A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Sectioa Wilkinsville, April 19-—Among “the eternal fitness of things” the clipping from the Beebe Times under tre cap- tian “A murderer’s last words,” which appeared in The Ledger of the 16th is entitled to a place. We have heard many speak of it as a most convincing argument against the le galized sale of intoxicating liquors. To all of which we say amen and amen. >Mr. W. R. Walker is finding ready sale for the products of his stock farm near Sunnyside, in this county. Butchers from the neighboring towns come with their wagons and appara tus for killing and cleaning beeves. The foreman, Mr. Wade Elmore, calls the cattle up and points out the ones to be killed and they shoot them down and by means of a tackle swing them up and clean them on the spot. The beef is hauled to a pair of plat form scales and weiged and a check given for the money. The beef is sold at 6 cents per pound. The butch er gets the hides also. When Mr. Elmore points out the beeves to be killed and thev are shot down he has nothing more to do with it but to weight tht beef after it is cleaned and collect the money. Within the last month or so he has sold $160 worth of pigs and small heeves. We made a trip to the fork of Paco- let and Broad rivers last Wednesday and took dinner with Mr. and Mrs. T. B. McCulloch. People in that sec tion are planting corn in well prepar ed ground. They haven’t planted much cotton seed yet. The recent cold snap scared them out. Fruit is generally killed or badly damaged by the cold weather. Gardens are back ward. Mrs. Jess Orr, one of The ledger’s patrons is working for wages with Mr. McCulloch. He is one of the best workers in the county, and the fact is he keeps Mr. McCulloch at work. The moment the clock- strikes one after dinner. Jess starts for bis mule and then to his plow and Mr. Me must follow or “play out." But Ben is a hustler too. Travis, Mr. McCulloch’s son, who got his foot badlv hurt by the accidental dis charge of a gun in tht earlv part of the year is able to walk op it and drop corn. Mr Will Vassey, another of lower Cherokee’s progressive and intelli gent farmers, is pushing hi& work with all the power he can command. He. too, farms on the Gall man place which is among the best farms in lower Cherokee. Mr. Vassey has for his lieutenant the venrable Sampson Moore, colored. Sampson is an old time slavery darkey. He was owned by a man in Fiairfield county and was in the prime of life during the war. When Sherman’s army came through that eection, in February. 1865, he was taken by Sherman’s troops who load ed him with muskets, cartridge box es. blankets and other paraphernalia of army equipments and put in the line of march. As he trudged along the soldiers would say: “Won’t he make a good soldier?” But that night he escaped from his captors and found his way back home bv the light of the burning houses along the route. When he reached the home of his master he found it reduced to ashes. We would be glad * to see the time when our people could in some substantial way recog- . nlze the services of those slaves who proved themselves loyal to their mas ters even to the end of the strife. Thev. too, like the old soldiers are now few in number, and in the ma jority of cases in nted of help. No doubt but that the way thev have been treated accounts Gn a measure) for the perfidv and degeneracy of the race. Mrs. Jessie Blackwell has had a protracted quilting going on at her home this week-. She is one of those kind of women spoken of in the thirty-first chapter of Proverbs, but We want our readers to understand that she takes it. after her mother. To John W. Alexander, Esq.. Miss Lizzie Moorehead and Miss Bonnie MoClunev we are indebted for lists of the soldiers who went from this part of Union count (then district) hope to hear from others before we hope o hear from others before we close our report, and turn it over tp the United Daughters of the Con federacy. In his letter Esquire Alexander says: “I send you a list of names from North Draytonville who parti cipated in the war between the States -'gardless of the command in which ^ they served. My object has been not to Klorify any particular commander but to lend a helping hand to those good women at Jonesville who. it seems to me have undertaken a Herculean task, as I understand it. In trying to preserve the names of the lowly as well as the great. Tf it will be the means of preserving