Spartanburg and Gieeaville have
been wrangling for many jiara over
a portion of the boundary line be*
tween the two counties. Time and
again through several decades the
line has been located by expert sur
veyors, but never to the satisfaction
of both counties. In the mean time
the factory town of IVlhmn has been
developed on tiie disputed territory
and tliis lias intensified the contest.
The tax s paid by a thriving factory
town constitute no mean prize for a
county contest At last the Supreme
(,'ourt has decided that the prize be
longs to Greenville, and now it is
said that Greenville will sue Sfartan-
burg for back taxes which will
amount to a round sum. To add to
Spartanburg’s hard luck, she has to
pay the cost of the recent suit, which
amounts to over $2,000. We offer to
Spartanburg our tender sympathies
and the rather doubtful consolation

There is another consoling reflec
tion, too, appropriate f ;r counties
and individuals in such circum-
stanccR, which we can better illus
trate with an anecdote.
Just after the war, when the ne
groes were exulting ii. full fledged
freedom, we lived near to an old maid
wiio owned a family of negroes, most
of whom she had raised from child
hood, and who was herself really the
on'y slave on her place. Her general
manager was a middle-aged negro
named Chessley, who managed the
farm and Ills mistress, too, according
to his own sweet will.
“Chess,” as we called him, was
wonderfully elated with freedom and
began to lay foundations lor a for
tune which now appeared to bo of
easy attainment. Jly giving iron-
bound papers which covered all sorts
of imaginary crops that were to be
gathered the next fall, he became the
sole owner of a worn out mule at
least twenty-live years old, entered
into :>n itber iron-bound contract for
a fan,), and began to make general
preparations to show his friends
whut n free man could do.
in ills enthusiasm lie overlooked
on i.til - ; tc* ssary factor in success
ful farming, and that was feed for
hi? mule. He procured, however,
McClellan saddle, and as the plowing
season had not yet arrived, ho spent
most of his time for a week or two
in riding over the neighborhood call
ing on his fri.nds, telling and hear
ing the news, and indulging in such
■social pleasures as came in his way
Hut this easy-going life was soon to
end. Chess arose one morning ana
found the mule dead, and uli his
plans and prospects frustrated. \V e
met him a day or two after the event
and on expressing to him cur deep
sympathy in his loss, lie replied
*'<)h, well, them that has, must lose.’
There is a bit of sound philosophy
in the reply of Chessley, which al
who have worldly possessions anci
are striving to increase them, woul*:
do well to bear in mind. Only the
man who has nothing is secure from
loss.
KOTKS AND COMMENTS.
At last the rains have come in
abundance and the hearts of the peo
pie have been made glad. Gatlney
and the immediate vicinity sutlerec
a more protracted drought than any
other section of the L’iedmont belt
We recently made a trip throug
Hpartanhurg, Laurens, and a portion
of Greenville county and saw no evi
dences of drought except in our own
neighborhood. The crops, where
wtdl worked, are fine, and there is
promise of abundant yield. Of course
the destructive rains of the c‘arly
spring wrought mischief to the low
lands. and in many cases the mis
chief for this year is beyond repair
or redemption. l>ut we noticed many
crops of the second or third planting
which seemed to be doing well, and
under favorable conditions hence
forth these will make good corn.
Upon the whole we tliinK this part of
the country is in good shape, and
though more rain will he needed, yet
if it do not come, there will still be
the assurance of “bread for the eater
and seed for the sower.”

