In view of the universal comment in this Statp induced by the threats of Commissioner Black to shoot Mr. Fra zier Lyon, of the dispensary investi-! Katins committee, because the latter! is really* investiKatir^ the workings of that Institution, anything relating to Mr. Lyon is interesting reading. If; we mistake not Mr. Lyon is from Ab beville county. Tim Press and Banner, published in Abbeville, is an advocate of the dispensary, therefore what it say? concerning Investigator Lyon cannot be termed as being prejudiced in his favor. The Press and Banner says: Mr. Lyon has been zealous In dis charging his duty. Such is his nature. Those who know him well, know that his purpose to to be fair. No man at home bears a better reputation for integrity. It is manifestly unjust to censure Mr. Lyon for the faithful per formance of a duty laid on him by the people through the Legislature. He has discharged and is discharging a public duty so faithfully that he de serves the well done of all the people. His work is doubly deserving because of its laborious and disagreeable feat ures. We believe this is truly and well said. Mr. Lyon's course all through this matter has been such as to com mend him to those who believe in honesty and fair play. The duty must bp painful and unpleasant, but he has been entrusted with the work and it is his duty to do it the best he can. W e do not know this man Black, but whoever he may be we do not hesi tate to say that if his character is pure and spotless he need fear no in vestigating committee on earth or in heaven. He strikes us. however, as having been very imprudent when he attacks a public officer for discharg ing his duty. Certain it is that he has b- this act alone laid himself open to suspicion. May we ask this question? If Mr. Black’s official life is pure what reason has he to object to it being in vestigated? Rather, if it be pure and there be any suspicion resting upon it that it be investigated and the sus picion eradicated. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The thanks of the people of the city are due the mayor and council for beautifying the park. It does one’s heart good to see the nurses and children enjoying themselves in this beautiful spot. * • • Dr. E. P. Davis, of Greenville, who win deliver the anauai address to the public schools of the city in the Star Theatre today at 10 o’clock, is one of the ablest men in the South. Those who tail to hear him will miss an in tellectual treat. * * * J do not say it with the idea of flattery, but In all sincerity, that there is ro grander and nobler calling than that of teaching, provided, of course, the teaching is along proper lines. And yet it is a sad commentary that the compensation for such work is 5b very small that few really competent versons care to engage in it. We are advocates of more teaching and bet ter teachicng, and better pay for the teachicng. * * * t We would not overlook the work of Prof. R.*C. Campbell, the principal of the colored graded schocol. The ne gro is an apt scholar. He loves to learn and Prof. Campbell is doing his ^art to elevate and uplift the race. But Prof. Campbell is no hifalutin ne gro. He possesses common sense, is a worker and believes in making ev erybody about him work. A story is told of him which illustrates his com mon sense. Several years ago there was considerable uneasiness in Gaff ney concerning the small pox. The au thorities advised vaccination and Anal ly made it compulsory. The darkies all dreaded the idea of being vaccinat ed and many refused. Prof. Campbell had difficulty in getting his scholars to obey the order. Finally he made arrangements with a doctor to come to the school house on a certain day and to bring along a liberal supply of points. Just before the hour to dis miss the school arrived the Professor sent a boy around to close up the win dows and make them fast and then he had the doors locked and in a few minutes the doctor arrived. In about a week there were more little darkies with sore arms than ever before at one time in the history of Gaffney. One old disgruntled black mammy went to the Professor to remonstrate with him for his high-handed methods and. it is said, he sent for a nollce- man and had her vaccinated also. Professor Campbell is all to the good. OUR WILKINSVILLE LETTER. On account of the commencement at Limestone College and the closing of the graded schools of the city, a large number of visitors have been with us this week. Gaffney throws wide her portals on these occasions, and we wish they would come pftener. * * *' If there are any skeptics in. regard to the value of real estate in Chero kee county let them examine the rec ords and see the considerations named in some of the recent transact ions on the records in the clerk’s of fice. It will cause the “doubting Thomases’’ to open their eyes. « • • The new depot is nearing complet ion. and when finished will be a cred it to the Southern Railway and to th'e citv. The grounds are being beauti fied and improved. We were a long time getting the building, but it really looks as if the railroad people are trying to make amends for their long delay. • • • We invite you to read the address of Prof. James Howard Gore, B. S., Ph. D., delivered at Limestone College Wednesday evening, which is print ed in full in this issue. We not only invite you to read it but we beg that you study it. If you will heed the les son taught therein you cannot help but be a better man or woman for so doing. Again the people of Gaffney are indebted to Dr. Lodge for bring ing such a learned scholar into our midst. • * • \ This has been a great week with the educational interests of Gaffney. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday have been distinctively Limestone days. This morning the closing exer cises of the city graded schools take place in the Star Theatre. The schol astic year with both schools has been gratifyingly successful to both teach er and pupil, and now that vacation time has come they are entitled to a rest. We trust they may enjoy the respite from labor and that when the vacation is over that they will resume their labors with renewed zeal. We Ravenna Reading. Ravenna, May 28.