Mrs. Myrtle Hutelnner Becomes In
sane While In the City.
An incident that was. to v sav the
least, very much out of the ordinary
and at the same time very pathetic,
occurred on the streets of the citv
yesterday morning. A voung white
woman probablv about thirty-five
years of age, who lives about se\en
miles from the city, at what Is com-
moniv designated as the Brickhouse
plantation, came to the city earlv ves'
terday morning in a wagon with a
colored man. She and the man were
seen while enroute by several per
sons but nothing unusual was noticed,
either by her actions or her appear
ance. However, she had not been in
tb- citv very long before she mani
fested signs of insanity, which were
first apparent by actions on one of the
streets, when she was seen and heard
makinp' queer noises and in the midst
of strange actions. A crowd was at
tracted to the scene and shortly after’
wards a police officer arrived and ar
rested the woman, putting her in the
citv prison. She was seen here yes
terday bv a Ledger man, when it was
disclosed that her name is Mrs. Myr
tle Hutsinger. Apparently she is a
woman of about thirty-five v‘«irs of
age. It can be seen at a glance that
whatever her former condition may
have been, she is a: present violently
insane. Enquiries disclose that she
has been in confinement iivthe county
jail In this city once before for insan
ity. an.l on this occasion was sent to
tlm State asylum for the insane at
Columbia, where she remained a short
while, until ir was thought that she
was completely recovered.
It is probable that she will have
medical attention at once, which will
no doubt necessitate another visit to
the State asylum. The case is a sad
one, as she tells that she has several
children at her home some distance
In the country. She employs her time
In heating on the bars of her cell with
planks that she has torn from a box,
and insisting to the officers that they
release her. Officials of the county
jail tell the writer th?»* on the occas
ion before when she was confined
here she completely destroyed an iron
pot which was in her cell at the time.
This was about three years ago.

Taxpayers Are Determined to Have
Thejp Man in Field.
Mr. Editor:—The card of Mr. J. C.
Otts is. not only a disappointment to
the great majority of the voters of r' e
county, but a surnrise. It has been
gpnerally understood that he wou d
he the next -senator from Chen)’ ee
county, and £tot no one would oppose
him.
We realize that it means a monetary
sacrifice and a professional sacrifice,
but we do nor. want a senator to rep
resent this county who is not * man
of affairs, who is not man who has
enough business to make it a sacri
fice.
Knowing Mr. Otts as we do, we
think that he wrote that o d declin
ing to go into politics aga i. while
under stress of his legal siness.
We believe that saber, patrio sec
ond thought will show him tnai he
owes a duty to his State and county,
and we believe him man enough to
make the sacrifice.
As one who voted a‘ r aln°* him two
vears ago, I, in common with manv
others think he has made us an ideal
representative. Members of th ■ leg
islature from Spartanburg, l nlon.
York and Chester have told us that
M|% Otts was one of the strongest
and most influential members ot the
legislature. Mr. Nesbitt, a broth* • of
our Dr. .1. N. Nesbitt, says: ‘ Mr.
Otts was one of the clearest Headed
members of the house, and he has rhe
confidence of the house, and Ch< ro
kee county owes It to herself )nd i' e
Stat-- t- keep him In the general as
sembly.” This is bur the comment of
others.
' The whiskey question is unsettled
and the tax business is in a muddle.
We need our best men at Colurabir
Mr. Otts is an experienced legislator
and a maq whom all trust. He is a
man who improves upon acquaint
ance. Those who know him be$- trust
him most; those who know him know
he is no “quitter.” We feel that
we can call upon him and that
he will sacrifice six weeks a ye»r for
his county and State.
We ask that you put the announce
ment in your paper, at the proper
ti and guarantee the payment.

It seemed an Injustice to him be
fore the trial, and it seems now un
feeling, since his condemnation, to be
continually bringing him before the
eyes of the world.
I believe that although the empan-
neling of jurors for our courts of jus
tice is very imperfect, vot you will
generally find on almost every jury
that sits on a case, men of Intel
ligence, who think for themselves
and haVe right ideas of truth and jus
tice and will stand by their honest
convictions. The verdict of such men
as Hames and Spake on the Hasty
case (and doubtless others that I do
not now) would lead a jury accord
ing to the evidence and right. I was
sorry to hear that morbid curiosity
was so wroughr up on the days of the
Hastv trial as to fill the court rooms
to overflowing with rntyi and women.
In St. Luke. 13:14, Christ asks:
“Think ye that, the eighteen on whom
(lie tower of SHoam fell and slew
were sinners above all that dwelt, at

