Etta Jane, Jan. 30.—It is ex
tremely unfortunately for the educa
tional interests of our county that
such a large number of the children
are not in school. The reason for
this it is not our purpose to discuss
here. Wa* presume that every one
has a reason of his own. The result
will be a shortage in the school fund
derived from the constitutional three-
mills tax next year, and as long as
this policy is kept up.
It is unfair to the tax payers, to
the State and to the country, which,
we presume, wishes t > educate the
children within its borders. We un
derstand that only the number of
bona fide free schools attendants can
be taken into the county in pro rating
the constitutional school money
among the counties. Every
should look to the interest
children and see that they
enumerated.
The roads are in a terrible
tion. The mud in many places ren
ders travel well nigh impassible.*
Wheat is making a poor show. In
many places there seems to be none
on the ground.
Ash Wednesday comes on the 15th
of next month, and with some peo
ple the weal her on that day largely
decides the fate of the wheat crop for
the year.

As our law makers are now in Co

tain laws enacted, or repealed, should
apply to them while they are in a
position to do something and not
wait until they come home home and
then jump on them for not doing this
or that, or for permitting it to be
done. Ibis is unfair treatment of a
public servant. Let him know what
you want him to do and then hold
him responsible for his neglect or
failure to make the attempt.

The work the Lafayette Memorial
Commission is doing towords erect
ing a monument to General Lafayette
to be unviled at Paris, July 4th, IffOO,
is agitating the minds of the patri
otic American people at this time,
and we would be glad if our young
readers would do something for this
laudable project in their respective
neighborhoods. Already 3,000,000
American school children have raised
$50,000 and the work is still going on.
By exhibitions, concerts, entertain
ments etc., with a small admittance
free they raise the money. Every
child In our land, however humble,
feels like it should take part in this
great wont. Those who have read
what Lafayette did for our country
when it needed help, will feel a debt
of gratitude that their hard earned
pennies will inadequatly repay. We
can never teach our children loyalty
to principles unless we encourage
them in patriotic work.
A few -quotations from history will
enable our young friends (and older
ones loo) to better appreciate and
'.understand the warm feeling between
our great Washington and General
Lafayette and the latter’s devotion
to our cause.
At a public dinner attended by
members of Congress and others,
Lafayette lirst saw Washington. He
recognized him at once, lie said, on
account of the officers near him, and
by his commanding air and presence.
Before the close of the evening Wash
ington called Lafayette aside,
thanked him for his generous devo
tion to this country, praised his gen
erous conduct, ami invited him to
make headquarters at his home. “I
cannot promise you the luxuries of a
court,” said he, “but as you have
become an American soldier you
will, doubtless, accommodate your
self to the fare of au American
army.”

