these meetings ought to be attended I
when it is at all possible for us to do :

I had Ihu pleasure of attending the.|

County Sunday S< riool Convention at

was one of the most harmonious meet

K.tta Jane, August !)—Fine sea
sons set in last week and crops not
too far spent, present a much
appearance than they did a week ago.
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Estes visited
the Convention as shown last week.
From all accounts it was a grand af
fair.
The cloudy weather is very much
against fruit drying, which our good
women wanted to begin this week.
A good sized congregation was dis
appointed in consequence of there
being no preaching at Messapotama
yesterday. Xo reason was given for
the pastor's failing to reach his np*
pointment.
r understand that Mr. Chnrner
Morris and Miss Violet Wilkins were
married last .Saturday at K» Iton.
Several of the hoys from this neigh,
borhood attended the Alliance picnic
at Tirzah last week.
A picnic, barbecue ami general
turnout of the Alliance force will he
held at Duck Fond church, on the
2flth instant. The people of Union
county are making preparations for a
grand affair. Several of our leading
men are expected to he present,
among them Senator Tillman.
Mr. It. E. Kerr, our road overseer,
is putting his section in good order,
but not before it needs it.
The present spell of weather is
against hay-making—too cloudy and
dam p.
Mr. J. A. M. Estes’ chickens and
other poultry are d)ing with the
icholera. He has lost several.
A x The crops have suffered greatly for
\huit of rain within the lust two
weeks. Some ruin has fallen in dif
ferent parts of the county, but in each
case they were much needed.
If brother “A. L. M.” thinks that
a newspaper correspondent knows
everything, and can answer all kinds
of questions, he is badly mistaken.
In the paragraph to which he refers,
I am not able to tell whether it was
an oversight of mine, er a typograph
ical error. I am rather inclined to
think it is the latter. But, however,
he wants me, as 1 understand, to ex
plain the difference between Sabbath
and Sunday, and to give the reason
why it was changed from the seventh
to the iirst day of the week.
The Westminster Confession of
Faith, whichL conceded to he the
highest authority extant, asks and
answers this question us follows:
Question : Which day of the week 1
hath Cod appointed to be the weekly
Sabbath?
Answer: From the beginning of
the world to the resurrection of Christ,
Cod appointed the seventh day of the
week to be the weekly Sabbath, and
the first day of the week ever since,
to continue to the end of the world,
which is the Christian Sabbath.
Like my good brother of the quill,
I am not disposed to ventilate my
theory before the intelligent readers
of this paper. The new Testament
scriptures subscribe to the reasons,
and a number of authorities of high
est repute, substantiate the same.
How tlie Sabbath was changed from
the seventh to the lirst day of the
week is generally understood through
out Christendom. For a fuller expla
nation of the why’s amj wherefore’s,
I would respectfully *efer the broth
er to Willis on the Sabbath, Baxter’s
Four-fold State of Man, Baxter’s
Saints’ Rest, (revised edition,) Malm’s
Christian Sabbath, to say nothing of
the different dictionaries, encyclope
dias, etc..} which can he found in
almost every library where the post-
existen tjDeuteronomist has dealt with
the hexhameron in all of its hearings
on the observance of Christian duties,
and then refer to the following new
Testament quotations; Matt 2S:1,
Murk 10:2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1,
Mark 16:9, John 20:20, Acts 20:7,
1st Cor. JO :7.
In answer to several enquiries con
cerning our last mathematical pro
blem I will say that it is one in com-
* pound proportion whoso solution is
quite easy.
Mr. Joe Estes turned out yesterday
In his new surry behind a snatching
pair of mules excellently caparisoned.
Joe is all right.
Mr. Editor, permit ire to thank
you for your sensible editorial on that
Georgia phenomenon, which has cre
ated such a sensation among weak-
minded people. I refer to that burn
ing man.
It was out of my power to attend
thejmeeting of the U. C. Veterans at
learn that some good work was done
for the Master. It’s a lamentable
fact that so few people can stand to
be told of ibt ir meanness by preach
ers of the gospel, and the result is
that our revival meetings don't do
the good they might otherwise ac
complish. When men and women
think that their social standi^; places
them beyond the reach of y«gospol
guns, then the devil dismi^H all his
doubts as to their loyalty tonim.
Brethren of the ministry—keep up
your lire from the gospel batteries,
use lirst-chiss ordinonce, and let eve
ry one do his own howling when he’s
hit.
In company with her father, Mr.
T. J. Hughes, Miss Ora Hughes pass
ed here yesterday on her way to visit
her sister. Mrs. Ben McCulloch, at
Pinkney ferry.
The noblest resolution I have heard
of lately is that of a young lady who
says no young man shall keep her
company with the smell of liquor on
his breath, or if he be a drunkard.
Noble resolution, young lady. .Stick
to it, and encourage your sex to adopt
it too. it will do more to suppress
intemperance among the young men
than all the^dispensary, •‘original
packages,” and so-called prohibition
laws in the land that ever was or will
he enacted. It’s just as easy for c
girl to marry a gentleman as a brute,
and then she will have some prospect
ot happiness in this life. The lady
who marries a man to reform him, or
even tries to apologize for his drunk
enness in any way, has driven her
pigs to a very poor market.
Our people are wanting sunshine
to dry fruit.
Mr. Mann Paris paid us a visit »'»-
day. He and his family have chills.
The people along the Gilky am 1
Thickety creek sections have been
troubled with chills all the year.
My friend James Proctor, had an
open boll of cotton last week.
To-day is the day to sow turnips.
Our people can’t he too particular
about this excellent crop. They are
invaluable as farm products, to feed
cows and start hogs to fattening.
The Lkdukk is beyond doubt the
most popular paper we know of. It
is almost impossible to get an extra
copy of any issue unless the order is
sent in in time to have it printed and
mailed as the others. Extra copies
are constantly in demand. Bully for
The Lkdcer.
The Children’s day incident to
which I alluded last week, seems to
he an extensive affair, if the maxim
of Sam Jones is reliable. I accused
nobody of anything except what is
hacked by abundant proof. This can
he brought out if necessary.

A Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diar
rhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country
as a private in Company A, 167th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, I contract
ed chronic diarrhoea. It has given
me a great deal of trouble ever since.
I have tried a dozen different roedi-
cins and several prominent doctors
without any permanent relief. Not
long ago a friend sent me a sample
bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chole
ra and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after
that I bought and took a 00 cent bot
tle; and now lean say that 1 am en
tirely cured. I cannot he thankful
enough to you for this great Rem
edy, and recommend it to all suffer
ing veterans. If in doubt wrf.e me.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Bi kkai-o, Aug., -1.—Our protracted
meeting closed one week ago last
Sunday, it was a very good meeting.
Appeareutly much good was accom
plished, and yet it may prove to be
only temporary. Ten converts were
added to the church hut half that
tmmberof old backsliders have al
ready been intoxicated since the
meeting closed. All the old settle
ment grudges were buried, their fu
nerals preached, and tears shed over
their graves, save barely me. For
more than two yours I have been in
open revolt against the authority of
the church and have held it off of me
with an iron grasp which no man lias
ever dared to try to break. I know
that I am the greatest stumbling
block Buffalo has ever had, and 1 am
willing to step down and out when
ever the bretheren get willing to ‘‘tote
fair” with me, and put out some
others that have no business there.
Wo had considerable wind hero last
Thursday evening. It did hut little
damage except by breaking corn off
at the joint.
The trustees are soon goingto com
mence enlarging the Buffalo school
house. A majority of the patrons of
the school are in favor of establishing
two schools, one in the upper end of
the district and one in the lower part,
hut the trustees feel like their little
official dignity makes them consti
tute a majority. There is likely to
be some kicking against their
assumed authority. There is a deli
cate task in store for our County
Superintendent of Education which
shall overrule an overwhelming ma
jority or an insignificant minority?
A young man, whose name 1 did not
learn, started from a point somewhere
near Gaffney City, a few days ago to
a point somewhere in X. C. Upon
reaching Blackburg his mule took
sick. However he proceeded a few
miles further on his journey when it
became helpless, and,leaving it in care
of a funner, he proceeded to scour the
country fur a iiorse doctor. By the
time the doctor reached the afflic
ted iftiimal it was about dead. Af
ter having its body removed to
an old field the young man, with
a sad heart, started back home. Upon
reaching Broad river lie disrobed him
self and proceeded to cross as tha
Chidren of Isreal crossed the Red
Sen. He had made but a few steps
until he was in water over his head.
After getting his cloths wet and get
ting back to the shore 1 lie best way he
could, lie dressed himself and started
down the river in search of a boat. By
this time he had become very thirsty
and passing by a tenant house he
tried to quench his thirst at the well.
After letting the bucket down his cu
rmsity was aroused to see how deep the
well was, so he leaned farward to get a
peep into the bowels of the eartli and
his fine derby hat fell off his head
into the well. By this time the gentle
man of the house was on the spot and
they together fished the hat out of
the well and the young man went on
his way a sadder hut wiser man. 1
hope he will look upon this us noth
ing hut a joke told in a sympathetic
spirit. Brother we all meet with
disappointments in goingto seeour
girls. Bachelor.

