Would not our hoard of equaliza

owners are only waiting for a good
opportunity to sell at fancy prices,
and not one cent of their supposed

It is a curious thing to us that
some folks don’t know how to behave
themselves. There occurred a very
shameful thing on our public
highway not long ago. The idea of a
half dozen sensible men going up and
down the road cursing and swearing
like they were a gang just arrived
from the lawless regions. They
should be ashamed of themselves and
anybody that thinks anything of
themselves should’nt countenance
them, though it don’t take much of
the dispensary stuff to make a man a
fool. We hope to hear of no more of
this kind of doings.

Anderson, April 2G.—While the j
church belle were pealing forth their
invitations to the inhabitants of An
derson to come forth and worship to
day, Henry Williams was making a
forcible entrance into the store room
of our popular groceryman, F. A.
Austin. Mr. Camp, who occupies a
room in the Chiquohi hotel, happened
to glance out of his window and dis
covered the thief in the act of enter
ing from the rear. The windows
were protected by a number of cross
bars of iron and Williams hud man
aged to squeeze himself through
when a policeman was summoned and
the gentleman gathered in. He was
found to he a lad about 18 years of
age and right fresh from the chain-
gang. having finished his sentence on
last Friday. I guess when ho found
himself free he felt like he was out M
his element and was lonesome, so he
concluded he would return home,
which he will probably do tomorrow.
A party will leave here tomorrow
for a week’s fishing on the Bee Dee.

Cotton is coming up beautifully.
I never saw a prettier prospect,

USES HIMSELF FOR AN ILLUS
TRATION.
He Takes a Text From St. Mark and
Comments Very Freely on the
Inconaistency of Church
Members et al.
“And John answered him, saying.
Master, we saw one casting out devils
in thy Name, and ho followeth not
us, and we forbade him, because he
followeth not us.’
But Jesus said, ‘Forbid him not,
for there is no man, which shall do a
miracle in my Name, that can lightl}*
speak evil of me.
For he that is not against us, is on
our part.’ ’’—Mark 9:38-39-40.
This here is a mighty dog gone big
but I’m not the
clutv—flaw
text fur me to tackle
man to shrink from my
picking.
In the first place 1 find one in this
man John, an so did Christ. Of
course, Christ was a good feller an
hated to insult John, but I—if 1 had
bin Christ, or rather in his stead, an
endowed with the power he had, I ex
pect 1 would have taken the big head
an kicked the seat of John’s britches
all around thar—he needed it, but
Christ wasn’t the man to do the job.
But ole John turned out to be a purty
good feller after all. But it was u
dirty low down trick in him to stop
the progress of Christianity by for-
biddin’that oilier feller to cast out
devils in the name of Christ—jist be
cause the ot her feller didn’t d** his
way, or the way he thought was
right.
If Christ has forgiven John, I have
too, and to make my pints quick I
wili come closer home an say that
ministers an’ church members of to
day need twice as much of what ole
John needed an didn’t git—a good
frailin’.
Ministers an disciples git in the
pulpit an run down other denomina
tions because they dont believe their
way. Now, I want you to understand
1 ain’t no Catholic, Jew, Mormon nor
nothin’ else, (but u doggone good
banjer an flaw picker) but I despise
to hear a man—I don’t care who he
is—git up an vilify another denomi
nation. Ef I don’t like Catholics an
their mode of worship I’m not goin’
to “forbid them not.” They have
got as good a right to their Opinion
as we have to our—we don’t know
what pleases Christ best.
An cf I don’t like the Mormons I’ll
put up with good ole Mrs. Flaw
Bicker an let the Mormons and their
seven wives go their way.
1 believe in love an unity among
the churches, an ef it’s not thar the
devil has a prominent seat in that
church.
If I was a member of the church
an my pastor got to vilifyin’ other
denominations I’d mighty quick tell
him that he was like ole John—al
ways medlin’ in Christs' business.
It’s not for us to say who’s right an
who’s wrong and a man is a fool that
undertakes it.
LL. Ds., M. Ds., I). Ds., citizens,
countrymen an the masses in gmneral
are all gettin’ acquainted with ole
Flaw more or less. From the kid
coons up to the Rt. Revs., all seem
to recognize him. Now. 1 tell you
what’s a fuck, this sort of bisness
won’t do,, because. I’m beginniu’ to
notice it. I’ve nigh about got it
fixed up in my head that Ben Tillman
would bow as graceful to ole Flaw as
he* would to a feller who he thought
would vote fer him—Cleveland did.
When ho went through Galfney on
his way to Atlanta that time you jist
ort to have seed him a bowin’ to me
—well now, 1 reckon he did, I was
in the crowd an—er—lie bowed any
way.
A man has to have a mighty cool
brain an level hciul not to turn a fool
when everybody gits to payin’ atten
tion toj^im—that Is, ef he aint a fool
already—but you can say what you
please about ole* Flaw hit won’t—
well, if it don’t do him no good I’m
shore it can’t possibly do him no
harm, you understand.
Hit’s big “I” an little “r,” or
most especially big “I,” in every
man’s soul an nature, an ef it’s ever
got out of him it will he a big job fer
God only to undertake, an when he
does u turn-key job on the man he’s
a downright Christian ef thar ever
was one. Keligin is built on love, an
when u man gits so he can leave off
that big “I” an little “t ” an “love
thy neighbor as thy seif,” he’s got a
whole dog house full of it—a iiulT to
curry him to heaven at any rate—er
—1 mean, so long us he keeps a
lovin’.
The above paragraph brings to my
mind a short conversation I hud with
a feller one day in Galfney, We met
one of the colored knights on the
street who gave us a pleasant bow
an of course I said “howdy Uncle,”
uu we passed on. Druckly wo passed
another an the same act was re
peated and after wo had passed he,
(my companion)says, says he:
‘‘Flaw, you spoaK. to every d
nigger you meet, what makes you do
it?”
“O, because, hit aint much trouble
to me, and then besides, I don’t
think it hurts a feller very much to
speak to ’em. A man that won’t
speak to humanity won’t speak to the
God that put 'em here.”

