MARCH 23. 1904. *1.00 A YEAR* THROUGHOUT THE PALMETTO STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST OF PASSING EVENTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Happenings All Over the State Taken from Our Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Readers. A company of regulars from the Sixteenth infantry, now in garrison: at Fort McPherson, will attend the encampment of the Clemson cadets ^ in Anderson the first of May. In a quarrel Wednesday at Baton, Rouge, Chester county, between two i brothers. Eli and Charles Wilkes, the latter was shot by the former. The wound is considered serious. Eli has been arrested. At a primary election held in York county Saturday for probate judge 1.350 votes were cast as fol lows: Brooks Inman, 219; Frank P. McCain. 257; L. It. Williams, 874. Mr. Williams is elected on the first | primary and will make a good pro- bate judge. An effort is now being made to es tablish a canning factory in Jones- ville. A site has already been se cured for the factory, and it is said that the promoters of this new en- terprise, Messrs. A. L. Bassett and W. H. S. Harris, have perfected plans and will soon begin work on the same. Robert, the three-year-old son of Mrs. M. Cox, of I^anderman, in Green ville county, was badly burned sev eral days ago. Though the inuries are serious, it is thought that the child will recover. It seems that the child was playing around a fire in the house, and in some way his clothing was ignited. About 11.30 Frday night the barn and stables of Mr. B. H. Rouse, a prominent merchant and farmer re siding a few miles from Luray, in Hampton county, were burned. Mr. Rouse lost about 800 bushels of corn and other property to the amount of $1,200. The fire is believed to have been the work of an incendiary. Mr. Andrew Cargenie has donated $10,000 to the library for Converse College in Spartanburg. This makes $25,000 that the Scotch multi-million aire has planted in Spartanburg in stitutions, he having recently given to the Kennedy library $15,000, the bequest being conditional, and every phase of which has been met by the people. Theodore G. Croft has been nomi nated by the people of Aiken for the uenxpired term in congress of his father, recently deceased. Mr. .Croft has accepted and will begin a canvass of the district right away. Col. Jas. H. Tillman and several other of the candidates who had announced, have withdrawn and will throw their in fluence to Mr. Croft. In Magistrate Moorman’s court in Columbia Saturday morning W. H. Sellers, who runs a restaurant on Gervais street, was tried before a jury on the charge of violating the dispensary law. Sellers’ negro dri ver was caught transporting liquor in a wagon on February 22nd, and on arrest 440 pints were taken. The jury brought in a verdict of not guilty. Governor Heyward Saturday morn ing, on request, issued proclamations for rewards aggregating $400. Each was for $100 and for the burning of a building at Troy, the capture of Jim Johnson, who killed John Chris tie at Greenwood, for the parties who burned the dwelling of Mrs. A. C. Phillips at Laurens and for the rob bing and burning of the store of W. R. Bishop at Bamberg. It is reported that Winthrop College, the State college for women at Rock Hill, has re ceived a gift of $20,000 from Andrew Carnegie for a library building. It has been learned from an authentic source that the $20,000 had been giv en the college for a library, provided the college raise $2,000 yearly for its support. It is said that the college will have no difficulty in doing this and will comply with the conditions. As a result of a preliminary hear ing Wednesday, Magistrate GosSett, of Spartanburg, bound over to the sessions court Criss Anderson, a ne gro who was arrested some time ago at Pacolet charged with having com- ^toitted a criminal assault on the per son of Mrs. Hill, aged 80 years. The victim of Anderson’s alleged crime was present at the hearing and positively identified the negro as the guilty man. When the crime was re ported there was strong reason to justify the officer in taking the pris oner to Spartanburg for safe keep ing. R. R. Woodside, assistant superin tendent of the weaving department at the Saxon Mills, in Spartanburg, was seriously cut Wednesday after noon by Will Berry, a former opera tive in the mill. It is said that Berry was under the influence of intoxi cants at the time of the affair and there seems to have been little provo cation leading up to the serious ter mination. Berry entered the weave room and grew obstreperous and Woodside ordered him out. There- ujmui the former drew a pocket knife and cut Woodside, inflicting three wounds in the chest, arm and stom ach. He then escaped. Sheriff White sp^nt the afternoon in searching for Woodside’s assailant, but his arrest has not been reported. Suspected of being a member of the notorious Noland gang of safe- blowers and postoffice robbers, A. M. Arnold, white, alias William Smith, alias L. Ivey, was arrested Tuesday by United States Marshal J. Duncan Adams in a barber shop on King street in Charleston. Arfiold, alias Ivey, is suspected of being one of the two men who escaped when other members of the gang were captured.! Other members of the gang were con victed of robbing postoffices at the | April term of court, 1903. The other man who escaped with Ivey, whose j name Is Ford, alias Murphy, has never been seen since the arrest of his companions, and it is supposed that he has fled from that section j of the country. Ivey denies knowing 1 anything of the robberies and holds that he is innocent of the charges j brought against him. Forest fires are raging all around Columbia, doing enormous damage to the property of landowners and i destroying hunrdeds of feet of valu able timber. The fires were started on the lines of the Seaboard and j Southern railways and are supposed to have been caused by sparks from j the engines, although it is regarded ! as a little peculiar that all of them should have begun at once on the. Seaboard. The fire got its headway about March 11th and has gone all through the counties of Kershaw, Richland and Lexington. In Kershaw it spread toward the north. Farmers all along the line were fighting the spread of the flames. On the South- orn the fires are along the Charlotte line between Blythewood and Colum bia, having started about March 10th, hut so far no damage has been done the road’s property. — Distinguished Representatives. Clemson College, March 19.