THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., JULY 2, 1896 3 tEADIN THE NEWS.” That Plain Old “Fomalo Lady” from Down on Panther Greek. Our Aunt Nancy Newton'* Talkln Machinery In tool Runnln Order— A “Treni«indlus llig Scandalatlon” —“Seein Yhingg at Night." Hit is so monstrous seldom like ami rare in this present day and penerntioil of American people that you can meet up with one of these plain old flint-and-steel women—with a head ns lon£ ns a flour barrel and as level as a squash —“l r > hand high, and heavy as buck shot”— till it rpley looks to me like everybody and everything on the place, even to the eats and the dogs, was glad when Aunt Jfancy Newton come up from Panther Creek and showed down at the appoint ed time one day last week. I do believe in my soul that Aunt Nancy—whilst rbe calls herself nothin more and nothin less than a “everyday, she wom an”—would fight her weight in wild cats in case of a pushency. And yet she has got the softest and most hondi- est way of any woman I have ever saw to make j - ou laugh and forget—to let the sunshine in apd shut the shadow* out and wipe the tears away. There Will Re a Funeral Then, phe is so bright, and so newsy, and so fresh; and when she turn* her mouth loose In a runnln conversation she eairspit out more good sense to the square minit than three or four coni’ nion women. With only two eyes and two ears, it is one of the most strangest things in this green old world to me how Aunt Nancy can keep the general run of things for miles and miles prouml, and pick up so much news "comin and a-goin,” as she is so wont to say. Hut that dear, delightful old soul don’t give out no news on her own hook, only that which she has wen with her own eyes. It mought lie that she will sometimes deal in secont-hand news, but in that ease she takes particular pains to tell you where she got the goods, so you can pay your money and take your choice, * “The lord knows I do raley love to talk. Unfits,” says Aunt Nancy to me that night when we went out on the back porch to take a social family smoke. “And jest as long as I can keep my talkin machinery in good runnin order yon are more than prob able to bear from me oncst in awhile. If it ever comes to pass that you mought hear the news that Nancy Newton has quit talkin, you better sad dle your horse or hitch up your mules and come on down to the Panther Creek settlement. The funeral will come ofT at the usual hour, with your Aunt Nancy r'd'm feet foremost at the head of the procession. “I know you have lived a good long whet and learnt a Mholc pnssle in your day, Rufus, hut If you don’t know it already, by the time you have lived as long and looked upon ns many nights and scenes as your Aunt Nancy, you will find out that it don’t pay to talk outside of the family touehin the things that belong to the family. You can make a great h'g mens out of little more than nothin if you only tell the news and heat it hot and keep it goiu and growin. It mought be a little fresli cut, or it mought lie a rale had old sore, but many a time it would heal over and the jieople in general would forget it If you didn’t keep on pickln at It and foolin with it. Two Women In the Case. "Notv, that puts me in mind of the 'roarin big coiifiiKionnient which come jo pass down in the old settlement last Week," Aunt Nancy went on, torectly, "Jiig meet in was goln on over at old Klum church. There was two or three new preachers on hand, and with two •erifionts every day—one in the mornin and ono at first candlelight. They had a great outpnurln and u blessed good meet in. “Over there on the other side of the creek- u mile and a half, or m n vbe a leetle better from the church—Joe Hlev- iu* and Lit (iurviu live on joinin farms. Their families are thick and neighborly as j-ou please, and they have got along together smooth and pleasant like white people ought to do. Hut one night in durin of the meetin at old Khuu Mines Hlevins she was rut her poorly to be out and one of the (Jnrvln children was sick abed of a slow fever. Now, Lit Gnrviq is u shoutin Methodist and never did blow in much time over at old Rlam, where they stick to all over bap tism as the right'and proper way. Any how, Joe Hlevins was goin to church that night, and it would seem like Mines Garvin sin? was likewise also most crazy to turn out and hear the ‘gospel dis pensed with* by the new preachers. "So It suited all around for MinesGar- vin to go to church that night with Joe Hlevins, and she went with him. So far all right. I couldn't see nothin wrong about lhat. I wouldn’t say for certain how much religion they have got, but, at any rntes7 Joe Hlevins and Mises Garvin have Isith got their nnntra qii the church hooks over at old Klara. Consequentially it wa* plum natural for both of them to want to turn out to merlin, and if it come handy and con venient. for them to go together, that was all right. If It suited them, and suited Lit Garvin and suited Mises IRev- ins, to he certainly it ought to of suited other people. “Hut it would seem like it didn’t suit everybody. It didn't suit Mises Huggins, the wife of Nick Huggins. Khe was owerfill bad pestered about It. To hear her tell the news, It took Joe Hlevins and Lit Garvin’s wife