The ladies are requested to bring
well filled baskets and plenty of flow
ers for the occasion.
Last night we hud a gentle rain
which lias revived vegetation very
much.
Farmers are generally complaining
of bad stands of cotton particularly
that planted early and on red land.
Several of our people attended
preaching at Mount Tabor church
yesterday. Among them Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Estesand their sisters, Misses
» Oregon and Ola Estes.
Sammio Strain is on the sick list.
Mr. A. G. Davis will teach a class
in vocal music at the Gaffney cotton
mill this summer. He is a worthy
man and we commend him to the
parents who put their children under
him for instruction.
Farmers will now have nil they
can do to fight and conquer ‘•General
Green.” Several of our people were
in town last Saturday on business of
various kinds. The shutting up of
the O. P. shops in town lias already
hud a Saturday effect on this commu
nity.
We learn that a few ‘‘blind tigers”
were lurking in our midst lust week.
They will perhaps get their eyes
open soon.
Oats were needing rain very bad
and the rain last night came in the
very nich of time to save them from
complete failure.
The superstition among some of our
colored people could be no worse
were they living even in the jungles
of Africa. Last week. I am told, a
woman in this neighborhood was
taken had off with something which
n superstitious parlance, is called
•’tricked.” The assistance of a pro
fessional conjurer was sought and,
at last accounts, ‘'the frog” had got
near the too of the patient and would
jump out into the fire sometime in
,the absence of the woman’s husband,
he treatment of these demons are
ept profoundly secret in order that
It may have the desired effect.
Neither the patient nor those of the
amily will tell anything and the con-
urer will disclaim any faith in this
onsensical treatment to those who
an’t be victimized bv it.
Manchester, Ya. He gives a glowing
account of‘'Memorial day” in Rich
mond, Va. Oakwood cemetery
where 14,000 confederate soldiers are
buried was a scene of unparalleled
enthusiasm. All the military and
civic organizations of the city, in
cluding thi* militury camps of U. S.
volunteers, together with an immense
throng of the noble ami patriotic men
and women of the “Old Dominion”
turned out to do honor to the memory
and dust of the confederate soldiers
who sleep in that hallowed spot.
Bands of music filled Hie air with their
martial strains while confederate
flags floated proudly over the graves
of their bravo defenders, of whom we
say:
II was not theirs to win renown
To brijrhtrii history’s pities.
To have their names tfo Iliumlerinjf down
Throujrh ail the cominn Hires.
No shaft or fiiomimeiit ul stone
is seen above the sod:
Their names, their lives are now unknown
To all except their God.
No mother’s tear now marks the place
Where they in <|uiet sleep;
No sister, sweetheart, friend or wife
Tlieir patient vipil keep.
No father’s mourn or brother’s sigh
Will stir their lust long rest,
liut who will judge their saerillco
l!ut Him who kno-.veth best.
For He alone the cause will try;
We only see in part;
For while man Judges by the aet
He judges by the heart.
May God bless the noble women of
Virginia, for they never forget to
strew the graves of our brethren and
comrades with flowers and keep
watch over the grounds ever sacred to
southerners.
We are glad to learn of the success
of our friend at Clifton in raising
the handsome sum of $44.45 for
church work. This is a good index
us to the contentment and thrift c.f
the mill people who are always ready
to do their part in any charitable
and Christian work. There are no
people in the land who will contrib
ute more liberally of their means to
dissenting and worthy causes than
those of Clifton No. 1. .i. f.. s.

stand of cotton.
We had a nice min Sunday night

J. L. S. please answer this for we
don't understand why some of our
people do this and get along seem

all the time.
The health of our cofmnunity is

Miss Cora Humes visited Miss
Ellen Kirby Saturday night.
Some of our young people went to
Goucher to the convention Sunday.
We are having a splendid Sunday
school at Asbury.
I think we could get some of our
young boys around here to go to
Cuba to fight the Spaniards. At
least it seems they want to go if all
reports are true. We wish them
great success.

