His face was bruised and scarred and there was a dark spot about one of his eyes. The police are of the opinion that the death of Priexotto was not due to foul play, but that it was due to natural causes. In fact, it is said that the attending physician will make an affidavit that death was not caused from foul play. DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN. Happenings All Over the State Taken ’rom Our Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Readers- The store of C. D. Whitman, lo cated in the Spartan Inn block, in Spartanburg, was sold at auction Wednesday, the purchase price be ing $5,900.75. and was bid in by P. B. Lankford, of the firm of Johnson & Lankford. Tom Austin, a former Greenville policeman, who was struck on the head with a rake in a livery stable in that city Sunday afternoon, is not expected to live. Tom Ross, the as sailant. is prepared to give himself up to the police at any time. The entire police force of Green- vile, with one exception, has been reelected. J. U. Jenkins, J. B. Ligon and J. L. Kitchens were elected to succeed deceased members of the force. The Greenville police force numbers 19 men, including tin* chief and two sergeants. W. H. Tokey, freight engineer of the Charleston A: Western Carolina Mrs. Wm. Jefferies Has Gone to Her Reward. Many hearts in Gaffney were sad dened yesterday when it was learned that Mrs. Wm. Jefferies was dead. This good woman had been in ill health for several months and while her death was not entirely nnexpected, still it came rather suddenly Wednes day night about 11 o’clock at her home below Gaffney, and the news of her demise was a shock to her numerous friends throughout Cherokee. . Funeral services will be held at the residence at Home at 10 o’clock this morning, and the remains will then be brought to Gaffney and interred in Oakland cemetery. Mrs. Jefferies was about seventy-two years old, and was well known throughout lower Cherokee, and in Cnion county, where she had many relatives. She was a good, pious wo man, and was greatly loved and ad mired for her kind and gentle nature, her sweet disposition and her many deeds of charity among her neighbors every ready to lend a helping hand and sympathizing heart to any and all who were in distress and went to her for aid. Truly she will be sadly missed in The community where she A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE.

