TMSHOUT THE PALMETTO STATE *TEMS OF INTEREST OF PASSING EVENTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Happenings All Over the State Taken tvom Cur Exchanges and Tersely Told to Ledger Readers. A commission for a charter has been issued to the Willow Bank Boat, Oar and Hardware Manufacturing Com pany, of Georgetown. The officers named are H. Kaminski, president; Jos. Cchcr.ck, vice-president; and F. G. Tarbox, secretary and treasurer and general manager. The warehouse of Mr. .1, L. McGill, the well-known merchant of Bethany, York county, was burned Wednesday eve as the result of a Hash of light ning, and all told Mr. McGill is the loser to the amount of nearly $d,000. The fire occurred between 5 and 0 o’clock. A terrific rain, hail, wind and electric storm was in progress. The jury in the Eutawville lynching case acquitted the defendants after sixteen minutes deliberation. The case went to the jury at 5:30 o’clock. The defendants were; Ben Martin, Penny Martin, Andrew Martin, She- rard A. Edens and John 11. Palmer. While there was scarcely a chance of conviction of murder, the defendants got a gord scare, spent much money in their defense, and it is thought the effect will be wholesome. Two persons lost tneir lives from lighting strokes in Marlboro county late Thursday afternoon. The first wa t Charles Sawyer, a young citizen of Brownsville, the other a negro child in Hebron, fifteen miles distant. Mr. Sawyer was plowing in his field, and he and his mule were both killed. La: tr in the afternoon the house of Joe Watkins, colored, was struck and his child killed. Watkins and another child were severely shocked and burned. Bub Watson, Colored, of Anderson, aged a’.out 30 .died Thursdaw as the result of ytHinds received on May 3. Watson at ;i another negro were “tuss ling” over a knife and a pistol, to show which could do the quickest and most damage in the event of a fight, and the pistol was discharged, the ball entering Watson’s stomach, tra versing the liver and lodging in the back. The inquest today does not charge crime against the other negro. It was an accident. A petition containing about one thousand names was handed to the county supervisor of Union asking that an election be called so that the voters of Union county could vote on the dispensary question. The county spervisor and county commissioners after eight days of hard work com paring the names of those on the peti tion with the registration list, found that the petition did not have the names of one-fourth of the qualified voters of the county as required by law before the supervisor could call the election. So the petition had to be refused. A very peculiar and serious acci dent occurred at W. B. Rast’s factory at Swansea Monday evening. Ennis, the 14-year-old son of Richard Cartin, was boring with an auger that was turned by machinery. To steady the short board he was pressing his body against it. The board was a thin one, and the auger went into his gi’oin on the right side five or six inches. He pulled the auger out himself by press ing his body from the machine and in coming out it brought the groves full of flesh. The boy had only a few minutes before been told to keep away from the machine. His condition is critical. It is announced that the Aetna Cot- tin Mill, in Union, will enlarge its building by making an addition to the western end of the mill of a building 200 feet long by 100 feet deep, and that it will increase its equipment to 300,000 spindles and 750 looms. This will a little more than double the size of the present mill, which has been in operation since 1902. Wm. H. Sartor, the mill’s president, said 'that this will necessitate having 200 more oper atives, which, with their families, will add at least 500 more to the popula tion of Union. To accommodate these at least 40 new cottages will be built, which will make 100 nice cottages owned by this mill. To make these improvements it will be necessary to increase the capital stock of the com pany, and it is probable that it will be made a half million dollar concern. Charged with cruelty to animals, C. J. Younger was tried before Magis trate Kirby in Spartanburg Thursday morning. The case was brought by W. H. Keller, who alleged that Young er seized a valuable bull terrier be longing to the deponent and cut off the ears anA the tail of the dog; and also allowed him to engage in fight with another dog. The case was heard before a Jury. The defense set up the plea that the defendant pur chased the dog from a negro boy, un known to the defendant; that the dog engaged in a fight with another dog and was so badly cut up about the head and tail that it became neces sary to cut off the ears and tail of the dog. The defendant claimed that it was an act of mercy to cut off the ears and tail of the dog in question and not a cruel one. The Jury, after hearing the case, returned a verdict of not guilty. Late Wednesday afternon as the passenger train on the Lockhart rail road was rounding a sharp curve about one and a half miles from Lock hart, going at a moderate rate of speed, the tracks spread and the en gine and tender were completely over turned. The terrible shock of the ac cident was over in a short time and those who were uninjured went to work to rescue the injured. Their search soon showed that the casual ties were: Killed—B. T. Holliman, fireman, of Georgia, who died instant ly; Richard H. Wilburn, aged 18, who was caught under the engine and scalded so terribly that he died with in an hour. Injured—Edward Mc- Chesney, engineer, hurt internally, may die. A rather remarkable part of the accident was that the coaches and baggage car. though light, re mained on the track and none of the passengers was injured beyond a few bruises. Every attention was given the injured by the people of Lockhart as soon as they learned of the catas trophe. • BLACKSBURG LOCALS. Movements of the People Beyond the Broad. Blacksburg, May 15.