Happnings aH Over the State Taken from Our Exchanges and Teraely ..Told to Ledger Readers. By a vote of 5 to 1, the Anderson city council Tuesday night decided not to place Anderson under the ban of the blue laws. Adit. Gen. J. C. Boyd, left Colum bia Saturday morning for Camp Ber ry, Ohio, with the South Carolina Guard rifl e team, which is entered in the national rifle shoot competition. The team will be in charge of Capt. T. T. Hyde, of Charleston. The monument erected in Lancas ter county by colored people to a ■white man as heretofore published, was formally unveiled Thursday with impressive ceremony and in the pre sence of an immense crowd of both white and blacks. For the first time in the history of Bamberg county the people will have a chance to vote on the question of prohibition of the sale of liquor. This election is to be held today (Tues day), and the past week has witness ed a great deal of discussion both for and atminst the dispensary. President D. B. Johnson, of Win- throp College, Rock Hill, in a recent letter states that he hag received 933 applications for admission to Wln- throp this fall, although the college has accommodations for only 428 grirls. In other words there are more than two applicants for every avail able place in the college. It is being planned to make the Goorgla-Carollna Fair in Augusta, this fall, the best that has ever been held there. Senator Tillman and Hon. John Sharpe Williams will be invited to attend and make addresses. The fair will open the first Monday In November, and it is hoped to have the two prominent Southerners on that day. Mr. T. W. Morton, who was drown ed ip the Savannah riverWednesday, was well and favorably known In and around Greenwood and his many friends were pained to hear of his tragic death. His body was found above Horse creek. His family, reL atives and friends were at a loss to ascertain any reason or cause for the deplorable tragedy. All the contracts have been signed and the arrangements completed for “ wrestling match in Greenville be tween Cbas. Qlson and Buck Foster for Wednesday night the 21st. The match will be for the best out of three with the strangle hold and the Gotch toe hold barred. Ed Adamson and Al Christensen are both working Foster and he will be in his best physical shape to meet Olson. The taxpayers of Spartanburg count:/ will vote on the question of issuing bonds in the sum of $200-, 000 for road improvements today (August 20). Should the election re sult in favor of the bond issue the county delegation to the Legislature will appoint a commission composed of representative business men to handle the money and direct the road work. The Bank of Slmpsonvllle was or ganized at Simpsonville Wednesday, with a capita] stock of $15,000. A full number of officials were also elected Including a. R. Hunter, pre sident; S. T. Moore, vice president, and C. M. Todd, cashier, a The fol lowing were elected as directors of the new corporation; f. D. Hunter, A. R. Hunter. S. T. Moore, B. W. Burdett, f. M Todd and J. m. Rich ardson, A general union of .all survlvrs of the Confederacy now residing in Laurens county will be held l n Laur ens on August 24. One of the mov ing spirits of this idea of holding re unions is Judge O. G. Thompson, of that city. Together with other vets he is anxious for every veteran’s family to be put in possession of all the available data respecting his re cord during the war. This will he one of the purposes of the forthcom ing reunion. About 1,000 descendants of the great Burrlss family, the largest family In upper Carolina, were pre sent at the second annual reunion at Salem church, five miles north of Anderson, a big picnic dinner was served, and the occasion was a most pleasant one. The principal speaker of the occasion was the Rev, V. I. Miaeters, formerly of this State, but now a pastor of Abbeville, Ala. A great many members of the family from a distance were present The Spartanburg police have com menced a crusadw against the shady e^abliahmenta in that city. The B^gnolla the Joint where Lena hellamg attempted to commit suicide Tuesday morning, was pulled and the proprietor. W L. Ross, and four young white women were placed un der arrest charged with keeping and maintaining a nuisance. In the police court Wednesday morning Rosa was given the option of paying a Bne of $100 or serving thirty days on the chain gang. Pearl Smith. Cora Law rence, Janie Rainey and Lena Hsl- lams were sentenced to thirty days straight. REFUSED TO KISS HER MOTHER. A pathetic Scene at Depot In Charlotte Saturday Morning. (Charlotte Chronicle.) A rather stirring scene was that this morning at the Southern depot, when Mrs. Thomas B. Young tried to kiss her nine-year-old daughter, Irene Glenn, of Gastonia, who with her uncle and aunt were at the station or their way to Columbia, S. C. The mother had not seen her child for many months—in fact since the mother and father. Mr. P. N. Glenn, were