IT WAS AN AUSPICIOUS OCCA
SION.
The Children Were Highly Congratu
lated and Many Kind Words
Spoken of Their Teach
ers and Leaders.
(Correspondence of The Ivedger.)
EttaJame, Aug. 8.—Last Thurs
day was Children’s Day at Salem.
Notwithstanding the morning was
inauspicious and the rain fell in tor
rents, yet the congregation began to
assemble at an early hour and by
10:30 o’clock the grounds were liter
ally covered with people, horses,
buggies, wagons and other vehicles.
To this was added a full turnout of
pedestrians. Cherokee, York and
Union counties were represented in
tho throng. By 11 o’clock the
musky clouds lifted their veil and let
the bright rays of the sun fall upon
the landscape like a heavenly bene
diction upon the occasion. The
children were in their happiest mood,
and the older people, too, looked for
ward with bright hopes and Intense
anxiety for the success of tho occa
sion. We must not fail to mention
the presence and help we received
from the Mesopotamia, Abingdon
Creek, Hickory Grove and other
schools who were present to take
part in the work.
The house was densely crowded
during the exercises in the forenoon.
The deorations were modest and un
pretentious.
Over the speaker’s stand In large
letters of evergreens was “welcome."
Underneath this hung the Salem
Sunday school banner, the inscrip
tion on which was a cross. On the
transverse beam of which hung a
white wreath surmounted with the
words “Faith, Hope and Charity."
Underneath this and forming a semi
circle was this sentence, “God is
love;" on the right side of the stand
hung the United States flag and on
the left the Sunday school Hag on
which was inscribed: “From Beth
lehem’s Manger to Calvary’s Cross;"
on the reverse side was, “It is finish
ed."
The house was called to order at 11
a. m., and the proceedings were open
ed with prayer by Rev. Douglass
Symthe. 1’rof. R. A. Foster led the
singing.
The following is a list of the sub
jects and speakers:
Happy Welcome, Asa Blackwell.
Dear glad day, Willie Blackwell.
Call to robin, Willie Kirby.
Children’s day, Miss Mattie Lee.
Looking towards the light, Miss
Mary Blackwell.
The nicest way, Edgar Blackwell.
On the road of life, Miss Zella
Blackwell.
The upward way, Miss Mamie
Comer.
Recitation, Miss Maude Mitchell.
As God gives, Miss Effie Hill.
Is this your hand, Miss Jesse
Strain.
Recitation, Miss Pearl Mitchell.
The bird’s song, Miss Effie Bratton.
The bird’s concert, Miss Jesse
Estes.
A rainbow band, Misses Lottie In
man, Jesse Kerr, Jesse Estes, Jesse
Strain, Mattie Lee, Fannie Goforth
and Alta Kirby.
Sermon from the flowers, Misses
Ada Reynolds and Inez Hill.
Saucy soutli wind, Misses Jesse
Strain, Mattie Lee and Maggie Estes.
Somebody’s darling. Leslie Black-
well.
Wreaths and branches. Messrs.
Doretha Lee, Alice Goforth, Ethel
Strain, Mattie Estes, Maude Black-
well, Oregon Estes, Agnes Garner,
Jesse Kerr, Jesse Strain and Mattie
Lee.
The country boy and the city dude,
a dialogue by Sam Strain and Noble
Blackwell.
The speaking was interspersed with
music by the choir and congrega
tion.
At the conclusion of the speaking
a recess was taken for dinner.
The afternoon was spent in social
conversation by the old folks and
love maxing by the young and mar
riageable ones, while quite a large
number of both sexes assembled in
the house to listen to the music by
the choir and the splendid addresses
on the subject of Sunday school
work|and5education, byJ.Messrs. S. M.
Rice, Jr. E. U.. R. C. Slprratt. W. O.
Hamrick and \V. C. Mabry, until
three o’clock, p. ra., when the bene
diction was pronounced and thus an
other and one of the most successful
chapters was added to the history of
old Salem church.
Our friends in the far, far, west
and elsewhere, when the Ledger
comes will be giad to hear that this
was one of the most successful
“Children’s Day" we have ever had.
The children were highly congratu
lated and many kind words of encour
agement were spoken of their leaders
and teachers. Owing to the unfavor
able morning some of the children
did not get there much to the regret
of their friends.
