How did the people of Gaffney
like the name we proposed for the
cemetery? If that name will not be
appropriate, will some one kindly
propose a better one? V\ e take it lor
granted that “Limestone” is not ap
propriate, hut we are not wedded to
any particular name. Wo hope the
town council will aet on this matter.
A resolution from them would be
adopted by the people.

The State political campaign is
now fairly inaugurated and fully un
der way. There is likely to ho the
usual amount of muds.inging, the
usual performances in political gym
nastics. and the usual amount of
boasting and eelf-glorilication. All
fids will be entertaining to the peo
ple who attend the meetings, but
will hardly turn many voters, one
way or the other. The people are do
ing more reading and thinking than
they have done heretofore, and they
are losing their relish for the dema
gogue and the political mountebank.
We believe there is a great opportu
nity in South Carolina politics for an
honest, upright, earnest, thoughtful,
patriotic man—a man with no
schemes for self-aggrandizement,
nothing but charity for the short
comings of others, with clear cut
opinions and the courage to express
and maintain them. The people
would be drawn to such a man as if
by a common instinct and would
give him any position he would uc-
cept. We know not whether such a
man will be developed in this cam
paign, but we predict that the one
which shall come the nearest to such
a standard will get the endorsement
of the people. This paper will re
main true to its record, and while it
will reserve the right to discuss ques-
lUoss of | uhlie interest in any way it
may se • proper, it will not espouse
tin.- ctuise nor approve the interests

So far as we have observed, the
“blight” on pear and apple trees is
unusually bad this season. There
nre some varieties of pear which are
peculiarly subject to it, while it is
claimed by the nurserymen that some
are entirely exempt. It is a disease
for which us yet no remedy has been
found. About the best that can be
done is to watch the trees and keep
the blighted twigs severely pruned as
fast as they appear. They sliould be
thrown away from the tree, or better,
burned, as the disease is caused by a
microscopic insect which moves Irom
one part of the tree to another, The
enemies of fruit trees are multiply
ing in recent years and it does not
appear to be so easy to raise fruits as
it used to be, even when the frosts
arc avoided. We have long been of

proved varieties, hud been devoted to j ’mile was loose in the yard

The June term of Court of Gen.ml
Sessions convened yesterday morning
at 10 o.ciock, Judge Bonnett presid
in'. This is the -:ecofid time Judge
Bi nrctt lias presided over court in
Cherokee county. An amusing inc'-
dc-uL connected with his first visit to
Cherokee was the fact that he got
mixed up In the dates and was u week
behind time, while bis predecessor,
Judge Aldrich, also got mixed ip his
dates and came a week ahead of time.
Both judges seem to have recovered
their presence of mind, however, ar.d
have been exactly on time since then.
Solicitor Henry and Stenographer
MeCraw were both promptly on hand
and the preliminary work of opening
the court was executed wit h dispatch.
The first case to be taken up, after
a number of cases had been given to
tho grand jury, was that of Jesse
Wesson, colored, for tlie killing *of
Thomas McBrayer. also colored.
Wesson and McBrayer both lived in
Blacksburg and worked for the Yir-
ginia-Carolinu Co. Wesson went
down to the phosphate works one
Saturday morning last February logo
to work. After arriving at the works
be discovered that he hail left u book
at the house in which ho kept home
records of weights for the company.
Ho went back to the house to get the
hook. Arriving at tin house he sur
prised his wife and McBraver in a
loving embrace, the woman sitting in
the man’s lap. He went to ins bu
reau, took from the drawer u pistol,
and shot McBrayer, killing him Ei-
stunlly. The defence put up the
plea of self-defence, claiming that
Wesson shot McBrayer believing that
he (Wesson) was in immediate* dan
ger ui' ins life*; and that McBrayer
Lad made threats against him. The
def-. udatit was ubiy rt presented by
Mcsirs. Cotkr A Osborne and E. A.
Trescott, while .Solicitor Henry did
excellent work for the State. TDi*
ease was given to the jury about (i
o’clock yolcnbiy afternoon. Up to
the hour of going to press no verdict
had in en reached in the easo.
The case of Dr. Mason Smith, for
man»i:sughU-r, was taken up this
morning.
