Plato Green, son of Rev. Preston Green, is sick and we fear that he has the bilious fever. Owing to part of the people not be ing able to attend the picnic at Piedmont Springs on July 16th, the picnic was repeated July 23rd by those who were not at the other one. We learn that they had a very nice time. The pastor of Bethlehem Baptist church commenced a series of revival meetings last Saturday, which is ex pected to last two weeks. It has every prospect of being a glorious revival. Prof. Howes’ school at Antioch has reached an enrollment of thirty-three interested pupils.

Etta Jane, July 26.—The picnic at the school house last Saturday was a very enjoyable affair, and we wish to congratulate its promoters and friends upon their success. Also to thank the audience for the good order main tained. The day was an ideal one. The overhanging clouds shut out the scorching rays of the sun and the balmy breeze lent its influence to the pleasure of the occasion. Rifts of clouds, dark and lowering, rolled up from the west during the early morning and spread their man tle over the scene with a slight sprinkle of rain falling now and then, not enough, however, to wet any one, but enough to frighten, and doubtless did keep some away. However, the grounds were practi cally covered by lb o'clock a. m., and they continued to come until 12 o’clock m. A large and commodious arbor an.l speakers’ stand had been built and furnished with seats for the occasion. While the people were assembling, Mr. “Bud” Watson, with his grapho- Converse Chronicles.

Disappointment in love is, said by some to be the cause of his act, and by others it is thought that his brain we affected by cigarette smoking. Notice was given the secretary of State Tuesday by the Catawba Power Co., of an increase in the capital stock from $750,000 to $850,000. This com pany is building an enormous plant not far from Rock Hill that will sup ply the town of Charlotte and sur rounding territory with lights and power for various enterprises. Dr. W.

Dr. Smith, of Glendale, was in town yesterday on professional business. It is currently reported that Mr. M. W. Walker, of Glendale, has been urged by his friends to make the race for the legislature. Should he de cide to do so w’e have no hesitency in predicting that he will be nominated on the first ballot. He is a success ful business man and w'ithal a typical Christian gentleman. Mr. F. P.

The old time singing at Cannon's Camp Ground last Sunday, of which mention was made in our last letter, was a success. The next convention will meet at Liberty church on the second Sunday in August.

The deal is a $50,000 one, and the lease holds for ten years. The j new firm will take charge of the busi ness at once. Dugan ft Sheftall have been handling the White Stone water for a year past and they are gratified with the demand for it in their section of Georgia.