A Trip to the Country.
(CorreEitontli nee of The ledger.)
Gakknky, Aug., 9.—I started from
Gaffney last Tuesday morning Aug.
the Brd and traveled over roads that
1 have not been over in forty years.
J went almost entirely through Cher
okee county. 1 found the people
kind and clever. As to crops, 1
found them fair, almost an average.
1 stopped at my old friend, Clem Ma
bry, over night and hud a very pleas
ant time. From my friend Mabrey’s
I went to Logan Mabry’s, where we
spent a very pleasant night. 1 v.ns
treated to the longest watermelon
that 1 have seen this season. Logan
has the most wheat that 1 have seen
at one time in twenty-five years.
From there we went to Mr. Calvin
Brown's. There wo were treated to
some fine watermelon and cantelopes.
As to Mrs. Brown, I must say she lias
the most canned fruit—44 cans nice
fruit of different kinds—that I ever
saw. She always has something
nice. From friend Brown’s we went
to Mr. Jas. Jones. There we
spent a portion of the day
and night. Friend Jones showed me
over his crop. It is the finest I have
seen this season. Friend Mike Sel
lers lias about as good. Then we
started on our return to Gaffney- We
stopped with our old friend, Joe George
and look dinner, which we enjoyed
very much. From there we drove
home to our beautiful city of Gaffney.
I found Jthat almost everybody
takes The Lkixiek. cl w. u.

It is always gratifying to receive
testimonials for Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and
when the endorsement is from a phy
sician it is especially so. “There is
j no more satisfactory or effective rem-
I edy than Chamberlain’s Colic, Choi-
l ere. and Diarrhoea Remedy,” writes
Dr. U. E. Robey, physician and phar-
inusist, of Olney, Mo.; and as he
j used the Remedy in his own family
and sold it in his drug store for six
years he should certainly know. For

SENATOR WM. JEFFERIES.
A BRIEF SKETCH OK CHERO
KEE’S FIRST SENA+OR.
Bern Near Where He Now Resides
and Educated in the Common
Schools—Alv/aya a
Democrat.
William Jefferies, the subject of
tills sketch, was born in Union coun
ty, in the year 1830, near where he
now resides. Jlis parents were de
scended from Revolutionary stock.
His great-grand-fathers, John Jefferies
and Nicholas Corry, and his grand
father, Davis Goudelock, were sol
diers in that war. Early in life he
was taught to love his country and
lihertv. He was sent to the best
• *
country schools in that section and
obtained a liberal education from
these schools and his constant study
of books—newspapers were rare then.
When he first came to manhood he
taught school for four years, after
which he spent some time in Charles
ton and Columbia in the mercantile
business, when he returned to his old
home. He was elected to the legis
lature in ISbS, and served two years.
These were exciting years, and the
legislature was composed of strong
men, such as Meminger, Perry, Al
drich, Edwards, SSimonton, Hudson,
Blaek, Boyston. Gadbery, McGowan,
and many other just such men.
The great exciting and momentous
question that was looming up, espe
cially in lSb7, was the secession from
tiie Union. Mr. Jefferies opposed

that, as can he seen, by reference to
the House journal of that date, when
a bill to appropriate a larger sum to
put the State on a war footing was
being discussed and voted upon, the
ayes and naes being cuiicd he and B.
F. Perry were the only naes recorded.
The war coming on he volunteered
in the IStli S. C. Volunteers, in which
he served until December, 1862, being
discharged from that arm of service,
he entered the Holcomb Legion, rf-
terwards the 7>-h 8. C. Cavalry, serv
ing as a private to the end. After
the war ho engaged in teaching and
farming, taking an interest in the poli
tics of his county, urging his neigh
bors to follow the fortunes of the
Democratic party. In 1871 he, with
I). P. Duncan, succeeded in getting
control of the finances of Union coun
ty, and restored confidence in county
affairs. In 1876 he took an active
part in the Hamilton campaign and
was again elected to the legislature,
a member of the ever memorable
Wallace House, in which he was a
faithful ami diligent member, He
and G. D. Peake were the two first
members io dispute the right of
troops to keep them from the legisla
tive hall, lie still lias in his posses
sion the seal that was placed on the
out tide lock of the treasury door by
order of the Court, it being given to
him by Treasurer Leapliart when the
seal was broken by order of the Court
and the State government turned
over to Hampton.
Mr. Jefferies then retired to pri
vate life. He has for years advocat
ed smaller counties and worked espe
cially for Cherokee county. He has
been an advocate of education, and
worked earnestly for the education
of the masses. He has been identi
fied with the conservative Democrats
of the State, but has always been
liberal in Ins views and never ex
treme or fanatical. When his mind
is fully made up on any subject, he
acts witli decision and rarely changes
his opinions.
His work in behalf of Cherokee
county was a factor in its success.
After the count} had been formed,
and candidates for the various offices
were being talked of a number of Mr.
Jefferies’ ardent friends suggested his
name for the position of Senator. He
was consulted on the subject and af
ter sumo persuasion reluctantly sub
mitted to run. He had as an oppo
nent one of the brightest young men
in Cherokee county, a man welt and
favorably known, one who was popu
lar, and who bad the avowed support
of the individual mernherb of the
town council of Gaffney, and a large
and respectable following throughout
the county. His opponent was one
thut wan hard to beat, and the fact
that Mr. Jefferies was elected over
such a man speaks volumes for his
popularity.
Should he live until the legislature
convenes he will appear upon the
floor of the Senate as a representa
tive of tiie people of Cherokee coun
ty, and we feel safe in the prediction
tl:ut he will not only represent Cher
okee hut that lie will be a member in
winch the whole 8tale may justly
feel a pride.

