April 12.—The week end ing 8 a. m., April 11th. had a mean temperature of about 58 degrees, which is nearly 3 degrees below nor mal. due to cool weather at the be ginning of the week. The lowest tem perature along the coast ranged from 40 degrees at Charleston to 31 de grees at Conway, with an extreme minimum for the week of 38 degrees at Liberty, Pickens county. Thin ice was noted generally on the morning of the 4th. and light to heavy killing frosts on the 5th. The frost was very damaging in places, killing or serious- iv injuring peaches, figs, plums, corn and garden truck. In many locali ties fruit escaped serious injury, and in the commercial peach orchards of the “ridge” section, it is estimated that three-fourths of a full crop re mains. Apples and cherries suffered only slight injury, although some cor- respondents report both destroyed. Corn and white potatoes were nipped, the latter killed in places. The frost was not destructive in the commer cial truck raising districts, except to cucumbers that will have to be re planted. and to strawberries in the interior that were left exposed. Timely frost warning made it practi- oable to cover a large part of the strawberry crop. Rains fell on the 6th, 7th. 8th, and !ttu. but Mu* week’s rainfall was com- paratively light, averaging less than quarter of an inch. Scattered locali ties had amounts ranging from half to over an inch. The rainfall was en tirely insufficient along the coast, Where droughty conditions prevail, A NEWSY LETTER FROM ETTA JANE.

One of these was a two-story brick building occupied on the lower floor by E. M. Atkinson, proprietor of a beef mar ket; the upper floor being used as sleeping apartments. The other building was a two-story frame build ing used as a dwelling. Several other buildings caught but the fire was soon extinguished. The burned property was owned by .Mrs. Martha T. Mobley.

Whitaker of Camden, was shot and killed Saturday afternoon at Boykin Station on the Southern rail way. about ten miles below Camden, by J. E. Gillis. The two men had had some trouble some time ago about some fire which Whitaker charged Gillis with setting out on the planta tion of Mrs. M. B. Hale, his mother- in-law, which was in Whiatker’s charge. It seemed that the matter was at an end, however, until Satur day afternoon when Whitaker met Gillis and his father on the Camden road. The trouble was then renewed, resulting as above stated. In a duel fought on Pine street in Greenville Tuesday night, Policeman Tucker was shot through the stomach and probably fatally wounded, Ellis Sanders, night watchman at the Southern Railway station, who fired the first gun, was shot in the region of the lungs, and Policeman Brown, who was with Tucker, was slightly wounded in the leg. There were no eye witnesses. Tucker was removed to Black’s sanitarium for treatment and at a late hour it was said that he would hardly recover. Sanders is likewise mortally wounded. He could not speak when found. Tucker was in no condition to give a graphic ac count of the affair, and while he wsa preparing to tell his story he became weak and had to be quieted. Brown who will be the main witness, would not talk, and just how the shooting began is a matter of some specula tion. A later report says that Po liceman Tucker died Wednesday af ternoon. “I have used Chamberlain’s Stom ach and Liver Tablets with most sat isfactory results,” says Mrs. F. L. Phelps, Houston, Texas.

A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol lows; “I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continu ally in hack and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now' a well man.

