Some of the Lectures Delivered to Criminals on Whom He Passed Sentence—Wilkinsville News. Wilkinsville, Oct. 6.—The commun ion meeting at the A. R. Presbyterian church at Hickory Grove comes off next Sabbath. P tober 11th. Preach ing begins on Thursday night next. We hope to attend it. We understand the Messrs. Fowler Bros. (W. G. and .1. H. Fowler) have bought the Sarratt lands on Broad river below Howell’s ferry. Mi^srs. Gamer and Brewington are running a saw mill on the Doug- j lass place now owned by the Plaxlco Bros They have a fine lot of pine timber to saw up. Mr. C. W. Whisonant has bought a new engine for the ginnery of the Wilkinsville Oil Mill Company. , Some of the overflowed corn along, j0r ?, s Broad river and Thickety and Gilkey’s creek can be used for hog feed. BuA unfortunately ' most of it was too young to be -of any service. The overflowed cotton is about useless. It won’t make yarn or cloth. It may make paper, that's all. Paul Tate, colored, has a pair of fate upon the commenting of your such a state of morals." From the foregoing effusion (to which we could add much more, If necessary), it will be noticed that ITncle Joe I.ogan chose a high order of men as the standard by which to measure himself. Col. Tom Dawkins was the solicitor and prosecuted both these cases to a successful ending. It’s a well known fact that In those days to take human life under almost any circumstances was to narrowly (“scape the gallows, and It ought to he so now. With Judge O’Neall on the bench and Tom Dawkins representing the Slate, lawyers didn’t baffle with the courts as they do at the present day with their dilatory motions and other legal tactics. Mr. Terry Estes was unwell last week but kept up and going. He went to Gaffney yesterday. Your correspondent has been un well for a day or two with a severe pain in his breast. Mr. John A. Hames, of Gowdeys- ville, has a specific remedy to keep horses from slobbering after eating wild clover—keep them off It. On the fifth Sabbath of next month (November 29) Rev. S. H. Buckner, of Clio. S. C., Is expected to begin a series of meetings at Salem and to administer the sacrament of the Supper. He will doubtless continue to preach during the week n the weather conditions are favor able, and we are authorized to mvlte the general public to attend this series of meetings. We hope that ar rangements can he made by that time to secure a pastor for Salem and Limestone (Gaffney) churches .

They improve his looks am» give him a classical appearance— whea compared with his natural self. i ferent kinds—some to meet the coun ty board in regard to erecting a bridge at Howell’s ferry. Most of our farmers speak of sow ing wheat ibis fall. This Is a move in the right direction. It has been la our last letter we should have added a note explaining who some of Uncle Joe Logan’s smart men were— Col. Thomas N. Dawkins was the so-, .

Williams stood at the head of the Yorkvillebar and was noted for his legal attain ments—often being called to uifferent parte of the oiate to take pan in im portant law cases. Judge John Bel ton 0‘Neall was the peer if not the superior of any man who ever adorn ed the bench in South Carolina or anywnere else. He was “a terror to evil doers’’ and he never Iqst an op portunity to score individuals o com munities for participating in or tole ration of crime. In passing the sen tence of death upon a criminal he would accompany it with an exhorta tion superbly grand in thought and elegant in expression, setting forth the awful consequences of his crime In its clearest light. We could quote profusely from many of them which we well remember though a mere lad at that time. He was a great advo cate of temperance and roasted the liquor trade when it or its work came in his judicial pathway. His person ality was not alone confined to tus knowledge of the law. He was a con secrated Christian gentleman and a member of the Baptist church. In sentencing the Vickers boys—Jamuq and Newton at Yorkville in October, 1854, he said among other things: "If there had been no grog shop at Rock Hill there would have been no murder of Dobson there. Why don’t the people rise in their might and put It down? I learn from your trial, young men, that you are orphans: that you have been brought up in gross ignorance; that you have never been taught to pray and now young men, let me entreat you to begin to pray and if you can’t pray let me beg each of you to do like the Publican of old, smite upon your breast and cry, ‘God be merciful to me a sin ner.’ ” During the time he was mak ing this appeal to these unfortunate young men the solemnity in the court room *as scarcely less noticeable than were »he closing scenes at the gallows on the 29th of the following December. Then again at Union in the case of Phineas H. Johnson for the murder of Mary Ann Hyatt, he took occasion to refer to the spirit of lawlessness in the community in which he was brought up. He used the following language, among the many wheat. All it needs Is a fair trial. Messrs. John and Terry Estes have fathered their acre of Williamson corn. They got sixty bushels. It’s cost them less than one-half that amount would have cost them under the old plan of cultivation. Mrs. “Toney” Hope, of Shaion, visited her son. Boyard. last Satur day. Miss Maggie Mickle was in bed last week with chills. Several of our neighbors have seen frost, though It was not of the killing type we often have Jater In the sea son—everything Is so dry. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Estes have a right sick child—their baby. Dr. Pie- field is treating It. A minister meeting the little daughter of a great phllosophr thought he would learn from the child something about Its father's work, asked It: “What does your father teach your* “Obedience,” was the prompt reply of the child. The answer satisfied the minister that the philosopher knew his business and he asked no other question. The people of Union county are making a determined and manly fight for prohibition. We hope they will succeed by a large majority. The old county has many noble men, and women in it. We understand that next Tuesday, 18th Inst., is the time set for the boards of York and Cherokee coun ties to meet at the site to consider the matter of building a bridge across Broad river at or near Howell’s ferry. It Is also suggested (and we most heartily endorse the idea) that the citizens on both sides of the river come with well filled baskets and vlve the cmmty officials and visitors a nice picnic. This we shall expect and don’t believe we will be disap- i pointed. Come down. Mr. Editor, and join the band. J. L. S. The San Jose Scale in South Carolina. The San Jose (San Hozay) scale is the most pernicious insect pest of fruit and shade trees in South Caro lina. In some sections the owners of trees are cutting them down owing to the presence of this insect. The division of entomology of the South Carolina Experiment Station has re peatedly emphasized the fact in the press that there is no necessity for other cutting down or otherwise destroy- things he said on that occasion: "To you. at least, her person ought to have been sacred. For you she had made herself the guilty, degrad ed being to whom beauty was a re proach, character was infamy and af fection was hatred.

