At the quarterly meeting of the Co
lumbia chamber of commerce Tues
day night the river navigation com
mittee reported that unless a com
pany was organized with a capital of
from $12,o00 to $15,000 for The pur
pose of Isiilding a boat to put in the
river, the matter of river navigation
for Columbia had better l>e abandoned
for the present. A meeting of busi
ness men to organize such a company
* will be called in a few days.
If the present ratio of Increase
keeps up in fertilizer taz returns,
Cle.mson College will get not far from
$120,000 this year. Up to September
10th the State treasurer lias received
from tiiis source $102.2110.70, against
$91,299.05 for the same date last
year. The income for the entire fiscal
year of 1903 was $98,909.80, which
shows that the increase in the hist
throe months of the year was about
$7,000, most of the fertilizer having
b<^e i purchased.
A terrible accident occurred at the
Olympia mill,, Columbia, at 1 o’clock
Tuesday, due to a rupture of a tube
in one of the upright boilers. One of
the firemen was fatally burned and
scalded and another may not recover.
The steam, forced with great pressure
straight downward, drove live coals
out upon Wesley Adams and "Shelton
Johnson. The two negroes were
stampeded with fright and ran sev
eral yards to the Episcopal mission
house, a sort of sanitarium, where
they were stopped and their wounds
dressed. Adams will die, and the
other negro is in a dangerous state.
The worst, storm since Oct. 20th,
1903, passed over Georgetown Tues
day and Wednesday mornings. From
a normal reading of 30.01 the barom
eter dropped Tuesday night to 28.95.
The wind began to rise at about 9
o’clock, coming from the northeast in
gusts that increased in violence each
hour accompanied by heavy showers
of rain and attained a maximum ve
locity of about 81) miles an hour near
midnight. Towards morning the wind
changed completely around, blowing
strongly from the southwest. The
storm came without warning from
tho weather bureau and the rice
planters have suffered severely. A
large part of the crop being cut down
and lying in the fields. The damage
to property in town will foot up fully
$10,000. Many fine shade trees have
been stripped and uprooted. The
county has not been heard from, the
telephone lines being down. Tugs
sent to the islands report all safe.
An unusual incident transpired in
the Spartanburg sessions court Wed
nesday which will afford a break
from the dull monotony of sitting un
der the stern dignity of his honor and
hearing the endless talks of the law
yers, the hesitating, stammering
statements of witnesses and the son
orous voice of the court crier. Ar
thur Salter, colored, was ararlgned
for stealing live stock. That is. Sal
ter was brought into the court room.
Just after he had been placed in the
criminal docket lie fell down and
gave vent to a number of gutteral,
groaning sounds, at tho same time
twisting and writhing his king, lank
. ^hody. Judge Gary hail a physician
Mr summoned, who, after a careful exam
ination, pronounced the negro to he
perfectly healthy. Salter refused to
go by his diagnosis, however, and
continued In a prostrate condition in
the docket, at times groaning and
howling. As the negro kept up his
game, the Judge selected the jury and
the case was tried. In the meanwhile
Salter was removed from the docket
to a bench, where he lay flat on his
back, feigning sickness. He was
found guilty. When the court asked
for him to stand up he could not lie
moved by the officers and Judge Gary
pronounced sentence on tho man as
—He lay on the bench. “Your sentence
18 months at hard labor on the
roads of Spartanburg county—this Ir,
six months additional, Salter, for
your exhibition this morning," re
marked his honor. Court officers l ad
to catch the negro by the arm and for
cibly carry him from tho court room.
A Couple of Good Shows Open the
Theatrical Season.
It has been a long time since a
Gaffney audience lias had the pleas
ure of witnessing a theatrical per
formance the equal of “The Village
Parson,” as presented at the Star
Theatre last Wednesday evening.
An interesting story told in an inter
esting manner by ladies and gentle
man ^ ho know the art of acting. It’s
a pity that more epople did not take
advantage of the opportunity to see
the play.
Miss Frankie Francis as Fern God-
lay, tin; parson’s wife, possesses dra
matic talent. With a pleasing counte
nance and good voice she portrayed
the difficult role in splendid style.
Mr. William Norton, as Rev. Tom
Godlay, was forceful and attractive.
Mr. Sam Miller, as Felix Gordon, a
nolished rogue, acted and looked the
part to perfection. The comedy was
well taken care of by Mr. Harry Smith
and Miss Marie Harcourt, while Baby
Olevia wus as sweet as she could he.
Every other member of the cast sus
tained themselves admirably.
Tho play has an interesting plot 1
ihat engages the attention of the au
dience from the start and retains it
until the end. The audience was not
as responsive at the beginning as it
might have been but when It did
warm up every climax elicited vocif
erous applause.
A marked feature was the splendid
order of the gallery. They did them
selves credit by their good behavior.
