NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Senator Teller announces that free
silver is not dead. The fools are not
all dead either.
The Florence Times recommends
that Judge Hudson be re-instated on
the bench and that Judge W. H.
Wallace be sent to the United States
Senate. That is exactly what ought
to be done.
The reports from the Czar of Rus
sia are conflicting, but there is little
doubt of his serious illness. The
whole world watches his case with
intense anxiety, for his death may be
followed by consequences that will
be appalling to Europe and in a
measure to the whole civilized world.
Winter is at last upon us again.
Sleet and snow were reported from
Greenville last Monday morning and
the w'eather here was pinching and
disagreeable all day. Everybody
should now see to it that his supply
of fuel is convenient and abundant,
and all those who own live stock
should provide for their comfort as
far as possible. Don’t stint the cat
tle in food, because they are just in
from the fall pastures and are look
ing well. See that they have com
fortable quarters and a generous sup
ply of food. Such a course will
prove true economy in the end.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The sheriff of Lincoln county, Col
orado, in which the negro, John
Porter, was recently cremated by a
mob, writes a strong letter to the
district attorney in which he pro
tests against having the blame of the
lynching fixed upon him. He says
that men of ell political parties par
ticipated in it—that they forgot that
they were republicans or democrats
and remembered only that they were
husbands and fathers. He says fur
thermore that there is no use of pros
ecuting any of ths lynchers, for a
jury cannot be had in the county
that would harm a single one of
them. We wonder how some of the
uoutb-hating newspapers of the
north will digest the sheriff’s letter.
As the south becomes more thickly
populated and more assimilated to
northern civilization, we may expect
the same labor troubles that prevail
in the north. A big strike is now on
in Tampa, Fla., involving up to this
time 1,400 raeu of different trades.
There is .much inttamatory talk
among the ^strikers, and serious
threats are made against the men of
other orders, who refuse to quit work.
Just here the strikers put themselves
in the wrong and deprive themselves
of the sympathy and moral support
of all fair-minded people. These
labor troubles are now the problem
of the opening century. As capital
increase the breach between it and
labor widens. As the money power
becomes stronger, it is natural that
it should become more arrogant, and
as labor becomes more pinched and
straitened, it is natural that it
should become more restless, turbu-
lent, and vindictive. Congress up to
this time has shown itself incapable
of dealing effectively with labor
troubles. It is to be hoped, how
ever, that it will yet be able to
evolve some equitable plan by which
these troubles may be either entirely
prevented, or settled on terms equally
just to all parties concerned. The
prosperity and even the salvation of
the country depend on the atability
and reliability of an efficient system
of labor.

FIGHT AT BLACKSBURG.
SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.
PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
One Convict (luaril Scriotinl}' Shot hikI
Another lla<lly Cut.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Blacksiu rg, Nov. 28 —A serious
shooting and cutting affair between
the head guard of the county con-
r'cts by the name of Wilson and an
assistant guard named Hughes took
place on the edge of town last Mon
day night about 7 o'clock.
It seems that the county chain
gang came hero Saturday and estab
lished headquarters at what is known
as the “Lime Kiln’’ place, on the
edge of town and on the road leading
to Cherokee Falls, being the same
place where they quartered when
here last spring. Everything went
along smoothly. But Monday eve
ning it is said Wilson was in town
trying to talk over the phone to the
county supervisor about turning loose
a negro convict whose time was al
most out and whose condition was
such that he disturbed the whole
camp at night. He failed to get Mr.
Lipscomb and returned to the camp
after purchasing some whiskey at the
dispensary. In, the meantime, it is
said that Hughes came to town and
purchasing some whiskey went back
to the camp. There the men met,
and besides the convicts, was another
guard by the name of Coyle. The
matter of turning loose the consump
tive negro was then discussed. All
seemed to be in a good humor, but a
few minutes later Wilson and Hughes
began to disagree. It is said that
some cursing was done and Wilson
wont to his tent and dressed. Then
he came back and took Coyle to one
side and said that he was not going
to submit to such an insult as was
given him by Hughes and was going
to kill him. Coyle tried to dissuade
him, telling him that ho must be
crazy. The two then went on to the
fire, Coyle ahead of Wilson. At the
lire was seated Hughes and as Coyle
and Wilson reached the fire, Wilson
stepped to one side and after saying
something to Hughes to the effect
that he was going to kill him, com
menced firing with a Smith and Wes
son 38 ealibru pistol. Five shots were
fired, and in the meantime Hughes
had gotten out a pocket knifo and
had gone for Wilson. During the
fight Wilson fell. Coyle tried to
part them but they did not stop un
til Wilson said something about
Hughes cutting him and then Hughes
said he would stop if Wilson would
give up his pistol. Wilson said he
had no pistol and Hughes gave his
knife to Coyle and the fight stopped.
One of tho trusted convicts was sent
at once to town, for Chief of Police
Duncan and u doctor. The Chief was
soon found and, in company with Dr.
Jas. M. Caldwell, went to the place.
The next morning your correspon
dent, in company with the doctor,
visited the seat of war. In a clearing
on a hillside, stood the tents. Before
one of them was a big fire and to one
side was a cot on which Wilson was
lying. He certainly presented a pit-
jible sight. The doctor looked over
the work he had done that cold night
out in the open air with just a torch to
see by. Everything looked well, con
sidering the circumstances. The top
of Wilson’s head was a mass of cuts,
not a one less than six inches in
length. There was also a cut on the
left side of the face running from the
oar to the chin. On his left arm were
two stabs—one near the elbow, the
other near the wrist. On the upper
and back part of left leg was another
stab. The doctor said that he had
taken at least fifty stitches. Wilson
seemed to be jn good spirits and
when the doctor was about to leave
him complainedof the stab in his leg.
The doctor toid him he had not said
anything about it lust night, and
Wilson replied: “Well, doctor, to
tell you the truth, I got tirid of tell
ing you where all the cuts were; it
just seemed as if I was a mass of
cuts.”
In a tent in from o< where Wilson
was lying, lay Hughes. The first
shot went in his left arm at the el
bow and ranged downwards towards
the hand, shattering the bone. The
doctor took out tbis bullet. The
second chut entered his left hip just
below the last rib, This bullet has
not been taken out, and it is this
wound that may cause his death.
Hughes was in good spirits, but from
what the doctor says, he is in a dan-
geroys condition.
Both eewtp to regret the trouble,
and it is one to be reg^a^ted. From
what can be learned these two men
came from Abbeville, and have al
ways been the beat of friends.

