A special from Lancaster under the date of March 24, says: The report reaches here that one of the students of Winthrop College, Miss Eliza Mob ley, had a narrow escape from death one day last week. While leaning against the railing of au elevator shaft, in the building, her support suddenly gave way, precipiating her into the opening and causing her to fall a distance of three stories. Strange to say, she was not seriously hurt, escaping with a few painful bruises. A Church street trolley and a bug gy collided on Magnolia street Friday afternoon opposite Cudd’s livery sta ble in Spartanburg. Frank McMillan was in the buggy and had just driven out of the stable when the collision occurred. The vehicle was consider ably damaged. The mule, which was hitched to the buggy became frighten ed and dashed up the street and turn ed down into Morgan Square. The animal was brought to a haul! oppo site the Spartan Inn. Mr. McMillan, who remained in the battered buggy held on to the mule until it was stop ped. Julius Felder, a young man about 24 years old, who is in the employ of the branch fo the Atlantic Coast Line running from’ Creston to Pregnals, met with a very serious accident Fri day morning at the Creston junction. Mr. Felder was preparing to couple approaching cars when his foot got fastened in the switcli frog and he was unable to remove it, the cars taking his leg off just above the ankle and dragging him some distance. The wounded young man was taken to Orangeburg for medical aid. It is thought that he has sustained some internal injuries. Near Dunbarton Thursday morning Mr. Jas. H. Skinner shot and instantly killed Mr. Mailer Anderson. Both par ties are well known and are residents of Dunbarton, a station in Barnwell county on the Atlantic Coast Line railway. Mr. Anderson was a planter, Mr. Skinner a merchant, and both have families. About a month ago, dt seems, the two men had a difficulty, since which time their personal re lations have not been pleasant. Thursday morning Mr. Skinner was bird hunting when he met Mr. Ander son. Words were passed, the quarrel was renewed, and then the homicide. Mr. Skinner gave himself up to the sheriff. Mr. Bruce Howie, a young man em ployed as a carpenter on the house that Is being erected near the corner of Sumter and Laurel streets in Co lumbia, had a narrow escape from serious and possibly fatal injuries one day last week. He was working on the ground under a scaffold built around the house near the top, when a hatchet was knocked off the scaf fold and fell on Howie’s head, knock ing him senseless. Fortunately the blunt end of the hatchet instead of the sharp, cutting side struck him, or his injuries, which proved to be slight, might have been dangerous. Dr. S. M. Deal was called and dressed the wound. What might have been a horrible accident, and was a mirculous escape, occurred Saturday morning at N. H. Driggers’ lumber plant in the eastern part of Columbia. Will Fowles, a ne- gor, was caught in some shafting and whirled round and round, his body striking the ceiling and yet he was not killed. The negro had gone up to this shafting, which was placed some 12 feet above the floor, and as he was placing a small belt on its pulley, one of his shirt sleeves be came entangled in the turning shaft ing. Round and round he went, per haps 40 times. He made no sound, be ing terror stricken, and his clothing was being torn from him. Finally he fell to the floor, without & stitch of clothing on his person. The whole occurrence took but a minute, and by the time the machinery had been shut down Fowles was on the floor. Isom Booker, colored, who was convicted in Spartanburg county on the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, and sentenced to serve two years on the chain gang, but who made his escape in 1902, has been captured in Knoxville, Tenn. He will be delivered to Sheriff Nlch- olls within the next few days by the sheriff of Knoxville. Saturday morn ing Sheriff Nicholls received a tele phone message from the sheriff of Knoxville stating that Isom Booker, who was wanted In Spartanburg county, having escaped from the chain gang, had been arrested in Knoxville. Sheriff Nicholls instructed that the prisoner be delivered to the jail au thorities at Spartanburg,, stating that a reward of $25 had been offered for the arrest and delivery of Bookor and the reward would he paid as soon as the prisoner was delivered into the keeping of Jailor Haves. Booker es caped from chaiu gang No. 1 in No vember 1902. « Zeb Robinson has bought the Sam’l. Jefferies gin lot on Buford street and will improve the same. “Steady” Lipscomb bought a lot of “linters” from the Wllkinsville Oil Mill and shipped the same to Ger many. Mr. G. L. Martin, who was seriously burned about a month ago, died last Thursday. His remains were interred at the Ezell graveyard. Barney Clary has installed a hand some and up-to-date meat box in his market. Barney is a Cherokee county hoy who has made a success by atten tion to business. The Ledger tenders its thanks to Mr. W. D.

