Happenings All Over the State Taken from Our Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Readers. Hoyt Hayes, the white man in Pick ens county who was recently con victed of the murder of his wife and sentenced to be hanged, has been re spited for two weeks by Governor Heyward. The governor granted the respite in order that he might have time to fully investigate the facts of the case. Monday night near Richardson- ville, in the western part of Saluda county, M. M. Morse was shot and in stantly killed and W. L. Henderson was wounded in the right hand, in the left arm and sprinkled with shot in other parts of the body. Both par ties were white and the weapons used were shotguns. Just how the affair was started and who did the shooting which resulted so tragically will pro bably never be straightened out It is known that bad blood has existed between the dead man and Hender son. The new dam at Clifton on Paco- let river, just above the high trestle on the Southern railway, is now about completed. The work has been in charge of Engineer Pearce who has expended his best efforts in build ing the big dam on the most scientific plan. The dam is 28 feet high, and will afford ample water for all needs it is anticipated. The mill located above on top of the hill to the west, will be run by electricity, the power de veloped through an electric drive placed at the dam. Last Thursday morning about nine o'clock while ginning on the second bale of cotton J. W. and D. W. An derson, of Woodruff, lost by fire on J D. Darbey’s old stand, a gin house press, scales, etc., with engine and saw mill. The lire was caused by friction of the shaft that ran the fan of the blast suction. When the fire was first discovered it was a small blaze, but before the machinery was stopped the fire had flashed over the lint room, through the windows and doors. Soon everything was burned to the ground and into ashes. There was no insurance. The loss of ma chinery was about $1,000. Mr. Goldsmith Thompson, a well known young man and son of Judge O. G. Thompson, of Laurens, commit ted suicide Monday night at the home of his father, five miles south o? that city, by shooting himself through the head with a revolver. He occupied a room alone and upon investigation after the startling report of the pistol at 1 o’clock at night, a member of the family found the young man in his bed in an unconscious condition with a wound in his right temple. Dr. A. J. Christopher, of Laurens, was hastily summoned, but the wounded man never rallied and died shortly before 6 o’clock Tuesday morning. He had been in ill health some time and had become despondent, a fact that is attributed as the cause of his act. He was about 32 years old and unmarried. Some two weeks ago Wade Hart ley, a negro, was convicted before Magistrate Waters at Johnston, in Edgefield county, for violation of the dispensary law, and sentenced to the county chaingang for thirty days. He was delivered to the proper authori ties and placed on the gang, where he died soon after being received, and his body was sent to the county alms house for burial; no notice of his death being given to his relatives or any one else. The negro was com plaining of being unwell and it is said that he was given a severe lash ing and required to do duty. His hasty burial aroused the suspicion of some of the citizens of Johnston, who had the body exhumed, and upon ex amination, it is reported it was found that there was a hole in the back of h(k head, his back terribly lacerated and one eye gone. County Super visor Self, it seems, made an investi gation and reported that no violence had been done the negro; but the matter has aroused the indignation of the people of that community, and the body will be taken up again and an Inquest held, as it is believed that the negro was beaten to death. When exhumed the shackles were still on the