Happenings All Over the State Taken from Our Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Readers. W. J. Harley, who shot the negro at Harleyville on Monday, has not been arrested and bis whereabouts are not konwn. The negro, so far as known, still lives. Hampton Zeigler, of Hamberg, who was shot Saturday night by Marion Black, died Monday morning. At the post mortem it was found that the bullet had pierced the- intestines in three places. No motive for the kill ing developed at the inquest. Both men were drinking at the time of the shooting. Zeigler’s dying statement was that there had been no quarrel and he did not know why Black had shot him. Application for hail is to be made this week, provided some body will go on his bond. The people of Kershaw community were aroused by another alarm of Are at the cotton platform Thursday after noon about 4 o’clock. About 30 bales of cotton cm the platform near the cottm warehouse where the fire oc curred sor.e days ago were consider ably damaged. Owing to the prompt ness and thoroughness of the fire de partment, the fire was prevented from being communicated to the warehouse and to other cotton cm- the platfohn. The fire Ifj thought to have originated from the southbound freight train, which had just passed. A very sad accident happened at Bamberg Monday afternoon when Sammie, the little 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. N. Z. Felder, was killed while playing ball. The little fellow bad started to run with a stick, which he was using for a bat, in his hand. Tie stumbled and fell and the stick stood upright, catching him under the throat. His neck was discolated just at the junction of the head with the spine, with accompanying concussion of the brain. Physicians worked wuth him faithfully to save his life, hut nothing could he done to save his life and death took place about four hours after the accident, he never regaining consciousness. The burial took place at the Zeigler burying ground about two miles below Bamberg. For the second time within a year Johnston has suffered heavily by fire. Eire* which started there shortly after 3 o’clock Friday morning destroyed property in the heart of the business section valued at about $13,000, upon which there is $3,000 insurance. Two splendid brick stores and four wood en buildings were* completely wiped out. The principal losers arc* L. B. Asbell & (to., drugs, and groceries, loss $10,000, insurance $1,000; D. T. Out/., four buildings, loss $3,500, insui- ance $2,000. The goods in Dr. Mob ley’s drug store and those of Edwards’ bicycle store were moved out in time to escape the flames. Almost every merchant in town sustained some damage by the* removal of goods. But for a fortunate* southerly wind the entire* town would have been swept by fire. E. S. Crosby ,of St. Louis, with the* Boer war show, was arrested in Florence Thursday on a warrant sworn out by L. F. Kennedy, a citizen of Sumter. Mr. Kennedy says ho handed him a $5 hill there to purchase* a ticket. The* artist by a quick ma nipulation handed him $1. with the statement that he could not make change. Mr. Ke*nne*dy rc*memstrated hut to no avail .and tit) officer was present. .He* could not locate the man after the show. He followed him to Florence, blentifie*d him and ha<l him arrested. The fellow stated that it was a mistake lie* made*, as someone else handed him a $1 hill at the* same time, and in the* hurry and confusion lie* made the* mistake. He refuneleel Mr. Kennedy the amount and paid his expenses, and was wl.ling to pay more* to escape a trial. Letter to B. Scruggs. Ezells, S.

H.,” the Antioch pencil push er review h>is statement which ap peared in this paper a few days ago. While we admit from the way the cot ton wagons are rumbling to town, as ocular evidence, and from the publish ed port receipts, cotton is not being generally and rigidly held by the farmers as in accordance with the organized plan of the Southern Cotton Association. C. H. intimates that wo are too greedy for our own good. Now in accordance with his own state ment, the farmers of his section are overwhelmingly breaking the record increasing the cotton acreage this spring. While we admit again that the tag sales point out that an unusually heavy purchase of fertil izers is being made, however, judg ing from our own actual seeing and enquiring, we predict that this fertil izer will be used for general crop diversification. We believe that the cotton acreage in Cherokee county is being reduced 20 per cent. However, taking the cotton belt as a whole, the same percentage of reduction will probably be obtained. If we are wrong, we ask C. H. to give us statistical evidence. We therefore must rise or fall together and no single class can expect to suc ceed that undertakes to monoplize the interests of the others. We stand for the supremacy of the South agricul turally, commercially and financially. Farmers, reduce your acreage. 1 he.Sunday school at this place has • eon reorganized with Mr. E. J. Clary as superintendent, and Mr. R. S. Por ter, Mrs. C. A. Spencer, Misses Eliza Kirby and Eula Carter as his corps of teachers. Large classes are present on every Sunday. We wish them con tinued success. Mr. Z. J. Petty has had his dwelling house remodeled which greatly im proves its appearance. Mr. Fred A. Garvin, carrier on R. F. I). No. (1, spent last Saturday night with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. P. C. Garvin. Mr. W. S. Sparks has purchased a portion of the Petty and Phillips land, and we understand that he anticipates remodeling his machinery and will put in a suction ginnery before next sea son. Miss Maudie Kirby and Misses Ethel and Marie Clary are spending a few days with relatives near Etta Jane. k. A Pair of Fine Mules Killed. No. 39, southbound passenger train on the Southern Railway, ran ove. and killed a pair of very fine mules belonging to Morgan & Austin, of Greenville Friday at the crossing be tween the American Spinning compa ny plant and the Poe Mills, in that city. Peter Sloan, the driver, had de livered a load of lumber at the Amer ican Spinning company’s plant an>l bad started back to the city. He said the mills on either side of the cross ing made so much noise that he did not hear the approaching train and that the train did not blow for the crossing and that he did not see th- train. Just as the mules were on the track they were struck by the train which was running about 40 miles an hour. One of the mules was knocked off the track and instantly killed. The other- mule was picked up by the pilot and carried two hundred feet before it was thrown from the engine. The driver’s escape is miraculous. The mules were valued at ?l- r )0 and highly prized by their owners. The wagon was a total wreck. A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE, PROHIBITION ANO NO DISPENSARY MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OP LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Itema of General Interest. ARE SYNONOMOUS TERMS CHEROKEE COUNTY. IN I. Wilkinsville, April 21.