[HROMOUT THE PALMETTO STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST OF PASSING E&ENTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Happenings All Over the State Taken from Our Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Readers. The Greenville News received Fri day a copy of a letter to Governor Heyward, purporting to be signed by 112 citizens of Oconee county, asking for his resignation in view of his course in the Hoyt Hayes murder case. Fire in the cellar of The State building Saturday night destroyed $8,000 worth of paper stock, on which there was practically no insurance. The cause of '.he was a defective pipe. The Are was discovered at 11: 30 o’clock. The firemen finished their job at 1 o’clock, most of the damage having been wrought by water and smoke. In the United States Circuit Court at Greenville Friday a large register ed distillery, valued at $3,000, was de clared the property of the govern ment under condemnation proceed ings. Six months ago revenue officers testified they had seen spirits re moved from the store room with no revenue stamps and contrary to the revenue laws. The railroad commisison has re- \f ceived from the grand jury of Lancas ter county a copy of a presentment setting forth the fact that the South ern Railway bridge across the Bear creek is unsafe. Railroad Commis sioner Caughman left for Lancaster yesterday to inspect the bridge and report his findings on the matter to the railroad officials. L. A. Martin, the man who tele graphed the governor the other day from Meggets that he would give himself up on acount of being sus pected of being implicated in the Eu- tawville lynching, Saturday turned | himself over to the penitentiary au thorities and is supposed to be under arrest. The action of Martin was en tirely voluntary and he denies being implicated in the affair at all. After taking up two days and a half the case of J. R. Hix against the Belton mills was concluded at Ander son Saturday with a verdict for the defense. Hix was a card grinder and asked for damages in the sum of $10,000» for injuries alleged to have been received on September 27th, 1892, while in the service of the de fendant. The case has excited in tense interest and th j battle in court was hard fought. Dr. R. G. Elliott, a prominent phy sician, of Lancaster county, met with a singular accident a day or so ago. While riding along in his buggy he took out his pocket knife, cleaned out the howl of his pipe and was in the act of taking a smoke when he let the knife drop in his lap. Feeling it failing between his legs, he quickly pressed the limbs together, causing the blade to pierce one of his thighs to the bone, barely missing the femo ral artery. The fire which broke out at 11:30 Saturday night in a Southern passen ger car in siding at Union destroyed the wood and coal yards of the Power Fuel Company, together with three freight cars and one passenger coach. At one time the entire northern part of the city was in immediate danger on account of the Standard OH Com pany’s tank being within a couple at hundred feet at the burning cars an<j yards, but by bard work on the part of the hose connection from Union Mills the tank and many dwellings were saved. At one time the city power house was also in danger on account of its being near the yards. The loss is above $2,000. Although the fire started in a car on the siding the wind which was blowing south soon blew the flames into the dry pine and fanned it to a furnace. The fire department, which was rather late in reaching the scene, also be came confused and was delayed in making hose connections and getting streams of water on the fire. Mayor McNally was present and personally took charge of the fire department to get it in good working order. Rooster Attacks Tiny Boys. A rooster owned by Abrahm Wis- wein, of Shenandoah, Pa., recently developed a dislike for all oM’ r n and has frequently attempted to at tack them. Recemly, whi!<' ’-'T-n and Anthony Pulaski, aged 0 "ml 3 years .respectively, were pbvi^g in a yard occupied by both families, the rooster viciously attacked the bo.s. Knocking them down he necked a Jiole through Anthony’s upper lip and fdug deeply into the cheeks of John. Had not tho screams of the children attracted the attention of neighbors the bird would probaly have pecked out the eyes of both. Billy Blueshirt. It is reported here that Billy Blue- shirt, a colored desperado who mur dered a woman in this city a year ago, is serving a life sentence in the West Virginia penitentiary. It will be remembered that Blueshirt shot and killed Cora Rice, a colored woman, in the suburbs of Gaffney about . a year ago and made his escape, not- v^ttistanding strenuous efforts were r"ade to capture him. As Billy has but one life, it is hardly probable thajt he will ever be brought to this State for punishment for his crime here. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. People You Know and People You Don’t Know. E. R.