body. Mr. Floyd Baker and Miss Helene Brohawn Made One. An event of interest to Gaffney so ciety was the marriage, on October 5th, of Miss Helene Wright Brohawn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Bro hawn, 1724 Harlem Ave., Baltimore, Md., to Mr. Floyd Lee Baker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leander Baker, of our city. The ceremony was performed at Harlem Park Methodist Episcopal church, Baltimore, by the pastor. Rev. :S. L. Watson. Miss Nera K. Schaefer, of Balti more, was maid of honor; the ushers were Dr. D. E. Duff, Messrs. Howard S. Kroh, William C. Geohegan, Jr., and J. Raymond Brohawn, all of Bal timore. ; The bride formed a handsome pic ture in a gown of white crepe de chine over taffeta silk, trimmed with pearl lace, and a long tulle veil, caught with a diamond crescent and orange blossoms; while she carried in her hand a beautiful bouquet of white carnations. The groom was handsome and stately in the conventional black, full dress. The maid of honor wore white point d’esprit over taffeta and carried pink carnations. The wedding march was played by Miss Ruth Miller, of Baltimore, who wore grey silk over taffeta trimmed in Duchess lace and green velvet, and wore tea roses. The bridal party waa gowned as follows: Mrs. John Brohawn wore black peau de sol over black taffeta. Mrs. H. S. Kroh wore white pompa dour silk trimmed in real lace, and carried La France roses, wore black peaude sol over black taffeta. Mrs. H. S. Kroh wore white pompodour silk trimmed in real lace, Miss Nellie Brohawn wore blue ehiffon trimmed in Dutch val lace. Mrs. Wm. McDonough wore white etamine trimmed In Cluny Lace over white taffeta. The church was beautifully de corated with palms. Mr. and Mrs. Baker left immediate ly after the ceremony for Atlantic City, N. J., to spend a few days, re turning to Baltimore for a short stay before coming home. They expect to leave Baltimore to day (Friday) via York River Steam ship line and will be at home at Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Osborne’s after the 15th The bride is a sister of Mrs. Dr, Garrett, of this city, and is quite wel known here, where she has often visited; and the groom is a popular attache of The Ledger office. They have hosts of admirers in the city who will extend to them a warm wel come, and whose best wishes wil ever cluster around them throughout their wedded life. A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE.

COURT PROCEEDINGS. Cases Disposed of During the Week— More on Docket. When court convened Monday the first case to come up was J. A. Willis vs. the Western Union Telegraph Company. This was a suit for dam age, and was the second time it had been heard. A verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $G50. The case, however, will be taken to the Supreme Court by de fendants. The next case was Davis vs. Smith for disposing of cotton under lien. The jury remained out all night and failed to agree. The case of Chadwick vs. the Gaff ney Manufacturing Company was then taken up, and it occupied the attention of the court throughout Wednesday. The result was a ver dict in favor of the defendant com pany; but the plaintiff was granted a new trial. Yesterday morning the case of C. E. Smith vs. Kitchens et al, for action on a note, came up for a hear ing. This was decided in favor of the plaintiff in the sum of $105 and some cents. When our forms closed the court was occupied on the case of Gaffney vs. Samuel Jefferies. This is a suit for recovery of land, and will probab ly be the last case heard at this term, as it will likely continue through today. The next case to come before the court is Ramsay vs. Gaffney Manu facturing Company; but it is not thought that it will be reached this time. There are a number of other cases on the docket which will have to be continued till next term. Broke Into Hie Houee. 8.

