FUN (NO PLEASURE AT GUUCHER GREER BARBECUE, BASEBALL SPEECH MAKING. Large Crowd Attends Barbecue— Hours Enlivened by Baseball, Eat ing and Speeches. The barbecue at Goticher last Fri day was a social success for those who attended and a financial success for i he promoters. A large and altogether orderly crowd was present, possibly one thousand people, and there was not a semblance of disorder nor any evidence of intoxication. It was an ideal day, an ideal gathering, and ev erybody had a fine time. The fun began by a game of ball between Blue Branch and Love Springs, in which the former won by the score of 7 to G. At the conclusion of the ball game. Master of Ceremonies W. H. Smith, of Gaffney, called the meeting together and introduced Mr* T. (i. Chalk, the first speaker. Mr. Chalk entertain ingly related the history of the sec tion, giving detailed Information con cerning the early settlement of the community. Rev. F. C. Hickson followed Mr. Chalk. Mr. Hickson is always enter taining, and was no less so on this oc casion. The subject of his remarks was “The Country People," and he proceeded to laud them for their hon esty, virtue and smartness, saying, among other things, that a large ma jority of the great and good people were country bred, and encouraging them to go onward and upward in their march of progress. Mr. H. S. Lipscomb was the next speaker. Mr. Lipscomb is a Spartan burg man. not by choice but bv acci dent. as it happens that the line di viding Spartanburg and Cherokee is only about one-half mile from Mr. Lipscomb’s home. Mr. Lipscomb’s subject was the Southern Cotton Growers’ Association, and he was full of enthusiasm for his subject. For three quarters of an hour he detailed the achievements of the association and declared that if the farmers would only organize and stick together they criuld demand any kind of a price they desired for their cotton. Mr. Lipscomb declared that the farmers of Cherokee had received about $40,000 more for their cotton crop than they otherwise would have received had it not been for the Cotton Growers Association. At the conclusion of Mr. Lipscomb’s ^speech dinner was announced. And right here trouble began. The Gaffney brass band had been discoursing sweet music at intervals all morning, licking their chops between tunes in anticipa tion of satisfying the inner man with barbecued hash, etc. But Manager C. E. Smith got so busy with the boys who were shoving fifty cent, pieces at him for barbecue tickets that he forgot all about the band: the jingle of the silver drowned the sound of the big bass drum, and as a consequence he n-eglected to simply the band boys with tickets to the first table. When the matter was drawn to his attention he hastened to make amends, but the boys declined to play second fiddle any longer, packed their instruments and hied themselves to Gaffney, where they were received with open arms by the cooks who stayed at home, or consoled themselves as best they could with empty stomachs until sup per time. At any rate they didn’t, or wouldn’t, eat barbecued dinner after the choice meats had been goVdded up by those who hold tickets Of course Manager Smith meant no harm and no one regretted the affair more than he, but he alone was responsible for the oversight and it will probably serve to make him remember his in vited guests in the future. We un derstand that there were others who went expecting to be entertained by Mr. Smith, bit* who were likewise neg lected. After dinner speaking was resumed. Mr. R. C. Sarratt being the first speaker. Mr. Sarratt confined himself to the Cotton Growers’ \ssociation and advised organization. He declar ed. among other things (and most righteously sol that politicians were a necessary evil but that they were worth nothing to anybody excep} them selves; that they were the only oives benefited by the votes of the neople, and that they cared nothing for the welfare of the people except, to get their votes. Others were called on to speak, but were either absent or declined. Mr. Hickson again took the stand. After speaking for some time be was inter rupted by Mr. H. S. Lipscomb, who propounded a question. After a run ning debate of several minutes, Mr. Lipscomb mounted the platform and it was difficult, for some time to tell who was the speaker. Mr. Hickson or Mr. Lipscomb. At any rate thev di vided time for quite a while until fi nally Mr. .Hickson retired, leaving Mr. Lipscomb with an open field and a fair track. There is no gainsaying the fact that Mr. Lipscomb is a long dis tance speaker, for be spoke about an hour and did not seem to begin to exhaust his subject. At the conclus ion of bis speech the following resolu tion was offereq and adopted without a dissenting vote: Resolved: Thar wo the Cherokee branch of the Southern Cotton Grow ers' Association in a county rally meeting do congratulate both our na tional and State officers for the busi nesslike manner in which they have conducted the nffni r « of the Southern Cotton Growers’ Association, and es pecially do we congratulate our na tional secretary, Richard Cheatham, for the manner in which he took is sue with our government, both on con dition and acreage figures, and for his prosecuting and expelling the rascals in office at Washington, D. C. After the passage of this resolution Chairman Smith, on behalf of the man agement, thanked the gathering for their attendance and good behavior, after which he announced the meeting adjourned. A game of baseball between Cow- pens and Corinth closed the day, the former winning by a score of 6 to 4. PRISONERS TRIED TO BREAK JAIL CRILDREN'S DAY AT SALEM CHURCH A LARGE AND ORDERLY CROWD PRESENT. Their Plan Was Given Away by a Trusty. Charleston, July 28.