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-

able place in the college.
It is being planned to make the
Goorgla-Carollna Fair in Augusta,

ascertain any reason or cause for the
deplorable tragedy.

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

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

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.

beef business. He billed one yester-
