COTTON OPENING SLOWLY Chrtati'.ui Endeavors Conduct Services at an Invalid’s Bedside—Sunday School Con vention at Mesopotamia—Injured Men Recovering- Personals ami Other Items. (Correspondence of The Leaser.) Etta Jane, Sept. 25 —The Hower j committee of the Christimi Endeavor Society met at the home of Mr * I “Bud” Comer last night in their of ficial capacity and conducted service at the bedside of his mother, Mrs. Avis Comer, who is. and has been for several years, an invalid. The floral display was an attractive ii°ture of the occasion and the ser- t^e was highly creditable to the com mittee and society. Several of their friends were present and witnessed the exercises. Miss Mary Edmunds, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Edwards, will re turn to Cedar Springs next week, where she will resume her studies in that institution. The fine spell of weather now on hand is favorable for any and ali Kinds Of farm work and the farmers are making good use of it. Cotton is not opening as fast as it sometimes does. This is accounted for by the moisture in the earth, which keeps it still growing. A late and favorable fall will add many bales to the market that otherwise will not mature. k The Woodmen of the World pro pose to build a hall in connection with the new school house now being arranged for and which is expected to betfbuilt witbiu the next few weeks. Mr. James Eison brought his saw mill over yesterday and will begin sawing today. Mr. Lem Ross, with Mr. Hass, of Gaffney, was in this section this week on business. We are glad to know that Mr. Beatty Morris, who got his leg broken s-veral days ago, is getting along as well as could be expected, and thur thtr-* is no apparent reason why he should lose the limb. vVe hope for him a speedy and complete recovery. As previously announced, the North Pacnlet Sunday School Convention met at Mesopotamia last Sabbath anil carried out the program Rev S. T. Creech preached an excellent and im- | pressive sermon on “Parental respon- | sibility and filial duty.'’ His texi j was Kings 2:2: “Be thou strong ami : show thyseif a mao.” At the con- ! elusion of the sermon the ordinance ; of baptism was adminietered to eh ven young converts, who recently joined the church. There w$s an unusually large crowd in attendance and the best of order prevailed. As usual, the ladies took riie congregation in hand during the dinner and spread an abundant feast of good vituals, and all were thus made happy. Rev. and Mrs* J. N. Isom were present and were heartily welcomed by their old friends. Mrs. Isom, who has been in delicate health for some time, is very much improved. Her friends hope forjher a speedy aud complete recovery. This morning feels as if we might have an early frost. We notice in Tuesday’s Ledger the types make us say that the 4th of March in 1903 and also 1910 will fall on Sunday instead of Friday. This misprint is no doubt chargeable to my illegible handwriting and is not the fault of the intelligent compositor, and we make the correction lest those of our readers who make the calcula tion will find our statemeut incorrect. We often find mistakes in the spell ing of words that we presume the reader will correct and we scarcely ever go back to notice these. In studying tbe bistory of great men (or any others for that matter) the best way to determine their greatness, or littleness, (as tbe case may be) is to watch their dying dec larations if they die in their senses. A few words then will tell tbe ob servant reader more of them than whole volumns at other times. A few of the recorded instances areas follows: Christopher Colum bus said, “Lord, into Thy hand I commend my spirit.” Thomas Jeff erson. “I am not afraid to die ” John Q Adams, “This is the last of earth.” Stonewall Jackson, “Let us pass over the river and rest under the shade of the tri es.” Voltaire, “Oh, that. I could call hack my life ” William McKinley’s deathbed dec larations are fresh in the minds of the people and we need not repeat them. They pla.ee him far above our estimation of the man while in life. McKinley dead is a greater man than McKinley living. Will some one please give us the pronunciation o ; the man's name who killed McKinley? While in Gaffney yesterday we called at The Ledger office and found the boys at work getting out the paper. We noticed some new hands among them, hut as we were in a hurry did not find out their names or make acquaintances. However, they are a very good looking set of fellows, something rather unusual for literary men, whom John Fowler says are generally ugly. Somebody killed a “pizen” snake and put it under Ed Edward’s door and he is much disturbed to know what it means. Somebody tell him. Mrs. Amanda Lee and Mrs John Edwards went to the capital Tues day on a shopping expedition. We are glad to learn that Mr. Bud Robinson, whose hurt we mentioned recently, is getting up and about again. With regret we learn that Mr. and Mrs. Walter J. Moorhead, of Hickory, lost one of their children last week with diptheria. We sympathize with the grief stricken parents and trust that they will be able to see that in the midst of His wrath God will re member mercy. Parents:—Upon (lod’s mercy look. For with eternal care He in His arms your ilarliuK took. To hold securely there. J. L. S. Tot Causes Night Alarm. “One night my brother’s baby was taken with Croup,” writes Mrs. J. C. Snider, of Crittenden, Ky., "it seemed it would strangle before we could get a doctor, so we gave it Dr. Kings New Discovery, which gave quick relief and oermaneutly cured it. We always keep it in the house to protect our children from Croup and Whooping Cough. It cured me of a chronic bronchial trouble that no other remedy would relieve.” Infallible for Coughs.

Officer rbomas Lockhart, who has been connected with the Gaffney po lice force for several years, has re signed his position here to accept one of a similar nature in Blacksburg. Tom was a faithful, fearless and effi cient officer, and withal, a good fel low, and we were sorry to have him leave us. We feel quite sure that the people of Blacksburg will liKe him, both as an officer and as a gentleman. This ought to be a good time to buy thoroughbred stock, as breeders do not cure to winter too many ani mals. Disfigured Skin Wasted muscles and decaying bones. What havoc! Scrofula, let alone, is capable of all that, and more. It is commonly marked by bunches in the neck, inflammations in the eyes, dys pepsia, catarrh, and general debility.
