The Howell's Kerry Cnaiu Mill at liottoni of the Klver Despite KlTorts to Kalse It. . Snggestiou to Ministers About Kevival Me-tlngS'-Other News Items. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, July 10.—At no time sluce the year set iu have the farmers been so hardly pressed with their work as they are this week. Crops are looking very well, especially cot ton, where it has been well worked. Rut such a small acreage of it has been worked|properly that it’s hardly a drop in the bucket. Rev. M. Marion was too unwell to fill his appointment at Salem last Sabbath. The C. E. Society met at Mr. W. C. Blackwelf’s last Sabbath aud elected new officers for the next six months. Mr. J. Ran Warmoth, of Hickory Grove, was on this side of the river on business this week. We hope “Ran” will continue bis letters to The Ledger and let us know how his section is getting along. Garden vegetables are plentiful just at this time and if the rains will come as often as needed and no dis aster comes upon them, there will be plenty of them till fall. About tea or fifteen bands met at Howell’s ferry last Saturday and tried to get the chain out of the river, but failed. The prospects are that it will remain there for some time yet, if not always. Dr. L. J. Wood makes his visits to see Mrs. John Foster regularly and she is getting on as well or even bet ter than was expected. We are glad to hear a good report from Rev. Mr. Wray’s meeting at Gaffney and hope how much good it will do and long the results may last. Some people are disposed to think the world is getting worse and that everything that tends to elevate mankind spiritually, morally and intellectually is going down. But we don’t see it in that light. While we admit that none of us are as good as we ought to be or could be, yet there are those who have high aims to a better life. Those who are not of that class, are, of course, not in it (to use a slang phrase). They are just as good and wise aud useful as they ever care to be. We hope our ministers will pardon us for suggesting that each of them begin his revival meetings tbiasum- mer with a text something like this: “Cleanse thou me from secret faults,” Psalms 19:12. Let each speaker and hearer make this the centre of his thoughts aud confine himself to au individual heart search ing, and good will result from it. What we all need is an inward ex amination of self rather than an out ward examinatiOD of others. We are inclined to stamp out the sins of other people rather than to get rid of our own, are more interested about other people than we are of ourselves. We must let the drunkard, the liar, the thief, the blasphemer, the Sab bath breaker and every other fallen creature severely alone until we get right with God ourselves, and then a tidal wave of love and mer cy will bear our petitions to a Throne of Grace where they will be answered. Let us turn our eyes in wardly with the same desire to find the faults, defects and spiritual de formities of our own hearts and lives that we do to find them inothers. Some people can sit back compla cently and shout ‘Amen’ when the minister hits neighbor Jones a hard lick, but when he strikes them in a tender spot they turn white about the gills and remain as dumb as an oyster. A short time ago we gave a remedy for getting rid of flies. The types made us say the “best” rather than the “lasf’remedy, which our readers will please supply for we don’t wish to get into the dilemma that the edi tor of the Union Times did for pub lishing it and then laughing at others who tried it, as he did, and got fool ed. Some people are astonished to think that Senator Tillman has found out that Col. Hoyt is a democrat. He, perhaps, didn’t think so last summer when Col. Hoyt was advo cating prohibition. It is an old maxim that “a wise man will change his opinion sometimes, but a fool never does.” The Millwood boys, Tom, Cal and Henry are working the Tolleson place at the junction of the Howell’s ferry and Smith’s ford roads. They have the best cotton on the land we have seen there since the land was fresh. They are good workers and farmers. They are sons of Mr. Morgan Millwood, who now lives near the Cowpens battleground and who, by the way, Is a good farmer bimaelf. But “Morg” don’t stand in with the prohibitionists. He believes lo a man taking a dram whsn be gets ready, provided he drinks It like be does— in moderation—-for he does despise to see a man make a dog of hlmBelf.

Cotton blooms are getting quite common now and several have been sent in to this office within the last few days. Rev. J. M. Bridges, of Algood, who is maxing things move on the farm this year, sent us in a red blos som a few days ago which he said he could have sent|several days before but hadn’t time to fix it up, being so busy with other matters of much more importance than sending cot ton blooms to a newspaper. Mr. Bridges is a pusher in everything he undertakes, and is is not surprising that he was among the first to have blooms on his cotton plants. Mr. Jesse Pinson, one of the lead ing citizens and planters of the Thickety section, was also among the first to send in a cotton blossom to this office. It came from the crop of Joe Easier who is a tenant on Mr. Pinson’s place near Tbicketj. All the blooms sent in were red except one, which was white. They were all of good size and denoted a healthy condition of the cotton from which they were taken. Cherokee farmers are as progressive as any in the land, and we heard of some who had blooms a week before any were sent to this office. Mr. R. C. Thompson, of onr city, was among the number who had the earliest} blossoms ou their cotton. Mr. Collins Improving. Mr. J. D. Collins, who was shot in Spartanburg last week, is still im proving and bis chances for recovery are now considered good. Mr. Collins is a first cousin of Mrs. J. C. Ratliff, of this city, and as soon as the news of the shooting reached her both ahe and Mr. Ratliff imme diately went to the bedside of their suffering kinsman to administer to hie comfort and devote themselves to nursing him back to health and strength.

