MOVEMENTS OF "HE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. W’Jlliinsvillf', July 9.—The hoy who hag a good mother is not very apt to get far wrong in the raising. We have observed this in the history of great men as well as those around us. When we see one wayward we can tell that the maternal influence is not what it ought to be, or else It w’as misdirected. We don’t lay this rule down as an Infallible one, but one that in nine times out of ten can be relied upon for its correctness. We often hear parents, and espe cially mothers, say: “I have tried to raise my boy (or girl) right.” Solo mon don’t say one word about trying. ; He says. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from It. Foolish ness is bound in the heart of a child, \ but the rod of correction shall drive It far from his.” Again. “Wlthold no correction from the child, for if thou beatest him with the rod. he shal] not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod. and shalt deliver his soul from hell.” Oh. says a foolish mother. “The rod I s relic of barbarism.” It’s well that it is. But it’s the most potent agent when needed and properly used to enforce law and order in the home. Showing and reasoning with children when their reasoning facul ties are improperly developed is the height of folly. As the twig is bent so the tree is inclined. Rev. Alexander Proudflt, one of the greatest divines that ever occupied an American or English pulpit said In one of his sermons along this line: “There is scarcely any part of their conduct in which parents so gen erally and mournfully err as in the correction of their children. The rod is rarely taken up by them ex cept when they are under the in fluence of angry passion. They then chastise their children rather as merely animals than rational beings who ar<‘ 10 be reclaimed by rational methods The child under such Tea’ment i<i induced to believe that i Y. r ‘ cbaF figment wa= admi: istered ratb^r lo gratify ; a vindicntlvr snirit than to nromotr- its temporal or fpirHua! inferest?. an d the con?e- quenroc uro (Mv-n dopl orable in the “xiremc " Bui So lomon wa •s an old fogy and ail hf ~ r < vf L out of da’e In those ♦ImcF of progress and enlightenment a a Form* mav think. “T'ncle Sill” c ays some children are raised. They have only been pulled up by the ears. It appears fha- way. sure enough. Miss Hettie Bailey and Misses Sweetie and Lula Gamer of Pinck ney. and Miss Norrle Arrowood. of Hopewell were among »he celebrants at Mr Ben McCulloch’s on the 4th. A few cotton blooms are being re ported. The cotton crop Is at least fif-eejj days behind both in age and size The July flies have begun to sing and we heard ’he first katydid last night. Mr and Mrs Asa Blackwell ex- pec* to take a trip to Chester county the last ,f this or of next month. They expect to visit relatives at Cornwells, Blackstock* and Winns- boro before they return. Mr. Jeff Estes, of Hopewell, attend ed the celebration of ’he Fourth at Gaffney Mr Yemoii Millwood was at Gaff ney on ’he Fourth with the cele brants. Mr an ( l Mrs Charley Foster wen' visiting on the York side Saturday. We have already called attention to the condition of he banisters on ’he Thomson mil] bridg • which nave for »ome time been needing repair. Mr. j G Garner will fix them up at his own expense and risk the county paying him. Mr Garner is a public spirited man and a competent work man Mr Garner has plowed his cot ton four times and expects to plow it rnon He has “laid by” some of his corn. He has a fine crop on the mill plac*- of both corn and cotton. Crops have been doing very well where they have been properly work ed since the rain. Mr. h. B. McDaniel and Mr. John Childers, of Hickory Grove, were on this side of the river last Saturday on business. Farmers who have to stop at this time of year to “rest up” when their crops are so much in need of work were simply "horn tired.” and we have a great many of them, too. The American soldiery (if reports are true) are spoiling for a fight. It’s a great pity they hadn’t been in the vicinity of Hampton Roads and Nor folk forty odd years ago when they could have had plenty of opportunity to have exploited themselves. It’s fine fun for some people to ride about at government expense to make fools and asses of themselves. If they had been of that class who have to go to ’be fl*-ld to work for an honest living those disgraceful scenes re ported at Norfolk, would never have taken place. We are glad to learn through Col Thompson that the South Carolina troops were not in it ag first reported they were. That was a significant cartoon got ten out by The State newspaper on Friday 5th inst. “Birds of a feather flock together.” Three hungry loob- ing buzzards perched on a limb labelled, criminal, pistol “toter" and coward respectively. It’s a well con ceived idea. Bully for The State and its cartoonist. One of the most disgraceful, low down, dirty, cowardly acts a young white man could bo guilty of Is re ported as happening at a so-called picnic at Howell’s ferry a few weeks ago In which Mr. R. M. Whitesides, a highly respected old gentleman who wag merely passing and attending to his own business, was insulted. Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey Is at the bottom of it all. Shame, oh shame on the manhood of South Carolina. If public sentiment don’t rise In Its might and frown down all such pro ceedings then the peace of the coun- try Is forever gone. What can a young man, or what nan a community promise itself s 0 long as such things go unchecked. Communities, like j individuals, never ris e above their moral standards. i Rev. C. M. Teal preached at Abingdon Creek church last Sabbath. The church elected four new deacons, Messrs. Lowery Webber, Thomas Millwood. Gist Reynolds and Hamp Bratton. They will be installed at the next meeting which is expected to embrace the first Sabbath in Au gust. The weather for the last few days ; has been very warm and crops are j growing finely. Farmers have a good deal of grass to kill yet if their crops get justice. Mr. W. R. Walker made a short stop at his Sunnyside farm last week. T>r. Hood removed the splints from Mrs. Eliza Foster’s log last Saturday and the limb is doing very well Mr. T. J. Estes has some corn planted on the Williamson plan. Mr .1. 1,. Walker also has a fine piece planted on the same plan. Mr. John A. M. Estes has been having chills lately and Dr Rlaok was called to see him last Sabbath. Mr. John Foster, who has been in disposed. went to consult Dr. Hood yetserday. He is troubled with an old chronic disease In which his whole system is sympathizing His friends entertain no hope for his re covery. Mr. and Mrs j. n Strain and family spent Saturday night with us. Mr. John R Kennedy, who has for a long time been in bad health, was at Abingdon Creek church last Sab bath. Farm hands and animals have kept our well bucket busy since the hot weather set in. We have the best water in lower Cherokee and plenty of it, too Mr. Sam J. Strain is complaining of feeling unwell with a giddiness In hi head. He is still up and going From the intense heat we look for a number of sunstrokes where people are exposed to 1'. At 4:30 o’clock p. m yesterday the thermometer stood at degrees in the shade J. L S LUKE CHILDERS ACQUITTED. Not Guilty of the Murde r of J. F. Farmer. Yesterday’s Spartanburg Herald contained the following account of the trial of Luke Childers for the murder of James Farmer, of this place: “The Jury in the court of general sessions yesterday returned a ver dict of ‘not guilty,’ in the case of the i State vs. Luke Childers for the mur der of J. F. Farmer, of Gaffney. There w’as a great deal of interest shown in this case. It wdll be remem bered that on the third day of last , January Luke Childers got some ci der for four men, among whom was J. F. Farmer, of Gaffney. They drank j the ‘stuff’ and were made sick. Farm er was taken sick at noon on Mon day and lingered until Wednesday morning, when he died. It was clalm- . ed that Childers put some poison in the liquor, and he was arrested on th e charge of murder. Scoggins a man from North Carolina, w-ho was j in the company that drank the Chil ders cider, said on the stand that about ten years ago he took by mis take some wood alcohol. He had a i bottle of whiskey on his person, how ever, and as soon he realized his mistake he drank the wiskey and counteracted th e effects of the alco hol, otherwise he would have been a dead man. As soon as he drank the ‘stuff’ that f’hilders got for them in January while they were here in Spartanburg, he recognized it to be the sam e poison that he had accident ally taken in the Tar Heel State’ ten years before. Farmer was the only one that the Childers stuff acted fa tally on. He drank it in Spartan burg Monday morning and on Wed nesday morning he died in the wagon <-ri route home. “Dr Sims testified that if the cider contained any poison he knew any thing about Farmer would not have lingered from its effects from Mon day until Wednesday. “Messrs. McGown and Sims repre- s* nted the defendant. After the ad journment of court one juror remark ed to the reporter that it was a great speech that Mr McGowan made. Among other things, Mr. McGowan said; The price of blind tiger liquor is so high in Spartanburg that a farmer cannot afford to purchase it unless he has the price of a bale of cotton in his pocket.’ “After the court adjourned a gen tleman said to the reporter that Childers told him that what the men drank was peach extract; ’hat he tool? the money and went to Crutch- field-Tolleson & Co’s, store and bought it. The solicitor himself said that the- Sta’e did not have evidence enough to make out a strong case against Childers. The defense ar gued that Farmer’s death was caused by what he ate. It is claimed that Farmer and the crowd ate fried cab bage and other food stuff equally un known to civilization. Mr. Mc Gowan said in his speech that fried cabbage was enough to kill a civiliz ed man in ten minutes.” SHORT NEWS ITEMS OF LOCXl INTEREST. EVENT* IN GAFFNEY AND CHER OKEE.