D. E. Finley ar rived. when the meeting was called to order and Rev. John G. Farr, of Union, opened the proceedings with prayer. Sam J. Strain then made the wel come address, as follows: Ladies, Gentlemen, Friends and Fel low Citizens: To appear before you as the chosen representative of this glorious band of Sunday school workers, over whom I have the honor to preside, and in their behalf to welcome you on this happy occasion, I deem one of the highest honors they could confer upon me, and I shall attempt to perform that duty with words of warmest feelings and an intense regard for you affection. What language can express the thousand thoughts that come surg ing through my very soul at the sight of this vast assemblage? Who is it that doesn’t feel the majestic thrill that vibrates through every link of this adamantine cordon of brother hood ? As i look into your faces I can read in your countenances the contempla tive state of your minds. The lambs have been gathered from the Ionian hills and brought into the shepherd’s fold and are being fitted for the Mas ter's service. What a glorious heri tage, and they are worthy of it! We welcome you with open hearts to his our annual Children’s Day, and to all the pleasure it will afford you. May you in after years think of this as one glorious day you spent within the walls of old Salem church. See on your right hand the banner under which these, with not less than fourteen million other children of the United States, rally from Sabbath to Sabbath. That banner brings to our minds the thought that under it today no less than twenty-five million chil dren throughout Christendom are marching against the battlements of the* evil one. It calls to mind, too, the greatest sacrifice* ever made that man's redemption might be com pleted. In letters of blood it tells of Gethsemane and Calvary, but thank God after all it waves in triumph over the empty tomb of a risen Saviour. On your left hand hangs the "Bon nie Blue Flag,” together with the symbol of our national power and lib erty. The former has been snatched by the* hand of fate from among the symbolical emblems of nationality, but it tells of a race, a people and a struggle of which the world is not worthy. The other, “the Stars and Stripes.” float as proudly over our American homes and institutions to day as when General Andrew Jackson waved them over New Orleans, or when General Winfield Scott carried them into the city of Mexico. They were planted in a soil enriched by the prayers and tears of women and are embalmed in our hearts with the _ 1 precious lilies of memory. To you, Hyomei Goes to the Root of the Dis- 1 <>ne and all. surrounding nature says Girls Betrothed at Birth. In some parts of West Africa the girls have no long engagements. On the day of their birth they are be trothed to a baby boy a trifle older than themselves, and at the age of I twenty they are married. The girls know no other way of getting a husband, and so they are cpiite happy and satisfied. As wives dirt chimney, batten door, with wood en hinges( if it had any), and last, but by no means least, that indispen sable birchen functionary which stood in the corner only to be weilded when necessary by a sturdy hand in order that obedience to the rules and re spect to whom it was due might be maintained. All these are presumably superceded by a higher, and in most cases, a better order of things. Teach ers have better opportunities for do ing good work, and the children are made comfortable with good varm school houses, better lighted and ven tilated, and every other convenience and improvement that the experience of the past could suggest. He congratulated the people upon the unanimity with which they had gone to work to build up their educa tional interests, and thus to advance the general prosperity of the whole country. Speaking of the two races he said that the white people owned ninety- three per cent, of the property of this country. Of the population of South Carolina only about forty-three per cent, were white people. Of those, fourteen per cent, could neither read nor write. This state of affairs must and will be changed if the people will only awake to their duty. After congratulating the people up on the prosperous outlook which neither time nor occasion would per mit him to go into a general and thorough discussion of, he reminded his hearers that the best part of the day’s proceedings was yet to take place. He felt like he had already talked too long, and that no doubt many were feeling just like he was— “somewhat dinnerish.” After thank ing the people for the honor they had conferred on him by inviting him to make an address, and expressing the pleasure it gave him to do so, and to meet with them and lend a helping hand to the work of upbuilding this country, he took his seat amid ap plause. Four long tables, forming a square, were loaded down by the good women who brought their baskets, trunks and boxes filled with choicest edibles, to which was added a large amount of nicely barbecued meats—pork, beef, and hash—prepared especially for the occasion. The ladies and small children oc cupied the square inside of the tables while the men and boys stood on the outside. When all was arranged. Rev. John G. Farr, in an impressive manner, invoked the Divine blessing on the occasion and all present. Then all went to work to refresh the inner man. When dinner was over the whole crowd resolved itself into an immense social circle, each enjoying himself as best suited his taste. During the afternoon Hon. W. Jud- son Sarratt and Rev. John G. Farr were called upon and each made an address on the occasion. They were listened to attentively. Several can didates from our own and adjoining counties were present, but they pre ferred to remain silent onlookers rather than to make speeches. For a general picnic occasion it surpassed anything of the kind we have had for many years, if ever be fore. Everything was conducted on a high plane. Respect for the feel ings of refined ladies and cultured gentlemen was apparently the ultima tum of every one present. For one, we are proud of our com munity and its future prospects, and we hope to see the good work go on ami on until our whole county will become one solid compact body, whose highest ideals will be exempli fied in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of mankind.

Catarrh cannot be cured by the use of pills, liquid medicines and so-called system tonics. Under such treatment the germs of the disease will still live in the air passages and increase and multiply. Hyomei is the only scientflc and thorough way to cure catarrh. Kill 1 Ing the germs in the air passages, it enters the blood with the oxygen, de stroys the microbes in the blood and effectually drives from the system all traces of catarrhal poison. Probably the strongest evidence that can be offered as to the powers of Hyomei to cure catarrh is the fact that the Gaffney Drug Co. will agree to refund the money if you say Hyo mei has not cured you. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1.00 and consists of an Inhaler that can be carried In the vest i»oek- et, a medicine dropper and a bottl'd of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a lifetime, and if one bottle does not cure, an ex tra Ixdtlo of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents. “welcome, welcome.” Each flee ing bird that mounts the lofty tr?c top sings “welcome! welcome!!” The gentle breeze as it comes from the bosom of the great Atlantic mur murs "welcome, welcome."

