There were only two bids, Mr. Morris Israel of Charleston, being the suc cessful bidder at $155,0<i0. This is considered less than half the value of the property. Lieut. Geo. B. Williams, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Williams of Yorkville, has recently been promoted to the command of the American torpedo squadron at Manila.

The Supreme Court recently hand ed down its ruling in the case of Mrs. M. A. Koon, administratrix, vs. the Southern Railway, sustaining the decision in the lower court, which granted to the plaintiff $10,000 dam ages on account of the death of her husband, who was killed by a pile driver at Thickety, in Cherokee county, about a year ago. Plans for the Methodist church at Bamberg to cost $10,000 or $12,000 have been selected, and the building committee has secured subscriptions enough to warrant it in advertising for bids to erect the building. It will be a handsome brick building with stone trimmings and of modern ar chitecture. This great work has been accomplished by Rev. M. W. Hook, who is now serving his fourth year as pastor of the Methodist church at that place. Judge Charles H. Simonton, of Charleston, died at an early hour Monday morning in Philadelphia. He had ben in a sanitarium in that city for several weeks. Judge Simon- ton’s health has been failing for more than a year, and a few weeks ago he experienced a general breakdown. He had been in a sanitarium in that medical treatment, but the efforts that were made in his behalf w f ere in vain. The remains were taken to Charleston for burial. Spencer Doster, colored, of Rock Hill, was dangerously shot by Officer Ewbanks of that place Saturday af ternoon late, while the latter was discharging his duty as policeman. Doster was under the influence of liquor and boisterous on the street. He was arrested by Ewbanks and taken to the lock-up, where a scuffle ensued between the two and the offi cer was compelled to shoot, as he be lieved, to save his own life. It is thought that Doster will die. Mr. A. L. Nunnery, trial justice of ■Bethesda township, York county, re ceived serious injuries Sunday while returning to his home near Ogden. He bought a ticket at Rock Hill for Ogden but when the train reached that point it did no stop but increased its speed. Mr. Nunnery waited until the train had proceeded about 125 yards past the depot when he Jumped and fell violently to the ground, breaking his nose, knocking his left shoulder out of Joint and receiving several other injuries, but not seri ous.

Germany’s shipbuilding industry in 1903 shows unsatisfactory results, and builders complain they do not get foreign orders as they should. Rev. L. M. Roper Says: Rev. Dr. L. M. Roper, pastor of j the First Baptist church of Spartan- ’ burg, S. €., tells the people of Gaffney and Cherokee county of the superior ity of Fe-no-pep-zone. He writes; “I have been looking for several years for a headache remedy that re lieves the pain and at the same time removes the cause of pain. Fe-no-pep- zone is such a remedy. Of many good remedies for headache which I have tried Fe-no-pep-zone is much the best. It is pleasant to take. It Is a safe remedy even for a person of very sensitive, nervous temperament. It Is effectual for any headache that re sults from loss of sleep, excitement weariness, or indigestion, and it leaves no bad effects behind it." For sale at Dr. S. B.

C., April 27.—The republicans are doing their level best i to deceive the people as to the real conditions existing in the business world. They are pouring speeches into Congress for use in the coming campaign, the tenor of which is “stand pat,” “all is well,” “prosperity is still rampant,” despite a few facts to the contrary. They would have | the country believe that we are rapid- i ly recovering from the set-back to industry which occurred from Oc tober last to January, when wage re ductions became general, and when nearly half the mills in many indus tries had to close. Although there never was more im portant business for Congress to at tend to than at present, in order to bring relief from the tyrannical trusts which have put up price> and increas ed the cost of living to the highest point ever known, while reducing wages in all directinos, yet Is the aim and policy of the republicans to adjourn Congress just as soon as the appropriation bills can be rushed through. They will then begin to circulate speeches, hoping to lull to sleep the great mass of voters and to keep them ignorant of the real facts as to the industrial depression which is on still and which cannot be vanquished, even by republican rhetoric. The republicans know that every day they remain in Washington will not only bring to light new scandals in their administration, but that it will add new evidence of the depression which is now running its course. They know that the democrats hesitate to picture conditions as bad as they really are and that, if Congress ad journs at once, the democrats will practically be without frankable speeches to off-set the frankable pros perity speeches of the republicans. This, they think, will give them an other opportunity to fool the voters of the country, and I am sorry to say many of them are fooled. This ac counts, also, for much of their un seemly haste to adjourn Congress. * • # The appeals of the New York City delegates were unavailing, and the Hill-controlled delegates of the republican end of the state walked over them rough shod and manacled them to one candidate, and that candidate undoubtedly a good man and a clean man, but one who is endorsed by August Belmont and Grove’’ Cleveland and David B. Hill, and the entire gang who left the democratic party in its hour of need. A man who says nothing himself, but who is endorsed by such men as those above, certainly must have giv en to them his confidence