C- TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1. 1907. 11.00 A YEAR. Lx A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF ”HE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. WUkinuTille, Sept. 27—Before the (tapes •ontainiD^ what we said about the bad road between here and the ferry oame to band the road was work ed out and put in fairly good order, and we have, so far, escaped with our scalp. For a few days the water courses were high but they didn’t do much damage to the growing crops along their banks. The most of the low lands along Thickety and Gilkey creeks were drowned out early in the spring or summer and there are no crops on them but a little hay in places. The Wilkinsville ginnery is in operation and cotton is coming in. It will be several days before it Is crowded with work unless the price of the staple will justify farmers in selling. Most of them can arrange to hold H until next spring or sunjmer if thej wish. And they ought to use every means in their power to keep it off tne market until they can get what it is worth. Ow friend Lee Patrick asked if we thought that the lint grew after the cotton is packed. We don’t konw but what it may. At least we have heard old farmers say “Don’t gin your cot ton unless you are going to sell it right away. It will lose less in the seed than in the bale.'* It may not be the case that the lint gains anything while on the seed, but it is evidently true it doesn’t lose any thing, or very little at least. While Mr. and Mrs S- F. Estes were water-bound on the York side of the river, John and Terry kept house. We advised them to bring in their wives and when the old people came home to tell them they would take them in a« boarders. Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Blackwell went down Tuesday while the ground was wet to see Mr. W R. Walker’s farm and stock. Mr. J. L. Walker Is running his mower cutting peavines. Mr. Walker is not afraid to work, but whether he llbes to or not Is perhaps another question. We never see him idle however. Mr. Herschel Vassey, of Cowpens, visited his cousin, Mr. W. F. Vassey, down in the fork this week. gf Mrs. John L. Blackwell has been unweH for several days with a ma larial attack. We are glad to say that Mrs. W. C. Sparks Is able to be up and go to the table now. J. w. Von Buren, colored, of Sharon, the gin fixer, is repairing the gin of Mr. C. F. Inman. He has been is this business for some time ana is considered an expert hand. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Smarr, of Hope- well, who were water-bound on this side of the river this week spent the day with us last Tuesday. Mr. Frank Mitchell, of Hopewell, who earne over last Saturday to see his best girl, has had a good stay. We don’t know but that Frank was glad the rlror got up. The boys went fox bunting last Monday night, but didn’t get up a race. Mr. W- C- Kirby is cutting and sav ing a lot of hay. We aon t think Aunt Jennie Clary need to come after Bet- tie and the children now to take them and take care of them. C oleman will do that, although "Lon/.o” said his uncle Coleman didn’t very much like to work, (kierokee county hasn’t a better man in it than W. Coleman Kirby. He is doing all in bis power to educate his children and raise them to be nseful men ano women. Soiu*'- thing too many parents neglect and for which they will sup sorrow. We found what seemed to be a whole deck of cards lying In the road the other day—scattered everywhere. Perhaps they had paid for themselves Or had cost their owner more than they were ever worth to him and he bad concluded that was the way to dispose of them. Cards, pistols and whiskey are a trio of Satan’s agents that have done more to bring sorrow to the people of this land than all other agencies combined. Thev most always go together and head the cat alogue of crimes. If they don’t make cowards of men they prove the cow ardice la men. Take for Instance the young man who can’t talk to a young lady oy go with her unless he is brim ful of vrikiskev (and often sbe is fool enough to think this is manly in him.) He is afraid to meet his fel low man against whom he has a real or Imaginary grudge unless he has the ready pistol to defend himself or bluC bis adversary. It wag an easy thing daring the war to tell where the line* of battle were formed by the cards scattered along it. No man wanted to go into battle with a deck of cards in his pocket, and particu larly to be killed with them. As a rale tbs poorest fighters belonged to the card playing fraternity. We have known them