In the Court of Common Pleas in
Laurens the jury rendered a verdict
of $2 000 in favor of 8. G. McDaniel
against the C & W C. Ry. Co. The
suit was for $10,000 damage alleged
to have been sustained in the wreck
ing of a crank car at Fountain Inn
while McDaniel was in the employ of
the company.
The biiler and shaving room at the
plant of the Carolina Lumber and
Manufacturing company in Chester
field county was destroyed Friday af
terooon. By heroic effort on the part
of the employes the fire was confined
to that part of the plant alone. The
loss will be about $1,000, and is
covered by insurance. This will
cause a shut down for a week or ten
days.
As the result of an inquest held
Friday by Coroner Black over the
dead body of Ansel Arnold, who was
found dead in the woods near bis
home in Greenville, Thursday night,
the jury returned the following ver
dict: “The deceased, Ansel Arnold,
came to his death as the result of a
gun shot wound inflicted by Perry
Butler, with John Carter, Jesse Har
rison and others as accessories there
to.”
In the Supreme Court in Colum
bia the appeal of Adams, a white
man of Colleton county, was argued.
Adams killed another white man and
was sentenced to be hanged but the
sentence wut stayed by an appeal.
The case poseseed unusual interest
from the fact that a white man has
been sentenced to death >u this
State, something that has not hap
pened in South Jarolinu for many a
year.
The case of M. M. Turner, who was
committed to jail in Yorkviile some
time ago because of an attempt to
wreck a southbound train at Catawba
river, has at last been settled so far
as that county is concerned. After
the commitment of Turner it develop
ed that he was of unsound mind, and
also that be was from another state.
The authorities could do nothing
with him but send him back to North
Carolina.
On Thursday almost the entire
real estate of the late Col. John L.
Young was sold at auction, in order
that a proper division might be
made between the children, this be
ing considered by the administrators
as the best and most convenient way
to settle the estate. Indeed it proved
a most excellent way for they realized
something like $35,000 out of the
sale. This is probably the biggest
estate ever put upon the block there
and on account of its location it
brought a good price.
An investigation into the books of
J. B. Long, deceased, late treasurer of
Horry county, reveals the fact that
there is a shortage of $4,143.73. This
is divided as follows: State tax
$789.56; county, $1,510 22: special,
$453 68. and school, $1 390.25. The
bond of tbe treasurer is good for the
amount and action will be instituted
on it to recover. No explanation is
given as to how tbe shortage oc
curred, though Mr. Long is claimed
to have believed at his death that the
office had been roboed, and this may
account for it.
Mr. Frank Stewart, a young man
who was raised a few miles south of
Yorkviile, and who has been at
Huntsville, Ala , for some time past
was killed in a barroom in that town
Saturday night. From such informa
tion as can be gathered, Mr. Stewart
was the innocent victim of a crazy
drunkard. The drunkard came into
the bar and began firing his pistol at
everybody in sight. A bullet struck
Mr. Stewart in the heart and killed
bim instantly. The crazy man was
shot by the barkeeper and was taken
to tbe hospital seriously wounded.
Tbe body of Mr. Stewart was brought
home and entered in the Yorkviile
cemetery on Wednesday.
Application was made Saturday to
Gov. Heyward for the pardon of Ja*

Holmes, July and Willie Cuyler. all

er and sentenced to two years on tbe
county ebuingang. The crime of
which tbe boys were convicted cc-
ourred about a year ago. At a small
station on the Plant System in 0(4
leton oouty they were part of a crowd
which engaged in a scuffle, in which
a boy named Beach was struck in the
head with an iron bolt, receiving in
juries from which he died a few days
later Owing to the darkness at the
time ot the crime, and other facts,
the application states that the jury
convicted all of the defendants, not
knowing which had done the deed.

western part of the state. The church
extended a unamimous call to Rev.

has been accepted, and Mr. Ezell will j

We have had considerable cold
weather; the river has been iced in
eddy places. Pretty cool weather for
the season, yet not enough to make it
unpleasant.
A good many new houses are being
built for the accommodation of the
hands that are expected to run tbe
new mill now under constru)tion.
Mr. G. A. Biggers, second ma
chinist, left yesterday evening for
Gaffney where he has secured employ
ment in the machine shop in one of
the mills there. We take pleasure in
commending him as a man worthy of
your confidence and one who under
stands his business and strictly fol
lows it. VVe understand that his
family will join him in a few days.
Although game is scarce, some of
our young men love to don their
hunting clothes, take their guns and
go out and shoot. ‘While writing tne
above two young nimrods gave chase
to a kildee. Several shots were fired
but it escaped to an island and the
crowd dispersed, having failed to
capture any meat.
Fire wood now commands a fancy
price, and is not very plentiful at
that. The farmers in the surround
ing country have been successful in
raising good crops of cotton and se- |
curing a fine price for it, therefore
they are not anxious to haul wood.
Come to think about it. they do not
get much for their trouble, anyway,
yet it is a great deal to give.
There is not much sickness here at
this time. Only a few chronic cases