—Miss Lillie May Goforth, one of our popular young la dies, is spending a few days in GalT- nev visiting her relatives and friends. Mrs. C. E. Kitchens has returned from a pleasant trip to Spartanburg where shp visited her son. Mr. J. T. Kitchens. Mrs. Charles Smith, of Goucher, was a visitor in the teacher’s meeting wfcich met here last Friday evening. Sheriff W. W. Thomas, of Gaffney, was an appreciated visitor here last Wednesday. He was carrying a boy he had arrested at White Plains to Gaffney to lodge him in jail for marrying a very young girl whose parents had him arrested. Mr. W, C. Goforth, of Pacolet. spent last Saturday here with his parents. Mr. and Mrs. K. R. Goforth. Mrs. Carrie Burgess is spending a week at Pacolet with her daughter, Mrs. J. C. Brown, who is quite sick, but not serious, we are glad ki say. Mr. B. F. Brown went down to Buf falo last Saturday to play a game of ball with the Pacolet teanr. but on ac count of a wreck did not get back un til Sunday evening. Mr. J. C. Bostic made a business trip to Spartanburg last Tuesday. What has become of “Blue Eyes?’’ Will not Mr. “J. L. S.” answer this question for us? Goucher has decided to have chil drens’ day, and as the programs have arrived, practicing will begin at once. It seems the date has not yet been settled on. but your correspondent will report later the date, with per haps the program. We expect a big time, for Goucher is well noted for her “big times.” big dinners and ex cellent people. Our farmers who have been hold ing their cotton for higher prices, have been selling part of it. as it seems likely to continue o decline in price. Owing to the rain Sunday evening, our Sunday school was entirely dis banded. Several of the boys called on some of the young ladies Sunday evening and had a very pleasant time. “Uncle Dock” Shippy, a highly re spected colored man, died here last Saturday and was buried at Knuckle’s Chappel Sunday afternoon, where a large crowd of relatives and friends met to pay their last respects to him. “Uncle Dock” was over eighty years old. and leaves a wife, forty-four children and 107 grand and great- grand children,who mourn his death He was known by some as “Big Dock,’ but he was a type of the color ed race which is far superior to many of his race of the present date. He had many friends among the white people, as well as being a model for his race. Rev. Bates conducted the funeral exercises, after which the remains were lowered to their last resting place. Farmers are somewhat backward now, and General Green seems to be marching his armv to the front, but as soon as Old Sol gets his work into shape, we’ll be ready for the battle. C The “Sage of Etta Jane” Write* In terestingly of Lower Cherokee. Wilkinsville, May 28.—Rev. R. T. Liston preached at Salem yesterday to a large congregation in the morn ing from Psalm 97:1. “The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice.” The afternoon service was not so well at tended while he preached a very able sermon from the Beatitudes, Matthew 5:3-11. Part of the church session, and many of the members are seriously considering the propriety of having two services, and the consequence may be the discontinuance of one of them. Which, for obious reasons we think would be eminently proper. In connection with the morning ser vice. and as part of it. Mr. and Mrs. John J. Robinson were received by letter from the Hickory Grove church. Mrs. Mildred McDaniel was dismissed by letter to join the Hickory Grove A. R. Presbyterian church. Messrs. Jno. J. Robinson and Martin Mitchell were elected deacons, and Sam J. Strain and J. W. Smarr were ordained elders of Salem church. The newly elected deacons will be installed at the next meeting—fourth Sabbath in June. Rev. Mr. Liston is making many frierr’s amongst the people of lower Cherokee und Western York, and if nre«ent appearances are not mislead ing. he will be able to do a good work here—not only for his own but for other churches. Mr. and Mrs. H. B. McDaniel and children, of Hickory Grove, came over on a visit Saturday and attended preaching at Salem yesterday. The Mount Vernon Sunday school had a picnic last Saturday and a large congregation attended. They had a nice time, so we understand. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Brewington, (one of our newly married couple) attended preaching at Salem yesterday. Their friends were glad to meet and con gratulate them. Dr. Chess Leech, who has been treating Mr. W. G. Fowler during his nresent sickness, says the fever is broken and he thinks the patient is in a fair way to recovery. Mr. Joe Mitchell was reported much better yesterday, though he is still seriously ill. Mr. J. T. Bigham, of Sharon, is spending a few days with his daugh ter. Mrs. T. J. Estes, and faimly. Miss Grace Whisonant. who has been teaching at Kershaw, returned to her home at Wilkinsville last week to spend her vacation. Miss Fay Whisonant. a pupil, and Miss Mary McCullough, who has been teaching at Linwood High School, will come home this week to spend vacation with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Whisonant. at Wilkins ville. Mr. Sam J. Strain is planting peas this a. m. A large crop of them will be sown now that the ground is in good order. In reporting the proceedings of Miss Clara Flemming’s school the types made us say Wilkinsville instead of Wilkerson school house. Mr. John McKown, of Smith’s Ford, is suffering with rheumatism with which he has been afflicted since the 15th of last December. He travels with great pain now. Messrs. Garner, Goforth & Com pany have got the Thomson mill to running again. Mr. James G. Garner and Mr. F. A. Goforth went to Gaffney today on business. Mrs. J. L. S. is getting her first mess qf Irish potatoes this a. m. She