Upchurch, of Mercer, pick ed 502 pounds of cotton for James R. Service on Monday the 3rd inst. We are glad to know that Arthur 1 Hopper, who has been quite ill for three weeks, is rapidly improving. Keep in mind the chrysanthemum show which is to bo held soon. The date and premium list will be publish ed later. The fall and winter openings of 1 millinery and dress goods have begun ; in Gaffney, and the merchants are showing many new things in both lines. Mr. N. Lipsomb says his ad. in The Ledger for a cow brought him several offers in a day or two. This shows The Ledger is the paper to put your ads in. Several bales of cotton were brought to this market yesterday and sold. The market opened at 9:80, but by the afternoon the price had gone to 9Ts- ' C. T. Clary, who has been acting as relief agent at King’s Mountain, N. ( . for the past, three weeks, has return ed to the city to resume his old posi tion as chief clerk at this point. The office of the Southern Express Company, which is now in the Parish Hotel, will be moved into a room in the new Settlemyer building in a few days—probably by Thursday or Fri day. Revs. George and Johnson are con ducting a meeting in a tent on the square opposite Carroll, Carpenter A- Byers. The meeting began Friday night and will probably continue for a week or two longer. Lester Smith, of Cowpens, picked <;03 pounds of cotton in about ten hours. Mr. Smith is a daisy when it comes to picking cotton. If all cotton pickers could keep up with him there would be no necessity for a cotton picking machine. Mr. A. Roliortson has instilled a neat little kerosene engine in his upper market on Limestone street. He will use the engine to run his sausage mill, and during the summer months he intends to attach a large fan to it to keep his entire market , cool. Cut With a Razor. Yesterday evening about 0 o’clock there was a cutting scrape out in the northern part of the city, all the par ticipants being colored. The particulars, as we learn them, are about as follows: Joe Russell and a woman named McCullough were walking together when they were met by Lucy Russell, the wife of Joe. who it seems, had tired of her affections and had sought more congenial com pany among others of her sex. As soon as the three met, Lucy at once made known her ‘ disapproval of her husband’s conduct in language pro bably more forcible than polite; whereupon, tho McCullough woman attacked her with a razor and cut her badly about the head and neck. It was said that Joe held his wife while she was being cut; but surely that can’t bo true. The wounded woman was taken at once to the Cherokee drug store, where Dr. Jefferies dressed and sew ed up the cuts, and made her as com fortable as possible. Joe and the McCullough woman are both in jail awaitng the result of Lu- i ey’s injuries. If You Sell your Cotton Don’t carry the money around with you or hide it away at home ; that is unsafe.
