Benedict College, a negro institution in Columbia, will have within a few months a library building for which plans have been drawn and which will cost $5,000, the money having been donated by Andrew Camegie. Hugh Price, a Marion county far mer, died a few days ago, leaving an estate worth $123,000, including $23.- 000 in cash in bank. He began life without a dollar after the war, and is said to have been wholly illiterate. Capt. Wm. H. Bertless, a gallant Confederate officer of CoL Simonton’s regiment during the war, died at Port Royal Monday night, after a protract ed illness. He w’as for some years in service at the Port Royal naval sta tion and was highly esteemed. Miss Mamie Pearson, of Woodmff. has been awarded the scholarship to Winthrop College, Rock Hill, from Spartanburg county. The college gives a limited number of scholar ships each year in every connty of the state for which competitive exam inations are held.

The corporators are \V. K. Hudgens, of Pelzer, J. Thomas Arnold and G. H. Mahon, of Greenville. Wm. J. McIntosh, 40 years old, the flower and seed dealer of Charleston, •who on Sunday was pronounced dead in New York and apparently came to life a short time afterward, died Tuesday night at the Hudson street hospital in that city. The physicians at the hospital have been unable to diagnose the cause nad the coroner’s offiye has been notified. The first bale of new cotton, which was taken to Charleston on Saturday, consigned to F. W. Wagener & Co., from H. C. Folk, of Bamberg, was sold Monday to the Goldsmith Mercantile Co. for 12 cents. The bale weighed 445 pounds and was classed as fully middling. The bale is eight days ahead of the first bale of last year and 11 days later than the first bale of the year previous. Will Anderson, a negro railway employee, was seized wPh a violent attack Monday afternoon while ca rousing and drinking with a crowd in depot flat in Spartanburg and it is believed he was the victim of a black conspiracy to drug him and rob him. Physicians were called in and Ander son was carried to his home where at last account he was still suffering great agony and is in a precarious condition. The three other negroes who were with Anderson are being held on suspicion. Because the pastor, Rev. L. M. Roper, wanted Mrs. T. A. Brooks, who was sent to Spartanburg to superin tend the putting down of the new church carpet, to have colored women as assistants in the work, and be cause Mrs. Brooks, for reasons which she stated plainly, did not wish to acquiesce in the matter, the finish ers, all white men, on the interior of the new church have struck, out of sympathy with the lady, and up tol o’clock Wednesday afternoon the mat ter was still unsettled. Rumors continue to be circulated that Eddie Kennedy, who is suspected of having killed Jacob Kind, his em ployer, in Charleston, has been ar rested, first in one city and then in another, but there is no truth in the stories. Kennedy seems to have a good start on the police and he is probably in safe quarters for a while at least. He is a northern man and it is likely that he has returned north where his accents and manners would not likely offer chances of his detec tion. as would be the case in the south. The south-bound passenger train that passed L’nion at 9 in the evening killed Fleming Hamilton, a negro, last Saturday night, breaking his neck and causing instant death. An inquest w T as held a short time after the oc currence, the Jury finding a verdict that the deceased met his death be cause if his own carelessness. From the evidence and surrounding circum stances it appears that the unfortu nate negro was under the influence of liquor, and must have been asleep on the track. He left his father’s home, less than a quarter of a mile from the scene, a very short time be fore the train nassed by. Going to the track he must have taken his seat and fallen asleep. So far as the evi- 4 dence goes the train crew were with out fault. A Beautiful Home Wedding. On Wednesday, the 10th inst., a number of relatives and friends gath ered at the home of Bro. A. Harris, the occasion being that of the mar riage of the youngest daughter of the household. Miss Nannie Harris, to Mr. Ensley Humphries.

People are flocking to The Ledger office every day to put their names on the petition to the county super visor asking him to order an election in the county for the people to vote on the dispensary—"dispensary, or no dispensary.” Up to last night nearly 4«iO had signed the copy in The Ledger office. They come from every direc tion of the county and seem to come of their own accord. We have never heard a man asked to sign it yet. One man put his name on it yesterday and said he wanted things hurried up, so the election could be had before the people began to sell cotton, and ad ded, “then all the children in Chero kee can wear shoes all next winter.” Mr. Granger Good Dead. Mr. Granger Good died at his home in the Limestone Mill village Tuesday night and was buried at Oakland cemetery Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Goode was a native of Rutherford county, N.