—An attempt at jail delivery was made yesterday af ternoon, it was learned today, but the attempt was a failure as all pre vious attempts have proven, for es cape is hardly possible from the big prison. Four desperate negroes who have been’confined in one of the steel cages of a section of the third floor laid the plans for the delivery. They have been endeavoring to bribe one of the trusties to pass them the key of their cage, thinking that once they got out of the cell they would have free use of the floor, and then easily take the corridor and steps down, attacking the jailer or his assistant and finally get ting past the big iron gAte into the street. They had timed their attempt to take place when Capt. Graddiek was alone, with Assistant Rice at din ner. From the section they could see when the assistant would leave the tail for dinner. The trusty imparted the plan to Capt. Graddiek and he de termined to let the negroes make the attempt. He instructed the trusty to let the negroes have the key which would give them access to the prison floor, and open their way to the corri dor and steps. They were not. how ever, aware of the iron gate which would have barred their way on the steps to (he street gate. The negroes opened the stout lock and then watched for the assistant to leave the jail at his accustomed hour They saw him pass, but Capt. Grad dick had arranged for Rice to return immediately, which he did, unknown to the negroes. The negroes lay in wait behind the sheet iron door of the section, opening on the corridor, as ihe footsteps of Capt. Graddiek were heard coming up the stone stairway. Rice was behind, both armed with billies and pistols, but they heard only Graddiek on one of bis regular tours of inspection. As he turned from the corridor and stepped into the prison corridor, the largest of the negroes, Lovelace, made for him, but he jump ed back as he looked down the muz zle of the pistol and then Rice showed up. The negroes were inarched back to their cell, and for the next JO days each of the four men will spend a part of the day in the sweat box. and they will he fed on bread and water, which will teach them a lesson for planning the murder of the prison of ficial and their escape. to AN IMPORTANT OPINION. Rendered by the Attorney General Friday. Columbia. July 28.—In response to inquiries from county supervisors Senator Brice, of York, and others Attorney General Gunter today render od an opinion to the effect that elec tions under the Brice act on the ques tion of voting out dispensaries in the eighteen counties where campaigns are now being waged to that end must be conducted as are genera] elections, with all formalities as size of ticket, appointment of mana ers of elections, etc. He construes the words “conducted as other special elections” to fall within section 205 of the code providing that such elec tions shall he conducted as general ^lections. According to The opinion the Pickens election was irregular and void. The opinion is of intense interest in view of the general agitation of the ques tion throughout the State. The dispensaryites will likely renew iheir efforts to have the Pickens elec tion declared void, but it. is suggested that the opposition could well meet the situation by holding another elec tion at. once before the courts can decide the first election, and possibly allow a reopening of the dispensary there. Asbury, July 29.—The weather is '■cry hot now and crops are in need of a good rain. Cotton looks fine but corn don’t look so well.

A Day of Pleasure at Historic Old Sa lem—Address of Welcome by Sam J. Strain in Behalf of Church. Wilkinsville, July 28.—Yesterday the long looked for and much talkeu of Children’s Day came off at Salem By 10 o’clock A. M. the congregation assembled upon the church grounds was variously estimated at between 900 and 1,000 people, embracing all ages. The day was an ideal one and everything was in highest expectancy. Every section of the country for miles around was represented. At half-past ten o’clock the house was called to or der by Sam J. Strain, master of cere monies, and the programme as here tofore published in The Ledger was carried out with but little variation— one speaker. Miss Christine Patrick, aged about four years, having been added to the list for a recitation.. Each scholar wore a badge with this inscription: “Salem S. S. Children’s Day, July 27. 1905.” The school formed in line in front of the speaker’s stand and sung “My Country’ ’Tis of Thee.” etc., while eleven boys, whose ages ranged from about four to eight years, marched in with the national colors. Each boy wore a sash of red, white and blue. They aligned them selves in front of the school and stood facing the congregation while Mr. Abe Brown, of Armenia, Chester county, led in prayer. After which the school then sung, “Nearer. My God, to Thee. Nearer to Thee.” etc. In behalf of Salem church Mr. Sam Strain then de livered the following address: “Ladies, Gentlemen, Friends and Felloweitizens: In behalf of our church and Sunday school I again have the honor of extending to you the cor dial welcome of old Salem church, the spiritual mother of many generations.” To you and me these are historic grounds, with many hallowed memo ries. Year after year we meet here to prosecute our work for the future and to perpetuate the memories of rhe past. Our hearts go out in the fullest measure of love and veneration to you who so often meet with us to cheer us with your presence and smiles of ap probation. We are always glad to have you one and all with us. No matter whether “You come in the evening, at midday, or morning. Come when you are looked for or come without warning, With a cordial welcome we will al ways greet you, And leave you the better the oftener we meet you.” “It is upon the children of this gen eration the mantle of authority in both church and State is soon to* fall.and the groat duty of the present genera tion to prepare them for that event. This we are trying to do; and we pre