MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. WilLiusville, Nov. 30.—The man j who novei looks upward to behold the* beauty of nature and things to! which a higher and nobler sen e of i duty, tends to elevate him is a mis- j en>Me failure in all that is promo-j live of happiness, either in this life i < r that which is to come Abraham | Lincoln said: “Young men, look up; j Ai n high.” No man. whatever his at il ty or his inclination hits above | his aim. Tis true our enthusiasm i often gets the better of our judg- | went and we fly off at a tangent. The man with the muck rake nev er looks tip to see the crown of the j celestial beauty in the hands of the ministering angel, and it he did he wouldn’t make the exchange for the world is his heaven and the tbines of earth his god The hog always loo’'- downward and the meanest tilings on earth are those ui>on which he feasts hnf gluttony. So with the man with the muck rake, the traw. slick' trash and dust of ♦h f>",rth are t':e r.’itn total of his gatherings The p-offered crown being wholly ignored departs from the men with the muck rake who in bis great anxi>*tv to rake uu the dol lars nears the awful precipice over which his course carries him to ruin, r.xing the eyes on the much-rake and rejecting the crown is what makes life miserable and death dreadful, in seeking pleasure or fo lowing the customs and fashions of the day our eyes may be kept downward and away from the crown. In seeking honor and reputation the ■nick rake becomes a serious im pediment. if we follow the straws •f popular applause and ephemeral praise, the sticks of public opinion and the dust of criticism, we are sure to get our eve« on the muck rake instead of the crown. When we look upon the blue mid sight concave bedecked with the ten thousand orbs that twinkle in tb" ! - far off homes, our thoughts go up through nature to miture’s God. Napoleon, while surrounded by a army officers, who were question among them- whether or not there was asked what he The great military his eyes heaven- nal to do. Its one of the views of Satan to present “a bold frona” and shows a stolid indifference in the face of imminent danger. We recall what was told us by eye witnesses about Phineas H. Johnson to whom we referred iec idertally in a recent letter. He was arrested on suspi cion the next day at to.' tho murder of Mary Ann ll/itt. and while cu ins way to jail in passing Bethlehem church, when they were dicing the grnw of his victim he was whist ling "s if on his way to a country frolic. In less than four months he | called upon the then clerk of court i 1. G. McKissick, to write his confes- ' sion of the crime.

A neighbor said to Mrs J. L. S. that she got so lonesome she couldn’t stay at home. The lat »er replied that she never got lone some if she had any work to do. Poor creature, she always has company then. A man generally does his courting before he gets married, hut the wo man afterwards in many cases. Its sickening too. Mrs. Bailey, mother of Mrs. W. J. Pridmore, died at the home of the latter last Sabbath night and was buried at Pacolet Tuesday. Mr. Bailey, her husband, is lying criti cally ili at the home of his daughter, Mrs. \V r . J. Pridmore. They are, both of them, very old people and their family have the sympathies of this entire community. They are the fa. ther and mother of Rev. J. T. Bailey of Cow pens. The gins in this community are crowded with work. This is the last of their cotton crop says a number of farmers. Mr. VV. K Watkins’ hands are running his shredder and putting up * lot of stock food for the winter nse. Amanda Byers, an old colored wo man, died at her home on Mr. Frank McCluney’s place last Monday. She was an old time slavery woman an 1 the property of the Byers family and has lived in this neighborhood ever since freedom. The cotton wagons have been run ■ ing almost night and day since the price of cotton lias reached eleven eenL.. Dr I,. K. Black was in lids section last Wednesday on professional bus iness. He is now treating Rufus Estes, who has been sick for a long time. Mr. W C. Kirby, whose illenss lias keen so often reported in this cor respoadence is improving some, though he is still suffering from ma larial trouble. His foot, Dr. Black says Is about well. We have had some fine weather for farm work this week and it nas generally been made good use of. Mr. Morgan Horton, of Bullocks Creek, who went to the upper part •f this county last week, with iw’o €ne mules to sell, returned Monday last without making any sales Hi- says he could have traded them but he wanted to sell. Mr. J. L,. Walker, our efficient Superintendent of Education Is sow ing wheat. He sowed some early and has a good stand. Mr. Walker 1° a practical farmer and devotes all his snare time to his farm. He's a hustler. Some people express great sur prise at Torn Harris’, alias Ton. Cbildres, for going to Gaffney and remaining there until he was arrest ed for the murder of Mrs. Morgan. That’s nothing for a hardened crimi- is on th< ir track might he called i They went a mystery tiro In his confession commenced Johnson said that after accomnlish ing her ruin he tried several times and ways "to put her away." but j nothing succeeded until lie crent up , to her house under the cover of dark- j ness, leveled his g'in at her while , she was sitting stringing beans, j with her little children, of whom he was the reputed father, playing around her. At the crack of the gun she sank down in her chair, where she was found in a sitting position next morning, cold and life less.Phineas A. Johnson w - as a man of some ability and means, but he made a had use of them. He main tuned a sangfroid during his trial that marked the charcter of the llend he was. It never deserted him until that grand old man Judge O’Neal in passing the sentence of death summed up the consequences of his misspent life and pointed out the enormity of his crime. There is one thing connected with this case of Phineas Johson that we wish to recal even at the risk- of being called “an old fogy." The murder was com mitted in the latter part of August or the first of September. The case was tried in October, later by the Supreme court which affirmed the judgment of the court below and the sentence was carried out without a hitch or a moment’s delay. In those (lavs there were no lynchings. nor was there any excuse for them. In about five months after the murder the case had taken the reg ular course of legal proceedings and the p-nalty paid. There was no hurrying up, neither were dilatory motions allowed to interfere with the course of justice. Thanksgiving day yesterday was observed as it usually is by people in the country. People who disre gard the proclamation from Mount Si- are not apt to pay attention to one from Washington or Colum bia. Rev. T. F. Boozer preached at Salem yesterday. His text was Phil 1:4. Rejoice in the Lord al- way: and again I say rejoice. A col lection was taken up for Thornwell Orphanage and $2 92 realized. The Hopewell Sunday School gave $125, making a total monev collection o^j with $1 17. The quilt sent by the Salem school was a nice one. J. S. S. Last Thursday a crowd of negroes gathered at Luther Sarratt s in the Northern section of this county, the occasion being a shooting match. During the day some of the party engaged in a game known among 'ke colored sporting fraternity as "skin.” Stack Wilson and Aden Morris were said to be participants in this game. In the afternoon they went to No an Hoffer’s house, on Mr. J. J Magness place. A row started between Stack Wilson and Allen Morris and they ordered out of Hoppers house, out into the yard and to fi ,r ht when Vurk y Wilson, a brother of Stack’s shot Morris from behind Morris died al most instantly. Both the Wilsons took leg bail. Friday special Depu ty Barney Lipscomb arrested Stack Wi son n ar Sharon church, Just across the North Carolina line. He is being held as an accessory to the killing of Morris. Vurley Wilson has not yet been captured. Coroner Vinesett empanelled a jury of Inquest Tuesday night and held an inquest Tuesday night and r ndered was in accordance with the facts stated above. SHORT NEWS ITEMS OF LOCAL INTEREST.
