The Cherokee County Democratic Convention Met in Courthouse Yes terday—Attended by Good Crowd. THAT $25,000 HUG. Public The Cherokee county convention met in the court house yesterday at 11 o’clock. The political pump worked as smoothly as it was possible tor a well-greased piece of machinery to work. There was absolutely no fric tion, and the lack of enthusiasm was painful to note. Everything had the appearance of being cut and dried and went througli like a streak of greased lightning. Nobody opposed anybody and it was a perfect love feast. There was no evidence that the slate was even scratched. J. B. Bell was made temporary chairman and G. W. Speer temporary secretary. On motion of T. B. Butler, and without even putting the motion before the house, the chair appointed the following committee on creden tials: W. S. Hall, J. B. Brown and Wm. Caldwell. The committee retired to examine the credentials. While the committee was out Hon. W. D. Kirby moved that the editors of the county newspapers ne allowed inside the rail. This was carried. The credential committee returned and reported the following as the del egates to the convention: Timber Ridge—S. R. Thackston, Tom Hames and Clayton Phillips.^ Kings Creek—Wm. Caldwell, Wm. | Borders and R. H. Mitchell. Sarratts—J. H. Wilkins, J. G. Ken drick and W. J. Sarratt. Macedonia—A. Harris J. V. Price and L. A. Turner. Littlejohns—J. E. Foster, J. E. iGault and W.

Butler the re- i port of the committee on credential 1- was received. W. J. Sarratt moved that a club he allowed to vote its full strength in ease of the absence of any of its dele gates. Motion carried. The next business before the con vention was the nomination for comi ty chairman. Robt. Scruggs nomi- i nated T. B. Butler. Mr. Butler de clined in favor of J. B. Bell. Mr. Bell was nominated amid a half dozen sec onds from different parts of the house. There were no other nomina-1 tions and Mr. Bell was elected by ac clamation. The next business was the selection of a vice-chairma;.. J. C. Jefferies declined the honor, as did also T. L. Brown. Mr. T. L. Bryant was nomi nated and Mr. Brown injected some levity into the proceedings by assum ing the prerogatives of the chair and insisting on the nomination of Mr. Bryant and putting the matter to a vote. This was the only feature of 'th<- convention that had the ring of genuineness about it. G. W. Spoor was made permanent secretary without opposition. T. B. Butler moved that delegates to the State convention be elected by ballot. Motion carried. The following were then nominated as delegates to the State convention: W. D. Kirby, J. V. Price, W. J. Sarratt, T. B. But ler, W. S. Wilson. J. I). Jones, N. W. Hardin and W. S. Hall. The latter withdrew. The following were elect ed: W. I). Kirby, J. V. Price. W. J. Sarratt. T. B. Butler, J. D.

Butler be one of the delegates to the national Democratic convention at St. Louis from this district, ‘‘Therefore he it resolved, that the delegates elected by this convention Will Suffer When Chickens Come Home to Roost. [Richmond News-Leader.] South Carolina juries are famous for doing curious things. The news papers of the State have been aroused by a verdict given at Green ville in a suit against the Southern Railway Company, which awarded $25,000 to a woman who was hugged against her will on a Southern train. The hugging was not done by a rail road man. Scoffers outside the busi ness may contend that it would be worth $25,0<t0 to a woman to he hug ged by a railroader. But in this case the operation was performed by an amorous and irresponsible passen ger. A contrast to this verdict was fur nished by the fact that in the same town a week before a jury gave a ver dict for hut $0,000 to a woman whose husband had been killed on a South ern train, thereby giving the prece dent that it is worth four times as much to be hugged by a stranger as to lose her husband. The South Car olina newspapers are pointing out that while it may be very good fun to petit jurors to bring in outrageous verdicts against corporations, the chickens will sooner or later come home to roost and that the general public will suffer by that roosting. Happenings All Over the State Taken from Our Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Readers. The secretary of State Friday is sued a commission to the Chappel oil mill, in Newberry county, capitalized at $15,000. The governor has received an invi tation to attend the national confer ence of good roads to be held on May 10-21, at St. Louis. It is likely that several delegates from this State will go.

