9 ersona! Paragraphs Concerning Pop
ular People and Short Stems of
that Section,
Wilkinsville. 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

Valker has been visiting the schools
>f this county and the work seems to

1. T. Bigham, who is quite unwell at
his home at Sharon. They reported
him much better on their return.

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

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

representatives in the interest of

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.

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