THANKSGIVING IN GAFFNEY.
liuHineHH IIouhi-h Were Cloned and the
Churches Held Services.
Thanksgiving Day passed off quiet
ly, and had much the appearance of
Sunday. The business houses gener
ally were closed, the postoffice ob
served Sunday hours and services
were hold in the different churches
in the city.
Services in the Presbyterian church
were conducted entirely by laymen,
and members of the different denomi
nations were present. Prof. W. F.
McArthur superintended the exer
cises; Mr. McWhorter read some pas
sages from scripture and Prof. Grif
fith made a short address.
Special and appropriate music had
been prepared for the occasion, and
it was well rendered by the choir
with Mr. Westrope at the organ.
Owing to the furperal of Miss Ruby
Gaffney the program was somewhat
curtailed and the attendance was not
so large as it would perhaps have
been otherwise; though a large num
ber of young ladies from Limestone
College came up and helped to swell
the congregation.
Laymen services were to have been
held in the First Baptist church, but
on account of the heaters not having
been placed in that church just yet,
it was decided to have them in the
Presbyterian church instead.
Ruby Gaffney is Dead.
Ruby Gaffney, the only daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Gaffney, of this
city, died at the home of her parents
Wednesday morning about 4 o’clock,
after an illness of six weeke. Miss
Gafiney was between thirteen and
fourteen years of age, and had for
some time been a member of the Bap
tist church, and her Christian faith,
sweet disposition and lovable charac
ter were remarkeble in one so young.
Being the only girl, she was idolized
by her parents and greatly loved by her
brother, the only remaining child, all
of whom are much prostrated on ac
count of her death. The remains
were interred in Oakland cemetery
yesterday in the presence of many
sorrowing relatives and friends. Mr.
and Mrs. Gaffney have the sympathy
of the entire community in their
great afftictioh.

Dear Sir—At tho suggestion of a friend
I was advised to use Be-ru-na for catarrh,
and after using ono bottle I began to
feel better in every way. It helped me
in many respects. I was troubled with
colds, coughs, sore throat, etc., but as
soon as I had taken your medicine I
began to improve and soon got well. I
take pleasure in recommending your
great remedy to all who are afflicted
with catarrh.—M. H. McCord.
The spring presents a much more
favorable opportunity for the perma

What They Say About....
Harris Lithia Water:
Mr. J. T. Harris:
Dear Sir—I have found the use of the water
from your Lithia Spring in South Carolina so
efficacious In the ease of a young lady pa
tient of mine, who has suffered for years with
Diabetes, with all Its different attendants,
that I want to add my testlmonal to the
many you already have. The patient I refer
to has used the water freely at home for
Hcarcoly a mouth now, with more beneficial
result* than from months spent at different
lithia springs In different parts of the United
States, besides long continued use of the
same waters at home. Other of my patients
and friends are now using the same with best
results. I cordially recommend It to all suff
ering from similar diseases.
Very respectfully yours,

Asheville, *. C., April 24, 1803.-An ex
tended clinical use of the Harris Lithia Wa
ter prompts me to the statement that I re
gard it as one of the best, If not the best,
Lithia Water known to the profession. In the
condition of Fhosphatio Urine, Its action Is
marvelous. Its use in the Rheumatic and
Gouty diseases afford me more comfort thau
either the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters.
Very truly yours,