Wilkinsville, Oct. 11.—The an nouncement that Col. James H. Till man is now preparing to enter the ministry is something the credulous can’t believe—or else they don’t want to believe it. We heard of this two months ago but thought we would wait until someone else said some thing about it; notwithstanding our nformation came from one of the most reliable, trustworthy and well informed ladies in Chester county, and one who doesn’t talk merely for amusement. With some the idea is preposterous, if not totally absurd— Jim Tillman as a preacher? While we have not been an ardent admirer of Col. Tillman, and much of his career as a man and politician has )een so thorougly discussed that it is unreasonable to think many others would be; yet we have an unyield- ng confidence in the transforming power of God's grace, and we can’t see why it should not extend to Col James H. Tillman as well as any of the rest of us who nded it just as much as he does or ever did. The same red handed Saul who vreathed out threatenings and slaugh ter against the disciples, was the same Paul who stood before Felix and reasoned of righteousness, temperance and Judgment to come, and finally ex claimed, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” It is a little more than the average man or woman of today can Accede to. But this is a day of strange things. We live in an age in which it is im possible for some people to forgive either real or imaginary injuries, and yet they will pray "And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Just as if they were expected to ask all and do nothing. “But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses," is a divine declaration and we can neither add to nor take from it. We can’t so amend or curtail it in any way as to secure divine sanction. Mr. and Mrs. John R. Osement, of Gaffney, are spending a few days with friends and relatives in this section. Your correspondent has been quite unwell for a few days with rheumatic pains. People are busy getting their cotton out as fast as it is possible to do so. Most of the crop is open and picked out. Before the end of this month it will all be picked out if the weather continues fair and dry. That the cotton crop will be the short est for years, there is no kind of a doubt. We were never more disap pointed than we are about the crop this year. Corn is pretty good in most places. Several cows have died in this sec tion lately, so we understand. No one seems to know what was the mat ter with them. Gardens and turnip patches are suffering for rain just now. Mrs. Betsy Hartford is not doing as well as she has been doing hereto fore. She is very feeble now and can’t possibly last much longer with out a change. Messrs. A. S. and W. D. Douglass have sold their plantation on Thick- ety and Giikey creeks. Land is looking up in price in this country and a few more dry years will call most of the thrown out bot tom lands into requisition again. Those wanting to buy land should do so soon if they don’t want to pay higher for it. The short session of the criminal court last week is, we trust, indica tive of a decrease of crime In our county, unless a great many cases were continued upon the docket.

C., October 13.— Admirers of Mr. Bryan find their good opinion of him vindicated in every issue of the Commoner by his earnest, constant and effective ad vocacy of the election of Parker and Davis. When the National Democratic Convention adjourned there was the usual effervesence of exultation in the excitable elemgat of the prevailing side of the controversies which were there decided. This soon subsided, and with it whatever sense of irrita tion it had caused. Mr. Bryan promptly changed his at titude as the leader of one section of the party in a convention, and ad dressed himself to his duties as one of the acknowledged leaders of the party as a whole, in its quadrennial struggle to overcome the common enemy. Trusted as he had twice been with the chief honor it could bestow, he doubtless felt the great obligation he was under to prove his worthiness to command by his willingness to obey. He gave no uncertain sound, made no reservation, and left the most skeptical mind no room to doubt the Intense earnestness of his sup port of democratic principles, and the candidates who represent them in this campaign. Why, then, should any statement be necessary on the subject of Mr. Bryan's good work? Why are not the columns of his paper sufficient evidence of it? The answer is that everybody cannot see his paper, and that persistent efforts are being made by the enemy to weaken the force of his powerful influence by false state ments concerning his attitude. These statements would deceive none who see what Mr. Bryan is saying from week to week; but thousands of men who do not see it, and who are devot ed to him, are being falsely told that he does not want Parker elected, and is not laboring to that end. They carry these tactics so far as to say that in certain States the Bryan men are “sulking;” they hope that such rumors will cause a feeling of uncer tainty among them. Any democrat professing friend ship for Mr. Bryan is false to that friendship if he aids by his voice or his vote to give the republican party the victory which Mr. Brayn is labor ing with all the force he posseses to prevent. These things are not