A ROYAL SRAVE To Be Presented at Star Theatre Next Friday Night. “A Royal Slave’’ is a most striking production in many ways. It is a new and pleasing departure in the way of a play, and there is nothing similar to it on the stage today. It is unlike any other story, containing an interesting theme and presenting a pretty romance in a manner which holds the interest of. the audience throughout the entire play. Mr. Frank DeCamp, who portrays the part of ‘‘Aguila,’’ the slave, is a man of fine physique, possessing a rich mellow voice and handling the character in a masterful manner. He gives an excellent interpretation of a type of a race which now remains only as a memory. Mr. Harry Gordon has selected an entire cast that seems exceptionally well fitted for the parts which they portray. Miss Eunice Murdock, as Countess DeOro, gives a strong rep resentation of a character which ap peals to the audience and demands talent of a superior quality. There is not an uninteresting character in the play. The stage settings are admir able and lacking in nothing. Speaking of this attraction the Muncie, Ind., Morning Star of Sept, ber 6th, says: “ ‘A Royal Slave,’ which made its first appearance here last night at the Wysor Grand, made a decided hit with a large audience. Among mem bers of the cast deserving especial mention are Miss Eunice Murdock, as Countess DeOro, the scheming mother: Juan de Russelli, as Count Pedro Marlines, the mysterious El Capitan; Frank DeCamp, as El Aguila, the last of the Montezumas; J. E. Bowersox, in the part of Col. Gastello, an officer of the Mexican service, and Padre Domingus, priest and physician, played by C. Garvin Gilmaine. Miss Barbara Swager was also strong in the part of Isadora De Oro, the countess’ daughter. During the play several curtain calls were given and applause was frequent at the climaxes. The costumes worn were unusually beautiful and attrac tive. The scenic effects, which were very real, drew attention. From the pleased expressions heard, as the crowd left, should the company play a return date here or come next sea son in the same performance, it would be assured a hearty welcome.” Robin Hood’s Barn. It is a long way around, and a walk that may be a good thing for exer cise. But the short cut to a delightful evening’s pleasure is a visit to Ly man H. Howe’s high class moving picture exhibition in the Star Theatre tonight. The program combines the fun of the comedy with the culture of world travel, with a rapidity, pre cision and brilliancy aproached by no similar exhibitions anywhere. Mr. Howe has achieved such a distinct reputation that it would be grossly unjust to confound or compare simi lar entertainments to this bne. Mr. Howe presents always a series of mo tion pictures that in every detail of sound, color, and technique are a rev elation of realism and mechanical perfection. He is in fact the only exhibitor today that has made of mo tion pictures 4 fine art. The program comprises only the best, latest and most exclusive subjects that instruct while they fascinate. This performance will be under the auspices of the Limestone Guards. Barlow and Wilson’s Minstrels. Barlow and Wilson’s Greater New York Minstrels will be at the Star Theatre next Monday night. The fol lowing is from the New Orleans Dally Picayune: “Were the curtain of time rolled back and the performances of twen ty-five years ago to appear on the scene, what a revelation would last night’s performance have been to him. How he would have wondered at the simplicity of arrangements of his day, and the magnificence of the drapery of the present, when a little burnt cork and a banjo constituted a performer, while now it requires all the present granduer of a collossal attraction, like Barlow and Wilson’s Minstrels, to satisfy the public. Ev ery aggregation has its stars, but none cast their rays brighter than do Bar- low and Wilson’s magnificent aggre gation of star performers.” The Secret of Success. Forty million bottles of August Flower sold in the United States alone since its introduction! And the de mand for it is still growing. Isn’t that a fine showing of success? Don’t it prove that August Flower has had unfailing success in the cure of indi gestion and dyspepsia—the two great- !est enemies of health and happiness? Does it not afford the best evidence that August Flower is a sure specific for all stomach and intestinal disor ders?—that It has proved itself the best of all liver regulators? August Flower has a matchless record of over thirty-five years in curing the ailing millions of these distressing com plaints—a success that is becoming wider in its scope every day, at home and abroad, as the fame of August Flower spreads.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest Wilkinsville, Oct. 21.