Feb. 20.—Last week we visited the western part of Chero kee county and spent a few davs with the people who we found making ready to commence another crop. In all the sections we have visited lately, we find a demand for hands to work on the farms. From all we can see and hear there will be no organiz ed demand for a reduction of the cot ton acreage this year in order to re duce the production and insure better prices. The death of Hon. Wm. Jefferies has spread universal grief over this section. On every hand we hear something like this, “He will be miss ed.” “We know not who will take his place.” etc., etc. But amid all this we have the con solation of knowing that he was not altogether unaware of the approach ing end. A few weeks ago the writer passed his home late in the afternoon, and he sent a runner after us with the kind invitation to stop and spend the night with him. This we did, and en joyed his hospitality to the fullest ex tent. That night, after supper, while we were seated around a cozy fire recounting the 'ncldents of the past, as well as the prospects of the future ,r non". other things he said in sub dance: “My race, I find, is nearly fin. I am getting to be very infirm. I know I can’t stay here much longer tr\.\ I am arranging my affairs for the akuroaching end. 1 am trying to make my calling and election sure.” With such a presentment to a man of Wil liam Jefferies’ intelligence we are satisfied the summons was not alto gether ’.inspected when it came. We lr \e the history of his life to other lends better qualified than ours to write i . For fully fifty years he has been *’ leading sniriti in this com munity. ! is counsel was sought af ter by the: e vho were in need of it. He was a m Tiber of Camp Jefferies l T . C. Veterans from its organization. While no doubt a costly monument will mark his !a«t resting place, he has left one eng nved by his own hands upon the hearts of his country* men that will tell coming generations whe'-e and how he lived. “We shall hear no more his pleading. For his prayer is tn'-ned to nraise; But we look for gracious answers Through the swiftly passing days.” * Mrs. Amanda Lee is quite unwell. The doctor is treating her. We spent one night last week wkh Mr. Newton O. Littlejonn and family, at their home at Asbury. Theirs is an ideal home—as much so as we have ever entered. No parents have done more in the raising and training of their children than have Mr. and Mrv Littlejohn, and they are now being rewarded for their labors. Miss Puel- la is teaching the Asbury school. She graduated with the highest honor 'T Wofford college about four ve^~ ago. Last fall she, in company with other tourists, traveled over the great west and north-west, visiting most of the important places and seeing the grand sight of that section. It’s interesting to hear her ^ell of her travels and the sights she saw. Camp Jefferies U. C. Veterans will meet at Wilklpsville on the second Saturday in March, the nth, at 11 o’clock A. M. to elect officers for the ensuing year and to pay dues—15 cents; 10 cents to general headquar ters and 5 cents to State division. A full attendance is urgently requested. The roll of members and annual dues must be in the hands of Adjutant Mickle, at New Orleans, La., and Ad jutant Jordon, of Greenville, by the flr'-'t of April or the camp will not be represented at the genunval reunion at New Orleans April 25th, 2Gth and 27ht, 1906. We are glad to welcome Mr. Willie Kirby, of Winnsboro, to our corps of correspondents. He writes an in teresting letter and his many fflends throughout Cherokee county are glad to hear from him. Willie is one of our rising young men who will make his mark in the world. In Cherokee countv the sales of “Horseshoe Robinson” and “General Gordon’s Remirtiscences of the Civil War” have been quite satisfactory to is, and we —’’I be pleased to fill ad- itional orders for either of the books. Orders for these books keep coming n. Superintendent of Education J. L. Valker has been visiting the schools >f this county and the work seems to >o going on satisfactorily. Mr. Valker himself is a teacher of large jxperience and he knows how the viork ought to be conducted. Last Saturday Mr. and Mrs. T. J. ■^stes visited Mrs. Estes’s father, Mr. 1. T. Bigham, who is quite unwell at his home at Sharon. They reported him much better on their return. Rev. R. T. Liston will preach *»t SaLm next Saobath, February 28th, at 11 o’clock A. M. The public is cor- li illy invited to attend the services a,id take part In them. Rev. Mr. Teal will preach at Abing don Creek church the second Sabbath of next month, March lltb, at 11 A. M. Yesterday Mrs. J. L. Strain and daughter. Miss Ethel, visited Mrs. Amanda Lee, who is very sick. Farmers are plowing and sowing oats. We are glad to note that Mrs. W. E. M. Kirby, of Grindal. who has been suffering with a sore leg and foot for some time, is getting along reasonably well. She is still able to get about on it and do her own house work. She is ?. sister of Messrs. John A. and Gill Hames. We spent the night last week with Mr. W. A. Donald, of White Plains. Mr. Robert Taylor is running a store ati White Plains and doing a verv good business in the commercial line. Mr. Albert Bettis, of the Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company, was In this section last week on official business. He took several now ap plications for insurance. There is considerable dissatisfac tion among laud owners as to the way real estate is being returned for tax ation this year. We take off our hat to “Blue Eyes” and thank her for the compliment she paid up in the last Ledger. We don't want to occcupv too much space in the paper and hope it will be filled by other correspondents. Miss Bonnie McCluney, our teach er. is at the bedside of her sick sister. Miss Lois McCluney. We hope she will soon be able to return to her du ties as teacher. The Salem Sunday school, had a good attendance on last Sabbath. The North Pacolet interdenomina tional Sunday school convention will meet at Abingdon Creek church on the fourth Sabbath of next month, March 25th. J. L. S. WOMEN AND SOCIETY.

