A negro, Sam Byas, was committed to jail Monday in Charleston for at tempting to poison his wife. The ne gro is alleged to have put a quantity of lye into the woman’s drinking wa ter. Information was received in Char leston Monday ol another* tragedy at Meggetts. Thomas Simons, colored, killed Mamie Adger, a negress, and succeeded in making his escape. The officers are hunting for Simons but cm account of the swampy character of the section it is a hard matter to search the woods for criminal. Another new disease of the cotton plant has sprung into existence. This time the cry comes from Pickens. It is neither boll weevil, blight nor rust, but it kills the plants. First the roots seem to die. This causes casting and soon nothing but the bare stalk re mains. Several acres are now af fected and the disease is said to be spreading. The Pacolet Manufacturing Co.’s No. 3 mill, at Pacolet, destroyed by flcKul last year is again in condition for operation and will at once begin manufacturing. The company has had site cleared for the erection of No. 5 mill, but will probably not be gin construction work until next year. Lockwood, Green & Co., of Boston, Mass., are the mill architects and engineers in charge. K Preparations are being made by ^the attorney general’s office for taking up the suit against the Southern brought to test the consolidation of the S. C. and G. road with the South ern. The suit was filed in Kershaw county, and under the law takes prec edence over all other cases and will come up in October. It is not known yet whether the case when started will be a jury or an equity proceed ing. Kings Creek Items. Kings Creek, Aug. 22.—Miss Kate Love, the Hamburg school teacher, has arranged and appointed a picnic at the close of her school, Wednes day, August 31st, at Hamburg school house. She gives a cordial invitation to any and all that will come and bring well filled baskets. Come and show her that you appreciate her in vitation and I can assure you that she will appreciate your being there. The place selected is a nice and suitable one for such an occasion. Last Wednesday, a short while af ter Mr. Oliver McSwain returned home from the picnic at Antioch, he and his family were frightened by a mad dog, which bit his dog and then left. He at once mounted his mule with his gun and followed it. He overtook it at Mr. E. B. McSwain’s and killed it. Mr. McSwain’s sawmill and all other business industries will be stopped for the association. The people of Antioch have worked the roads and fixed up in general their homes and surroundings for the association. Several of the people of this neigh borhood are complaining, but none are seriously ill. Some of the farmers began pulling fodder today, but it will be about a week or two before much will be ready to pull. Watermelons continue fine and plentiful here. ‘ Picnic Enjoyer.” A NEWSY LETTER FROM ETTA JANE. TEDDY'S CONDUCT A FAVORITE TOPIC. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE.

First Baptist Church Notes. Dr. Simms will fill his pulpit next Sabbath morning at 11 o’clock, but there will be no service at night. All the congregation and friends are therefore invited to be at the morning service. Next week Dr. Simms expects to begin his vacation. Rev. W. R. Potter arrived in the city this week, but will leave aga i Saturday to hold a meeting at Moore’s, in Spartanburg county. Reg ular services will be resumed at the Presbyterian church on the first Sab bath in September. A suit for $1,999 has been filed against the Southern Railway in the ciqicit court in Columbia by H.

Revival services will be held at 4:30 and 8.15 p. m. daily during the week. There will be no service Mon day at 4:30. All are invited to attend these ser vices. The Christian people of all the churches are requested to join in their prayers for a spiritaul blessing on Gaffney. Rev. T. G. Herbert, of Greenville, will assist in the revival services.

