Mr. David Ballenger Brutally Beaten By a Negro, Who is Captured and Given a Terrible Thrashing. Greenville, June 26.—Bound to a tree with an inch rope, with 100 an- gry citizens crowding about crying "Lynch, him, lynch him,” Sam Hudson, a ta”. lean negro man about 25 years of age, was given 150 lashes with bug gy whips at the hands of half a dozen of the 'x? 1 --* men in the crowd yester day morning at 11 o’clock, one mile south of Greers on the Pelham'•road, for an assault made upon Mr. David Ballenger early yesterday monjing, at which time Mr. Ballenger was badly injured and robbed in his own home. Mr. Ballenger lives a mile from Greers, on the Pelham road. Saturday night Mrs. Ballenger and the only son living with his parents spent the night with relatives at Travelers Rest. Yes terday morning at the usual hour Mr. Ballenger arose and went in his kitcli en to prepare his breakfast. While building a fire in the cook stove a strange negro appeared at Uie door and wanted to hi.e. When told by Mr Ballenger he did not need any more hands at present, he asked for some breakfast. This was refused, and the negro be came angry and insulting in his man ner. He mounted the door sten and advanced into the room where Mr. Ballenger was standing. The negro suddenly sprang upon him, felling him to the floor. In the 1 scuffle that took place Mr. Ballenger was hurled head long down the step into the yard, the negro on top. Ballenger held his own with the negro for some time, but on accotmt of his advanced age his strength finally gave out and after beating Ballenger into semi-conscious ness, the negro pilfered his pockets, taking everything he found, including a pocketbook containing $8 and valu able papers. As soon as the pocket- book was obtained, the negro ran, leaving Mr. Ballenger in a serious condition . After he had recovered from the shock, Mr. Ballenger went to the home of Magistrate J. H. James, near by, and told him of the occurrence. « Magistrate James at once informed several of the neighbors, and with them a search for the negro was insti tuted. He was trailed for several miles in the direction of Pelham, first his shoes on. then with them off; in some places the fleeing negro would , go one road a short distance, tjirn around and go back towards Greers, take another road, travel that road for some distance, then go through fields and swamps, but the pursuing party kept steadily on the track like so many bloodhounds, and the negro was finally discovered in a swamp near Pelham cotton mills. He denied any knowledge of the affair whatever. The crowd was hecoming so enraged at this point that Magistrate Jaules suspected trouble. While the crowd Was composed of men who were his neighbors and friends, the host men in the community, he realized that it would take hard work to keep the negro from being lynched on the spot. The crowd numbered 50 people and the Magistrate knew he woul'’ Te pow erless to prevent a lynching x -ept by persuading the enraged cit e. i to al low' the law to take its c<i ■ ■, The negro denied his guilt an seemed very impudent. It was suggested by one of the crowd to horsew'hip him on the spot. The Negro Whipped, Cooler heads suggested carrying him back to the Ballenger home for identi fication, which was agreed unon. The negro was tied in a buggy and despite the protestations of the magistrate, who foresaw trouble, he w r as driven quickly to the scene of his crime. Mr. Ballenger identified the negro and the pocket-book was found on the negro’s person. Tins was enough for the crowd, and despite all efforts and the protestations of Mr. Balenger, ‘who did not want harm to come to the negro, he was hound to an oa’ tree in the yard, and in turn half a dozen of the men used buggy whips with telling ef fect. The negro confessed his crime very quickly and begged for mercy. Sunday morning at it was, the neigh borhood rang with the yells of the negro as the lash was applied with vigor, and the marks he will carry to his grave will always remind him of the fiendish act he committed on a Sunday morning in June. The negro was brought to the coun ty jail hero for safe keeping. Ten Times Easier.

