Roosevelt, like the average north- ener, is horrified at the lynching of negroes in the Southern states, hut if the brutish crimes for which the negroes are lynched ever gives him a pang of sorrow, he, like his ilk, fails to mention it. Condition of CaroHim Crops An Keported by tlepnrtiueut of Agriculture. Columbia, June 10. — The temper atures were generally favorable dur ing the weekending Monday June Oth with a mean of 77 degrees, which is about normal, r. maximum of 9S de grees at BlacKville on the oth, and a minimum of 54 legrees atdreenville on the 2d. In places the nights were too cool for cotton. The sunshine was about normal, with generally cloudy weather at the close of the wet k. The week’s rainfall was much below nor- ~ - mal, and consisted of many local The gay and festive candidate is i showers, poorly distributed, with nu merous points that had no rain. The needed rains fell abroad in the laud. He greeteth you | With a bland smile and externieth the glad hand. He passeth compli ments on the oid maid and pretty ladies, and doth not hesitate to kiss all the little babies. Indeed he muketh himself on all occasions pleasant and seeketh alike the sup port of prince and pheasant. For genuine good fellowship he is hard to surpass, but the question is will this fellowship last. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Your Uncle Samuel Jones has been laboring, assisted by bis able co- worker, Mr. Stuart, with the distillers of Wilkes county, North Carolina, for ten days and as a result many of them have expressed a determination to quit the manufacture of fire-water If lie would now come down into South Carolina and prevail upon the good people of this State to abolish the Siate barrooms and stop the re bates that go to the dispensary com missioners he would add a feather to his cap. But we suspect tnat it would take even a bigger gun than Mr. Jones to demolish the rotten fort behind which the dispc sary stands. ♦ ♦ « ♦ The people of Rowan county, N. C., had great provoea ion to lynch two young negro brute , for the mur der of a defenseless wi man last week, and they lynched the o. But in do ing so they brought d sgrace end re proach upon themselves. We know it is hard to allow the law to take its course in such matters, but when a mob takes the law into its own hands each one of that mob becomes a law breaker. It’s a dirty, dastardly and cowardly act to take a prisoner from jail or the hands of officers and lynch him. ard no credit rests with the lynchers or the officers who permit it without offering strenuous resistence. And we are sorry to say that South Carolina is often guilty of that same lawlessness. It was only last week that two liends were swung into eter nity in the lower part of this State by mobs. Shame upon such cowards! Let the law take its course, and if the law be faulty, let the people cor rect it in the proper way--by the ballot. The usual amount of building will take place in Gaffney this year. Al ready plans have been laid for about $100,000 worth of building improve ments. This does not include the immense mercerizing plant of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company, the dirt for which was broken yesterday. This work alone means an outlay of probably $50,000 to $00,000 for the building and a total investment of about $150,000 including machin ery, etc. The building of this plant means an addition of some three or four hundred people to the popula tion of Gaffney, many of whom will be skilled artisans and command good wages. We understand that this is the only plant of the kind in the South and that it is likely to revolu tionize the milling business of this section. All honor is due Mr. H. D. Wheat for his far-sightedness and en terprise, and it is a safe prediction to make that the enterprise will be a pronounced success, because that gentleman never undertakes anything until he has satisfied himself of the feasibilityj>f the enterorise. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Wheat crops, while far from being good, are reported better than was expected as the crops are being har vested. The regular communication of Gre- nard Lodge 186 A. F M. will take place tomorrow night. Visiting brethren are cordially invited to at tend. Clouds were up all round us yes terday afternoon which appeared to be raining, but none fell in Gaffney •re very near. We are very dry, and crops are suffering. John Price, alias the “Black Kid,” charged with housebreaking and lar ceny, hud a hearing before Magistrate Phillips and was sent up to the next term of court. In default of bond he Was committed to jail. At the business meeting of the Ep- wor*h League Knnduy afternoon the following officers were elected for the ensuiog six months:—Miss Inez Bar- ratt. President; Miss Viola Mercer, 1st Vice-president; Miss Ollie Bcott, 2"d Vice-ureeident; Miss Laura Duff. B'd Vice-president; G. W. Mpeer. Beo- retary; Dexter Hildreth, Treasurer. heaviest and most needed rams in the upperSavannah valley and adja cent counties on the 4th and Th, with probably more on the 8th. Ihe southeastern counties had quite gen eral rains on the 5th. Over the re mainder of the State the rain'ail was extremely light. The drought is be coming serious over the western half of the State, where crops have al ready suffered impairment, and, although corn and cotton con tinue to look well they are not as promising as heretofore, while gardens, pastures, melons, fruits and late grains have been materially injured. There was bail on the 4th at many points, but it did no damage to crops. The weather was favorable for cul tivation and general farm work, and especially for harvesting wheat and oats, which is nearing completion in places, but is still underway at others. Cultivated crops are clean and well worked, with only one report for the week of grassy fields. The general condition of corn con tinues promising, and the earliest is tasselling and being laid by. Later planting looks well, but is being dam aged by cutworms, budworms, hill- bugs and wireworms. especially on bottom lands. Much bottom land is still too dry to plant. Peas are being *own in with corn. t Cotton is recovering slowly from the bad effects of the cold weather of the previous week, and lice, while still prevalent, are gradually disap pearing. The crop is well cultivated, but needs rain or red lands, where some late planted is not yet up. Blooms have beer, noted, and forms are plentiful. In the western coun ties the nights have continued too cool. S-a-island cotton improved during the we'-k. Tobacco is fine in places, but needs rain generally. Worms are still dam aging over limited areas. Some has been cured in Darlington county, which is unusually early. Rice is in fine condition; June rice planting well underway. Wheat and oats har vest continue,but both crops are turn ing out poor, except in a few locali ties where both are fairly good, nota bly in Clarendon county. Melons are promising, but rust has affected some vines; cantaloupes are being shipped Fruits still dropping; peaches are ripening and are being shipped. Ap ples are wormy. Gardens and pas tures need rain. tiraKxy I’oml (><>nnI|i. (Correspondence of The l.edger.) Grassy Fond, June 10—Jeter is a new post< ffiee at the residence of our county supervisor, J V Whelchel, and if “Ben Hoover” has no objec tion I will write a line from it. What say you Ben? What has be come of him anyway? I guess the crab-grass is keeping him busy these day s. Well, the crops around these two places are all well enough worked, though wheat and oats are pretty sorry. Mr. Landrum W'ood’s wife was buried at Grassy Pond last Monday Mrs. Wood had been ill for a long time. She leaves a husband and four little children to mourn her loss. Tney have our heartfelt sympathy. Fred Jolly, the little son of Mr and Mrs. Bill Jolly, died last Friday night. Miss Della Jenkins left for her home in Henrietta. N. C., today ac companied by Miss Nannie Stacy, after spending quite a while with her. Miss Della knows who to visit as S. A. Stacy has one of the finest cherry orchards in the county. Mr J. C. Camp spent Saturday night and Sunday with his wife and children. ^ Mr. R. Stacy and Shade W’ood attended the exposition. Misses Ara and Olar Stacy have re turned home from Limestone College. Mrs. Ed.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.) New Prospect, June 9—Just the other day one of our neighbors went to the office and emne buck with The Ledger for us. We had been with out The Ledger for two or three months, and it was more like shuking hands with some friend who nud long since been left us than to any thing else to which we can compare it. We understand it is sent to us as a present from our friend—J. S. Vmesett. Many tlianks John. We had a fine rain yesterday and everything is looking fresh and grow ing. Crops are looking fine. VVheat is low but seems to be very well filled out. Recently some person or persons having become overpowered by their craving appetite lor honey, pro ceeded to go into the bee-yard of Mr. J. C. Jones, and robbed two of his gums. * The thieves are as yet un known. “Uncle Jack” says he has plenty of honey left, and is going to eat sweets anyhow. As a result of plowing through a rockey place barefooted the other day and trying to uncover some cotton without stopping the mule, we are minus one of our biggest toe nails Perhaps another just as large will grow out. We notice in the columns of The Ledger there are only thirty-eight candidates out in Cherokee. Among whom some have been our classmates in the schoolroom and some our teachers. We are glad to see the boys coming to the front. Some of your older men who are running for office may say we don’t want boys in this business, we want old settled men who have gone through thick and thin, who wore the gray during the civil war and made such good soldiers, men who fought the battles and won the victories. Well now, old men, we do honor you for sucb, so much so that we are now ready since we have worked and toiled so hard for an education, that we now think we can step into your shoes and take the burden off of your shoulders and carry the good work on Yes, old men, we know you have borue the heat and the burden of the day, we know you have seen the frost and sunshine of fifty or sixty I .jng yeais, and we now think it would suit you all better to spend the remainder of your lives in quiet and happiness, and let us young men fall in line and fight the battle, while you all stand bark ard give orders, for there is no doubt but what the future welfare o' our dearly bought and beloved old country lies in the hearts ami hands of the law-abiding MUnsn I.IpNcomb Entertwlu, Misses Agnes and Lena Lipscomb, ! two of Asbury's moat fascinating young ladies, in their very charming manner, entertained a few of their friends last Saturday evening from I eight, to eleven o’clock p. in in j honor of Miss Mclnvail. one of Dar lington’s most beautiful and loving young ladies. Promptly at eigiu o’clock the merry crowd began *o i gather in and, in spite of the drear f 1 | storm, most of the lucky ones came. The feature of the evening wh« tor some to meet sweethearts, others to ! gain sweethearts, and it nirant to still others to lose sweethearts. 1 Everybody present reported a very i delightful evening and we wish to j congratulate Misses Lipscomb on ; their hospitality. Dainty refreshments were grace- | ful'y served by Misses Lula Mac Lit tlejohn and Rosa Lipscomb. Among those invited were: Miss Letsie Mclnvail, of Darlington, Miss j Dora Hamrick, of Shelby, N.

DeM^litrul Luncheon. An elegant three course luncheon tendered in honor of Miss Daisy Hart, i Saturday afternoon by Mrs. W. H. ! Smith. A novel feature of the enter tainment was a flower charade be tween the courses ’n which Miss Daisy Hart received 1st prize, a box- of Lowney’a candy, for the greatest number of correct guesses, and Mrs. Dr. Brown, the booby prize, a botani cal collection of flowers and useful plants, which were delivered by Mrs. Smith in words appropriate to the occasion. The guest were all attired in dainty costumes and after a delightful after noon were unwillingly hurried home by an approaching storm. Those present were: Miss Daisy Hart, Mrs. J D Jones, Mrs W. C.