A little thing sometimes results in I death. Thus a mere scratch, insig nificant cuts or puny boils have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Bucklen’s Arnica Salve ever handy. Etta Jane, Aug. 24.—In his splen did write-up of the opening of the county campaign at Blacksburg, Mr. E. A. Trescot shows his wonderful proficiency as a newspaper reporter. It puts each candidate with his plat form fairly before the people. While it is a help to the candidates, it is highly appreciated by the people, and so it should be. We regret to learn through private means, that Rev. James Douglass, of the Presbyterian church, died at his home at Blackstocks last Sabbath evening, aged 70 years. He left a family of eight children to mourn his loss, but the writer says, “They mourn not as those without hope.” He was buried at Concord on Monday. Rev. Tom Leitch closed a series o:’ three weeks’ meetings in this town ship last Sabbath night, and the sum total of his labors is given as fifty-one accessions to the church, besides general strengthening of the church membership in the various branches of the church, irrespective of denomi national affinities. Mr. Leitch has preached some powerful and convinc ing sermons, and sinners have been convinced it not convicted, on every hand. We are informed that a new Sun day school has been organized at the new school house at Sunny Side. We wish it success. Miss Jayne Bell, who has been vis Ring in this section for several days returned to her home at Blackstocks Chester county, last Saturday. The committee of entertainment is procuring homes foar ministers and delegates who will attend the meet ing of Enoree Presbytery at Salem, October 4, next. Friends who wish to entertain delegates will please have their names and the number of delegates they want left with the chairman of the committee, who will see that they are supplied. Notice has been sent out from the postoffice department that after the 14th of September this section will be supplied with rural free delivery mail service, and that the star route service will be discontinued after that date. Rev. Mr. Hammett is conducting a protracted meeiing at Abingdon Creek church. He began last Sabbath. He is assisted by Rev. Mr. Owens. Last Saturday the patrons of the Etta Jane school met and elected Miss Bonnie McCIuney teacher. They ex pect the school to begin October 15th. They agreed to pay the teacher $10 per month. Our Mount Vernon friends had a nice Childrens’ Day and picnic occa sion last Saturday. Prof. Clinkscales, of Wofford College, made an address and highly entertained his hearers, as he has the ability to do. He also made an address at the Wilkerson school house on Sabbath morning to a large audience and preached at Mount Vernon the same day. We are sorry things were so arranged that we couldn’t attend either of those meetings and hear him. It’s a treat one scarcely ever has to listen to such a man. The county campaign meeting will be at Owens’ Ford today. Messrs. W. B. Blackwood and Dick Hughes will have a barbecue on or near the speaking ground. Mrs. Betsey Hartford is not doing so well as she has been. She is get ting quite weak. Last Sabbath Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Thomas, of Gaffney, passed through this section on their return from a visit to Chester county, where they (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Washington, D. C., Aug. 24.—The strange transformation that has taken place in Mr. Roosevelt within the past few months—his conversion from the fierce hussar, besworded and bespurred, seeking the bubble repu tation even at the cannon’s mouth, into the meek and peace-loving civilian wrapped in gentle si lence, is regarded as a mere politi cal dodge. It is assumed that wholly for the purpose of getting votes he is making a belated effort to live down his violent past. His conduct continues to be a fa vorite topic of conversation and dis cussion here in the national capital wherever politicians of either party do congregate. This assumption that Roosevelt may be doing this repression act for ef fect, may be doing a cruel injustice to an awakened and repentant man Goaded by a sense of wrong, there fore, Mr. Roosevelt may ere long burst into indignant speech and ex plain that he always was in reality the quiet, inoffensive and modestly retiring person we now behold, and that the other Roosevelt with whom the world had grown familiar was the creation of Loeb, his secretary since he became governor of New York, and who seems to be his evil genius in every way. Mephistopheles to his proper place as a simple secretary. And it is to be taken for granted also that Mr. Roosevelt will endeavor to give satis factory assurances that, in the un likely event of his election, he will be able to resist a resumption by Loeb of his magical influence over the presidential mind and conduct. Perhaps the best guaranty Mr. Roo sevelt could furnish that, if accorded four years more in the White House, he would not loop the loop backward and become again his former self, would be to discharge Loeb, or put him to death. If allowed to live and serve as secretary, his sorcery might prevail and drag from their retire ment the khaki uniform, the sword and the big stick. Freed for the time being from the malign enchantment of Loeb, Mr. Roosevelt is apparently sincerely ashamed of his past, but it is well understood by physicians that one who has been bewitched is always in danger of falling again under the spell. On the whole, therefore, it will be safer and kinder to return Mr Roosevelt to private life. The White House is not good for him. The White fects his head. Charles A. Edwards.

It is said that there is very strong circumstan tial evidence against Holt. Accord ing to a statement given by one of the officers, Holt was married in New berry about a year ago to a woman known as Lula and sometimes “Maud” Allen. They separated, how ever, after being married only a short time and it was not generally known where the woman had gone. The branch that bends lowest bears the most fruit.