And do you think, Mr. Editor, that
the young man. George Hasty, on
whom a terrible retribution has fall
en. was the onlv one with a hev‘
filled with lusr and malice? I know
we have here in our county, and I be
lieve you have in Gaffney, men
whose hearts are bare and whose
lives are blacker than the nights. If
such characters had their just de
serts they, also, would have their

Gaffney, March 19.—Last Wednes
day evening we left G3ffney and
drove over to the county home and
H”ent the night with Mr. O. Perry
Hill, where we were kindly enter
tained and given a cordial welcome.
The county is fortunate i 3 securing
such a manager of the county farm as
Mr. Hill. Last year he made about
600 bushels of corn and a loi of other
produce, and he has several good
.iog 3 for the next killing season. He
has only one mule to do all his farm
work, but it is a "ood one. Mrs. Hill
is a daughter of the late Bailus Pain
ter and is an excellent lady.
The-county poor are being well pro-
ivdej for, and the inmates speak
In the highest terms of Mr, and Mrs.
Hill.
Next day we took dinner with the
fi«mil- of Mr. John-Bently, one of our
old Union county neighbors.
We wen- to see Mr. Goodman Prid-
more that evening and spent an hour
with him.
We made several new acquaintances
along our |lne of travel and returned
to the home of Mr. James Sparks
about sun down. Mr. Sparks is a
well-to-do farmer with plenty about
him. He is improving his farm in ev
ery way so ,i s to make it a model one 1
At Mr. Sparks’ we were treated to
some splendid music, both vocal and
instrumental. Those taking part In
It were: Miss Myrtle Bonner, Pink
Bonner, Misses Marv. Nonie and Nel
lie Sparks, James Black, Travis and
Howard Sparks. Miss Nonie Sparks
was the organist anj she did splen
did service.
Next day, Friday, we oassed through
the Maud section and took dinner
with our good friends, Mr. and Mrs.
Eliphus Horton. Mr. Horton and his
daughter. Miss Onie, were preparing
to go to Piedmont church neighbor
hood, where they were to take part
in the birthday celebration of an old
lad - friend In that community. They
invited us to stay at their home all
night and they would give up their
trip. But as Miss Onie had been in
vited to go and play the organ for the
occasion we Insisted that she go an.l
nerform that part of the programme.
So we told them we would pa- them
another visit, and took our denarture
for the State Line neighborhood.
That afternoon we passed through
a thickly settled neighborhood we had
never had the pleasure of visiting.
On this trip we made many new ac
quaintances, taking orders for some of
our bookst Part of the time we were
Inside of North Carolina. Near sun
set we halted at the home or Mrs.
Ami Eliza Gamp, the widow of the
late James Joshua Camp, one of our
old army comrades and a highly re
spected personal friend. Mrs. Camp
and her family treated ns as if we
were one of their kinsmen. Mrs. Camp
was formerly a Miss Goudelock and
one of Union county’s mogr estimable
and at Inactive young ladies. Mr.
Tanses Camp, though onlv a boy. in
his teens, was as gallant a soldier as
was In Lee’s army. We were quite
nnwel; while at rhelr home, but they
treated its very kindly and hospitably
and insisted on our stayin'-' with
them until we finally recovered. Tut
thinking a'drive of fourteen miles no
too much to undertake, w« ntrurk on 1
for Gaffney, which wo made in a If!
tie over three hours’ time. On our
way, when about three miles from
town we mot with and witnessed the
i sjd and untimely death of Mr. Burr
! illy, who, while ref,'imine to his
horn*; aider spending a week as a Ju
ror in the eourr of common nleas. w:is
taken with hear* disease and was pi -
on from his buggy and laid down on
the road side, whore, without a groan
or the twitching of a muscle, he
breathed his last. He was riding in
company w'ith his faithful and af
fectionate daughter, who had gone to
bring him home -from court. The
scene was truly heart-rending. Dr.
Aeen was 'phoned for and came to
the scene in a few minutes. In I ss
th half :in hour fully seventy-five
or a hundred people were on the
grounds.
We reached town about sun do • n
and found the streets almost deserted
by the crowds rhat hail thronged them
for the last three weeks. Du ring
our trip we did a fairlv go' 1 bus!-
nest, taking orders for the Reminis
cences of the Civil War bv General
John B. Gordon, and al ^ for Horse
shoe Robinson, besides other books
we carry. .
We must take off our hat to the peo‘
pie of Cherokee county and 'hank
them for so completely redeeming
our promise thar they would take 100
copies of our Gordon hook in thirty
days from the time a reduction was
made in the price of the ybook to
$2.25. Those who felt unable or dis
inclined to patronize us in ihc sale of
this grand work can now shout as
loud a* they pleas*: and teil whaft WE