“This region has always inspired
mankind witii emotions of awe. for |
many are the tales of supernatural |
deeds that are said to have been done j
within its limits; and to the early |
Dutch navigators it was a region of |
dread, which was under the dominion
of supernatural and mischievous be- j
ingti who took a peculiar delight in ■
venting their spleen and indidging '
their humors upon and bothering j
them with flaws and head-winds, j
counter-currents and all kind t.f im- |
pediments. Some believed these i
mischievous powers to lie evil spirits j
conjured up by the Indian wizards to |
revenge themselves on (lie strangers i
who had dispossessed them.
‘ The Indians believed these moun- !
tains were raised by the mighty |
spirit Manetho, to prol ct his favorite |
abodes from the unhallowed eyes of j
mortals, and that before the Hudson :
poured its waters through them they |
formed a vast prison within who-e
rocky bosom he confined Die rebel
lious spirits who repined at his e ;n-
trol; that here, jammed in rifted
pines or crushed by ponderous rocks,
they groaned for ages, until at length
the conquering Hudson burst open
their prison house, rolling a mighty
tide triumphantly through the stu
pendous ruins.
“What is usually called the
‘Southern Gateway to the .High
lands’ is formed by Dunderbt rg
Mountain on the west and Manito
Mountain on the cast, which rise in
rocky heights over a thousand feet
above the river.
“The Creator made no mistakes in
His architecture when He formed
this region; the stupendous gran
deur is nowhere slighted, and the
profound magnitude of IDs works,
although inspiring awe, are oubiime-
ly beautiful. These great mountains
and hills are set with a rugged grace
that cannot^ but influence the be
holder to feel that Nature outdoes
Art end that the latter makes but
an imperfect attempt at reproducing
her per.cctions.
The trip from Charlotte to New
York was uneventful except for lim
few very pleasant hours spent in
ght-seuing around Norfolk and the
fact that ail but three of the party
became desperately sea-sick while al
sea. But those that got sick soon
recovered and felt better for the <x-
perience. Arriving at New York the
party put up at the Colonnade Hot,!
on Broadway, near University Place,
except The Ledger man, who went
over to Brooklyn with an old ac
quaintance, Mr. W. H. Carter. Mr.
Carter is an aUacbeo of the Oid Do

that company for about twenty
years and was at the wharf
to bid us welcome. It had

against the rocks we saw in it all a

That
afternoon
and
night were spent in
the greatest of
American cities and the next morn
ing ail gathered at the Day Line
wharf for the trip up the Hudson.
We cannot do better in attempting
to describe the scene along the Hud
son than to use some of the very
able matter furnished by the Day
Line Company:
“The Hudson is pre-eminently
famed among tin* rivers of Die world
for the surpassing beauty and bold
grandeur of its scenery; while his
tory, legend and story have lift
hardly a mile of iis course unhallow
ed by their associations. It has
been sung by the poet, pictured by
the artist and pen-painted by a multi
tude of descriptive writers, but no
pen or brush lias adequately por
trayed its charming scenery, which
must be seen to be appreciated.
“The river, and the region through
which it flows, evoke eulogies from
modern visitors not only, but even
the savage, whose domain it was be
fore the coming of the white man,
considered it his Elysium, while
from the first explorer down to the
tourist of to-day, it has not failed to
call forth its tributes of praise.
“As the steamer leaves her pier
and pushes out into the stream tho
noise of the citv giyes
way to the
steady throb of the engine and the
ripple of the water as the I o it skims
its surface.
“To the west tin rocky eminence
at Weehawken marks the spot
where Hamilton fell mortally wound
ed in a duel with Burr, and stretch
ing away to tho north for twenty-
three miles, the picturesque i’dlisades
form a perpendicular wall of rock
varying in height from fifty to six
hundred feet.
“Not the Rhino of Germany,
whose banks are strewn with the
relics of feudalism, nor tho lochs and
friths of Scotland that murmur to
the sea their wails of the Viking in
vaders, nor the hills of Greece, on
which the gods held council, are
more picturesque in their ruins than
the palisaded Hudson, with these
rocky summits, split and rent,
forming turret, minaret and dome or
battlement, as fantastically set as
the ruined piles that lie crumbling
over the sea.
“To the east, in Riverside I’urk, a
grateful people have erected an im
posing mausoleum which contains
the remains of General Grunt.
“And now, as the steamer ap-
proacoes tho Highlands region, the
whole region is picturesque and grand
beyond description, and of Itself so
imposing us to hold tho attention of
even those who uro the most wunling
in admirution for the grand und beau
tiful in nature. Added to this na
tural attractiveness of scenery we
have a locality crowded with historic
association of that perloi of our
“On the en

