L. McWhirter, on his place one mile from Jonesville, was burned Sunday night. The feed ing was done and the barn locked be fore night. It was the work of an incendiary, but there is no clue as yet. There was $135 insurance on the barn. Lightning Tuesday killed a horse belonging to Mr. David Skeleton, just below Anderson. A negro was riding the horse at the time but escaped Without a scratch.

Lewis Flowers is dead and Sampson Brown is in jail at Marion under a charge of murder as a result of a difficulty had by the two men last Friday. Both are white men and were neighbors, living about four miles from Mullins. Brown shot Flowers at the former’s home Friday after meeting yesterday. The reports of the president and of the secretary and treasurer on the operation of the mill for the past year, and its financial con dition, were high'y satisfactory to the stockholders. In addition to the regu lar semi-annual cash dividend of 3 1 / fc per cent, ordered paid July 1st, an ad ditional stock dividend of 50 per cent, was authorized to be issued within noon. Mrs. Brown and a small son of thj r ty days to each stockholder Mr. Flowers were eye-witnesses to against the undivided profits, the tragedy.

J. Clarence Edwards, a white man aged 21 years, is in the Spartanburg jail to await trial for forgery. The case is a pitiable example of the Hyomei, downfall of a young man, who at tributes it to drink. Wednesday Ed wards secured a blank check from the store of Dunbar Bros., and filled it out, using the name of A. B. Groce, one of the county’s wealthiest citi zens, as endorser. The check was for $200, and was presented by Ed wards at the First National Bank. The fraud was at once detected and Ed wards was arrested and lodged in jail. NOT A PATENT MEDICINE In court in Columbia the jury in the case of Frank James, the young white man charged with murder, acquitted him without leaving their seats Wed nesday afternoon. James was an overseer on Col. Singleton’s planta tion a few miles below Columbia and several months ago he killed a negro in self-defense. The negro had threatened James and one morning atacked him. He fired at him four times, hitting him twice, death result ing from the wounds. The trial was simply a matter of form and did not occupy much time. Dr. Arthur O. Thomas, of Spartan burg, was the victim of a daring rob bery and vicious assault last Sun day night. Dr. Thomas was return- the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure, Prescribed by Physicians. No one should confound Hyomei with patent medicines that are advertised to cure catarrh. It is as far supe rior to them all as the diamond Is more valuable than cheap glass. Their composition is secret, but Hyo mei gives its formula to all reputable physicians. Is it not foolish to ty*y and cure ca tarrh by swallowing tablets or liq uids? The only natural way to cure this disease and all other diseases of the respiratory organs is to breath Hyomei. This treatment has been so suc cessful, curing 99 per cent, of all who have used it, that Hyomei is now sold by Gaffney Drug Co. under an abso lute guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. You run no risk whatever in buying Hyomei. If it does not possess unusual powers to cure, it could not be sold upon this plan. Etta Jane, June 28.—The North Pacolet Interdenominational Sunday School Convention met at Gethsema- ne church last Sabbath, June 26th. Eight schools, representing 552 schol ars, reported. A large and well-be haved congregation was prsent and the order of exercises was carried out to the letter. It was a model con vention, one in which each one pres ent seemed to take an interest. The house was crowded and the music was fine. The Corinth and Gethsem- ane choirs, led by Mr. Ed J. Clary, came up to the high standard of ef ficiency they have so long maintained. Most of the Sardis choir were pres ent and were led by Mr. Alfred G. Davis. They did good work in the convention. The list of the Sardis choir preset was as follows: A. G. Da vis leader; J. G. Wright, W. F.' Ken nedy, Simpson Blanton, J. R. Stroup, T. F. Stroup, R. S. Stroup, Gary Stroup, H. F. Wright, G. B. Wright, Mrs. Carrie Wright, Naomi Stroup, Mary Metcalf, Carlea Kennedy, Effie Upchurch, B. R. Metcalf, Jim At kins and Aimer Lattimore. These choirs divided the work of the morn ing session and sang alternately—not in the spirit of rivalry, but true de votion and to the admiration of their hearers. During the afternoon session they joined their forces and, led by Mr. Davis, aroused an enthusiasm seldom exhibited in a similar body of Sun day school workers. The congrega tion joined heartily and made it an occasion long to be remembered. In fact the convention work didn’t reach the high water mark of enthusiasm until the whole congregation stood and sang, “God be with you till we meet again,” and the benediction was pronounced, the gavel fell and the convention was declared adjourned, to meet at Rehoboth church on the 25th of September, 1904. As our readers at a distance will doubtless be anxious to know some thing of the work of this convention, we take great pleasure in giving that information, in part at least. Mr. William Jefferies, superinten dent of the Gethsema«.k; Sunday school, requested one of his teachers to bring the infant class before the convention and show what they were doing. The little folks took their stand in front of the pulpit and under went a rigid catechism examination on the historical and doctrinal teach ings of the Bible. Add to this the -songs they sang and you have an idea what they are doing for the youth of this country. But the cli max was reached only when little Alcie Lowery (who will be five years old next month, July 4) stood upon a seat and answered 64 questions in the child’s catechism with absolute correctness. She spoke as plainly as a child of her years could speak. She answered questions that would puz zle older people. She received the at tention of a crowded house during her examination. We might say that the fall of a pin could almost have been heard at any time during her examination, and the congregation felt like applauding her when the ex amination closed. She was prepared to go on for three more lessons. Mr. Green, who conducted the enamina- tion, stopped only when Mr. Wm. Jeff eries told him that that would do, as he supposed the people were satis fied what could be done with a child under proper care and attention. Mr. I^owery, the father of this little girl, is a poor man—a renter living on one of Col. Samuel Jefferies’ “Steen City” farms. The child has had no oppor tunity other than its home training and the teaching of Miss Jefferies in the Sabbath school. When we see the evidence of the work being done to teach the young in the way they should go we can’t help but exclaim with the Psalmist: “The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad.” The good ladies were present with their baskets and spread an abundant dinner for all present, of the best the markets and soil produce. Children’s Day Avill come off at Wilson’s chapel next Saturday. July 2. Blood Poison Followed Slight Wound and Death Came Quickly—A Short Sketch of His Life. Alas! what is man?

Simms said: “Fred Stacy was born near this place on December 19th, 1857, and would, therefore, have been forty- seven years old this coming Decem ber. Along with those who grew up during and at the close of the Civil war, he knew hardship in his early days; but he bore that hardshrip with the spirit of coming manhood. To get an education he would come into town and bring several days’ pro visions with him, living on this cold food until it was gone. Later he worked in the winter and went to school in the summer until he pro cured that knowledge which enabled him to become a successful and an honored citizen. More than twenty- five years ago he went into business relationship with Mr. J. A.
