Judge Pope has issued orders stop ping the dispensaries at Scranton and Lake City, in Florence county, until the final hearing of the cases. In a collision between freight trains on the Seaboard Air Line rail road, near Athens, Ga., Engineer Gus Cox, of Abbeville, was killed. An engine and sevaral cars were demol ished. Miss Susie Scofield, of the Clifford Female Seminary, of Union, while fastening her skirt pricked her left thumb with a pin, which has caused blood poisoning and she is now in a serious condition, though some bet ter than at first account. Governor Heyward Saturday par doned Charles Rapp, of Laurens, who was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary for murder. It was agreed v*hen Rapp was sentenced that at the end of three years the judge and solicitor would recommend a pardon, which was done. W. T. Martin, vice-president of the Bank of Columbia, and one of the largest wholesale grocers in that city, died at 1:30 o’clock Saturday after noon of pneumonia after an illness of only a few days. Mr. Martin was CO years old. He was born in Ches-. terfield county, Va., going to Colum bia about 32 years ago. In the court in Charleston a verdict of guilty of aggravated as sault with recommendation of mercy was brought in the Welter’s suit against Constables Bateman, Guide- on, May and Grady, and a verdict of not guilty against Hoy. The case was given to the jury shortly after 2 o’clock and two hours later the verdict was brought in. ' Sen tence was suspended pending motion for a new trial. Coroner Green, of Columbia. Fri day night dug up the dead body of a child which had been buried in a lot on Assembly street in that city. The fact that a white child about three days old had been buried just back of 821 Assembly street was re ported to Health Officer Carder and Mr. Carder reported the matter *o Coroner Green, who investigated matters and dug up the body. A search will be made for the guilty parties and they will be summarily dealt with if caught. Ernest Brady, the three year old son of N. H. Brady, of Fair Forest, was burned to death Thursday after noon. Ernest and another older brother were playing around the fire In the bed room, while Mrs. Brady was preparing the kitchen. The mother was attracted by the screams of the child, and rushing into the room she discovered the flames had already burned up half of the little fellow's dress, and its older brother was endeavoring to extinguish them with his hands. Medical aid was im mediately summoned hut the little fellow died at 1 o’clock that night. The depot at East Spartanburg, along with two box cars, containing 129 hales of cotton, was totally de stroyed by fire Saturday morning. Agent Yates, of East Spartanburg station, was not at the depot at the time of the fire, having gone to the city. In the building he had stored away about $300 or $400 worth of personal property and household ef fects, which had Just been shipped therfc He was preparing to keep house and move his family to that place. The loss is a heavy one to him. One of the box cars destroyed contained 89 hales of cotton and the other 40. The origin of the fire is not known. Wednesday afternoon, at about 7 o’clock, an accident occurred on the Union and Glen Springs railroad, near Union, that resulted in the death of Sallie Bookout, a mill oper ative, and the slight injury of Sey mour Gallman, her companion. The Coroner’s Jury rendered a verdict ex onerating the railroad company from all blame and declaring the woman was, by her negligent use of the tres tle, the cause of her own death. Her maiden name was Sallie Sprause arid she is said to have come from White Plains, in Spartanburg county. She had separated from her husband, and report has it that she worked last at Cowpens. The men in charge declare they were sounding the whistle all the time, hut Gallman says he did not hear it and that he knew nothing of the car’s approach until it was on the trestle. The peace of Lake City was great- ly disturbed Wed lesday afternoon as a result of the shooting about 2 i o’clock of Thurston O. McGee, the I proprietor of a livery stable there, by a negro, who gives his name as ' Karo Williams. The circumstances cannot be stated surrounding the killing which resulted from the dis satisfaction of the negro with a trade he had made wdth McGee over a month ago. The negro fired two shots, both of which took effect, one in the stomach and the other in the right breast, from a 32-callhre pistol while with McGee in his stable and immediately ran out and down the street, all the time holding the pistol out, as if to fire again, as he passed a dozen or more men. Several imme