The de tails of the wreck are not known though it is supposed to have been caused by the rails spreading, duell ing the train. The property loss was considerable. Adjutant General Frost will send a full team of thirteen men to the Sea girt, N. J., military shoot the latter part of August. The team wUl he selected from a match shoot to he held in Charleston the latter part of July. The team to go to Seagirt will likely be in charge of Capt. T. T. Hyde, of Charleston. A man by the name of Wyatt, an operative in the Spartan Mill, Spar tanburg, struck a fellow workman in the head with a hammer Tuesday morning, inflicting a painful .wound. At first it was thought that Wyatt had killed his man. The name of the injured man could not be learned. Wyatt made his escape after being chased by the police as far as Spar tanburg Junction. Lou Walker, alias Robert Fisher, w r as arrested in Asheville Tuesday by the police of that city on information that he is wanted in Spartanburg county on the charge of robbery. He had considerable money with him. He had just purchased a ticket for Cincinnati when he was nabbed by the Asheville police. Inquiry was made Wednesday at the station house and at the sheriff’s office, but at neither office could a record be found to show that Fisher or Walker was wanted there for robbery. It is pos sible that he is wanted by a magis trate in the upper part of the county. Daniel Barry, of Tucapau, is suffer ing from wounds received in a runa way. On last Saturday night Mr. I Barry drove a pair of horses hitched to a carriage to Wellford to meet train No. 40 and as the train rolled up it ran over some torpedoes and frightened the horses, which started to run. Mr. Barry endeavored to stop them and was entangled in the wheels. He was thrown to the ground, both wheels passing over his bod”, and the step of the carriage struck him, indicting a painful wound in the back of the head. He was taken into Coan & Query’s storee, where medical aid was at once secured. Mr. Barry is still suffering a great deal from his wounds. The matter of holding the State Confederate reunion is still in the air. It is generally believed that the time for this event will be changed in or der that the soldiers will come to gether in the fall, but as yet there lias been no official announcement as to this. A number of cities are af ter it. but it is generaly believed that Columbia wil stand the best chance if the reunion is held in the fall and sufficient notice is given the veterans. General T. W. Carwile Tuesday telegraphed that he had not yet named the time and place for the event and for this reason action will probably he taken at the next meet ing of the board of directors of the chamber of commerce looking toward a postponement of the event until the fall and then secure it. With the conference for education in the South to he held in Columbia the latter part of this month it was thought best to take this action and in this way the veterans visiting Columbia will re ceive a royal welcome. Did Daniel Priexotto, of Spartan- burg, die from effects of personal in juries from unknown assailants? This is a question that his brother, C. S. Priexotto, of Augusta, is now making an effort to unravel. Mr. Priexotto arrived in Spartanburg Tuesday morning from Augusta and he is now at work on the case. Dan iel Priexotto, it will be remembered, died in a boarding house on Magno lia street in Spartanburg several nights ago. An Inquest was held and the coroner’s jury returned a verdict that he came to his death from con cussion of the brain, caused by in juries inflicted in a manner unknown to the jury. The deceased had ueen in Spartanburg about one month prior to his death. He was engaged in so liciting for a picture house. The day prior to his death he appeaerd at his boarding house and stated that he Besides a husband she leaves five children, one son and four daughters, to mourn the loss of one whose place can never be filled. They are: Dr. C. A. Jefferies, of this city: Mrs. J. D. Goudelock of this city: Mrs. C. O. Al len, of Greenville; Mrs. D. Baxter Wood, of Pacolet: and Miss Mamie Jefferies. The Ledger joins numerous friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved ones. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. J. E. Shea, superintendent of the Clifton and Glendale mills, and Sam T.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest. Wilkinsville, April 3.—Notwith standing General Stonewall Jackson was noted for his sangfroid in battle and suavity in modo, he was no less quick at repartee when the occasion demanded it. On one occasion it was reported to him that a certain colonel in his command was wounded. “Ah!” said the general in reply to his in formant, “did you say that Colonel \vas wounded?” “Yes,” said the reporter. “Well, it must have been by an accidental discharge of his duty, said the general. Of this incident we are reminded when we hear of a long-forbearing teacher using the rod or other means of corporal punishment on an obstrep erous boy who can lie influenced by no other means, and the parents, taking exception to his action. Sometimes an “accidental discharge of duty” has fatal results. Old and life-long observers tell us they never saw- such a mild March as we have had this year. We don’t hink there was a day during the month that out-door work couldn’t have been done with the utmost comfort. But the old saying (if true), “A fog in March a frost in May,’ forebodes dis aster to the growing crops. Farmers are complaining that they can’t get prompt shipments of guano. Perhaps the dealers and railroads have entered the combine to reduce the so-called cotton acreage and surplus this year. A few have planted corn and sugar cane seed. From what we learn Congressman Finley has succeeded in putting R. F. D. mail service in every section of the , Fifth Congressional District. There are few (if any) star routes His sympathy and divine power in the same act—healing the impotent man. When the mother of Napoleon was asked which one of her children she liked the best, she replied: “The one who needs me most.” What is truer than a mother’s love or stronger than the Saviour’s pardoning power? To know and confess our need of a Sa viour is all that is necessary to in voke His help. His guidance and His protection. He came not to call the righteous hut sinners to repentance. Mrs. J. F. Wright is quite sick. Last -Sabbath we met on the Union side of Pacolet at least 150 colored people coming from church and Sun day school. They were quiet and mannerly. Surely Ethiopia will soon stretch out her hands to God. One who knew the place two years ago would scarcely recognize Skull Shoals on Pacolet river now. As he enters the narrow defile leading to the ford he is awe stricken at his surroundings. The magnificent stone pillars which supported the finest iron bridge that ever spanned that stream still stand as faithful reminders of the awful catastrophe of June Cth, 1903. The.roaring, splashing, surging wa ters that told of their immense pow er to run machinery has given way to the gentle rippling of the placid stream that glides mildly over the sands which have buried the rugged shoals far beneath their surface. The gentle winds as thev whistle through the long festooned boughs of the willows that swfen the bosom of the water and keep ti.re to the mourn ful requiem add solemnity to the weirdness of the scene. While crossing the track of the wa ter the traveler feels as if he were in the midst of the valley of Jehosha- phat as seen by the prophets of Eze kiel. Perhaps beneath his horse's hoofs sleeps in an unmarked grave some victim of the greatest calamity this section of the country has ever un dergone. . J. L. S. THROUGHOUT THE TARHEEL STATE ARKANSAS LETTER. RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE IN NORTH CAROLINA. The ginners’ report which brings W. B. Wilson, of Lock Hill, spent j year’s cotton crop up to nearly fourteen million bales is unwelcome news to a lot of cotton holders. Some are letting it off on the market at what they can get for it. This, it must be understood, is not a general thing, and won’t be. Sometimes peo ple’s circumstances force them to do things greatly against their will, and it is unfair to criticize them under such conditions. There is no class of people more sincere and loyal than the farmers, hut thfeir conditions are so different—the one from the other— that they are forced to do things they don’t wish to do, the result of which Tuesday in the city.

Columbia, April 4.—During both January and February the tempera ture was persistently low and unfa vorable for the growth of winter grains or of truck, but with the ad vent of March the conditions improv ed rapidly. The latter part of March was w-armer than usual and stimulat ed the rapid growth of all forms of vegetation. The temperature averag ed about five degrees per day above iy>rmal. The month was usually free from frost, only one heavy and two light ones having been generally noted, and none of these was damag ing. During the last week day tem peratures above 80 degrees were common. The precipitation was below normal during January, and about normal during February, and was deficient during March, when less than half the usual amount fell. In the first two months of the year the coditions un der which"the precipitation occurred, and the portion in the form of snow, sleet and frozen rain melting as it did slowly, were conducive to the retention of practically all the pre cipitation that fell, and the soil be came well supplied with moisture, but the almost entire absence of rain during the second half of March al lowed clay lands to become baked and hard, but in most places and on all kinds of upland soil the ground is in good condition for tillage. Plowing and the preparation of lands, generally, made rapid progress during the second half of March and are at this date, as well advanced as usual. Upland corn planting is nearly fin ished in the southeastern counties where some is up to good stands; in the central and western ones corn planting is well under way. or has only begun in tho latest regions. While a few fields of cotton have been planted in the southern counties, this work is not really under way, and the preparation of lands scarcely half finished. Other spring crops have nearly all been planted in the earlier portions of the State. Rice planting has been begun in the Col leton district. Gardens are either planted or ready to plant.