and his po sition on the questions agitating the people of the country evidently suits them down to the ground. if they do so, then they should not suit the great mass of the common people of the country, for those men represent all there is to the rapacity of riches and the lust for loot among the crimi nal trusts and the special privilege grabbers of this great country. It is the concensus of opinion here among the leading western and southern democrats that if Judge Parker-is de feated for the nomination he may at tribute it to the company he keeps, for they utterly repudiate the kind of democracy for which Hill, Belmont and Cleveland stand, and look upon their activity In democratic politics at this time as an attempt to republi- canize the democratic party, and they say that there is not room in this country for two republican parties and will have none of it In theirs. * * * At the War Department the other day, I learned that Quartermaster General Humphrey and other officers of the quartermaster’s department of the army, have arranged a most inter esting exhibit of that great military supply department for the I/misiana Purchase Exposition. The exhibit in cludes representations of different methods of field transportation and uniforms of the army of the United States from 1770 up to date. The uniforms are Illustrated in movable frames. Lay figures show a group of officers and men of all arms and de partments in the present service, and dress uniforms, including the new ol ive drab uniform, also a group in the tropics in khaki and in white summer uniforms. Special exhibits show the development of army boots and shoes since 1857, including all sorts of foot gear worn during the civil war, in Alaska, and the Indian campaigns, to gether with a sample brass-screwed shoe worn by a Confederate soldier and two pairs of moccasins worn by Apache Indians during the Geronimo campaign. In fact, the exhibit will be a complete expose of the whole equip ment of the army from the beginning of the republic up to the present time, and as an object lesson to children studying history is invaluable. Charles A. Edwards. The new Grain Exchange, at Oma ha, Neb., started business with 100 brokers on the floor and every Indi cation of good business. It s easy not to believe in divorce if you’ve never been married. Etta Jane, April 27.—We had the pleasure last Sabbath of attending the dedicatory services of Rehoboth church. This takes the place of the old Mount Moriah church, which stood not far from the spot where this new church stands. The day was a lovely one, and quite a large congregation attended. Everything was conducted in the most becoming manner. Several peo ple were unable to get inside the house. The people of that and every other section of the county who cul tivate the right kind of spirit are proud of the new church building, and the grounds upon which it came into being. It is indirectly, if not directly, the result of a work that has been going on in this community for nearly sixteen years, in the form of an Interdenominational Sunday School Convention, which has brought the more teachable ones of our commun ity to feel that “united we stand, di vided we fall.” The church is open to all Protestant Christian denomina tions to preach in. It was built for that purpose and with that view. It’s unnecessary to say that the beauy and pride of the county was present in the persons of the noble and self-sacrificing women, who al ways do their part of the work. They loaded a long table with the very best victuals the soil and markets provide, and everybody was invited to come and help himself, and everybody, we suppose, did so. If any didn’t it was his own fault. Those people have built a beauti ful church—a credit not only to that community but to Cherokee county, and we look for a great work to be accomplished in that community. For a country church it is equal to any in the county, and we expect to see it painted just as soon as the necessary arrangements can he made. That idea was suggested by Mr. W. Sam Lipscomb, with whom to will a thing means to do it. Our old friend, Mr. Jesse J. Mabry, who is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, men in the county, attended the dedicatory services and gave good attention to the entire proceed ings. Nobody is prouder of the new church and its mission than Un cle Jesse. It was our pleasure to meet with and form acquaintance with the beau tiful and charming "Annie Laurie,” whose facile pen has brought her into prominence as a writer, and we hope she will treat our readers with one of her sensible and interesting letters occasionally, or even oftener. Night before last, and yesterday morning we were visited with a most acceptable shower of rain which put the farmers in much better hope and shape. There has been but little rain here since last June. Early planted corn has come rp and good stands are generally re ported. After all the cold there are a good many peaches left—enough for one crop at least. It’s time for farmers to have trouble with their hands. The sun will soon be hot and they will find some excuse to quit. Miss Amanda Bratton is still liv ing. She suffers greatly at times with something about her heart. If her disease has ever been located we haven’t heard of it yet. The talk now is that a good many will attend the Charleston reunion next month. Miss Bessie Moorehead sponsor for Camp Jefferies, expects to attend. From everything we can see and hear we are satisfied that the time has come to turn the liquor businss down, in so far as the ballot box is concerned. But some of the old soaks would rather drink it dry than to vote it dry. Last Saturday night Hon. Godfrey B. Fowler was at the debating society and gave the boys a good sensible talk. He is a strong advocate of higher and better education