HAFFENINGS OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Interestingly Written by Our Regular Correspondent. DEATH OF MR. AZ HORN. He Wan h Gallant Confetlerare Veteran ami a Good Farmer—lluried at Gilead Cluireli —Preparation* for a Children'* l>ay at Salem—New Flat at Pinckney Ferry. ICorrespondence of The Leoger-J Etta Jank, July 30 —Great prepa rations are being made for a chil dren’s day at Halem tomorrow, a fuli report of which we hope to give our readers next week. In looking over the crops we see but little actual damage done the cot ton by the recent dry spell and hot winos. We regret to say that Mr Az Horn died one day last week. He was buried at Gilead church. Mr. Horn was a member of Capt. Boyd’s com pany F 15th Regiment, South Caro lina volunteers, during the war. The cause of his death we Jearn was a general breaking down of the physi cal man At one time he was a man of great physical strength and cour age and was well capacitated o p< r- form the duties of a soldier or a farmer. In looking over the list of Con federate veterans we are often struck with the fine specimens of manhood it presented, and in this Capiain Boyd’s company was no exceoti' U to the rule. Mr. R C Thompson and his son. Willie, passed here yesterday on their way home from their planta tion n Chester county. Mr. Thomp son is one our old army comrades and we but voice the sentiment of every man who knows him when we say there is not a better man living than “Dick” Thompson. His eye sight has failed him and he has our sympathy. He married ot e of our neighbor girls, Miss .Mahala Gailtnsn a daughter of the late Daniel (jail- man, and she too is one of Cherokee county’s best ladies Our thanks are due Master Archie Sparks, of Clifton, for a present in the shape of a fine teacher’s Bible with large print and profuse margi nal references. Archie is one of The Ledger’s bright boy reader-. On the York siue of ii iwei; (err> Mr. Thomas Wilkinson is building a new flat for Pinckney ferry and will launch it at any day. The ruin came last Sabbath in gentle showers and continued to fail until there is a fair Saaron in the ground, and crops, especially young corn, is showing the effect of it That the dry hot winds of which we have had so much this season has done much damage to cotton in piaces is more or Jess apparent, though the cotton still promises a yield far above the average If noth ing happens to it, and anything lik ■ fair prices are realized it will greatly relieve the situation of the farmers of this country financially. As much as it is talked about we verily be lieve there is nothing so poorly un derstood as the cotton problem For what they are worth we give the figures of the Richmond, Ya.. Dis patch in answer to the following question : How many bales of cotton were grown per >Par and prices paid, be ginning with 1870, taking middling as a basis? Here are the figures in hundreds of thousand ba'es ai d ( yt-n cer is p* j r poo- -1: 31, 24; Is?! 13 17; 1872, 21) 22; 1873, 30 20; 1871. 41 18; 1875 38 15; 1876, 17 13; 1877. 45, J 2; 1878 48 11 ; 1870, 51. 11; 1880, 58, 12; 1881 0t>, 12; 1882 54, 12; 1883, 70, 12; 18S1, 57, 11; 1885, 57, 10; 1880, 05 0; 1887. 05, 10; 1888,70, 10; 1880, 70, 11; 1800 73 11; 1801, 87 0; 1802, 00. 8; 1803, 07 9; 1804, 75 7; 1895, 00 7; 1800 72 8; 1807 88 7; 1808 112, 0; 1890, 112 7; 1000, 94, 0; 1001, 104, 9. From these figures (which no doubt are as nearly correct as they can^be made) it takes no mathemati cal genius to understand how a large cotton crop ruins tlu- price of it, and hurts rather than helps the farming classes. Here’s a problem which some of our readers will please wotk out and give The Ledger the answer: When lirst the marrlatte knot was ti< <J, Between my wile a <1 me, My axe did tiers as far exceed As three times three doth three; But when we ten and half ten yi ars had married been. Uer axe came as near to mine as eight doth to sixteen. 1 desire that you will unto me say, What our ages were on that wedd rijr day. The thanks of Salem Sunday School are due The Ledger for nice badges furnished it for Children’s day. A report circulated that one of Mr. Tom McKown s boys was in the Texas penitentiary is denied by Searcy Baker the super.ntendeot of that institulion. He says, "There is no such a man here and hasn’t been for two years. I have searched the record*. If be is here he is under •ome other name.” Mr. McKown Dtoved from York county to Texas about teo years ago. Notwithstanding the many charges brought against him it was u very forceful expression of Col, Jim Till man at Chester last Saturday when he said: ‘‘They may crucify me on the cross of slander, but God in Heaven knows St is as unjustifiable as when they pinioned to the cross the lowly Nazarine.” Mrs. Jenny Bparks, of Clifton, with her children, Jessie, Archie and Clyde, are visiting friends and rela tives in this community.
