while bathing in Barksdale pond a
mile north of Laurens.
The destructive fire at Greenwood
last week has been reported to the
comptroller general as of incendiary
origin ami that official went to Green-
wood Monday to investigate the cir
cumstances. The report was made
under a recent act of the legislature

ments in various towns and cities to
report all incendiary fires to the
comptroller general for investigation. |
Policeman Z. J. Brown, of Green
ville, charged with killing Sanders
in the pistol duel in that city several
months ago, in which Officer Tucker
lost his life, was tried in the court
of general sessions Monday and ac
quitted. Solicitor Boggs announced
at the conclusion of the testimony
that he did not think the facts pro
duced could warrant the State in
asking for conviction, and lie there
fore consented to a verdict of “not
guilty.”
Investigation of the alleged cruel
ties to ehaingang convicts in New
berry ordered by the last grand jury,
was continued by Referee Fred H.
Dominick Tuesday. Several witness
es were examined. All had seen con
victs whipped hut did not think the
whipping excessive. The former
hearing created interest throughout
the State on account of the testimony
showing inhumane treatment. The
investigation is now practically con
cluded. It was continued through
out under suggestions from a member
of the grand jury.
Davis Dillard, a prominent farmer
living nears Greers, fell dead in the
pasture on his plantation Friday af
ternoon about 2 o’clock. He left his
home shortly after 11 o’clock in the
morning, as was his usual custom,
to look after his stock, telling Mrs.
Dillard that he would return in time
for dinner. At 1 o’clock she became
alarmed at ids absence and accom
panied by two children left for the
pasture in search of Mr. Dillard,
they soon came upon his body lying
dead on the grass. Mr. Dillard had
been suffering with heart disease for
several years.
The mangled remains of young
Jerry Sheehan were taken to Black-
ville Friday afternoon and an inquest
was held by Magistrate W. A. Gyles.

Lee Seegle, who shot and instantly
killed Marvin Dodson Monday near
Whetstone, Greenville county, was
taken to jail Tuesday morning at an
early hour. Seegle made no effort to
escape, hut had his friends to tele
phone to the sheriff to come for him
at once. There were several eye
witnesses to the shooting. Dodson
was in Seegle’s yard when he was
fired upon and only a few steps from
Seegle. A shot gun was used and al
most the entire load entered the
breast and shoulder—the body being
fearfully torn. It is rumored that
Dodson had been ordered from See
gle’s house and did so after some
words. Later he was told to leave
Seegle’s yard and when this was re
fused Seegle secured his gun and
fired.
American Tin Plate
a Big Deal.
For several days there have
rumors of a big tin deal in this
ity. The figures named have
beyond the conception of the
of ordinary mortals. Feeling
ested in the matter from a newspaper
standpoint, a representative of I he
Ledger made inquiry of a number of
gentlemen interested in the ( aroli-
nas Tin and Development Company,
which was talked of as being connect
ed with the deal. For several days
no amount of solicitation would
elicit any information. Each and
every man approached was equally.
reticent. Finally a gentleman, who I
declined to allow his name to be
used, but who is in every respect re
liable and who knows what he is
talking about said:
‘ The Carolinas Tin and Develop-
ment Company, which had secured
control of a large tract of land be
tween Gaffney and Bessemer, has dis
posed of over three thousand acres
of its holdings in the vicinity of Kings
Mountain to the American Tin Plate
Company. I am not at liberty to
state the figures involved in the
transaction. I am informed that the
American Tin Plate Company will
commence operations with a very
large force of hands at once. The
Carolinas Tin and Development Com
pany retained much valuable prop
erty and will continue business. That
is all I can tell you.”
The Ledger representative learned,
however, that Mr. Graham, president
of the American Tin Plate Company,
and Mr. Walker, one of the officers
of the United States Steel Co., were
the gentlemen who made the deal.
These companies have had expert
mining engineers in this section for
a month or more and the result of
their researches was sufficiently grat
ifying to warrant the officers of the
above named companies coming here
and closing the deal.
Mr. Croze, an expert miner, will
have charge of the works of the
American Tin Plate Co., in this sec
tion. It is understood that they will
j begin to develop the property on an
j extensive scale within thirty days.
The company has about $200,000,000
; capital, is interested in all kinds of
mining enterprises, such as iron,
steel, gold, lead and tin. It owns
and operates over one hundred
; steamships, several railroads, coal
mines, etc., and employs more than
one hundred and ninety thousand
j men.
The transfer of even a portion of
this property to this corporation will
, mean more toward the development
of this section than most men will
realize. The hidden treasures of this
section of the country are about to
come to light. It has been said by
trustworthy miners that there are
I more minerals in this county in pay
ing quantities than in any other
county in the world, and it looks as
! if the day is not far distant when we
will realize that fact.