divorced. The court gave the child to her father and Mr. Glenn has had the little girl in Gastonia with him since. Within a few hours after the di vorce was granted, Mrs. Glenn was married to Mr. Young, of this city, and has been making her home here. When the mother went to her daughter this morning at the station and lovingly threw her arms around her and kissed the child, the aunt of the child rushed to the little girl and tried to take her away. The mother said; “Irene, don’t you know me, It is your mother; don’t you love me?” “No, I don’t love you; don’t kiss me any more,” wag the child’s reply. “I haven’t seen you for so long, Irene, bis s me,” pleaded the mother. The child began to scream, and It was then that her aunt came to her assistance and the mother turned and walked away. There were many bystanders and the attention of them was at tracted by the child. "Mrs. Young Is a handsome brunette, tall and grace ful. She is well known In Charlotte. The affair of this morning was a most pathetic one and many a heart was wrung by the treatment of the child to her mother. A NEWSY LETTER FROM WiLKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF *“HE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. A Good Meeting. Dear Ledger;—We have just closed a glorious meeting with .the Elbethel Baptist church. The church was greatly revived and built up in the faith. Seven were happily converted and baptized into the fellowship of the church. Rev. H. C. Dunn, of Greensboro, N. C., did the preaching, and Bro. Walter Humphries, of Gaffney, led the singing. The church responded with a nice contribution as a slight tofoen of gratitude; also raised money enough to buy a new organ. May the good work go on. Gaffney, Aug. 15th. Important Meeting. Mr. Editor.—Please indulge me again, i wish to call the attent£n of every person in Cherokee county to the fact that there Will be a meeting of the people of this county at the court house on Wednesday, August 28th at eleven o’clock, for the pur pose of transacting business that will be of the very greatest importance to every person in the county. Don’t fail to come. Gaffney, Aug. 16th. 8. C. Couple Weds in Charlotte. (Sharlotte Observer 17th.) Strange ag it may seem, a Palmetto State couple came to Charlotte yes terday to get married. They were Miss Bffle Clayton and Mr. Joseph Simmons, of Spartanburg. Rev. Dr. H. K. Boyer, pastor of Tryon Street Methodist church, performed the ceremony. Mr. Simmons and Miss Glayton did not belive In the South Carolina law, hence they came here, flying high above Squire W. O. Balles. who holds forth according to general public opinion somewhere below the line that President Andrew Jackson drew just after his Infancy. Mr. and Mrs. Simmons are prom inent young people of Spartanburg. They will spend their honeymoon here—as, naturally, they should—af ter which they will go to South Caro lina to live. Showed His Appreciation. Our linotype operator wishes to tender his thanks through The led ger to Ed Edwards, a worthy and industrious colored man of Etta Jane, for a fine watermelon that he brought to this office yesterday for the opera tor’s special benefit. The melon was a token of appreciation for a small favor Mr. Darby rendered Ed some time ago. Meeting at Salem, Meeting will begin at. Salem next ' Wednesday night at 8:30 o’clock. Prayer meeting at. 8:15. The pub lic. and especially thos» interest'd, are cordially invited to attend and I take part in the services. Farm Productg, The following item from the Horae and Farm may prove of interest to 1 some of our Cherokee farmers: “A man who has been a farmer for over sixty years, and who is a de cided success at the business, sums , up his experience in these words: i ‘Farm products have a selling value at the place of the| r making—a value just as they come from the soil. They have also an additional value to the farmer who converts them in* to a more condensed form, by feed ing them to livestock. That !■ their feeding value. We thus get to the manure value, and it surely is a moat important one. To increase the fer tility of the goll, is like loaning money at compound Interest—It doubles the value every eight or ten years. The farmer who sells loses the feeding and manurla! values. If he parts with a ton of bay for $9, say, and could make It pay him $12 by feeding it to cattle and abeep, he haa lost $1 of the feeding value and $3 worth of manure. In other words, he has sold his bay for $6 par ton lose than tt was worth if used by him/ The need of pasture, hay and Uva stock In good farming are thus soen/’ Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop- , ular People and Short Items of that Section. Wllklnsville. Aug. 16.