Etta Jane, April 30.—People are planting watermelons today. Some planted a good while ago but the seed have rotted and they will have to be replanted. Those who are kind enough to do so take it by turns sitting up at night with Miss Amanda Bratton, who is still very low in health. Several of our people went to Gaff ney this week to trade. We understand our old weather prophet, Mr. .Mike Sellars, says we are going to have a big freshet in September that will destroy the crops on the lowlands. We wish sions for the killing of Spencer Dos- Mike would let the weather alone. A Sunday at Rehoboth. The word Rehoboth means “room,” or “the Lord hath made room for us,” and because of the fact that God hath made room for us, the above name was chosen for the new church, and also because of this same fact I feel like complying with the above text and giving God the praise for all that has been done at this place. In so doing I would not refrain from praising all the people for what they have done as instruments in - the hands of God. They have done well, hut a Paul may plant and an Apollos may water, but God giveth the in crease. This is a fact that I am afraid our people too often fail to note. I would not like to be called a crank the first time I attempt to come before the people in the paper, but I must say a few things along this line, which, I trust, will he taken to heart and do good. I noticed in all the talks that were made on the day of dedication of the church, and also in every men tion of it in the papers, that every speaker and writer flattered and praised the people (which was all right), but I do not remember hear ing God receiving praise for what He had done. I feel that I voice the sentiment of every one that took part in this work, in saying that we would rather all the praise would he given to God, for we are sure that He did all, or was the direct cause of its being done. “He is thy praise and He is thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.”—Dent. 10:21. I am afraid that we are prone to praise people more than God. Notice how Peter and John checked the peo ple on this point, when through them as instruments in the hands of God the lame man was healed. Lost the people look on them in astonishment and praise them as great healers, im mediately Peter says, “His name, through faith in His name, hath made this man whole.” Wo thank you for all the praise you have given us and are sure that it came from pure sentiment, but as we have done nothing hut our duty, and God has done all. we ask that God he given the praise, honor and glory. The more praise we give God the more He will do for us. that He Yr.ay get more praise of man. L. R. Gaines. ter, a negro who resisted arrest. J. A. Kirley, a white man of Hart well, Ga., has surrendered to Sheriff White, of Spartanburg, and is now in the Spartanburg jail. He is charged with malicious mischief in killing a mule. He denies the charge. The Georgia authorities have been noti fied and will send for the prisoner in a few days. In the Supreme Court Thursday morning the Waiters case from Charleston, being a suit on the bonds of the constables, came up, but on account of the absence of Waiter's attorneys it was continued until next term. This appeal is on a motion to strike out certain allegations in the complaint and make them more defi nite. The motion was before Circuit Judge Aldrich was refused. Willis Vaughn, a negro fireman who runs between Charlotte and Colum bia, was badly injured at the union station in Columbia Thursday even ing. While clearing out the ashe box, underneath the engine the engine moved slightly and one of the large driving wheels passed over both legs near the ankle. Vaughn was- taken to the colored ho: pital, whore both legs were amputated just below the knee.

The negro had been complaining of feeling unwell for several days, but no one had any idea of his being se riously sick. When lie did not come to work in the morning his friends supposed he had grown worse and de cided not to work. Later in the day they went to see how the negro was getting on and found him lying dead.

The parties who killed Jim Ruff, in Columbia, have skipped out and it will probably be some time before they are caught. Ruff, it will be re-; meinbered, was shot in a row with Mary Johnson and James Thompson. The two were arrested on chare of | •assault and battery of a high and ag- gravated nature and at the last term of court acquitted. In the meantime Ruff’s wounds caused blood poison ing. from which he died on Wednes day and an inquest was held Thurs day. The verdict was that the negro came to his death from a gunshot wound by hands of parties unknown to the jury, but when a search was made for Mary Johnson and James Thompson it was found that they had skipped out. they have had in the past, if more money will bring about the desired change. It’s the right conclusion for them to come to. The pastures are getting green and there will be grass enough to im prove the cattle in a few more days. Some farmers have finished plant ing cotton and are preparing their corn lands. From what we see there will be no material increase in the acreage of cotton this year as com pared with last year.
