G THK LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., JANUARY 20, 1808 FROM LOWER CHEROKEE. THE “SAGE’S” INTERESTING LETTER. Men and Measures Discussed and all the News Diched up in Palata ble Shape for Ledger Readers. Etta Jane, Jan. 17.—The C. E. So ciety met at Mrs. Sallie Foster’s last night. A good turnout of members and visitors were present. It will meet at Mr. F. A. Goforth's next Sabbath night, 2drd instant. The Abingdon Creek Sunday School re-organized yesterday. Rumor says that some of our .friends who moved West several years ago are back here looking for homes. What has got wrong with the land of “Hitters” and honey? Miss Alice Goforth was sick a few days ago, but we are glad to note her recovery. From what I learn Cherokee coun ty has about twenty applicants for Supervisor of Registration. Wo are sure to get a good man out of that number if those who make the selec tion will be careful. Mr. R. E. Kerr has moved to the Tolleson place, Mr. J. E. Eratton to the “Billy” Lipscomb place, and Martin Roberts to the Eliager Parker place. The Hopewell brass band, colored, gave us some music last Friday night. They play very well. The colored Baptist people will have a very nice church at Mt. Taber when they get it finished. The Misses Fowler, of Kelton, and Mis« Bentley, of this section, were visiting last week. They had an en joyable time. Bro. 1\ S. Webber came near being thrown by a young mule yesterday while on his way to church. Miss Grace Whisonant is busy post ing up the books of iur father, lion. C. W. Whisonant while he is attend ing the Legislature. She is one of Cherokee's most accomplished young ladies. 1 feel that all the old Confederate soldiers and their sons and daugh ters will join me in lamenting the loss to our common country by the death of Rev. Robert Lewis Dabney, D. D..L. L.D.,which took place recent ly at Victoria, Texas, lie was be yond doubt one of our greatest and best men, and “his works will live alter him.” His writings are ir al most every household in our native land, us well as in Europe ^ind his wholesome teaching, both by pre cept and example, lias formed the basis of charaeler for many of Ameri ca’s most useful and distinguished men and women. From the chaplaincy of the 18th Virginia Regiment, at his own re- , quest, he was General “Stonewall” f Jackson’s Chief of Stall. He was the right-hand bower and spiritual advi ser of that distinguished soldier, whose fame bus filled two continents. He has published some of the best text books we have in our libraries outside of Gullible, to-wit: “Life of the Rev. Dr. F. S. Sampson,” j “Life of Gen. T. J. (Stonewall) Jack- sou, “Sacred Rhetoric, “Defence of Virginia and the South,” “Sensualis- [tic Philosophy of the Nineteenth Century Considered,” “A course of Systematic and Polemic Theology” [and “The Christian Sabbath.” His remains were intered at Hump- jden Sydney, Vu., under the shadow [of the Theological Seminary over which ho presided so long, training [ininUters for the Presbyterian church. From Rev. R. P. Smith, of Gasto nia (N. C.,) General Evangelist of Meckieuburg (N. C.) Presbytery, I have received a summary of the work done by him during the year mding October 1st. 1897, which will [no doubt be of interest of his large I circle of friends and acquaintances , throughout Cherokee, Spartanburg, York and Union counties. |(1) Miles traveled 7,P.)fi (a) Private conveyance 1,220 (bj Public conveyance 6,276 (2j Traveling expenses $100.05 |(fij Churches visited (for vari ous purposes) 39 [(1) Established mission points (served) 10 [(5) Places visited with a view of establishing missions 5 1(0) Sermons -preached 100 |(7) Congregational and other like meetings held fj.) |(8) Letters and postals written. .010 1(9; Church buildings commenced 1 |(u) C iinplcted 1 |(1U) O ;e church organized from a mission. No record kept of the professions linatie, nor of the additions to Gie [churches; statistics on this point [were left with the sessions to keep. Much was done in the nature of Ipustoral work that cun not he enu- [inerate 1 in a brief report like this. The best antidote for sleeplessness |is a clear conscience. Last week the legatees of the es tate of \v. K. V. Estes, deceased, pivlded his estate among themselves Hr mutual consent. <; B Fowler, IW. b. Wilkinson, J. J. Robinson and |\V. <; Fowler were the committee to japprow the bonds. Giles M. Hill took a trip to Gslf- ley last week. The young people hud a play at |Mr Fowler'S last Thursday liight. Lum Mullinux was elected violinist, assisted