CapL David W. Hodges, one of the best known planters in the upper sec tion of Greenwood county, had the misfortune to lose his barn by fire on Sunday night about midnight. To gether with the barn three head of fine horses were lost, all his cattle, 1,500 bushels of very fine corn and other provender, besides his wagons, buggies and farming implements. The loss is estimated at $3,000, with no in surance. The origin of the fire was unknown. Fifty-five years ago Capt. Hodges lost his dwelling and his barn by fire, where he now lives, to gether with nearly ail his possessions. Terrific Race With Death. “Death was fast approjaching,” •writes Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla., describing his fearful race with death, “as a result of liver trouble and heart disease, which had robbed me of sleep and of all interest in life. I had tried many different doctors and several medicines, but got no benefit, until I began to use Electric Bitters. So wonderful was their ef fect, that in three days I felt like a new man, and today I am cured of all my troubles.’' Guaranteed at Chero kee Drug Co.; price 50c.

The most successful way of ward ing off the approach of old age is to maintain a vigorous digestion. This can be done by eating only food suited to your age and occupation, and when any disorder of the stomach appears take a dose of Chamberlain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets to correct it. If you have a weak stomach or are troubled with indigestion, you will find these Tablets to be just what you need.

Cotton Looking Well, But Corn Turn ing Yellow. Antioch, May 25.—We have been having some very nice weather for a week; but the recent rains have started the grass to growing again. Where the cotton has been thinned out it is looking very well; hut where it has not it looks as if it had the s:n n llpox. Corn on King’s creek is tinning yellow on account of too much rain. There has already been a ioss in this section and the loss will l'-* much greater if the rain does not cease. A great many farmers said they would reduce their acreage, but did not; but the reduction will no doubt be made in spite of them. By the way, what has become of our brother who was talking about everybody plowing up his cotton and sowing the land in peas.? If all w'e-e to do that, what would they do with their peas? They could not sell them for anything. Brother, the thing to do, if we plow up our cotton, is to plant the land in com. or something else that will sell. Peas are bringing a fair price now, but if all would do as you stated they could not give them away, though they are fine feed for stock. We enjoyed reading the letter in a recent issue of The Ledger, on a whiskey government, and would like to see another of the same kind. We are obliged to take sides with the writer. The mountains are full of the stuff yet. lint we hope the right ones will get in behind the moonshiners and stir them up. Now that we have prohibition let’s carry it out to the end. We will be victorious if we only lianfi together. So let all pull togeth er and put the stuff out of old Chero kee. There is being a right good deal shipped into Cherokee now, and why since we have won in the fight so fat. can we not stop it from being shipped into our county?—so drinkers would have to be put to as much trouble as possible to get it. He is not a man who will spend the last cent to buy whiskey when ills wife and children are at home at work trying to make something to supply ihe needs of the family. Since the whiskey has been removed from Blacksburg there is not one-third as much drunkenness over here as before. Owing to the rain Sunday the at tendance at Sunday school was very small. We learn that Mr. Bill Dillingham, of this section, is very sick. Mrs. Sallle Hambright, who has been with her daughter, Mrs. Plax- ico, has retnmed home. Mr. Ed Hambright went to York- ville Sunday. Mr. Will Pruett, now of Georgia, was at home Sunday. Mr. Elijah McSwain, who has been attending the graded school at Gaff ney, has come home . Miss Victor Hambright, Carl H., and Charlie Hardin went to Grover Sunday. What is going to become of the roads in Cherokee? Are they going to become all rnts and hollows? Why can we not have good roads as well as York county? There has been a large tree across the road near Anti och for some time, and no one has ventured to take it out. If you were to ask why some one did not remove it the answer would' be, “That is nothing to me,” or “I never would get anything for it.” Well, if you would not get anything for it yon would be out but a little time. Let’s have good roads, by all means. The peo ple of Cherokee never have realized what good roads are; or we would have them before the end of the year. Messrs. J. B. Hambright. Ed H„ and J. F.

