Their names are Lee Shives and B. L. Dal ton. Mr. .i. L. Kensey, of Spartanburg, who was passing through Florence Monday, was robbed of about $57 while resting in the waiting room at the Coast Line station. Mr. Kensey happened to drop to sleep while in the room and a negro boy by the name oi Sam Isham, who knew Mr. Kensey had the money, relieved him of his cash.

A charter was also issued to the Sea Island Truck Growers ’Association, with headquar ters at Beaufort. An attempt was made to burglarize the store of the mill company at Sax on Mills in Spartanburg Monday night by some daring, unknown adventurer. This is the second attempt to break into this store within the past several months. On a former occasion the manager of the company store, Mr. Wingo, was shot at by the thief. Mon day night in going his rounds, Night Watchman Cato observed a man standing on the steps of the front entranee to the store. The man was endeavoring to force open the door. The watchman called at him to halt- hut on realizing the fact that he had been discovered, the stranger took to his heels, and ran down the road. The watchman pulled out his pistol and fired at the rapidly retreating figure, hut did not strike him. Sev eral shots were fired, without effect. There is no clue as to who the ad venturesome prowler Is. Secretary W. B. Smith’s residence in Brandon village, Greenville, was damaged by lightning Monday night at 9 o'clock, and Mrs. Smith had a narrow escape from death. During the electrical storm which overspread the city at that hour, the telephone line leading into the residence was struck by lightning near the corner of the building, and the current pass ed over the wires and into the two front rooms and hall, tearing the moulding and plastering from the walls. Mrs. Smith was sitting in a rocking-chair near the middle of the room, and she was almost covered with the flying splinters and plaster ing, but was not seriously Injured, al though she sustained a severe shock, and her escape Is regarded as mirac ulous. The baby, lying in its cradle near where Mrs. Smith was sitting, was not awakened. It was surround ed by feather pillows, which fact. It la thought, protected It from the current. Saved by Dynamite. Sometimes, a flaming city is saved by dynamiting a space that the fire can’t cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on so long, you feel as If noth ing h»it dynamite would cure It. Z. T. Gray, of Calhoun, Ga., writes: “My wife had a very aggravated cough, which kept her awake nights. Two physicians could not help her; so she took Dr. King's New- Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, which eased her cough, gave her Bleep, and finally cured her.” Strictly scientific euro for bronchitis and La Grippe.

Parks, an aged and highly respected citizen of this community, died on Sunday morning last, after a long and linger ing illness from some disease we know not what. The death of “Uncle Billy” is much regretted by all who knew him. He was a true man, true to his fellowiran. true to his countrv. and true to his God. His life was a model worthy of imitation.

The grass has got us now, and “When will we ever get to work?” is the cry of every one at the present time. But, , doubtless, before a great while the l cry will be raised. “When is it going to rain?” or “Is it never going to rain any more? "My cron is just burning up. I won’t make enough to feed a turkey gobbler." It Is true enough it looks, after the continued rains of a week’s time, that the grass is getting a strong hold: but if neither wet weather nor drought will do for mak ing a crop, will some weather prophet or wise-acre please tell us what kind of season is best? The barn of Mrs. Willis, a widowed lady r, ear Clifton depot, was burned about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. A row and calf, with various other ar ticles. were burned.

We are also in formed that nn Saturday night last, a hail storm passed over Cherokee Springs, that demolished the wheat, cotton and fruit, and that the hail stones were so large that they broke the lights out of the windows and split the weatherhoarding on some of the houses, and knocked the chickens off the roosts.