A telegram addressed to the chief of police of Goldsboro, was received Wednesday morning, stating that the postoffice at Clinton was broken into Tuesday night by unknown parties and robbed of about $300 in stamps and $4b in cash. Two men seen there that day are supposed to have com mitted the robbery, a description of whom is now in the hands of the po lice. The Newton Furniture Company, of Newton, made an assignment, for the benefit of creditors, Monday morning, naming P. E. Fry as assignee. The assets and liabilities are not yet known, although it is known that il.e indebtedness is large enough to make it doubtful if the assets will be suffi cient to meet it. However, t e in dividual property of the partners will likely be sufficient to pay the b dance. The Walter W. Mills Lumber Com pany. of Raleigh, is embarraf sed, the liabilities exceeding the af tets by about $30,00b. The company >wns a half Interest In the Biscoe Lumber Company, and employs ma ly saw mills. The embarrassment does not affect in any way the railroad or bank in which Mr. Mills is interested. He has written to each creditor offering to assume all the liabilities and pay every cent. The creditors appear to be willing. George Vanderbilt will manage the Biltmore estate himself in future. He will arrive early in the fall and remain until the latter part of the spring. A contract for 500 tons of coal was signed today. Col. McNa- mee, Vanderbilt's manager, vent to Seattle several months ago. Vander bilt will not appoint a successor but will take things in his own hands. Vanderbilt was displeased by the way affairs were managed. Shortages were discovered and several em ployees were dismissed. A. T. Grant. Jr., of Mocksville, has just been elected a University ap pointor for the University of Wash ington, D. C., and is duly authorized to give one worthy young man and woman a scholarship to the depart ment of law, either with the view of practicing the profession or as a part of a liberal education. Should there be no lady applicant, two young men will be appointed. A scholarship is valued at $100 and entitles the holder to free instruction from the depart ment of law until graduation, the time, however, not to exceed three years. The body of R. H. Butler, the traveling man from Reidsville, who was drowned in Northeast river, near Castle Haynes, last week, was found Tuesday floating in the river, about 200 yards from where his buggy and horse were taken from the stream Sunday afternoon. The body was dis covered by A. L. Butler, a brother of the traveling man, who came from Reidsville and joined a party in search of the body. The coroner of the county viewed the remains, but, finding no marks of violence, turned them over to Undertaker Yopp, by whom they were prepared for burial and sent on to Reidsville for inter ment.

When seen at the Etta Jane Aug. 17.—The meeting at Mesopotamina is progressing finely and much interest is being manifested in it. Rev. Mr. Leitch has preached some very impressive sermons and has apparently awakened the indiffer ent to a realiaztion of their condition in the sight of God. He makes some hard licks but they are in accord with the truth. Some things quite laughable will turn tip despite all the seriousness we can command on such occasion. Yesterday while the min ister was flaying drinking church members alive he said pathetically that he didn't mean the members of other denominations—Baptists, and Presbyterians. The Baptists liked wa ter too well and the Preshyterains were too dignified—too high and dry. At this point of the minister’s re marks a fellow with spectacles on (an entire stranger) who was sitting beside Sam Strain hunched him with his elbow and whispered, “That hits old man Strain pretty hard don’t it?” To which Sam smiled an assent, leav ing his neighbor in blissful ignorance of whom he was talking to, and giving Sam a good joke to tell at our ex pense. We want our friend, whoever he is, to feel perfectly easy over the mat ter, for it doesn't disturb our equanim ity in the least to he hit with the whiskey bludgeon or to hear whiskey drinking and drunkenness bombarded from the sacred desk or elsewhere. We are perfectly at ease on that point Mrs. Lula Tolleson and children.of Spartanburg, accompanied by Mrs. Ben McCullock and children, are vis iting friends and relatives in this sec tion. They, with ttn-ir fatlu-r, Mr. T. Jeff Hughes, spent last night with their sister, Mrs. Joe L. Estes, of this place. Our friends and neighbors are en joying a glorious season of revival meetings, while family reunions are everyday occurrences. Everybody seems to be enjoying life as we sel dom see it. Messrs. Asa Blackwell and Sam Strain, with Misses Jayne Bell and Jessie Strain, who have been visiting the family of Mr. and Mrs. Charlie A. Sparks and Mr. and Mrs. John L. Strain, of Clifton, returned yesterday highly pleased with their trip. Miss Jayne will return to her home at Blackstocks this week, much to the regret of her many friends and ac quaintances she has formed since she came to visit us. On account of the rain and threat ened storm there was no service at Mesopotamia church Monday night. But large congregations attended yes terday and last night, when Rev. Mr. Leitch preached a forceful sermon from Proverbs 1:24-25-20. As a result of the meeting at Wil sons’ Chapel last week there were thirteen accessions to the church On and after the 15th of next month (September) rural free delivery mail service will go into effect on all the routes south of Gaffney, including the loop route from Wilkinsville which covers this section. Patrons of these various routes will do well to procure and put up their mail boxes at once and be ready for the service when it begins. Some of our friends insist on us giving our views on the liquor ques tion—dispensary or no dispensary—as It is now coming before the people. We don’t suppose there is a single reader of The Ledger who doesn't already know our standing on this question. We have time and again given vent to our feelings. Prohibi tion simple, absolute and complete has been our motto for ten years. And in a measure we had to tread the winepress alone. In 1898 Rev. B. P. Robertson, with one or two others, was the only minister of the gospel who would boldly and defiantly dare to stem the current of public opinion and vote for and advocate prohibtion. T. M. Littlejohn, Esq., and a few other [imminent men in the county dared to follow the lead of the late and la mented James H. Hoyt in 1898. Notwithstanding the dispensary has honestly been considered by the best thinking and meaning men and wo men of our State the best solution of the whiskey problem, yet. notwith standing. it has from its very incep tion been nothing less than a throne of iniquity—a governmental measure founded on and sustained by iniquity. Such a throne only “frames mischief by a law,” when by its laws it pro- People and Affairs Around the Three Cliftons. Converse, Aug. 15.— Last Saturday I as the hour hand on the dial pointed to 12 o’clock, the sweet and precious i spirit of Miss Nina Bates was sepa rated from the body by death and re turned to God who gave it. Miss Bates was the youngest child of Mrs. M. J. Bates and Dr. B. F. Bates. De ceased was aged nearly eleven years. She had been confined to her room for four weeks with typhoid fever, which developed into typhoid pneumonia. All that loving hands and medical skill could do was powerless to con quer this dread malady. The funeral was conducted from the residence yesterday by Rev. T. H.

