The deet hunting season opened up
in Georgetown county on Tuesday
the first of September, and hunting
parties wen organized and had great
sport in every locality throughout
the county. On Waccamaw Neck the
Nesbits ^tud Lachie.ot.tes and their
friends with a fine, large pack of
hounds, jumped the fleet-footed deni
zens of the foiest glades in herds, and
almost every loan in the party got a
shot.
The harvesting of the rice crop
will probably become general this
week or next. The first planter to
cut has been Co Ralph Nesbit of
Georgetown, who had the reapers in
the fields of Caledonia plantation
Saturday. The heavy rain Sunday
night did considerable damage to
what was down. The birds are com
ing fast, and the sooner the planters
get the rice out of the fields the
larger the yield will bo.
Policeman McFadden, of Rock Hill,
captured Roddoy Thompson and Bob
Thompson, both colored, from Ebe-
nezer tiwnship, Thursday oight, who
had been spotted by the conductor as
blind tigers and were in poseseion of
a five-g-illon Keg of liquor that was
intended for R)ck Hill. They had
•already thrown one keg off the train
at the street car bridge and that too
was captured. Both were committed
to the guard bouse for trial before
the mayor.
In the case of the state against
Will Williams, charged with rape,

magistrate’s court at Hodges, near
Cokesbury, on Wednesday. The de-

Mag.ill, Esq. The evidence being suf
ficient the prisoner was committed to
jail. This was a case where an old
woman 77 years old, was criminally
assaulted hy a boy of 15 years. In
this case the defendant was commit

The governor Saturday increased
from $50 to $100 the reward offered
for the apprehension of John Sally,
a negro. Last December Sally com
mitted a brutal assalt upon the town
marshall of Woodford, Orangeburg
county. No reward was offered at
the time, as Gov. McSweeney’s con
tingent fund was exhausted, but the
citizens took up the matter again
with Gov. Heyward in April and a re
ward of $50 was offered. Friday
the governor received a petition from
citizens at Woodford asking that the
reward be increased. The negro is in
another State and constantly boast
ing that he will not submit to arrest
for his crime, and sends word back to
Woodford to that effect.
There is a little band of socialists
in Columbia, who say that the day is
not far distant when they will or
ganize not only in that city but
throughout the state and put out a
ticket. The little collection of kin

ganized into a club, being fearful as
yet that such an act might injuriously
affect their positions or business
Interest, but what they lack in num
erical strength they make in en

very intelligent men, who carry
tracts about with them and talk
about the spirit of the socialist move

With them. They meet informally oc

Meredith Gregory, a young 17-year
old white man who lived with his
father at 310 Brawley street, in Bpar-
tanburg, was run over by a Southern
Railway eogiojeat Spartanburg Junc
tion at about 4 o’clock Thursday
moroing and was horribly mangled
and instantly killed. It is nob konwn
why Mr. Gregory was lying across
the track but it is believed that he
lay dowo on there and went to sleep
unconscious of the danger. The ac
cident occurred ou the Y, and was
done by engine No. 197 of the Savan
nah division, that had taken a light
train to the junction and was using
th#Y in order to get turned around
for the return trip. Engineer An
thony was in charge of the engine.
' It was dark and the Y being away
from all crossings and where there is
but little travel It was moving rapidly.
The engineer saw the form on the
track too late to bring the locomotive
to a standstill, until the body had
been passed completely over and
literally cut to pieces.
GAFFNEY’S SCHOOLS.
Ora (ted Schoulx Opeued Yesterday with
Large Attendance.
The Gaffney Graded schools opened
for the 1903 4 session yesterday morn-
sng at nine o’clock. For some time
before the appointed hour the cam
pus of the school presented an an
imated ^scene. Hundreds of bright
faced boys and girls, glad in the an
ticipation of the new school year,
gathered to await “taps” in order to
begin their education or advance it.
Superintendent R. O. Sams was
about early getting things in shape,
in fact giving them a final touch, for
be has been at work for a week or
more getting the place presentable.
The obliging janitor, Solomon Scott,
went about with a face wreathed in
smiles, ready and willing to do what
ever he was bidden to do that would
add to the comfort and happiness of
the scholars.
The school this year commences
with many new faces among both
pupils and teachers. The total en
rollment for the first day was G36.
The following is the division of
grides;
School No 1.—Grade 1, Miss Kath
erine M. Richardson, of Sumter,
teacher, 38 scholars; grade 2, Miss
M. Bessie Kendrick, of Gaffney,
teacher, 52’scholars; grade 3, Miss
Grace S. Willis,of Greenville, teachtr,
43 scholars ; grade 4, Miss Ada Crock
er, of Gaffney, teacher, 54 scholars;
grade 5, Miss Ida W. Todd, of
Laurens, teache, 52 scholares; grade
G, Miss Carrie O. Sams, of Gaffney,
teacher, 30 scholars; grade 7, Miss
S. Katherine Henderson, of Darling
ton, teacher.$36 scho'ars; grades 8
and 9, Prof. George C. Hodges, Jr-.,
of Greenwood, teacher, 24 and 10
scholars respectively.
Prof. Hodges is also principal of
the school.
School No. 2—Prof. F. E. Shuford
and Mrs. F. E. Shuford, of Gaffney,
teachers, 116 scholars.
School No. 3 (colored)—Rev. R. C.
Campbell, of Gaffney, Miss Josie B.
Farit, of Union, and and Miss Lizzie
A. Orr, of Lowrysville, teachers,
143 scholars.
School No. 4—Mrs QG. P. Hamisck,
of Gaffney, teacher, 42 scholars.
Total—G3G.
The attendance this year on the
opening day was about 1U0 more than
it was during the session last year,
and Prof. Sams says he expects at
least 100 more scholars. Such a
school as this would be absolutely
impossible under the old method.
Surely the graded school is a great
thing and it should be encouraged
and fostered and the trustees and
teachers should have the moral sup
port of the people of the community.