NOT WOUNDED AT COWPENS.
MAJOR McJUNKIN’S HAIR

A Hand to Hand Conflict With a Tory
in Which His Arm Was Brok-
*’l
en—How a Death Sen
tence Was Delayed.
Cowi’KNs, S. C., Jan. 30th.
Mu. Ed. DkCa.mp—Dear Sir—:
In the lust issue of The Ledger 1
notice that among the wounded at
the battle of Cowpens was Major
freedom was | Joseph McJunkin who received a ball
during that dreadful winter when lie
shared the bitter chances of war with
the army at Valley Forge. Writ
ing of the condition there, La
fayette said : “The army frequently
passed whole days without food, and
the patient endurance of both sol
diers and olficers was a miracle
which every moment served to re
new. The sacred fire of liberty was
not extinguished and most of the
people hated British tyranny.”
In a letter written to General
Washington, December 3u, 1777, La
fayette says: ‘‘My desire of deserv
ing your satisfaction is stronger than
ever, and everywhere you will employ
me you can be certain of my trying
every exertion in my 7 power
ceed. I am now fixed to your fate
and I shall follow it and sustain it as
well by my sword as by all means in
my power.”
On December 1. 17S1, Washington
wrote a letter to Lafayette begin
ning: ‘‘1 owe it to your friendship
and to my affectionate regard for you,
my dear Marquis, not to let you
leave this country without carrying
with you fresh marks of my attach
ment to you and new expressions of
the high sense I entertain of your
military conduct and other impor
tant services in the course of the last
campaign.”
Lafayette’s reply from on shipboard
was, in part: “Adieu, my dear lj|L-n-
eral. I know your heart so well
that I am sure that no distance can
alter your attachment to me. With
the same candor, I assure you that
my love, my respect, my gratitude
for you are above expression.”
Lust week T. J. and John F. Estes
took a load of wheat to the roller
mill at Vorkville. John says he
don’t know how he got there for the
mud; but he got there. He had to
leave his wheat and have the Hour
shipped buck on the train to Hickory
Grove. He is enthusiastic over the
good roads in Cherokee county since
he lias seen a sample in York county.
John is in favor of the McCraw bi
cycle bill, too, since he and Sam Lee
had such hard work to keep Major
from running into Wilkins Brothers
store, at Gaffney, with the buggy to
make room for a wheelman on the
street.
We look forward to the May meet
ing at Cowpens battleground with
great interest and hope our people
will not allow the work to go back
ward. The selection of Miss Addie
Sams as essayest is an excellent one
and will no doubt prove the wisdom
of the choice. We are fully satisfied
that the fondest expectation of her
many friends will be fully realized.
The many friends of Ilcv. It. P.
Smith will be delighted to read the
following clipping trom the Char
lotte (X. C.) Daily Observer of the
iHth inst:
Rev. K. P. Smith, general evange
list of the Presbyterian Church,
preached Sunday morning at Newell
and Sunday afternoon at Amity. He
left cn the noon train for Gastonia,
his home. Mr. Smith will preach at
Pineville next Sunday. He was
showing yesterday a map of Ashe.ille
1’resbytery, which he has had made
to assist him in his work. He shows
the mission points touched and
churches established, by green and
pink squares. He finds the map of
much help.”
We have no hesitancy in saying
that we know of no laborer in the
Master’s vineyard who is doing more
or better wo.k than Mr. Smith and
we are always glad to hear from him.
‘‘Well done good and faithful ser
vant!”

How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver is inactive, you
have a bilious look ; if your stomach
is disordered, you have a dispeptic
look ; if your kidneys are 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,
purifies the blood, cures pimples,
blotches and boils, and gives a good
complexion. Every bottle guaran