when orders came to "Fall In, men,” to quit the game and •tribe a "bee line” tor *ne doctor to get exenssd, claiming to be sick. Sometimes they would succeed, but If they didn’t they would frequently excuse toemselves whep • good op portunity presented Itself. Rev. J. H. Thacker has been assist ing Rst. Mr. Counts In a meeting at , Mol Vernon where we art told they have been having a good meet ing and several have Joined the church. Mr. Thacker is a great favorite with those Western York people, and be Is equally popular on this side of the river where his Is known. The reminiscences of W. R. L. are intensely interesting and will be read with great pleasure by The Ledger patrons. Mr. Charley Elmore has built several hog houses for Mr. W. R. Walker on his Sunnyslde farm. Mr. C. W. Whisonant is having seed brought from the York side to the Wilkinsville oil mill. Several wagons are engaged hauling the seed. Mr. Willie Huskey would do well to quit other work end turn his at tention to music. As a singer and organist he is very little (if anything) behind Mr. Marshall who sings for Rev. Tom Leltch. He is one of our neighbor boys who has done much for himself in this line. It’s always a pleasure for us to note the success of our country boys In any useful trade or calling. Success to you, Willie, we believe a bright future awaits you. Mr. Charley Foster is our brag cot ton picker. We are sorry to note that Mrs. Dr. Calvin Brice McKeown died at her home at Fort Lawn, In Chester coun ty, last Saturday. She was forty-six years of age. She was Miss Dorsey Howze, and was an Influential mem ber of the Presbyterian church. Messrs. Fowler Brothers are put ting up their ’phone wire. Mr. Hedge peth is doing the work. Cotton pickers are busy now since the fodder season Is over. Mr. John Wright, of Flint Hill, has a fine turnip patch. We append a copy of Congressman D. Wyatt Aiken’s letter to the pat rons of R. F. D. mail routes in his district which* of course, refers to other sections of the country as well: “Under the ruling of the Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, rural routes that are not appreciated will be discontinued or changed to tri weeklies. Appreciation, as defined by that office, means that the people who are served should subscribe to news papers and otherwise increase the volume of business, see that roads are kept in good condition, and put up approved mall boxes. “One of the strongest arguments that has been advanced in favor of the rural service, is that it induces more reading, broadens the individu al’s knowledge and better fits him as a citizen and as a business man to protect his Interests. “The route serving you is very near the danger line In the matter of mail handled, and it must be increased. Knowing that you fully appreciate the merits of the service, let me urge you to use your influence for its im provement. See your neighbors and have them to subscribe for at least one paper. Where they haven’t ap proved boxes, urge them to put them up. If sections of your roads are in bad condition have a delegation of your citizens to direct the county supervisor’s attention to them. A lit tle work properly directed will do wonders in the Improvement of your ■route.” Mr. Jack Kendrick, we learn, Is buying cotton for Lockhart Mills and paying Gaffney prices. It is expect ed that Mr- C- W. Whisonant will soon open a market at Wilkinsville and pay the highest market prices. That’s right, gentelemen, give the farmers a chance—the more markets they have the better they can suit themselves. J. L. 3- NEWS ITEMS OF LOOM. INTEREST. EVENTS IN GAFFNEY AND CHER OKEE.

Happnlnge AH Over the State Taken < from Our Exchangee and Tersely ..Told te Lodger Readers. The residence of Mr. E. D. An drews, president of the Durst-An drews company, of Greenwood, was destroyed by fire Thursday afternoon. The fire alarm was given about 6 o’clock but the fire had made too much headway to be checked by the Greenwood fire department. The resi dence and contents were a total loss. The election of Dr. Robert Adams, of Laurens, to the presidency of Clin ton college came somewhat as a sur prise to the people of that city. How ever, It was known that he was favor ed for the position by many of the trustees even before the election of Dr. Sweets, who declined, un the first of November Dr. Adams will have completed his 12th year as pas tor of the First Presbyterian church of Laurens and at that time he ex pects to assume his new duties, as he stated there Friday. By a very close decision the Judi ciary of South