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop' ular People and Short Items of General Interest. Wllkinsville, May 23.—Our last let ter closed with a brief report of the entertainment at the Wilkerson school on the night of the 19th inst. Saturday the 20th there was a basket picnic on the school grounds, which was largely attended by educators, their friends and co-workers and oth er representative people. Addresses were made by Revs. P. B. Ingram and W. H. Ariail, which were highly an- preciated, being entertaining and in- structive. Each speaker showed him self fully conversant with his theme. They dealt with the management, growth and development of the school work in its multiform phases and as it relates to character building, lay ing special emphasis upon the needs of the present and future generations, for which it is the duty of the present generation to provide. Rev. ,1. L. Oats, of the A. R. Presby terian church, and Rev. W. H. Ariail, of the M. E. church, were appointed a committee to examine the reports and award the prizes. Miss Ola Wilk ins received the gold medal given by Hon. Thos. F. McDow, of Yorkville, for the scholar who ^attained the high est degree of proficiency in his studies, together with attention and deport ment, in each of which Miss Ola Wilk erson scored 1(H)—perfect. The next four highest honors were awarded Will Roach. Beattie Wilkerson, and Misses Barbara Brown anil Eula Wilk erson, respectively, each of whom played right around the 100 merit mark. A photographer was present on Saturday and took a picture of the school building and the school. in justice to the entire school it is proper for us to say that from start to finish this contest was a hard fought battle, and the successful con testants found at every step of the conflict foeman worthy of theic steel The committee, who are men of the highest standard of intelligence, char acter, integrity and efficiency, ex pressed themselves as utterly sur prised at the wonderful proficiency of the enlire school. This is suffi cient ground for the successful con testants to congratulate themselves upon having won their distinctive prizes. The school numbers about eighty scholars. These come from the homes of the common people. They represent the families of the la boring classes—the yoemanry of the county. The children were all well and neatly dressed and their deport ment upon the stage speaks volumes of praise for their devoted teacher— Miss Clara Flemming, whom they love so dearly. We might say much by way of com ment, but it is .unnecessary. When ever the representative people of western York undertake a work it is to make it succeed. A few years ago that portion of York county formed itself into a special school district and voted a sufficient tax upon them selves to run their schools several months in the year under efficient teachers, and to day “they are gather ing the bread cast upon the waters.” Of the entertainment exercises we would be glad to give a full report, but that is impracticable in the short space at our command. But we will be pardoned for referring to at least two incidents in which the smaller children were concerned, and they may be taken as a sample of the whole. It was announced that Mas ter Beattie Wilkerson would deliver a boy’s lecture on some great subject. With the dignity of a John C. Calhoun, he came to the front of the stage and bowed to the auidence. With a pre oration that would have done honor to George McDuffie he announced his subject and then led off in a pryo- technical display of oratorical thun derbolts that Demosthenes himself couldn’t better. He said, “George Washington was a great man.” (and bringing his hand down upon the table he picked up a grater which he held at arm’s length above hfs head) he continued "but here is a grater.” Bowing obeisantly he left the stage amid a storm of applause while the audience felt sold out. The "Ten little Injun boys" that Mr. Wilkerson took so much interest in surpassed anything for their years we have' ever seen. Their ages ranged from perhaps five to eight or ten years. They came upon the stage like a band of Indian warriors in uniform. Their faces painted; hats studded with feathers; their coats belted closely to their bodies, with yellow sashes, and their pants nicely trimmed with yellow stripes running down Ihe out side of the legs and each carried what seemed to be a veritable tomahawk. As ihey marched round on the stage with what is known in military par lance as the lock-step they presented a martial appearance. They went through nearly every evolution known to military science, and even included the “war dance.” When they closed they threw their hatchets at the audience, some of whom dodged as if they were expect ing to he brained. U turned out. that tile hatchets were made of pasteboard covered with tin foil. Again the au dience was sold out.