Flour Higher.
The late government report makes
the wheat crop thirty-five million
bushels less tnan last year. This
means very much higher flour until
another harvest in 1904. All flour is
higher now, but the advance on
Bransford’s “Clifton” has not yet
been as great In proportion to other
flour. However, it is a mighty good
time to boy a aupply before It goes
still higher. Fresh flour constantly
eoelved. W. J. Wilkins & Oo.
A TERRIBLE WRECK
NEAR YORKVILLE
Trestle Goes Down with Pas
senger Train
FIVE PEOPLE KILLED.
The Railroad Bridge Over Fishing Creek on
the 8. C. & O. E. Division of the Southern
Fell in Thursday Morning Carrying a Pas
senger Train with It.
The following special from York-
ville to tbe Gastonia Gazette gives in
detail an account of the Fishing Creek
disaster last Thursday morning:
Yorkytlle, S. C.. Sept.8—Train
No. 15 on the Southern Railroad went
through Fishing Creek trestle three
miles east of here at 11:30 o’clock
this morning and was reduced to
scrap iron and kindling wood in the
bed of the creek 50 feet below. The
following were instantly killed:
Henry Beckmac, engineer.
Fred Rhyne, fireman.
C. J. Smith, negro mail agent.
Three unknown negro passengers.
INJURED.
Ed. Turner, conductor, shoulder
broken.
W. T. Slaughter, Hickory Grove,
S. C. ,and Julian Johnson,of Rock Hill,
were fatally hurt. Three negro pas
sengers will probably die.
Marvin H. Morrow, of Blacksburg,
T. C. Hicks, of Lancaster, and R. A.
Willis, of Edgemoore, have broken
bones.
A dozen others are more or less
seriously injured.
Mrs. J. C. Boyd, of Pressly, N. C.,
escaped with a few scratches.
B. F. Williford,of Charlotte, was
slightly bruised but not badly hurt.
Of half a dozen young men equally
lucky he was the only one to try to
assist the ladies and injured men.
He told the terrified passengers in
the first-class coach that the danger
was over and that he was there to see
them to safety. He helped several
young men out of the wreck and tried
to get them to help him with others,
but they selfishly went off and left
him to struggle alone until help
came from the outside.
Yorkville people went down in
buggies and worked for hours ex
tricating the dead and injured from
the wreck and affording ail possible
relief.
Tbe rotten timbers of the ancient
trestle tell their own unquestionable
story as to the cause of tbe wreck.
A relief train carried a number of
the injured to Rock Hill. To tbe
Charlotte Chronicle a dispatch was
sent giving the following list of
wounded:
Julian Johnson, son of J. B. John
son, >f Rock Hi!!, who was en route
to Clemson College to school, serious
ly injured, will probably die: Ver-
non Hail, of Rock Hill, also
a Clemson student, hip dislocat
ed; Harry W. Wiley, of Rock Hill,
Clemson student, and a nephew of
Dr. W. Gill Wiley, leg broken; Prof.
W. T. Slaughter, of Hickory Grove,
S. C., State agent of Woodmen of the
World, seriously injured.
Wm. Beard, Fraak Burriss, and
Alex Hoey, are among thote thought
to be fatally hurt.
D. F. Dukes, baggage master, of
Blacksburg, has a painfully injured
leg.
Oo last evening’s train Messrs. C.
A. Johnson, T. N. Kendrick, J. A.
Poag, T. M. Fayssoux, F, W. Braw
ley, Moot Brown, Ernest Williams,
Will Adams and Dr. Frank Wilson
went to the scene of tbe wreck. All
but Mr. Johnson returned at mid
night.
When they arrived at the scence of
the wreck about seven o’clock, tbe
rescuing force was still at work. By
means of a cable and another locomo
tive, the wrecked boiler was dragged
off of the dead fireman and engineer.
Both were mutilated horribly. From
the mouth of the dead engineer and
from boles In his crushed body smoke
was escaping from the hot water
which had scalded the bodies inside
and out. Both the engineer and tbe
fireman were burned by tbe fire and
by tbe steam.
It was thought that under the de-
bris.there were five or six others. The
second-class coach was crushed flat
and it was not known how many pas
sengers it contained
Mr. Julius Johnson is a kinsman of
Mr. J. Flem Johnsoo, of Gastonia,
who is a first cousin of tbe wounded
man’s father. The young man was
not dead at ten o’clock last night, at
which time it was reported over the
phone by Mr. Clarence Johnson that
he had a fighting chance for life. His
skull is crushed
Mr. T. C. Hicks Is a well-known