Tiie new management desires to state
hat an effort will he made to main
tain good order in the future. People
are expected to enjoy themselves
and applaud the players, but such
things as whistling, catcalls, and an
noying the audience and the players
by “smart” talk trom tho gallery, will
not he permitted in tho theatre and
anyone who indulges in this kind of
business may expect to be taken be
fore hte mayor. There is a law
against it and the law will he en
forced.
The public may not he interested in
it, bnt we cannot help saying that
Mr. George Gett, the business mana-
gor, is one of the cleverest gentlemen
wo have yet met with in the show
business.
While the business was not what
we expected and had reason to hope
for, still it showed a decided im
provement over attractions of last
season. We hope that future busi
ness will improve to such an extent
that, it will pay the management to
bring to Gaffney more attraciions of
the character of “The Village Par
son.*'

LOWER CHEROKEE.
PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.
The attraction at the Star Theatre
Tuesday night proved to be anything
else than predicted. On account of
tli(> criticism in Tuesday’s Charlotte
Observer the theatre-going public
expected to see something fierce.
The show was pleasing''and entertain
ing, if one he allowed to judge from
the applause, from beginning to end.
The work of Mr. John O’Meara as
Howlard Rent, was good, and his
bass solo, tho “Brigand Bold,” was all
right. “Waltz through life with me.”
•i song and dance by Mr. Walter Haw
ley and Miss Esther Marks was a
clever piece of work. Altogether
"A Boy Wanted” is a very pleasing
show.
Tho next • attraction at the Star
Theatre will be the Dolmar Vaudeville
Company, in polite vaudeville, next
Monday night.
They advertise ten big nets, each a
pleasant surprise. The performers
include Miss Rosalind Verene, the
beautiful vaudeville queen; Boat and
Crawford, premier vaudeville sketch
artists and luick and wing dancers;
Eugene Loudetto, famous tramp com
edian and renowned clog dancer; and
Creighton and DeCarja and other
clever male and female sketch
artists.
Grover Gossip.
Grover, N. C., Sep. 12.—E. R. John
son. of Cherokee county S. C., an old
f on federate veteran and one of our
best farmers, sold the first bale of
cotton to I). J. Keefer & Co. on Sep
tember the 9th, for 10*/£ cents per
pound. On tho same day last year
lie sold the first bale on our market
to the same parties, tho purchase
price being nv t cents per pound.
O. K.
Predicts Short Cotton Crop.
G. S. Blaek, of Lawn, a good farmer
and a close observer, was in to see
The Lodger Tuesday. He says that
eorn is good, hut that from the best
that lie can see the cotton cannot pos
sibly yield more than last year’s crop.
Mr. Black’s opinion is worth some
thing and you may rely on It that the
cotton crop of his section will be
short.
Unclaimed Pensions.
The following pension chocks are
still uncalled for in the clerk of

What is Life?
In tho last analysis nobody knows,
but we do know that it is under strict
law. Abuse that law even slightly,
pain results. Irregular living means
derangement of the organs, resulting
in Constipation, Headache or Liver
i trouble. Dr. King’s New Life Pills
quickly re adjusts this. It’s gentle,
yet thorough. Only 25c at Cherokee
Drug Co.
Wagons at Smith Hardware Co’s.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop
ular People and Short items of
General Interest.
Etta Jane, Sept. 14.—Your corres
pondent spent a good portion of his
time on the York «ide of the river
yesterday. They have fine crops
over there. The Beaverdam bottoms
have the best corn we ever saw on
them, though we have known them
all our life. Cotton, too, is fine, hut
seems to he rather late, especially on
red land.
Cotton is opening fas’ and people
are picking it out as fast as possi
ble.
Mr. Leslie Wright is getting on as
well as could be expected after the
severe spell he has had. We trust the
danger point is passed now and that
lw.! will soon be out again. He is a
worthy young man.
Some weather prophets predict an
early fall and cold winter tills win
ter. Wo will see what we do see.
There is talk of building a bridge
across Abingdon creek at tho Wofford
ford. This will supply a much need
ed convenience to the people of i hat
section, as the rural mail line will
cross there, perhaps.
Today this and the Sarratt post-
offices close to accept the rural free
delivery service,* which goes into ef
fect tomorrow. To Mr. Malcolm 1.mv-
ry has been awarded the position of
carrier and he will at once enter up
on his duty as such. All or most of
tho patrons have put up their mail
boxes along this line, which will be
known as Route No. 1 from Wilkins-
ville.
The election passed off very quietly
yesterday so far as we know. All the
candidates got a fair share of the
votes of this section, we suppose. And
while some people may not have got
their choice of men there will he no
perceptible difference in the working
of State and county affairs we don’t
suppose.