Carolina, sitting en banc, decided that the state treasurer Should issue certificates of stock for bonds taken from the treasurer’s of fice by a clerk after being offered for cancellation and placed upon the market. The decision means that At torney General Lyon will at once have to commence suit against the State treasurers who employed the clerk in question. About $18,000 in principal ami interest is at stake and the action of the court is far reach ing and regarded as very important in financial circles. Bultmann Brothers, of Sumter, the oldest, shoe house in that part of Soqfh Carolina, established in 1863. kiVe established a shoe manufactur ing department in connection with their wholesale and retail establish ments. Twenty-five up-to-date shoe- ! making machines have been purchas er and are being installed by ar ex pert. Electricity will be used as the motive power. There will be manu factured to begin with 300 pairs per 1 day, and this firm hopes to employ at . feast 50 hands In a short while. Bult- | mann Brothers have had a man on the road selling shoes wholesale for some time, and have for over 40 years been the leading exclusive shoe deal ers of eastern Carolina in the retail 1 line. Thursday at 12 o’clock the graded school building at Latta, was totally destroyed by fire with a loss of $4,- 000 or more, covered with $2,300 in- i surance on the building and furniture, j Fortunately the fire was discovered i while all the children were out of the ; building during the noon hour and all escaped Injury. If this fire had happened a few months later It would not have fallen go heavily on the town for they have already voted and sold $15,000 worth of bonds to build a modern school. Prof. H. W. Acker man, princloal of the school, who Is entering on his third years work there, will carry on the school, Hav ing already arranged to use the churches until the new building can be finished. It is supposed that a spark passing out of a flue lodged on top of the building and was kindled by the wind Into a blaze. Samuel J. Evans, a native of New berry. and for 20 years a well known resident of Roanoke, died suddenly in Roanoke early Friday of acute in digestion.

He invented an elec tric cancelling machine adopted by the government for use in cancelling I letters in postoflices, an umbrella at tachment and other devices which brought him a fortune. At the time of his death he was at work on an automobile Improvement and other things. He was about to establish a plant at Roanoke for the manufacture of his Inventions. NEW USES OF COTTON OIL. This Great southern product past Be- comin a Household Remedy. (The State.) Nearly everybody these days knows the usefulness of cotton oil as an edible in place of olive on, and as a cooking fat in place of lards and com pounds and as a high grade butter fat, but few indeed know its value as a household remedy. In a booklet recently sent out by the Texas Seed Crushers' association the following “home remeuies aro given, and an authority for each and every one of them. “Burns, scalds, cuts and wounds of all kinds are soothed and benefited, and rapid healing is Induced by. bind ing with bandages soaked with cotton oil. “The most painful earache is fre quently relieved by dropping cotton oil in the ear .and if from cold or ca tarrh, the nose is raw and sore, drop some' warm cotton oil into the nos trils, holding the head back to allow it to penetrate the nasal passage. “Delicate and s ; ck babies and large children are rapidly nourished and fattened by frequently rubbing with cotton oil. and a baby so thin at birth as to be almost despaired of, will rap idly take on flesh and health with no other treatment than frequent cotton oil massages gently administered. “For stiff joints,' either from cold, fatigue, or strain, or incipient rheu matism. o - for sore throat, a rubbing with cotton oil offers a quick and pleasant remedy and for bad colds, coughs or sore chest, a few doses of cotton oil will give relief, and indeed has even been recommended and found effective in tuberculosis troubles. "Nearly every one would be bene fited by taking two or three table spoonfuls of cotton oil a day, for it is not only a food but mefilfine. It adds nutrition without distress or re pletion. and is a gentle and grateful lubricant to the intestines. “If you are troubled with constipa tion the juice of one orange and two tablespoonfuls cotton oil taken just before retiring will relieve any but a very obstinate case, and at the same time furnish healthful nutrition.” THROUGHOUT THE TARHEEL STATE.