—Mr. A.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular Paopla and Short Itema of General Interest. Wilkinsville, May 12.—Owing to the storm on Wednesday night the entertainment at Miss Bonnie Mc- Cluney’s school was postponed until last night, and it was quite a success. The children acquitted themselves very creditably and a large audience was present to witness the proceed ings. We did hope to be able to give the program of the proceedings but have failed to procure a copy of the same in time to be sent with this letter. We have just returned from a trip through the country via. Hickory Grove to Yorkville, where we spent a good part of the day yesterday. Farmers along the line of travel have a fine prospect for a crop this year, though the rains have thrown them back in their plowing and thinning out proceedings. The lands in many places have been washed and overflowed along the creeks. The Wilkerson school is making preparation for their annual entertain ment, which comes off on the 19th and 20th iastant. Miss Clara Flem ming is the teacher. This school has long since gained reputation for its thorough work. We don’t know of a country school that lias such a well organized corps of employees who are always ready and willing to come to the assistance of their teacher, and are so ready to help and encourage her in her work—something that every school teacher doesn’t have; but on the contrary has to contend with all the elements of discouragement and perplexities which usually arise from want of a cooperation spirit from the heads of the families interested. The Wilkerson school house has lately been remodelled, enlarged and fitted up with the latest improvements in the way of desks and rooms for the classification of its scholars. It has been considerably improved in this respect and a coat of paint is | now being applie d by Mr. Will West moreland, who is an expert with a painter’s brush. We spent last night with Esquire R. L. A. Smith, of Hickory Grove, where we were royally entertained by him and his most excellent wife and family. Mr. Smith is the magistrate for Broad river township, and is one of the State’s most efficient and wor thy officers. Mr. Chas. A. Craig ,of Jonesville, is delivering pictures in this neighbor hood which he took ten days or two weeks ago. Mr. “Tosh” Foster has finished his sawing in this neighborhood and will not likely saw any more until after crops are laid by. We regret to learn that a few cases of pneumonia have developed in this section within the last few days. For tunately none of them is severe yet, that we know of. Farmers have got very little done in the way of farm work this week. The ground has been too wet to hoe or plow. We are getting plenty of vegetables now out of gardens. • Some of our neighbors are getting plenty of mlik, too, and have cows to sell. The oat crop is doing finelv since the rains set in. Wheat is not doing so well; there is too much rain for it. While in Yorkville yesterday' we had the pleasure of meeting the editor of the Yorkville Enquirer, Mr. W. Dave Grist, who is a splendid fellow as well as an editor. If the wet weather continues a few days longer there will be no question about reducing the cotton acreage. Hands are scarce and it will be impos sible for farmers to work it out in time for it to make a full crop. Lots of corn has been planted by the farmers of this section this year, more than any year lately. Rev. W. D. Hammett will preach at Abingdon Creek church on the third Sunday of this month. Our York county neighbors will have the Rock Hill District M. E. Confer ence to meet with them at Mount Ver non church in July next. The sacramental meeting at the A. R. P. church will come off at Hickory Grove the fourth Sabbath of this month. Rev. John A. White, of Black- stocks, will assist Rev. Mr. Oats in the meeting, which will begin on Fri day before. Dr. Chess Leech, of Hickory Grove, was in this section today on profes sional business. While in Yorkville we called on our genial friend and countryman, Mr. O. Ed Wilkins, who is president of one of the banks in that beautiful city. Ed is always glad to meet his Chero kee county friends and neighbors and find out how we are getting along over here. He is doing a good business and has the confidence of his patrons. Hon. D. E. Finley, M. C., Is looking forward hopefully to some develop ments in this congressional district that will materially add to our pros perity. He Is very careful about giv ing out anything that he hasn’t the utmost, confidence in as likely to be carried out by the U. S. government. Besides looking after the affairs of his congressional district he manages his fafm on the most successful busi ness principles—making everything on It necessary for Its