by W. T. Osment. ] John R. Miliwood, of Gaffney, was down this way lost week, and called upon his old friends. We are al ways glad to see him. John wants to beautify his premises at Gaflney with weeping willows from lower Cherokee. Dr. \V. J. Douglass and C. F. In man were hunting birds lust week on Gilky and Thickety creeks. W. E. Mabrey gave us a pleasant call last Friday while on his way to our County seat. What has become of old Flaw? It s time we were hearing something from him. Mr. John Bentley gave the young people a party one night last week. Hon. C. W. Whisonant left home on Monday morning of last week to attend the State Legislature. He had a very sore arm from the effect of vaccination. There is talk of the young people making up a party and surprising some of our neighbors one night this week. Whoever they visit will be expected to let them dance. Mr. Gaines Brown, of Hopewell, and C. M. Stuart was in this section last Friday on business. Mr. W. B. Leich gave us a pleas ant call last Saturday. He is one of York county’s best farmers. The young people are having an enjoyable time every now and then. It is hard to tell what denomination takes the lead in dancing, whether Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist, or members of the big church. The exhaustive article of Ex-Judge Hudson on homicides in the United Slates is shocking to every lover of law and order. It should be copied by all the papers and read not only in this State but in the nation, as well. He says. “The whole number of homicides reported during 1891- 1895 inclusive was 43,902—figures below rather than above the true mark. In 189(* the number was 10,(552.” We are made to ask this question? How much better are we than the people of Sodom? Not long since I saw a crowd of “mumble-peg” players sitting around on the damp ground throwing an old chicken-cutting knife, and ever now and then some one would have to root up the peg. I don’t see why a pretty girl would rather stick her nose to the ground anywhere than kiss an ugly boy, especially when his face is clean. To-day is the J17th anniversary of the battle of Gowpens, and it is time that'that sacred spot was crowned with a suitable monument to com memorate the notable event. Sena tor Tillman seems to think that there will be some prejudice among the northern people against having it bought by Gie United States and converted into a National park. If such is the case (and I hardly think it possible) it’s time for those bla tant demagogues up there to hush up their laudations of the Union and retire to the privacy of political ob livion. No, Senator, they can’t af ford to “go back” on Cowpens and hold their grasp upon the liberty- loving people whom they are suppos ed to represent. Mr. William McAbee was to see us last Saturday on business. Dr. Sum Foster was on the York side of the river last week looking after some pateints over there. We give here a problem found in Teacher’s Examination paper—first grade—and hope some of our teach ers will give us the answer: Bought the following bills on eight months: July 5, 1897, $<>20.25; August 11, $240.50; September 20, $321.04; Oc tober 12, $510.38; November 1, $308.- 17; when ought a note for the whole amount be dated? The best definition I have heard of woman is “the first evidence of God’s love for man.” She is man’s inferior physically, his equal mentally, and his superior spiritually. Misses Jessie and Maggie Estes spent the night with Miss Jessie Strain lust Friday night. if the old sign is reliable we will 1 ave a good crop this year—the moon shone very little on last Christmas night. W. T. Osment, constable, had bu siness in tiie Mercer neighborhood last week. Mr. "Kay” Littlejohn was in this section on Saturday Just. The small pox scare is taking a firm hold on some of our people, and rumor has it that we are surrounded by that pestiferous malady. John Estes says, “if you catch a disease from a ‘nigger’ it’s worse than from wiiite folks.” The farmers of this community are busy turning stubble lands. They begun early this year. Keep it up brethren. Some men’get rich by hard work, and others by having good wires. Some preachers are always shoot ing off both barrels at meanness a hundred miles away, and never burst a cap at anything the devil is doing in sight of the meeting house. In that home where there are plen ty of good books to read, and music both vocal and instrumental, there you find a happy family, it matters nothing how poor they may be In this world’s goods. When (hiuirhti-r