represented to the governor that an
appeal was pending and a respite of
30 days was granted.
The governor received a letter Fri
day morning from O P. Austin, chief
of the bureau of statistics of the cen
sus department, who is compiling a
work showing the area ceded by the
thirteen original states to other ter
ritories and states. Mr. Austin finds

ing to the Mississippi river.
About twenty invitations were re
ceived Friday morning by the gover
nor to deliver addresses and be pres
ent at commencement exercises and
other events. The invitations came
from every section of the state and
the dates for some of them are two
months off. It will, of course, be
impossible for the governor to accept
many of these invitations.
Constables Thursday night raided a
store in the mill district, in Columbia
kept by a man named Miles, and took
everything in sight. A large quan
tity of jwhisky and beer, ice chest,
slot machines, glasses, soda water

thorough raid made in some time.
Governor Heyward has declined to
commute sentence imposed upon
Winter Cantey, and the condemned

A negro man visited the house of a
lady on Gervais street in Columbia a
night or two ago and after asking
some foolish questions asked the
lady if her husband was at home.
She became frightened and slammed
the door in his face. The negro’s
manner greatly alarmed the lady,
whose husband happened to be in
New York, and she baa to send for
her brother-in-law to remain in the
bouse with her ail night. From the ne
gro’s manner she was sure, she said,
that he was there for no good purpose.
Tho police were unable to locate the
man.
Gov. Heyward Friday received a
cablegram from Hon. R. H. Walker,
member of the legislature from Barn
well county and a leading citizen of
Allendale, announcing that his
nephew, Lieut. Ward V. Walker, had
been killed in action in the Philip
pines. He begged the governor to
assist in getting the remains to the
home of the mother of the deceased at
Appleton The governor sent his
condolences to Mr. Walker, and
wired the war department to do what
they could in the case The army
register of 1903 does not give the
name of Lieut. Walker among the
commissioned officers.
SUNDAY SERVICES.
Two Splendid SermmiH by Mr. Steadman—
Work of MInh Wllllama.
There was a large and attractive
congregation at both services at the
Buford Street M. E. church last Sun
day. At 11 a. m.Rev. Mr. Steadman
preached on the “Storms of Life.”
In his opinion, trials and difficulties
discipline and develop us—“Rough
seas make skillful sailors. At
the evening services his subject was,
“Wanted, a Man.” His sermon was a
plea for manliness, in every relation
of life.
This was the last Sunday that Miss
Williams will direct the Buford Street
choir. This is generally regretted, for
her friends are legion. Her work as
directress has been exceptional and
pleasing to both pulpit and pew.
Mr. Steadman, last night, feelingly
referred to her faithful work. He
said : “In all my experience as a min
ister I have never had so satisfactory
a choir. I have never had one mo
ment’s anxiety about the choir and
music. I have always felt that part
of the services would be right, and so
it has. The directress and choir
have never failed me, and that means
a great deal, while the music and its
rendition have always been in a
consecrated and Christian spirit.”
He also spoke of the faithful services
of the others, Miss Barton, Miss
Whitmire and Miss Brown, who have
so faithfully aidedjand sustained Miss
Williams, as well as the resident
members of the choir.
If there is such a thing as compli
menting the work of the choir,lastBun-
day’s work was the best in its history.
The feature was Miss Williams’ solo,
“Eternity;” while “Oh he joyful
in the Lord,” by Misses Wood and
Barton, and Messrs Lipscomb and
Hames, as a quartette, was admira
ble.
In conversation last evening Mr
Otts said: “All credit is due to Miss
Williams; but for her the committee
were hopeless ' She has been the
woman for the occasion.”
The church and its friends will no
doubt'be pleased to know that ar
rangements are about completed to
continue the choir, with additions,
and under a competent director.
As intimated above, Miss Williams
will not return next season, at d the
church will lose her services. She
will take post-graduate work in vocal
music.. Miss Whitmire will proba
bly go to Florence. S. 0 , while it is
exceedingly doubtful if Misses Brown
and Barton will return.
The work of Mr. J. W. Lipscomb
as a bass has been admirable; there
has been a marked improvement in
his work. His faithful services have
been gratuitous, and often at a sacri
fice of his time from business, to at
tend practice; and for this reason
bis services are the more appreciated.
He has placed the Buford Street con
gregation under lasting obligations to
him.
The choir and congregation closed
the services with “God be with you
till we meet again.”
An luterestln^Caae in Uourt.
Last Thursday morning the case of
F. G. Stacy vs. The Cherokee Foun
dry and Machine Works was com
menced before Magistrate Speer.
The whole day was devoted to testi
mony of Messrs. Stacy, Randall, and
Peeler. There are several nice law
points involved, and the case is one
of interest to lawyers. The suit is
based on an implied contract, and
counsel for.defendant contends that
□o quantum meruit, or implied con
tract, can arise against a corporation
in favor of an official. It is said the
point has never been passed upon by
our supreme court. J. C. Jefferies
is attorney for Stacy, and J. C. Otts
is attorney for the corporation.
Plano Kecital at Limestone.
This (Tuesday) afternoon, at 4:30
o’clock, there will be a piano recital
at Limestone College auditorium
given by Miss Lucyo Littlejohn,
graduate in the claes of music of 1903.
This will be followed by one,tomorrow
evening at 8:80 o’clock,given by Miss
Lucy Barton, assisted by Miss Ruth
Cooner.
The public is cordially invited to
attend both recitals. Mieses Barton,
Cooner and Littlejohn are charming
young ladies of rare attainments and
those who attend these recitals will
be treated to a rare feast of music.
Former Senator Kellogg, of Louis
iana, and Judge Weldon, of the Court
of Claims, vVasbington, are the only
survivors of the Illinois electors who