diately gave chase, some five or six on horseback, and he was overtaken and gave up about a half-mile from : Lake City. With some difficulty In- ; tendant Askins succeeded in obtain ing control of the prisoner, as excite ment was very high and for a while a lynching seemed almost inevita- ! hie. Two men dead and the serious, though not fatal, injury of another is the result of a catastrophe that oc curred on the Edgefield branch of the Southern, half a mile from Trenton Wednesday night. The dead are: Will Couch and John Sanders, col ored, employees of the Southern rail way. Capt. S. M. Rice, conductor in charge of the train, was cut in the head in several places. A sidetrack had recently been put in at the scene of the accident , upon which stood a number of box cars and flats loaded with rock. A switch left open caused the passenger train from Edgefield to Trenton to leave the main track and enter the siding, crashing into the standing cars with such force as to drive the tender of the engine half through the baggage car, just in its rear. The coach was caught be tween the two and crushed to pieces. The negro killed was in one of the box cars on the siding. The engineer and fireman escaped injury and probably death by jumping from the engine. Capt. Rice was standing in the baggage car and his escape from death was miraculous. JAIL INSTEAD OF EUROPE. Strauss Gets a Ten-Day Sentence for Counterfeiting Whiskey Labels. New'York, Feb. 24. —William L. Strauss and William L. Haas, mem bers of the firm of William L. Strauss & Co., importers, of 23 Murray street, were each fined $500 and sentenced to ten days’ imprisonment in the Court of Special Sessions yesterday for counterfeiting the label of a brand of whiskey. Strauss lives at 155 West 123d street and Haas at 252 West 128th street. The evidence against them was ob tained by William Strause, of 395 Bedford avenue, Brooklyn, an agent of the Wine and Spirits Trade So ciety. Strauss and Haas created a scene when they were found guilty. “I am a business man,’’ said Strauss. “It would he a terrible thing to send me to jail.” “You should have thought of that before," remarked Presiding Justice Olmsted. “But I have arranged to start on a trip to Europe on Thursday,” put In Strauss. “I have already bought the tickets. This jail sentence will pre vent my going." “We cannot take your convenience into consideration,” said Justice Olm sted, Strauss and Haas were then led to the Tombs to begin their senten ces. We offer $1,000 reward for the de tection and conviction of any one caught printing, lithographing or of fering bogus Duffy Malt Whiskey la bels, or for the detection and convic tion of any dealer who offers this bo gus whiskey put up in the Duffy Malt Whiskey bottles with the bogus la bels on same, representing it to be Duffy’s Malt Whiskey.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest. Correspondence of Tne Ledger.* Etta Jane, Feb. 27.—Last night Prof. Comer and his musical cohorts gave us some delightful music. This they do at least once a week. Mod esty forbids our giving a full expres sion of our views on the merit of the music, but we venture they cannot be beaten by any class with the same opportunities. Mr. Leslie Wright has bought a guitar and will join the band. Mrs. Sallie B. Ingram has a good school. The timber Is on the ground for the new schoolhouse which will he erected as soon as possible. Miss Belle Smith, teacher of the Hopewell school, came over with Miss Maggie Estes, one of her pu pils, to spend today and tomorrow with her Cherokee friei ds. We regret to say that some of Mr. Beatty Morris’ children are very sick. Mr. Dick Hughes, one of our coun try merchants, w-ent to Gaffney last Thursday on business. There have been some bad roads between here and Wilkinsville, but the roads have been uncommonly good this winter. Since The Ledger has been solicit ing the views of its patrons on the merits of its various departmental makeup we have private letters from which we make extracts. One dear old mother in Israel writing from 'Alabama says: “I see In The Ledger some questions. The first thing I read is , then the Palmetto News, then the Tarheel News. I never forget * to read the sermon. I do love to read it. I read The Ledger because it is from my dear old home. I read It to my afflicted son, who is now unable to read for himself. That ‘Crimson Stain’ in the last paper seemed to bother him. He is so sorry for the dead man.” Another good lady writing from Paris, Texas, makes some very pleasant references to the paper, all of which is a source of gratification to the paper, and espec ially to your correspondent. By the