in his arm. After some investigation
I am satisfied that it is a mistake.
Maj. McJunkin does not mention it
in his personal reminisences, neither
does Mr. Sayre in iiis “Memoirs.”
But that he was wounded a little
later, there is no doubt. Saye in iiis
memoirs of McJunkin says: “Major
McJunkin, us has been stated, having
received intelligence of Roebuck’s
battle, started on his return to Bran
don’s headquarters. On the night of
the same day (March 1*4, 1781,)
while absent from the main body of
his command, accompanied by a sin
gle soldier, as a scouting ,party, lie
to sue- ! j liu j u rencountre with a few Tories
and received a ball in his right arm,
which measurably disabled him from
service for the balance of the war.”
A detailed account of this affair is
found in the January number of the
Magnolia for 1813. It is as follows :
“On his return, he. (Maj. McJunkin)
and Lawson, one of iiis men, scout
ing r.t a distance from the rest of the
party, rode up towards a house at
night. At the gate they were con
fronted by three Tories. Fight or
die was the only alternative. He and
Lawson presented their rifles at two.
Lawson's gun fired then and killed
his man; the Major’s gun fired, also,
but was a mere squib, and produced
no oilier effect than to set lire to iiis
adversary’s shirt As Lawson’s an
tagonist fell, he jumped down, picked
up his gun and shot down the other
Tory and passed iiis sword through
iiis body. The Major's fire so dis
concerted his adversary that he
missed him The Major charged,
sword-in hand; his adversary fled.
His flight on horseback soon caused
iiis shirt to burn like a candle. This
light so disconcerted McJunkin’s
horse that lie could not make him
charge the fugitive. After running
him a mile to get a blow at him he
run his horse along side. At that in
stant tiie flying Tory drew a pistol,
fired, and the ball struck and broke
McJunkin’s sword-arm. His sword
was luckily fastened to his wrist by
a leather string. As iiis arm fell
powerless at his side lie caught the
sword in his left hand and drew it off
his sword arm, and with a back-
handed blow, as their horses run side
by side, he killed his man. Lawson’s
second man recovered, nothwith-
standing he was shot and run through
with a sword.
"Notwithstanding the severity and
inconvenience of the wound Major
McJunkin rejoined iiis men and con
tinued his march to Brandon’s camp
that night. Here his pains became
so excruciating chut some of his sol
diers cut the hall out of his arm witii
a dull razor. For safety during the
period necessary for his recovery, he
was carried by a party of his soldiers
into an unfrequented part of the
country lying on Brown’s Creek, and
his wants cared for in the midst of a
dense thicket. The appearance of
his wounded arm beginning to indi
cate great danger, one of^his fellow-
soldiers, by great exertions and per
sonal danger, succeeded in bringing
Dr. Ro|s to bis place of concealment.
The name of this soldier was Daniel
Brown. Under the treatment of Dr.
Ross his wound began to heal, and
the prospect of recovery to grow
bright. But here u new danger ap
peared. The Tories learning the
place of Iiis retreat, were making ar
rangements to march upon iiis party.
To avoid this difficulty he was carried
by his men across Broad River into
tiie vicinity of the Rev. Dr. Joseph
Alexander, whose house, says Major
McJunkin, was u real La/.uretto for
the sick and wounded of our army.
Here he took the small pox in the
natural way. His mother came over
to wait upon him, took the disease
and died. Here he remained, how
ever, until partialiy recovered, both
of his wound and disease. On the
7th of May he returned to his father’s
house. The Tories hearing that night
of his arrival,a party came next morn
ing and him made prisoner. The party
was commanded by one Bud Ander
son. This party, immediately after
his capture, set out towards the Iron
Works on Lawson’s Forks. These
works have sometimes been called
Wofford's, at others, Berwick’s. On
this march other priaoners were taken
some of whom were killed on their
knees begging for quarter. Being
arrived at, or near the works, a kind
of trial was gone through to decide
what should be done with him. The
sentence of the court was that he
should be hanged in live minutes
from the reading of tiie verdict. A
••ope was ti» fi around his neck, he
was set upon some kind of scaffold- |
ing under the limb of a tree and tin*
lope fastened to it. At this moment
a party was seen approaching on
horseback at full speed. The com
mander of those having him in charge
ordered the execution stopped till
the object of the approaching party !
was ascertained. One of them come j
up and whispered something in the |
ear of the leader. The leader ordered 1
the execution suspended for the pres
ent and commanded the whole party
to mount. Th^y hurried away and
after beating about the country for a
short time, set off in tiie direction <<f
Hie BritBh ^.irrieon at Ninety-Six. i
The motive of the delay of hi* exe
cution was the approach of a part) of
Wings, as he afterwards learned.
While in the custody of this party of 1
Tories no epithets were too abusive :
or insulting to be applied to him
with the greatest freedom and fre
quency. When "within a mile
of the British fort, the party halted
for some time for consultation or
some other purpose. While here he
lay on the ground with his wounded
arm resting on his forehead. Another
party of Tories came up, their leader
believed to have been tiie famous
Win. Cunningham. As soon as he i
cast his eyes on Major McJunkin lie
rushed upon him with iiis sword
drawn. Just as the Major expected
to receive its descending point, he
suddenly wheeled off and said, ‘I was
mistaken in the man.' Thence he
was curried into Ninety-Six. A court
martial was summoned to investigate
iiis case. The forms showed were
somewhat honorable. He was
charged with killing one of His Maj
esty's subjects—tiie man that broke
his arm. He showed them iiis arm;
told them where they met the Tories,
and where the man was killed, and
asked if it was possible that a man
whose sword-arm was broken to pur
sue a man a mile and kill him? Gen.
Cunningham, the president of the
court, said it was impossible, and
the whole court concurred. lie was
therefore acquitted of the charge,
but sentenced to close confinement
as a prisoner of war. He remained
in jail at this place from that time,
about tiie 12th or Hth of May, till a
few days before Gen. Green lay seige
the place, the 23d of tiie same month.
He was paroled with some others, and
allowed to return home. Wlren they
arrived at the ferry on the Saluda
river, they heard of a skirmish that
liad recently occurred up that river,
and soon a detachment of Greene’s
army came in sight. The paroled
prisoners were taken by this party
to General Greene. Upon consulta
tion and advice from Colonel Bran
don they turned back with (ireene’s
army and remained with it until near
the time the seige was raised. They
then got an opportunity and returned
to their several homes.”
Such is the detaih d, but somewhat
lengthy account, of Major McJ unkins
bitter experience and hair breadth es
capes, that virtually put an end to
his services during the War of Inde
pendence, but it is worthy to be pre
served as a memento of one of the
heroes of that immortal struggle.