traveling man, representing a grocery
firm in Richmond. His leg is broken
and be is otherwise injured. It is
said that he was in tbe second-class
car, from which his escape seems a
miracle.
The negro mall clerk was a sub
stitute, having taken the ran yester
day for the white clerk, who for some
reason was laid off.
Fred Rhyne is the same fireman
who went down with Engineer Met
calf a year or two ago through Buffa
lo trestle beyond Blacksburg. The
dead body of Metcalf was swept down
stream for two or three miles by the
freshet; Rhyne narrowly escaped
drowning.
KILLED BY A TRAIN.
Charlie Driscoll Struck by the Vestibule
while Crossing the Track.
Probably the most horrible acci
dent that has ever happened within
the confines of our thriving little
city, occurred Sunday night at the
Southern depot. It is the old, old
story of a man attempting to cross
the railroad in front of a moving
train and losing his life in the at
tempt.
About 8 o’clock Sunday night
Charlie Driscoll, a son of Mr. James
Driscoll, who lives near this city,
was .on his way home, in company
with some other boys, from preach
ing in the Wesleyan Hall, on Gre-
nard street. When he reached the
railroad opposite the passenger depot
the northbound vestibule, which was
two hours late, was just coming in to
the station, and, as that train does
not stop at this place, it was nat
urally going at a little livelier gait
than those that do stop. Just as it
came near the colored waiting-room
young Driscoll started across tbe
track, some said about twenty feet
in front of the engine; but he never
reached the opposite side alive. He
was struck by the iron monster and
carried probably thirty or forty feet,
and when the body became disentan
gled from the wheels it was mangled
almost beyond semblance to a human
being. One leg was cut off below the
knee; one hand mashed off; skull
crushed and face and body cut and
bruised considerably. It was an aw
ful sight, and one that should be a
warning to everybody to not attempt
to cross a railroad track when a
moving train is near, even though it
be some distance away.
The speed of a train is deceiving to
one standing in front of it, and, be
sides, one never knows when he may
strike his foot against something and
fall on the track. The better way is
to wait until the train passes—this
would only require a quarter of a
minute of time, and no one is so
“pushed for time” that he caunot
wait that long.
The remains of Driscoll were placed
in charge of Messrs. Shuford and
LeMaster, undertakers, and prepared
for burial, and yesterday afternoon
the body was taken so Draytonville
and laid to rest near the family home.
Charlie Driscoll was about eigh
teen years of age, and was a nephew
of Mr. William Driscoll, who was
killed while at vtark in a well in this
city a year or more ago—a bucket of
mud becoming detached from the
rope and falling on him.
There was some talk of holding an
inquest over, the body, and Coroner
Vinesett came down yesterday morn
ing for that purpose, but after a talk
with the young man’s father, and as
there were several witnesses to the
accident, an inquest was not deemed
necessary.
The accident occurred at almost
the same spot where Robert Kiser
was struck and badly cut up by a
train last year, and not far from the
same hour.
A Veterttu Mule.
The following «s ac extract from an
article written to the Woodruff News
and Review from Ferguson’s Mineral
Spring, in Spartanburg county :
“We are sorry to chronicle the
death of Old Kit which occurred last
Friday night. This old mule was 54
years old and served in the quarter
master’s department of tbe 3d S. C.
Regiment during the war between the
States, which made her a heroine and
a Confederate Veteran, and ought she
to have been pensioned. She died in
tbe possessiou of Capt. after a bard
summer’s work. Old Kit was better
than a farm bell and always on time
She would tell you exactly when 12
o’clock came and would boiler you up
an hour before day every morning
without fail. Her past life and record
are more honorable than those of
hundreds of men and women that 1
could put my fingers on. Mr. Editor,
if there is a resting place for old
mules, and I believe there is in the
Great Beyond, Old Kit is an Arch-
Angel today. Capt.”
The Coinage During August.