Hon. D. E. Finley was then intro duced. and for about forty-five min utes he held his atidience spellbound while he dealt with his subject in a masterly manner.

Editor The Ledger:—Will you al low me a small space in your paper for a few lines concerning the town of Gastonia, N. C., and the surround ing country? We have a nice, booming little town. We have nine cotton mills, and they are all running on full time, some of them running at night. The town is building fast and seems to be on a boom in every line of busi ness. We also have about ten or twelve Sunday schools. I am employed in the Ixiray mill, weaving department. Mr. Austin is superintendent, Mr. John Byars over seer of spinning: Mr. Lindsay over seer of the card room: and Mr. S. C. Whittaker overseer of the weave room. Everything about the mill is moving nicely. In the surrounding country, what I have seen of it, the farms are look ing very well and the farmers are about through work. We had a most welcome blessing last night in the way of a good, easy pouring-down rain, which all were glad to see. I hope to be able to give you a bet ter letter next time. J. P.

Kimbrougu were arrested on the yards of the Southern Railway in Asheville Sun day by Chief of Police Jordan and Pa trolman Wilson. When the officers made the arrests they thought they had taken two men—the woman was dressed in a suit of black clothes, her hair was cut close and she looked to be a boy of 18 or 20 years of age. Her statement revealed the fact that she was in disguise, and also that she was the same person who had won considerable newspaper notoriety in Charlotte and Knoxville. The man paid the fines of both. At 4:10 o’clock Monday afternoon nine prisoners escaped from the coun ty jail at Dallas, and are at large. Two of the prisoners were white and seven were colored. One negro, who was blind, failed to get away. From the best information it seems that the negro porter recently employed failed to bar and lock the doors se curely. When the prisoners found hat the doors were insecurely fastened they made a rush past the guard. Mrs. Armstrong, wife of Sheriff Arm strong. saw them rushing down the stairs and gave the alarm. At last account none of the prisoners had been caught. Five corporations were chartered Tuesday with capital aggregating $126,000. Whitt, Morgan Co., of Greens boro, $25,000 capital subscribed by J.

The Old “Harrington House.” Clifton. July 25.—In a recent issue of The Ledger a correspondent re quested information concerning John Harrington, whose grave he had found near Wilkinsville. Of John Harrington himself we are unable to give any satisfactory statement, but near the place of the grave a family of that name, from Virginia, once set tled and remained for several years. He was evidently a member of that family. If we are not mistaken the family at length returned to Virginia. The old "Harrington house,” as it was pretty generally termed, was al most as familiar to the writer as the place of his own birth—having known it since about the year 186. Once it was the home of Mr. Mickleberry Hughey, whose family were fond of social amusements, and the house was a great resort for pleasure seekers during holiday seasons. But farther back in its history (which we think was in the thirties), a scare was gotten up in the neigh borhood from a report that the ne groes had arisen in rebellion at Un ion and were going out in all direc tions. killing the white population, burning, murdering and plundering as they went. This caused a general alarm ,and all the women and child ren in the neighborhood were taken to the Harrington house and quarter ed for safety under a strong, vigilant guard. Here they remained for three or four days, while the men went to Union to help suppress the insurrec tion. Two of the mothers who refu- geed to this place at that time, with Tom Hannah, a negro 20 years old. was electrocuted at the power house of the Asheville Electric Company on the French Broad Monday afternoon about 6 o’clock. Hannah was in the employ of the electric company as a j rington family In common laborer and Monday was set ; many of whose j while vacant, was blown down by a j violent storm of wind.