Tuesday and Wednesday last, proved to be a very delightful and profitable one. The attendance was very good; more than most people ex pected to see there in the midst of such a busy season. A number of churches had messengers present, w'ho entered heartily into the spirit of the meeting. Prof. R. O. Sams was chosen as per manent president of the meeting, and Mr. Chalk was made clerk. Rev. W. T. Thompson was made treasurer. Rev. B. W. Spillman was present and gave a number of very helpful talks about Sunday school work. His talk on “The Boy Problem” was es pecially helpful and no thoughtful per son who heard it can hereafter have an indifferent attitude towards the Sunday school. The opening address was made by Dr. Simms, on “The Aim of the Sun day School.” In some respects the address sounded the keynote for the convention anti gave to some persons, we are sure, a new idea of the dignity and importance of Sunday school work - The reports by superintendents brought out some interesting facts and some very encouraging ones. The talks by the pastors on “What 1 Do for My Schools,” revealed clearly the different conceptions that pastors have of this work. Rev. F. C. Hickson made several in teresting talks on different features of the work. The convention made arrangements through the enlargement of its work to look after the “Home Department,” "Infant Class Work.” “Normal Work,” and “Music.” Mr. Campbell, of Midway, was chosen vice-president, and Mr. Ray will look after the singing next year. The next meeting will he held at Ooucher the fifth Sabbat’- mi April. 1006, and, from present prosphets, will he the largest and best planned meet ing ever bed by Sunday school work ers in this section of the State. The Macedonia peope won all hearts by their kindness and by their at tendance in such numbers, as well as by the deep interest they took in the work. The attendance from Gaffney was very gof»;l and all enjoyed them selves. NEW PROSPECT NEWS. Crops Well Worked Out and Looking Well. New Prospect, June 27.—The weath er continues dry and hot in this sec tion. There have been good showers all around us. Our farmers have worked out their crops and have them In fine condition, so far as they have power to control; but crops can do very little growing now until it rains. Corn, especially, is suffering because of the dry weather. Vegetables are also suffering greatly. Mrs. J. C. Jones says that her cucum ber vines have quit bearing on ac count of the dry weather, and the pickles are missed very much at the du ner table. Mr. R. V. McMillin started his threshing machine out this morning. We think that the ones who measure wheat with the thresher this time will not have very much to do, as the wheat is so poorly filled, having only one and two small grains to the mesh. We hope that the farmers will not get out with the wheat crop just because it is not good this time. Sow just as much next fall, if not increase your acreage, as usual. You may make a good crop next year. Mr. Mat Young, who has been sick for some time, is now lying just at the point of death. The writer had the pleasure of at tending the picnic at Gaston Shoals, on Broad river, last Saturday. When I arrived at the place a small crowd of humanity had already congregated. In a short while dinner was served. The table was a nice one, furnished with plenty of “good rations.” The afternoon was spent in pleasant con versation. there being neither speak ing nor games of any kind. The be haviour was excellent and it seemed that all present enjoyed the occasion very much. I have been traveling the road lead ing from Mesopotamia to Gaffney by way of iho old Cowpens battleground for the past ten dyears, and never have l seen crops so small as at this season of the year. Some crops are right pretty, but on an average we think that cotton is at least three weeks late, and without a very late fall more than evo-thirds of a crop cannot he expected. Mr J. C. Jones made seventy bush els of wheat. Wheat is threshing out A NEWSY LETTED FROM WILMNSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. more ‘ban it was ‘xpected it would. Pet. JOHN COLE ARRESTED. Farm Overseer Who Killed a Negro Hand Saturday. Laurens, June 26.—Coroner Watts’ special constable. J. M. Pitts, early this morning delivered to the sheriff Mr. John Cole, charged with killing Virge Caldwell, colored, at Goldville late Saturday afternoon. He will probably be granted hail by Judge Klugh at Newberry today. Mr. Cole, v/ho is overseer for Mr. J. S. Blalock, had just returned from this city it seems and was out about the lot, when a rov. r started up be tween Caldwell and another negro. Cole commanded them to stop the fuss. Caldwell resented the interfer ence and started at Cole with a drawn knife. Quick as a flash Cole drew his pistol and shot the man three times. Caldwell ran about 50 yards and fell dead. Mr. Cole is about 23 years old and is a son of Mr. Thos. J. Cole, a good citizen of Cross Hill, this county. FIRST DAY OF AUGUST Named by President as Day for Pleni potentiaries to Meet in Washington Washington, June 26.—The presi dent has expressed a wish to the Japanese and Russian governments that the plenipotentiaries meet in the United States on the first day of August, and if not on that date then at the earliest date thereafter. The following statement regarding the meeting of the plenipotentiaries was made public at the White House to day; “The president has received from both the Russian and Japanese gov ernments the statement that the plenipotentiaries of the two countries will meet in the United States during the first ten days of August and the president lias expressed to both governments the wish that the meet ing should take place, if possible, on the first of August and if not on that date, then at the earliest date there after.” SPARTANBURG ELECTS MAYOR. John F. Floyd Successful in the Sec ond Primary. Spartanburg, June 27.