said as agree ing with Mr. Bryan’s views on the money question, which, as he said in lis latest issue, “is not in the cam paign,” but they are said as recogniz ng in him a clear intellect, a brave heart, and a direct way of fighting. To sum up the whole matter: When Mr. Bryan was the candidate of the party in 189G, Judge Parker, who dif- I’ered with him on the money ques tion, supported him cordially because he preferred democratic to republi can rule. When Mr. Bryan was the candidate again In 1900, Judge Park er again cordially supported him Now that Judge Parker is the candi date of the party, Mr. Bryan, who differs with him on the money ques- :lon, cordially supports him because le, too, prefers democratic to repub- ican rule. Both are democrats am: soth submit to the action of demo cratlc national conventions. If Parker and Davis are elected al democrats will share the honor of the victory. If Parker is defeated let it not be said that It was because of the treachery of Bryan democrats who re fused to follow their leader in sup port of the ticket. The united action of democrats can elect Parker. • • • It undoubtedly is true that people ought to hesitate to say anything but good about the president, whoever he may be. But when a man occupies that position who has not hesltate< to disturb the bones of the dead in order to find some one to vilify, it is a debatable question whether he de serves that Immunity. The hyena is the most despised of all animals, for among them it is the only one which will prey upon the dead. And so it would seem that that sort of men who are capable of slander so base as than pronounced against Jefferson by Roosevelt, when he called him a plain liar in the more euphonious language. He bad a costltutlonal inability to put a proper value on truthfulness,’ ought to be put In a class all by them selves. In other words Theodore Roosevelt, now a candidate in his own right for the highest office within the gift of the people, says that Thomas Jefferson, the author of the grea; “Charter of American Liberties,’’was a liar, and worse than that, a liar who was mentally and morally irrespon slble, constitutionally so. Is theliv- ing president any more sacred than the memory of one of the greatest of these gone before? But Mr. Roosevelt has not been content to disturb the sacred mem ories of such men as Jefferson and Monroe, but in going about as the Bible tells us "as a roaring lion, seek ing whom he may devour” he has oven attacked those good people, the best people it may be in ail our land, | A charter is issued to the Wades- ok u # bl * If as sbo “ ld b ®:lboro Live Stock Co., of Wadesboro.

In the ages of childien up to twelve years, their misfortunes, from baby's prickly heat to the boy’s open sore, are many. Few parents realize the therapeutic value of sulphur for skin diseases and Impure blood. Hancock’s Liquid Sulphur, Nature’s Greatest Germicide, is indispensable in a home where are children—it may be taken internally or applied direct to the affected parts. Here is the opinion of Mr. H. J Lamar, Vlnevilio, Macon, Qa.: We used your Liquid Sulphur on our one year old baby, who suffered intense ly from prickly heat over her entire body. A half dozen applications in two days entirely relieved her am she slept soundly. You should re- conuned Liquid Sulphur strongly to mothers. It will prove a blessing to every family with small children. The Hancock Liquid Sulphur Co., Baltimore, Md., sends tree its book let on sulphur.

If Love expiates his crime on the gal lows it will be the second hanging that has ever occurred in the county of Haywoood. One Satur day night, several months ago, Tom Love, a negro about 50 years of age, entered the residence of Mrs. Rogers, and when the lady awoke she found the man in her room. The negro es caped, but was subsequently arrested and placed in jail. PERILS OF LAND AND SEA. Captain Willnef’s Remarkable Escape Shows What to do In Time of Trouble. For many years, Captain Willnef, says the Times of Gloucester, Mass., was one of the best known seamen in the Gloucester Fleet. The sea and its dangers had no terror for him, but the catarrhal troubles with which he suffered for fifteen years made him dread the nights at sea, for he had to walk the cabin floor, being un able to He down and sleep on account of the constant catarrhal dropping. Captain Willnef went to two differ ent hospitals for treatment, but could , get no lasting benefit. He constant ly raised yellow and green phlegm and his trouble became so unbearable and nauseating that he was ashamed to go out in company. When despair ing of ever getting relief, his wife pur chased a Hyomel outfit for him, and trying it before going to bed. he en joyed the first whole night’s sleep for ten years. Captain Willnef says “I have used less than two bottles of Hyomel and have been cured by the remedy. My friends ask me what is responsible for my improvement, and I tell them Hyomei, which has given me full and complete recovery." Captain Wllinef’a experience shows our readers what to do in time of ca tarrhal trouble,—use Hyomel. This remarkable treatment kills the germs of catarrh and makes lasting and per manent cures. The Gaffney Drug Co. sell Hyomei under their person si gurantee to refund the money If it does not give quick relief. Subscrlbs for Th# Lsdgsr SI a year.