Statk Line, May 10.—We are hav

looking well. Cotton has a bad stand
in many places.
There is some sickness in this

Arkther great discovery has boon
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. “Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but

Elgin, May 10.—A few weeks ago
Kewhin Smith and Miss Dora Pitman
were married. Last Thursday Mr.
and Mrs. Smith took a trip to Chester
and returned on the evening train to
Lancaster. They stopped at the
Crocket hoarding house for dinner.
While there Smith told his wife that
lie was going out to attend to some
business and that lie would be back
in a few minutes. This was tiio last
seen of him by his wife. She waited
in vain for ills return. It is not
known what has become of him, but
it is thought that he has another
wife and has returned to her. His
last wife has fulfilled one portion of
the scripture, “1 will arise and go to
my father.”
W. II. Harris has bought another
fine mule and is farming quite exten
sively though lit* still holds his posi
tion on the railroad^
I. W. Moore has sold his farm for
$15,000. It is rather a mystery to the
community to know what the Cap
tain intends to do unless he intends
to go to Cuba.
Mrs. I. XV. Moore is visiling her
mother, Mrs. Myra A. Gaffney, near
Gaffney. We wish for her a pleasant
visit and hope that when site returns
she will not find the Captain gone
astray. We saw him at church yes
terday with a large bouquet on.
Tho oat crop is looking fine in this
section.
Cotton is looking bad. Your cor
respondent has but little sympathy
for tlie cotton farmers. I am a hog
and hominy farmer. I haven’t put
in a single seed of cotton. 'My entire
crop consists of oats, corn and peas,
atm I believe tiiat I have some of tho
finest oats that I have ever seen, and
I only used twenty biv hels of cotton
seed to tho acre for manure. I am
sure that I will make forty bushels
to the acre.
Tha farmers of this community
met at Elgin last Saturday and or
ganized a club known as the Auxili
ary Club, They elected a full set of
cfHcers. Tlie membership is about
thirty, i do hope this organization
will not turn cut l : k“ the Farmer's
Convention did last fall—ail talk and
nothing done.
Now farmers, do reduce your cot
ton acreage, for if this war should
go on for many months you won’t
get more than two or three cents for
your cotton, and you can’t eat it, so
what are you going to do with it?
How cun you afford to pay four cents
for flour and eight cents for meat
with five cents cotton. If you have
a bad stand of cotton, and most of
you have, plow it up and plant it in
corn nr peas. But a great many say
if I don’t plant cotton I can’t get a
lien. Away with your lien, for that
lion law has been one of the greatest
curses to farmers of any law that has
ever been passed in the state of South
Carolina or ever will be, and yet you
will perish yourselves to death to get
to run a lien.

Private Bryan.
[Greenwood Index.}
After denouncing in severe terms
the self-seeking and jealous militia
men of his State for their disgraceful
wrangling, Hon. Wiliiatn J. Bryan
lias offered his services.as a private
for the impending war. He hesi
tated about taking this step from
the fact that the carping and envious
elements which fight him on all oc
casions would accuse him of demagog-
ism.
But Bryan has volunteered, and
the great American people note it
with satisfaction and pride. Having
won an exulted place in the hearts of
tlie people as a civic leader, he pro
poses to stay with them in the strife
Of arms. In view of his faithfulness
to every duty of citizenship so far
the people accept his action in good
faith, knowing that it is only in con
sonance with a career of distinguish
ed fidelity to the public welfare.
It is probable that Bryan will go
into the war as a piivute and remain
one. It cannot be expected that lie
will take high official rank, having
no military training. His example
is therefore inspiring and will doubt
less bring many people to a sense of
dutv—that of defending the common
country under ail conditions and
under any circumstances.
Men of the Bryan mould have ever
maintained American honor. Not
generals, but privates, win battles.
All honor to Private William J.
Bryan.

following persons: B. F. Bonner.
\Y. 8am Lipscomb, Edward Lipscomb,
8. M. Bagwell, Revs. B. P. Robertson,
Hamrick Beil, Hickson, Langston

mendous crowd out on Sunday, so
many that the largo church could
ne t hold the people.
Tlie mass meeting on Sunday morn
ing was addressed by 8. M. Bagwell.
Revs. Bell and Hickson. The talks
were all good.
Rev. J. A. Beil preached the ser
mon at 11 o’clock and. to say it was
well done and well appreciated by
the largo congregation, doesn’t do the
sermon justice. His theme was
“Consecration.” For about forty-
five minutes he kept the attention of
his hearers.
It is sad to have to report the
death of Mrs. Mary Green. She died
at the residence of her son-in-law,
John Hancock, ou last Thursday
night and was buried at Brown’s
Chapel Friday evening in the pres
ence of a large number of friends
and relatives. Rev. XV. J. Langston