mint for the mouth of August shows
that there was a total coining of 11,-
621,000 pieces, amounting to $1,114,-

of his wife, who has for some time

78, an East-bound freight. Baggage-
master Jones had one of bis hands
badly broken and Engineer W. S.
Taylor was slightly injured. One
passenger, a woman, whose name
could not be learned, had two teeth
knocked out. Twenty head of sheep
in a cattle car attached to the freight

Usually, the West-bound train does
not stop at this station atd tbe sup

AUGUST RECEIPTS.
■ • W I I r-llYI I hsrt V I W a
Died Saturday Morning |at HU Home on
West Frederick Street.
“Champ” Davis is dead. After au
illness of over two weeks and many
days of suffering he breathed his last
about 3 o’clock Saturday morning at
bis home on West Frederick street,
surrounded by a lovin,, wife who bad
watched and tended him unceasingly
and a number of sympathizing rela
tives and friends, who, also, bid been
unceasing in their attentions to the
sick man. It is needless to say that
everything was done that could be
devised to stay the course of the dread
disease. Two and three physicians
were in almost constant attendance
at the bedside and a trained nurse
from a Columbia hospital was with
the sufferer during the last days of
his ilineES and exhausted her re
sources in her fight against the Grim
Destroyer, but all to no avail—the
spirit of Champ Davis was plumed
for its flight to the land of eternal
day, and no earthly pjwer could con
iine its wings.
P. Champ Davis was about forty-
five years of age—just in the prime
of a useful life. He was born and
reared in Cleveland county, North
Carolina, and for several years during
his young manhood was engaged iu
the drug business at Shelby and
Mooresboro, N. C. About twelve
y irs ago he came to Gaffney and
opened a drug store, with a co-part
ner, on Grenard street, about where
Mr. I. M. Peeler’s store now is. Mr.
Davis was a splendid carpenter, and
after going out of the drug business
here he followed this avocation nearly
up to the time of his death. He was
for a long time foreman and time
keeper tor Contractor L. Baker, of
this city, and he was ever vigilant
and painstaking in the service he
rendered his employer, and Mr. Baker
found him a valuable man. He was
held in high regard by his brother
workmen and admired by all who
knew him for his manliness, integrity
and generosity in his dealings with
his fellow-man. After resiunirg his
position with Mr. Baker h* * n cted a
storehouse near his home nu West
Frederick street and went to mer
chandising, which business he was
engaged it at the time of his death.
Mr. Davis was twice married. His
first wife was Miss Maggie Scruggs,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chester
field Scruggs, now deceased, of this
city. Four children blessed this
union, but in tbe course of time three
of them were taken from him by death
and his wife, too, followed them after
ten years of wedded happiness.
About a year ago he married Miss
Lizzie Scruggs, a sister of his first
wife, and she, and one child of his
former union, are left to mourn the
loss of a kind and indulgent husband
and father.
The remains of Mr. Davis were in
terred in Oakland cemetery Sunday
morning in the presence of a large
gathering of sorrowing relatives and
sympathizing friends. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev. J.
M. Steadman, pastor of the Buford
Street Methcdist church. The pall
bearers were: D. E. Lemmons, B. N.
Lemmons, J. W. Roundtree, Thomas
Alexander, H. E. Hansen and P.
Epps.
Mr Davis was a prominent and
useful man and his demise is a dis
tinct loss to the good citizenship of
Gaffney. The Ledger joins in sym
pathy for the ones who are bowed
down in grief.

Pa, always used 11; Devoe took 6
Mr Burt Young, Girard, Pa, al
ways used a gallon for a certain
room ; took half as much Devoe.
Mr. Nathaniel Barber, Cautou, N
Y. bought 12 Devoe; used less than 6.
You can always bay paint for less
than Devoe; don’t; save your money.
The wearing counts tbe ssme way
and doubles tbe difference.
Tbe cost of painting la by the gal
lon. Weak paint costs most; most
gallons.
Yours truly
