Lee, ground Is to be broken In tne town of Union for the erection of a monument to the Confederate soldiers ef that county. The monument will be finished and unveiled in July next. This la a matter in which a great many of our Cherokee county neople are Interested, and to which we wish at this early day to call their atten tion. For one will be there (D V.) 1- loin the boys and take part in our bamble way in making It an occas ion of great rejoicing to the old "yets," and their children The cut r» resenting the monument as It will look when finished is a magnificent one It is a volume within Use f—an ideal reminder of the stormv days of the early sixties. Don’t forget the tim*. place nor occasion. We hope that ev^rv member of Camp Jefferies TJ C. V. will be present at the breab tag of the ground Preparatory to its •rection and the unveiling of the monument. Comrades, we owe it to the noble women of Union county, irhose persistent efforts to nernetu Ate the memory of the men who took part In that historic strug"’" which has at last been crowned with success Mrs (Rev.) B. G. Clifford Is the prime mover In this wonderful task, in which •he has had the hearty co-oneration •f others. Mr. B Frank Arthur, pres ident of the People’s Bank is to have Ehe honor of breaking the dirt, through ▼Irt ue of the fact that he contributed (he first offering for the monument. , Me purchased the handsome bouquet •f chryanthemumg upon which was finned the promise that its purchaser •hould have the hono- * throwing the frst shovel of dirt The monument Is !• he erected on Main street, nearly •pposlte the court house. It will be thirty two feet in height with a base •f 9x9 feet, costing $2,000. History has long since settled the fact that Union county did her full duty In that great struggle for South ^ «rn Independence. She sent her Grist, lier Gadburry. her McKisslck and her Wallace, with an almost innumerable company of as brave men as ever faced a cannon whose names we would like to have engraved on the marble shaft that Is to perpetuate tljelr memory. We applaud the following card, clip ped from the Union Times, which ad dresses Itself to our readers, espec tally those of the Union ••cutoff” of Cherokee county: To the People of Union County! Thro’ the kindness of the McNlel Marble Company, to whom has been given the contract for erecting tne Union County Confederate Monument, Mr. J. T Woods, an agent of the com pany will at once begin the canvass •f Union countv for contributions to the Monument Fund. It is earnestly desired that every person should make a contribution, large or small as he may be able, and so enter his name upon the list of contributors.

We w *re at Gaffney last Saturday end met many of our friends from different narts of the county. All, or most of them, reoort ~ short cotton eron. Some wheat is being sown in different, sections: this crop will by no means be as large as it ought to be; the area will be small. But generally the land will be put in good fix. Mr and Mrs Lowery Webber were at Salem yest Q rday. receiving the con gratulations of their many friends. Mr. Phillip I>owery. who has been with Moorehead Brothers, at Hickory Grove, for some time, has severed his connection with that firm. Mr. William Fowler went to Gaff ■ey last Saturday on business He is •till very weah, but able to be about * Mr. Robert Lemaster has put up a stock of goods and gone into the mer- a&ntile business at bis home. Mr. R. B. Lemaster is using his "buster” plow running up the cotton ■talks, thus preparing his lapd to re celve winter rains. He is a model farmer and citizen. If we have a rntn In Cherokee county who really likes to work, that man is "Dick” Lemaster. The North Pacolet Interdenomlna >4 tional Sunday School convention will meet at Sardis church on the fourth Sabbath In December. Mr W. J. Vaughn and his good daught o r. Miss Jennette with several P'wer Cherokeeans, were among the Ciffnev visitors last Saturday. This is the season of year for me teors. If one would take the trouble to sit un all night, one of the clear nights, and watch he would doubtless see some of these beauties of nature. The petition for an extra term of court to try Tom Harris for the mur der of Mrs. Hortencla Morgan, would have been signed generally by the peo ple of Lower Cherokee if presented to them, even though they dislike the ez >ense it will entail upon the county and the .trouble it will necessarily • ive our oeonle. They prefer the nec essary expense of an extra court to the disgrace of a lynching in the coun tv. The state of the public mind un der great excitement Is such aa to make revision of our criminal laws necessary. Too much red tape Is not th/> best under existing circumstances. If the machinery of our courts were such as to make it possible for a crlm Inal to nav the nenalty of his crime in forty eight hours after the commission of the deed it would, in a great meas ure. appease the nubile mind. Some thing like a drum-head court martial "muld meet the requirements of the case. Most of those whom we have re ported on the glcb list are well or much improved. There are no new cases that we know of. We find, after a hunt for a man to do so. that Mr Ernest Peeler of The Ledger office can beat us read ing our own handwrltin". For de ciphering hieroglyphics Ernest la an expert. Rev. R. T. Liston preached an able sermon to a large congregation at Sa lem yesterday. His subject was. “Our love made perfect1st John. 4:17. A collect on was taken up for "Home Missions ” and ten dollars was real ized. It is estimated that within the hounds of Enoree Presbytery there am a t least 35,000 people who have no church connection at all—a large part of whom are cotton mill people. The needs of the home mission committee meet this state of affairs Is very ur gent and all the churches are request to do what th,.y can. At the conclus on of the service the church resolved itself into a Impromptu congregational meeting and the following Preamble and resolutions were read and unani mously adopted: “Whereas It has pleased Almighty God. in the wise dispensation of His nrovldence to remove from our midst, laborer.

