Levi, whose reported intention is to equip the building with machinery and to operate a large factory of some kind; just what kind of manufacturing he will engage in is not now- known. The building could tiave been filled with machinery long ago and -made a profitable concern if the owners had been a little more enterprising. They even refused offers from out side parties to jointly equip and start the factory. There are some negotiations looking to the removal of a northern cotton mill into the building. At any rate, a textile fac tory may be expected to be running in Rutherfordton before the close of the year. Vlctn>rl»’» WeUUiUjfc King. The mau who made Qu-tcu Victoria’s wedding ring is living iu Philadelphia today. “Ja, jal” ho nods when questioned about it. ”1 made it. I learned the trade in Germany.” He learned it well, too, and his hand has not yet lost its cunning, for be fills many orders from the large jewelers’ firms in the city. “But how did it happen that the commission was given to you?” The old German took off his spectacles and with an effort called up the details of the event. “I went over from Germany to Eng land,” bo answered, ‘‘to a shop iu Lon don to work. So! It was a big place. One day the word came to make the queen's wudding ring. 1 bad tbe spe cialty. I made all sneb rings, and so they gave it to me to do. That is all.” The wedding ring that signalized Victoria’s alliance with Prince Albert was one of the many instances of the queen’s preference for richness and sim plicity. It was quite plain and more solid than is usual in ordinary wedding rings. During the marriage ceremony Prince Albert wore it on his own finger, and taking it off at the proper moment pass ed it to the Archbishop of Canterbury. His grace handed it hack to the prince, who placed it on bis bride's linger. Thousands of eyes saw the gold band pass between the two royal personages, and at tbe same moment the cannon fired a royal salute, and all Loudon knew that Victoria was married. A pretty incident is related of tho re turn to Buckingham palace. Tho queen left the cathedral ungloved, and wheth er by accident or design Prince Albert inclosed hc*r majesty’s baud iu his own iu such a way as to display tho wedding ring to tho best advantage. There were 20 miles of people who saw that wed ding ring as Victoria drove back to Buckingham palaoe. And yet tho Ger man who inado it mentions the fact as an unimportant incident of his life and lives on contentedly iu a little Philadel phia store.—Philadelphia Press. The English Walnut. Possibly few trees in the old world are wore profitable than tho English walnut, which thrives in England and all over tbe uortbern part of tho conti nent of Europe. The wood is especially useful for gun stocks and for many arti cles of furniture and is fonnd profitable from trees of 10 years of age and up ward. There is always good demand for tbe nuts, so that there are two distinct lines of profit—by tbe timber and by the fruit. In our country they thrive iu any portion of the eastern states, al though as they progress northwardly the tips of the last year’s shoots are de stroyed by winter. The living portions E ush out again, however, and generally ear as abundantly as before. In the vicinity of Philadelphia there are numerous trees, planted by the early German settlers, which bear every year. Single or isolated trees sometimes fail to bear fruit on account of tbe pollen bearing flower maturing and scattering pollen before tbe nut bearing flower is io condition to receive it, nnd for this rcaeon crops, aro more assured when a number of trees are plautc*d together. In this way some of the pollen bearing catkins are conditioifed so as to be in bloom before tho time that the nut bear ing flower make their appearance.-~ s Monthly. . ,, ..I ■ , iSfcli li >~i OBITUARY. Maud, daughter of M. V. and Leno- rah Fitzgerald, was born August 20th, 1S7S, and died at her home iu Gaff ney, S. C., Sunday morning, 2 o’clock, Feb. 20th, 1897. She was a victim of that dreaded disease, consumption, and lingered for several months, during which time the writer was permitted to visit, talk and pray with her and at last to take her by the hand when she, by the power of God, was enabled to say, ‘‘I accept Christ as my Savior” —was born again and received the white stone on which is written a new’ name. Correspondingly with the teachings of inspiration and in keeping with the great interest of this fleeting life, she joined the church, and from that time on used her influence in point ing others to the blood of the Latch. Like a flower just blooming into bright life, when the rays of her mor tar sun was fast kissing away the dew drops of girlhood, when she was first casting out her brilliant, noble rays and shedding her sweet fragrance upon life’s breeze the Great Gardener, the Redeemer of a fallen world and Shepherd of Israel nnd Israel’s suc ceeding tribes, stepped down and broke the love sodded surface, took the opening flower and planted it to blossom in eternal spring, forever to wave in the gentle zephyrs and revel in the sunlight of Heaven to become a bright particle and together with the redeemed reflect the light of God’s reconciled countenance parallel with eternal summer. Thus it is that the attractive pow ers of Heaven are constantly increas ing and may we, by this same power, be enabled to follow her flight and mount with her spirit above, escape to mansions of light and lodge in the eden of love.

