Kings Creek Items. Kings Creek, Sept. 21.—We have had some fair weather for sometime, until last night we had a small show er, and there are prospects of rain today. Cotton is opening fast, and the farmers are picking and selling as fast as they can. One industrious farmer has sold seven bales. The young people of Antioch neigh- Mrs. Maggie Hodges, wife of George, »karhood had, and greatly enjoyed, a W. Hodges, of Spartanburg, died from the effects of injuries sustained from a fall down the steps in her father’s home, two weeks ago. Con cussion of the brain was the imme diate cause of death, and her con dition since the accident had been critical. She never regained con sciousness. from the time of the ac cident. She is survived by her hus band, father, two children, three brothers and two sisters. A Spartanburg jury has convicted Harry Dean, a young white man of that county, of murder in the killing of Miller McKinney, another young white man of the same county, about a* year ago. The killing was in the nature of an assassination, Dean hav ing met McKinney in the road and shot him down without a show. The first hearing of the case resulted in a mistrial; but the second trial last week resulted in a conviction. Judge Gary promptly sentenced Dean to life Imprisonment in the penitentiary. The case, however, will be appealed to the supreme court. William Henry Morgan and Arthur Davis, two cotton mill operatives of Greenville, were run over and killed on what is known as the Swamp Rab bit railroad in that city last Saturday. The train was running at the rate of only about five miles an hour, and go ing backward. The young men were walking in front of the train, with arms locked, and going in the same direction. The engineer says he blew his whistle and tried to stop. The young men went down without a cry. It is supposed that they were intoxi cated and failed to realize their dan- ^ ger. Sam Slater, a negro who has worked Mr. It. E. Dean, of Darlington, for some ten or twelve years, took ad vantage of his employer’s confidence and relieved him of $200 some few days ago. On the day in question, Mr. Dean ran an excursion for col ored people to Augusta and in going to the depot lie carried the above amount on his person. Finding he would not need the money he gave it to Sam, telling him to carry it to a Mr. Wilkes. Mr. Dean had trusted Sam before and so proceeded with his train, entertaining no uneasiness as to the delivery of the money. Sam stayed around town all day and it is said spent money freely. The next day he went on an excursion too, and since then nothing has been heard of his whereabouts. Henry Suber, a young negro about twenty years of age, is lodged in the Newberry jail, charged with attempt to ravish. The affair occurred early Tuesday morning on the Fred Har mon place, in No. G township, New berry county, a little before daylight. The young lady concerned is a daugh ter of Mr. Hood Merchant. It is al leged that shortly before daylight the young woman was aroused from her sleep by some one moving in he/ room who seemed to be feeling his way around and who touched her up on the face. She immediately screamed and aroused her father, who sleeps in a room opposite to hers. At the first sound the person in her room rushed out through the door in to the hall and disappeared before Mr. Merchant could reach the door of his room. The entire neighborhood was immediately aroused and tracks were found leading from the house of Merchant to a negro tenant house where Suber was found. lawn party at Mr. J. B. Hambright's last Saturday night. A very large crowd attended. Mr. Reuben and Mr. Ambrose Mc- Swain visited relatives in this section last Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Last Saturday morning a tenant house of a colored man named Rice, living near Kings Mountain, was burned, together with all the house hold furniture of the occupant, an other colored man. It was at first thought that three children were burned in it, but we learn they es caped. Mr. Love, the mail carrier for Kings Creek, has been driving a new horse for the last few days in order to let his regular mail horse rest. He lias a long and rough route and it is too much for one horse all the time. Mr. Charlie Panther moved to this section from Kings Mountain last Saturday. The farmers have begun making their molasses, and they are having very fine turnouts. • "Farmer Boy.” The Result of Judicious Advertising. The editor of this paper is gratified to learn in a recent letter from the proprietors, the Bobbitt Chemical Co., Baltimore, Md., that the new scientific remedy for Rheumatism— | “Rheumacido”—has more than doub led its sales the past year. The strong testimonials we have published from time to time show the thousands of stubborn cases cured by this remedy—and these to gether with liberal advertising in such papers as The Gaffney Lodger have made “Rheumacide” a favorite house- Perconal Paragraph* Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest Wilkinsville, R. F. D., Sept. 20.— From all appearances the equinoctial gales will be here on time. A lot of cotton is open in the field and the prices of the staple will no doubt be considerably affected by the results if they come. There is no discounting the fact that the cotton crop of this section will fall far below the expectation of our best calculators. Two months or six weeks ago the prospects were decidedly flattering. But since then there has been a change, which is at tributed to the rain and high winds that shook up the plant so as to stop its fruiting. We have no late crop only where the cotton was late in growing off. Of one thing, however, we are glad to speak, and that is that our county town (Gaffney) and its mills have afforded the best market we have heard of this season so far. This, we feel assured, they will con tinue to do (everything being equal). Last year and year before Gaffney had the reputation of being the best cot ton market in the Piedmont section, and we see no reason why it should not continue to be so. One of our neighbors, an observant man, said last fall that of the first twenty-seven bales of cotton that passed his house going to the Gaffney market, twenty-three of them were from York county. The only reason for this was the inducement in the prices. The Gaffney merchants sold heavily to York county men, while a great many Cherokee people bought goods at Sharon and Hickory Grove. People will both buy and sell where the market makes it to their interest or advantages to do so. That is right. “Competition,” we are told, “is the life of trade.” Mrs. Martin Darwin, of Kings Creek section, we learn is to visit Mr. and Mrs. Robert Smarr this week. We are also told that the Misses Darwin, of Woodruff, will acompany her. We hope they will all have a pleasant time with their Hopewell friends, who know exactly how to make people en joy themselves. Messrs. Will, Jack and Jim Smarr, of Hopew-ell, with Lathrop Dowdle and Jeff Estes, came over to Abing don creek last Sabbath to witness the baptizing of several converts who joined the church at the last meet ing. Rev. W. D. Hammett, the pastor, administered the baptismal sacra ment. That remark may he to some critic a wrong rendering of the term. Some fairly well read people say that baptism is not a sacrament, yet we will risk it. Our definition of a sac rament is that it is a holy ordinance instituted by Christ, wherein by sen sible signs Christ and the benefits of the new covenant are represented, sealed and applied to believers.. We were in town yesterday and met quite a number of friends from differ ent parts of the county. All (or most of them) report short cotton crops but unusually good corn crops. This is much better for our people than fancy prices for cotton, though the latter would be very acceptable. Yet, better consequences grow- out of the former. We hate to find that many of Russians and Japs Compared as to Principles—Rebellion in China— Missionary Work in the Orient. [Address communications for this col umn to P. O.

It is a very sensble fashion indeed, and a revival of one which existed many, many years ago. i There is no reason why cotton , should not be used for evening wear in our warm houses. Besides, “silk attire” may have been expressive of wealth once upon a time, but nothing looks so trig and fresh as a simple muslin gown, be it white, “sprigged” or in the large floral designs sprawl ing at will over the surface of the fabric.

Edward Speagle, aged 13, shot and instantly killed his 16-year-old brother, Hugh, at the Speagle home, six miles from Morganton, Saturday night.
