Hippeningt All Over the State Taken frori Cur Exchanges anti Tersely Told to Ledger Readers. The five large cotton mills r" ol. T. C. Duncan, of Union, is inch Col. T. C. ftuncan, of Union, is presi dent, and which on March 16th inau gurated the ten-hour system, have gone hack to the old eleven-hour sys tem .under which all the other cotton mills in the State have been operating. There is a movement at Trenton looking to the establishment of a bank. This is much needed in that community, and it may reasonably be expected that, good results will follow this effort. Some of Trenton’s best business m m have taken bold of the movement. Monday morning at 12:30 o’clock the home of Mrs. C.".J. Asheley, in Buncombe, was discovered on lire, and before sufficient help reached the house the fire was beyond control and it was totally destroyed. Most of the furniture was saved. Mr. J. L. Mimsi was the owner of the property and it was partially insured. Mrs. Asheley had some insurance on her effects. H. B. Howie, the detective who was employed to work up the evi dence in the Kershaw lynching case, was in Columbia Tuesday. He de clined to talk of the case, further than to say that he had been employed to get up the evidence, and for no other purpose, and he has secured some ev idence which he thinks very strong. As to what will he done henceforth in the case he does not know. Comptroller General Jones has called a meeting of the State board of assessors for about May l<!th, and the notices will be sent out in a day or so. The State board will assess all taxable companies, cotton seed mills, water power companies and other concerns of this kind. The board last year in the assessment of cotton mill concerns decided to assess them on the market value of their stock, tak ing CO per cent, of this for the pay ment thereon. Tiie suit of the State of South Caro lina against Mcillwane, Unkefer & Co., for $200,000 for alleged fraud in the construction of the State capitol, has been continued. The motion was made on the grounds of sickness of Mr. Unkefer in Atlanta, and according ly the continuance was granted. Un til the case is tried there will be no work on the State house roof, as it will be used in evidence by both sides and it was deemed best not to change it or make any alterations. Gus Wallace, colored, of Spartan burg, accidentally shot and killed himself Sunday night, while returning home from a negro church near Fair Forest, carrying a double-barreled shot gun. At the time the gun was discharged he had alighted from the buggy and was quarreling with some negroes on the roadside. As he at tempted to regain his seat Jn the ve hicle the gun was discharged and the entJire load of one barrel entered his left side, penetrating to the heart. Arthur Hooks and J. D. Hooks, aged 11 and 8 years, were drowned about a mile from Cheraw Monday after noon. They, in company witfi other boys, went to a small pond across the river and went in bathing. The young er hoy got over bis depth and his brother, noticing it, went in to cpscue him and both were drowned. They were the sons of J. W. Hooks, night watchman at the chair factory. Their bodies were carried to Wadesboro for interment, where their mother is buried. Soon after court convened Monday morning Solicitor Hildebrand, of Or angeburg, handed the papers in the Eutawville lynching ease to the grand jury, who found a true bill without delay against J.*H. Palmer, S. A. Eadon, Andrew Martin, Benjamin Martin and Henry C. Edwards. All of these men are white and with the exception of Edwards are now in the Berkley county Jail. Edwards turned State’s evidence when arrested last fall and for this reason has been con fined to the penitentiary, so as not to be influenced by the others, the Berk ley jail being too small to keep them apart. The convention of the Southern Newspaper Publishers’ Association convened Tuesday morning at the Charleston hotel, with a good and representative attendance of newspa per men of the South. President H. H. Cabiness called the meeting to or der, when Maj. J. C. Hemphill, of The News and Courier, introduced Mayor Rhett, who made the address of wel come. Mayor Rhett reviewed the trade conditions of the city In address ing the visitors, telling them of what Charleston has done and is doing, in spite of certain adverse conditions. He was cordial in ills welcome and at its conclusion President Cabiness thanked the mayor for the heartiness of his greeting and also spoke kindly of Charleston and the pleasure which It gave the newspaper men to visit that city.

' A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OP LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest. Wilkinsville, May 2.—Mrs. Mary E. Hill, who has been visiting in this State for some time, returned to her > - home at Aurora, Ala., week before last. She went from Spartanburg to Attolla, Ala., in twelve hours, inejud- ing all stopping. This speaks well for the service the Southern Railway gives the public, even If they do have wrecks occasionally. Mrs. “J. L. S.” has been right un well, but she is now much improved. Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Estes and Miss Mattie .spent the day at Mr. J. H. Fowler’s last Friday. We are having fine seasons for farm work. Cotton planting is well advanced, and will be finished gener ally this week. A good deal of corn—especially on the low lands—is yet to plant. In speaking-of Miss Clara Flem ming’s school entertainment in Fri day’s issue, the types made us say the Wilkinsville insterd of the Wilk- ersor school. The tertainmenc hasn’t y- t been made public. Owing to the ill health ’ of Mrs. “J. 1 . S.” your correspondent could not, meet his Sunday school class at Salem last Sabbath. The disappoint ment is fully appreciated by the teach er, who always feels it his duty to be on hand. Ml W. < .