slch a terrific long time to walk from home to the church and vicery versiiry. She bad come over the same road, and she would give her testimony on a stack of Ribles ns big ns the meetin house that it took them two mortal hours to walk n mile and a half. She told the news free and promiscus to the sisters, and naturally of course it then leaked out amongst the men folks. Hy the next jay it broke out in the general crowd and was sprendin like a prairie fire on } windy day in March. “Now, in the name of free grace and common sense, what was the use of that? It was a pure family question, Rufus, and if Lit was willin, and Mises Hlevins was willin, I was more than willin. Hut Mises Huggins she lowed it took ’em sieh a terrific 1—o—n—g time to go and come from church. Hut what of that? The weather hit was meltin hot, and they didn’t have to burn the wind and make a race track out of the big road. "When meelin turned out the next day Mises Garvin she had heard the news and went pizen mad. She got right out in the midst of the crowd, she did, and belt up Mises Huggins and pitched in and, naturally het the air sizzlin hot all around. She would give Mises Huggins to understand that she was a lady, and s) wanted everybody to know for certn:,i—oncst and forever —that she was a Indy, herself. "And if j-our Aunt Nancy ain’t all sorts of a fool, Rufus, right along there is where Mises Garvin dropped the jug and spilt her molasses. If a lady is a Indy I never could see no reason for her to climb up on a high fence and tell everybody the news. . <4 • • "But there they had It—Mises Gar vin and Mises Huggins—up and down and over and under—till they brung on a pluperfect big scandalatlon in the B’ttlement, and all because they didn’t have no better sense than to turn their tongues loose In regards to things which the general public didn’t have a bless-d thing to do with. "Finally at last, Rufus, you can take r»ut your little notebook and set you down this: For t 1 e general run of family trials and tr< ublesond scandal- ct'ons fresh air and sunshine is mighty sorry medicine, whil t graveyard silence Is a dead-shot ciir. ninety-nine times In the hundred. Hecln Thli '9 at Night. "In my heart urn general feclins I uni still as fresh and sprightly as a right young girl, Rufus, but here lately £ got into a strange and pecurious way of secin things at night,” the old lady went on ns she knocked the ashetf out af her pipe and changed the subject all of a suddent like. "You never would of thought of it, and I don’t reckon anybody else could make you lirJieve it, but 1 woke up one night last week and found a strange man in the house. “Andrew Jim he had went off that night to some sort of political rnllifica- tion and left me mid the children there at home to sink or surrender us best we could. Way long in the night I woke up and ble«« the heavens there was a man stnndin right there by the dinin room door. The general shape was ruther dim at first, but the longer I looked the plainer I could see the man. I could see the hat on his head, nud for a little more I do believe I would of saw a gun in his band; On the first flush 1 thought it mought be Andrew Jim prnnkin around try in to make me act a fool. Hut I didn’t move. I could feel the cold chills ehasin up and down my back, and I was sweatin great drops of perspiration as big as horse apples. The silence was so tremendius thick and heavy till bless gracious it seems to me like you mought slice it up with your pocketknife. I couldn’t stand it no longer. Somethin had to come. "In the main time I had cut .a new bresh broom that even in, and I remem- liered me now that I had put the hatchet under the bed. So I went down soft, and easy as I could after my hatchet, and then opened up on the man. " ‘Who’s that?' says 1, in a strong and manly voice, tryin’ to make out like An drew Jim was at home. Hut the man iie didn’t move. " ‘Who’s that, I say?’ I went ju, talk in loud and mad and angry as 1 could. Hut the man he didn’t move. “ ‘You are playin with death and dig- gin you own grave now,” says I, as I riz from the bed, and waved the hatchet in the air. Hut the man he didn't move. “‘Funerals are all tlie go in this set tlement now and you will soon be in the fashion,’ says I, ns I started across the floor with my hatchet drawn hack. Hut the iiinii he didn’t move. Anil by this time I was stnndin in three feet of him. “ ‘If you don’t talk out I will split you wide ojien!” says I, and let drive with the hatchet ns hard ns the Lord would let me. “Hut I didn’t kill the man, Rufus. So for ns I know the hatchet didn’t hit In three miles of a ninn. There want no man there. There want n man on the place, in the house, or anywhere* around there except in my mind. Un- bek now mice to me Andrew Jim hud hung Ids Sunday clothes on a peg there by the dinin room door, and then hung hia hat on a nail right over the clothes. And out of them harmless old duds-1 had made me a man and then got akeered of him. “I didn't mean to give out the facta away from home, Rufus, hut in the gen eral hurry mid darkness and confusion- ment that night I had took the hatchet and cut a hole in Andrew Jim's Sunday coat us big ns your hand, and he is now sprendin of the news fur and wide. Somethin marvelous has come over the general spirit ofthings when Nancy Newton can look at a few old clothes till they take the shape of a man, and then get sheered of him. Old age must be creepin up, Rufus. Leastwise I don’t' like this strange and pecurious way of seein things at night." Hut old age or what not Aunt Nancy Newton ain’t gone nowhere*. And I would love to hear her tell the news and give in her opinions for a hundred year* me. UUFUtt SANUJ&U. FRIENDSHIP. 