FLAW PICKERS’S BIRTHDAY.
HE REMEMBERS THE DAY AND
MONTH ONLY.
Granny Picker Relates a With Story
to Him that Caused Much
Uneasiness in His
Bovhood.
To-day is my birth day an’, bv
gracious. 1 had to git down the ole
Bible an’ bresh the dust from ofl’n it
he fore 1 could toil exactly how ole I
was. I know what day an’ what
month 1 was born, but to save my
life 1 can’t remember from one year
to the next how many years ole I
am.
Whilst I was a settin’ around the
famly fireside tonight a talkin’ with
Granny an’ Mrs. Picker—the widder,
as she is want to call herself—a
talkin’ of the fleetin’ days which has
p ist by an’ gone, you understand,
Granny Picker branched away back
to her girlhood, or what’s more com
mon now, her sweetheart days, an’
begun to tell of olden times way back
ynder Hit made me feel like I ust
to when I was a little shirttail boy—
how I would set an’ listen an’ some
times trimble when she would tell of
her raw-head an’ bloody bones tales,
an o!e witch talcs, an’ ghosts, an’
sitedi like.
I remember how she tolo me of a
witch story onct what made me
shake like a suplejack on pins, you
understand, but s;ill I loved to hear
it, an - 1 made her repeat it tonight
before she turned in for her rest.
Hit was somethin’ like this, an’ in
her own words as near as J can put
’em down :
“Flaw,” she started, “way back
ynder, when 1 was a little girl, my
granny tole me, un’ I recollect it as
well as if it was only yisterday, as
how my uncles, Joe an’ Ace, was a
plowin’, an’as how my aunts, i’heby,
Bithy, an’ 'food, which, you under
stand, her right name was Kissiah
was a hoein’ in a piece of bottom
land, in between two bills, whilst
there was a big swamp at the foot of
one of ’em. Everything went along
lovely as you please until about ten
o’clock in the day, then everything
got wrong—yes, I should say badly
wrong. Ef it hadn't of bin for uncle
Joe there would of bin a first-class
corpse right kersmuckdab there in
the big open field in broad open day
light.
“You know, Flaw, way back yan-
der in them days hit was fashiona
ble ter tiie female women folks to
wear draw-strings in their, skerts,
whilst, you understand, Aunt Toad’s
draw-string broke, so she had to
fasten her skert elsewise. As I go
on down to tell, Flaw, you under
stand, she jist pulled the string out
an’ tied hit around her neck an’
worked on.
A little fiste, which, you under
stand, was a pet in the famiy, was a
runnin’ of a rabbit on one of the hill
sides whilst they was a plowin’ an’ a
hoein’ to beat the band down in the
bottom. All at onct, as I go on
down to tell you, that blasted fiste
hushed a barkin’ an’ darted down the
side of the hill towards the swamp
with his tail betwixt his hind legs at
a rate that would in ike a male buck
deer ashamed of Iiis si If—s del he jist
naterully touched the ground in high
places an’ didn’t tarry long enough
to survey the low ones—right on
through the swamp ho busted an’
then struck u he * line fer Aunt Tood.
“At fust, Flaw, they thought he
had tarried too long about a yaller-
jacket nest but hit weren't long be
fore they had made up their minds
another way. Somethin' happened
right thar an' then that made my
blood run cold when I hcarn tell of
it an’ I’ll never fergit it ontel I go
down into my grave fer the last time,
for Aunt Tood was the onliest aunt I
liked so well an’ hit was to her an’ to
her alone that happened what did.
“When that fiste run up to her
an’ drupped down atjher feet that
draw-string around her neck begun
to twist, an' twist, at the knot where
she hnn tied it—twist an’ choke,
choke an’ twist, whilst, you under
stand, she couldn’t do a doggone
thing but stand th ir an’ se'eam, an'
hit weren’t long fill, by gracious, she
couldn’t scream none to speak of.
They said she was so black In the
face tell she was fairly blue, she was
choked so bud, before Uncle Joe
could git to her an’ git his pocket
knife out to cut the draw-string
from around her neck.
“Yes, Flaw, you meby mought
preach to me ontel doomsday that
thar weren’t no witches in those days
but you’ll neverjgit me to a bleevin’
of it. That thar witch rode that dog
to Aunt Tood an’ then twisted that
knot an’ choked her.
“There was an’ ole man an' wo
man an' two gals what wanted to
tend that piece of bottom land that
year an’ (Granny wouldn’t let ’em
havejit, | so they made their brags
that cf they didn’t git to tend it that

