Returning from the Maud section
I made a tour through the county on
March 15th, to Timber Ridge, where
a full turn out^of the voters were in
readiness to hear what the candidates
had to eay in regard to their claims
to the various offices to which each
of them respectively aspired.
Township Chairman John O. Tate,
was master of ceremonies, and intro
duced the speakers in his usual brief
and modest, but plain and distinct
style. Retween showers the crowd
repaired to the old store, yet the
speaking went on in the Grove despite
the constant rain-fali, until at last
the crowd repaired to the store-house,
where the speaking was concluded.
Fully 100 voters stood firm in order
to give the candidates a chance to
verftilatc their plans, and tell what
they expected to do, and not to do.
Here, as at other places, some little
bitterness showed itself to the eha-

nc:
public
meeting was at
Our
Gutlney, on tho ISth of March. This,
like that at Timber Ridge, was held
out-doors in the rain and mud. A large
crowd was present—in fact the whole
county was, more or less, represented.
The crowd was very quiet and orderly.
The Palmetto tree hud no great part
in the work except now and then, to
provoke a hurrah for so and so. 1
took copious notes of the sayings oi
each candidate there, 1 expected to
use in the sketches of the campaign.
But I find it will make them too long
to tax the patience of our genial edi
tor and good-natured printers, so 1
will file them away for reference next
year, or whenever they' may bo in
demand.
Jj Some laughable incidentsltook place,
and many funny sayings were elicit
ed during tho campaign. It is my
honest opinion that fully one-half of, .
the candidates eared nothing for the j kegm my next letter
office for which they were running— 1 (To he continued.)
'they only wanted to see the country'
and maki acquaintjnce with the^eo-
ple. Tins feature abundantly re-paid
me for my trouble and expense. The
hearty welcome 1 received in ihe
homes of some of the best people in
the towns, both of Gaffney and Blucks-
After the meeting at Gaffney on
the ISth of March, I made my way
to the York side of Broad river, and
spent the night with my old friend,
Col. I). R. Allgood, at Cherokee Falls.
Here I was entertained in royal sty le,
by my best who, by t ho way, is a first-
class hotel man, both in his social
and business relation. He and his
family showed me all the kindness I
could expect from firm friends. There
I made several now acquaintances
among his hoarders, both male and
female. There 1 met for the first
time 1 can remember, “Levy.” the
son of my old school mate, Robert M.
IMaxico, cf King’s Creek section, who
is employed in the Company store at
that place. I also met and formed
an acquaintance with Mr. Humphries,
son of our old and worthy music
teacher, 1‘rof. Thompson Humphries,
whose life and professional services
have been influential in bringing up
to usefulness three generations of the
sons and daughters of his country
men. To speculate on the surround
ings—on the factory ground with wa
ter power of immense wealth safely’
stored away in the vaults of nature’s
water falls along Broad river for the
entire length of Cherokee county,
and for the greater part on both sides
of the river, is too much like thresh
ing old straw. It is as proverbial as
it is unlimited. The employees at
Cherokee Fails are seemingly well
paid and contented. The place Is
healthy and the water good and abun
dant.
■ From the Fall” I wander my way
to Blacksburg, over the hills and ore
banks of Western York, now the min
eral treasury of Cherokee county.
There is from the best geological au
thority we can find, sufficient reason
td warrant the conclusion that this
ore makes the best steel tmd iron to
be found any whereon this continent.
Its qua es were severely tested
during t’ late war, (see Mr. William
Little’s report.) and we defy contra
diction of ibis assertion. Not only
iron, but gob! and other valuable or» s
are found in this section and around
Blacksburg in great abundance.
It was campaign day at Blacksburg,
and we met a general turn-out of yeo
manry of ‘ old York” when we gath
ered. Elaborate preparations hud
been made by the committee of ar
rangements to give tho candidates a
warn and hearty' welcome. A stand
was built and chairs turni-bed suffi
ciently to seat most, if not all, the
speakers : t one time. The taste dis
played in the arrangement and equip
ment of the stand gave umnistakeuolc
evidence tint Blacksburg did not pro
pose to be eclipsed by her sisters on
the west-side of Broad.
To add to the pleasures of the oc
casion the Antioch band under the
leadership of Capt J. B. llambright,
was present, and discoursed sweet
music. For the time they have been
playing they have made quick pro-
j gre.-s, am! will surpass many older
! bands in the airs of their instruments.
1 Tho membership, at present, at
! Blacksburg, were as follows:
J. B. llambright, Captain, J. I),
McCarter, .1. R. Dover, Victor Ham-
bright K. C. Hardin, W. R. Ham-
bright, G. D. llambright, J. A. Ran
dall, R. li. Randall, O. A. Dover. K.
MeSwain, Oliver McSwain, I*. G. Dick
son and J. A. Whisonant.
In addition to what inis been said,
I might add that the stand had been
tastefully decorated, and everything
made cherry for the speakers, as well
as audience.
Capt.JJunius W.{Thompson presided
over the meeting with distinguished
ability and impartiality. As this was