Mr. Man Parris found a cooter’s nest one day last week from which he took forty-seven eggs. Man said he was going to have them for breakfast last Tuesday morning. Some people who are reasonably intelligent are greatly puzzled to know how it is that certain other peo ple can always find out all about a popular scandal before it is generally known by the community. That’s easily understood. Dogs and buz zards can scent carrion further than any other species of the animal crea tion. J. L. S. NORTH CAROLINA. NEGRO KILLS HIS BROTHER. Dispute Over Division of Whiskey Leads to a Tragedy. Spartanburg, May 22.—Mack Jack- son. colored, shot and killed his brother, Lewis Jackson, at Campobel lo yesterday morning about 8:30 o’clock. It is said that Lewis gave his brother little or no provocation for the shooting. The slayer made his escape, but was arrested in North Car olina by J. L. Howell and Hainp Al- verson. He was brought to Spartan- burg this morning by Deputy Sheriff White and J. B. Mabry, who went to Campobello yesterday morning and took part in the search for Jackson. The shooting occurred at Lewis Jack son’s home. The trouble arose over the division of some whiskey, which it seems could not be divided out to the satisfaction of both parties. Lewis Jackson called bis brother a fool, ac cording to statements. whereuDon Mark Jackson seized a shot-gun and fired at Lewis, the lead entering the latter’s breast, killing him instantly. Deputy Sheriff Mabry, J. L. Howell and Hamp Alverson followed the ne gro to the home of his father, who lives some distance from Campobello Here they learned that he might possi bly be at the homo of one of his three uncles, who live in Polk County, North Carolina. The officers divided into parties, a party visiting each one of Mack’s uncles. Officer Howell and Alverson. upon arriving at the home of one of Mack’s uncles, found him. He had in his possession the gun with whicli he killed his brother. He was arrested without trouble. When Dep nty Sheriff White reached Officer Howell the prisoner was turned over to him and he arrived in the city this morning with his man. ARRESTED IN BRISTOL. Edward Thompson, of Spartanburg, Charged With Murderous Assault. Bristol, Va„ May 24.—Edward Thompson, of Spartanburg, S. C., claiming to lie a son of a former may or of that town and brother of the chief counsel for the Southern rail way at that point, is in the Bristol, Va., city jail charged with murderous assault upon Sidney Rogan, a well known man at this place. Thopmson struck Rogan with a handaxe in a row in this city early this morning, Inflicting a terrible wound over his left ear. which has rendered him unconscious, and his chance for life is slim. Thompson disappeared soon after the trouble but was captured. Late this evening he has retained ex-Congressman W. F. Rhea as coun sel. IS ATTENTION, BUSINESS MEN, Every business man in Gaffney urged to take the time from his busi ness today to attend the meeting at the city hall at 12 o’clock. Come with clear understanding, with a heart full of interest for the welfare of our beau tiful little city; come without malice and without prejudice and let us get together and work for the new depot and for the future interest of Gaffney. AN UNUSUAL OFFER by the Gaffney Drug Co., who offe* their patrons an opportunity of a free trial of the wonderful healing remedy, Parachamph, First Aid to the Injured. This remedy has become popular in a remarkably short length of time by its great success in curing the aches, pains and hurts of millions of people. Gaffney people should know the value and merits of Para champh .and to enable them to do so withdut risk or loss of money, these gentlemen have produced a plan. “Be ing fully convinced of the merits of Parachamph, all you have to do,” says Mr. Greene, “is to deposit the price of a bottle at our drug store, take home a bottle of Parachamph, give it an honest trial, and if not satisfied, tell us and we will return your money.” No remedy on earth compares with Parachamph for the cure of Neuralgic pains, Nasal Catarrh, Sore Throat, Fold in the Head or Chest, Rheumatic Swellings, Dry Eczema, Sunburn, In sect Stings, Mosquito Bites, Sprains. Bruises, Sore Feet, Cuts, Burns and Hurts of evory description. Para champh absolutely prevents Blood Poisoning. Parachamph soothes and heals llke’magic. No household should bo without a bottle at hand. If you receive a folder making a