would not tackle them during the dry spell of weather. Mrs. Jessie Blackwell is spending today with her sister. Miss Ethel Strain. Mr. Jeff Estes spent last night with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. M. Es tes. The rain yesterday caught the peo ple returning from meeting and some got good wet. Misses Bessie Moorebead and Lot tie Inman were at Salem yesterday. Mr. Sam Strain entertained a few of bis friends last Saturday night witfi m cream which he is an expert maker of. Mrs. Henry W. Thomson, of Spartan burg, who is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dock Howell, of Hopewell, .was among her friends at Salem yes terday. We notice that our over-the-river neighbors about Blacksburg and vici nity, expect to offer candidates for the various offices to be filled during the coming primary election. That is right, Cherokee township has not had its full quota of the offices and every thing being equal in the men, we think they should have a showing and believe they will get it. Bring out your men gentlemen,.and your rights will be considered by the voters on this side of the river—no doubt of that. We know you have as good men as are in the county (or the State for that matter) and we are not sel fish by any means. If he is not mistaken your corres pondent was one of the first (if not the first) to suggest that the county build a bridge across Broad river for your convenience in getting to your county seat to pay yours taxes and perform other duties imposed upon you as its lawful citizens. We have no fight against Gaffney or its citizens, for sonip of the best friends we have live within that town. But we do think when everything is equal the remote sections of the coun tv should be represented among the office-holding fraternity. We are not one of those envious creatures who think Gaffney wants everything wheth er it belongs to it or not, for such is not the case in our judgment. A man in this county who is in the race for an office this season, at one time bantered Ben McCullough to eat oysters with the understanding that if he didn’t eat the most he would pay for the “set up.” If he did, Mr. Mc Cullough was to pay for it. He finally backed out. Mr. McCullough says if he will come up and carry out his pro position he will doubtless make a bet ter race, and if he don’t, he will at least get all the oysters he wants to eat at one time. Mr. McCullough says for him to name the time and place and he will be on hand to carry out his part of the agreement. In a few days with warm sunshine and good health the farmers will be in good shape again. They will have but little of the Mav grass to contend with this year and cotton is already chopped to a stand. The plows can do most of the work now. A colored man, Mace Lee^h. got his house and most of his funiture burned last Friday night. He lived on Esn. George C. Leech’s place near Hickory Grove. The fruit crop will not be so boun tiful as at one time we thought it would. The cold weather lately did some damage to it. A young man of this section lost his girl last week. She married the other fellow. Some one has proposed to take a vote for the most popular young lady of Cherokee county. Bring out your candidates, we are ready to vote. If we haven’t a system of wireless telegraphy we have what answers about the same purpose. Mr. F. A. Goforth has the finest field of wheat we have seen this season. Mr. W. C. Kirby, one of our best farmers, is harrowing his corn. His land and crob shows the effect of good> sensible farming. A lot of the Gilky creek bottoms will have to be planted over. The corn has rotted in the ground. The welcome rain came last Satur day evening and everything looks much revived this a. m. Farmers were never in better shape for it. In some sections we learn that the rain was quite heavy and washed the ground badly. Mr. Lowery Webber was with his best girl Sunday. We understand that the lands up »fhe creek about Mr. Tom Wood’s was terribly washed by the rain last Sat urday. J. L. S. Salem Church Notes. Messrs. James Smarr and Samuel Strain were ordained and installed as elders of Salem church last Monday. Mr. .1. J. J. Robinson an dMr. Mar tin Mitchell were elected to the office of deacons. Mr. J. J. J. Robinson and wife were received by letter from the Hickory Grove church. HONOR TO PROF. GRIFFITH. The Griffith Literary Society Present ed With HI* Portrait. The exercises at Limestone College on Monday evening were peculiarly impressive, the occa ion being the presentation of a Handsomely finished painting of Prof. H. P. Griffith, the senior professor of the college, to the Griffith Literary Society at their an imal public meeting. The beautiful portrait was the work of Miss Lans- dell. the head of the art department of the college, and was the subject of many complimentary references. The presentation was mane bv Dr. Lodge in behalf of the f’ollege, and in glow ing and elegant speech he met the re- nulraments of the occasion. His lov ing references to the distinguished professor brought forth frequent ap plause from the immense audience, who were clearly as much In love with the grand old man, who has don^ so much for Limestone and Gaffney, as the earnest speaker. Dr. Lodge paid glowing tribute to Professor Grif fith, referring to his extended labors in behalf of Limestone, which have been faithful and continuous for over twenty-five years. Prof. Griffith took charge of the institution just after the great struggle between the States and brought it steadily and surely from the spirit of lethargy into which it had been forced to the glorious suc cess it now achieves. The painting was unveiled by Masters H. P. and Torn Griffith, little gnand-sbns of the venerable educator, and when the loved features burst into view the au dience gave vent to long and continu ous applause, relieving their pent-up feelings which had reached a high point during the exercises and the beautiful talk presenting the appre ciated gift.