A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Rains at Ravenna. Ravenna, May lf>.—Our section was visited by one of the hardest rains of the season Saturday night. Land was washed considerably, and some hail fell around here, hut not enough to do any damage. Farmers are having trouble about finishing their planting, owing to the continued wet weather, and some fields that were planted early have been taken with crul) grass.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest Wilkinsvllle, May 16.—The wet weather is putting farmers badly be hind with their work. Between show ers they put in good time and will continue to do so as long as there is hope of saving their crops. In some places—especially on sandy land—cotton is reported dying' out. Much of the cotton has been “chopped out” without the usual “running around” it gets, where the ground is in season to plow. The wet weather lias had a disheartening effect, and in some instances farmers speak of plowing up their cotton and planting the land in corn, as it will he impossi ble to clean the grass out in time for the cotton to make a crop, and, besides, it will cost, more than it’s worth to work it. out. Some of those who wouldn’t go Into the “acreagd re duction” pledge, hut thought they would plant all the cotton the could work, are now swamped in the grass. There will be no doubt about the re duction of acreage now, though it will be hard for some to yield to it. Last night the rain came and set out the gras anew. Lands have been terribly washed in many places by the rains of Saturday night, in which some hail fell without doing much damage. Gardens are in about the same fix that the fields are. Hoe hands are scarce and farm la bor too high for farmers to invest much money in it. There is so much complaint and growling among the people about crops and crop prospects that it’s un pleasant to bo in a crowd that have nothing else to talk about. An elder brother used to say there were two tilings a person should never do— complain of things he could help «>• complain of Gongs he couldn’t help. If you could help it never allow it to take place, and if you rouldn t, accept it as a matter beyond your control and for which you are in nowise re sponsible. For people to adjust them selves to such a frame of mind is the rub. York county wagons are hauling cot ton seed to the Wilkinsvllle oil mill. If we look at tilings in their proper ! light and far reaching consequences I we have much more to concern us than a partial failure of crops apd low prices for the same. When the State authorities practi cally acknowledge their inability to execute the law and protect the rights and lives of citizens from mob vio lence, there is serious cause to ap prehend trouble, if not a final over throw of our boasted civilization and ability to govern ourselves. It places our State very low in the category of State soverignties. Solicitor Henry’s report of the Lancaster lynching is a bombshell in the cam]). Mr. Henry is ! not the man to he alarmed by a trl- i vial nightmare and his remarks along j this line are worthy of consideration. I That, the growing tendenev toward 1 mob violence has been on the increase I for some time no one can reasonably ! doubt or fail to foresee, and warn ings coming from such a fearless and faithftrt official are all the more io be considered. We have always admired Mr. Henry’s moral courage and un swerving fidelity, and this case only strengthens our confidence in the man. If men are forced to do desperate , deeds under desperate circumstances | let tljem do so in the broad light of ! day and then throw themselves upon j tin 1 mercy and justice of the courts and trust to them for protection and jthus save the reputation of the dear , old Palmetto State, if possible. Brave | men are always tender hearted. Cruel ty is the legitimate offspring of cow- I ardice. Men choose darkness rather than light when I hey know their deeds are evil. The pulpit, the pen ami the press of the State in general have each done their duty in bring ing this matter of moh violence and wh'desale murder to the attention of the Slate, and if it won’t hear now it will hear hereafter. Surely, surely the men. and the de scendants of the men who followed Lee. Jackson, Johnson, Beauregard and others into the very jaws of death upon the battlefield when their State had nothing at stake beyond its civil. political and constitutional rights, will not (we think) fail to do their duty when the right to live is illegally denied even one of its humb lest citizens. God have mercy upon the State and its people if the time has come when its courts of justice must take tin* sidetrack and give the right of way to lawlessness, rapine and bloodshed. Shame, shame, shame upon such a state of affairs! Your correspondent made a trip to Gaffney yesterday and met with peo ple from all points of the county.

A man who was a regular patron of that institution told us yesterday that he hardly ever went to Gaffney while the dispensary was in operation that he didn't go home more or less tight. “Now,,’ he said, “I never think of a dram, for I know I can’t get it with out going into some den where I would be ashamed to be found.” Deputy Sheriff Durham, of Gaff ney, was in this neighborhod yester day serving papers on some colored ueople who are interested in the por tion of real estate in the town of Union..

THROUGHOUT THE TARHEEL STATE RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE IN NORTH CAROLINA. LIQUOR GOVERNMENT. The Dispensary a Political Mcahine to Control the State. Spartanburg, S. C.. May 15, 1905. Editor The Ledger:—It is annarent to the most casual observer that forces are gathering, which can only result in another political revolution in South Carolina. Under our system of government it was never intended that a soverign State should engage in the liquor or any other business for profit. We no longer have a government by the regular constitutional officers, but the dispensary has absorbed all the functions of government, and consti tutes the real power in ibis State. In other words, we have a govern- menf by the liquor interest, tor th n liquor interest and of the liquor in- t*”e.,t. in 1894 tlie question of prohi bition was subn:ltt‘*ii to the people, and car ded overwhelmingly. Govern or Tillman, then in the zenith of his power, boldly overrode the verdict of the people at the ballot box., and formulated the dispensary law, not for prohibition but to build up a vast political machine to crush his ene mies. perpetuate his power and en rich the insiders with the fat rebates from a monopoly of handling three million dollars worth of liquor. It has admirably answered its purpose in these respects. The State is abso lutely controlled by a political ma chine, where corrupt and degrading influence is hardly paralleled by the famous Louisiana lottery. Instead of taxes growing less, as was promised, they have steadily Increased, and the finances of the State are in hopeless confusion: nobody seems to know “where we are at.” We have an army of State consta- Ides drawing hig salaries, chasing poor, weak kittens in the rural Items of Interest Concerning Ou* Neighbors in the Old North 8tat« Culled Expressly for Ledger Readeri Mr. Otho B.

The truth of the matter is that the dispensary scheme was a wild fantastic experiment, “conceived in sin and born in iniquity.” The temp tations are so insidious, and the op portunities so abundant, that its man agement will make a thief out of an honest man.

Where one has more than he is able to cultivate well it would be wise to cut off a portion and sow in peas and sorghum, which, for the farmers with stock to feed, is one of the best pay ing crops. Or if he has not the time to work with peas and sorghum let the land lie. and he can gather a good crop of crab grass from it. which, if cut at the right time, makes good feed for cattle, too. The prospect for a crop of fruit Is good in-our county. The Lugs are eating up the Irish potato vines again. Last year they missed us. and we hoped they had gone for good.