Last Tuesday the railway commis sioners of the State met the railway officials of the Southern in this city to discuss the question of improving the freight and passenger accommo dations here . In the afternoon a large and rep resentative body of the business men of the city met in the office of the president of the Merchants and Planters bank. Mr. A. N. Wod was made chairman and Mr. L. Baker secretary of the meeting. Appropri ate remarks were made by Senate): T. B. Butler, J. C. Jefferiea, Esq.. Mayor R. M. Gaffney, L. Baker, W. H. Smith. J. A. Carroll, J. N. Lip scomb, J A. Willis and others. Later the railway commission, consisting of Messrs. Garris, Caughman and Wharton, were invited to the meet ing. Chairman Garris of the commis sion. asked for an outline of what the people wanted, and on motion Chairman Wood appointed Messrs. T. B. Butler. J. C. Jefferies and J. A. Willis, a committee to draft a peti tion to the railway. The following is the petition: State of South Carolina, County of Cherokee. To the Honorable Railroad Commis sioners of the State of South Caro lina; We, the undersigned committee, representing the citizens of Gaffney and surrounding country, respectful ly petition and show to your Honor able Body, 1st. That the passenger accom modation at Gaffney, South Carolina, is insufficient and inadequate and out of date, and the depot is so lo cated that it is in a dangerous posi tion, and not of easy access and most inconviently situated. 2nd. Your committee respectfully ask anil pray that the present pas senger depot he removed, and a new and more commodious and modern depot he erected on gound owned by Southern Railway Company on the north-west side of the railroad be tween Frederick and Robinson streets. 3rd. Your petitioners further ask and petition that Gaffney he given the same accommodation in regard to sale of intra state excursion tick ets and rates, and further ask that you recommend to the railroad au thorities that we be given inter state excursion rates and tickets as are given Blacksburg, Spartanburg and other points in South Carolina. 4th. We desire to call your Honor able Body’s attention to the fact that trains are so often improperly and inaccurately posted, requiring pas sengers to stay at the depot for hours at a time, and the trains are posted one-half hour late when as a matter of fact said trains are from one to three hours late, and that the accommodations for passengers in the depot are at times most miser- able; at times in the coldest weather no fires in the passenger depart ment; and in hottest and coldest weather not even water in the water tank. Your petitioners further petition and ask that these matters be given your speedy and immediate atten tion. Respectfully submited, L. Baker, Jas. A. Willis, J. C. Jefferies, Thos. B. Butler, Committee. After the petition had been present ed and discussed, the committee, to gether with the railway commis sioners, went out to view the land owned by the railway company and to talk over the selection of a site, just as if it was a settled thing that a new depot would be built. The officials of the Southern ar rived on a special train about 11:15. and were met by the committee and commissioners. They at once re paired to the bank and began discus sing the matter pro and con. Tlie railway party consisted of: J. M. Culp, Fourth Vice-President; C. H. Ackert, General Manager; J. H. Drake. Assist. Gen. Freight Agent; H. Baker. Assist. Gen. Su perintendent; F. L. Cherry, Train Master, Charlotte Division: P. L. McManus, Division Supt; R. L. Do zier. Secretary to Mr. Culp; J Mitchell, Secretary to Mr. Baker need a thing in the shape of improve- ed accommodations, notwithstanding the fact that we rank third in matter of growth of any town in the State, and have no better accommodations than they afford Thicekty. However, what we have written is neither here nor there as to the main point—a new depot. Our peo ple need not expect a new depot for some time to come. When the work begins we will tell them about it. Those railroad fellows are a deu- cedly clever set, very seductive and affable, and the way they can flatter a town and the people is a caution. We are glad we met them; glad to have them here with us for a day; glad to know they think so well of us and hope they will keep their promise to give us better passenger and freight accommodations. THROUGHOUT THE TARHEEL STATE RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE NORTH CAROLINA. IN Entre Nous Club Entertained. The Entre Nous Club entertained its gentlemen friends at the home of Miss Louise Jefferies Thurday evening. This lovely home was beau tifully decorated in club colors, “lilac and white,” the draperies being in I those colors. Over the lights were ti ny shades in lilac, making a mellow glow, the effect being as if one had i stepped into a fairy grotto where ali was life and mirth. The dining hall was banked here and there with pot ted plants and the dainty perfume of! the lilac pervaded the air. Added to 1 this was the grace and charm of young womanhood, and beauty held its sway. Five courses were served j by two young misses, Lillian Jones ^ and Esther Goudelock. while the punch bowl was gracefully presided over by Miss Lula Garrett. Various games were indulged in. The young ladies were daintily gowned as fol- Katherine Richardson, in Miss Kate Hamilton, in Miss Margaret Poag, in blue mull; Miss Louise Jefferies, in white organdie and lace; Miss Chris tine Goudelock. in white silk: Miss Lueye Littlejohn, in white silk; Miss Mary Bramlett, in white silk; Miss Laura Duff, in pink voile: Miss Nora Galloway, in white mull and ribbons.

