Yellow Tavern, Ya., Maj 11th, 1804.
Gen. Stuart’s hat, coat and pistols
were in the Confederate Museum at

Kennedy, of Yorkville, and also a
grand-daughter of John McGill, Esq.,
of Clark’s Fork. This, as a work of
art, is unique in its execution and
contains a full record of one of the
oldest, most numerous and widely
known families in eastern Cherokee
and western York; and it is my pur
pose, in the near future, to give the
full space so generously accorded me
by this paper to a description of it
and also to a roll of the descendants.

of preserving in tangible form their

On Wednesday night of last week
Mr. Smith Wood, of Spartanburg,
gave a fine magic lantern exhibition
attonr home. The scenes—some of

greatly enjoyed, by the little folks es

battles of Bull Run, Gettysburg and
General Lee’s surrender were shown,
as we'l as many revolutionary scenes,
battles, etc., among which was Kings
Mountain and Cowpens.
Bad writing is sometimes a source
of fun, as the following quotatioi
shows:
Not long ago a gentleman, of Cleve
land, received a letter from a lawyer.
He could not read a word of it, but
thought that perhaps his wife, who
had once or twice before deciphered
bad handwriting for him, could do so.
and took it home with him. His wife
bad no better luck than he.
“Why don’t you take it over to
Jimmerson, the druggest?” she said.
“They say he can read anything.”
He knew it referred to an impor
tant law matter, and was anxious
about it. So he put on bis hat and
overcoat and went over to the drug
store.
“Can you make this out?” he said.
The druggest took it aud glanced
it over. He took it to the nearest
gas-jet and looked it over again.
After a long scrutiny, he inarched to
the back of the store and disap
peared behind a partition. The
gentleman thought that very likely
he had gene to get a magnifying-glass.
He was gone a little while, and
then came back with the letter in
one hand and a good-sized bottle in
the other.
“There you are,” said the druggest.
“What’s this?” inquired the gen
tleman.
‘Why, your ionic.”
“Who said anything about a
tonic?”
“Why, you handed me the pres
cription.”
“Prescription?”
“Yes, here it is.”
“What!” roared the other. “Did
you think that was a prescription?
It’s a letter from my lawyer about a
suit!”
The minister who mixes too much
truth and Christianity in his ser
mons don’t often receive urgent calls
from fashionable churches.
Some people neglect their charac
ter while looking after their reputa
tion.
The world is full of good Samari
tans, but unfortunately they seldem

dage on hand.
Tt is impossible to train up a child

We are informed that the “blind
tigers” are getting in some good
work in this c" nty. A few of these
gentry make their nocturnal visits
to places were they get the patronage
and endorsements of a reliable con
stituency and oilicers of the law are
utterally pow )ss to reach them.
We are told that motly crowds
assemble at certain places (outside
of our county) jn Saturday night and
Sabbaths days where the time is
spent in drinking and card playing.
The same ma'' ’ e going on here, too,
no doubt. No man is a strictly loyal
citizen who knows these to be facts
and refuses to bring the offenders to
justice.
The parsimonious distribution of
the company rolls of the State
troops of the late war is a most ef
fective way to defeat the object of
getting up the complete rolls. When
the matter was agitated by the U.
C. veterans in Columbia in November
1895 it was reasonaliy supposed that
when the types were set up that at
least as many as one hundred copies
of each company roll would be
printed and dir‘ributed among the
survivors and the families of the
dead with a request that any and all
casualties might be noted in a blank
space provided for that purpose.
This was certainly the idea, for the
writer made the motion himself and
he knows what bespeaks. I now un
dersand that only tea (10) copies of
each company roll was printed, and
I have tried several times to get a
copy of my own company and failed.
Scores of survivors have applied to
me for copies of their company rolls
and when refered to headquarters the
reply was invariably: “All given
out; none on hand.” This was the
way the thing was managed and its
no wonder that the tax payers are
getting tired.
Col. J. P. Thomas, the efficient
state historian, is now calling for the
rolls of several missing companies to
be sent in that he may complete the
enrollment. Could a sufficient num
ber of rolls have been sent out at the
start no doubt but that an absolutely
correct list of the troops, together
with the casualties, would long ago
have been secured. There are hun
dreds of ex-Confederate soldiers who,
though illiterate, could give with
wonderful precision the fate of almost
every man in their respective com
mands, and they would have taken
great pleasure in doing so. It was a
fatal mistake made in not sending out
enough blanks to furnish at least
every survivor with one, and also the
families of the dead soldiers. The
additional copies would have cost
comparatively nothing and been of
inestimable value to the work.
A ship at sea strikes a rock and