From such information as I have I would say that these two rivers are capable of development as much as 2,000,000 horse power. Much of this has al ready been developed; hut‘more than half of it remains untouched, and the completion of the proposed survey will greatly facilitate its further de velopment.’ ” This undertaking will doubtless he the beginning of an era that is des tined to make the Piedmont one of the most attractive and desirable sec tions of the Union. That when its soil, climate, minerals and waterpower are listed by competent judges, they wll! come up to our highest expecta tions we have no doubt. On Wednesday evening, May 10th, Miss Bonnie McCluney’s school en tertainment will come off at the school house, to which the public and friends of education are cordially Invited. An elaborate programme has been map ped out for the occasion. The exer cises will begin about 7:30 o’clock P. M. We bespeak for this occasion a large, attentive and well behaved audience.

Breathe Hyomei and Cure Catarrh. The changeable weather of Spring, with its warm days and cold nights, is responsible for a great increase m the number of cases of catarrh. R is now that Hyomei, the only guaranteed treatment for catarrh that cures without stomach dosing, should be used in every home. For more than a century physi cians have been sending persons suf fering from catarrh to Egypt, Colo- tauo, or Australia, where the pure healing air would cure the disease. For one person who could take this trip, thousands have been compelled to stay at home and continue their daily toll. To these sufferers who could not change their climatic con ditions we offer Hyomei, a method by which pure air Impregnated with Nature s own remedies for the cure of catarrh, can bo Inhaled by every sufferer in his or her home. Breathed through the neat pocket Inhaler that comes with every outfit, its healing, volatile, antiseptic fragrance reaches the lungs and air passages as no stom ach dosing possibly can do. It gives immediate relief and makes lasting cures . T he complete outfit, consisting of the inhaler, medicine dropper, and bottle of Hyomei, costs only one dol lar. and extra bottles of Hyomei, if needed, can be procured for fifty cents. Proof that the Hyomei treatment will do all that Is claimed for it Is found in the guarantee under which Gaffney Drug Co. sells it, an agree ment to pay hack the price, if the pur chaser can say that* Hyomei has not given satisfaction. A Creeping Death. Blood poison creep* u p towards the heart, causing death. J. E. Stearns, Belle Plalne, Minn., writes that n friend dreadfully injured his hand, which swelled up like blood poisoning. Bucklen’s Arnica Salvo drew out the poison, healed the wound, and saved his life. Best In the world for burns and sores. 25c at Cherokee Drug Co. Items of Interest Concerning Ou> Neighbors in the Old North State Culled Expressly for Ledger Readers A charter has been issued for the Moflit Machinery Manufacturing Com pany, of Charlotte, capital $100,000. J. H. McAden and 7.. V. Kendrick, principal incorporators. The Southern Railway depot at Clemmons, on the North Carolina Midland, was broken into Sunday night. The records of the railroad and express company for three years were destroyed. Nothing else, so far as known, was molested. Under decree of the Federal court, the Carolina Trust Company, of Ra leigh, receiver, sold at auction Mon day the steamer City of Fayetteville, and all the property of the Fayette ville & Wilmington Steamboat Co., for about $12,000, only a small por tion of its value. The property was bonded for $125,000. The purchasers were Northern capitalists. Another streak of hard luck hit the Southern Saturday when the Ogden special was wrecked at Greenville, hut the “hoo-doo” that affected that bit of misfortune was not content until two other mishaps had occurred, re sulting in the partial wreck of through •freight No. 74, near Old Fort Sunday night, and a short time afterwards a slide at Mud Cut. Mr. Jim Black, of Bessamer, while eating cabbage for dinner Saturday got something in his hroat that caused him so much pain that he sent for a doctor. The trouble, however, could not be located, so it was decided to take" him to Charlotte for examination by the x-ray. Accompanied by Dr. D. A. Garrison, they went to Charlotte to St. Peter's Hospital. A little piece of hone that came out of the moat cooked with the cabbage was removed. IJis throat was so'swollen that ho felt it necessary to stay in the hospital for a while. There was a wreck at Sharon, a lit tle station on the Atlantic Coast Line, near Cortentnea, Tuesday afternoon at about 1:40 o’clock. Passenger train No. 47 ran into a freight, train, but no one was hurt except Engineer L. D. Bullock, of