low me, Flaw, to impress it upon

know.”
Granny i’icker bleeves there use to

SHOT BY A BAD WOMAN.
A Young White Man’s Indiscretion
Causes Trouble.
BLArKsnrRu, S. C., Jan. 31.—A
shooting affair occurred at this place
Sunday night that at lirst seemed a
little mysterious. The first intima
tion an) one had that such a tiling
hud taken place, was when two young
men called upon Drs. Anderson and
Ramseur about l> :30 o’clock. One of
them said that he had been shot and
needed medical attention. That was
of course given him and it developed
that he had been shot in the abdo
men and with a 32 calibre pistol.
His suffering was relieved and after
remaining under the care of Dr. Ratn-
seur until about midnight, he left for
Gaffney accompanied by the young
man who had come with him to the
Doctors.
They had evidently made up their
minds not to teil anything but did
say that the one shot was named Os
car iiallinun and the other Fred Gaff
ney; that they both lived at Gaffney
City and had come to Blacksburg on
the iSunday morning train, that about
7 o’clock that evening, while in the
presence of several, a shot had been
fired and it struck Hailman, the
place in the town where the shot had
been fired, they did not know—claim
ing that they did not know enough
about the town to say and did not
know who fired the shot but did know
—that it was accidental. They
seemedto lay considerable stress
on this point. Later on, however
while Hallman was resting,
Gaffney became a little more com
municative and said that lie thought
the shooting had occurred near the
branch road to Gaffney and when
asked who the excited woman was
that had callod him out at the house,
said no woman had called him out,
only to admit later on that a woman
hud done so, hut, that he did not
know her name.
Monday morning the Chief of l’o-
lice here received a message over the
phone to arrest Maggie Lane, the
most disreputable white woman in
the town, who lived near theS. C. it
G. R. R. to Gaffney. Shejwas of course
promptly arrested but. just in the
act of taking her departure. Con
stable Gibson and roliceman Hall
man took her to Gaffney and placed
her it jail to await the result of Hall
mans wound.
From one of the officers your cor
respondent learned that Gaffney had
sworn out the warrant for the L^ne
woman and said in substance that
he and Hallman had known her in
Gaffney; that Sunday night, after
he and Hallman had a drink, they
went to the woman’s house ;that Hall
man seemed disposed to “have a
little fun,” but that the woman
did not seem so inclined; that while
Hallman continued to go on with
his “devilment.” the woman said
she had shot one man before for
the same tiling and could do so
again, and with that fired the shot.