Dr. M. 11. Dougherty, a color ed eminent divine of the A. M. E. church, who is now pastor of the above named church in Gaffney, and also of the same denomination lo cated in Blacksburg, comes highly recommended, by white and black. The doctor is indeed above the average colored ministers, having pas- tored a white congregation in Wa’er ton, N. Y. Aany of the white friends in Gaffney or in Blacksburg will be highly entertained if they will attend any of his services. Thousands crowd to hoar him, both white and colored. He is equaled by few and excelled by none. He Is now planning to remodel and paint each of his churches, and will call on the white friends to aid him in his laudable effort. Suppose we help them. At the First Baptist. At the First Baptist church Sunday, Dr. Simms preached a splendid ser mon to a large congregation from Paul’s letters to the Ephesians. The discourse was clear, forceful and con cise, full of sound logic and an elo quent plean to the unsaved and un righteous to turn from their evil ways and accept the free salvation offered by Christ. A feature of the morning service was a beautiful solo sweetly sung by Miss McClesky, which we greatly enjoyed by the congregation. The ac companiment was played by Mrs. Gooding, who presided at the organ. Dr. Simms appointed the second Sunday in April as a mission rally day at the church. There was no service at the churcn at night. Two Gaffney Boys. The many friends of Waite Ham rick and O. P. Richardson, of Gaffney, will be delighted to learn that both have made the baseball team of Wak * Forest College, Waite is the catcher and O. P. plays left field. Both stand well in their classes and it is a distinc tion as well as an honor for them to be on the .ball team, for two cleverer young gentlemen cannot.be found any where. The Wak’e Forest Weekly, the college journal, has this to say of Hamrick: “Hamrick deserves special mention for his throwing to second, and the general head work in managing the team, both being of the highest order. He is rapidly rounding into form, having made continual improvemen during the past week.” To the Buying Public. I take this pleasure of announcing to the buying public that after April 1st, 1905, I will operate the bakery formerly owned by J. F. Fincken, and shall strive to keep my products fully up to their usual high standard of purity and excellence. I shall sell strictly for cash, and shall run no ac count. I respectfully solicit a continuance of the liberal patronage bestowed up on the business under Mr. Fincken, and promise on my part, to give satis faction in every detail. Very respectfully, D. A.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest. Wllkinsville, March 23.—Your cor respondent took dinner last Tuesday with Mr. and Mrs. John D. McCulloch,, of Sarratts, where he met Messrs. Ben McCulloch and Jack Kendrick. Mr. John D. McCulloch is a dyed-in- the-wool “cotton growers’ man” and believes in sticking to the farmers pledge to reduce the acreage and hold cotton for ten cents, let the result, bo what it may. He has his cotton of last year’s crop on hand and won take nine dollars and 99 cents per hundred* for it before next October. If all the farmers of the Southern States were like John McCulloch the cotton buyers would soon be forced to terms, that the producers dictate. One good thing about it is he don't have to sell. He has his farm in nice fix and raises all he needs (or most of it) for home consumption. This is what we call model farming, and he doesn’t make a blowing horn about It, either. Mr. “Laus” Garner, of Pinckney, is laying off terraces for Mrs. Jane Hughes, of Gowdeysville. Laus is a master-mechanic at this kind oi workmanship. The chaiugang force is blasting at the rock quarry, getting material for fixing the public roads in this section. Capt. Dick Jolly is in charge of the work. Mr. “Tosh” Foster is running his saw mill on full time and turning out a quantity of lumber eac* day. Mr. “Dick” Harris is ditching for Jeff D. Hughes, {n his Gilkey creek bottoms. Land is plowing very well. The February freezes have pulverized it and left it dn much better fix than we usually find it in the early spring time. Rev. W. H. White will preach at Salem the first Sabbath in April at 11 o’clock. Congressman Finley has sent sev eral copies of the U. S. agricultural reports to his constituents in this neighborhood. Besides, he has sent out a number of seed packages. We don’t suppose there is a representa tive in congress who takes more in terest in his constituents than he does. Mr. John Estes, Sr., who has been on the sick list for sometime, is able to be out and attend to his farm work now. The fruit crop seems to be rather backward this spring. This, we think, is a better sign that it will not be killed by frost. . Sweet potato seed is scarse an this section this spring. Most of it has rotted from tho effects of the cold weather. Those who kept seed—es pecially Vineless varieties—had no trouble in selling it at $1.00 per bushel. A darkey on Mr. John McCulloch’s place has caught and killed six big hawks this winter. He is entitled to the thanks of the housewives for several miles around in his neighbor hood. A few who have time to spare are catching fish now out of Thickety creek above the mill dam. A raft in Gilkey creek just above the Hoey ford needs to be taken out, as it is ruining the crossing at that. place. But what’s everybody’s busi-; ness is nobody’s. We don’t like to be always com-1 plaining. In fact, it's wrong to do so. If we can help ourselves wo ought to do so, and if we can’t, just let things go as they are. Mr. Ben McCulloch is a farmer who j makes farming pay. He has been selling corn to the Hickory Grove merchants this season at 75 cents per i bushel. Mr. Charner Morris, in the forks of Broad and Pacolet rivers, is a | farmer right. He made last year about 250 or 300 bushels of corn, gathered 2300 bundles of good fodder and made six bales of cotton, and had no one to help him. He didn’t hire a day’s work from anyone. Charner Is a worker of the right kind. Mrs. C. F. Inman Is still unwell. The R. F. D. mail is a great im provement. over the old style. The cnly trouble with us is getting our mail off. It takes one whole day for it to reach Gaffney, and the conse quence is mail to be sent off In a hurry is taken to the Hickory Grove line. Mr. Malcom Lowery is a prompt | official, and is generally on time when tho roads are in good condition. Several new houses are in process of building just now in this section. Mr. L. R. Gaines will meet with the Abingdon creek congregation on the | third Sabbath of April In the inter est of the Cherokee county orphan age. J. L. S.