way, we have a new busi ness started in this section. It Is styled “The Joint Dog Stock Co.” We are, as yet, unable to give the names of the officers and stockhold ers. These we may be able to give later on. The capital stock is $12, divided Into shares of $2.40 each. There is smallpox on the York side of the river, so we are told. Mr. and Mrs. Ben Goforth are highly pleased at the arrival of a girl baby at their home one night this w'eek. Dan Walker and Charley Bank- head, colored, took the responsibility to use the county ferry boat at Howell’s ferry one night last week without the consent of the ferry man, for which they paid him two dollars for their fun. It’s right to put a stop to such practice; for no one knows when the boat may be needed in some urgent case and it’s the best chance in the world for the public to lose a vessel. If night marauders are to use the public pro perty without the consent of the proper custodian it’s equally right for them to take out horses and get free rides whenever they feel like It. We are glad to hear from Brother Sam T. Creech, who is getting down to work in his new field at Ander son. His friends will gladly learn of his successful work and we hope he will let us hear from him oftener. The other day the fox hunters caught a fox after it climbed a tree. One of the party—an experienced hunter—thought it had taken refuge in a deserted hornet’s nest, hut not finding it there thought the dogs lied. But Joe Estes climbed th') tree and scared it out and the dogs caught Mrs. Sallie Mitchell, of Hickory Grove, and her daughter, Mrs. Billie Parks, came over to see Miss Mattie Estes one day this week. It seems that our country was never so horrified at the scenes of bloodshed as it now is. As an illus tration. this colloquy actually took place between two of our neighbors. Mrs. Smith said something in the presence of Mrs. Jones about her son having to attend court, when the lat ter replied: “Mrs. Smith, is bo liable to get kifled?" Mr. John Fowler will have a beau tiful house when it Is finished. Th next meeting of the Confeder ate Veterans Association will be held in Nashville, Tenn., this year. The time isn’t set yet. Mrs. J. Rufus Pool is quite unwell with something like cold. Camp Jefferies U. C. V will meet at Wilkinsville at 10 o’clock a. m, Saturday, March 12th, to elect offi cers for the present year, and also a sponsor and maid of honor to rep resent the camp at the forthcoming reunions. Doubtless the names of several of our most beautiful and Intelligent young ladies will be proposed and we want each of them to have a fair and give expression to your senti- and giv expression to your senti ments. Mr. W. T. Osment and Sam Strain went to Hickory Grove today on bus iness. Several of our York county neigh- bors have been buying or exchanging cotton seed for meal and hulls at the Wilkinsville oil mill. Miss Ella, a beautiful and accomp lished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Abe Simth, of Hickory Grove, and Mr. Stephenson, were married one day this week. We wish for them long, happy and prosperous lives. Messrs. Clyde and Claude Inman, who are attending the Massey Busi ness College, will finish their stud ies and return home in about three months. We understand that Mr. J. R. Tol- leson, of Gaffney, has got the mail contract for the Gaffney to Wilkins ville route for the next four years, beginning July 1st, 1904. J. L. S. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. ' <jxt Monday will be salesday. Good congregations attended the services in all churches Sunday. See the election returns on The Ledger’s bulletin board in front of their office. Cherokee farmers appear to be get ting their part of the commercial fer tilizers this year. The secretary of State granted a charter to the Gaffney Drug Com pany last week. The company has a capital of $5,000. The Limestone Guards made their first appearance on the streets Sat urday afternoon. They were In full uniform and had their guns. As the spring time approaches we are beginning to hear of places for many new bu dings to he built in Gaffney this coming summer. The next attraction under the aus pices of the Lyceum association will be Mr. Frank Allen Peake, imperson ator, at the courthouse this (Tuesday) evening. George Camp, colored, was com mitted to jail Friday by Magistrate Geo. D. Scruggs charged with burn ing Lum Watkins’ house last Wed nesday. Watson Is also colored. Yesterday was the last day to pay city taxes without penalty, and City Clerk Ross said yesterday morning that $12,000 was still to be paid, most of which it is likely landed be fore 12 o’clock last night. Miss Maud