(Correspondence of The Ledger-) Blackshurg, July 11.—Charles Louis Kingsley, chief Civil Engineer of the South Carolina and Georgia Extension Railroad Company died at this place Wednesday aUsrnoon from the effects of morphine and laudanum administered by himself. That he contemplated self destruc tion is very evident from a number of things, but especially from the signed memorandum which he left. It was written in pencil and covered five sheets of whst resembled re porters paper, and while perhaps some of the notes or memoranda seemed satirical, many were clear and business like, as for instance that relative to the amount due him for service rendered the S. C. & G. E. R. R., and the disposition he wished made of it. The part however, that seemed strange was that in which he requested that he be buried at midnight and by four negroes, with no mourners or clergy man. Part of this request was oot carried out. He was buried on Tburslay at 11 o’clock in the Baptist cemetery without any religious cere mony and in the presence of his friends. Mr. Kingsley was originally from about Raleigh, N. C., and came to Blacksburg about 1888 in connection with the construction of the old 3 C’s road, now the S. C. & G. E. R. R. Quiet and unassuming, he was popular, not alone with the employees of the road. Possessed of fine intel lectual qualities, he was considered the best civil engineer in this sec tion of country. At the time of bis death be left only a wife and a sister. E. A. T. CROP BULLETIN. Condition of Carolina Cropt* an Reported by the Bureau. Columbia, July 9.—The week end ing Monday, July 8th, averaged slightly warmer than usual over the western, northern and central por tions, and slightly cooler over the southeastern. The daily maximum ranged between 86 and 98 degrees, while a minimum of 66 was noted at Greenville on the 1st. There was more than the usual amount of bright sunshioe. Early in the week, and again near its close, there were scattered show ers, heaviest in the central and southeastern counties, with a maxi mum rainfall of 1.99 inches at St. George, while over the northern and western counties the week was gen erally rainless. These conditions of high temperature, abundant sun shine, and absence of rain, made this this the most favorable week of the season for cultivation, nevertheless, many fields remain grassy and it will require at least another week of dry weather to clean them. Rain is needed generally for the crops, and to soften the soil, especially clayey land that dried out hard, aud breaks cloddy under cultivation. Rain is also needed to prevent further injury to crops that were damaged in rid ding them of grass and weeds. The corn crop can now safely be characterized as the poorest in many years, and over considerable areas will approximate a failure. Corn, with some exceptions, has slender stalks, is tasselling low, and not earing well. Planting bottom and stubble lands continues. Tobacco shared in the general im- provemei t during the week, but is still very poor. Cutting and curing is well under| way in all districts. Rice made marked improvement, but has not fully recovered from the ill effects of the excessive June rain fall. Peas are being extensively planted in with corn and stubble fields. Some have come up to good stands. Apples, peaches and pears continue to drop extensively, while peaches and grapes rot as they ripen. The labor situation has not improved, and continues to be a serious factor in this year’s farm economics. Cotton made a slight and general improvement, except sea-island, that improved decidedly. The plants are unusually small for the season, and are growing slowly, especially on sandy soils, where their condition is exceptionally poor. Blooms are noted over the whole State, but cot ton is not blooming as profusely as it should do at this season. It is re ported that the crop, as a whole, cannot possibly attain a normal con dition, however favorable the weath er daring the remainder of the sea son may be. WOMEN AND SOCIETY.

There was an occurrence in the city this morning which makes Fiction throw down her pen and turn green with envy, and Romance droops her head and blushes to own that she is not in it. Shortly after two o’clock this morn ing Rev. Mr. Ford, of the Cherokee Avenue Baptist Church, was aroused from his peaceful slumbers by the ringiog of his doorbell. Upon open ing the door the reverend gentleman found two figures, a male and a fe male. standing before him who soon made known the fact that they were candidates for matrimony and that they desired him to perform the cere mony at once. Mr. Ford, being a very obliging gentleman, straightway invited them into his parlor and with the ease and eloquence born of long practice and much experience in such matters, he very soon made them husband and wife. These determined young lovers were Mr. Charlie Elmore and Miss Fannie Mosely, both of this city. They are both very popular among their acquaintances, and they truly deserve all the happiness and pros perity that their friends hope may attend them through life. Rainfall for June.