About the War, Monroe Mize and

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Accotd'n’ to the ginerai surround-
in’s and surcumforances of the pres
ent situation tlie war is the talk of
the day. wherein, you understand, I
was a talkin’ to Munroe Mize ’tother
day an'he said: “Flaw, you know
a few weeks ago 1 was a tel!in’ of you
how I hearn they was a t. hoot in’ of
mortar an’ one devilment an’ another
in them big guns an’ iiad guns that
would shoot till the ammunation give
out an’ then they would throw rocks
to heat seven bits the balance of the
day, well the latest reports say they
have got guns now that shoots these
rolls of barb wire at a distance of a
mile an’, you know, when you rub up
agin ’em easy how they do you up,
an’ what in the name of common
sense do you reckon they will do to a
man when they are shot cut of a gun
tiiat shoots mortar an’ throws rocks
a mile?”
There is more people than old Flaw
tiiat thinks that judgement day is at
hand. You understand, why I say
this is because I was a passin’ by a
colored church ’tother day an’ whilst
a doin’ so I hearn ’em a singin’ of a
familious hymn an’ what 1 cculd
catch went on at this:—
Believers. *tain’t so powerful fur

When they wound up this famil

up from where he set an’ said,
“Lawd! Lawd! but ain’t the Bible

Star Farm Statements.

Star Farm, May 16.—We had a
good season yesterday afternoon.
The farmers were glad to see it Cot
ton that was planted before the big
ruin awhile buck lias a good stand.
We had u nice time at Goucher
church last Friday, Saturday and'
Sunday. A large number of people
were at the convention. The men
spoke well on ‘‘What was tho duty of
a church to its Sunday school?” I
think the church ought to support
tho Sunday school, as some of the
men said.
I spent three days at tho conven
tion and felt at home while there.
The people around Goucher are nice
folks.
Mr. Chalk has a good Sunday
school at the Ravenna school house.
The subject of the lesson yesterday
was “Watchfulness,” and Mr. Chalk
gave a good talk on the subject. The
golden text was “Watch, therefore,
for ye 1-now not what hour your Lord

An Accident At The Lime Quarry.
While working at the quarry of
the Limeetono Springs Lime Co.,
yesterday morning Sam Dunnaway, u
colored man. was fatally injured.
Hu was standing on the ground beside
tho incline tramway over which the
stone is conveyed from the quarry to
the kiln when a cur loaded with
stone in some unaccountable manner
became detached from it’s mooring
and began a rapid descent of tho
incline. The unfortunate man lost his
presence of mind and started to meet
the car on the tramway. When the
car reached him it was going at the
rale of about forty miles an hour.
The victim was hurled into the air
and fell a distance of about fifteen
feet, striking his forehead ou the
mass of crushed stone below. The
whole upper part of the forehead was
crushed in. The unfortunate man
died in about two hours after the
accident.
Sam was a quiet, peaceable and
unofftnding colored man and was
well liked by his employers and asso
ciates. This is the first serious acci
dent that has occurred ut the quarry
in a number of years and is sincerely
regretted by all.
Would you know how to give? Put
yourself in tho place of him who re
ceived.

Cured of Blood Poison After Fifty-Two
Doctors Failed.
Blood Balm Co.. Atlanta, Ga.
Gentlemen:—In 1872 a small pim
ple brone out on my leg. It began
eating and in four months I was
treated by a physician of Talladega
county, Ala., where I lived eighteen
years. He relieved it for a short
while. In six weeks it broke ouc
again in both legs, also on my shoul
der. Two small bones were taken
out. It continued until 1876. In
this time I had twelve different phy
sicians. They told me the only rem
edy was amputation; tiiat it could
never be cured. For six months I
could not wall*, a stop. I went to
Mineral Wells, Texas, spent $300.00;
came home; went to Hot Springs.
Ark..stayed nine months—ail failed to
cure me. In 1837 I came back to
Birmingham, Ala. I was advised to
write you. which I did. You wrote
me that B. B. B. would cure mo, and
I could get the medicine from Nabors
Jc Morrow, Druggists, of our city. I
bought ten bottles and before I had
finished my fifth bottle my legs began
to heal, and in less than two months
I was sound and well. That has
been nearly two years ago, and no
sign of Ita return yet. I have spent
in ca^li over $400 00, and B. B. B.
done the work tiiat all the rest failed
to do. You have my permission lo
publish this. I have traveled so
much trying to get well that my cure
is well known. Fifty-two doctors
have treated me In the last 17 yean.
All they did was to take what money
l had, and done me no good. I am
now a well man. Prof. 0. H. Raxgkk,