Ghovlu, August 10.—After two
week’s drouth this section was visit
ed on last Friday night by copious
rains, which has revived vegetation
very much, and it looks now like
there will be an abundant harvest,
and that the farmer’s corn cribs and
smoke houses will yet ho kept at
home.
Mrs. Lucy Love and four of her
family are down with typhoid fever,
which is all hut two of the family.
The writer extends to them his heart

P. Green will go to Atlanta, Ga., in
a few days, for treatment for epilepsy.
Three new deacons was ordained at
Antioch lust Friday, by a Presbytery
composed of the pastor and home
and vi.-iting deacons. The ordinance
was very solemn and impressive.
A revival meeting was begun at
Antioch on Saturday, by the pastor,
assisted by Rev. A. A. Williamson,
of Baltimore, Md. There were two
sermons on Saturday by the pastor,
one in the morning and one in the
evening, the subject being the need
of a revival, and the way to obtum it,
he handled his subject in his usual
eloquent ami masterful style, making
a deep and lasting impression on his
hearers. Aev. A. A. Williamson
preached a very eloquent sermon on
Sunday evening, on regeneration, the
part God performs and the part man
performs. Mr. Williamson proved
himself to be not only a master of
music; but a master also of the teach
ings of God’s wotd.
In view of the great interest that
has been manifested by Christians as
well as the unconverted, and in view
of the condition of the pastor (he be
ing unable from overwork to hear up
longer,) it was suggested by Mr. Wil
liamson that he believed Rev. P. G.
Klsotn, of Danville, Ya., could be
brought there for a week or ten days.
After due consideration by the pastor
and deacons, they decided to extend
the call, and if he accepts he is ex
pected to bo here this P. M.. but the
writer has been unable as yet to learn
whether he has accepted or not. By
the power of the Holy Ghost through
Mr. Elsom’s preaching, and by His
power tl rough Mr. Williamson’s
singing (for he certainly sings with
power and spirit, that alone being
worth a lopg pilgrimage to hear)
every one seems to be expecting a
pentacostal shower such as has not
been witnessed since the days of our
fathers. A genuine revival of the
old time religion is what is wanted.
Every one who can should attend
these meetings, it will he edifying,
and they will be built up in the
faith. Let all the unsaved attend
and seek the salvation of their souls,
that they may escape the doom that
awaits the unsaved. A cordial invi-
j tation is extended to all to attend.
Prayer meeting and praise service
every morning at 10 o’clock, preach
ing at 11 a. in., and 8 p. in.
Miss Sudie Bird will dismiss her
school at Pine Grove, after to-day.
so all can attend the meeting.
I extend my hearty congratulations
to The Lkixiek for its magnificent
trade supplement in week before last’s
issue—that is the kind of journalism
people should support.
Mike, in his letter on the oil mill,
suggested a lesson that it is time eve
ry farmer should learn—that is. that
he pays thu fertilizer manufacturer
from eight to ten dollars per ton for
mixing his fertiiiezrs, when lie could
do it much cheaper than that at
home, and get a better article. Now
whether we get the oil mill or not,
why don’t some of our enterprising
merchants deal in the different fer
tilizing elements, (if there is one in
Cherokee county that keeps anytliing
like a stock of all the fertilizing ele
ments. this writer is unaware of it,)
it seems to me it could he made mu
tually beneficial to both farmer and
merchant. a. b.