—Mrs. Betsy Hartford died day before yesterday and was hurried at Elbethel church yesterday. She was well-nigh, if not quite, 80 years of age. Truly a sheaf of corn fully ripe has been gathered into the Master’se garner. Her life went out as calmly as the sun goes down and draws the mantle of night over the earth. For many years she had been a great sufferer, but during it all no one ever heard her complain or show a distrust of the everlasting Arm up on which she was leaning. For several months we have been holding Sabbath school and prayer meeting in her home, and as long as she was able to do so she expressed her love for the “Sweet Songs of Zion.” We have frequently taken occasion to mention the loyalty of her son “Til- let” to her. Truly he is one of a thousand sons who has been true to his mother in all her long years of suffering, never leaving her for a mo ment without some one on whom she could call for help. If all the boys and men of this country were as true to their mothers as he has been, ten thousand of the evils much complained of would have ceased to exist long ago. Ed Edwards thinks he got “pizen- ed” yesterday. It was this way. He got a mail box at Wilkinsville and had Mr. Boyce Whisonant to put his name on it. Before the paint got dry Ed picked up his box and started for home, and by some means some of the paint got rubbed off on his tobac co, and in taking a chew of it he got the paint in his mouth and thought he was “pizened.” Mrs. Jake Pridmore went to Gaff ney last week. She says she would be willing to pay Newt Osment’s way out here If he will come and let her hear him preach, provided he has quit all his meanness, for she thinks he was the worst boy ever raised in this country. Mrs. Andrew Sanders vtes at Ab ingdon Creek church last Sabbath, when Rev. W. D. Hammett preached a very impressive sermon to a large congregation. His text was Daniel VI: 12. The third Sabbath of next month will be Bible day there and everybody is invited to come. Rev. Owens is expected to be present and there will be two sermons. The la dies will bring their dinner baskets, well filled, too. There was a neighborhood prayer meeting at Mr. L. M. Hartford’s last Sabbath evening at 4 o’clock. It was very well attended. Sam J. Strain Went to Rock Hill last Thursday oh business, and re turned Saturday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. John R. Osment, of Gaffney, who have been spending some time with relatives and friends in this section, returned to their home yesterday raorang. Mr. Jeter Fowler, of Jonesville, has bought the lands of Messrs. A. S. and W. D. Douglas in this township and will occupy them next year, we sup pose. We trust that he will find this a good neighborhood to live in. Mr. W. D. Parks, of Union, passed through this section last Saturday on his way to visit friends and relatives in York county. "Drate” was one of our schoolmates. It’s reported that a whiskey wagon passed through the upper section of this township last Saturday night a week ago. Whether it’s true or not we can’t say. But we have heard of some desultory drinking and uproar ious conduct in the section through which it is reported to have passed. The corn crop in this section is fair ly good and we see some good spots of cotton, too, but they are by no means general. About all the cotton is open now. There will be no stained cotton this year if the rain will keep off a few days longer. Today the Synod of South Carolina meets at Clinton. Elder T. J Estes will represent Salem church. A few chills are reported along the, creeks, but they are nothing like they I generally are at this season, neither in the number or the severity of the cas es- j. L. S. Letter to Victor Oil Mill. Gaffney, S. C. Dear Sirs: It costs two or three times as much to put paint on as to buy it. A gallon of poor paint costs as much as a gallon of good, for the woik, and a gallon of poor don’t go, half as far. Poor paint lasts half or a third or a quarter as long as good; and protects wood and iron a half or a third or a quarter as well as good. Do you buy good paint or poor? You don’t know any poor? Why the market is full of it! All Devon agents have a state chemist’s certificate which tells just what’s In Devoe. Go by the name: the one safe name: Devoe lead-and-zinc. Yours truly. 7f L F W Devoe & Co f S-—Tho Builders’ Supply Co. sells our paint. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. The large glass windows are being placed in the front of the Settlemyer building. We are glad to know that Miss Jane Nott, who was partially paralyzed a short time ago, is improving. Robert Godfrey has opened up a restaurant on Limestone street, next door to Walter Baker’s store. Judge Frank B. Gary, of Abbeville, has been appointed to preside at the extra term of court which will be held here in November. There was an interesting singing convention at Beaverdam church Sunday. A large crowd was in atten dance, and the singing was good. Mr. W. C. Carpenter is having some improvements made in his dwelling house by the addition of a porch and enlargement of his dining room and some other changes. Carpenters are busily engaged in overhauling and remodeling the old Baptist High School building and con verting it into a handsome residence for Mr. J. L. Alexander. The dispensary was closed Satur day till about 3 o'clock in the after noon. When the doors were finally opened there were many on hand who, evidently, were in favor of the “system” for that time at least. Miss Lola McSwain, of King’s Creek, got the pair of shoes offered by the Dixie Clothing and Shoe Store, she having been the first one to pur chase the required amount of goods at the- beginning of The Dixie’s sale yesterday morning. The music department at Lime stone College is fuller this year than ever before under the present man agement. Prof. Scherubel will give