8am Jones Speaks of the Value of a True Friend. S*7B We Should Make Friend* of Everybody at the Expense Of Everythin* Except Principle. Amid the rush and roar, push and drive for dollars and cents, amid che turmoil of politics and the crashing of commercial interests there is some thing better and higher than all these. True friends and good neighbors are more precious than rubies and “more to be desired than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than the honey with the honeycomb,’' and in the get ting of them there is great reward. A millionaire without friends is poor in deed. A president or king without his friends is a slave to the condition of things. A politician without his friends will “hit the grit” sooner or later. I fear sometimes amid the discord of politics and the greed for gain we have lost sight of the fact that a man’s wealth consist.! in noble friends and good neigh bors. Money has very little in it to bring happiness. Political power brings only cares, temptations and trials. Greed in itself is disintegrating and vis its upon men a thousand slings and ar rows. No man is so poor as he who has lived to make all men his enemies and rob himself of true friends. No man is so rich as the man who is embalmed in the hearts of a grateful community. We get political power, social pre- ferrtient and dollars and cents ns the re sult of selfish aims and selfish ends by doing for ourselves. We make true happiness by doing for others. Peter the Great, Charlemagne and Napoleon tried to conquer the world with swords, but each of them died a conquered wretch himself at last, Jesus Christ live 1 for others, served others, did for others and died for others, and there are millions of men to-day who would- die for Christ, He conquered by serv ice, by sacrifice, by benevolence. Not long ago I attended Will With- am’s large Sunday school class in At lanta, Ga. He gave to each of us a card at the conclusion of the lesson with the following inscription thereon: “I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show anybody, or a word that I can speak for Jesus, let me do it now; let me not neglect or defer it, for I shall not pass this way again.” If every human life were conducted after the lesson given here what a world of friends this would be! Some one has said if we would have friends we must show ourselves friendly. The common courtesies of life, a kind word spoken, a helpful word given, a kind deed that costs little in sacrifice or effort, has made undying friends for many a man. Some one has said: I would rather have a dog for m3' friend than to have him ns an eneni}'. Who would not make all men his friends? Who, as a matter of choice, would rather have an enemy than a friend? There is another old adage which sa3'K: “A friend in need is a friend in deed.” We may reach the jioiiit where we do not need a friend in dollars and cents; we may reach the point where we. do not need a friend to protect us because danger is nigh; but who can *ay: ‘.‘I ^viR never need the sympathy and kindness which mao can show to pian?’’ When the hours of grief and ^ercavepient, whep the hours of siok- pess apR death shall come, then the Rripeless value of friends is shown to ps; tjicu dollars aiel cents and houses (pid hinds but mock ns in our grief and jornient us ip our sorrow. We should make friends of every body at the expense of everything ex cept principle. The friends we lose by ntuuding up for the right were notour friends, and would lie hurtful to us If we considered them so. A friend Is one who not onl}' wishes us well but would- go out of his way to do us a kindness; or who would, if he stood alone, de fend our name and reputation from the assaults of others. Many men would have fallen under the blows given but for the hand of a friend uplifted to help them. Many a heart would have burated with grief but for the sni3'- pnthy poured out to it by a true friend. And while we rush for riches and pull for power and gallop in our greed let ns stop a moment and get our bear ing* and see how we stand related to those almut us. We have well-nigh thrown aside the social features which fn«fer friendship. We visit too little at each other’s houses. Man3' long winter nights we could spend two hoirjg pleas antly with a neighbor and win him as a closer friend. Mail}' times we jiass idly by without the warm grip of the hand or a kindly jarord the man who would be worth a world to us in some coming emergenc}'. We cannot afford to sacrifice everything to political pre judices and selfish greed. We must have friends. We cannot do without them. If every man whose eye scans these lines will stop a moment and think how little he has done to foster friendship and win his neighlior in the last