sent them to you today with their lit tle hearts full of love for the work in which we are engaged. For days ami weeks they have been preparing for this occasion, and we trust that you may not go away disappointed. They extend to you the gracious welcome which I have the honor of announcing. Their youihful hearts are overflowing with love for the Master and His work. You are welcomed, yea. thrice welcomed, to the festivities of this occasion and to all the joys that at tend our meeting in the arena of Chris tian fellowship. We are glad to have you with us. ladies, gentlemen and friends, and we trust that you in your generosity will overlook and forgive any failure on our part to make this an ideal Children’s Day . May t,he spirit of our kind Heavenly Father preside over every heart and so di rect it that His name may be glori fied and His will be done, on this and all other occasions. May our coining together today be the means of inspir ing new energies, new hopes and new aspirations that, will continue to grow on. increasing as the cycle of years go by. And. finally, may not a single one in this vast assemblage be missing or rejected when we are called with all the redeemed of earth and glorified saints in heaven to sit down with Fathers Abraham. Isaac and Jacob at the marriage supper of the Lamb.” The Programme was carried out to the letter. It consumed about one hour and forty-five minutes, when a re cess was taken for dinner. The afternoon session of about one and a half hours was taken up with singing by the school and addresses by Mr. H. F. Horton and others. The church was tastefully decorated. Over the pulpit was “Welcome." and “God Is Love,” just under it. To the right of the speakers’ stand was hang ing the Sunday school banner, with this inscription: “From Bethlehem’s Manger to Calvary’s Cross.” On the left hung the I’nited States flag. As soon as the congregation was dis missed from the house all, or most of it, repaired to the grove where many happy family and friendly reunions were held by those who had not seen each otiier In many years.. Cupid was present, as usual, and his arrows flew thick and fast as the sun went toward his resting place in the west. The lemonade stand erected for the benefit of the church was the focal center of ont-door pleasure, where the belles and beaux regaled themselves on the delicious refreshments there for sale. Enough was realized from it to put a new coat of naint on the church Without any boasting or flattery, we can say that we never saw^i lar f , r and better behaved congregation of the same size gathered at Salem or elsewhere. To the young men and young ladies of Salem the congrega tion, especially the older part of it, is greatly indebted for the interest they all took and have taken to have the church and grounds improved and beautified. Their ceaseless and inde fatigable efforts in this direction are well worth honorable mention and to them we take off our hat «nd say, “Well done, good and faithful serv ants.” They deserve all the praise they get from every right-thinking person whose sensibilities to' justice have not been blunted by the shafts of ignorance, prejudice and self-ag grandizement. In all that vast assem bly of persons we are proud to say we did not see a person we thought in anyway under rhe influence of strong drink or in anyway disorderly. We heard that one poor pitiful object was seen reeling about the grounds who needed the prayers of a pious mother or true friend that he might be released from the slavery of John Barleycorn. This we hope will yet be his good fortune to get before all hopes of his final recovery may he abandoned. But. taken all In all. the day was a grand success and the peo ple of Salem have authorized us to thank the generous public for their unstinted generosity and good behav ior for wnicb the pleasure of the day is largely, if not entirely, due. Proper precaution was taken to have order preserved and this was one of the safeguards which so materially aided in making the day one of pleas ure rather than otherwise. J. L. S.

Verdicts of Guilty in Every Case Ex cept One, Laurens, July 28 —The chief feature l in the present term of the criminal court is the fact that a conviction has resulted in every case, save one, so far t ied. The jury is an exceptionally strong one and seems to be doing its duty admirably. And the work of So licitor Cooper is commented upon on all sides as strikingly clear and vig orous. Decidedly the most interesting case to be heard at this term is that of the State vs. Powell H. and William ^oung Baldwin, brothers, who have been indicted by the grand jury on the charge of having been the principals in the killing of Abe McDaniel, the old negro farmer, in his home 14 miles southwest of Laurens, on the night of BLACKSBURG BREVITIES. Personals and Locals from the Iron Ctiy Across the Broad. Blacksburg. July 29.—A terrific thun der storm, accompanied by a very heavy lownpour of rain, came upon Blacksburg late yesterday afternoon. A heavy bolt of lightning struck the southwest corner of the upper story of the town hall where Attorney N. W. Hardin and Dr. W. E. Anderson, den tist. have their offices. Although strik ing the building on Mr. Hardin’s side, the lightning ran across the front <»f the brick building and entered Dr. Anderson’s office, completely shaiter- ing ever\ pane of glass, setting fire to rhe furniture and papering of the loom and throwing the instruments into a confused mass ail over the door and a few of them out on the streets and sidewalks 50 or 60 feet distant. Dr. Anderson’s dental chair and cabinet were not injured but bis desk and books were burned and scorched. In Mr. Hardin’s room the only dam age sustained was the breaking of bis typewriter stand, tearing loose froin the wall the large book shelves ami throwing the books in a confused on the floor.