Thompson closed her school at White Plains last Friday, and returned to her home In the city. This has been a successful session of the Y> hite Plains school and we are glad to hear that Miss Maud has given her patrons entire satisfaction. The weather Is warm and damp, Just enough so to keep the ground a little too wet to plow, but the pros pects are that It will he in good shape in a few days, when Cherokee farmers will rush their plows off with a vim. They are waiting and are getting anxious to begin. There ■was a big crowd In the city Saturday and almost every one here seemed to have plenty of business and was apparently attending to It. All the stores, including the State’s “great moral Institution,” seemed to he doing a good business. We are glad to state that we saw little drunkenness. The municipal election for mayor and six aldermen will ^ake place to day. While each candidate is look ing diligently after his Interests, everything is quiet and at this writ ing apparently little Interest is being taken in it. The Ledger will an nounce the result of the election on its bulletin board In front of its office as fast as the returns come In. Wheat is still small, and of course is not making much show. But while in conversation a few days ago with Mr. J. F. Whlsonant, who Is a suc cessful wheat grower, about wheat, he said, "Wheat is hxdly behind In growth and doesn’t look like It will make much,” but added that the best wheat crops he ever made could hard ly be seen in the field the first of March. C. I. Gresham, proprietor of the Falls House at Gastonia, N. C., has rented the Commercial Hotel in this place and will assume control today. Mr. Gresham will not coiqe to Gaff ney himself, hut will nlace his brother, Mr. F. M. Gresham, of Char lotte, N. C., In charge. Mr. Gresham was in Charlotte the last of the week purchasing furniture for his hotel here. We extend a hearty welcome to Mr. Gresham and wish him suc cess in his venture In our city. The court of general sessions will convene here next Monday, Judge Gary presiding. Four white men are to be tried for murder, Murray and McCombs for killing Smith In man near Mabry’s mill in the lower part of the county, and Isaac W Phillips and James W. Allen for killing George Brown about five miles below the city on the night of the Gth ult. Sheriff Thomas and Deputy Sheriff Charles Austell are busy summoning Jurymen and wit nesses for the term.

THROUGHOUT THE TARHEEL STATE RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE IN NORTH CAROLINA. Items of Interest Concerning Our Neighbors in the Old North State Culled Expressly for Ledger Readers Luther Veazey was killed at the Durham Hosiery Mill, in Durham, Saturday morning shortly after 7 o’clock. Veazey was caught by a shafting, the result of an effort oc the part of his younger brother to save him as he then thought. His skull was crushed and left leg brok en. The deceased iva.5 about 16 years of age. Three thousand persons witnessed the ghastly execution of .label Regis ter in the jail yard at Whiteville at noon Friday. Cool and emotionless, the condemned tnan went to his death without displaying the least indication of fear, while the vast mul titude in that little town marveled at his nerve. There were many women in the crowd and they regarded the execution just as if it was an or dinary happening. United States Marshall Dockery and Capt. V. E. McBee arrived in Newbern Saturday morning, and Mar shall Dockery immediately served the official papers on Superintendent Dili, authorizing him to turn over the affairs of the Atlantic & North Caro lina railroad to Receiver McBee. Capt. McBee at once assumed charge of the road and ordered all agents to make immediate settlement of their affairs under the old adminis tration. There has been considerable trou ble over the adjustment of the fire loss on the Katz building in Greens boro, which was partially destroyed there sometime ago. Messrs. J. C. Morris and W. C. Bain, practical builders, who have been selected to make the adjustment, have agreed to allow' Miss Katz, the own er, the sum of $4,338. The total in surance was $5,500. It was said to be the preferance of the insurance companies to put the building in re pair. Up to the present date over $400,- 000 has been distributed among the heirs of the late H. G. Springs, of Charlotte, by the trustees. Friday afternoon checks for over $200,000 were sent to the heirs, this being the proceeds of the recent sale of stocks and bonds at the county courthouse in Charlotte, at which $214,000 was realized. Several hundred thousand dollars have been distributed among the heirs previous to the above