Tom Satterwhite, a negro hack-
man of Greenville, was sentenced to
pay a fine of $50 or serve thirty days
on the chain gang in the city court
In that city Thursday. Satterwhite
was charged with insulting a white
woman and her daughter in the
Southern railway passenger station
in that city some time after midnight
Wednesday.
Yancey Carter, a Greenville negro,
was shot Thursday he alleges by his
sister. The wound is not serious, the
ball having passed through the upper
part of the thigh, missing the large ar
tery and lodging in the opposite side
of the leg. Dr. R. D. Smith was called
and he dressed the wound and ex
tracted the bullet. The negro is
thought to be doing well.
R. Y. Cox, a young mill operative,
was caught in a belt and painfully
injured at the Orr mills in Anderson
Friday. A physician was called to at
tend him and found him unconscious
and bleeding from a cut on his head.
He narrowly escaped a horrible death
from the whirling belts, but, as it is,
his wounds are more painful than se
rious and he will recover.
Mrs. Emma Harrison of Greenville,
died very suddenly at 12 o’clock Fri
day night of heart failure at her resi
dence on Washington street in that
city. She had been at her daughter’s,
next door, only an hour or two be
fore and seemed to be in her usual
health, though It was known that she
had heart trouble in recent years
and her death was not surprising on
that account.
The Blue Ridge passenger train
which left Anderson at 10 o’clock
Saturday morning collided at River
side station with a delivery wagon of
the Toxaway Riverside mill store,
killing the horse and smashing the
wagon into splinters. The driver
had gone into the store for some
goods and the horse strayed across
the track just where It emerges from
a deep cut, which prevented the en
gineer from seeing the danger until
it w;as too late to stop.
A negro was arrested Friday in
Hampton county thought to be the
murderer of the Howell boy, whose
body was found near Epworth sev
eral weeks ago. Firday afternoon a
long distance telephone message was
received from the authorities at
Lima, in Hampton county, stating
that a negro answering the general
description of the man wanted had
been caught. The negro was taken
cil went into an election for city
clerk, and city treasurer. W. H.
Ross was elected clerk and W. F.
Brown was elected treasurer.
It then went into an election for
chief of police, in which T. H. Lock
hart was re-elected, and the following
were elected policemen: H. H.
Lockhart, D. E. Lemmons and Lloyd
Austell. Mr. Lewis Cook was then
elected superintendent of the street
work. The meeting then adjourned.
Mayor Gaffney, Treasurer Brown
and Clerk Ross, ex-officio the board
of public works, have not had a
meeting yet.
We learn that the business of the
city is in good shape, so the new offi
cers will start off with a clean road
before them and we have every reason
to predict that they will manage the
city affairs successfully.
Climatic Cures
The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumption Is very
much overdrawn. The poor patient,
and the rich patient, too, can do much
better at home by proper attention to
food digestion, and a regular use of
German Syrup. Free expectoration
in the morning is made certain by
German syrup, so is a gdod night's
rest and the absence of that
weakening cough and debilitat
ing night sweat. Restless nights
and tiie exhaustion due to
coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup liberally and regu
larly. Should you be able to go to a
warmer climate, you will find that of
the thousands of consumptives there,
the few who are benefited and regain
strength are those who use German
Sryup. Trial bottles, 25c ; regular