and thinks that there is no place where the young men of a community can improve themselves so much and at so little expense as at a debating so ciety. The subject last Saturday night was: “Which is more benefi cial to the country at large, the or phan’s home or the institute for the deaf, dumb and blind?” It was de cided in favor of the institute for the deaf, dumb and blind. Next Saturday night the query is: “Resolved—that commercial fertili zers have been an advantage to this country.” We were at Gaffney one day tills week and found out from friends and acquaintances from different parts of the county that the farmers are in pretty fair shape. The selection of Capt. H. P. Grif fith to /ieliver the annua) address at the Confederate reunion in Charles ton next month is an excellent choice, and the veterans will not be disap pointed when they hear from him. It’s not only a compliment to Capt. Griffith but to Cherokee county to have such an honor conferred on one of its citizens. We but voice the sen timent of every member of the Cher okee regiment of U. C. veterans when we thank the committee for confer- rlnug such a distinguished honor up on its commander. Some of the attractive features of the reunion will be, “The destruction of Pompeii,” by Paine’s spectacular fireworks. This is one of the most picturesque displays of fireworks ever presented by the great pyro technist and will doubtless be wit nessed by thousands who will testify as to its realistic appearance. J. L. S. New Prospect News. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) New Prospect, April 2C.—“There is music in the air” these day". One can hear the sounds of the guano distrib utors and cotton planters on every side, and also the sound of the plo ’- boy’s voice as he talks to his horse or flop-eared mule, sometimes in a pleasant manner and again in an ill- humored way. The weather lias been very favor able for farm work and the most of our farmers have made good use of it, I think, in preparing their laud for this season's crop. It seems as if even the fence corners will be plant ed in cotton. The demand for sup plies and fertilizers this spring seems to be a record-breaker. As the farmer is hauling his fertilizer from the sta tion lie appears very happy, and with a cheerful face he sings, “What a happy meeting," etc., but in the au tumn when he goes to pay for this fer tilizer we fear that, with a sad ex pression, he will sing another song. An increased acreage means a poorer- cultivated crop with less returns. The cold weather killed a great deal of the fruit, but there is some left yet in our section. We notice that early planted corn is coming up nicely. One of our early farmers planted his cotton seed the first of this month, and it came up nicely, but those cold frosty morn ings last week were too rough for it; so our friend will have the pleasure of piauting his cotton crop over. There is an old adage like this, “The early bird gets the worm," but our friend missed it this time. Messrs. Freeman Coggin and Bon ny Low are on the sick list at this writing. Mr. J. A. Maise, who has been sick for some time, is better now. Mrs. Bessie Putnam has been sick for sometime; but we are glad tore- port that her health is improving. Our Walnut Hill neighbors met on Saturday, the 17th inst., and re organized the Sunday school at that place. Mr. Forest Jackson was elect ed superintendent and Mr. Syd Alver- son secretary. Misses Ella and Mary Wall, of Fairforest, accompanied by their brother, Mr. Lewis Wall, were visit ing friends and relatives in this com munity last Sabbath. They are nice girls and their friends are always glad to meet them. Dr. Ervin filled his regular appoint ment at New Prospect last Sabbath, and preached an excellent sermon. Pet. THROUGHOUT THE TARHEEL STATE RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE IN NORTH CAROLINA. FEEBLE ULD REUP.E, For All Such People in Gaffney We Guarantee Vinol Will Create Health, Strength and Vital ity, or Return Money. Hundreds of old people right here in Gaffney need just such a strength maker and body builder as our de licious cod liver oil preparation, Vinol; and we simply cannot under stand why they will continue to drag out a half-dead and half-alive exist ence, when we guarantee Vinol will infuse new life, invigorate every or gan in the body, stop the natural de cline and make them well, vigorous and strong. If you want to know how an aged, feeble, discouraged man or woman may be made active, cheerful and vigorous, read this letter: Mrs. Catherine Therer of Albany, N. Y., writes: “Six months ago I felt that I was broken down by age, and I was doomed to the weak and feeble condition of old people. The slightest exertion tired me, and I had no strength. My daughter brought me a bottle of Vinol. I soon felt an improvement, I continued its use, and am now well, cheerful and stronger than I have been for years; in fact, I feel 10 years younger.” Vinol is not a strong stimulant which reacts on the system, but it is a genuine tonic and body builder which creates strength by building up every organ in the body to do its work as nature intended, and makes rich red blood. In this way it stops the natural decline and replaces weakness with vigor. We wish every old person in Gaffney would try Vi nol on our guarantee to return money if it fails. Take a dose of Vinol after each meal and every night before re tiring and note its beneficial effect. Cherokee Drug Co. A Cure for Headache. Any man, woman or child suffering from headache, biliousness or a dull drowsy feeling should take one or two of DeWitt’s Little Early Risers night and morning. These famous little pills are famous because they are a tonic as well as a pill. While they cleanse the system they are strong and rebuild it by their tonic effect upon the liver and bowels.