—Frost in the early part of the week did consider able damage to garden plants and fruit. In some places it did more dam age than in others. The shooting scrape mentioned in our last letter came up before Magis trate J. R. Poole last Tuesday and he sent the case up to the court of gen eral sessions for trial. At about midnight last Tuesday your correspondent was called up out of bed by a runaway couple who wanted to get married. But in the ab sence of witnesses to prove the girl’s age or the consent of her parents, they were informed that the marriage could not come off and they struck out. to some one else. It’s no use to come here on that business unless every thing is right. We don’t propose to he a party to an illegal or unfortu nate marriage if we kn< w It.. The chain gang ha finished the work in this section and gone to the Asbury neighborhood to work. Corn and cotton seed are bein planted as fast as fa • ners get their lands ready for it . Just now it is difficult to tell what the reduction in acre; ge will amount, to in this neighborhc d. it will he less than last year we think. Though some will plant as much as ever. The .Mean’s g-ass was killed last Tuesday morning by the frost. Last Sabbath afternoon Mr. J. J. Robin on, of Yorkville, and several others, saw a bald eagle Hying along | South leisurely just above the 'ops of the trees. It went from this side of the river and was going in an easterly di rection. We don’t want Hamp more to think that he had his rations with him for he will find plenty of them in York county. He was not like the ill-fated crow, which is re ported to have passed over this sec tion several years ago. He took a different direction aud v e trust will come out better than the crow did. Supervisor Wm. Phillips came down last Tuesday and brought two recruits to the chaingang. For the last few days we have had dry weather and the ground is get 1 ting hard again. We understand that our friend and neighbor, Jeff Blackwell, has cotton up. Too soon, Jeff. Ix).*k out for a cold snap next full moon. Today is Good Friday, and garden ers will dt most of their planting. Jim Smith, who was melee last Sabbath, is Public Sentiment Decidedly Against Liquor in Any Form—Special Legis lation. Mr. Editor:—When we penned that article the other day in reference to the liquor business in Cherokee coun ty we had no idea it would be noticed or dignified to the extent of provoking a controversy. Such certainly was not our intention. The state of the public mind was all that we wished to recall—nothing more nor nothing less. But when “One of the Old Guard” says “halt” we must either retrace our steps or advance and give the countersign. The first we are not willing to do. and the second we are not afraid to do. In this we are somewhat lik the fellow who. during the late war wanted to pass a post on which an irishman fresh from ‘‘the ould conn- three” was on guard. The Irishman bringing his gun to the proper posi tion, rolled to him. ‘‘Halt, ye!” The fellow stopped and the Irishman said: •’Coo* , torrid an i gev the coonter ign. ’ The fellow said, “I don’t know hat it is.” The irGbmn” rcs.'Ld: “I tell ye, coom 1 rrid and g *\ m the eoontersign at once.” The fellow j repeated, "I don’t know what it Is”! The irishman then said: “Ef ye don’t say ‘Foort Soomter’ I’ll shoot ye." Now, we are called upon to say something and we don’t, know what il is. unless “One of the Old Guard” will tell us. fo the average man or woman in Cherokee county, or elsewhere in Carolina, prohibition and no dispensary are synonymous terms so far as the people are concerned. But when reviewed from a legal or legis- Prid- lative standpoint they are very differ ent. The first is an absolute wiping out of the liquor business, in tofo: while the second only refers to the snle of liquor through or by the dis- | pensary. The distillery provided for 'by the dispensary law Is part and par ! ! cel of the latter, in spirit they are) |one, while in letter they are different, j , We are confident “One of the Old Guard” will agree with us in this con clusion. against his will to get out of his house and off his premises, the fellow replied, “I can do so, Mr. Holland, if you say so.” “Well, I say so, and I mean for you to stay off, too, when you get off,” replied the old man. That's the kind of orders the people gave the liquor business when they expressed themselves at the polls last fall in voting for "no dispensary.” Now. we do not censure our repre sentatives for failing to do what we expected. They perhaps did all they could; but we failed to see in the daily papers any attempt off their part to bring the matter in which we* feel an interest to an issue. There may be certain constitutional environments which prevented them from asking for “special legislation” for Cherokee county or any other county. The legislature is not made up of constitutional fawyers. There have, no doubt, been good laws en acted which did good service for years and years and at last when their contitutionality was tested by the supreme court they were set ashb*. This will no doubt be the case again. Common sense is good law. anywhere, and in any case. Law is the perfec- tion of human reason; if it is not its poor law. W»* did assert and now reassert that "The majority of the people are vril ling to do their duty if they only know it. But they don’t propose to I >>'* made a laughing stock for the rest I of the world.” .'Orr, brother, in tee fi,st place, they have done their duty !y voting out j the dispense y by ..n overwhelming joriiy.
