AMERICAN SCHOONER CAPTURED. She Is Towed Into Port by a Cuban Revenue Cutter. New York, Oct. 6.—One of Cuba's tiny revenue cutters, the Abjorro, has towed into this port the American schooner Champion, of Key West, Fla., which was captured at Los Arroyos, in the western.end of the island, says a Havana dispatch to The World. The Champion had been out 35 days, was bound for Batabano, not more than a week’s voyage distant, and when captured had only covered half the distance. It is believed a cargo was secretly landed at Arroyos. Aboard the vessel is said to have been found tackle for catching turtle and a large quantity of dynamite, whicn was to have been used to destory two large wrecked- vessels near Arroyos. These would have yielded a large re turn of brass and copper. The captured vessel Is manned by negroes from Nassau, all of whom aro now under guard on their vessel at the arsenal in this city.

We are indebted to our young friend, Sam Strain, of Etta Jane, for the following article taken from the “Southern Farm Magazine,” which will be of interest to a majority of our readers: “On July 1, 1902, the railroad for merly known as the South Carolina & Georgia Extension Railroad became a part of the Southern Railway system. It extends from Camden, 8. C., to Marion, N. C., with a short branch from Blacksburg to Gaffney, S. C., the aggregate length being 1(53 miles. The line extends virtually from the mountains to the border of the coastal plain, and passes through quite a variety of country. “In South Carolina it traverses Kershaw, Lancaster, York and Cher okee counties, and in North Carolina Cleveland, Rutherford and McDowell counties, each of which jpossesses re sources of merit and advantages worthy of consideration and develop ment. “Most of Cherokee county is in what is known as the Alpine section of the state, which is a rolling table land, broken and hilly on the margin of the streams, but scarcely anywhere inaccessible to the plow, the general elevation above sea level being from 1,000 to 1,500 feet. The soils are produced by the decomposition of gneiss rock, and may be found as a gray sandy loam, with a red and sometimes a white clay on the level and a stiff red clay soil on the hill side . The bottom lands have a dark loam, which is very productive of corn, grain and grass. The leading places are Gaffney, Blacksburg and Cherokee Falls. At Cherokee Falls there is a large cotton mill. “Blacksburg has a population of about 2,000. It is quite a manufac turing town, having a -fTo.OOO ferti lizer factory, a .lioO.OOO sulphuric acid plant, a machine shop, lime works, roller flour mill, hosiery mill and cot ton seed oil mill. Near the town are iron ore and manganese deposits. During the pest year a $25,000 bank was established, the hosiery mill completed and placed in operation, as well as the cotton seed oil mill. More than $10,000 was spent during the year in residence improvements. Gaffney, which is the terminus of a ten-mile branch of this division, run ning from Blacksburg, and is also on the main line of the Southern Rail way. has a population of about OOJO. It has a number of prosperous and growing industries, the more impor tant being the cotton mills of the Gaffney Manufacturing Co. and the Limestone Manufacturing Co., capi tal $1,000,000 and $225,000, respect ively; a cottonseed oil mill, foun dry, lime works, roller flour mill, carpet factory and cotton mill supply factory. The town has two good banks, good schools and mercantile houses. Most of these industries are the de velopments of the past two years. The Gaffney Manufacturing Co. is now building a large finishing plant. Last year $200,000 was spent by the citizens in new residences and other buildings. This town is a good location for new industries ” In Russia the penalty for leading a strike is the same as that for a re bellion. l-'orty Yearn’ Torture.

