An Overdose of Laudanum. Saturday morning Mr. Jerry Mar tin, who Jived with his family just outside the city limits on the Mills Gap road, having been unwell for sev eral days, took a notion that a dose of laudnum would relieve him and induced bis wife to give him a dose. She gave it to him and left the room and in a few minutes she returned and missed the bottle and asked him where it was. He told her be had thrown it out of the window. She looked and could not find it. By this time Mr. Martin was becoming so stupefied that she made further search and found the empty bottle under his pillow. He evidently had taken the whole of the contents. Mrs. Martin notified neighbors and sent for physicians, who did every thing possible for his relief, but with out avail and he lingered till Sunday forenoon, when he died. His remains were burled at Piedmont church in the western part of the county, where he was brought up. Mr. Martin was a lumberman and bad mills in the upper part of this county and in North Carolina. He was an industrious, energetic man in his business and had many friends. He leaves a wife and several children who have the sincere sympathy of their many friends in their bereave ment. There was no reason for this rash act of Mr. Martin’s, and it is thought that in his sulTering he took the fatal drug without realizing its deadly powers. A SudUen Cull. A negro man named John Turner, of Hoodtown, York county, came to GiilTr.cy Sunday. Yesterday morning he got a job on the Gaffney Manufac turing Company's big finishing house and rolled mortar up on the building to the masons until nearly 0 p. m., and while on the second Hoor of the building, with k a harrow of mortar, he fell forward on the barrow and died inatantiy, presumably of heart failure. I‘'lue Pears. Mrs. Mary Earl, of Blacksburg, presented us with some of the finest pears we have ever seen and they were delicious. We sincerely thank her for them. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Miss Ella Clary, is teaching the Clary Line school. When you come to the city call and subscribe for The Ledger. The weather last week was too fine for anything but work, and the Cher- okeeans worked. The old public well at the intersec tion of Limestone and Frederick streets has been filled up. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge delivered an address in the First Baptist church at Spartanburg Sunday night. Saturday was a fine day and a large number of people were in the city. Business was good in all lines. Miss Lottie Smith, who taught the Williams school last season so suc cessfully, is teaching the same school this season. Pink Hammett, of Maud, was in the city yesterday raising money to build a new church where Cherokee church now stands at Maud. Mies Annie Lou Smith, who gave such great satisfaction at the New Pleasant school last session, is teach ing the same school again. Cherokee Avenue Baptist church has called Rev. G. P. Hamrick, of Boiling Springs, N. C. It has not been learned if he will accept or not. Dr. B. R. Brown brought in a sam ple of his second crop of Irish pota toes Saturday. They are hy far the best we have seen and are equal to any of first or second planting raised in the county. Rev. J. D. Bailey preached to a large congregation in the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church Sunday nighL Mr. Bailey has many friends in GalT- ney and his sermons are always list ened with to interest and pleasure. Merchants report good collections this fall, and farmers are not talking of hard times. Their cotton crops, though light, have furnished them the money they needed to liquidate their indebtedness and their well filled corn cribs makes them independent. Misses Maud Thompson and Mag gie Bryant, the efficient and popular teachers of the White Plains school, opened a new session yesterday. It is thought that Miss Thompson will have to be at home most of this week on account of the sickness of a young sister, who, we are glad to state, is convalescing. HifC TurnlpM. We are indebted to Mr. W. A. Bla lock, of Blacksburg, for some of the largest turnips we ever saw. The smallest one of the lot he gave us weighed six pounds and the largest eight.