(Carolina Spartan.) Gaffney celebrated the fj^iyth of July in hilarious style. They bad all sorts of funny games and sports and fully 3.000 peopl e enjoyed the day. Col. Jno. Gary Evans made the special address and reports gay It was “a rattling good one.” He is in love with the Cherokee people, and especially with the ladies. As he is a married man we do not like to re port what he said about the pretty girls. The Ledger’s Faithful Helper Passed Away Wednesday, Henry Lipscomb is dead. To many this will only mean that a good ne- 'jro and one highly thought of and respected by the white people of Gaffney has gone to his reward. But jo The Ledger it means much more than that. It mean- that every em ployee of The ledger in all its de partments are deeply affected by his death and will mourn for him. Henry would have been thirty-eight years old had he lived until the fifteenth day of this month. For ten years he had been a faithful employee of The ly-dger and no better worker or more industrious person could be found in his race. His illness was short, he working un’il Saturday when he was taken seriously 111 On Wednesday about five o’clock in the afternoon he passed away. This death is the fir-t t 0 oectir in Tim Ledger family. Of the many who have worked here many are elsewhere and ^<-v<-ral are here now and have been for the irr.-ater part of The ledger s ex istence. Henry is first to pass the Great Divide. He was an industrious negro and leaves his affairs in a suc cessful state, a singular thing for the average colored man. Many in Gaffney and Cherokee will miss Henry. He had made his borne here all bis life and no more highly re spected colored man has ever lived in the county. The funeral services were held yes terday afternoon being largely at tended. The Charming Woman Is not neceusaril' one of perfect form and featujeB. Many a plain woman who could never serve as an artist’s model, i-ossesses those rare qualities that al the world admires: neatness, clear eyes, clean smooth skin and that springhtllness of step and action that accompany good health. A physically weak woman Is never attractive, not even to herself. Electric Bltte-s restore weak women, give strong nerve*, bright eyes, smooth, velvety skin, beautiful com plexion.