We ought to remember that It is

War. iC, S. C., Oct. 22.—Some peo
ple seem to incline to the opinion
that a preacher is some kind of a
supernatural being, or at least, when
a man starts out to preach the Gos
pel, he should to a very great ex
tent discard his human nature. But,
the fact is, and perhaps always will
he, that a preacher is a human being
just the same as other people are,
and a young preacher, say about 28
years old, and living in single bles
sedness is jusc as susceptible to the
wiles of a pretty girl, even though
she be but lil years old, and well
grown of her age, as any one else is.
We were in the upper part of
Saluda township, near the North
Carolina line, last Saturday, and
found the people of that section
wrought up to a considerable degree
of excitement, over what they con
sidered to be the misconduct of a
young divine, who was teaching in
that section.
The trouble was that the preacher
had succumbed to the smiles of one
of his lady pupils, and one day re
cently there happened, owing to
some entertainment in the com
munity, to be only this young lady
and her little brother present at
school and therefore, the preacher
proceeded to put in the day in court
ing instead of teaching. The lady
being only 13 years of age, could not
refrain from imparting the knowl
edge of the fact to her lady friend,
hence the excitement.
Late Saturday evening the patrons
of the school had decided to meet
the divine at the school house Mon
day morning and give him his
walking papers.

Carrie Allen, both of Willie, S. C.,

America’s Greatest.
There is no honestly denying the
fact that the great consolidated Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers’^shows,
which are booked for Spartanburg on
Thursday Nov. 3, comprise not only
the biggest, most complete and per
fect institution of its kind, but far
and away the most comprehensive
and expensive one ever organized in
American or anywhere else. It is a
marvel of recreating enterprise, and
conduct id upon heroic and progres
sive lines, which do credit to its
American origin. Its splendidly at
tained and steadily maintained re
putation, its honorable methods and
careful management, its vast resour
ces of capital and experience, the
signal ability manifest in its executive
and advertising departments and its
unlimited credit, give it tremendous
advantages, with which no other can
hope to compete so long as it remains
in the field. It will bring more ele
phants, more rare wild beasts, more
superb horses, more performing ani
mals, more eminent artists, more
foreign acts and actors, more races,
more pageantry, more fun and exhila
ration, more instruction and enter
tainment, and more for the money,
than has ever before been known.
The superspiendid double parade is a
magnificent sensation. The latest
coming woman innovations are the
introduction of lady clows and lady
ringmasters, who have everywhere
made a most pronounced and uproa
rious hit. There are also the cham
pion male and female bareback riders,
and numberless great general perfor
mers, trained animals and catchy
clowns. It is not only the greatest
American show, but the greatest the
earth has ever seen, and not only
will all of it be here, but the price of
admission has been fixed at fifty
cents—a scarcely nominal one when
the myrial attractions are considered.
In addition, special low-rate excur
sions have been arranged for on all
railroads.