FLAW PICKER ON THE FEMALE WOMAN He and the Parson Have a Lively Discussion. WOMEN OF BIBLE TIMES* Tlie rnrson Suvs tliiit » Good Woman is tlie HtiMt Tiling; on Earth and a Mean one the Worst —The Effect of Their Uressin’s and Fix in’s on Men. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Coalin’ Ground, Oct. 3.—“Flaw, it’s a feloniously dead certainty that I’ve got it in for you now,” said the Parson t’other day—the first time I met him since I wrote that there piece on “The Greatest Gift of God to Man,” a bearin’ on the female women sext. “Of course, Flaw,” he opened forth his mouth an’ went on down to say, “I will agree with you that there are some bad women in the world, even up to this day an’ time, but that’s no reason why you should jump on the whole push. “Now, there’s Lot’s wife for nin- stant: ‘As you make your bed so will you lie,’ the good book says. She chose to make her bed a hard one for we learn that she lay with her bead on a pillow of salt. If she had made that there pillow for poor ole Lot in stead of sleepin on it herself you meby meught of called her a mean woman. “An’, Flaw, there’s Ruth, an’ Na omi, an’ Hagar, an’ Rebtkah, an’ a whole passel more rale good women we read about in the good book. We learn in there that after seven devils were cast out of another woman she turned out to be a rale good woman, too, but the majority of our women of today, Flaw, don’t need no devils cast out for they are good enough as they are—good enough for me at any rates. “Now. Flaw, don’t think that I’m a takin’ up for all women. Taae Poi- iphar’s wife for ninstant: Such wo men as she was is raley dangersome. If they can’t git you in trouble one way they will another. An’ Flaw, that reminds me of what you have said, that a rale mean woman is the meanest piece of God’s creation, but I do bleeve that they are few an’ scat terin'. Now, there was Tamar; she would of bin called a bad woman in our day an’ time but when ole Judah saw what a fool she had made of him he said she was more righteous than he, an’ this, Flaw, bears out another one of your sayin’s, that a woman can lead a man to the jumpin’ off place an’make him jump off first. You see how cunnin’ Tamar was, to throw off her widow’s garments and put on her veil an’ other flxments to deceive ole Judah. 1 tell you what’s a dyin’ fact, Flaw, fine dressin’ an’ fancy fixments on a woman is calculated to make any man of this day an’ time lose his head—but it didn’t seem to have any effect on ole fool Joseph. “Talkin’ about treachersome an’ deceivin’ women, Flaw, look there at Sarah, what a fool she was about to make of ole Abimelech until the Lord got in behind both of ’em. Look what a predicament ole Lot’s two daughters got him into! why, they actiaily made him drunk as a fiddler’s puppy for two nights baud ruunin’. “Now Sarah was a good woman I raley do bleeve, Flaw, for she lived to be a hundred and twenty-seven years old, an' I don’t bleeve she would ever of got into that mixup with ole Abi melech if it hadn't a bin for ole Abra ham. Such a man as him wouldn’t git very much countenance from re spectable people of these days, hut he was highcockalorum in his day an’ time. Guess the Lord thought ‘with all his faults I love him still,’ as the song goes. “There’s Rehekah ; T raley do bleeve that she was as sweet a gal as ever lived in them days, although she went off with a man’s servant (meby mought a bin a nigger fer all I know) to meet an’ marry Isaac, a pluperfect stranger to her. If a gal would cut such a caper in this day an’ genera tion the papers would be full of it. The reason why I say she was a sweet gal is because we learn in the good book that Isaac loved her on first sight, an’ that she was fair to look upon, but she, too, got into the de ceivin’ business after so long a time an’ caused Jacob to swindle Esau out of his blessin’, an’ the scoun’l bad to leave hocne on the strength of it. But, Flaw, there’s oodlins an’ ood- lins of gals what are rale good women an’ you shouldn’t orter be so hard down on ’em. “Well, Parson,” said I, “you aint mentioned a single gal in the whole turnout what aint bin in the practice of deceivin’ men (oiks more or less, an’ I didn’t go an’ dig up no scripture to prove what I said about ’em. I only stated personal observances an’ left the people to think what they want to about it, but since you have brought au’ brung up scriptures what I don’t know but very little about, you understand, they only bear out what I have said au’ don’t need no more substantuations.” I left the Parson a pallin’ at his eye brows an’ stodyin’ seriously on our little conflab Flaw Picker. A wise man always bets on the top dog and the bottom facts. Never Ask Advice. When you have a cough or cold don’t ask what is good for it and get some medicine with little or no merit and perhaps dangerous. Ask for Foley’s Honey and Tar, the greatest throat and lung remedy, it cures ooughs and colds quickly. Cherokee Drug Co. Wilkins-Bristow Clothing Co.’s Scrivens Fleece Lined Drawers.