Items of Interest Concerning Our Neighbors in the Old North State Culled Expressly for Ledger Readers The residence of Johnny Weber, the well known Dutchman who manufac tures sausage for Charlotte consump- : Mon, was destroyed by fire late Tues day afternoon. The house was situ ated on the Statesville road, near Charlotte, and was completely de- , stroyed. The loss is estimated at $1,000. The weather report for North Car- lina says that there will be a fair crop of apples. Peaches are badly damaged; strawberries wdll be an average crop; corn is nearly ail plant ed, cotton planting and bedding has j been deferred because of the drought. All tobaco plants are small and none set yet. According to a report which Mr. A. P. Hall, of Statesville, carried to that place from Blowing Rock, the particulars of which were given him by a man named Green, who resides in the neighborhood, Boone Potter, the noted desperado, was killed in Watauga county Saturday # morning and buried that day. At 10 o’clock Monday night Dr. John M. Stansiil, of Rockingham, died suddenly, of heart failure. He had been called in to a meeting of the trustees of the graded schools, which was in session in Mr. A. S. Dockery’s office, to discuss the small pox situation. During the meeting he suddenly grew weak and died in a few minutes. Luther Lyons, an anti-Blackburn Republican, and John Crouch, editor of the Wilkesboro Journal, had a lit tle difficulty Monday at North Wilkes boro. It grew out of the recent Re publican convention and the subse- quent meeting of the anti-Blackburn forces at Statesville, of which meet ing Mr. Lyons was secretary. Lyons struck Crouch, who offered no re sistance. Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. Debney Hurlock, who lived five miles from Mt. Pleasant, in Cabarrus coun ty, were burning off a new ground. By some misfortune Mrs. Hurlock’s dress caught on fire and she was fa tally burned. She lingered until Fri day, when she died. Mr. Hurlock ran to her assistance- and in trying to extinguish the flames he, also, was seriously burned, but he will recover. Betty Kelley, a negro woman 56 years old, died Saturday night while “shouting” in a revival at Mt. Zion Baptist church in Salisbury. The deceased weighed more than 300 pounds, and as she could not sit down comfortably on a regular seat the congregation had provided a spec ial seat for her. Direct mental sug gestion, heightened in its effects by her hysterical condition, was proba bly the cause of her death. A serious wreck occurred at 10:30 Monday morning just south of Down ing creek, between Aberdeen and Hamlet, on the Seaboard. Train No. 8, north-bound, jumped the track and twelve cars loaded with vegetables were demolished. Fireman Murd Cameron had his leg badly smashed, making amputation necessary. Just why the train left the track was not known. It is known as the Seaboard fast freight and carrfes large quan tities of fresh vegetables and through freight from the South. The State charters the Laxo Com pany, to manufacture drugs and chemicals, at Durham, with a capital stock of $275,000, Jones Fuller and others stockholders. It also chartered the Planters’ Cotton Seed Oil Compa ny, of Rocky Mount, with a capital stock of $50,000, F. L. Daughtridge and others stockholders, and author izes the Fore & Foster Planing Mills, at Wilmington, to use its accumu lated reserve of $25,000 by issuing new shares of stock and thus paying a stock dividend. Policeman Frank Martin, accompa nied by Mr. W. F. James, of Davie county, left Winston on the early Monday morning train for Iowa in search of Mrs. G. H. Graham and the man she ran off with, Frank C. Warden, the first part of the week. Mr. James is a prominent business man of his county. He conducts one or two stores and a tobacco manufact uring business. He is willing to spend $1,000 or more, if necessary, to get his daughter back. A commission was sent to Governor Aycock and he signed it, the same being a requisi tion on the Governor of Iowa, asking for the surrender of Mrs. Graham and little daughter and Warden. Serious Stomach Trouble Cured. I was troubled with a distress in my stomach, sour stomach and vomit ing spells, and can truthfully say that Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver tablets cured me.—Mrs. T.