—Beginning last Sabbath a protracted meeting has been going on at Mesopotamia church this week. Rev. Mr. Owens, pastor, has been assisted by Rev. Mr. Harper, of Gaffney, who has been doing most of the preaching. The congregations have been good and some powerful sermons have been preached. We had the pleasure of attending last Wednesday and Rev. Harper preached from the text, “Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven and whose sins are covered,” Romans 4:7. The sermon was a strong appeal to the unconvert ed In which they were urged to ac cept Christ on the terms of the gos pel. “God not only forgives the sin ner but He forgets his transgres sions—blots them out of the book of His remembrance and remembers them against him no more forever.” God’s plan for salvation Is absolutely perfect and the sneaker urged the unconverted to accept Christ with the assurance that his transgressions would never be remembered against him, even in the Judgment. We hope at conclusion of this meeting to he able to report good results. The meeting at Salem is expected to begi n on Wednesday of next week, 21 st inst. Mr. and Mrs. Sam A. Lee have a very sick child. Dr. L. R. Black on Wednesday lanced a rising on It which was giving the little sufferer great pain and It is now resting easier. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Blackwell re turned from a visit to Chester county last Wednesday. Miss Willie Waters and Mr. Tom Mitchell came home with them. Miss LflHan Boozer, of Gaffney, is spending a few days with friends in this community. The, death of Mr. h. P. McKissick. which took place at Jonesville one dav last week, removes one of the old landmarks from the Pea Ridge section of Union county, and the last member of the McKissick family from the stage of action. “Uncle Kler,” as everybody called him, has a great many friends within the scope of The Ledger’s circulation to whom this announcement will be un welcome news. He was a brother to Col. Isaac G. McKissick and he died at the age of seventy-nine years. Mr. H. Terry Estes spent one night in Gaffney this week. Terry is look ing round. He ran over tq Blacks burg from Gaffney. From all reports a long looked for and much talked of wedding will come off in this community In the near future. A Sunday school picnic will come off at Abingdon Creeh church tomor row. 17th Inst. The North Pacolet Interdenomina tional Sunday School Convention Is expected to meet at Ararat church on the fourh Sabbath of next month —September. Mr. and Mrs. Sam J. Strain and child. Miss Ruth, are visiting the families of Messrs. Charlie A. Sparks and John L. Strain, at Clifton No. 1. They will returned next Mon day. Miss Marie, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Estes, has been quite unwell for a few days. Elbert Lee. the youngest child of Mr and Mrs. H. B. McDaniel, of Hick ory Grove, has been right unwell with something like chicken pox. The visiting season is now on hand ® n d many happy family reunions are being held. Hallowed memories cluster around the word “reunion.” To us it has more than an ordinary meaning whether received from a civic, social or military standpoint. Severaj of our neighbors attended the picnic at Tirz.ah last Friday and enjoyed the occasion very much. Farmers are apprehensive thatco 1 ton ig going too much to weed. Corn, generally, is good except on the low lands where R has been drowned out. Messrs. John and Terry Estes gave a few of their ftlendi an ice cream supper last Wednesday night. The occasion was a very enjoyable one for they are splendid entertain ers. ’Mr. Noah Buice, of Jonesville, has been visiting his son, Mr. W. A. Buice. of Sarratt. Mt. and Mrs. Ed. Millwood, of of Hickory Grove, came over and spent Wednesday night with Mr. and Mrs. Charley Foster. To Mr. J. N. Strain we are indeht^ off for a sample of his watermelons. They ar© superfine both In size and lusciousness. From our brilliant, wide-awake Ravenna correspondent we learn that the people (and especially the mem bership of Goucher Creek church) are making the right kind of prepa ration for a good meeting at their church by organizing a prayer meet ing and getting themeelvee in readi- nes to begin the work. If all our churche had inch men as Bro B. F. Bonner to take the lead better results would Inevitably follow the ministers’ efforts. No military genius will allow his enem - to choose the ground upon which the fighting la to be done, if be can help it. Our (rid soldiers re member It was the bard marobtng of Longstreet’s corps to join possesion at Mftrye’s heights before General Burnside’s army could occupy them that gave to the army of Northern Virginia such a complete victory at Fredericksburg, December 13. 1862. Had Longstreet been two hours later i Q gaining his position the battle of Fredericksburg would doubtless have been a defeat rather than a victory for the Confederacy. So with regard to a church or a people who expect to fight the forces of his Satenic majesty. They should, at the earliest possible moment, oc cupy the ground and when the battle : comes off they can rest assured ' r \ an easy victory. J Sam J. Strain has gone into the beef business.
