A Popular Young Couple Spring a
Surprise on Their Friends.
Mr. Albert Sidney Lipscomu and
Miss Etta Webb surprised their
friends Wednesday night by repairing
to the parlor of the First Baptist
chuch immediately after the prayer
meeting service and taking upon
themselves the marriage vow. For
some time this young couple has been
acting in such a manner as to commend
the admiration of all Gaffney—for all
the world loves a lover—but it was
not expected that they would be quite
so sly about the ceremony.
Miss Webb went to prayer meeting
with some ’’uung ladies and Mr. Lip
scomb went With some young gentle
men. During the service they occu
pied different benches and no one had
the ler st idea that there was anything
in the air until after service it was
noted that a few, including the couple
and some friends, remained. In a
short while the party repaired to the
parlor of the church, where the pas
tor, Dr. A. M. Simms, spoke the
words that made thehi man and wife.
Mr. Lipscomb is one of the best
young business men in Gaffney. He
is not of the skyrocket order, but
has, from a small beginning, by
strict attention to business, built up
one of the best businesses in his line.
He is a quiet, unassuming young gen
tleman and has brightened his fu
ture prospects by taking unto him
self a wife.
Miss Webb is a native of Moores
boro, N. C. She has been living in
Gaffney several years and has by her
amiable disposition and modest man
ner made a host of friends, who will
wish for her a world of happiness In
her new sphere of life. The Ledger
joins in congratulations to them.

Evory detail will he carefully looked nard street. The reception was an in
after and the future success of the formal one, held in honor of Judge
Hermitage Cotton Mills is confidently
expected.
At a meeting Monday of the direct
ors of the Union and the Buffalo cot
ton mills at Union, it was decided
that the ten-hour work system be
adopted in the mills mentioned. This
action was based on the idea that a
larger production and better goods
would be obtained by this plan. The
decision affects a large number of op
eratives, as the Buffalo and Union
Mills are among the largest in the
South. There will be no reduction of
wages.
A Darlington jury on last Friday
convicted Bob Small and John Noll,
two white men, of the murder of a
negro. The victim of the murders
was Frank Scott. They killed the ne
gro on the public highway under the
most brutal circumstances and abso
lutely without justification. Noll was
recommended to the mercy of the
court. Small was sentenced to he
hanged on May 5, and Noll was sen
tenced to imprisonment for life in the
penitentiary.
One of the mall clerks who was in
the wreck of No. 37, the southbound
vestibule of the Southern near Fair-
forest, several weeks ago, will sue
the road for damages. The following
item, relative to the suit, is clipped
from the Charlotte News: “Mr. J. S.
Eagle, a railway mail clerk, who al
leges that he was injured in the wreck
of No. 37 at Falrforest several weeks
ago has instituted a suit against the
Southern railway for $15,000.” In the
complaint filed by Mr. Eagle In At

the vestibule at Fairforest was caused
by a defective roadbed.
Charles Thompson, a well-known
illicit whiskey dealer of Columbia,
was killed by a Seaboard Air Line
train about twenty miles north of Co
lumbia last Tuesday night. He had
had a quantity of whiskey shipped to
himself at a station on the Seaboard
and was transporting it to Columbia
with a wagon and team of mules. The
team stalled on the railroad track and
he went toward an approaching train
and tried to wave it down. The train
was coming at the rate of sixty miles
an hour. The engineer saw the sig
nal and applied the emergency
brakes; but the train did

Purdy, Of Sumter, who is holding court
at Gaffney.
Mr. and Mrs. Jefferies are ideal en
tertainers at all times, and on thta
occasion they seemed to be at their
best, and nothing had been omitted
that would add to the pleasure of
their guests.
A sumptuous supper, consisting of
an elegant and delicious menu, had
been pepared under the supervision
of the hostess, and it was served in
the most tempting manner conceiv
able. It is needless to say that every
one present enjoyed himself to the
fullest extent possible.
Those who had the plAsure of the
hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Jefferies
were: Judge O. L. Purdy. T. B. But

Littlejohn, J. N. Lipscomb, J. D. Jones,
A. M. Deal, Ed. H. DeCamp, H. K.

