Etta Jane, Aug. 1.—The children’s
day at Salem last Thursday, 30th
ult., brought together one of the
largest and most orderly congrega
tions that has assembled there on a
similar occasion in many years, if
ever before.
All sections of the country were
represented. Precautions were taken
to preserve good order, and it was
plainly to be seen that it had its
effect. Still there was some drinking
on the sly. But when the tiger sight
ed the danger signals it skipped to a
more congenial clime. But it left its
ground. Another should follow with
hammer and nails and nail on 2 slats
6 inches above the ground at right
angles to each other. The stake
should then be filled half up, and
and contents by tire on last
day morning. The contents included
two doe mules, two fine milch cows,
buggy shed, cotton house, shucks,
fodder, etc., in all aggregating in
value about $(>00. The insurance
amounted to only $50. Mr. Aycock
has no information as to the origin
of the fire; but believes it to have
beeu the work of an incendiary.
Mr. Art! ur W. Cushman
killed himself at his home, eight

morning at 8 o’clock. Mr. Cushman

You will observe that the

I put up last year 50 acres on one
thousand stakes, and though there
were small rains, I did not find a

out. My stakes ami slats were all
sawed, for stakes, logs ten feet long,
and for slats, 12 feet being used.
Every stake was 5 feet long and
sharpened, and every slat 4 feet, for
convenience in hauling, and when
the crop was haled, in housing, i

after a negro thief- Friday morning
about 4 o’clock. After watching the
suspicious movements of the mis

chickens in a bag and a number of
coats. One of the coats was immedi

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Trough, July 29.—At last we have
bad a delightful rain. Yesterday even
ing about 8 o'clock the clouds came
up from a southwesterly direction,
proceeded by a refreshing wind that
fanned away the heat of a sultry day.
Then the rain, with heavy thunder
and lightning continual, began, and
continued until late in the night.
More water fell during that time than
has fallen since the destructive fresh
et. Cow peas; gardens, etc., are
greatly revived.
During rbe storm lightning struck
a dwelling house on "Greenhorn,”
occupied by Mr. James Brown aod
family (seven in number). One bolt
ran down the chimney into Mr.
Brown’s side cutting a groove in the
brick at the back. Striking the hearth
it flashed out through the room where
allithelfamily, except Mr. Brown, him
self, who was absent at the time, were
sleeping on the floor, knocked two
panes of glass out of the window,
where, they say, it "went out," doing
no further damage. The other end
of the house was vacant, and the
stroke, it seems, divided at the chim
ney, striking the roof at the comb,
tearing of! a course of shingles and
going down on the inside tore a con
siderable amount of weatherboarding
and ceiling from the wall. About
twelve months ago the first house
below it was struck, receiving slight
i damage.
Twenty-five or thirty barrels of lime
and cement were at the boiler house
exposed to the weather, aud getting

It is not of Reese and Luckey, how
ever, that this story is written, but of
the woman Id the case—the main
cause of the trouble that fateful night
on the streets of Blacksburg.
There came to Blacksburg about
the time of Reese and Lackey’s ap
pearance in that town, a beautiful
woman known as Mrs. Anderson. She
was a sister of Luckey and as a
school girl was considered one of the
prettiest in Atlanta. She married a

of his repeated visits to that town
was none other than Mrs. Anderson.

James Sistare and Verge Snipes,
two white boys, 15 years of age, were
arrested in Charlotte Saturday on a
charge of stealing $110 from the
father of Sistare, who lives nine miles
from Waxhaw and is a farmer. The
money represented years of saving on
the part of Mr. Sistare and his daugh
ter. James Sistare and Verge Snipes
plotted to take the money and go
West. Friday morning they stole the
$110 and went to Waxhaw, where
they purchased two bicycles for
$47.25. They went to Charlotte and
stopped at the Queen City Hotel, re

spent the night in the police station,
expressed no regret over their action.

gave a chattel mortgage. Simpson
next bought a horse from Wadsworth’s
Sous & Company, and in payment
gave a chattel mortgage on the Me-
Manaway horse. Then he bought a
$75 buggy from R. L. White A Sons
and gave a mortgage on the Wads
worth horse. His last business ven
ture was to buy another $75 buggy
from S. S. MoNlnob, giving in pay
ment a mortgage on the Wadsworth

The memory of this beautiful wo
man and her record of scarlet sins
will not soon be forgotten in the
towns and cities that she made her
abiding places. It is useless to add
that her grave, In the little cemetery

unmarked, for there was nothing
good in bdr life, certainly nothing to
warrant the erection of a shaft to
perpetuate her name.
Commenting on tbe above story
the Rock Hill Herald says:
"We do not know where the Char
lotte News got tbe story of tbe death
in Honduras of Mrs. Anderson, the
beautiful but wayward woman who
figured so conspicously in tbe trial
of M. R. Reese and Ed Luckey for the
murder of Charles Williams at Blacks
burg several years ago. Mrs. Ander
son was reported to have died in Geor
gia two years ago, when she is said to
have made a dying statement that it
was herself and not Retse toat killed
Williams. The story of her death was
not believed and unless tbe News has
ascertained by investigation that its
story is reliable, we must accept it as
more sensational than truthful."
Kinpha»lzes Ita Superiority.
The best test of an article is the
way it sells. Bransford Mills, at
Owensboro, Ky., where "Clifton"
flour is made, run night and day,
and yet they cannot supply tbe de
mand for "Clifton." In this city, as
elsewhere, It ie the standard by which
other flours are guaged, and tbe
statement that "It is just as good as
Clifton" only makes Its superiority
the more pronounced.