Those who came and took part In the game were Messrs. Norman Jones, Claud Tbacks- ton. Girard Lipscomb, Watson Bell, George Mason, Stanley Little and Roy Davis. The score was nine and five j n favor of Blacksburg Old-Fashioned Way. (Orangeburg Times and Democrat.) Che r okee county is a bad place to monkey with the law. The Juries up there have an old-fashioned way of convicting men for killing one another and sending them to the gal lows or the peitentiary for a good long spell. It fs a great pity that the juries in all the counties in the : State don’t follow the good example of the Cherokee juries. We would then have fewer murders in South j Carolina.

Many of our friends have been enquiring why we were not writing for our county paper, all of which we appreciate and wish to thank them in this letter for their thought fulness of our feeble efforts. Some have even said that their papers would be stopped if we didn’t com mence to report again, but I think this is all a mistake and I hope so, any way. L D.

Misg Pearle Burgess, another of our good organists, has been furnish ing our Sunday school with music here recently. Now since Mr DeCamp. editor of Thf; I>edger. calls for a correspond ent from every comer of Cherokee county, why can’t Goucher and As- bury, our neighbors, furnish us with a good lively reporter?

A Ledger man called at the store and in con versation with Mr. Kempner (who represents Gilmore & Company) he said; “It is simply a case of over stocked on account of bad weather and backward season and they need the money. We were sent here to turn the stock into cash in a hurry. The necessity of this, case makes this importance. I don’t think we will have much trouble in disposing of the stock, for the prices we will put on the goods will move them quickly. “We have closed ’he store to ar range the stock. The store will re main closed until tomorrow (Satur day). when we will throw the doors ope n to the public.