For some time a gang of negroes

postoffice at Blacksburg addressed

to the numerous complaints the mat

a result, one Salina, alias Pid Simms,

Bessie Simms, colored, another one
of the gang, was arrested Wednes
day and given a preliminary hearing,
but owing to the insufficiency of the
evidence was discharged.
it is apparent that the government
authorities are determined to break
up the gang who have so persistently
been tampering with the mail. It is

Play Ball.
On last Wednesday afternoon the
local team met the crack aggregation
from Shelby at Jefferies’ park. A
drizzling rain which fell during the
whole game took some of the snap
out of the players, but in spite of this
the game was fast and hard fought.
Shelby was assisted by Asbury and
Howie, two crack college players of
North Carolina.
The features of the game were the
hard hitting of the homo team and
the pitching of Wood, who was ef
fective at all times. Often when a
hit meant a run the luckless batters
from the Old North State could hut
punch lhe air.
The game was called at the ended

Etta Jane, May 31.—According to
previous announcement a large con
gregation met at Elbethel last Sab
bath to hear the sermon Rev. A. A.
James preached to the old soldiers.
Long before the hour for this service
to begin the church grounds were
thronged with people of all ages who
had come from every direction to
witness or take part in the service.
When we arrived upon the scene the
Sabbath school was in session, under
a corps of efficient and interested
teachers, with that broad-gauged,
liberal-minded friend of education,
Mr. T. M. Littlejohn, in general su
perintendence of the school. Mrs.
Bottie Foster presided at the organ,
and assisted by her well trained
children led the music, which was
exceptionally fine as well as appro
priate to the occasion. Mr. Little
john in a few concise and carefully
studied remarks impressed the les
son upon the minds of his classes
and attentive hearers. He requested
the younger people to see as soon as
the regular service began that room
was made near the pulpit for the old
men, many of whom were like him
self—hard of hearing. It’s not nec
essary for us to say that this request
was cheerfully granted and that ev
erything pertaining to the’ comfort
of the veterans was carefully consid
ered, especially when we are speak
ing of the Elbethel congregation.
The venerable A. A. James, whose
locks have been bleached with the
frosts of four-score winters, was on
the ground and prepared for his part
of the programme.
Omitting the rank and command,
we give the names of the following
veterans who took their seats near
the stand and gave a respectful hear
ing to the service: Wm. G. Austell,
John Bailey, Richard Banes, James
E. Bratton, Wm. D. Camp, John D.
Dixon, Richard Foster, F. Asbury Go
forth, Joseph Garner, Wm. L. Goude-
lock, Thos. D. Goudelock, John
Hames, John Jamison, William Jeff
eries, John D. Jefferies, Wm. C. Lip
scomb, James R. Littlejohn, R. Little
john, Thos. M. Littlejohn, James T.
Moorehead, Isaac G. Patrick, Thos.
J. Patrick, Pinckney D. Phillips, J.
Rufus Poole, Robert Pearson, James
Sparks, A. Frank Smith, James L.
Strain, Jack C. Thompson, S. R.
Thackston, William J. Vaughn,
Pinckney S. Weber, and G. Thomas
Wood.
If we have omitted any names
it is purely accidental and not inten
tional. Mr. James read the 4<ith and
47th Psalms and took for his text
Matt. 20:13: “Wheresoever this gos
pel shall he preached in the whole
world, then shall also this .that this
woman hath done lie told for a memo
rial of her.” It’s out of our power
to give an adequate idea of this ser
mon. Nothing but the sermon itself
will do that. It was justly commend
ed for its high plane of thought and
appropriateness to the occasion, its
publication would he a great source
of profit to those who heard it as well
as those who did not.
After an hour’s intermission and
refreshment the congregation assem
bled again and Mr. James preached
another very impressive sermon
from John 13:27: “If ye know these
tilings, happy are ye if ye do them.”
Notwithstanding the*' day was
warm and the ground very dry and
dusty, everything was pleasant. It
was a veritable reunion—one we
seldom realize the pleasures of. It
brings our people closer together and
cultivates in them a better feeling for
each other, especially when the mem
ories of the days gone by ami inci
dents almost forgotten and revived
are made subjects of conversation.
When Mr. James looked at the scar
on Lieut. W. L. Goudelock’s neck
where he was wounded while in the
trenches at Petersburg, Va., he re
called the incident of its being a well-
nigh mortal wound, and but for the
presence and attention of his noble
and devoted wife who was soon upon
the scene and nursed him back to
life he might have been a dead man.
The incident was similar to that of
Gen’l. John B. Gordon at Sharpsburg,
Md.
It was greatly regretted that Com
mander G. Wash McKown was pre
vented by sickness in Ins family from
being present. He lias the hearfelt

SALE RAPIDLY INCREASING
Mi-o-na, the Dyspepsia Remedy, Has
Cured Hundreds of Gaffney Drug
Co. Customers.
One of the greatest successes in
the sale of a medicine has been
achieved by Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia
remedy, and its sale is increasing so
rapidly that Gaffney Drug Co., the
popular druggists, have hard work to
keep a stock on hand.
It is very popular with well known
bankers, ministers, lawyers and oth
ers whose business or profession
keeps them closely confined, while
those who have brought on indiges
tion through irregular eating, worry
or other causes, have found a cure
in this remarkable remedy.
Mi-o-na is in the form of small tab
lets and is sold in a metal box es
pecially designed for convenience in
carrying the medicine in the pocket
or purse. It is pleasant to take;
costs hut 50c, gives quick relief and
makes lasting cures.
This remedy has been so uniformly
successful and made so many remark
able cures that Gaffney Drug Co. will
in future sell Mi-o-na under a posi
tive guarantee to refund the money
if it should not cure. No other dys
pepsia medicine ever had a large
enough percentage of cure so that it
could be sold in this manner. A
guarantee like this speaks volumes
for the merit of the remedy.