Pacolet Points.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Pacolet, April 25.—It is always
pleasant to meet old and true friends
after a long separation.
We attended church at Wesley
Chapel not long ago where we wor
shipped eighteen years ago. We
missed many once familiar faces.
They have passed over the river of
death and their places are row filled
by the young people. We enjoyed
the services in the church very much
and the hand shaking with friends
and acquaintances.
On our return home we found an
urgent request to go Clifton where
we found a very interesting meeting
in progress under the wise leadership
of the indefatigable Rev. J. L. Harley.
The pastor of the Pacolet Mills
Methodist church preached for four
days and nights. On Sunday and
Sunday night the power of God rested
upon the vast audience. I learn
that the meeting was continued dur
ing the next week with grand results.
At Trough Shoals the Methodists
began a meeting on the 2nd Sunday
last.by Rev. G. M. Boyd and Rev. W.
B. Baker came on Monday preaching
with great power and influence till
Thursday when ho was taken quite
sick and the pastor took hold of the
meeting and run it till Friday night.
Rev. Mr. Langston preached Friday
and Saturday night. His sermons
and his sweet Christian spirit won
their way to the hearts of many.
Who could but love such a Christian
gentleman? While I write he is in
bed very sick. We hope he will be
up and out soon. The Rev, Felmer
also gave us a good sermon. Ho is
the beloved pastor of Brown’s Chapel
Baptist church. ‘-Behold how good
and pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity.”
A narrow, bigoted, selfish Christ
ian (?) would feel very lonesome here.
So mote it be. Amen.
The Rev. M. M. Boyd, the father
of Rev. G. M. Boyd, is in our city.
It is wonderful how setive* he is. He
is in Jiis 91st year and still preaches
the gospel to deeply interested
crowds. He will be here for some
time.
The Methodist parsonage is com
pleted here and the pastor has
moved in and he has one of the most
delightful homes of any of the
preachers in the Spartanburg dis
trict.
This community is certainly ahead
of any I know of anywhere both as
to Christian unity and liberality.
Long ago the dues to the church
here have been paid in full and the
assessment for domestic and foreign
missions have been paid in full and
the pastor has nothing to do with the
collections.
There will be a splendid Methodist
church built here soon. The Pacolet
Manufacturing Company will aid
greatly in its construction, in fact
this Company seems to have their
hearts fully set on the apirtual as
well as the material upbuilding of
its people. I could name many of
these gent lemon who are at the head
of the affair who are shaping the
destiny of thin people. Long may
their banners wave in full success in
every laudable way.

.Maud, April 27.—Nature seems to
have taken April into its most fond
embrace and has kissed our groat
South land into supernal beauty and
the young people are talking love'of
the flowers which the God of nature
is so abundantly bestowing upon us
in the most flowing language. Yes
our Creator is teaching us a lesson of
tenderness. Oh how we ought to
harmonize and in unison submit to
his laws.
The farmers are rejoicing over the
advance in their work and the rapid
manner in which the seeds are ger-
manating, and the wheat fields were
never so flattering. May we all look
out and work to be filled with grati
tude.
W. Y. Elliot and wife and baby
went to Gaffney Saturday and dined
with W. T. Thompson. Mr. Elliottis
very fond of his fine, intelligent look
ing baby. He has bestowed senatorial
honors on him in the name of Irby.
He says his baby has displayed great
oratorical powers already and he
hopes to see him a great orator.some
day.
Willie Ruppe, the Thickety Moun
tain King, is againfpersuing valuable
discoveries in watermelon planting.
He is also spreading out for a large
crop of tobacco. He has a fine start
already. Ho will grow the earliest
crop of the country of a second grade.
In the full he covers the old stubs
with leaves and pine straw and thus
gets an early crop.
It looks now as if the all cotton
system had been adopted here again.
We.regret to chronicle the sad end
of another one of our young men, the
death of Hunt Turner. We are not
familiar with the details which, may
appear from another pen, but wo
wish to say that wc extend our sym
pathy to the broken hearted parents
us we remember the command of
Divine wisdom, “Forsake not the law
of thy mother.”
We regret to learn of the danger
that our worthy friend A. C. Robbs,
experienced last Friday evening while
fording Cherokee creek at the new
furnice crossing on his return from
Galfney. The stream was swollen by
the rain so that the water overflowed
his buggy and he and his horse were
almost swept down the stream. A
few of his goods were washed from
the buggy and floated away, but re
tentive mind helped him to surmount
the difficulty and get out safe. We
hope however that nothing serious
will follow i;i the way of cold or sick
ness.
We are glad to say for our Sunday
school at Fairview that the opening
is fine and the attendance good. Let
every member try to make one round
pull and strive to exc<*Il all the rest.
The Furnice pond is a lovely resort
for the young people, with its gentle
breeze ladened with the fragrance of
wild flowers. Gleaner.