It s tho duty of every good man to
lend a helping hand to the adminis
tration of laws and try to foster the
peace ami prosperity of his country
notwithstanding some people think
differently. They are wrong surely.
Some people think because they
eaift have their way in everything
the world is growing worse. We are
not of that class of pessimists, who
are wrong often, but who are always
teachable and expect, to he so. We
want to know our duty first, then
want to try to do it.
Rev. W. 1). Hammett will, wo un
derstand, preach at Abingdon creek
church next. Sabbath and baptize
those who joined at the recent re
vival meeting there.
Land in this section is going up
every day. A few years ago that
whieli could have been bought for a
mere song has gone higher. A few
weeks ago a party authorized us to
notify the owner of a plantation
which is for sale that he would give
a certain amount cash for his place,
thinking tho word cash would he a
great, inducement to catch the trade!
But our man only laughed back and
told us to tell the fellow that he had
leceived a much better offer for it
than that and in cash, too.
While buyers perhaps see this ris
ing in price, sellers are also awake
to the same end. Ten cent cotton
usually gives rise in price to all other
commodities in the market, and we
need not make land an exception.
The farmers will not he contented to
raise the staple for less If they can
get it. And every pound raised has
cost that much if fair wages are al
lowed tlie laborer for his work.
If nothing happens this country
will gather more corn this year than
it lias had in twenty-two years. The
crop of fodder is simply enormous,
and some people are offering one-half
for the other to get it pulled and
saved. Though much of this fodder
lias burned up or rotted on the stalk
the crop is very heavy yet. The fine
weather for picking cotton has put
everybody In the field for tin* last
few days.
There will ho a meeting of thecom-
niitteo of entertainment at Salem
church next Saturday evening, when
a division of the delegates attending
the Presbytery will lie made and
homes assigned each. Those wanting
certain delegates or churches will
please send in their request by that
time, and those willing to entertain
delegates will let the same he known
to the committee by that time.

Tuesday, Ross Flake, the negro who
killed Carl Culberton near the Miami
mine last week, was given a prelimi
nary hearing before Esq. E. T. Bost,
at Concord. Flake was cut badly in
tho fight and was just now able to
get out. It was shown a clear case of
self defense and he was discharged
on a $100 bond to court.
It will not he long before the prin-
cipal cities near Charlotte will have
trolley lines connecting them with
that city, says the Chronicle. The
water power of the Yadkin and that
of the Catawba practically insures
this. Such lines between Charlotte
and Concord, Gastonia, Rock Hill and
Monroe would pay now. With the
water power available, they could ho
very cheaply operated. Going through
a well settled agricultural region,
they would get much passenger and
freight business from the farmers.
Sam Faison, a young negro who

Mr. Jefferson Lewis, of Spencer,
was struck by north-bound passenger
train No. 40 at that place Saturday
night about midnight, sustaining in
juries from which he died Sunday
night. Mr. Lewis, it is learned, had
started to the depot to meet a grown
son who was expected to arrive there
on the same train and while on his
way walked too near the railroad
track permitting the incoming train to
strike him a terrific blow in the hack
of the head. A shoulder, eight ribs
and a hip were also broken. The son,
Mr. William Lewis, witnessed the
tragedy, but failed to recognize his
father until after the train had been
stopped and an investigation made.
Mrs. A. F. Hinson, who lives at the
Continental Manufacturing Co.’s mill,
in Charlotte, was attacked by a cow
Wednesday morning and barely es
caped with her life. Mrs. Hinson had
taken the cow from the barn lot to a
nearby pasture and was in the act of
fastening the chain to a stake, when
the animal made a dash for her. She
was thrown violently to the ground,
and the animal, seemingly furious,
pounced upon the prostrate form of
tho woman. Mrs. Hinson screamed
for help and some one passing that
way drove the animal away. A phy
sician was sent for and the unfortu
nate woman was examined. It was
ascertained that no hones were brok
en, but her chest and stomach were
badly bruised. Tho cow used her
foot in causing the injuries. Tho ani
mal did not attempt to hook Mrs. Hin
son.
Tho town of Southport, located
right at the mouth of the Cape Fear
river, has been working for a rail
road for many years and at Intervals
some project springs up which gives
promise of gratifying the desire for
a railroad, hut so far no actual move
ment has over boon started In that
direction. Mr F. A. Burroughs, pres
ident of the Conway Coast and Wes
tern Railroad Company, of Conway,
S. C., writes some of the leading citi-
zens of the town that he will extend
his road to Southport if the people
there show tho proper Interest in the
movement. He will visit the place at
an early date and take the matter up
with tho chamber of commerce there
and if the proper interest is shown
something may materialize. Southport
is one of the best situated ports on
the Atlantic coast and it will prove
a splendid deep water terminal for a
railroad.
