ion up here, but not after night, as Flaw Bicker’s was, for we’d freeze on these mountains after “Joshua” dis appears. Blacksburg is to Flaw Bicker as Gampobello is in our minds, j They keep Campobello hitched up in , the woods two or three hundred yards from the railroad to keep the cars from running over her. But by in terpretation the word means “beau tiful fields” and the fields are beauti ful but the town was to hunt when we passed by. \\ e hope tnerc will be a new county and Gaffney the county scut. Tin Heraid don,t know what the farmers around Gaffney want or they have lately changed their notion. We were at the ballot box when the con vention was voted on and heard them express themselves. We saw a fawn or young deer to day. They are sure pretty. This one was spotted and it’s ears six inches long. There are u few deer up here but we can’t get to shoot at them until the first of November then we’re going a driving and if we chance to see one we are just as apt to shoot in the contrary direction as any for we know we would be excited beyond measure. We are visiting the famous Buck Forest Hotel today and Mr. Carson, the proprietor can talk to half dozen people at once. We sure like to “poke” our feet under his table. We are enjoying cool weather now and frost is expected every night. Next week will he vacation then we expect to visit a portion ot the town of Brevard—that portion that is not out grazing. We see in the Greenville News that Mr. Gantt, editor of the Headlight, is a special crony of Senator Irby and can foretell the action of the consti tutional convention and that all will be disfranchised who are not worth two hundred dollars. If this be the action the proposer ought to be cow- hided. Does Tillman favor such ac tion? We don’t think so. If such will be the law we will probably stay where we are. “Farmer.” from Bleasent Grove let us hear from you again, and C. F. H.. from Batterson Springs. Why don’t you write more and oftener? Ah ! could we hut view Gaffney from the height of these mountains we would appreciate the view as an aerial flight back to our native home of friends and loved ones. As we are homesick we will stop off till next week. Success to all; Buster - -»•*- •- The Ranks Of The Damned. Larry Gantt, in the Piedmont Headlight, declared the new county movement to be a “dark and damna ble scheme” of the hateful “Antis” to dismember Reform strongholds and build upon their wreck Conserv ative counties.” And before the Headlight could reach Columbia that hateful “Anti,” Ben Tilman, had in- trodifced into the convenion that “dark and damnable scheme,” seek ing to “dismember the Reform strong hold” of Edgefield and “build upon its wreck” the Conservative county of “Mart Gary.” We welcome Ben jamin to the ranks of the damned.— Columbia State. - •- Knights of the Maccabees.

The strain upon mind and muscle, the hustle and wear and tear upon human nature is such that it is a fact every asylum for the insane in every state in the union is crowded, and others knock ing at the door faster than vacancies <*an be made. But it is not the purpose of -this article to discuss the case of t hose who arc committed to the asylums of our laud. But we will tall: n Mttle about such characters ns we speak o7 being "a little off,” or “lie’s a little cracked,” or “he’s not all there,” and such like expressions. This class has multiplied until their name is legion. They walk our streets, attend our churches, frequent political gatherings and ply the various trades of life just as other men. A fond mother sat in my home some time ago and talked to me about her boy. She said he was melancholy at times and acted a little strangely. She knew not what to do with her boy. She had stopped him from school. I read in this morning's papers that that boy, in a distant state, killed his mother and committed suicide himself. The world has not yet learned how to deal with partially demented people. We commit those who become danger ous or helpless to the insane asylum, but when a fellow is “just a little off” he furnishes a problem which is hard to solve. I know some men who arc “a little off” when they are drinking. Some men are considerably “off” when they are mad; some men who have deep melancholy; some men who at all times imagine strange things; some women who have presentiments; and so on. It is demonstrated in the courts of our country that almost every crimi nal who lias money to pay lawyers, and has social standing, proves that he has acted strange at times, and really his friends have noticed many things that were not exactly in harmony with good sound sense and judgment. We have the diseases of kleptomania and dypsomania. Some men are mor bidly conscientious. Some people, no matter what they do or say, if they are criticised their critics are all liars, and that sometimes form themselves into syndicates of li«ar.s to hurt their charac ter or influence. The world don’t know how to deal with a fellow that is “a little off.” The physician has no remedy, seemingly, to reach his case. Some will laugh at his antics, some shake their heads as if to say: “I don’t know about that.” Others will say it is not mental trouble at all; lie is possessed of the devil. But, after all, what is to be done with such characters? How are they to be managed? How are they to be treated? They are not insane enough to be confined. With some of them it is hardly just to society to let them run loose. This is a trouble that takes hold upon rich and poor, black and white alike. Some of our million aires are badly “off their base,” and their friends have to put then, n private asylums. These cases touch the pa thetic side of life and make one feel sad. A great engine with its eccentrics slipped, a magnificent horse lame in one foot, a beautiful physique, and yet, for want of color, they make one think of the dead. The case is a sadly solemn one when friends, with physicians, cannot diag nose it; when at times the mind is clear and strong, at other times it is ec centric and weak; at times the person is kind and gentle and loving, afothtfj times vicious and murderous, perchanot)! in feeling. Sometimes preachers do of' act strangely. Sometimes lawyett* sometimes doctors; sometimes it’s wtfa sometimes its husband; again it is A child of sensible parents that pusile* and worries a fond father or mother. 1 Will a sane man do what many OOA do who are going around loose? I loots at many men in their life and condtteV and think if they are perfectly sane they ought to be made amenaole iqi law. The man who at times mistreots his wife or is cruel to his children! th* son who is cruel to his mother! the daughter who, in spite of pleadings and prayers, correction and coercloft*' will fly the track and do the things most unseemly; the neighbor who talcSl/ up wrong views and holds to them and' acts upon them; the person who always misunderstands you, misjudges you and misquotes you, who is kind and polit^ when he meets you and would do you any dirty deed behind your back. HOW much of the deeds of men may be tributable to pure cussedness, and h< much may be attributable to thel_.. that they are “a little off” Is a que#*' tion for philosophers to settle. Our Saviour once commanded a devlL to come out of a man, and that deTilV name was Legion and he begged tha« he might go into the herd oi sv_ and when he entered then the swi concluded it was better to commit cidc than to live possessed of such 4* demon, and into the sea they went. But the man with the devil cast out ot him was soon clothed and in his right mind, and we hear no further trouble in his case. A great many people hare the devil in them. The devil is a dia* embodied spirit. His supreme effort in this world is to embody himself. Some* times I have seen him get in a horse and the horse would balk and fret and foam. I have seen him get into a hog and you couldn’t run the hog out of the gate to save your life. I have seen him get into a woman and she was a per* feet t3’phoou for the time being. 1 have seen him get into a child and the child would really act like a demon. Do we not need the same Divine pow- er and voice to speak to many peofl# in this world, or to the devils whwtk possess them, and bid them come of a person? And again, we need % master-treatise on how to balance tim’ minds and bring about equilibrinB* when a fellow begins to get “a little off." Some men have been cured ia our asylums, and pronounced well Some die there. Who can minister to a mind diseased? Among the other problems which we propose to handle, let’s handle this one; for this article was inspired by the fearful tragedy which I read this morn ing, where the son, who was considered “just a little off,” murdered his fond mother and then himself, for I believe that whatever involves the peace and happiness of home and the good order of society ought to be discussed more and more in the public press and pul pit. If there is solution to diflicultiea and remedies for troubles, the sooner we find them the better. After all, something is the matter with humanity, and many somethings the matter. We have got to go slower, or got worse. The go and greed and hustle and bustle, the restless roaming spirit has produced trouble in many minds and lives. Sam B. Jones. - • The Largeit American Serpent.