Mrs. Dr. B. R. Brown added much
to the enjoyment of the occasion by
assisting Mrs. Jefferies in looking af
ter the wellfare of the guests.
A Stranger's Strange Conduct.
Saturday a w r ell dressed young man
alighted from No. 35, the southbound
night passenger train due here about
12 o’clock, and instead of going to a
hotel or seeking lodging anywhere, he
proceeded to walk the streets. The
night officers soon caught sight of
him, and as his actions were such
as to excite suspicion, they kept their
eyes on him and followed him. After
attempting to elude tbeir vigilance
for some little time and failing, the
stranger finally went up the stairway
leading to the upper rooms of the
new National hank building. The of
ficers followed immediately and
caught up with the young man: and
as he refused to state his name or his
business, he was taken to the guard
house and locked up. Sunday morn
ing he was still abrupt, and almost
defiant; hut by noon he condescended
to givf' his name, and told Chief Lock
hart that he lived in a near by town.
Mr. Ixickhart telephoned to the chief
of police of the town mentioned and
received the assurance that the young
man was all right in every way; and,
consequently, he was released from
custody. What his object was in act
ing in such a suspicious manner is a
matter for conjecture. He remarked
when arrested that the officers prob-
t t ably thought they had one of the Me-

Thompson was struck by some part of
the engine and killed, and the mules
were also killed.

Wilkinsvllle, Macrh 14.—Mrs. Theo
dore Bigham, of Sharon, whose illness
we noted in our last letter, breathed
her last at 1 o’clock last Saturday
morning, March 11th. She ^ras the
mother of Mrs. Sallie B. Estes and a
woman noted for her piety and high
Christian character, and her family
hive our sincere sympathies.
Also, another dear old mother In
Israel has passed to her reward. Mrs.
Martha J. Bell, mother of our esteemed
friend and citizen, Capt. James B. Bell,
of the Gaffney bar. For a long time
we have known Mrs. Bell as a most
estimable lady and one whose hospi
tality we have often enjoyed. She was
a member of one of York county’s
oldest, most popular and influential
families; a life-long member of the
Presbyterian cbjirch. Her family have
our heartfelt sympathies.
Of these dear ladies we can rev
erently say: ‘
With sparkling crowns and harps of
gold,
They make salvation’s anthem roll;
Their earthly kingdoms have become
The kingdom of God’s righteous Son.
We note that In what is called the
salary or “mileage grab” in congress
the South Carolina delegation voted as
follows: Messrs. Aiken and Legare
voted yea; Messrs. Finley and Lever
nay; while Messrs. Croft, Johnson and
Scarborough were paired and conse
quently didn’t vote at all.
It’s always a pleasure for us to note
the success of our neighbors—white
or colored. Rev. P. R. Davidson, of
the C. M. E. church, has three charges
in what is known as West Columbia,
that pay him $300 to $400 a year.
The family of Mr. Brewington are
putting a wire fence around the graves
of their dead who are buried at Beth
lehem church, in Union county.
Mr. W. R. Walker has a Mr. Hol
comb, of West Springs, attending to
his farm in this section.
Messrs. Ben McCulloch and Jesse
Orr went to Hickory Grove last Friday
on business.
Some of the farmers have com
menced plowing. The supply of com
mercial fertilizers will not come up to
that of former years if present indi
cations are taken as a basis of calcula
tion.
The cooing of the dove reminds us
of the approach of springtime.
Rev. R. p. Smith, of Asheville, N.
C., who has been for several years en
gaged in the missionary work in West
ern North Carolina, has had his work
extended so as to cover the entire
State. He is a native of this State
and is well known to a large number
of our readers, who will be glad to
hear of his promotion. He and his
family are good friends of The Ledger
and take an interest in our State and
county affairs.

Of all the beings on earth commis
sioned by his Satanic majesty to
spread his kingdom among mankind,
the professional mischief making liar
is the arch demon. His presence and
influence is seen and felt more or less
is every community. Nothing escapes
his poisonous breath, and friendship
between neighbors and communities
is the chief object of his attacks.
By a Satanic artfulness, fresh from
the workshop of the master mechanic
of the infernal regions, he manages to
make himself popular with those
whom he chooses as his victims. The
purity of the noblest womanhood and
the highest order of Christian charac
ter are not immune to the venomous
touch of his slimy tongue.
Some cases of small pox are reported
on the other side of Broad river.