—John F. Floyd was elected mayor of the city of Spartanburg over O. L. Johnson In the second primary election held here today, his majority being 255. The winning candidate received 901 votes and his opponent 619. For aldermen J. E. Bagwell was elected in Ward Four, receiving 175 votes against James Cofield’s 172. R. P. Piehoff was a lone candidate In Ward Six. and received all the votes for the office in that section. The friends of the winner are making merry tonight with a brass hand and bonfires and the public square and main streets are the scenes of demonstrative enthusi asm. A DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT. Mr. Stanyariie Little Accidentally Shot by Mr. Henry Smith. A very deplorable accident happen ed in this city Tuesday night by which one of Gaffney’s young men is severe ly wounded and another one tortured by regrets. It was the accidental shooting of Mr. Stanyarne Little by Mr. Henry Smith while thef were to gether in the latter’s pool room in rear of Hamlin’s store on Limestone street The unfortunate occurrence took place about one o’clock in the morn ing, just as the room was about to he closed for the night. Mr. Smith had secured his pistol to take with him to Ins room and, it seems, broke it to load it. or to see if it was loaded, when just as he closed the breech the weap on was discharged and the ball, a 38- calibre. entered the body of Mr. Little, who was sitting in a chair only a few feet away. When it was learned that he was wounded every attention possi ble was given him at once. Physicians were hurriedly summoned, and soon Drs. Steedly. Griffith. Jefferies and Brown were with the wounded man. Upon examination it was found that the ball had entered the abdomen and gone through the stomach, missing the intestines, and lodged somewhere in the back. An operation was at once performed, and the holes made by the ball closed up; though the ball itself was not found. Mr. Little stood the operation remarkably well, and soon rallied from the effects of the ether; and has since been getting along nice ly. When seen yesterday. Dr. Griffith said that if peritonitis did not set in the patient’s recoverv was almost certain. Later Dr. Steedly was consulted, and his reply was; “Since the operation his progress lias been very encouraging.” Of course no hu man being can predict with certainty as to the final result: hut Mr. Little has a strong, vigorous constitution, and everything now is favorable to his recovery. The shooting was purely an acci dent. ami no one regrets the occur rence more than does Mr. Smith, whose pistol fired rhe shot. Mr. Little's numerous friends will watch his progress with interest and hone for his speedy recovery. Are you going away? If so you 11 need a Straw Hat.

Wilkinsville, June 27.—Today is the 43rd anniversary of the battle of Gaines’ Mill, Va., which resulted In a complete victory for the Confederates. Last Sabbath the North Pacolet Interdenominational Sunday School Convention met at Salem. A large congregation, many from the York side of the river, was present. In the absence of Secretary H. E. Jefferies, Mr. Wallace Foster was requested to act as secretary pro tern. A creditable showing was made of the work during the present quarter, and considerable interest was manifested in the work of the convention generally. Sardis church was selected as the next place of meeting. September 24th. Six schools made written reports, as follows; Corinth—(Baptist) Superintendent. F. J.

Ver non Methodist, Bullock’s Creek Pres byterian. Shady Grove Methodist, and Shiloh Baptist, of York county, were represented. While there were no “big guns,” so to speak, on hand, yet the musketry was there in full force and poured a well directed fire into the liquor traf fic and its concomitant evils. While the various subjects were freely discussed, yet the conventional work done did not reach the high- water mark of enthusiasm until the query. "Is the cause of temperance a ! subject for the home, the church or | the State to deal with?” was announc- | ed. Bro. E. J. Clary led off in a tell- | ing speech. He was followed by others I along the same line, and the result was we never heard the whiskey busi- i ness get. such a pummelling at the ■ hand of this community. If anyone ! doubts that the doom of the liquor ' traffic in legalized form isn’t sealed j he hasn’t caught the sentiment of the ; North Pacolet Sunday school conven- 1 tion. One speaker went so far as to say in substance: “Senator Ben Tillman, | 1 believe, claims to be ’the father of , the dispensary;” but that is a mistake ! —the devil is the author of it from beginning to end. He, perhaps, may have used Senator Tillman to help him carry out his purpose, but Sena tor Tillman would (he believed) ad mit as readily as any of us the ruin ; it lias worked and is working upon , our people and country. "The devil,” he said, “saw under the old auti-despensary disuensatlon that ho was losing ground; that he was only holding a class of men he already had fully under his control and that he must do something to remove the opprohium of the old barroom system 1 and get a better class of people in bis j employ. So he brought about the dis pensary as a measure by which he could make his work appear respecta ble and lead a better class of men to ruin. The working of the law itself made it impossible for a certain class et pi ople to run the business for him and so he made application to the church to help him and he got church members, and even officers of the church, to come to his assistance, and j some of them are assisting him yet. My God! for a church member to on-1 gage in a business that is so ruinous to both soul and body and try to make it respectable is too much to think about, much less speak of.” We are glad to note the good be-; havior we had and interest manifested j in the convention and are more than ever convinced that its work, though j on an humble and unpretentious scale,! is doing something to bring about a better state of affairs. Those 1-told-j you-so kind of people who predicted! that this convention would "die out”I in a few months after It was organ ized sixteen years ago have had their i prospects shattered and find it strong-j or today and more determined than! ever to do solnothing. Though we must confess it has had many dis couragements, it has been the means of bringing our people of different de nominations Into closer fellowship with each other. Yet there have been (we are sorry to learn) strenuous ef forts to break It down by some who dislike the interdenominational fea ture of it. Mr. Editor, we congratulate you on some of your editorial views as well as that of your distinguished neighbor, The News, in regard to the present and future outlook for Cherokee coun ty and the State in reference to the suppression of the liquor traffic. The labor of love in which you have been so earnestly engaged and the cause for which you have so harmoniously and persistently fought ought to com mend your paper to every lover of good society and those who wish to see a sober, intelligent and virtuous generation succeed the present. It is manifestly true that the various roads to office are being lined up on both sides by men who are waiting for the prohibition hand wagon to come along, when they will jump in and have a general scramble for the lines and whip which the people hold with such firm grasp. It’s an old saying, and true saying, that “a wise man changes his opinion some time but a fool never does.” Cotton blooms are no scarcitv now. Plenty of them almost everywhere where the cotton lias had timely work. Mr. J. N. Strain was the first to pre sent one to your correspondent.