Ttie Letter He Wrote Concerning His Crime. The following is an exact copy of a letter left by Sidney Grigg, who killed Ella Williams and then sui cided. several weeks ago near Falls- ton, N. C. It was furnished The Ledger by a friend who has been visiting in that vicinity recently: To those who want to know . The reason I am going to kill Ella Wil liams and myself is because she re fused to marry me. When we were going to school last winter she sent word by Leala Hoyle that she thought more of me than any boy in school, and I wrote her a letter and she an- scred it very lovingly. We wrote on as long as I went to school—my sis ter went and I sent the letter by her. When we started back to school this summer we wrote to one another again, and she said she dearly loved me, and I certainly loved her, and didn’t care anything for any other girl. She would write in a good many letters'‘as sure as the grape grows on the vine, 1 will be yours if you will be mine.” I thought she meant it hut I see she did not. Tho letters are all at home in the bureau drawer to show for themselves. I’ve heard people say that a man with a sound mind would not kill himself, but I have got as good sense as I ever had. I was about half crazy onetime; I was a fool about two or three weeks; I was about Thanksgiving day. The reason why was my father and two other men went to Uncle Marian’s to go rabbit hunting and I went to school that day and went around Palmers and got some wine and I felt a great deal better. All the people I hate to leave is father, mother, sister and Frank Normen. I hope my school mates will not let a g—d— woman fool them so bad. I believed she loved me some, but mighty d— little. If I fail on the attempt to kill Ella Wil liams and myself I will always hate it. I loved her better than any per son or thing on this earth. My father and mother has always been good to me and I believe they are Christians. Ella Williams is at our house tonight and if I had a Tiistol and some morphine I would do the job tonight. She was the only girl I ever loved and I felt just like life would be a curse to me, instead of u pleasure, without her. I hope everybody will try to get to a better country than this, if there is any better. Perhaps some people may say I never received any letters from her, but my sister carried all of them but one or two and they are there to show for themselves. She was one of the g—d—ts flatterenest girls I ever saw. I am very sorry to haft to kill her but I don’t see any other way of getting around it. Peo ple say hell is an awful place but 1 can stand it if a lybody else can. It was on the night of the 14th of Feb ruary that I wrote this. 1 will kill her us soon as she comes. I received 7t> letters from her, 75 are at home and one in my pocket. I am drunk now, no man knows an other’s thoughts and feelings. I love Ella Williams more than tongue can tell. I would have never killed her if she would have been my wife. The letter here in my pocket is the last one I got from her. I want my father to show all the letters to all who want to see them. I am writing this while sitting on a stump by the •road that goes to John Blacks. I told a lie—I hate to leave all the people in the world; it has been in my head to kill her if she didn’t marry me. When I die Floyd Williams loses a good friend, I hope he will never look down on my father for this for he, nor no one else, hud any hand in this. I didn't tell my best friend what I was going to do. I want my father to let Gettie Falls have ten dollars to buy an organ. The reason for that is, I want Gettie to beat Mim York. Gettie is a good girl and Mim is a proud, selfish girl.

Pheasant Grove, Mar. 15.—The birthday celebration of Mrs. Artilicy Huskey, Thursday, March 10th, was largely attended. All her children were there and many others. There were seventy in all. It was her seventy-seventh birthday. She is hale and hearty at the age of three score years and seventeen. Some of the people of this section are very much bothered about war. Some of the bovs go to town twice a week to get the latest war news. I do not know whether they are want ing to get off to the war or be ready to hide when they find out they must go. I think if all The Ledger readers will read Dr Talmage’s sermons in The Ledger’they will be well paid for the money they pay for the paper. k. o. H. Wacu’t Familiar With the Word.

Cherokee Falls, March 15.—We are having some very rainy weather now, and it is mud ! mud ! Mrs. Maria Batie, Colonel Algood’s mothor-in-law, departed this life on the 1.4th inst. at 4:80 a. in., after several days of great suffering. The farmers and gardners seem to be getting on very nicely with their i work. The mill work is on a boom. We can truthfully say that tbe overseers here are the kindest and most honest men we have met for some time. We have a very good Sunday School here. It could not be otherwise with the superintendent we have. We heard a. very nice sermon from Mr. Therrel last Sunday night. He is only seventeen and by God’s help no doubt will make an excellent preacher some day. One of Gaffney’s most prominent merchants made us a call lust week. The writer heard some of the girls say they would be glad if he would come again. The health of this place is very good. War seems to be the main topic of conversation here. It is to be hoped though that we will never realize the word war again. Little Girl. To Benefit Others. The Editor of The Bloomfield Iowa Farmer Writea of the Good Done by DR. MILES' NEW HEART CURE. It is impossible for tho system to withstand tho demands made upon it just at this season, with out the assistance of n good puri fying and strengthening tonic. The changes which Nature decrees shall take place each epriug are so severe that a breakdown is almost sure to come. It is wiso all possible assistance be given during this period, as upon this purifying process depends the health for the entire summer. Everybody just now should take a thorough course of Swift’s Specific which thoroughly cleanses the blood of all tho accumulated im purities, tones up and strengthens the entire system, and aids Nature in renovating and renewing the body so as to render it healthy and strong. Those who purify their blood with 8. S. S. at this season are well fortified against the many forms of disease so prevalent dur ing the dreaded heated term, for it has been demonstrated that the eystem that is thoroughly purified in the spring is well prepared to resist disease all summer. No other remedy on the market io equal to Swift’s Specific as a spring medicine, because it is the only purely vegetable blood rem edy and is guaranteed absolutely free from potash, mercury and all other minerals. It cleanses, puri fies, builds up and strengthens. Insist on S. S. S., for there is noth ing half as good. m m C. JEFFERIES,4~ GAFFNEY, S. C. Attorney and Counsellor at Law.