Etta Jane, May 23.—Mr. Will
Westmoreland, of Hickory Grove,
is repainting Hon. C. W. Whisonant’s
house.
Farmers are wanting rain so that
they can begin chopping out cotton.
Mr. John Williams, who went to
the cotton mills of Gastonia, N. C.,
last winter, has had a good deal of
sickness in his family and they are
coming jack to their old home next
week.
We spent the day yesterday with
Mr. and Mrs. P. S. Webber, of
Wilkinsville. Since the death of their
daughter, Miss Avelona, they have
been very lonely. But they have
great reason to rtjoice at her tri
umphant death. Her last message
to them was to meet her in heaven.
She was a noble young lady and her
circle-of friends was only bounded by
the circle of her acquaintances. Mr.
Webber has been crippled for a year
and has not been able to do the work
of his customers; but he still does
all that he can. Pink is chock full
of energy.
The Wilkinsvilie oil mill is an
established certainty, or at least
everything is in shape for commenc
ing work, and there is no doubt out
that much of this year’s crop will be
worked up iu this new mill.
Those of our people who have bees
say they are doing very well this
season making honey.
Dr. L. R Black has settled down
to his practice of medicine. For the
time being he will live with Mr. C. F.
Quinn. He did some practice here
more than a year ago and iu it he was
quite successful.
The North Pacalet Inter-Denomi
nation Sunday School conventional
will meet at Uorinth church on June
28' h. Programme will appear goon.
We hope the genial editor of The
Ledger will give us a full report of
the New Orleans convention of the
U. 0. veterans, together with other
incidents of interest. This will be
good reading for all of us.
One of our colored neighbors, Levi
Wood, caught a fish out of Thickety
creek one day last week which weighed
ten pounds. It was a carp, we are told.
There is a general complaint cf rust
on the wheat, andjjthe oat crop is as
good as a failure.
Dr. and Mrs. 8am Foster art high
ly pleased at the arrival of a boy baby
at their home. W’e congratulate
them.
Several of our people went to Gaff
ney this week on a shopping expedi
tion, and there is a lot of new dresses
in the neighborhood tJ make up.
A rumor has reached here that Mr.
W. R. Waiaer is lying very sick at
Richmond, Va., with peumonia.
Our friend, Mr. Morgan W'illwood,
who is one Cherokee county’s cham
pion watermelonjraisers tell us that to
cultivate melons rightly the ground
should be plowed just as deep as it is
possible to do when they are being
worked. The deep plowing holds the
moisture—the very thing the melon
feeds from. We hope our readers
will note Mr. Millwood’s plan and re
port results this fall. Messrs. Mill-
wood, John Gaffney and Capt. John
Mintz are the three principal melon
raisers in Cherokee county that we
know of. We have seen some of their
melon farms and they speak for
themselves.
Rev. J. T. Fowler, of Camoobello,
visited his brothers, Messrs. J. H. and
Wm. G. Fowler, this week.
The people of Bullock’s creek held
memorial service at the cemetery
last Saturday. It was a very interest
ing programme and was carried out
to the letter.
In my last letter speaking of Rev.
Mr. Knox’s church iu Columbia, it
should have said Laurel street in
stead of Green street, wnere the
church is located.
During our recent visit to Colum
bia we called at the asylum and saw
our old friend, William E. Blackwell,
who has been in that institute for
quite a number of years. He knew
the writer very well and it’s remark
able how well he remembers every
thing. At one time be had the bright
est mind of any man we ever knew. He
was a natural born poet. We have
for a number of years been
sending him copies of different
papers which he reads, and can tell
more of them than some peoole will
who are out of that institutiou. He
requested us to send him papers
regularly.
Mrs. Jimmie Strain has been quite
unwell for a few days.
The gunners have been playing
havoc with the crows lately, and the
cornfields are having some rest from
these posts.
We are glad indeed to understand
that the comptroller general’s office
in Columbia exonerates Commander
M. M. Tate, pension commissioner of
Cherokee county, from the irregulari
ties occurring in the pension list of
this county. Mr. Tate is a concientious
man, and will not for friend or foe
swerve from his duty, as he under
stands it. This is a relief, not only
to Mr. Tate but, his friends as well.

