The placards protest against the imposition of the house tax, saying it is only exacted in order to meet the indemnity to be paid to the powers, and proceeds: ‘‘If money can bo obtained, why not made war on the foreigners?

Therefore, should the house tax be collected, we will demolish the chapels and drive out the Ohristiaus.

A serious cutting affray occurred on the streets of Manning Monday morning which came near resulting in the death of Mr. E. S. Ervin, a prominent citizen of that place. M. C. Galluchat, a local lawyer and a member of the bouse of representa tives, did the cutting. The difficulty grew out ofja town lot between Gallu- chat and the widow of hia late brother, Joseph Galluchat. Samuel Lee, colored, who was a notorious character around Sumter during the days of good stealing, died in Washington Friday last and was buried in Sumter Tuesday. Lee held the office of probate judge of Sumter county prior to and including 1876. After the ’70 election he had to be ejected from the office. He held a federal position under Arthur’s administration. Gov. McSweeney Tuesday granted a pardon toJno. Genobles, who was convicted in Spartanburg in Novem ber last of aggravated assault and battery and sentenced to pay a fine of $‘200 or serve 18 months on the county chaingang. Among other rea sons given for the pardon the peti tioners show that the man has a wife and several small children; that the victim sustained no permanent in jury and that five months of tbe sen tence have been served. Solicitor Seaso recommended the pardon. Avery Patton, of Greenville, was in Spartanburg a few days ago on bis way from Asheville.

About midnight young Boykin was awakened by a noise, and supposing his dog had gotten into his room, spoke to it. The next moment he was clutched by the chest with one hand, while with the other the burglar held a razor to his throat, warning him not to speak. Boykin struck up the armed hand and sprang out of bed. The burglar jumped out on the piazzza. drew a pistol and pointed it at Boykin, but did not shoot. The young man gave chase, picking up an empty gun. The intruder got away in the bushes. Two little boys, Robert Bishop and Darling Sistare, were drowned near the Arcade Mills in Rock Hill Sun day afternoon. They were 12 and 13 years of age, respectively, and with one younger boy had gone out to the quarry pond to go in bathing It seems that the two older boys un dressed quickly, and one of them jumped into the water, which is six to fifteen feet deep. This boy went down and the other immediately jumped in and went under the water. The youngest boy was frightened at this sight and ran home.

He is a most popular and* capable officer and bis promotion was richly deserved. It is reported that plans are on foot for an electric railroad from Rutherfordton to Asheville.’ Inter ested parties at Rutherfordton agree to build tbe road from Rutherfordton to Chimney Rock if Asheville will build from Chimney Rock to Ashe ville, a distance of about twenty- five miles. It is also stated that the Seaboard Air Line will furnish rails for the proposed line. Judge T. B, Womack, of Raleigh, went to Fayetteville Tuesday after noon on business connected with the case of Lewis Council, the negro un der sentence to be hung on August 12th. It is thought that Judge Womack was there investigating the case for Governor Aycock, though he did not say so. He said that he went to find out the reason for so much apparent doubt among some of the people there as to the negro’s guilt. The regular west bound passenger train, which leaves Asheville at 1:15 a. m., was derailed near Marshall Tuesday morning. The ergioe and all the cars, with the exception of the pullman car, left the track. The engineer, Lee Watson, was instantly killed.

Up to Tuesday he had a fine lot of Plymouth Rocks. Wed nesday he was hunting for them. Someone lifted them Tuesday, night. Mr. Harris kept the chickens in his barn. No one not familiar with the place would know how to get at them, hence Mr. Harris thinks the thief was a negro whom he had em ployed several days ago. Several of tbe chickens were found Wednesday morning at the Gingham Mill where they had been sold. Peter Costellos, a traveling Greek umbrella mender, committed suicide by hanging himself to the limb of a tree a few miles west of Greensboro Saturday. His lifeless body was dis covered by a farmer, who reported the matter to tbe coroner. It was not considered necessary to hold an Inquest. The dead man had $03 in money on his person. In a pocket was also found his naturalization pa pers, taken out in New Orleans in 1896. Tho papers gave tfce age as 26 years at that time. Costellos went to Greensboro in the early part of the week and remained in town sev eral days. He was seen several times in company with two other umbrella menders and appeared to be taking life easy.