the passenger train, who got hurt in jumping after revers ing his engine. The wreckage was cleared off the track by the wrecking train from Rocky Mount, but traffic was tied up for about three hours. The freight engine rolled down the em bankment, which was about ten feet high. Calvin Cowan, colored, is in jail at Salisbury on a charge of murder. A coroner’s jury Tuesday decided unan imously that he killed John Watson, another colored man, Saturday night, and the defendant is held without bail. Saturday night Sheriff Julian was notified that Watson had been killed by a train near the Brown Furniture Factory. There was no thought of foul play, and it was during the prep aration for burial that a coroner’s in quest was suggested. After examin ing four witnesses, Cowan among them, it was unanimously agreed that Cowan was the murderer of the dead man. The accused fellow was then landed in jail for next week’s court. Mr. Millard Giles, a young man of Newton, was found in a dying condi tion beside the railroad track at a point just south of the depot at Con over, about 6:30 Tuesday morning. He died a few minutes afterward without regaining consciousness. The cause of his death Is unknown, though it is presumed that he was struck by a train some time during the night. His body was lying wkhin a foot of the track and his head was badly injured. Over both eyes were severe bruises, and big gashes were cut across the top of his head. He was last seen about dark coming through Conover with his brother-in-law, Mr. Jule Goforth. Both men were intoxi cated. Goforth’s statement is that he left Giles near the spot where he was killed, and saw nothing more of him. The coroner’s jury gave as their ver dict that the deceased had come to his death by a blow struck by a mov ing train or some unknown object. Spartanburg Soon to Vote on the Dis pensary Question. Spartanburg, May 3.—-The dispen sary election is warming up some and it Is confidently expected that much interest will be manifested by the ad vocates pro and con. The anti-sup porters are leaving no stones turned to blot out the curse of strong drink. In conversation with Mr. J. H. Car lisle, Jr., who has in charge the va rious petitions calling for an election, he assured us that the required amount of signors is already in sight. He exhibited to us a petition with 1,786 names, and fifty-three petitions are in circulation, three of which con tain 250 names, making a total of 2,035 signers, with fifty more petitions to hear from, which he thinks will average twenty-five each, or 1,250, making a grand total of 3,285 signers. .Mr. Carlisle is a gentleman of very modest and conservative views, and had rather quote things at or below than to prevaricate. He thinks the voting population can safely be placed at 7,000. So you see we will have enough to call an election and 1,535 names to spare. We cannot fortell the result of the election, but the advocates of the dispensary feel con fident they will have to put in some mighty good work or they will lose this “great -moral institution.” Mrs. W. C. Allen is spending this week with her father, Capt. Rufus Roberts, of Shelby, N. C., who is quite feeble, owing to old age. Drs. S. M. and W. K. Gunter, of Gaffney, spent Sunday pleasantly with friends here. Miss Clauda Johnson, of White Stone, spent Sunday with Misses Mat- tie and Belva Allen, on North Liberty street. Every train coming into Spartan burg is crowded with passengers who have come to attend the South Atlan tic States Music Festival. From a financial standpoint, and from the ar tists who have been engaged, we may look for one of the best musical festi vals since its organization. Some interest is being taken in the mayor’s election, which comes off on June 20th. Four candidates have an nounced themselves for the honor, viz: O. L. Johnson, J. B. Lee, J. F. Floyd, and B. F. Shockley. They are all good men. any one of whom would make a capital mayor. \ W. C. A. Report of Sunday School Union.

Letter to J. C. Otts. Gaffney, S. C. Dear Sir: Two and two make four —not always; depends upon what “two and two” are. Two gallons of water and two gal lons of milk don’t make four gallons of milk. Neither does four gallons of paint that’s half lime, whiting, clay and kerosene oil, make four gallons of real paint. 1 hat’s what we mean by saying “Fewer gallons; wears longer.” It takes fewer gallons of Devoe lead- and-zinc than of mixed paints to paint a house, and It wears twice or three times as long as lead-and-oll mixed by hand. Mr. Chas Avery, of Herkimer, N Y, bought 51 gallons of Devoe load- and- zino to pairit his five houses, his paint er having figured that it would re quire at least that amount; 30 gal lons did the work and ho returned 15 gallons.