Cloning Exercises School No. 3.
Long before the time appointed,
Friday evening, 8 o’clock, the
spacious hall of graded s:h( ol No. 2,
was filled with friends and patrons of
the school, to witness the closing
exercises. For more than an hour
the audience was delightfully enter
tained with music, recitations, dec
lamutions, dialogues and operettas.
More than one hundred children,
beautifully dressed, from six to twelve
years, took part in the exercises. In
the opening song. America, they pre
sented a most charming and im
posing scene upon the rostrum. They,
without an exception, rendered their
parts well,bestowing much honor upon
the teachers who so faithfully and
patiently trained them.
After the exercises by the school,
Prof. Sbuford, in a brief, but appro
priate address, introduced Hou.
Clyde R. Hoey, editor of the Cleve
land Star, Sheiby, N. 0. To those
who know Mr. Hoey it is needless to
say the audience was delightfully
entertained. He is one of North
Carolina's, most* gifted young law
yers. Nulwilhsbauding Mr. Hne.v’s
stay was short. Gaffney was glad to
have him as her guests.
Successful Term at Colored School.
The session just closed at graded
school No. 3. has been a successful
one. It is the school for colored
children and is presided over by Rev.
Robt. C. Campbell. There was,during
the past session, an average atten
dance of 325 pupils, of whom 146
were females and 179 were males.
The principal, Rev. Robt. C. Camp
bell, is a colored man who stands
high in this community. He has
been the pastorof a colored Methodist
church—Duntnn Chapel—here for a
number of years and has had charge
of graded school No. 3, ever since the
graded school system has been in
augurated in Gaffney. He has
proved a fine disceplinarian and an
acciptable teacher. He says his as
sistants are faithful and capable and
have added much to the success of
the school.
Cherokee JPalle Milla Increase.
The following is clipped from the
Columbia State of Sunday :
“Mr. J. C. Plonk, president of the
Cherokee Falls Manufacturing com
pany, was in the city yesterday to ar
range with the secretary of state for a
chart r for the big manufacturing es
tablishment near Blacksburg. This
mill was chartered by the legislature
in 1882, and in order to amend the
charter it would have been necessary
to get the legislature to uass another
act, a process which is very distaste
ful to the law makers.
The company wished to increase its
capitalization from$300,000 to $1,000,-
000 and it was decided to take out a
new charter fr om the secetary of state.
The company deposited a check for
$550.50 in payment thereof.”
This large increase of the capital
stock of the Cherokee Manufacturing
Company means much for Cherokee
county. It means a new city of
two or three thousand people at Cher
okee Ford, where patriots of the Rev
olution camped and operated from,
and on the same site where less than
half a century ago a small army of
iron workers lived and made iron.
CommlHBiou Appointed.
The commission appointed by au
thority of au act of the general as
sembly to raise $10,000 by popular
subscription to supplement the $20,-
000 given by the State to build an
equestrian statute of General Wade
Hampton, has appointed Dr. Wm.
Anderson, of Blacksburg, Mr. T. M.
Littlejohn, of Star Farm, Mr. T. L.
Bryant,,of White Plains and Mr.J. N.
Lipscomb and Mayor J. Q. Little, of
Gaffney, to raise Cherokee county’s
portion of the $10,000, which ie $150.
Knowing our Cherokee people and
the members of the committee in
charge of the work, we confidently
predict that Cherokee’s portion will
be raised and forwarded in the next
few days.