a number of public recitals during the session, the first one of which will be given in a short time. The merry-go-round came in Thurs day afternoon and was immediately put in operation on the vacant lot near the power house. It was well patron ized Saturday afternoon and night, and probably will be every night as long as it remains in the city. MRS. GARRETT ENTERTAINS. In Honor of Mr. and Mrs. Floyd L. Baker. On Friday evening Dr. and . Mrs. J. F. Garrett gave an elegant reception to Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Lee Baker and Miss Brohawn. Mr. and Mrs. Baker have just returned from their bridal trip. This lovely home was ablaze in brilliancy and mirth and music held their sway. As the guests entered they were met by Miss Inez Sarratt, who in her usual queenly manner made them Welcome. Misses Lula Garrett and Rosa Little escorted them to the dressing room. Mrs. Roundtree then introduced them to the receiving party, which was composed of Dr. and Mrs. Garrett, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Baker, Miss Bro hawn and Mr. and Mrs. L. Baker. They stood beneath a bell of pink and white, while the parlor was decorated in green and pink, with potted plants to lend their beauty to the scene. After congratulations were over, punch was daintily served by Miss Freeman Garrett, standing beneath a bower of green, dotted with hearts pierced with Cupid’s darts. The dining hall, where a two-course menu was served, was beautifully decorated in red and white. In the center of the room was a square table with red ribbons caught at the four cor ners and drawn to the chandelier above. Cut glass vases filled with red geraniums with a large bowl of the same flowers in the center, made the whole a picture of beauty. The costumes worn by the receiv ing party and those who assisted were as follows: Mrs. Garrett, heli otrope silk trimmed in chiffon and lace: Mrs. Floyd Baker, white crep? de chine and real lace; Miss Bro hawn, blue mull and lace over blue silk; Mrs. L. Baker, black silk with white .trimmings: Mrs. Roundtree, black and white silk; Miss Inez Sar ratt, white mull elaborately trimmed in lace and ribbon. Death of Fred Littlejohn. Our people were saddened Satur day morning by the ' •.reU.gonce that Fred Littlejohn was dead at his home In Spartanburg. For several months Mr. Littlejohn had been a popular salesman at Mr. J. W. Tolleson’s store in this city. On Monday morning last he asked permisison of his employer to go to his home for a few days, as he was not feeling well; and he left on the morning train. No more was heard from him till Saturday morning, when a phone message came to Mr. Tolleson saying he was dead, he hav ing rapidly succumbed to typhoid pneumonia. The funeral services were conduct ed Sunday at the home of the young man’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Felix Littlejohn, by Rev. W. P. Smith, who baptized Fred about ten years ago. The remains were then interred in Oakwood cemetery, Spartanburg, in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends who had ad mired the young man during his life. Mr, Littlejohn was about twenty- three years of age, and a model young man, strictly moral in character and upright in all his dealings with his fellowmen. He was a member of the Baraca class of the First Baptist church in this city, and the pall bearers were also members of the same class. They were: W. H. Ross, C. T. Clary, J. O. Sparks, Elmore Le Master, Drayton Clary, and J. B. Pet tit. They carried with them a hand some wreath bearing the word “Ba raca,” which was placed upon the grave of their departed member. Others who attended the funeral from this city were Mrs. Hamilton, Miss Kate Hamilton, Mrs. Sallie Parker, Miss Millie Wilkins, Joe Wat kins, R. M. Wilkins, W. J. Wilkins, Logan Warmouth and Adolphus Clary. Mr. Poole Again. Sunnyside, Oct. 21st, 1904. Mr. Editor:—Mr. Strain said he was done with the controversy he started, but I see in The Ledger of the 14th he has come again, and un der the circumstances I hope and be lieve your readers will excuse me for replying. He mentions a case in which he claims I was put down as a star witness for the prosecution and says I had led to his ruin the young man who was prosecuted. I never heard of this case until since he wrote that reply. The young man I had never seen. If so I did not know him. He is now living and will vouch for what I say. As to me passing his home so often, coming ffom Gaffney, I have only visited Gaffney twice in three years, and then I did not see anyone at his house. I have always conducted myself as a gentleman and have been treated as one. His writ ings he began and ended with false charges. If he wants any more of it, and will call a meeting of the citi zens of Gowdeysville township at Wilkinsville, or Sarratts, and invite me, not flight me, as he did at the Owens’ Ford meeting, I will be sure to attend and establish all I have written and some other deeds of his which the Owens’ Ford meeting is a credit to. Let him now show up or shut up. Respectfully, J. Rufus Poole. Unclaimed Letters. List of letters remaining in the postofllce at Gaffney, S. C., unclaim ed for the week ending Oct. 24. 1904. Rev.