Attorney General Gilmer returned to Raleigh Tuesday afternoon from Washington, bringing a receipt from Clerk McKinney, of the United States Supreme Court, for $27,400 to be paid South Dakota through its attorney upon surrender of bonds sued on. A meeting was held in the city hall at Winston Monday night to complete arrangements for the firemen’s tour nament, which will he held there July 18, 19 and 20. President J. D. Mc Neill, of the State association, and Mayor O. B. Eaton spoke. The total cash prizes aggregate $1,050. Mary stiles, colored, was killed at James City, Craven county, by an At lantic & North Carolina freight train Monday morning. The woman was on a trestle over a small creek. A small girl was with her and in her efforts to save the girl she was caught and dragged about 100 feet. Her body was horribly mangled. The girl es caped injury. At 8 o'clock Saturday night fire was discovered in the store of J. L. Har ris’ Sons, at Elkin, in a lot of cotton bolt goods. The hard work of a few who happened to be near extinguished the flames, entailing a loss of nearly $800. Had not the fire been dis covered at the time this would have proven the most disastrous fire in the history of that town. The origin of the fire is unknown. Pinehurst’s great annual meet of the golfers in which the winner will gain possession of the North and South championship trophy, began there Tuesday and wil! continue until Saturday, inclusive.

To My Many Ledger Friends:—As I have more time to waste than mon ey to spend just now I shall endeavor to give you a few dots on my trip to this place. I take my baths in the morning, and it takes me till eleven o’clock to get through: then I have the remainder of the day to loaf in. I have been try ing to "take in* the town” and the suburbs as best I could. I find that there is a great demand here for building material and carpenters and bricklayers. I find that it costs some thing to build here. Everything has to be shipped here that is used. They hhve to ship their brick and they cost nine and ten dollars per thousand to lay them down. The sand used has to he shipped, also, and it costs $1.50 a yard. A lot of the lumber is got ten off wagons that haul it forty miles across tho mountains. It costs as much to excavate a foundation for a lot of the buildings here as to put up the buildings themselves. For in stance: I saw a lot of four and five story buildings that had the top and rear end just about level with the earth. Labor is very high in this city: bricklayers get from $5.00 to $8.00 per day; carpenters get from $3.00 to $5.00. and the cheapest lal>or $1.50 to $2.00, and they only work eight hours a day. Rents are very high here: the lady that I am hoard ing with has a very ordinary house with sixteen rooms, and she tells me she pays one hundred dollars a month for it, and thinks she gets it very reasonably. I am told that the government has two million dollars invested here and it turns loose a lot of money in this city. It controls ail of the bath houses, and has rules and regulations governing them, which jf violated re sults in the water being cut off from them. One of the hath houses was cut off yesterday on account of the rules having been broken. The one who had rented it was shut out for six months, and they say that there is no chance for him to get hack till the time is up. This is quite a fast place: about all the way you can tell the men from women is, they don’t dress alike. The women go to the club houses and to the horse races, and bet on them just the same as men. adnuoySHRLD the same as men, and you will se doz ens of them on the streets riding horseback just like men. I am told that they have two deadly poisonous insects in this country: the tarantula and centipede. One was killed in our bath house the other day and I have been on the lookout for some more of them ever since. YVe had quite a sensation in this place a few days ago. A woman pois oned three of her children: she said that some man told her that he would marry her if she would get rid of her children, and she put poison in her vegetables for dinner and They died from eating them. It is said that she now says she wishes she had them back with her. This leaves all us Gaffney people doing Very well. T. G. An Omission.

Y., than Mrs. Pattie D Hall, as she belongs to one of the best families and has a larsre rircle of friends and acquaintances. In a recent interview Mrs. Hall said: “The experience I hav 0 been through in the last two years seems like a miracle. I was so badly off that life seemed almost unendur able, and my deafness increased so that I could scarcely hear anything. The suffocation in rav chest and the indigestion caused by my catarrh, produced very severe suffering. I had five different physicians, bought ev- everything that anybody recommended to me, but finally gave up in despair. “One day my milliner asked me if I had ever tried Hyomei. I began the treatment, and can thankfully testify that Hyomei does cure this terrible disease. Since using it my hearing is greatly improved, and the only time I have any catarrhal trouble is when I take coid. I tKn use Hyomei. and always get instant relief. My friends and acquaintances marvel at the change in my 1: a’tb and hearing.” Hyomei has made many cures of catarrh, and in connection with Hyo mei balm, of catarrhal deafness, in Gaffney. Similar experiences to that of Mrs. Hall’s have created a large sale for Hyomei with Gaffney Drug Co. The complete outfit, including the inhaler, costs but $1, while extra bottles are but 50 cents.