Gaffney is to have a big show Oc tober 8th, not a paltry one-horse af fair, but as the hand bills express It, "the paragon of all tented amuse ment enterprises;” and the announce ment brings gladness not only to the hearts of the children but to the grown ups as well, for the fascination of the big tents, the rings covered with tan bark, the tumbling clowns and the hair raising “stunts” of the up-to-date thrillers, not to mention the pink lemonade and peanuts, never entirely loses itg effect on us even though "taking the children” is used for an excuse. RECENT EVENTS OF NOTE IN i NORTH CAROLINA. . Item 8 of Interest Concerning Our Neighbors in the Old North State Clipped from Our Exchangee. The temperature went as low as 49 degrees at Raleigh Thursday morn ing and in the western part of the | State there was light frost. No dam age wag done anywhere in the cotton belt, the weather officials stating. j Mr. J. Tom Dover, prominent in Shelby in business and social circles, was badly injured Thursday at a saw mill near King’s Creek. His leg was broken between the thigh and tbe knee. He was taken to Shelby Fri day morning and is suffering very In tensely from his injury. i Rev. Dr. Allred H. Moment, the be loved pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Raleigh, is holding is own, though still a very dangerously sick man. Inquiries regarding him have come from all over the State and from a number of points In Virginia and South Carolina. He is widely known in his denomination as a writer and preacher. Mitchell Butler, 28 years oi age, who is wanted in Mitchell county, for the murder was arrested in Bristol, Tenn., Friday and U ba- ing held for North Carolina officers. Butler shot and killed Albert Ed wards near Spruce Pine, about three weeks ago, after the latter had at tempted to kill Ambrose Fender, a mountaineer. Friday morning a conference waa held in Raleigh between governor^ members of the corporation comxnla- sion and counsel for the State in the Southern investigation at which the question of getting before Judge Pritchard an appeal from the ruling of standing Master Montgomery, that the records be not examined further back than June, 1905, was considered. An effort is made that it be permit ted to go back at least five years. Before the governor and the coun cil of state at Raleigh Thursday there was the matter of allowing at least 50 convicts to the Transcontinental Railway, which S. A. Jones and other* desired the State to own, a very am bitious plan for ten millions or stock having been advanced at the last ses sion of the legislature. This did not meet with approval and then a bill passed allowing the company 50 con victs upon condition that it met re quirements to be fixed by the coun cil of State. Ground was broken on Wednesday, the 24th, for the erection of the new Flint Hill Baptist church. Plan* for the erection of this church have been on foot for some time, and this be- : ginning fills the hearts of tne people there with Joy and hope for the speedy completion of this house of worship. , Flint Hill Baptist church was found, ed In the year 1792 by Rev. Mr. Ruck er, who went there a* a missionary I from Virginia. The church was or- ganized with a membership of 12, three of whom were Indians The first house of worship was a log caoin, with ground floor and furniture of the rudest description. The house occupied by Mr. Nash j J. Miller, known as the Hall property in Shelby, was completely destroyed by fire, which broke out about 12 o’clock Thursday night. The occu- | pants barely escaped with their lives, i None of the household effects were saved. It is thought the fire was started by incendiaries, though as yet there has been no clue discovered. Several attempts nave peen made re cently to burglarize the house. Mr. Miller, who formerly lived in Char lotte. was Just recovering from sick ness. A rough estimate place* the ■ loss at between $4,000 and $5,00^. j The property belonged to Mrs. A. C. Ray, of Charlotte. It was a complete , loss, the Insurance having expired on the mb.

John A. Fant, of Union, whose will was made public and pro- | bated Friday, the First Baptist church of that city will be the recipient of a bequest of $10,000 "If so much be necessary” to dear off the debt now {hanging over the church, and that It I may be entirely eliminated. When the nlan for the new church was first proposed a few years ago, Ifaj. Fant was among the largest contributors. Since that time he has made many other contributions, which probably amount to $3,000 or $4,000. While the building was being erected, It was found, as is very frequently the case, that the building would cost more than has been expected, but It wa* decided that It would be. best to build a church which would be a credit to Union In yearn to come, and the money necessary for It* com pletion was negotiated for. Now through the splendid liberality and great generosity of Mr. Fant some thing like $10,000 will be bequeathed. BEST OF PROOF Learn to stop croaking. The world Is too bnsy to ear* for your tils sad has n pink An ‘‘Ornery" pumpkin. (Klngstree County Record.) "Uncle George" Byars brought to The Ledger office yesterday a mon strous pumpkin. It tipped the scales at 311-4 pounds. "Uncle George" learned to raise these things in old York, where they can raise them without work.—Gaffney Ledger. That pumpkin might appear big In Cherokee county, but in Williamsburg it would be regarded aa very "onery." If Brother DeCamp will come over to Klngstree we will show him some pumpkins worth bragging about; for instance that little specimen at the Farmeis* Supply Co.’s that tips the beam at one hundred and ten pounds. Few people mourn the loss of other people’s money. Every time a man bets with a wo man he wins.