Mrs. Pacolette Wilkins, who had
not been there In thirty years, was
at Salem on Children’s day.
Mr. George Foster, of McConnell-
ville, and his daughter, Miss Annie,
visited friends and relatives in this
section last week.
Mrs. Oscar Sarratt, of Gould, pass
ed here last Friday on her return
from a visit to relatives and friends
at Gaffney City.
The most affecting scene ever wit
nessed in ancient or modern warfare
was that enacted before Santiago
when Captain Philip, of the battle
ship Texas, called his soldiers around
him while his guns were still hot
froth use and the pall and smoke of
battle had not lifted from the scene.
He told his men to lift their caps,
saying, he believed in God and he
wanted them to give thanks for their
success. Truly the spirit of “Stone
wall” Jackson and Robert E. Lee
still lives in the hearts of American
soidiers. No such a campaign has
been conducted since the days of
Joshua and Gideon.
In this hour of triumph tho Amer
ican people should hear the Scriptual
echo which finds a response in every
heart that, “Help cometh from the
Lord, who made heaven and earth."
The glories of the army and navy
were doubtless guided by the Divine
hand, and our gratitude should be
manifested to Him wlio is ever on the
side of Christianity and civilization.
Cuba and the Philippines have been
locked against Christian civilization
for centuries. The advance guard of
the marching armies of the Cross of
the Gospel has been planted there
and the day of new light is dawning
upon the Isles of the sea.
So long as this nation recognizes
God in human affairs its future is as
sured. We need never fear that any
territorial acqusitlon will wear weak
ness or intolerable burdens so long
as this sentiment animates our na
tional leaders (both civil and mili
tary) and that same sentiment is
shared by the common people.
Before this letter reaches our read
ers the county campaign will be on
in full blast, and 1 am proud tothinR
that the intelligent voters of Chero
kee county will demand a clean can
vass and a fair open tight between
contestants for the various offices
within their gift. The man or set of
men who stoop to low, dirty meas
ures in order to ride into office on
the demerit of his opponent rather
than his own merits will covet defeat.
There never has been a time in the
history of the State when tho mass
of the voters were more determined
to act upon their own convictions
than they now are.
1 had the pleasure ot attending
Elbethel church last Saturday. Prof.
B. F. Beam is teaching a singing
school there. His class sings well
for the time they have been in prac
tice. I notice married people in the
class. This is a healthful sign.
Married, and even old people, are a
great help to tho young in our
schools. We always find the good
people of that community doing
their full share of church work.
Rev. R J. Tate, pastor, assisted
by his brother, Rev. W. T. Tate, of
Pelzer, began a series of meetings at
Elbethel last Saturday. Rev. W. T.
Tate preached the opening sermon
from this text: “And let us not bo
weary in well doing, for in due sea
son wo shall reap, if we faint not.
As we have therefore opportunity,
let us do good unto all men, espec
ially unto them who are of the house
hold of faith." Galatians (5 :'J and 10.
What he said was very appropriate
at the beginning of a revival meeting
and he fully acquinted his hearers
with their present opportunities to
do good and pictured in unquestion
able language the result of a neglect
on their part to act now.
Ten years ago Mr. Tate was pastor
of that church and he spoke feelingly
of the many changes that had taken
place since he left there—of the now
vacant seats which was then filled
by prominent leaders. During his
discourse the speaker frequently
filled up so as t^necessitate a pause
of several momajB^J'fcforo proceeding.
1’rof. Beam prdjnle&fit the organ and
Rev. R. J. Tate^took part in the sing
ing during the service. The meeting
opened auspiciously and we predict
for it a glorious ending. So mote it
be.
A typographical error occurred In
our plank problem of last week. Th<*

