Dailey’s gin, between Appalache
and Duncans, was burned Tuesday
night. Two bales of cotton, all the
machinery, gin and saw mill fixtures
were destroyed. The origin of the
fire is unknown.
Fire destroyed the barn of Claude
Lanford, a prosperous farmer living
five miles west of Spartanburg Tues
day. One mule, a wagon, a large
quantity of fodder and forage, fifteen
sacks of guano, and harness and
gearings were also consumed. The
origin of the fire is unknown.
Sam Brown, a hard-working col
ored farmer on Capt. Ollie Cauble's
place, was in Greenville Wednesday
looking for his cousin, Green Burrus,
who has been missing since Sunday.
Burrus, who works on a contract in
Pickens, is said to be not only well
balanced, but he i; a good, st ady,
quiet worker. He is about thirty
years old, "and lives with Brown.
Harmond Boyd, a colored mute of
Spartanburg, was lodged in iail Wed
nesday on a warrant charging him
with breaking into the mail boxes ou
the Clifton rural route. The warrant
sets forth that Boyd broke into the
house of Lum Petty and stole a key
which fits the box in which Petty’s
mail is placed by the rural carrier.
This key also fits boxes of neighbors,
near Potty’s home. Packages and
papers were stolen from several
boxes on March 15th.
A white man whose name appears
to be D. Pesatta. died in a mysterious
sort of way at. Spartanburg Monday,
and the coroner’s inquest has been un
able to throw any light on the mat
ter. Pasatta was in the picture en
larging business, but dressed well
and seemed to be a quiet man. He
went to Spartanburg March 4th and
since. He was found in an uncon-
since. He ws found in an uncon
scious condition in his room with a
black eye and died as a result of this
wound. He said that he had been
in a fight with an unknown man. who
struck him after a quarrel about a
picture he had sold him.
East Wednesday night as No. 97,
the fast mail train on the Southern,
came flying down the grade from
Greenville approaching Saluda tres
tle, the engineer in peering into the
darkness before him was shocked
to see the headlight of another train
approaching. He immediately re
versed his engine, applied the air
b.akes and with his fireman jumped
from the engine. By a miracle the
trains came to a standstill befoi-**
meeting. The engineer and fireman
were severely hurt, but manged to
carry the train to Liberty, where
they turned it over to another crew.
It seems that a misunderstanding of
orders was responsible for what came
near being a serious and costly col
lision.
' In a cutting affray early Tuesday
morning’on Main street in Bock Hill,
just In front of Neely’s market, G.
W. Bailey, a bicycle repairer, re

at the hands of Edgar Kimball. A
difficulty occurred ^several days ago
between Kimball and Henry Bailey,
a young kinsman of the wounded man.

other heavy Instrument. The uncle

Justice Administered to Offenders
Against the City’s Laws.
Business has been rather lively at
the mayor’s court this week, and May
or Gaffney has had a pretty hard prob
lem to work out in dispensing with
some of it.
In Tuesday morning’s court the first
offender of the week was John, or
“Bud,’’ Lanham, a mulatto gentleman
of leisure, who was up for petit larce
ny—the theft being some sausage
purloined from the market of Demp
sey & Hawkins. John was too lazy
to work for a living, and food being a
necessary article to sustain life—even
though an indolent one—he, perforce,
had to get his living not by “the
sweat of his brow,” as is the Divine
command, but by his cleverness in
“swiping.” He plead guilty to the
charge, and was fined ten dollars or
thirty days under the supervision of
the chaingang boss. John did not have
the necessary ten, so he was compelled
to take the days; but work was some
thing altogether foreign to his nature,
and after a day of it he left for a
more congenial clime.
Two colored damsels, Viola Byars
and Lula Lee, were next on the
docket. It seems that one of them
had tried to alienate the affections of
the other’s lord and master, and a
scrap was the result of a meeting be
tween them on the day before. Rocks
and “cuss words” were the principal
weapons used, and neither received
any serious injury. A perfect swarm
of witnesses were on hand, but, as
usual, not one of them could tell which
one of the combatants had begun the
fight. As they both admitted their
guilt, however, this was not of so
much consequence. As Viola «eemed
to be the aggressor she was fine<j $5.00
or ten days, and Lula $2.50 or ten days.
They both paid, as usual.
Wednesday morning the court room
was crowded again with the “dark el
ement” of the town—many as wit
nesses, and more as loafers, loungers
and seekers after something to vary
the monotony of ap idle existence.
Nathan Jefferies, colored, was the
first one on the list of offenders. Na
than had found an axe in the road;
another negro had lost one, and there
by came the matter before Mayor Gaff
ney for an airing. Nathan proved that
he found the axe, but owing to the
fact that he kept it for a month with
out making an effort to find the own
er, and knowing that his brother in
color had lost it, he was fined $2.50 or
five. He paid.
Then came several dusky female
members of the “upper ten” of the
city, who had laid aside their maiden
ly instincts and modesty and engaged
in a free-for-all fight, with the usual
trimmings of certain emphatic and
highly-colored words which are not
laid down in the catechism—said fight
having taken place the night before at
a “festibul” at Miller’s “Big Four” res
taurant on Grenard street. Only one
of the young Amazons was present,
fhe others having put up bonds for
their appearance, and forfeiting them
by not showing up for trial. As in the
other case, none of the witnesses could
tell about the beginning of the row,
and the mayor let the lone offender
off with a fine of $2.50, which she paid.
Nelson Brown, colored, plead guilty
to the charge of being mixed up in the
same melee and loaded to the muzzle
with tanglefoot, and he paid $2.50 for
his little recreation.
There was no case in court yester
day morning; and Mayor Gaffney was
given a little time in which to recu
perate for the next ordeal, which will
come soon without a doubt.