few year* he would right about and deter mine to look In another direction for awhile. • In the political world we see it fre quently asserted In the pres* ‘this polit ical aspirant has a knife in his sleeves for some other aspirant,” or this one has stabbed that one In the back. In th" commercial world one ninn has un dermined another in business. In the social world one person hn* slandered the other out of decency In the com munity so far as their ability to do •uch a tiling would go. The man who goes around with a kntfe or a pistol in his pocket is a bud citizen, and de serves the fate *o many of them re ceive. The man who undermines and takes advantage of his fellowman In a business transaction deserve* to M|ieiid the remainder of his days within the penitentiary walls clad in the Hti'i|>CMof a felon. He whose tongue would smirch and hurt the good name of his neigh bor deserves to have his tongue taken 0 it by the root. We are not careful enough to mind the golden rule “Do unto others as j'ou would be done by.” No men have really prospered long who did t without principle and without due regard to the feelings and fortunes of others. I am sorry for any man who adopts wrong methods and practices rascality that he himself may rise as ho rots. Pat truly said: “If we had a little more of the mailk of human kind ness in this world what a bright world we would have.” Let’s do some good thing for some one every da}' we live. If we arc not able to do a good thing, let’s speak a good word for some ono every day. Soon It would become a habit with us; and what a blessed habit it is to do good or to speak helpful of an* other. Such a habit would gather about us in sickness and In health, in pover ty or wealth, in living or dying, a host of friends who would be worth more to us than the wealth of the Vanderbilts or the renown of kings or generals. No man liveth can get where friends cannot help him or enemies hurt him, and he who surrounds himself, living and dying, with good friends all aliout him has lived above the selfish life of him who'dies at last like Mike said Pat did. When Mike told his friends that Pat was dead they asked what was the complaint. No complaint at all, he said, everybody seemed to be satisfied. I am sorry for a man when nobody is sorry that he is dead. I rejoice in a life that ends at last surrounded by a host of friends that no man can number. Amid the fickleness and falsities of this world there are true friends, and true friends are the truest things in the world. SAM P. JONES. A WOMAN AT A TIGER HUNT. The Rea*t Wa* a Man-Eater and Killed One of the Hunters Before It Died. No one is more daring or courageous than a woman in the field after large and dangerous game. One of these women tells of a tiger hunt in the Sewn- like that resulted in the deatli of a man and of a man-eating tiger. As usual the tiger had worked up con siderable of a reputation for itself by feeding on human flesh in large quan tities, and it at lust became imperative that the beast should be killed. To do this it was necessary to build a stand in a tree, then tie out a living cow as bait, and when the cow was killed, which happened the first night, the hunter took his stand in the tree on the following afternoon, accompanied by his wife, who tells the story. It was the woman’s eyes that first saw Stripes coming, and it was she who pointed the animal out for her husband to shoot. The tiger was wounded in one leg and through the flesh of the back. The next day eight men and the woman went to trail the wounded tiger. The trail led into the thick brush, where the single elephant could not go, and the men had no taste forgoing into a tiger’s den afoot, so the hunters went up on a hill to see if they could sight or drive the beast out, leaving the woman and some coolies to look out for her. The men were gone so long that, the woman became tired of waiting, and climbed a near-by knoll, "a most difiicult piece of work,” she says, “because the pebbles rolled down fre under our feet, and we had nothing but slippery tufts of grass to catch hold of,” Meantime the hunters had sighted the tiger, but did not get a shot. The tiger was flown in a gully between the hill up which the hunters had gone and the one the wom an had climbed. Stones and yells were east clown at the brush, but the tiger wouldn’t come out. A lame man, Lengra, joined he party, and he saw the tiger down in the nullah a little distance away. He wn.s told to pitch rocks at it, but the lieast refused to come out. The men were told to get into trees and they did so, but Lengra, after getting in a safe one, thought it wasn’t a good grand stand, and took to ji ^mailer one. All of a sudden the tiger charged, and It saw poor Lengra’* leg dangling from a branch. Up it leaped, and the bone of the leg was scraiied clean of flesh, while the tiger, standing on its hind legs, reHehed up for more. A bullet in the chest, another in the throat, ended the beast, and a minute or two later the man fell down beside the tiger. It was not safe <0 go after the l east then, as it might be playing ’possum, but later it was found that Isith man and tiger were dead. The man’s head was rubbing the tiger’s, the man’s hand was on the tiger’s shoulder, and the tiger’s forepaw was on the man’*.