—Fri day night the tenth annual public contest of the Calhoun Society of this place was held in Memorial Chapel. Two of the contestants, Mr. Lafar Lipscomb and Mr. Vernon Baker, are from Gaffney. Mr. Lipscomb’s ora tion. “State Socialism,” was one re markable for its broad mindedness, and clear logical expression. Mr. Baker’s declamation. “A Man Over- hoard,” was delivered with an in tense earnestness that evoked tu multuous applause from the large au dience of students and faculty mem bers. Both of these young men are representative members of the sen ior class, and it is the universal opin ion that they will richly deserve the diplomas which they will receive in a few months. The other speakers were: Mr. C. E. Jones, of Batesburg, subject; “John C. Calhoun”; Mr. F. T. Hamlin, of Anderson, subject: “The Scattered Nation.” Mr. R. F. Gooding, of Wiusboro, affirmative, and Mr. J. R. Connor, of Eutaw, negative, of the debate, “Resolved, that Immigration is Detrimental to the South.” The judges, President P. H, Mell, Prof. T. W. Keitt and Judge J. N. Hook, awarded the society medals to Mr. Baker, Mr. Jones and Mr. Connor. A NEWSY LETTER FROM ETTA JANE. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE.

Correspondence of Tne Ledger.i Etta Jane, March 19.—The Con gressional Record of Friday 11th con tains the remarks of Congressman Finley on the report of Fourth As sistant Postmaster Gereral Bristow, in which that official accuses several congressmen with using their official influence to secure the annulment of leases by the P. O. department on public buildings and the renewal of some at a higher rental. Mr. Finley shows conclusively that the York- ville office was not in that category. Farmers are putting in their guano. We look for a large cotton crop to be planted this year. We have received a package of the books, “Reminiscences of the Civil War,” by John B. Gordon, and are now able to furnish subscribers at publisher’s prices. County Supervisor J. V. Whelchel was in this section this week looking after the roads and bridges of the county. Our neighbor and friend Mr. John Blackwood, of Gowdeysville, asks this question, which we wish our readers to help us to solve: A moth er and two daughters marry three brothers; what kin are their child ren? We will he glad to publish the answer of anyone who will give it. Rev. A. A. James, late chaplain of the 18th S. C. regiment C. S. A., will preach a sermon to Camp Jefferies IT. C. veterans on the 5th Sabbath in May. The place for the service has not yet been selected, but we sup pose it will be at ElBethel. Of course the veterans extend a cordial invi tation to their friends and comrades, and especially the sons and daugh ters to attend. Further notice will appear as the time approaches. A gentleman who is noted for his mental weakness and sectarian preju dice took occasion to remonstrate with a good, sensible lady of this community for allowing her children to attend the Sabbath school of an other denomination. Her reply was “I want to raise my children to he good citizens and Christians, and I think they can learn that in one Sahabth school as well as another." That’s a sensible woman. We have plenty such in this community, even if they haven’t proved it in the selection of husbands. We regret to state that Miss Aman da Bratton has had a relapse and Dr. Chess Leech has been called in to see her. Mrs. Wm. J. Vaughn, whose illness has been repeatedly mentioned in this correspondence, died last night about 12 o’clock, and will be buried at Mesopotamia tomorrow. Rev. J. B. Wilson, her pastor, is expected to conduct the funeral exercises. Truly a good woman has gone to rest. Her life was an exemplary one, and like one of old, she could say, “Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like His.” Our heart goes out in sorrow to the bereaved family who mourn not as those with out hope. Messrs. Ferry Estes and Sam Strain and Misses Mattie Lee and Jessie Strain returned home from a trip to Sedalia last Tuesday. Aleck Blackwood, whose illness was mentioned in a recent letter, we are glad to say is getting well again. Miss Mattie Estes, who has been sick for some time, is now able to be up and about. Mr. Ed Littlejohn, of Jonesville, and W. E. Mabry, Esq., magistrate, were in this section last Tuesday on business. We understand that a former citi zen of this county, a Confederate sol dier, who had a horse taken from him after the surrender of the Confeder ate armies by the TJ. S. troops then in pursuit of President Jefferson Da vis. has. through the Court of Claims at Washington, recovered the value ol his horse. There are several other claims of this kind in Cherokee county that might he collected with a little trouble and expense to those interested. j 3 People You Know and People You Don’t Know. Mr. Joe E.