Mr*. Thelbert Goode, twenty years old. an unusually beautiful woman, committed suicide at Bedfor City yes terday. A few months ago she mar ried a dissipated man intending to re form him. Her suicide tells th~ re sult. This Is an experiment women have tried generation after generation. Whv they do it is a mystery to men and probably to the women them selves The odds against success are about nineteen to one. The average man would not stake a week’s salarv at even money where he had but one chance In twenty to win. The aver ag^ woman takes her life, honor and personal Jiappiness and the future of hp»’ prospective children on such a proposition and continues to do it somewhere every day of the year. Now - then it happens that a woman with unusual strength of haructer. courage and common sense does bv infinite pains and natience. tireless love and labor succeed in straightening out a scapegrace, arous ing and sustaining his manhood and character and making a man o f him. but anv woman who undertakes a job 1 ke that assumes a fearful risk and invites ruin and misery. The time for a man to reform who asks p woman to marry hi n is before marriage, not after. If he cannot reform himself with the hea) ot bis sweetheart’s influence and all the -ear hopes for the future he should have in such circumstances he has no right to ask any woman to reform him as a wife. Made Happy for Life. Great happiness came into the home of S. C. Blair, school superintendent, at St Albans, W. Va., when his little daughter was restored from the dread ful complaint he names. He says: “My little daughter had St. Vitus’ Danoe, which yielded to no treat ment but grew steadily worse until as a last resort we tried Electric Bit ters; and I rejoice to say, three bot tles effected a complete cure ” Quick sure cure for nervous weaknesses, impoverished blood and malaria.

He took the days and Officer Bert Hallman con , ducted him to the chaingang which Is now in oT-eration in the Mt. Paran section of Cherokee townshin. where he will do road duty for thirty days.

They are buy ing It here from Spartanburg and Union and from North Carolina You may say that The Ledger Is respon sible for some of this because of Its accurate and prompt report of the selling price.” Wednesday the price went down to 10:80, but we are authorized to say that 11 cents will be paid for cotton today. First Baptist Church Note*. Last Sabbath was rally dav In the Sabbath school and the exercises took un the entire morning. There was a primary and Junior class drill on the books of the Bible— the Commandments, the Apostles, the Beautitudes and the 23rd Psalm— which was a fine Illustration of the work being done In the school. There was also a motion exercise by the primary class which was given In con nection with the Lord’s prayer. All the songs were special and were good, but the solo by Marie Osborne and chrous by some primary children was especially attractive. Rev. J. D Moore State Sunday school secretary, spoke for twenty minutes to the school on Enthusiasm. The class attendance was between 250 and 300 and the offering was good. There was a number of parents and friends present to enjoy the exercises. At 11 o clock Rev. E M. Poteat. of Furman, carried the exercises along a kindred line of thought and gave a receiving comment on the story of Samuel, on the “Boy who started right,” which was perfectly charming. Then he spoke for a short time on God’s being In the world and yet un known by the world. The choir rendered some verv sweet music both morning and evening. At the night service Dr. Poteat preached, his subject being "Seeking the king dom ” It was a very clear and help ful presentation of the truth. So closed a good day of jov and spiritual helpfulness which was en '"ved by large congegations. Next Sabbath Dr Simms expects to fl' 1 his pulpit as usual and all are in vited. A STAR COURSE.