In last Friday’s Ledger we notice
that Mr. C. F. Inman has renewed his
subscription to The Ledger. We lost
the bet and “Clough” in entitled to the
stakes. Before Christmas we spoke to
Mr. Inman about renewing his sub
scription, when something like the fol
lowing took place between us:
Correspondent:—“Don’t von want
to take advantage of The Led
ger s proposition to get the paper for
another year for $1.00?”
Mr. Inman:—“My time will be out in
March and I’ll renew then.”
Cor.: “But you’ll have to pay $1.50
for it then.”
came a tumble in the price of cotton
far below the cost of production.
Then follows a cut in the price of the
papor( as asserted by the publisher)
to boar its part of the burden so se
riously effecting the farmers and the
country at large.
And so we lost the bet. Yet we have
the poor satisfaction of knowing that
It was "Clough’s" bad luck rather than
his good Judgment that made him tho
winner.
Mrs. "J. L. S.’ is quite sick and has
been so for several days, but she has
n’t got to the point where she thinks
a little whiskey would help her.
We made a hurried trip to Gaffney
yesterday, during which wo met sever
al parties from different sections of
the county, all of whom (the farming
people, especially) seem to be in great
hopes that a much needed revolution
is now In progress that will eventu
ally place thorn and the country at
large in a much better position than
they have ever been.
The Wilkinsvllle ginnery Is now at

Dear Sir:—In renly to your letter of

journed on the 4th without passing the
new' district bill. I was In favor of any
compromise that would secure legisla
tion, hut the opposition to the hill un
less it designated Rock Hill and Spar

the matter will come up again next

Sarratt-Gaffney.

were quietly married at the Baptist
parsonage in this city. Rev. A. M.
Simms performed the ceremony in the

Mr. Sarratt is the father of Mr. Boyd
Sarratt, proprietor of the Exchange

bride is a daughter of Mrs. Myra Gaff

The Ledger joins in extending con
gratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Sarratt,
and wishes them many years of happi
ness and prosperity. They will make
their home at Limestone.

Inquest Held Monday at Blacksburg
Over Body of Robt, Moore, Jr.
On Tuesday of last week Robert
Moore, Jr., and Gus Moss had a dif
ficulty near Blacksburg, an account of
which was published In last Friday’s
Ledger. In the difficulty Moore re
ceived wounds which caused his death
Monday morning.
Coroner Vinesett held an Inquest
Monday over the body of Moore at
which Dr. Wm. Anderson, of Blacks
burg, who had attended him and also
made the post morte n examination,
testified as follows:
That, he was called to attend Moore,
and found him suffering from flesh
wounds, one on left side of neck, one
on top of head, and one on right shoul
der, all having the appearance of hav
ing been made by some sharp Instru
ment, most probably a knife. There
were several more scratches on head
and left shoulder. I sewed up the
wounds and he was taken to the
house of Mr. Walker Moss' by his
aunt, Mrs. Moss. When I first saw
Moore he was delirious, disorderly
and seemed to be suffering great
pain Before I could proceed with
my work I had to put him under the
influence of chloroform. On Wednes
day morning I visited Moore at Mr.
Moss’ and found his mental condi
tion clear, though still a little cloudy
and dull, and his wound doing nicely.
Early Monday morning was called to
see him: found him suffering greatly
and very restless. He continued to
get worse, became unconscious, and
died about 10 o’clock."
The following verdict was rendered
by the coroner’s jury:
“Being a lawful jury of Inquest, who
boiug charged and sworn to Inquire
for the. State of South Carolina where
and by what means the said Robert
Moore, Jr., came to his death, upon
their votes do say that he, Robert
Moore, came to his death by flesh
wounds Inflicted by a sharp Instru
ment, or a blow on the head by a
blunt instrument, in the hands of Gus
Moss, or Estelle Smith: and so the
jury aforesaid do say that the afore
said Gus Moss or Estelle Smith, in
manner and form aforesaid, Robert
Moore then and there feloniously did
kill, against the peace and dignity of
the State of South Carolina.”

like a miracle. I was so badly off
that life seemed almost unendur