men tioned. Still a very large sum re mains to be distributed . Engineer Geo. Neal and Fireman Robt. Bessent, of Wilmington, w’ere killed Saturday in a wreck of a double-header freight which left Roanoke Saturday morning for Win ston. The train was a double-header and was derailed near Bassett, Va., many of the frelghX cars piling up on top of the engine. The wreckage was still burning Saturday morning, and the bodies of the engineer and fireman had not been rescued. Tne engineer of engine No. 2 is seriously injured, but his fireman is not hurt. The authorities at Milton, Cas well county, are wrestling with a very stubborn case. A week ago Lewis Gee, a white man, was shot in a saloon. The wound p/oved fatal and Gee was buried Friday. The coroner’s jury does not seem to know to whom to attach the blame. A man named Phelps and Gee had Just completed a fisticuff when the shot was fired, but so far the ev idence does not seem to Justify the arrest of Phelps. Both parties are well-known farmers of Caswell county. Through her attorneys, Messrs. Jones & Tillett and T. C. Guthre, of Charlotte, Mrs. Mary N. Winsor, a native of Indiana, has brought suit against the Seaboard Air Line rail way company for $40,000, alleging that this amount is due her because of the death of her husband, who was a conductor on the Seaboard and was killed at Hamlet a few months ago. He was on a car that was be ing pushed up a steep track, on a coal chute. - An abutment gave away, the car was thrown from the chute and Winsor was killed. Saturday there left Durham the longest train of manufactured tobac co ever shipped to one firm probably in the history of the world. The to bacco train left there over the Nor folk & Western road for Chicago, be ing shipped by the W. Duke, Sons A Company branch to Sprauge, Warner A Company. The train contained thirty cars and each one was loaded with Duke’s Mixture smoking tobac co. In the shipment there were 2,800,000 packages of tobacco, enough It is said to give every adult person in America three pipes of tobacco. As to money value the tobacco when sold to the consumer will bring a to tal of $144,000. The third legal hanging in Wades- boro since the war took place there Thursday, February 25tb. Will Bog- gan, the murderer of J. A. Sullivan, was executed at 12:45 that day. Everything was in readiness and the machinery of the gallows worked like clock wc~k. Boggan died in ten minutes after the drop fell. There waa a spasmodic action of the hands and arms Immediately after the body fell. The neck was broken and death ensued instantly. On the scaf fold, in ansjver to Sheriff Boggan’s question if he had anything to say before the end, Boggan made a short speech. He protested his innocence of the crime. He also said that he had made his peace with God and was ready to go. Hamlet was visited by quite a de structive blaze Friday morning. Ow- ing to the fact that the town has no fire department, four buildings were burned before the blaze was gotten under control. The fire burned vt?ry rapidly and all four buildings with their contents are a total loss The following is'a list of the burned out firms with no insurance: A. K. At kinson, saloon and fixtures; loss about $1,000. J. A. Nicholson, col ored, dry goods and groceries; loss about $1,000. Luke Douglass, col ored, meat market and green grocer ies; loss about $200.

Dear Ledger:—I note your request tor all readers of The Ledger to ex press their opinions in regard to the best features of the paper. I have been a subscriber since last October, and I like the papej, first because of its promptness and regularity in coming to its subscribe! s; second, for the series of Talmage’s sermons, and for the general make-up of its * reading matter.

The patrons of the school seem to like him very much. Rev. E. D. Bullock, of Spartanburg county, has been called to the pas- torate of the Second Baptist church of Gaffney (Bethel) to succeed Rev. H. D. Sanders, deceased. Rev. Bul lock recently preached a series of sermons at Bethel which bespoke great things for the future of the church. I thank you for this space in your valuable paper. C. W. Morgan, (col.). Mayor's Court. The mayor had a light docket be fore him yesterday morning, only three cases, two of which were light drunks and one for carrying conceal ed weapons. The drunks were on hand and paid promptly, but Fred Ri- ley, who had defied the police and was arrested and his pistol taken away from him by Officer Moore In spite of Lis defiance, forfeited $25 which he had put up for his appear* ance. From what we can learn, Fred would he a good case to give further attention. Danger in Cold Weather.