maintenance. He makes his corn, wheat, oats and other food find feed supplies. The string band furnished the mu sic for the school entertainment last night. Just as the crowd was breaking up | and leaving the school premises last night after a most enjoyable entertain ment, some low down cowardly scoun drel fired a pistol in the crowd, terri fying women and children who had gone there to witness the proceedings 1 and encourage the school work. It’s ; a shame on our civilization that such acts of lawlessness should go unpun ished. Until all such dastardly con duct is dealt with these marauders will be a source of annoyance to good people on all such occasions. J. L. S. ! THE TARHEEL STATE RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE IN NORTH CAROLINA. Items of Interest Concerning Ou> Neighbors in the Old North State Culled Expressly for Ledger Reader A BEAUTIFUL CITY. A Gaffney Man Writts of Things in Atlanta, Ga. Atlanta, Ga., May 13, 1905. Editor The Ledger:—As I have nothing else to do today I will write you a few lines about Atlanta. I arrived here on May 2nd. at 5 o’clock P. M., in company with my wife and boy and Dr. Crawley, and have been here ever since. Will prob ably be here until the first of June. Atlanta Is a beautiful city. They claim to have 120,000 people. They have ten fire companies, with one-hun dred and thirty firemen, and sixty as fine fire horses as you ever saw. They have had three or four small fires since I have been here, but they jump right down pn it and put it out before it has time to burn much. They have one very fine chemical engine. It would do the boys out there good to see those fine horses step down the road when they have a fire. After we had been here about three days, Boyce and Dr. Crawley (like little boys will do) boarded the elec tric car and I think they took in al most every point, of interest in the ( city before they came back to our boarding place. I like the way the merchants do business here. They have one price for their goods and can tell yr u in a second what any article is wo *th. If you like it you can get; if not they don’t dog after you to buy anything. You can get anything you want to buy here, from the cheapest to the highest priced goods. The finest Panama hats are only worth fifty dollars here, but I think I will hardly buy one on this trip. The sports down here can lure dress suits by the hour, so they do not have to buy one. You can spend as much money here as you want. But not quite as little as you want. There is a man down here making a fortune with a skating rink. Dr. Crawley went to Chattanooga while he was here. 1 met up with Mr. Ed Thomasson and his wife and boy. They live down here now. Mr. Thomasson is the trav eling freight agent for the Seaboard Air Line Railway. I also met Mr. A. B. Draw dpwn here. They have some fine buildings here. There is a new office building nineteen stories high. The elevators can take you to the top in a few seconds. Respectfully, J. J .Gaffney. P. S.—I forgot to tell you about a small diamond ring which I saw in a show window up street. It was only twelve hundred dollars. J. J. G. YOUNG MEN’S SUNDAY. Services Held in Gaffney Under Aus pices of the Y. M. C. A. Sunday was “Young Men’s Sunday” in Gaffney, religious services being held in the different churches under the auspices of the Interstate Commit tee of the Young Men’s Christian As sociation of the two Carolinas. In the morning services were held in three churches, at which addresses were made by prominent workers In the assocation. At the First Baptist church, H. E. Ravenel, Esq., of Spar tanburg; Buford Street Methodist, Mr G. C. Huntington, of Charlotte, N. C.; Limestone Street Methodist, Mr A C. Bridgman, of Columbia, all of the talks being on the worit being done by the Y. M. C. A, in its several diff erent departments. Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock a mass meeting of men only was held at the First Baptist church at which Mr. A. C. Bridgman made an address on the subject, “Giant Evils.” Union services were held In the ev ening at the Buford Street Methodist church and the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church, presided over by someone of (he Y. M. C. A men. All services were well attended; the addresses made were interesting and instructive, and did not fail to leave a good impression on the minds of those who heard them. .4 very severe electric storm passed over Shelby Thursday afternoon . Mr. R. L. Lyburn’s barn was struck by lightning and was burned to the ground before the alarm could be given. Nothing but the fact that the rv.in began pouring in torrents saved the houses in the neighborhood. The .Guilford Plaster Company, of Greensboro, has been chartered with $6,o0u capital, and $20,000 authorized, the stockholders being J. H. White and others. The company will deal in builders’ supplies. Another charter is to the Wales Lumber Company, Asheville, $10,000, E. A. Wales, prin cipal incorporator. In Wake Superior Court Thursday morning Sam Yarborough, who has been in jail in Raleigh without bail for killing of Chas. Faison, colored, some weeks ago, near Raleigh, was released on $200 bail, there being some doubt as to his guMt, even of manslaughter. The negro was killed with a baseball bat, in self-defence, it is claimed. Mr. A. W. Sisk, of Shelby, after eating a hearty