(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.

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.”

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.
It is always radically and permanently
cured by

Which expels all humors, cures all erup