thirty-odd people and the guards al
lowed the sheriff by the law. Deputy
Sheriff J. E. Lambeth sprung the
trigger which ended the career of one
of the most remarkable murderers in

plete success. Death resulted within
12 minutes after the trap had been

Scranton, Pa., procured from the
register of deeds of Wayne county li
cense to marry Anna Wooten, a
negro, who has lived there ail her life.
He failed to get any one to tie the
knot. Smith obtained his license by
representing himself to be mixed-
blood. He is without doubt a white
man. The Wooten woman is about
25 years of age. When these facts
became known, several young men
advised him to leave town. Without
auy unnecessary delay he acted upon
the advice given. Smith bad been at
work iu Goldsboro on the streets for
quite awhile, assisting in the street
improvements.
A SOCIAL EVENT.
Delightful Reception Given by Mr. and Mn.
W. if Smith.
Tbe reception tendered to Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Wellington Watt, of
Charlotte, N. C., by Mr. and Mrs.
William Hilliard Smith lust evening
was one of the most charming social
events of the season. The pretty
new home of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, on
Granard street, was appropriately
decorated for the occasion and from
8 :80 to 12 o’clock it was a scene of
animation. Lovely and exquisitely
charming femininity vied with hand
some and gallant gentry in making
the affair a most delightful one. Few
receptions in the social life of Gaff
ney have equalled this, and it has
not been surpassed by any. It was
also the thirtieth anniversary of the
marriage of Mr. and Smith, but it is
only fair to add that had they not
disclosed the secret themselves, no
one would have guessed it, for one
was more liable to think that it was
the climax of a honeymoon than to
believe that a score and a half years
had passed since that event.
The dining-parlor was a dr^am of
loveliness and tiie tempting array of
viands weie the choicest selection of
the culinary art. It is difficult to
conceive of such a reception Deing
given in a citv of less than twenty
thousand population, and it only goes
to display the varied and wonderful
resources of the conceiver of the affair.
The color scheme was red.
On entering, the guests were greet
ed by Miss Effie Hopper at the land
ing, while Mies Fannie Fori did the
introducing. Mrs Rosa Roundtree,
Mrs. Ed Eison and Miss Viola Mer
cer presided over the dining-room.
Miss Myrtle Gaffney and Miss Julia
McArthur acted as ushers, and Mies
Eunice Johnson and Mies Blanche
Wilson presided at the punch bowl.
A delightfo f Mire of the occasion
was the attendauce in a body of Mrs.
Smith’s Sunday school class of
beautiful and bright young ladies.
Mr. and Mrs. Watt are leaders
among Southern society. Mr. Watt
has resided iu Charlotte for yeais.
He is one of the most popular kuights
ol the grip in this country, a gentle
man of culture and refinement, and
numbers among his acquaintances
the leading social and business people
of the South. Mrs. Watt is a Savan
nah lady, lovely in feature, graceful
in carriage and charming in personal
ity. She impresses herself at once,
being a woman of refinement and cul
ture, devoid of hauteur. She will be
pleasantly remembered by all who
ha^e had the opportunity of meeting
her white here.

An Interesting Case.
J. C. Otts, Esq., went to Blacks
burg Friday evening, where he ap
peared as coutsel for J. E. Ladshaw,
guardian ad litem for Lola A. Turner,
plaintiff, against Chas. A. Turner,
defendant, in the taking of the testi
mony by commission of Mr. R. G.
Baker, who is unable to attend court.
8. G. Finley, Esq., of Spartanburg,
appeared as counsel for the defend
ant. The testimony was taken be
fore Magistrate Gold, and is said to
have been very interesting.
Ex-Gov. John Gary Evans and
Stanyarne Wilson, Esq., are also at
torneys in the case. The suit ie for
alleged ill-treatment and cruelly beat
ing of the daughter, Mies Lola A.
Turner, by the father. Mr. 0. A.
Turner, and is for $10,000 damages.
The case is an unusual one, and from
the above array of counsel, it will
doubtless be a legal battle to the fin
ish.