j bridge at Aibany, stands the Old
! Manor House of I’atroon Killian Van
! Roussel it r, built in 1(;12, and said to
| be the old' st house in the thirteen
j original colonies, its walls are built
j of brick which were imported from
I iioiiand. This historic mansion has
dieltored many of the great men of
Uuloniai days and of the revolutionary
period, and here was composed that
song which though frowned on by
critics and derided by musicians, is
still retained by the people as the
National Air, ‘Yankee Doodle.’
“Tho site of Aibany was an Indian
settlement, chiefly of the Mohawk
tribe, long before Hudson sailed up
tho river; and thre-e years after, in
l(iJ2, traders established a post
there, and it may be said founded
Albany. Next to Jamestown in Vir
ginia, this was tin* earliest perma
nent European settlement within the
thirteen original colonies. As James
town has long since ceased to exist,
there being nothing leit to mark the
spot where she had her habitations
except , a few mouldering stones
which are submerged by tho freshets
each year, Albany remains Die oldest
of the settlements of the colonies ”
Arriving in Albany wo registered
at Slunwix Hall and spent tho night
and next forenoon seeing tho sights
around New York’s capital. Tho
.State house is the finest in the world,
having cost more than $26,MOO,000.

riving there about <» in the evening
of Saturday. Wo went to the Hotel

hoarded the trolley next morning
and spent tho day at Niagara Falls.
So much lias been said and written
about these great falls that it would

are marvelous.

about 10 o’clock. Among the old

The sad intelligence reached here
Sunday morning that Mr. Joe I*.
Gaffney, brother of Oapt. R. M. Gaff
ney, of this city, died Saturday after
noon at his home in Lauderdale,
Miss., after a very short illness.
Capt. Gaffney immediately left for
Lauderdale, but unfortunately arriv
ed there too late to view his brother’s
body before it was consigned to the
grave.
The news of Mr. Gaffney’s death
in his far-away Mississsippi home
will occasion much sorrow and deep
regret among a great many iu this
city, and in Cherokee county, who
once knew him well and whose recol
lections of him arc of tho most
pleasant nature.
Joe, as he was familiarly known by
everybody hero in tho good oid days
when he was a resident of this city,
was in his thirty-ninth year at the
time of his death, and had always
been a man of robust health and
strength. Ho was born at this place

county. Not long after his marriage,
about Dio year 188!) ho was offered u
more lucrative position as railroad
agent in Anniston, Ala., and he ami
his young wife moved to that place.
He re-iiied in Alabama for several
years, and while there met with the
misfortune of having his right arm
cut off by a train. As soon as he re
covered ami was able to work, be was
given a position as night operator for
the Mobile iV Ohio railroad, with
headquuriers at Lauderdale, Miss.,
at which place he has since resided
up to the time of his death.
A short time ago Mr. Gaffney bad a
spell of malarial fi ver, and was ion-
fined to his bed for several dajs. Ho
soon began to recover rapidly, how
ever, and had become so much bet
ter that be was thought to be out of
danger. Last Saturday while ihting
his dinner he suddenly became worse
and died iu a few minutes. The
cause of his death was not due di
rectly to the fever, but to heart
trouble.
Capt. Gaffney returned home yes
terday. He speaks in the very high
est terms of the kindness of the
Lauderdale people and of their at
tention to his brother’s family—
not only during the illness of his
brother, hut at other times. In
fact, they were doing so much for
Mrs. Gaffney and her children Dial
he felt it entirely unnecessary for
him to remain with them. Two of
the children are sink; hut us soon us
they arc* able to travel, Mrs. Gatlney
will bring them back to this place.
The sympathy of this entire sec
tion goes out to the bereaved wife,
the fatherless children and tho grief-
stricken relatives in their deep sor
row.