special of fer to you for a free trial of Para champh, bring it to our drug store without delay, frrl. till 819, Items of Interest Concerning Om Neighbors in the Old North State Culled Expressly for Ledger Readers Col. Arthur L. Wagner, of the gen eral staff, U. S. A., is in Asheville on sick leave. Col. Wagner has ben ill for a time and went to Asheville to recuperate. He is confined to his bed. Col. Wagner is perhaps the best known strategist and tactician in the United States army and was chief umpire at the great Manassas ma noeuvres last lear. He has written a number of important books, including “Wagner’s Tacticts,” and “Wagner’s OutjKist Duty,” and these books are in general use throughout the army. An incident happened at the South ern station in Cnarlotte late Tuesday afternoon that might haye resulted seriously. An express messenger nlaced his repeating shot gun on one of the trucks and turned away. No sooner had this been done, when the gun fell and as it struck the ground fired. The load tore a great hole in the box house wherein sits the watch man of the street gates. Ther were a number of people about the depot and it was exceedingly fortunate that no one was in the line of the scattered shot. The North Carolina supreme court Tuesday affirmed the decision of the lower court sustaining the act nassed by the last legislature prohibiting "bucketshops” and the practice of dealing in futures. The law makes it a misdemeanor to open a place where quotations on futures are fur nished or to buy or sell options for future delivery when the actual deliv ery of the goods is not contemplated. The effect of the decision is to close up all branches of cotton exchange houses in that State doing a future business. Notwithstanding the fact that nu merous telegrams have been sent to various sections of the country, and despite the efforts of organized searching parties, the mystery of Seig fried Roebling’s disappearance fnyn school in Asheville is still un solved. While Mr. an 1 Mrs J A Roebling, parents of the missing boy and the authorities of .be Asheville school, do not believe that young Roebling has come to grief in any way, their anxiety for their son in creases hourly. The impression pre vails in some quarters that he has been taken in by hospitable mountain eers. The First Regiment of the North Carolina National Guard will probably encamp in Charlotte this summer, if that city manifests sufficient interest and is willing to subscribe the neces sary funds to defray the incidental expenses of such encampment. This intimation was received in Charlotte some weeks ago but nothing definite was heard until recently. The most important matter that presents itself is the raising of the necessary funds. Probably from $800 to $1,000 will be necessary to make all arrangements looking to the coming of the troops. There are more than 800 men in the various companies constituting the First Regiment. By an unusual coincidence the grad uate students of Harvard University will be represented by two young Southerners in the commencement ex ercises next month.

DROWNED IN GREENWOOD. ' Mr. “Lon” Anthony Loses His Life in Pond at Grendell Mills. Monday afternoon at the Grendell Mills in Greenwood. Mr. S. A. ("Lon”) Anthony, one of the operatives in the machine shop, was drowned in the large pond used as a reservoir. The accident occurred while Mr. Anthony in company with Mr. S. S. Hale, was repairing a bridge over the pond. • Af ter completing the work the two at tempted to swim to the shore, but Mr. Anthony gave out. He had not divest ed himself of his clothing, nor shoes, and. besides, it was said that he had a large hammer in one of his pockets, all of which tended to make swimming difficult. Hale did all in his power to save the sinking man, but was un able to catch him. President McKissick was notified, and went at once to the scene of the accident, jumped into the pond, and, after hard work, recovered the body. Physicians were called, but the body had remained in the water too long to be resuscitated. Mr. Anthony, the drowned man, was a son of Mr. S. H. (or “Doc") Antho ny, who formerly lived near this pjAce. but now resides at Glendale, arfd leaves a wife at the mill in Green wood. The remains of the unfortunate young man were brought to Qaffney Tuesday afternoon and placed in Oakland cemetery by the side of a brother who was killed by a train near Duncans about five years ago.