We hope those of our people who are asking for a discontinuance of the dispensary will not do themselves and the cause of temperance an in justice by patronizing or even wink ing at “blind tigers,” who are ex pected to invade the county when ever the dispensary is shut up. Act as you vote, gentlemen. It’s a hun dred times better to pay for the en forcement of the law against the liquor traffic than to pay the ex penses of the murder trials growing out of it. If the people will be true to themselves there is no reason to think that the county will have to pay both to any great extent. It’s our honest opinion that every trifling negro or low down white man who can afford to take the risk in that business is now in some way en gaged in running the blind tiger, and shutting down of the dispensary will not add another name to this list of outlaws. The man who votes to shut up the dispensary and then patron izes or in any way encourages the sale of liquor on the sly isn’t much at all. J. L. 8.

Allison, Cowpens. Through the malefic influence of Ixreb, he may tell us he was fired with warlike ambition. It was Loeb who induced him to charge up San Juan Hill and shoot a craven and fleeing Spaniard in the back. It was Loeb who impelled him to make a khaki campaign for the governorship of New York. It was Loeb who prompt ed him to instruct Admiral De vey in naval matters, to insult Admiral Schley, to retire General Miles after a lifetime of military service without a word of thanks, and to flood the country with photographs of Theodore Roosevelt in his Rough Rider uni form; photographs of Theodore Roo sevelt in fringed buckskin, rifle in hand, with his moccasined foot on a dead bear, photographs of Theodore Roosevelt, cowboy, on his pony, with pistols and lariat all complete. It was Loeb who hypnotized him into delivering anti trust speeches which eventuated in no useful action, but has had the distressing effect of re pelling t*’ust checks from the cam paign fund. It was Loeb who incited to those early addresses favoring tar iff reform, which, in humbleness of spirit, he has since recanted. It was Loeb who gave him the big stick which be shook at the Spanish-American republics and in the face of the rest of the world, leaving the United States not a single friend south of the Rio Grande. It was Loeb who put him up to the absurdity of uttering hundreds of orations on purity in politics and high-minded honesty in office, and at the same time to do business right along with Quay and Addicks and Platt, or any other boss with a machine. It was Loeb who bad the limitless effrontery to supply him with the phrase, “Words are good when backed by deeds, and only so.” It was Loeb who caused him to whoop about having all the departments “as clean as a hound’s tooth,” and then to bring the investigation of the post- office to a lame and impotent conclus ion. It was I.oel> who induced him to steal Panama from Colombia, when a better route for the interoceanic canal could have been honestly ob tained. It was Loeb who instigated him to undermine discipline in the army by jumping Dr. Wood into a major-generalship over the heads of hundreds of educated officers whose lives had been spent in the service. It was Loeb who injected into his brain the fancy to have the navy down to Oyster Bay for the amuse ment of the children, but at great cost to the taxpayer. It was Loeb who, night and day, whispered into his ear the notion that it would charm tho American people to have their president model himself on Germany’s inperial War Lord. It was I,oeb who counselled him to substitute execu tive orders for laws of congress. It was Loeb who advised him to accept free special trains from favor-seeking railroad corporations, and to refuse an American flag from a Boston girl on th'‘ around that it would be unbe coming in the president to accept gifts. It was Loeb who filled him with an arrogance which did not stop short of lecturing venerable senators as if they were ignorant and naughty schoolboys. It was Loeb who inspired him to hector and blame and praise and exhort, as if all wisdom and vir tue were concentrated in one person, until the country grew tired, very tired, of strenuosity and egotism apd swagger, and longed for a rest from Theodor© Roosevelt. • • • If the president shall offer his fel low citizens this explanation of why he has looped the loop from what he was to what he now wishes them to think him—the silent, thoughtful and discreet statesman—he will, of course, reveal by what means he has rescued himself from the satanic arts of Loeb and reduced that matchless Picnic at “The Furnace.” You are most cordially invited to a basket picnic at the “Cowpens Furnace,” Wednesday, August 31st, 1904.