Just one name I will feel myself repaid for no v effort." That’s the rlsfht spirit brother and comrade. Miss Bonnie McCluney acknowledges the help she got from comrade J. A. M. Estes, in making out her list which is a very satisfact ory one. Mrs. S. F. Estes, we are glad to sav is so much improved in health that she is able to attend to hex do mestic affairs. She has been sick for more than two months. We are pained to learn that Mrs. Rev. A. A. Jones, of Pacolet. is In a verv bad state of health and has been so for a long time Rev. A. A. Jones, though he has reached his four score years is ra- markabiy strong and active both in mind and body for one of his age. He preached at Clifton on Thursday night during Presbytery, from the text Mark 2:14 “And as he passed by he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sit ting at the receipt of custom, and he said unto him, ‘Follow me,’ and he arose and followed him." Wle are sorry to learn from the re port of Rev. Mr. Wardlaw, D. D., of Union, that Rev. B. G. Clifford. D. D., was an invalid and unable to attend Presbytery at Clifton. A worthy citizen of Clifton who was present when the electric car came in from Spartanburg and the Presbyters began to disembark and shake hands with their friends, said he believed the “Scotch Irish” was going to take the place, and sure enough they did. What do you think- about it now brother? Irespective of denominational ties Or affirmities we were invited to visit many of the homes of the mill oper atives while at Clifton. This we tried; to do. In our perombulations we dropped into the home of Mrs. Henry White, who said she was a Presby terian—‘born and reared in that church. Before she got through tell ing us her little boy, Master Hgnxy, aged about three years, brought us his catechism and she told us to jsee if he knew it. Before we had asked him half a dozen question all qf which he answered correctly, we told hqr that she and her husband would pa^ss the Presbyterian Gountlet. We had the pleasure of meeting our young friend Master John Falls McPherson, and introducing him to some of the ministers of Enoree Pres bytery. John is a great friend of ours. He is a descendant of the Mc Pherson family of this county and is always glad to see “Uncle Jim." We also had the pleasure of meet ing Prof. John R. Jefferies, of Gaff ney. who is teaching at Clifton, and to note that he is very popular with the people there. He invited your correspondent to dine with him at his hotel. * In a letter from Mr. J. W. Mullinax, of Troy, S. C.. we are reminded that his uncle, George S. Spears of Com pany F. 15th regiment, was captured at Chancellorsville. Va.. and d.> r ‘4j 1° prison at Point Lookout, Md.. in May or June of 1865. Thursday was the first anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake. Mr. Boyce Whisonant’s house at ^Vjlkinsville is nearing complelfion and will soon be ready for occupancy. A railroad through this section will be a great convenience to our oeole who have so much hauling and travel ing to do and we hope to see one built before long. Miss Bonnie McCluney’s school is preparing for the entertainment which will come off some time before long. They meet two nights each week to practice and thus no time is lost from their school studies. A good many fortst trees are ap parently dead from the effect of the recent cold spell. We are told that just across the river in York county onions were killed by the cold. . This is something unusual, if not unheacd of. Wo had a splendid rain last night. Mr. Willard Hemphill, of Gaffney, passed here today on his return from Ixickhart mills. We havtn’t yet been advised, but suppose the memorial exercises and decoration of the soldiers’ gravts at Salem will take place on Saturday the 11 of May. Don’t forget this, la dies. for “All the bright laurels thev fought to make bloom Fell to the earth when they went to the tomb. Give them the meed they have won in the past; Give them the honors their merits forecast; Give them the honor they won in the strife Give them the treasure which cost them their life. Cover them over—yes. cover them over,— Parent and husband and brother and lover: Crown in vour heart these heroes of ours. Bv covering their graves with beauti ful flowers. Cover the thousands that sleep far away,— In graves where their friends cannot find them today; Those who in mountain and hillside and dell Rest when they wearied and sleep when they fell.” J. L. 8.

STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION. Dates for Meeting Were not Changed Last Night. (Columbia State.) The executive committee of tb« State Press association met last night at the Columbia hotqj. there being present Messrs. E. H. Aull, William Banks. Augus Kohn, E. H. DeOamp and C. M. Galloway. The matter of the conflict of dates between the meeting of the State Press association and the Natioogl Editorial association wus discussed. It was decided that there be no changes made in present programme as there will be few to go from this State to the National Editorial asso ciation. The dates for the meeting in Char leston are June 12 to IS and the Na tional association meets June 9 to 15. President Aull was authorized to name four delegates from this to the National Editorial association. The matter of transportation for the trip to the Jamestown exposition South Carolina day was taken up and President Aull was authorized to pro ceed with his work on this Hnq. It Is probable that there will be a special train from Columbia to Norfolk The party may not be confined to news- aner workers alone. To Buy Land For Settlers. Charleston, April 20.—George Sher man. colonization promoter of Wis consin. is here for a conference with those interested in immigration, apd it is probable that a company may be organized to buy land for settling pur poses and the immigration project of South Carolina may yet be saved. In Mr. Gadsden’s recent report the scheme of land purchase and coloni zation was suggested as the only sure method of inducing iiranigratipn, and Mr. Sherman’s experience of 30 years would prove valuable in developing the idea and making it successful. Mayor Rhett and Mr. Gadsden had a conference with Mr. Sherman today and it is proable the immigration au thorities of the State and of the Squth may be interested in the scheme and large numbers of immigrants may yet be brought through Charleston to set tle in this and adjoining States. A Young Musician. (Charlotte Observer.) Master Howard Belue, of Blacks burg, S. C.. son of Mr. E. K. Belue, seems to be a musical genius. He and his father sojourned In the city yesterday and. while they were visit ing the Southern Manufacturs’ Club the youngster was asked to play on the club piano. The dexterity and effectiveness which he responded as tonished those who heard him and who declare that it was real music. The lad is 11 years old and had never played on a piano until a year and a half ago. when his father dis covered his aptitude for the art. Since then he has studied music un der a teacher in Blacksburg. He plays by ear and also by note. One who heard him yesterday said that he made the piano sound like a whole orchestra, so fully did he realize the possibilities of the instrument. He is a fine young fellow, quiet, reserved and good mannered. Evans M’Daniei Roughly Handled. Laurens. April 20.—A difficulty oc curred at the store of Mr. Evans Mc Daniel at McDaniel’s mill In this county yesterday between ex-Repre- sentative J. C. McDaniel and Ander son and Harley Tumblln. two young white men of the saint neighborhood. Mr. McDaniel was painfully but not very seriously hurt. The circumstances leading up to the trouble, from what your corres pondent can learn, are that thexe was a misunderstanding about the moving of a well-boring outfit. In discussing the matter one the Tumbllne Is said to have used insulting language to Mr. McDaniel, Who struck him with his fist, whereupon the other brother took a hand and the two used Mr. MlcDaniel in a very rough manner.

Pondfieid Paragraph*. Pondfleld, April 20.—Your "Uncle Gum” spent last Sunday, the 14th, with Mr. and Mrs. Aley Boyles, of the Corinth section. Mr. and Mrs. Boyles are perhaps the oldest couple in Cherokee county. Mr. Boyles is hale and hearty at the age of eighty- six. Mr. and Mrs. Boyles are both 9 perfect store house of knowledge in regard to the olden times. Mrs. Boyles was born and reared and spent her whole life in what Is now Cherokee county, while MY. Boy les was born in North Carolina but has spent about sixty-five years of his life in what is now Cherokee county. Our oldest citizens say that they have never seen so much cold weath er before durir^ April as we have had this April. A great many of our farmers are still waiting for warm weather lA which to plant their cotton seed, but we think the most of them have de cided to plant next week anyway. There will be a considerable increase in this section in the cotton acerage this year over that of last year. We don’t think that there is but one thing that will ever be able to induce our farmers to reduce their cotton acreage, and that is six or seven cents cotton, and very likely a fifteen million bale crop will put it there. It seems that our farmers have gotten it into their heads that the cotton as sociation can keep the price of cotton up to ten or eleven cents per pound regardless of the law of supply and demand, hut. Mr. Farmer, if you will just keep on increasing your cotton acreage, you will learn, to your sorrow, that all the associations in the world can’t keep the price of cotton u£» There is one way and one way only to keep the price of cotton up. and that Is to keep the production down to onlv equal the demand. We believe that the farmer should, and will eventually, control the price of his own products, but we fear that he win have several hard lessons to learn vet before he will ever be able to do so. H. P. Gumtree. Costly Discipline. (Harper’s Monthly.) A popular eastern doctor tells this story of a bright boy. another doctor’s son. who had reached the natural age of ten after an early career marked by many wild and mischievous prank-s. ' • His restless nature has made him something of a torment to his teach er at times, and one afternoon not long ago she kept him after the oth ers were dismissed and had a serious talk with him. Perhaps she was a lit tle afraid that her admonitions were falling on stony ground. Anyway, she finally said, "I certainly will have to ask vour father to come and see me.” “Don’t do it,” said the boy. The teacher thought she had made an impression. “Yes.” she repeated, “I must send for vour father.” “You better not,” said the boy. “Wfcv not?” said the teacher. “ ‘Cause he charges two dollars a visit.” said the scamp.
