Wilkinsville, March 27.—Last Tues day morning wo left Gaffney for Cow- pens and Clifton. On our way we stooped and took dinner with Mr. L. B. Davis, who we found busy at his farm work. Mr. Davis has been teach ing until compelled to quit his •school and go to the farm. It’s a matter of Impossibility to get hands, and he. like many others, has to do his own farm work or let it go un done. That night we found ourself at busy, hustling Clifton, where we spent the night with the family of Mr. C. A. Sparks, who Is boss of the spinning department. Next day we passed back through Cowpens, where we have done a fair ly good business and have been clev erly treated and patronized by the peoplp of that little city. We took dinner with Mr. Charlie Dorman. From anything like city airs Cow- epns Ts as free as any place of its size we have ever visited. It’s made up principally, if not entirely, of peo ple from the surrounding country. One of our neighbors, in speaking of the place and its business men, said he had rather trade there than any place be ever dealt with. That night we stopped with Mr. H. M. Maynor. “Mike” is one of the most independt-nt men in; Spartan burg county. He has about six boys, who make good farm hands, and plen ty of stock and feed to run a large three-horse farm. He Is doing well. So far as we could see, and we are glad to mention this fact. Besides running a farm he Is much Interested In schooling his children. Here we met some of our old noifhbors and acquaintances we had not seen in a long time. We found Ion service would he held, preparatory services beginning on Saturday before at 3 o’clock P.

Foster and children, of Hickory Grove, are visiting her pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Estes. Miss Bonnie McCluney visited Mrs. Lizzie Mitchell, of Hopewell, last Sat urday. Misses Clara Flemming and Olo Wilkerson, with Mr. Tom Wilkerson, attended preaching secvice at’ Salem last Sabbath. By taking uo a consignment of neighborhood gossip we could im measurably prolong our letter. We will ask to be excused. We fully agree with “N. G. L.” in the sentiment expressed in his letter to The I edger. A court of law has al ready passed upon the case of George Hasty and it is time he was left to his fate. Mr. “L.” is a level-headed man, a forceful writer and one who never uses a particle of buncombe. His ap peal to public sentiment is enough for all right thinking people.

The Yadkin road from Salisbury seems smitten by the god of llMuck, and tri-weekly wrecks have marked its course for several days. There were four mishaps, though of no more serious consenuence than de- lavs, in eight days. Saturday even ing the Whltnev train was returning to Salisbury and was on the Salisbnrr side of New London, when the brakes dropped and tore up the track for W feet. The passengers took sunner at New London and were later tramp ferred to a special running down from Salisbury at midnight, five hours latie.
