He treated us most kind ly and left a warm place in our heart for him. Mr. H. C. Reynolds got into a per sonal difficulty with, who is said to be, Adolphus Mitchell, colored. The “scrap” took place in Wilkes Brown’s store late last Saturday evening. Mr. Reynolds knocked Mitchell down, whereupon, Mitchell used his knife, inflicting a pretty bad wound on Mr. Reynold’s side. The wound is not serious, however. Mrs. C. E. Kitchens spent yester day with relatives at Pacolet. Carville Chalk was a visitor to the lower part of the county this morn ing. The protracted meeting at Goucher begins Monday, August 24th. Today the candidates speak at Smith’s store.

He did, however, at last decided that it was now or never, so he began: “Dear heart, you have the most beautiful hide of any-—” but he got no farther with his declaration of love, as the dearest girl “angrily broke in: “Hide, you say? Don’t you ever speak to me again, at least, don’t ever say hide in my hearing any more. The very idea of a boy who doesn’t know the difference between skin and hide is just shocking.” And she left him in a pout. But he got even with her soon after this Waterloo of his hopes by singing a sacred song. Instead of singing “Hide Me, O My Savior,” he sang it thus: “Skin Me, O my Savior, Skin Me.” After that, he was just the dearest of boys, etc. Mr. and Mrs. W. L.

So I trust that the editor and Mr. Darby, the linotype operator, will excuse all my mistakes.

He re plied that it was a hard problem to solve, and mentioned several men who, he thought, might get the nomi nation. Then the conversation drift ed to Bob Taylor, of Tennessee. Mr. Drakeford paying him the following fine tribute: “Tayor is a wonderful man. He employes much sentiment in his, you know. Takes his old fiddle out into the mountains, and works wonders on those plain moun tain people.” Mr. J. S.

Rock Hill, June 30.—The case of young Arthur Lee of this city has end ed happily as it now turns out. It will be remembered that he was ar rested here 10 or 15 day since as' a fugitive from justice, being charged by the sheriff of Frederick county, Maryland, with housebreaking and larceny.