it is sawed in two. measure respec

making a total of twelve feet.
A fishing party met at Mercer’s
mill last Friday night. They caught
several hundred fish and had a good
time generally.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bolt, of
Union, came up last Thursday on a
visit to friends in this county. They
are always welcome in our community.
On Thursday of last week the 18-
year-old son of Mr. Miller, of Steen
City, was accidentally shot with a
pistol. The ball entered at the lower
end of the breast bone and was taken
out of his back near the sixth rib on
tho right sid«, by Dr. W. J. Douglass.
The wound, though very seslolis, is
not thought necessarily fatal.
Rev. Mr. Smythe preached at Salem
yesterday and Rev. Mr. Thomason,
assisted by Rev. J. A. Bell, began a
protracted meeting at Abingdon
Creek last Friday evening.
Mr. Claude Maeomson is teaching
school ut Star Farm and Frank
McCluney at Wllklnsville.

Items of Interest From Across the
Broad.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Blacksburg, Aug. 8.—Last Wed
nesday morning betweeen the hours
of 12 and 5 o clock, the dispensary
of this place was broken into and a
considerable quantity of liquor
stolen. Entrance was affected by
breaking and removing a large pane
of glass in the front door of the build
ing. Dispenser Dempsey sent for
Chief of Police Duncan, who at once
brought his bloodhounds and put
them on the track of thief. They
pursued the trail with very little
trouble until they neared the depot
of the Ohio River and Charleston
branch road to Gaffney, near Broad
river, when Mr. Duncan, being quite
unwell, and dispairing of coming up
witn the robbers, called off his dogs.
Since then he has much regretted
his action, as the animals were doing
good and faithful work, and would,
Mr. Duncan believes, soon have dis
covered the perpetrators of the rob
bery.
Mr. Wm. Morgan, of Gaffney, a
member of the board of control for
the county, came over Thursday
morning, and he and Dispenser
Dempsey took stock of the liquors,
in order to ascertain the exact loss to
the State. It was ascertained that
about $85 worth of liquor was stolen.
Under the successful management
of Messrs. Kennedy and Brown,
Cherokee Inn is rapidly filling up
with summer visitors. They are
hero from Charleston. Savannah,
Nashville and Charlotte.
Miss Charlotte Poltney, of Union,
is here on a visit to her nephews,
Messrs. Hugh and Arthur McLure.
She is the proud posessor of an auto
graph letter of Washington Irving,
which he wrote to her adopted father,
Mr. Seth Thomas, of Lockport, N. Y..
in 1850.
A very interesting protracted meet
ing of more than a week’s duration,
was closed at Mount Parau church
yesterday. It was conducted by the
pastor, Rev. G. P. Hamrick, and
fourteen persons joined the church.
Evangelist Eleon, of Danville, Va.,
who was here last year, is back again
and carrying on a tent meeting on
the same place near Berkley park.
His services, which consist of three
during the day—10 o’clock, a. in.,
and 3 and 8 p. m.—are largely at
tended, and much interest manifest
ed. The music and singing are very
fine, the sermons are full of earnest
thought and good practical teaching,
and it is very rarely that the large
tent is not filled to overflowing.
Mr. Tracy Hardin, one of our most
popular boys, has recently been ap
pointed roadmaster on a division of
the New York Central railroad, with
his headquarters at Hudson. N. Y.
In the name of all our citizens who
aro proud of Tracy’s steady advance
ment to his recent big jump to one of
the best, most responsible and lucra
tive positions on one of the best
railroads in the country, I extend to
him and his parents—Mr. and Mrs.
Ira Hardin—congratulations and best
wishes. w. a.

Look out for malaria, it is seasonable

is a sure preventive. Cherokee Drug Co.
Am Old idem.
Every day atrengthena the belief of emi
nent phyaiciona that impuro blood is the
cruse of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-five years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula nf Browns’ Iron
Bitters. The many remarkableenre* effected
by this famous old household remedy arc
sufficient to provs that the theory is correct.
Browns’ Iron Bitters ia sold by all dealers.
Our One Arm Farmers.
Mr. John Pennington, of Cherok^
hulls, is a one arm farmer of this
county. He is un example of what
can bo done when there is a will to do
it. He does hid own ploughing and
with one mule the indications are
that he will make four hundred bush
els of corn. He raises no cotton but
instead has nine shoata which will be
ready for killing about Christmas.
There are the Vinesett boys, John
and Joe. both successful one-arm
farmers who make things lively for
their more fortunate brethren.
Then again there is Eugene Sarratt,
also a successful one-armed farmer.
All of these men are hardworking,
industrious citizens who have had
the misfortune to lose an arm on the
field of battle or in the industrious
battle which is constantly being
waged, but they are citizens of which
any county should be proud.