CAN IT BE CURED? lows: white cream Miss mull; voile: Specialists Deffer.. Some Opinions From Patients Here Published Are Interesting, and of Value to Others. Whether real consumption can be cured, or not, is an open question, or to guarantee that any one medicine will positively cure consumption would be absurd, but we know there is something about the effect of Vi- nol when taken by persons who either have, or think they have con sumption. or serious lung troubles, that is decidedly beneficial. While we do not guarantee that Vinol will always cure consumption, we publish herewith extracts from some of the letters received on this subject, which prove that while we may be conservative in our claims, Vinol has certainly cured these peo ple, and as the letters are guaran teed to be genuine and from reliable persons we must accept the state ments as absolutely true: Mrs. J. G. Brown of Anderson, Ind., writes: “Our daughter Mary was in consumption, and given up to die by our family physician. She was very weak and emaciated, hut. Vinol re stored her to health in a marvellous manner, and she is as well as ever she was. Words cannot express our gratitude for this valuable cod liver oil preparation.” Mrs. N. B. Jenner of Lakewood, N. Y., writes: “I was in consumption, and no one thought I could live. I weighed less than 100 pounds, and my normanl weight is 175 pounds. Vinol cured me, and it seems almost a miracle.” The Rev. Church, St. young man hemorrhages Mr. Grosse of St. Paul’s Joseph, Mo., writes, “A in my congregation had of the lungs which weakened him so that he could not walk a block. I recommended Vinol he has taken four bottles, and feels like a new man: he eats well, sleeps well, and is getting strong.” Joseph Denis of Winslow. Me., writes: “My son was given up by two doctors to die with consump tion. He was a human skeleton, and could not raise himself in bed. Vinol has cured him so that he is healthy, M. fat, and as well as any of his play- H. i fellows.” Items of Interest Concerning Our Neighbors in the Old North State Culled Expressly for Ledger Readers The plant of the Pittsburg Lumber company, about two miles north of Wilmington, was destroyed by fire Tuesday.

The freight train was No. 54, west-bound, and the wreck was due to a broken flange. Twelve coal cars were ditched, but no one was injured. The telegram last week to State superintendent of public instruction informed him that Sharpe Institute, at Intelligence. Rockingham county, had been burned. The legislc re will be asked to increase the annual ap propriation of the Soldiers’ Home to $25,000 from $13,000, in order to pro vide for the fifty inmates. Work is progressing rapidly on the Raleigh and Palmico Sound Railroad. The four miles of road just beyond the Neuse river will he completed by May 1st and then tl .• road from Ra leigh—six miles—will be graded. As soon as this is completed the track will be laid a distance of 11 miles and a construction train put on running out from Raleigh. In the mayor’s court in Wilming ton Wednesday at noon Proprietor Duncan Clarke and eight members of his theatrical company submitted to the charge of having presented an in decent play at the opera house in that city. By a compromise the pro prietor was fined $25 and costs, while the other defendants were let off with costs, the total amounting to $37.70. George Latham, section master on the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail road, Friday morning met with a fatal accident. He was on his hand-car going at a good rate of speed when one of the negroes who was pumping the car fell forward, knocking Latham off the car and the car passed over his body. The man was taken to Newbern for medical aid, but shortly after reaching there he died of inter nal hemorrages. A serious accident occurred on Pat ton avenue in Raleigh Wednesday morning about 11 o’clock when the spirited horse driven by John Haynes ran away, throwing Mr. Haynes to the brick pavement and wrecking the buggy. Mr. Haynes' right leg was broken, two ribs were also broken, and he was otherwise bruised up. The injured man was placed in a rocking chair and taken to one of the local hospitals, where the broken bones were set. The case against Postmaster Lewis, of Madison, charged with shortage o? postoffice funds, has been continued until next term of court, defendant giving bond in the sum of $10,000.

To hear them would think that they had taken all the old broken-down non-paying railroads on earth on their hands and were really doing the people a service in operating them. But they were a jolly pair of stall-fed thoroughbreds who knew their business and if we had listened to them long enough we might have been persuaded they were giving Gaffney the cream of the milk of their road. As It was, we were al most persuaded that Gaffney didn’t troubles—Vinol, of course, is of far greater value; for it not only contains all the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil, but is entirely free from the oil or grease which invariably disagrees with the digestive organs and pre vents the good that might come from the cod liver oil medicine. We can only say that any one who is desirous of giving Vinol a trial for any kind of lung troubles may do so at our risk; we will pay for all the Vinol they take which does them no good. This shows that we have great faith in what Vinol can accom plish. Cherokee Drug Co. The commencement exercises of Littleton College , Littleton, N.