Who Can Beat This?
Mrs. D. P. Sides, of this city,
started up her incubator with 114
eggs on January 21st, and every egg
hatched but four.
The second time all hatched but
three; and a few’ mornings ago she
took off 107 chicks from 112 eggs.
The other five were pipped, but “wo
man-like,” as Mrs. Sides said, she
opened the door and they stuck in the
shell and could not get out.
Mrs. Sides says to give her incu-
bators in preference to hens every
time; that the reason some have had
poor results is, they neglect to give
proper moisture. The directions with
her incubator say to give no moist
ure, and she tried it so with her first
hatch and from it did not do so well.
She now gives plenty of moisture,
and says she could not wish for bolter
success.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop

Wilkinsville, March 28.—Mr. Jeff
Estes and Ed Mitchell, of Hopewell,
York county, went to Gaffney last
Thursday with cotton.
We regret to learn that Mr. Albert
McKown, of Mercer, lost a mule
lately. Work animals are high this
season and such a loss falls heavily
upon a farmer.
Mrs. W. C. Blackwell and her
daughter, Miss Maud, spent the day
with Mrs. “J. L. S.” and daughter
last Friday.
Mr. “Tosh” Foster is running his
saw mill at this place. He’s a hust
ler.
It you don’t want to insult a man
better not accuse his dog of sucking
eggs.
If you want to know* what young
man that was at church last Sabbath
with a boquet pinned to the lappel
of his coat ask your unmarried daugh
ter. If you don’t want to know’ ask
your neighbor’s single son.
We understand that a suspicious
looking craft went down Broad river
week before last, bound for Lock
hart shoals. What it was freighted
with we are unable to say, but sup
pose part of it might have been “bug
juice.”
While at Gaffney last Thursday
we saw Chief Duncan, of Blacks
burg, bring in a candidate for the
chaingang. If all the officers of the
law were as vigilant as Chief Dun
can there would lie fewer lawbreak
ers at large. He is a terror to evil
doers. The municipal officers and
city police of Gaffney are good ones,
too. They have done a great deal
more for this county than they have
been thanked for, by sending meii
home to their families sober.
There was a time in the history of
Western York when if Lige Aiken or
Turk Turner ever got the course of
bees they were sure to find the tree,
so, if Chief Lockhart, of the city po
lice, or his corps of assistants, can
get the course they will locate the
“suck.”
To Deputy U. S. Marshall Bert
Hallman the people of Cherokee
county owe much for the suppressioti
of the illicit whiskey traffic in the ru
ral districts, and still there is work
for him to do.
The reestablishment of the Jenk
ins distillery in Cherokee county Is
a fruitful source of regret with the
temperance and prohibition peoplu.
But underneath the surface of public
and popular -entiment there lies a.
plexus of circumstances which effect
the interest of Cherokee county peo-
j pie far more than the establishment
of a so-called lawful distillery—bad
as that institution may be. Of till
we will be ready to speak when the
j public is ready to hear.
If you didn’t know, or have forgot-
| ten, who came to church with Mis.->
j Jones last Sabbath just ask your
. wife.
Mr. Sam J. Strain closed Ks schoor
i last Friday and is now between the
j plow handles pulling the oell cord
| over “Mack.”
Among our veteran comrades we
i were pleased to meet Mr. Thomar
Eubanks at Gaffney last Thursday.
Mrs. Columbus Moorehead, of
Hickory Grove, was at Gaffney last
Thursday.

Enoree Presbytery will meet at
Union next Tuesday, Auril 4th, at

To Mr. Judson Alexander, of
Lawn, we are Indebted for a copy
of a speech of the late Henry R.
Jackson, of Savannah, Ga., under the
auspices of the Young Men’s Liter
ary Association, November 13th, 1891.
His subject was "The Wanderer

tional rights of the South to secede

We are told by those who claim to
know that the expense of feeding Mr.

speaker will doubtless be selected for
the occasion, of which notice will be
given in due time.
To find out what kind of a woman

To My Ledger Friends:—We are
getting The Ledger and et^oy read
ing it very much. We are having
fine weather here now; would like
to be at home very much on the farm,
will not leave here for ten days yet.
I have just taken my morning bath
and will endeavor to give you a few
dots about the town, as I have more
time to spend than money. I am put
ting up with a Dr. Bird. Court is
going on here and Judge Kerr, the
presiding judge, is also boarding at
Dr. Bird’s, so you may know I am
at an all right place. The judge is
a fine man.
I think this is the worst negro
town that I was ever in. They tell
me there are two negro lawyers in
court here and they will scrouge you
off the sidewalk if you don’t give way
to them. Judge Kerr'tells me that
this is the worst negro town in the
State of Arkansas, and that there
are counties in this State that a ne
gro is not allowed ot go in; and oth
ers that they may go in and stay dur
ing day time, but have to be out
when night comes.
YVe went out to the horse races
yesterday and they were fine. I was
surprised to find such a fine place
out at the race tracks—they have
spent forty-five thousand dollars to
fit it up. They had good music, and
it would have been quite a show to
our Southern women to have seen
those Northern women betting on the
races. I saw a man that had drop