All the other cases CORINTH CHRONICLES. Crop Prospects very Poor—Personal Mention. Corinth, June 27—A red rag flaunt ed in the face of a surly male bovine could not produce more exciting re sults than those existing among the farmers today. At this writing we venture to say that we have never wit nessed such a poor prospect for a crop. To begin with, we were visited by an exceptionally dry spring. The farmers, many of them, could not plant their corn and cotton owing to their ground getting so hard. After this, a continual rain was with us for about three weeks; in fact, all the month of May. The result of his rain was disastrous. About the first of June the rain ceased. By this time crab grass had so completely captured the cotton that it was difficult to get the grass out of the cotton without cutting out too much cotton. Conse quently many missed a stand. So we herewith produce our figures relating to the reduction, condition, etc.: The reduction of acreage, eleven per cent.; missing stands, about seven per cent. Owing to scarcity of labor many fields ,were thrown away and will not be worked out, and we would figure this at about seven per cent. These figures, according to our estimation, would not vary to any great extent. ... - However, in this community, so far as we know jp'n.'.n Ilqii'of re “ Of are better auction will at least reach the figures the latter proposition he agreed. Did he make or lose by his agreement? And how much, counting thirty days to the month? that the farmers first pledged them selves to. As to condition we actu ally do not believe that the condition of tlie crops in this county would ex ceed fifty-five per cent, at present. And judging from all reports, the other counties and States of the cot ton licit are equally as bad. Miss Emma Garvin, who has been visiting friends and relatives in Gaff ney for a few days, has returned to C. Spencer were of, are better. Two weeks ago we gave out a prob lem to determine the price of an orange. A correct‘answer has been given by J. (’. Long, of Pacolet. The orange is worth 5 cents.

Spartanburg, June 26.—Since the positive announcement has been made by President Spencer that the South ern Railway would build a line from Marion, N. C., to Johnson City. Tenn., a distance of 70 miles, Spartanburg people are beginning to agitate the Spratanburg-Rutherfordton railway, which was formerly a movement of great local interest, and which would mean a great deal towards developing this city. A number of years ago $25,(mm in bonds was voted by the city of Spartanburg for this railroad. The construction of the road to Ruther- fordton. N. C., would place Spartan burg in line for all facilities from both the Seaboard and the Southern. The rich coal mines of Tennessee, West Virginia and Kentucky could be easily tapped, and better trade and commer cial channels to the west opened. The distance from this citv to Rutherford- ton is about 50 miles. The road has been surveyed, and the cost of con struction would be reasonable. It is probable that a meeting of the stock holders of the road will he held in the near future. Spencer thrifty farmers—a scientific farmer— and is meeting with much success. The Sunday school at Timber Ridge is a successful one. The attendance is increasing and much good is being accomplished. Mr. E. L. Tate is super intendent, and tiie school couldn’t havy made a better selection than Mr. Tate. Two ot our friends are entering in to a controversy in regard to a cor respondent not writing up a school entertainment that took place in that section some time ago. We regret exceedingly that these gentlemen can not settle their difficulty iff a more generous manner. It appears to us that the regular correspondent could have secured a copy of the program and furnished this paper with same. However, there are two sides to this case. We are of the opinion that the teacher of that school would have glad ly furnished a copy of the program had the correspondent demanded it. But it seems quite natural in a case like this where competition is exist ing that the correspondent left his work undone. This is one of the com plications and injustices that we are seldom visited by. K. THE SEASON’S FIRST BALE. A DELIBERATE SUICIDE. Sold at Roma, Tex., for Thirty Cents Per Pound.