— (iameland. Tried After Thirty Year*. William Minniv, who killed William Ward at Salyersville, Ky., 30 years ago, was tried in the Magoffin circuit court recently, and the jury returned a ver dict of "Not guilty.” At the time of thp murder Minnix gave bond and left the country, ami was never heard from until he appeared for trial. He say* he could not rest'until hia conscience was clear and he had stood trial for hia deed. He was converted and lieearac a Methodist preacher under an assumed name, married in Missouri, and has two children. MinnlxendWard were young men aliout 20 years of age and intimate friends. One night in August, 1866, they were, playing cards ami drinking socially, when a dispute arose over the game. Minnix struck Ward over the head with an old-fashioned skillet, frac turing his skull, from the effects of which Ward died a few days later. Minnix is a good preacher and well edu cated- Rroperly Named. “This bicycle fever is a monomania, Isn’t it, doctor?” "In some eases it seems to be." “AAd monomania is closely allied to Insanity, is it not?” “It is.” "Well, then, would you call a bicycle crank a victim of temporary insanity, recurrent insanity, or—or—what?” “I think It would be more appropriate to call him a victim of circular insan ity; don’t you?”—Chicago l’o*t. AT GRAY GABLES. President Cleveland Makes Many Improvements at His Home. Ktadne** Extended to m Lone Oyatermon Squatting I’pon HI* Domain*—Seat of Government to He Cape Cod Thla Summer. When Mrs. Cleveland arrived at Gray Gables with her children to spend the summer tiiere she found that in the winter many changes and improve ments had been made about the ex tensive property. A heavy storm lost winter tore a great hole in the sea well that protects the house and its imme diate grounds, and this has been re placed by a stronger and more hand some embankment of stone. The big lily pond had been emptied and cleaned and then refilled. There arc now growing aquatic plants of the rarest and most beautiful kinds. Mrs. Cleveland is especially fond of the water lilies, and the president had this pond made a year or two ago for her benefit. On the shore of the Monument river side of the estate there Is an oyater- man’s cabin, the only building on the JOO-acre tract that the president doei not own. The oysterman built hia cabin before Mr. Cleveland bought the property, and It is said that the presi dent did not know it was there for tw-> or three years. One day he was walk ing along the river bank and saw the cabin and the oysterman. Mr. Cleve land asked him what he was doing there, and the humble oysterman ex plained that ht? had been allowed to build his cabin on the spot where it stood by the former owner of the land. He had no lease or other legal right on the premises, but" he modestly ex plained that it was a good location for his business, and asked that he might be allowed to remain, promising that he would never make his presence known to the occupants of the great bouse, some distance nwny. The president told the oysterman he might remain there as long ns he wished, and there would be no rent to pay. This man is the only one allowed to trespass on the place. “Daddy” Brunn has caught the first blnefish of the season. He Is the local fish prophets and he says the season is going to be an extraordinary one for largo catches. The bass in the inland ponds are biting well, and on the sea ledges there is already some good sport. It is said in Marion that Secretary Carlisle has taken a cottage In that place for the summer. This seems quite probable, ns the president will want his financial adviser handy. With Sec retary Olney in Falmouth, Private Sec retary Thurber in M.\rk>n and probably Secretary Lament near by, the seat of government will be Cape Cod instead Washington this summer. A NEW "STRONG BOX.” Steel Vault* for Silver at New York Sab- Treasury Almost Completed. Work on the new steel vault for tin storage of silver coin in the basement of the United States subtrensury In Wall street is progressing rapidly, and the contractor expects to have It ready for use in about two weeks. There are now 50,000,000 silver dollars and more than $5,000,000 in subsidiary silver coin stored in the subtreasury basement, and the necessity for additional vault room has of late become pressing. The new vault is a box 12 feet square and ten feet high, made of steel platea two Inches thick. It is firmly set In the corridor adjoining the old steel vault, and it will hold about $0,000,000 in silver coin. Inasmuch ns there Is comparatively little silver coinage go ing on in this country nt present, it is not expected that the new vault will fill up very rapidly. The silver dollars that arc now In storage, however, are likely to remain there indefinitely. The experience of many years has proved that it is impos sible to keep them in eircuiation. From time to time a faw thousand dollars are withdrawn by private persons for some specific reason, but they soon find thelx way back into the subtreasury vaults. Kven the banks which have strong and capacious vaults of their own arc avers" to giving storage room to the “cart wheels.” A REMARKABLE ROBBER.