gave an exhibition of rapid transit
legislation, rs well as of the touch of
nature which makes the whole world
kin, when it broke all previous re"
cords, in making an appropriation of
$200,000 for the relief of tho suffer
ers from the floods in the Mississippi
River and its tributaries and in the
Red River of the North. Inside of
two hours President McKinley’s spe

the resolution unanimously adopted,
signed by the President, and the
money made available for immediate

For the first time, excepting £iVn*
days, of course, since the fourth of

a crowd of office seekers. It isn’t
free because the office-seekers have
gone away’, but because the Presi

Johnson, under the cover of night,
crept up to Hie house of his victim,
while she was sitting leaning hack in
a chair stringing beans. Coolly and
deliberately he leveled his rifle and
sent a ball on its hellish mission,
crashing through the seat of life,
which so effectually did its work that
she never fell out of her chair but re
tained her setting posture until the
next morning, where some of* the
neighbors found her. Tne oldest
child who was asleep when tiie deed
was done, was just beginning to talk,
suit! that m imma was asleep and she
couldn’t wake her. As much as any
thing eh s my re: son for re-producing '
ibis paper is to show the character of
the judges who adorned the bench in
the Stale in ante helium times; 1
most cordially recommend the words
of the J ndge to tiie young and t hough t-
less who give loose rein to vice and
immorality.
Hundreds of Leix;:;:: readers, both
in this and adjoining States, who are
familiar with the circumstances, will
no doubt read this paper with inUr- |
est. Here it is:
Phineas 11. Johnson: Young! nan, I
how can 1 say to you, in the aoful [
language of tin. inspired prophet, ;
“set thy house in order, for thou i
slialt die, and not live!” Yet K
must be done. You are before iw
now, in the morning of life—in a few
brief days you will he cut off, and the i
place which now knows you, “shall
know you no more forever.” !r is
my duty to say to you, thu! the na
ture of you crime forbids the possi
bility of pardon here. Your only
hope of pardon is in the merciful
atonement offered you and all men,
in tiie broken body and steaming
blood of Him, who cried, “Father,
forgive them, for they know not what
they do.”
Your crime, awful as it is. must be
set before you, in the hope that it
may do you and the community good.
To creep upon a poor woman, in her
own solitary cabin, in tiie stillness of
night, with her nursling at her feet,
her first born wrapt in infantile in
nocent slumber by her side, when
preparing the scanty portion of vege
tables for her and their food, and to
shoot her as a wild, beast, hardly bus
a parallel in tiie annuls of crimo.
When to this is added, the guilty
wretch who completed this deed was
her seducer,
ones—where, oh where, shall we
find another as foul a blot on human
ity?
To you, at least, her person ought
to have been sacred. For you, she
had made herself the guilty, degrad
ing being, to whom beauty was a re
proach, character was infamy, and
affection was hatred. For you she
art the man!”
Sad and awful as all these thoughts
ami reminiscences may be, they are
as nothing to that which is before
you! Death, a shameful death, in
a few days, must he met and suffered.
Oh ! young man, do not die forever.
God is before you ns he ever has
been, willing to be gracious. He
still points to the atonement offered
on Calvary. He still says, “wash
and be clean.”
I have no doubt that, although a
murderer like Massey, you may yet
have his hope of pardon and peace.
I have heard with great pleasure, that
you have, as you believe, experienced
already that hope.
Be not deceived! Wrestle contin
ually, like good old Jacob with the
angel of the covenant, and say like
him, “1 will not let thee go till thou
bless me.”
May you have that blesMng! May
God puss you through the dark v > -
ley of the shadow of death and un -
ble you to say, “I will fear no ill, for
thy rod and thy staff doth support
me.”
“The sentence of the law is that you
be taken hence to the jail of Union
district; that you there be safely ami
securely confined till Friday, t!v
loth day of February nest, on which
day. between the hours of 111 in the
forenoon and 2 in the afternoon, you
will be taken by the sheriff of Union
district to the place of public execu
tion, and there he hanged by the
neck, till your body be dead, and
may God have mercy on your .-oul.”
It is a great source of pleasure to
note that the Pea Ridge section of
Union county is now among tiie most
refined sections of tin* .State.