Mr. Teal Te.ls How it Occurred.
Hicksville, N. C., Oct. 22. Editor
Ledger: If you will allow me space
1 will give you the particulars of my
narrow escape on Friday even'ng
before the second Sunday, inst. It
was as follows:
I was on ray way home from the
Sandy Run Association, and crossed
the river at Camp’s ferry at dark. I
soon found that I was overtaking a
wagon. When my horse's head reached
the back of the wagon I saw
there were two wagons, (or a wagon
and buggy, I didn’t know which) und
I supposed there were horses and a
driver to each. I hr 1 been driving
this way for some time and had never
thought but that they knew some
one was driving behind them. Sud
denly they stopped, and some one
said: What are you doing here (or
there, I don’t know which.) I sup
posed they had met a drunk man, and
that he was speaking to them. The
next voice was • What are you doing
back there? I had the speaker loca
ted by this time, as speaking from
the front wagon, but thought he was
talking to some one in the wagon be
tween me and him. I still never
spoke, for I didn t know I was being
spoken to.’IIe then fired, shooting my
horse between the nose und eyes. I
heard the blood streaming and asked
him what be meant. He then asked
who I was. When I gave him my
name and told him, he had shot my
horse, he apologized as profusely as
a man could, and asked me not to
give him any trouble, as he would
pay the damage if he could.
It was Monroe Green who was
moving from Henrietta, into the
neighborhood of where I live. He
had two wagons one tied to the back
end of the other. He said when he
saw some one behind his back wagon
he thought it was two negroes, whom
he had met a little before, and that
they had turned on him for some
mischief. I trust it will make Mr.
Green more cautious hereafter, as he
was firing on one who was doing
nothing more than trying to get home
to his wife and little ones.
My horse is not dead, as was re
ported to The Ledger. He is doing
farely well and I think will soon be
ready for driving again.

HENRY W. GRADY.
His Pita for the Restoration of Con
fidence Between the Sections.
At the annual banquet of the Bos
ton Social Union a few evenings ago,
Dr. J. B. Hawthorne delivered an ad
dress on “The Present Feeling in the
South Toward the Federal Union and
the People of the North.” Tremont
Temple was crowded, and Dr. Haw
thorne’s address captured the large
audience. After speaking of South
ern patriotism and devotion and the
loyalty of the people of the South to
the flag of the Union, Dr. Hawthorne
continued:
The people of this country will
never forget the day when another
Georgian—that almost peerless child
of genius, that oratorical prod ivy,
that illustrious journalist, patriot
and philanthropist, Henry W. Grady
—stood befo:e representative men of
New England on an occasion not
unlike the present, and pleaded for
the re. toration of brotherly confi
dence and affection with a fervor
and eloquence that seemed to open a
new trumpet-stop on the grand or
gan of human passioo.
That speech was a bugle call to
! le American people to get rid of
thei: sectional animosities, prejudices
and suspicions, to come together in
the spirit of mutual respect and con
fidence, and have not only an exter
nal federation of States, but a forever-
enduring union of hearts and hands.
That call was the final message of
a Christian patriot as he stood on
the very border of the closely-cur
tained world, und almost heard the
breathings of disembodied spiriis
within the veil. Doubtless yon re
call the fact that Henry Grady Ivfi
that banquet hall flushed with fiver,
and that only a week later his great
heart was still and his eloquent voice
hushed in death. He died literally
loving his n ’tion into peace.
The vision of restored harmony
t nd fraternity which floated before
the soul of the great Georgian, in
that hour of patriotic zeal und men
tal illumination, is, thank God, no
longer a vision, but a blessed reality.
The snows that fall from heaven
and crown our mountain peaks with
resplendent beauty are not purer
than the affection which Americans
everywhere cherish for their system
of free constitutional government.
The breezes, laden with the rich per
fume of our Southern orange grows,
are not sweeter than the fellowship
which now holds the people of this
once dissevered country in the em
brace of a true and everlasting Amei .-
can brotherhood.
My country, what a favored lot is
thine! The love of all thy sous en
compass thee; the love of all thy
daughters cherish thee; and in all
their countless sanctuaries thy fuiti -
ful people hold thee up to God.