dinner Wednesday attended the memorial exercises at the court house at 2 o’clock. Return ing home he concluded to take a nap. He went up stairs to his room where his wife, thinking he was sleeping longer than usual, found him dead. He had been in bad health for some time, but was never confined to his bed. He was 50 years old. His wife, who was Miss Ella Hoke before her marriage, and several children survive him. The Wallace Manufacturing Com pany, of Wallace, Duplin county, is chartered with $15,000 capital, to do a general lumber and sash, door and blind manufacturing business. J. F. Southerland is one of the principal incorporators. Another charter is to the Barnesville Ginning Company, of Lumberton, Robeson county, R. R. Barnes, principal incorporator, and Um capital $25,000 authorized, and $3,500 subscribed. The Burnsville Telephone Company is chartered, to establish an exchange in Burnsville, Yancey county, and long distance lines to neighbohing towns. J. s. Gibbs is one of the principal incor porators. The Gattis vs. Kilgo damage suit is not to be tried at this term of court after all, an order being made Thurs day morning that it be continued until such time as shall be agreed for Gov ernor Glenn to call a special term of court for its trial. The continuance was on affidavit by President Jno. C. Kilgo, of Trinity College, that W. R. Odell, of Concord, and Dr. Dred Pea- 'Cock, of High Point, important wit nesses for the defense could not be gotten to Raleigh for the trial at this time. A motion by the defense to con tinue some days ago on account of the death of Washington Duke at Dur ham was refused. Governor Glenn makes an order for a special term of Wake county Superior Court to con vene June 12th for the special pur pose of trying the suit. William Llndley, aged 40, an em ploye of the Revolution Cotton Mills in Greensboro, was found drowned in a creek 50 yards below the street car trestle late Thursday afternoon. He is supposed to have fallen through the trestle early Monday morning, his body being carried down stream by the heavy rains. He left his mother’s home at 3 o’clock Monday morning, saying he was going on a visit to a sister at Reidsvllle. His mind had been affected for some time. He was from Burlington and his father is in the State Hospital at Raleigh. He was highly educated, industrious and trustworthy. The features were al most unrecognizable, being perfectly black. A ten-dollar bill his mother gave him as he left was in his nocket and also an unopened letter addressed in a woman’s handwriting from Char lotte. NAN PATTERSON RELEASED. Means That She Will Not Likely Be Again Tried. - New York, May 12.—Nan Patterson was released from jail on her own recognizance this morning. ~ This means that she will probably never be brought to trial again for thq mur der of Ceasar Young. “The Country Kid.” The amusing comedy entitled “The Country Kid,” was presented at the opera house in Blacksburg last Friday evening by local talent. The perform ance was well attended and the par ticipants elicited the applause and ad miration of the large and enthusiastic audience in attendance. The proceeds were for the benefit of the graded school and quite a neat sum was re alized. The Ledger acknowledges Its ap preciation of complimentary tickets and regrets that it was impossible to be present. Mr. George Hearn, a well-known farmer living four miles from Char lotte, on the Lodo road, was struck by lightning Thursday afternoon about •; o’clock, and Instantly killed. His nephew, Neely Hearn, was struck by the same bolt, and at a late hour Thursday night was still unconscious. The two men were about 150 yards from t), >ir home picking cherries, when a t. under storm came up. It is not know) how the accident occur red, but it ’s supposed that the older man was up <n the tree, and the younger one v > the ground. The lad der used in Yilmbing the tree was badly splintered, and it Is thought that the dead man was standing on it. There was hut one loud report of thunder during the storm, and shortly after this was heard the men were found lying under the cherrv tree by Mr. Billy Wedlock, of Char lotte, who was spending the day at the home of the elder Mr. Hearn. Mr George Hearn was about 40 years of age, and one of the good substantial farmers of the Lodo neighborhood. W. A. LITTLE’S BODY FOUND. It Was Imbedded in the Sand—Sent to Charlotte For Burial. (Special to the Charlotte Observer.) Wilmington, May.. 11.—Partially im bedded In the sands of the seashore, his feet and ankles only protruding, the body of young W. A. Little, who wan drowned at Wrightsville Beach while surf bathing last Sunday after norm. was found early this morning by Mr. W. J. Moore, proprietor of the new hotel at Wrightsville. Mr. Moore got up early and had gone for a stroll along the beach about 5 o’clock. About 15 feet from the ebb and flood of water, the protruding feet of young Little attracted the hotel man’s atten tion. and he balled some negro fisher men about to put out of an inlet some distance away. They came with their boat and confirmed the suspicion that the body of the ‘young man was un der the sand. His head was downward under four feet of earth .and' it re quired more than an hour to get the body up. Funeral Director J. G. Wolving was summoned. The body was remarkably well preserved in the salt water.