Japs Humane and Chivalrous—Some Samples of English as Written by Chinese Scholars—Eager to Learn. Chinkiang, China, July 8, ’04. Editor Ledger: —I noticed the news in The Ledger about the war and it seems, as most all the news about this war has been—rather meagre and un satisfactory. Of course I get the lat est news here from the Shang hai Daily. The Japs have fought and won three great fights so far, besides what they have done on the sea. Sympathy is very strongly with Japaa out here, and it seems to me rightly so. for they are brave, clean, humane, chivalrous, and are fighting for right principles. I do not think that can be said of Russia in every particular. So far as human sight goes it looks as if Japan will win, and if she does it will give civilization and throw open the door for Christianity to’ about half the population of the globe in a more effective manner than it has ever been done. Moreover it would open up avenues of trade loan enormous amount. The most orien tal of the Western nations is now engaged in war with the most occi dental of Eastern nations. 1 usually get my paper every morn ing about breakfast time. It comes the night before. It lies in Shanghai all day before it starts up river, and then it takes two nights and a day to reach me. So you see we do not have much of a ’’move on us” out here. It took my helper with his wi&r and mother about two weeks to move to a country place thirty miles away from here. I heard the other day that he had arrived. Time is the? cheapest commodity out-jn these parts Kb he bad- I want to give you as a matter of little amusement some samples of English as she is wrote. Some boys went from here to Shanghai to school. They have been writing to me. One writes: "I am sen! a letter to you in a few weeks ago Whether you re ceived it or not? Bui 1 have not get ting any answer by you. Hoping God will blessings you and Mrs. Crocker. Last week Mr. R., who has came back from Chinkiang. He told me about Mrs. Crocker was born a little baby. Now is quite well at Chinkiang. So I am very glad to hear that so delight ful a message.” That is part of his letter. In another letter he says: “My brother came Shanghai in a few days ago. Now he is go back to Chinkiang. But he is most honest man. He knows I had believed the doctrine of Jesus. He cannot gets the good opportunity when he lives home. Now I want to ask you. If you have any ways give he a employ ment in Chinkiang. Then he can gets the protestant doctrine. So I make you know, if you please.” These same boys, three of them in all, disobeyed their teacher, and alto gether acted in such a manner that they left school. I give you a sample of their apology to the teacher. One says: “It is about one week since I left school and came to Chinkiang. Now 1 write a letter to you. First, please forgive our sins, which is dis obey you, and Mr. Lau. I am very sorry for I got these mistakes, and I hope you will truly forgive me in these. Please read it in your school before them for me. I do not want to hate you, but I do not know that you are treat me kindness now I am re turn my mind to think that I am to do wrong before you. so I write a let ter to you true meaning.” Another one says: “It is now five days since I left school and came to- home, and we have told Mr. Crocker about what I done in your school. But he says that I am to do wrong ow your school, which is disobey your teacher. Now I have return my mind to think about it, for that I am very sorry for these. Please forgive me for these. Hope you are as well as I am.” The third one says: “I left your school for four days. I think you are quite well there. Thank our Lord. 1 am very peace coming hack Chinki ang. I told Mr. Crocker what I dohe- He says to me ’that you disobeyed your teacher, that is your wrong.” Now I am knowing that is my errors. So I want to write to you. Please' pardon me that I have errors. Before that, because I do know what I done it is bad. Now 1 know that is should ! not. Please excuse me for my peni tence.” Now do not blame if you do not understand these letters. Mine is* only to transcribe. A great many Chinese seem very eager to get English.
