Hagins vs. Aetna Ins. Co.: Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of / General Interest Wilkinsville, Nov. 4.— Yesterday morning the long continued drouth came to an erill and the rain has been falling gently ever since. For several weeks the branches have been dry. The water in the rivers and creeks has been lower than the oldest peo ple ever remember seeing it. There is a prospect this morning of another wet day. Most of the corn has been gathered and housed and the crop is a fairly good one. There will be about the usual amount of meat killed this year. We know of several fine hogs in this com munity. Yesterday some of our folks caught a large chicken hawk, and Patience and Ed Edwards cooked it. They said it ate better than chicken. Since the 1st of November we have been hearing ‘‘bang, bang, bang” from the bird hunters’ guns. It’s no won der the insects are destroying the crops every year, when the only ene my they have isn’t allowed to live.

Wood, Dickson & Co. vs. L. while carelessly handling a hammer less gun, young Peter Axon shot him self through the foot inflicting a pain ful, if not serious, wound. The physi cian in charge amputated one toe and horse and rider. Mr. Lytton informed Constable J. L. Matheny, who told Mr. J. G. Simmons and Mr. F. B. Gaffney, and they were all on the lookout for the thief. A strange negro on horse back met Mr. H. H. Dixon, of Henri etta, several miles from that place hauling wood, and proposed to sell the horse to him. The negro asked $60 for the horse? but they finally traded for $30 provided the horse would work well everywhere. They hitched it to the wagon then to a bug gy and drove by the Henrietta Mills store.and Mr. Gaffney, manager, knew the horse from the description and ’phoned Constable Matheny to go to Mr. Dixon’s. When he got there they were plowing the horse and Mr. Dix on. was detaining the negro as long as possible, suspecting something was wrong. Mr. Smith, a Tennessee drover, to whom the horse belonged, and an officer from Gaffney went to Henrietta identified the horse and Thursday brought it and rider back to Gaffney. Thq negro was in the em ploy of Mr. Smith and left him during the night. Twenty-five dollars re ward was given to Messrs. J. W. Lytton, J. L. Matheny, F. B. Gaffney and J. G. Simmons for the capture of horse and rider. You Know and People You Don’t Know. W. T. Phillips, boss weaver in the Abbeville cotton mills, spent Sunday in the city with relatives. W. C. Edwards, a prominent archi tect of Columbia, was in the city Sat urday. J. L. Taylor, of Rutherford ton, N. C., spent Saturday in the city. C. W. McMurry, of Shelby, N. C., was a visitor in the city Saturday. J. D. Jefferies Jr., of Jonesville, was in the city yesterday on business. W. W. Gaffney returned Thursday night from Knoxville, Tenn., where he had been on business. Miss Ada Webber, of the Buffalo section, spent Saturday in the city shopping. Worth Sanders, of Maud, was in town Saturday. J. B. Jones, of Grassy Pond, was among the comers to the city Satur day. W. J. McGill, a prosperous planter of the King’s Creek section, was a welcome visitor to The Ledger office Saturday. Austin Turner, of Lockhart, was a visitor in the city Saturday. C. G. Phillips called on us Saturday and renewed for The Ledger. D. C. Beheler, of the King’s Creek neighborhood, spent Saturday in the city on business. R. J. Harris, of Grindal, came up to the city Saturday on business. William Borders, of Blacksburg, spent yesterday in the city. Dr. W. K. Gunter and L. C. War- moth attended the mission rally at Macedonia Sunday. and visited ‘‘friends” in the neighborhood. C. S. Good* who is now in business in Greenville, spent Sunday at home with his family. I. G. Huskey went to Greenville yesterday on business. M. C. Lipscomb, of White Plains, was in town yesterday. S. R. Thaekston. of Asbury, spent yesterday in the city. J. W. Tolleson has returned from the northern markets, where he pur chased a nice line of new goods for his winter trade. Capt. Jack Crawford, of New Mex ico, the “poet scout of the Black Hills.” was in the city Saturday. J. C. Otts, Esq., has » , etu , 'ned from a business trip to point'-, in Tennes see. J. T. Spencer, of Lawn, was in the portions of small bones of the foot. The gun in the rebound discharged a second load, and wonderful to tell, did no damage to anyone else, although several gentlemen were standing near. The incident occurred in the drug store of Dr. H. N. Fair. Friday night while going to Willis- ton from Blackville, Mr. Joe Bond was accidentally shot by a Mr. Boyl- ston. Both of the parties live a few miles north of Williston. The acci dent occurred about 8 o’clock. The wound will likely be a serious one, as the bullet entered about the point of the seventh rib and came out at the point of the twelfth rib, and from in dications both the liver and the kid ney are affected. Mr. Boyd was taken to Williston Saturday to be carried fb Augusta for hospital treatment. Dr. W. E. Pelham, of Newberry, re ceived the sad news Thursday morn ing that his son, Mr. Chas. P. Pel ham, had been seriously injured in a runaway accident near . Asheville, N. C. It seems that Mr! Pelham was thrown from a buggy against a cross tie and his skull fractured. Details are lacking, but K is said that Mr. Pelham has regained consciousness. Mr. Pelham is traveling for the well- known drug firm, Parke, Davis & Co., of Baltimore. He has many friends who hope that his injuries are not so bad as reported. Friday Mosely. a former student of Claflin University, with his accom plice, Jesse Gadsden, attempted a rather sharp trick at Elloree the otbdr day on one of the merchants. Mosley brought a bale of cotton to town which was weighed and num bered by local Cotton Weigher F. H. Danfzler. The negro erased the fig uro 1 and substituted 2. He was paid by the firm of Ulmer & Irlck for two bales. Shortly afterwards it was dis covered by another party having the same number as one of Mosley’s bales that the darkies had only one bale of cotton. Search was made for them and they were soon captured with the money, which one of the negroes had carefully deposited in his shoes. A terrible tragedy was enacted Spartanburg Saturday night. J. E. Jones shot and killed J. M. Young in Fant’s little confectionery store on Magnolia street. Both are white men and each has been running a repair shop a few doors from each Cther. They were about the same age. Young was a large, strong man, while Jones is slender and small. So far as can be learned, Young took hold of an Italian with a monkey this after noon and forced him to pay a lodging bill due Young’s mother. Jones called for a policeman and reported Young Baker; Hall & Willis: J. C. Jefferies. Wednesday, Nov. 23. 31. Hickory Mfg. Co. vs. L. Baker; Arrival of Trains. Hall & Willis; »J. C. Jefferies.

Who in the name of common sense would know ingly bring such a nuisance into the State? Why don’t they protect the partridges by a law that is something else than a plexus of exceptions that renders it almost a complete nullity? Mr. Will Smarr, of Hopewell, is on this side of the river hauling lumber. Prohibition and dispensary is about all we hear now.