Correspondence of Tne L.edger.1
Etta Jane, March 5.—The members
of Camp Jefferies U. C. Veterans are
earnestly requested to meet at Wilk-
insville on Saturday 12th inst, at
10 o’clock a. m., for the purposes set
forth in the constitution and by-laws
of the Confederate Veteran Associa
tion. It’s the object to keep up these
meetings until the last survivor has
passed over the river.
We are glad to hear a report from
our neighbor boys, Messrs. Clyde and
Claude Inman and OHver Byers, who
are attending a business college at
Columbus, Ga.
Sam W. Fowler moved back to Un
ion this week.
Henry Walker, colored, has made
and sold quite a number of fish bask
ets to parties along the creeks and
river.
Comrade Isaac Peeler, of Center,
Miss., has ordered of your corespon
dent a copy of “Reminiscences of the
Civil War,” by General John B. Gor
don.
Mrs. Dr. M. A. Moore, we regret to
learn, is very sick at her home at
Union. Her son. Prof. J. Thos. Moore,
has been at her bedside all this week.
Her recovery Is very doubtful. Mrs.
Moore was a Walker, and was born
and raised in this section. She is an
aunt of County Superintendent of
Education J. L. Walker and a good
woman.
Messrs. F. A. Goforth, G. A. Byers,
J. H. Wilkins and J. G. Kendrick will
finish the Sunnyslde school house to
day. They have the contract and
have put up a very nice and comfort
able building.
Comrade John D. Dixon, of Gow-
deysville, who was a member of Com
pany G Palmetto Sharpshooters C. S.
A., has an inkstand made in the shape
of a barrel, which he got at the battle
of Seven Pines, Va., May 31st, 1862;
also a round tin case or tube with a
waterproof cap for carrying pipes in.
This he got at Second Manassas, Va.,
August 30th, 1862; also a splendid
razor he captured at Deep Bottom,
Va., in 1864. Mr. Dixon also has his
parole which he got at Appomattox,
Va., April, 1865.
We regret to hear of the death of
our friend Mr. J. Ran Warmoth, which
took place near Hickory Grove day
before yesterday. He was buried at
Hickory Grove yesterday. Like all
other men, he had his weaknesses, but
he was a first-class gentleman and
one of the most useful men in his
community. We deeply sympathize
with his bereaved family. He was the
father of Mr. L. C. Warmoth of Gaff
ney.
Mr. W. R. Walker has bought the
Dr. M. A. Moore place near Sunnyslde.
This tract of land contains between
900 and 1000 acres. Mr. Walker has
sufficient confidence In Cherokee
county dirt to put his money in it, and
he has proved himself one of the most
succesful business men in this coun
try. He has accumulated quite a
fortune by his tact and business en
ergy, and this recent purchase of land
will have a tendency to encourage
others to invest their money. Mr.
Walker Is turning his attention to
raising cattle. He will spare no effort
to make his the finest stock farm in
the South. In fact, it is that ndw, we
dare say, and he will continue to im
prove it. If the county had more men
like Messrs. Willie R. Walker and W.
Sam Lipscomb—men with money and
who are not afraid to invest It and
give steady employment to willing la
borers at remunerative prices, it
would not he long until Cherokee
county would he the garden spot of
the Piedmont section. Mr. Walker
was one of the first men to find out
that farming—raising cotton and other
field products with hired labor—was a
down hill business and he has set an
example for other people to follow.

home of Mrs. Kenneday, near Thom-

On being told to leave, he stood at the
window and used violent language,
stating in a fearful manner the
I purpose for which he had come, and
that if the door was not opened he
would burn down the house with
every one in it.
The presence in Charlotte of a man
masqueradiug in female attire was
the subject of comment In certain
sections of that city last week. Hig
purpose was supposed to be the sell
ing of a lotion for the complexion and
his object appeared to be to gain access
to homes at hours when it is reason
able to suppose that no men are pres
ent. The imposter’s awkwardness in
handling woman’s apparel led to his
undoing. In leaving the house, he
lifted the skirt from the mud, but
raised the garment so high that the
bottoms of a pair of trousers were
displayed. The trousers had been
rolled up to prevent detection. The
man wore a double veil, and it was
noticed that he did not uncover his
face while in the house.

Damon and Pythias. .
The immortal Shakespeare says:
“Life every man holds dear; but the
brave man
Holds honor far more precious-dear
than life.”
In no play ever written for the
stage has this noble sentiment been
more forcibly exemplified than in
“Damon and Pythias,” that wonder
ful story of true nobility and un
swerving devotion. “Damon and
Pythias” is one of the few great clas
sic plays that appeals strongly to
all classes of people for it is one of
such deep human interest, told in
simple yet forcible language that
goes straight to the heart.
The secret of the popularity of
“Damon and Pythias” Is, that unlike
most classic plays it is not above the
heeds of the average audience. The
story of the play is intensely Inter
esting, the language is simple but
forcible, and the play goes with a
swing that holds the close attention
of tire audience from beginning to
end. F. R. Hal lam’s great revivil of
this famous play will be the attrac
tion at the Star Theatre on next Sat
urday night.