Farmers Having Iloth Plowing wiul Hoc- lug to Do Before Laylug-I>y—Solicitor Henry Criticised-Revival Meeting in Progress -Personal News. (Correnpondence of The Ledger.) Ett.v Jane, July 30.—Nothing of an unusual interest has taken place in our section since our last letter. A very good delegation of our peo ple attended children’s day at Meso potamia last Sabbath and express themselves as highly pleased with the exercises. Considerable disap pointment was caused by the non- appearance of the invited speakers. However, the vacancy was filled by others. Rev. Mr. Creech made one of the •'finest lectures on ‘‘Christian Training” this community has been treated to in many years, if ever. The weather for tbe past two weeks has been unusually warm. It is testing the powers of endurance of both man and beast. Many farmers have plowing and hoeing both to do yet before they dismiss their crops. As a general rule there are more poor horses and mules in the coun try now than we usually find. This is accounted for by the great amount of hard plowing they have done. After each freshet the ground was re-broken and it was very tough— much more so than it usually is for the time of year, and in consequence of this tbe stock and men both got a b&ck set. The young corn and cotton are growing nicely and there is a fair prospect for a crop yet. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. A. Frank Smith last Saturday.

SHAFFER ANXIOUS He Is Working Hard to Bring About • Settlement, but There Seems to Be a>harp Snug In tbe Way—Strikers Are Restless. Pittsburg, Aug. 1.—The third ses sion of the meeting of the executive board of the Amalgamated associatiou began this morning and no decisive de cision, whether for continned war or peace, is looked for today. President Shaffer appears to be ex ceedingly anxious to bring about a set tlement of the controversy, but it does not seem that he will be snccessfnl iu persuading the majority of his associ ates unless he is able to obtain for them some modification of the terms that were laid down to them by the big cor poration. He spent all of yesterday m endeavors to obtain some concessions, and the secret conferences by long dis tance telephone aud with Messrs. Veryl Preston and Joseph E. Schwab of the United States Steel corporation, who are iu the city, were many, and it is be lieved fruitless. This unsettled condition of affairs has produced a great restlessness among these interested iu the outcome, and while everybody hopes today will bring an end to the strike, many are still ap prehensive. Toe snag must be a- Very sharp one to produce such dissensions ns has' mauitesfed itself among the members of the executive committee. Armed Neutrality Kxists. Pending the result of the conference there exists a sort of armed nentrality between the opposing factions. The strike leaders have relaxed none of their vigilance, and the officials of the Steel combine are going ou with their plans to start the mills. There was some excitement at Wells- ville last night over the report that enough men to start two miUs were coming from Apollo. Trains were closely watched aud the river front guarded all night, hut no new men arrived. The advisability of dealing forcibly with the new men was openly disoassed and the rabid expressions foreshadowed the growing bitterness that sooner or later before that isn’t the very back of his neck and shoulders catching the force of the fall on the sand, his spinal column was dislocated near the neck. His comrades seeing the accident quickly pulled him out of the water aud pre vented his being drowned. Mr. Manning was taken to the home of Mr. J. R. Barnhill, and a physician sent for. Dr. W. H. Bagwell, who attended him. says almost his entire body is paralyzed and his condition is very serious. A story comes from Northampton county to the effect that, a few days ago while Henry Moody was walking along a lonely country road in that county there suddenly appeared be fore him Wilkes Soott, a man who has been dead since January. Moody recognized Scott, at once, and was about to turn and run when the ap- paration spoke and askei if it® (Moody) was afraid of him. Moody says he then felt no fear and an swered : “I was at first, but am no afraid now.” Scott said: ‘‘Well ant you to get me something to ;e. I have been in purgatory ever I left here, and what I get £es not agree with me. /storlonsly as he bad come I id and left Moody standing to the jury the defendant would have been convicted of murder. Perhaps that is only a matter ol opinion. Mr. Henry’s experience as a prose cuting officer is, no doubt, that juries will lean to the side of mercy rather than justice, and the proba- bilitiSs are that he might not have succeeded so well in open court as even to got his roan for ten years, aud so, with the light before him, he adopted this plan as the safest one to pursue. Mr. Henry shows that he has the nerve and backbone to face his responsibility when he says, there is any mistake in it I only am alone personally responsible for it, and after reviewing the testimony at the inquest he concludes thus: “Giving the benefit of doubt as to who started tbe fight and as to who first got tbe gun in the fight, is a case of manslaughter. Besides, ten years is the life of an ordinary con vict. It is my experieoce that the hardest thing to do is to convict a person of murder without a recom mendation of mercy, which means life imprisonment. When a man has done his duty with the light him be has done all.” If the ring of cure metal we are no judge. _ . Mr. James G. Love, ' member of Company A. iAth o. u.