For Sale by Carroll & Byers, Gaffney, Killed by a Train. Dubois Sellers, aged 16 years eld est son of Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Sellers, of Dillon, was instantly killed Mon day night at 8:20 o’clock by the northbound local freight. This train had been at Dillon about two hours, discharging freight. and several cars had been left standing on a side track very near the crossing north of the depot. The young man> in a top buggy, attempted to make this crossing. The engine, at that time on the main track, was picking up cars preparatory to leaving. The cars which had been standing on the side track prevented the young man from seeing the approaching engine until his horse was on the track. The horse, frightened by the approach ing engioe. wheeled and drew the rear wheel of the buggy immediate ly in from of the engine. Dubois was pitched forward in the center of the track and his body badly crushed by the engine. His right leg was broken at the knee, his neck was discolfcted, tyiad crushed. Veit eye protruding from the socket, and death was instantaneous. Arrested for Larceny. Constable Geiger, tl*e constable for Magistrate Lorick in Waverly. a suburb of Columbia, on Tuesday arested Walter E. Matthews, white, on the charge of larceny. It is claimed that Matthews, who seems to have a roaming disposition, put up at an Olympia boarding house and passed as a lodger, but one morning when the other inmatgs of his room arose their clothing was missing. One of the roomers did not have clothes enough left to ^o out of the house. Matthews, for whom a warrant was taken out at once, was apprehended on Harden street and olaced under arrest. Dr. George W. Dick, mayor of Sum ter. was in Washington Monday see ing several of the South Carolina representatives in the interest of the proposed public building at Sumter. To the Trustees of First Baptist Church, Gentlemen: — * We want to donate some L. & M. Paint to your church whenever they paint. The largest Methodist church lin Georgia expected to use 100 gallons of the usual kind of paint, they only used 32 gallons L.. & M. njixed with 24 gallons Linseed Oil. It costs less to paint a house with L.. & M. than with other paint, be cause painter mixes Linseed Oil fresh from the barrel at 60 cents a gallon with L. & M., and doesn’t pay $1.50 per gallon for Unseed Oil as done if ready-for-use paint is used. Also be cause the L. & M. Zinc hardens the L. & M. White Lead and makes the oaint wear like iron. L. # M. paint costs only $1.25 per | gallon. Sold bv Smith Hardware Co., Gaff ney. S. C. Negro Laborers Give Trouble. Negro labor continues to give trouble in Charleston, the strike of the operatives at the fertilizer com panies in the suburbs having ex tended itself within the city. The negroes want a raise of 25 cents. In cases where they were getting $1 a day at the phosphate mills, they struck for $1.25, and when they got this increase they demanded an ad ditional 25 cents at some of the plants. The striking fever has ex tended itself to the city and the la bor is becoming generally disorgan ized and unsatisfactory. Letter to J. G. Wardlaw . Yorkville, S. C. Dear Sir: When you can buy paint for less than Devoe; don't; save your money. Mr Aaron Higgins, Plainflold, N J, always used 15 gallons of paint for his house; Devoe took 11. Mr Burt Young, Girard, Pa, always used a gallon for certain rooms: took half as much Devoe. Mr Nataniel Barber, Canton. N Y, bought 12 Devoe; used less than 6. You can always buy paint for less than Devoe; don’t; save your money. The wearing counts the same way and doubles the difference. The cost of painting is by the gal lon. Weak paint costs most; most gallons. Yours truly F W Devoe & Co 17 P S.—R. M.