Death of Thoiua* McGill
Mr. Thomas McGill, one of the old
est and most highly respected citizens
of Cherokee county, died at his resi
dence on King’s Creek on Nov. 29:h
of heart and nerve failure caused by a
fall at his fireside. Mr. McGill was
born on Crowder’s Creek in York
county, South Carolina, on June 24th,
1818, and moved to King’s Creek in
1882, where be (pent the remainder of
bis long and useful life on bis farm.
When he died he was 90 years, five
months and five days old. His re
mains were buried at Smyrna church
in the presence of a large gathering
of friends and relatives.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by his pastor, Rev. J. L. Oats.
Protracted Meeting at Mount Paran.
An interesting and profitable pro
tracted meeting was conducted at
Mount Paran church last week by
tbe pastor, Rev. Mr Bostic, assisted
by Rev. Mr. Newton, of Brevard, N
C The meeting was well attended
and much interest was manifested at
tbe first services and continued
throughout the entire week. Messrs.
Bostic and Newton are able and earn
est preachers and their work at Mount
Paran is highly appreciated by the
good people of that good section of
Cherokee county. The meeting
closed with the Sunday services.
Several were added to the member
ship of the church.
Policy Paid.
E K. Belue, tbe local agent of tbe
New York Life Insurance Co., yester
day paid over to Mrs. EmmaC. Cut
ting, widow of tbe late Seymour L
Cutting, check for $2 000,the amount
of insurance Mr. Cutting carried in
that company. Although Mr. Cut
ting carried insurance in a number of
other companies the New York Life
was the first to pay its claim. This
was also tbe second policy written by
Mr. Belue in Gaffney, me fir *■ b* ing
that of tbe late Robi. Rountree both
being written the same day.
How We Catch a Cold.
A cold is sometimes contracted
while remaining inactive for a while
in an uncomfortable room or a cold
draft and by falling to sleep under
like conditions. But most colds are
caught while sleeping too cold at
night. Deep sleep causes aluggish
circulation which renders the system
(usceptibie to change of temperature.
To prevent colda, sleep under plenty
of cover. To cure colds use Rydaies
Elixir, it lessens tbe severity and
shortens tbe duration of a cold and
prevents Pneumonia, Bronchitis and
Consumption. Gaffney Drug Co.

Etta Jane, Dec. 5.—Those people
who are always looking for sharp
sayings should consult “Don Quix-
jte’s” proverbs. They are worth re
membering.
We have heard some complaint of
cotton being stolen from the field
after it was pick- d out.
Mr. William Moore, the deaf mute
who passes through tbisection some
times, has rot oeen heard from in
more than two years. He tells us Of
something he sees in The Ledger
when he is away in other parts of the
country. If he sees this we hope he
will write us a letter and we will pub
lish it.
Cotton went up Thursday at Hick
ory Grove to 12^ cents per pound.
Hickory Grove has been a good mar
ket most o( this season—much hitler,
it seems, than GufTuey or other neigh
bor markets.
Several of our neighbors have been
killing wild oucks in ibickety creek
lately.
Next year will be leap year, and as
the girls have been deprived of their

The Ledger upon tbe endorsement its-

Those who intend sowing wheat are,
most of them, through, and the work
has been done generally with plenty
of fertilizer under it.
Mis' Ora, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
C F. Inman, is, we are sorry to say,
very sick.
Prof T. J. Moore is teaching the

Simville s gorgeous revival of Shak
espeare’s most moving play of love
and passion, “Romeo and Juliet,”
will bo given in its entirety at the
8tar Theatre on next Thursday
night
One of tbe most brilliant minds of
modern times has spoken us follows |
of tbe immortal hard, J*>hak( speare :
‘ There wa* nothing withir the range !
n n j
of human thought, within the horizon 1
of intellictua effort, that he did not
touch. He knew the brain and heart
of man, the theories, customs, super
stitions, hopes, fears, hatreds, vices i
and virtues of the human race ” !
Shakespeare was an intellectual prod- i
igy of the first class. He lived in j
times hardly bare of.tne skirts of feud
alism, with all the ignorance that t hat ;
implies, yet he knew, us if by intui
lion, science, languages, law, midi- |
cine, heraldry, war tare, and state
craft. Ho employs a vocahularv of
fifteen thousand woius, lime times j
more than the ordinary writer, and ’
he always uses the the right word in i
the right place. He has been fori
three hundred years the greatest ,
master of the Englibii language. IPs
plays have a practici! woik a-day in- i
terest for us. They form an eucyoio
pedia of human liiv—all that lies
hidden in the human heart His
most popular plav is undeuiabl)
Romeo and Juliet. Ihe Srnvelie
production will be magnificently
staged and costumed and an a ting
company of great merit will be en
trusted with the various fumed roles.

Saturday announced tbe death of
Mr. John R. Morris, at the University

In a few years they moved the
church on the opposite side of the
road to a more elevated place The
Methodists preached there often and
a- they grew stronger Mr. Chess Mc
Kinney proposed to give them land to
build a church on. They built a half
mile from Unity, anc named the
church Mount Vernon. It is a nice
frame building. The Baptists, intend
ing to not be outdone, sold their old
log church to Mr Billy McKuv.u,and
he moved it home, one mile away,
and converted it into a barn and
stabies. The Bap f ist, then erected a
frame church that still stands there,
with over one hundred members.
The first preacher I remember
preaching at Unity was Rev. Jack
Kendrick from Union; the rm-it one
was Rev. John Ezell, of Spartanburg
county. He supplied the church for
one year Then came Rev. Wattie
Moorebead. of Union; and he was
followed by Rev. John Tolieson, of
Union. After him was Rev Tbos.

Seeing tbe remains of the old log
church the other day, with its old
logs tumbled down, rotten and de
cayed a flood of fond memories and
nleasant associations swept over my
mind, and under the inspiration ol
the moment I wrote the following
lines:
Ah, here’s the church that used to stand
Amid the forest tfrem;
But where’s the crowd that worshipped there
That we older ones have seen?
The preacher with his pallid face,
And meek and tC irful eye,
Who tauaht that we were saved by grace-1
’Twas faith that brought u-, nigh.
The farmers then in iiomespun clad,
Looked on with honest brow:
And asked the crowd iodine with them—
IlWhere are the farmers now?
The mothers fanned with turkey wings,
Perhaps some friend had given;
And sang and urayed. and prayed again,
□ That we might go to heaven.
