The sword is twenty-four and a half inches long. The blade is twenty inches and the hand four and a half. On the sword in raised letters are the words “United Colonies,” also the letters "W. S.” It is a dangerous looking and no doubt did execution in the battles of Oowpens and King’s Mountain. It was found by a colored man on King's Mountain about eight years ago.

Those who join ed during the meeting were Misses Maggie Moss, Effie James, Maymie Foster and Sunie Mabry. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Blanton, of Gaff ney, visited relatives here last week. Mr. and Mrs. J. R.

A large audience assembled at Bu ford Street M. E. church Sunday morning to hear Rev. Mark Carlisle, presiding elder of this circuit. His text was from 1st Corintheans 3rd chapter and last two verses. The discourse was one of great power, emphasized the idea that it was God’s wish His people should enjoy all the beautiful things of this world, that the grumpy, sour visaged Chris tian was not a representative one. etc. Mr. Carlisle is an unusually fas cinating speaker, never at loss for word or chaste expression and the congregation thoroughly enjoyed his effort. In the evening the pastor gave a brief talk on “Sin,” appealing to his people to use their best efforts to sup press vice and profanity in our midst and giving some local items showing the necessity therefor. day. Miss Hattie Mitchel, of Jonesville, is visiting her brother, Hilliard, of this place. Miss Hattie and Mrs Mitchel were visitors to the singing school Saturday evening.

All of “Uncle Jesse” Mabry’s friends and acquaintances have a special invita tion to come and make the occasion a pleasant one. Annie Laurie. man and a preacher who preaches the Bible on plain and simple bases. He did not take any special text last night but urged the people to prepare for their meeting. This is a very serious task, but a very small one. He took for his text today the 20th chapter of John, and preached forcibly and with simplicity. Our pastor, Rev. E. G. Ross, came in this morning, having been detain ed from his call to duty at this place, by having to conduct a funeral ser vice at Greer, his home. At the opening of the service today, Mr. Ross told of the hinderence to his being here yesterday, and conducted the prayer services, after which Rev. Mr. Teal took charge of the pulpit, and as already stated, pronounced the subject of faith in an eloquent man ner. During the series of services con ducted by Rev. B. L. Hoke at Mt. Ararat last week, there were six con verted and baptized and one came in by letter. Mr. Hoke is a man well learned in the Scripture and a most eloquent speaker. These two features of man constitute what is known as a Bible teacher. Crops are needing rain at this point very badly, and apparently, if it does not rain in a few days there will be very little over a half crop made this year. Messrs. Walter Coyle. Jeff Parris and John Rains, of Gaffney, were Mt. Ararat visitors yesterday. ✓ Knowledge is power. If you do not believe it try writing a few letters to The Ledger, and I think you will find it so. J.

Our Washington Letter. Washington, D. C., Aug. 6.—The Democrats are more aggressive in this campaign than they have been any time since 1892. Furthermore, the party is as thoroughly united, de termined, and harmonious as it was in that famous campaign which re sulted in a great Democratic land slide. Mr. Bryan has shown great political sagacity in chosing an east ern man, Mr. Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, who is thoroughly identified with the old Cleveland wing of the party, to manage his campaign and, who a f the same time is a devoted and loyal follower of the eloquent Nebraskan. It is evident that the Democrats are going to assume the aggressive, from the start to finish, and they are going to assault and storm the Republican breast works all along the line. While Mr. Roosevelt has been a popular and patriotic president, they point to the fact that the Republican party at heart is as bitterly opposed to him as it is to Bryan. In fact the Repub lican party is so thoroughly wedded to the trusts and corporate Interests, and to the interests of what Mr. Roosevelt call the “wealthy malefac tors," that Mr. Roosevelt has been utterly unable to accomplish any good for the country.. The great Standard Oil fine of $29,000,000 has been set aside by Standard Oil Republican judges and thus deprived the Repub licans of the only legitimate evi dence of real results yet accomplish ed by the Roosevelt administration. In fact the Republicans in this cam paign cannot point to a single trust that has been "busted” by the ad ministration, nor can it point to a single item of relief that has been of- forded the people as the result of the Republican administration. Further-1 more they point to the fact that all of the policies of Mr. Roosevelt that have excited such tremendous popu- larlty and approval were promulgat- i ed by Mr. Bryan long before Mr. j Roosevelt has gained popularity only by carrying out Mr. Bryan’s prtnd-1 pies which were not only preached by Mr. Bryan but have been Incorpor- j porated in Democratic platforms as well, and are absent from the Repub lican platform. In other words, if the i people want relief they must look to the Democrats and not to the Repub licans. Enroll and Rngistnr. I beg to call the attention of Demo cratic precinct chairman, and precinct secretaries, that all Democrats who desire to vote in the coming Demo cratic primary election, must, have their names enrolled upon the club list for their precints five days before the first primary election. If you fail to enroll and are refused the privilege of casting the ballot, no one will be to blame but those who neglect to enroll. No registration certificate will be required to vote in the Democratic primary, but every Democrat should go before the county supervisors of registration and register under the constitution of South Carolina, and be prepared to cast his ballot at the general election, at which time you will be required to produce a regis tration certificate, and your tax re ceipt for the year 1907. Our people are too careless about registration and voting in the general or Novem ber election. It is the duty of all of our party to register, even if our can didates for congress have no opposi tion, and there is always danger of contests, and the light vote we cast is one of the reasons urged by the Republican party for reducing the congressional representation of the South. Enroll for the primary and register for the general election. Un der the constitution every elector must register every tenth year. No matter if you have been registered heretofore, you must register during the year 1908, in order to be a qualified elector for the general election, and at least thirty days before the gene ral election. See that you are regls tered and that your neighbor is re gistered. J. C. OTTS, Co. Chairman. Aug. 11. 14 and 18.