trusti im>t.jcr with n-- crets mi rnnre. • Her ship ik nearing a dungeroua shore.” A few nights ago I overheard a par ty of boys and girls talking about large salaries. One said he would’nt want a salary of $5,000. another said she would like to get a $50,000salary. Which one of them spoke the honest truth? Mr. ri. F. Fates hud a hog to die suddenly lust Saturday night. It was fat and she ate corn a few min utes before it died. Dr. Hum Htraln, assisted by J. F. Estes, made a post mortem examination and pronounced It rupture ot the jugular vein, and overflow of blood to the heart, super induced by lifting it over the fence by Gie ears. It weighed about 125 pounds. The Confederate Memorial Litera ry Society, of Richmond, Ya., Is do ing a grand work in preserving sketches of the private soldiers of Gie Confederacy. Blanks for this pur pose will be sent on application to Mrs. James N. Dunlap. 397 West Grace street, Richmond, Va. We regret to hear of the misfor tune of comrade Moses Wood, whose house was burned recently. He is one of Cherokee’s best men—a citi zen of the highest type and a soldier of distinguished valor. He com manded his company, the famous “Thickety Guards, (Co.F.; 15th S. C. volunteers, in some of the principal battles in which the army of North ern Virginia was engaged, and was in command of it when it surrendered at Hillsborough, N. C., April 2(5th, 1805.

If the liver bo inactive, you have a bilious look ; if your stomach he disordered, you have a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys be affected, you have a pinched look. Secure good health, and you will surely have good looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good Alterative and Tonic. Acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys.

I have, Mr. Editor, in the last forty years married perhaps hundreds of couples, often average two or three a week, and have thought I hud more than my share of that kind of work to do, for the greater part of them have dismissed me with the heartiest shake of the hand and, maybe a gentle pat on the shoulder, all this braced up with a good promise. I’ll remember you before long. But I never could exactly find out what was meant by being remembered. I have thought sometimes maybe it meant they would name a boy forme in the near future, you know, or something of that nature. I am glad to say, how ever, that in my visit to my old coun tries, Florence and Darlington, a few weeks ago, I met with quite a number in my short stay, who was glad to see me.and 1 /v as no less glad to sue them, who said: “Don’t you remember you married me?” and I had forgotten it, and never would have thought of it again, so you seel am still remem bered. Who knows, unlikely things do happen sometimes, and 1 may be remembered when they make their wills, and I may get a legacy yet. Some of it was awful hard work, to get to be remembered. I have had to swim the Jakes in the swamp of Lynches River when it was so dark I could only get u faint resemblance of the gray horse that was hitched to my buggy, because at a stylish wedding, that could not come off until 9 o’clock in a long winter night and, by the time supper was served, it was midnight, and then the awful news comes to the preacher that no arrange ments had been made for him and that really his presence was not a ne cessity any longer. That fellow said he would remember me, and 1 am re membering him. I could tell of oth ers that would put that so far in the shade that it would he hardly count ed, and of dozens that I have had to ride from ten to forty miles, and they all said, J will remember you. Well, it is pleasant to be remem bered, especially if it is for some deed of kindness,but that don’t do the poor preacher much good. It don't help to feed the babies or keep the wolf from the door and, I have come to the conclusion long ago, that it is an ugly way to do the preacher. And if it should ever happen round that I was to try it over, hut there is not much chance for that fori can hardly walk a mile today, and have to carry my stick, hut, 1 said strange things do happen sometimes. I knew of a man who, for some years before his good old wife died, used two crutches but, strange as it may seem, it is true, lie soon could get on with one. and then with only a stick, and ha straightened up and cleaned up and married again. But us I was going to say, if I ever try it again I will wait until I am sure that I have money enough to pay the preacher, as 1 did at first, until he said enough —hold on. Isaac J. NEwnnuity.