His parents live here and had started to their protracted meeting Saturday night when they were overtaken by a ’phone message of the drowning of their son. His re mains were interred at Knuckolds Chappel Baptist church Sunday. A large crowd attended the burial. Davis was a respectable colored man and his parents are high-class and respected. We extend our sympathy to the family. The protracted meeting which has been in progress with the Griffin Hill colored church for the past few days, has broken with four conversions. The protracted meeting at Knuck- olds Chappel Baptist church Is bow in progress. Rev. H. K. Bates, the pastor, of Union, is doing the preach* $2,000 to await further action of the Maryland authorities. It has now transpired that Lee is not the man wanted at all and he has been re leased from the bond and stands clear of all charges against him, as was predicted by his friends. Lee says that the guilty party, knowing that he was not in Maryland succeeded In diverting suspicion toward him. Lee was not in Maryland ut the time of the offense was committed. He has recently married and is the eldest son of Mr. Cliff Lee. an ergineer of the Charleston division of the South ern, who resides here and who Is highly respected. I Watch your label, we are not able To stand the agony aronnd oar tnblo. There are other view-points besides mine, therefore, I should know better than to think that it is just I and no one else. I do not intend to throw a slur at any one; for I take no stock In sland erous effusions, and I do nothing whatever which may seem to be done “just for spite.” But I want to say bore and now that I wish more of our editors would use their brains. Some of them seem to be content with just as few editorials as possible, except whenever they happen to have an un usually good subject on which to write. An editor should have heart to heart talks with his readers. He should be a keen observer, and he should ha\4 a thorough knowledge, and a fine appreciation of all branch es of literature. He should study, he should think, and he should write. He should also possess a fine style, and use terse, direct and vigorous English. He should be a big man, bigger than his paper, if possible. In other words, he should be in sympa thy with his readers, and fight their battles, always. And I believe I know several editors who possess these qualifications. I am going to run the risk of meet ing the editorial scalping knife, this time, and make another attempt to tell the “story of the Filbert picnic” as I saw it. We got up early, in or der to get a “soon start,” as we live about six or seven miles from Filbert. Our people had already prepared the dinner that we were to take with us, and so we were soon prepared to start to the picnic. Filbert is a small flag station on the C. ft N. W. rail way, about five miles north of Tork- ville, and is composed of a postofflce, several dwelling houses, three stores, and a school house. It Is situated on a high, level, and gravelly piece of land, and commands a good view of the surrounding country. I desired to be among those first on the ground, but my friends, Messrs. Wylie and Meek Hogue, “beat” me to It, by a long jump. When we arrived, we found a number who had already pre ceded ns; bat we found n place to pat From Cherokee Fails. Cherokee Falls, Aug. 4.—The weath er has been very hot, but the atmos phere was changed this afternoon by a heavy rain. It seemed as tnougn we were going to have a hurricane. Mrs. R. F. McKown is visiting friends and relatives at this place. Mrs. Mary Lee has returned after a few days visit among friends in the Mt. Ararat section. She reports a nice time and attended the protract ed meeting at Mt. Ararat. Mr. and Mrs. E. P. McWhirter spent Saturday night and Sunday with Mr. Bob Wallace near Hickory Grove. MisseS Annie Faysoux and Pearl Allgood visited friends in Gaffney to day and on their way home they were caught in the rain which gave them a good wetting. Mrs. P. M. Keller and three child ren, of King’s Mountain, have been spending a few days at the home of Mr. R. C. Cobb. Miss Annie Fayssoux gave a soci able last night in honor of her guest. Miss Mamie Little, of Gaffney. Those present were Misses Mae Mc Whirter, Cecil Huskey, Pearl All good, Watola Roberts, Georgia Hum phries and Mamie Little; Messrs. Hunter Faysoux, Claud Cobb, George McWhirter, Fred Smith, Amos Mc- Swain and Daisy Rolin. One and all semed to enjoy themselves. Come again, Miss Mamie, we are glad to have you with us. Messrs. W. D.

We have the satisfaction of knowing tint our prediction is being abundant ly verified. Gaffney can beat the world when it sets its head to do so hc anything it undertakes. During this month—August—your correspondent wants to take a trip to Chester and Fairfield counties to visit, old friends and relatives. In our writings we are often com pelled to mention things that are by no means pleasant to us—far from that. But when it becomes our duty w r e shall do so regardless of whom It effects or the consequences that, fol low our doing so. But should we at any time say anything that misrepre sents or improperly reflects upon any one, it will be our pleasure not only to retreat but to apologize for the wrong done them. We have always had the manhood to do that and are willing to take off our hat to the humblest and ask pardon for a wrong done them. We wouldn’t give a cent for the man who wouldn’t do so. Mrs. J. L. S.’s chickens have about quit dying with cholera. She has onn hen that pulled through under the most extraordinary circumstances. Tuesday morning of last week she didn’t come off the roost and staid there day and night without chang ing her position and Mrs. S. thought she was dead and lodged in the limbs. She went to see about her and found she was still alive. Saturday night she fell or got out of the tree in some way aud next morning couldn’t be found anywhere. Mrs. 3. thought the hog had eaten her up but could find no bones or feathers. That evening when she went to feed her chickens Mrs. S. found the hen at the crib try ing to get some corn out of a crack. The hen is getting along very well now. This tale is so incredible that we don’t know that we would repeat it after anybody else than Mrs. J. L. S. who is no person to misrepresent the facts. J. L. S. Notice. Bishop M. R. Franklin, D.

Special arrangements will be made for white people. ' Gaffney Defeated at Rock Hill. In an exciting game of ball last Tuesday at Rock Hill, the Gaffney boys were defeated by a score of 2 to 1. On account of rain only six innings were played. They remained In Rock Hill on Wednesday to play another game but they did not get to play on account of rain.
