MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. BLACKSBURG BUDGET. People Going and Coming Beyond the Broad.

Has anybody We would like to see a mob attempt to take a prisoner from Sheriff Thom-1 as or Capt. Otts. We would be will ing to bet that at least one member of the gang would look like a pepper box after the outcome. • • * The county campaign so far is; rather tame. We give room on the first page to the report of the Blacks burg meeting as sent by one of our correspondents from that place. Mr. Trescot is an entertaining chronicler of facts. • • * The indications are that the Demo crats have a fighting chance this year, but it’s going to take hard work, ( and plenty of it to dislodge the Re- j publicans, and he who thinks other wise would do well to disillusion him-, self at once. * * * The object of all persons at all times should he to do that which is right. We know how short we fall in many things, but 'hat is no excuse for not having a high ideal. We all think more of a good man or woman than we do of a bad one, though we be bad ourselves. The highest ideals of manhood are not too high to aim at, so let all aim at the highest though we miss the mark. * * * And still they continue to come in and sign the call for the election on the dispensary question. The list in this office has nearly six hundred names on it, and we have not solic ited. personally, a single signature. We want 'lie people to act volunta rily in this matter, and if the dis- pensaryites want a fair and untram meled expression at 'he polls, all they have go to do is to refrain from pre cipitating the war. If they desire war, however, they will get it good and strong. The manhood of South Carolina depends upon some disposi tion of the whiskey evil and, when necessary, men will not be found lack ing to fight the battle for temperance and sobriety. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest. Etta Jane. Aug. 20.—Large congre gations continue to attend the meet ing at Mesop itamia, which is ex pected to close tomorrow night, when Messrs. Leitch and Marshall will move to and begin another meeting at Clinton. The meeting at Sardis result! J In twenty-nine joining the church, and there were three additions at Wil son’s Chapel. What number will join Mesopotamia cannot be told just now. But if present indications stand for anything tln-re will be a spiritual streugthenirg among the member ship. not only of the Methodist but of all other churches, which have been well represented at each ser vice. Only those who are acquainted with Bro. Leitch and his methods can i imagine the commotion among the attendants. There is nothing like undue excitement. Everything indi cates a calm and forcible manifesta tion of the Holy Spirit moving among the people. The preaching is fine and the music excellent. Rev. J. B. Wil son has been present and busy at each serv'oe. Among the congrega tion there yesterday were people from Blacksburg to Union, and all in termediate points along that line. Miss Jayne Bell left for her home at Blackstocks yesterday morning. She has made a good impression upon those with whom she met during her stay In our midst. Dr. L. R. Black is nursing a sore hand.

Timber Ridge and As bury people have been attending the meeting and asking an interest in ' the prayers of God's people. These rue not confined to one denomination more than another, but to all alike and particularly to those who have I no church connection whatever. It's a glorious uprisng of the Christian spirit and a season of rejoicing in al most every home in this community. Our thanks are due Mr. Morgan Millwood for some of his nice oanta- 1< ,.0,0, which our freind Will Sawyer. ! one of the Catawba Indians, who works with Mr. Millwood, left at our home yesterday. Will is a true type ’ of the Red man who once owned this i country, only he is civilized and one . ot our best law-abiding people. Now that the public is seriously ■considering the liquor problem before I it, \ve are reminded of what the great apostle of prohibition. Neal Dow, said to the Maine legislature, who thought that prohibition would be impossible. •Impossible! said he. "then we will make it possible." And that noble man made Ins influence felt through out the Pine Tree State, and the bill ! was engrossed on the statute books of Maine, as a fruit of that determined ! resolution. When Napolean was informed by , his engineers that it would be impos sible for him to cross the Alps with his artillery and horses, replied, "There shall be no Alps! Impossible is only found in the dictionary of fools." and at the head of an army of ' Jn.oiiii he ordered the advance, crossed the Alps and swooped down upon Italv like an Alpine eagle. J. L.

At one time when Blacksburg seemd to be in a hole, Henderson came to the bat and rapped the hall out to deep center for three hags. This set the crowd fairly wild for the plucky little pitcher. Belue, F., did some nice work be hind the hat and all the out-fielders played good ball. The Gaffney boys played fine ball, but they found out from the very first that they were up against the real stuff. The line-up was as follows; Blacks burg—Henderson, p., Belue, C.