D. 1, Oct. 5.—As the ad-men are supplying the editor with an abundance of fresh copy these days, the Filbert knight of the pen decided not to send in any letter for Thursday, October the. 1st. The next Filbert letter will be dated October the 15th. This humble “knight” has a cer tain correspondent In the Wilkins ville section to whom he has writ ten, but without receiving an answer. He fears that the missive, which he sent to this correspondent some time ago, might have become lost in the mails. He doesn’t want any of his frieivds to think that he is above answering their letters. People are busy, these days, pick ing cotton, making hay. going to town, and visiting. Some are also at other sorts of Ctoployment. “That life Is long which answers life’s great end.”—Young. “Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is wing’d Cupid painted blind.” “I dare do all that, may become a man; Who dares more is none.” —Shakespeare. “An honest man's the noblest work of God.”—Pope. The foregoing quotations, from some of the great masters of expression, are apt and timely. When pondered seriously, they will be found to have a deep meaning. Mr. John Caldwell tells this Indian story, which, by the way. is a true story: There used to be Indians in this section. They roved about, from place to place, selling and trading their earthen ware, which they were quite proficient in making. There are still a few places in this section where “Injun mud,” as it is called, can be found. This was about sixty years ago. if this writer mistakes not. One day, there was a house-raising at old Mr. Caldwell’s, and several In dians happened to be present. When dinner lime came, they were invited to partake of dinner along with the white men of the party. But they de clined. saying: “No; white man eat first; then Indian, then dog. then negro.” Autumn smiles on the sunny South once more. Mrs. J. G. Brown, who has been spoken of in this correspondence from time to time, passed away on last Wednesday morning. She was. before marriage, a . Miss Latimore. and lived in North Carolina. She had been married about twenty years, but leaves only a husband to mourn for the departed. The re mains were laid to rest In Beersheba cemetery on Wednesday afternoon at three o’clock. Rev. H. J. Mills con ducting the funeral rites. Mrs. Brown had been In ill health for several years. The writer has now reached the stage in his “career” where he thinks that his correspondence should take on a more dignified form than It has heretofore worn. The room In which these lines are being penned is filled with the per fume of roses, although the month is October and the day is windy and cool. It reminds one of Alice Cary’s lines: The bills are bright with maple yet; But down the level land The beech-leaves rustle in the wind. As d y and brown as sand. The clouds in bars of rustly red Along the hilltops glow, And in the still, sharp air the frost Is like a dream of snow. The long-suffering linotype man made a mistake that, It is supposed, should be corrected here, fo-wit: In printing this quotation from By ron. “There’s not a joy the world gives likes that It takes away,” the type made It read as If Bryan, and not Byron, was the author of It. The next Filbert letter will con tain an account of the regular au tumn meeting, to be held this week at Beersheba church by Rev. H. J. Mills. Your scribe has been a little un well for a few days, but is feeling better today (Saturday). Once, years ago. there was a total eclipse of the sun. It came on about five o’clock In the afternoon, making the day quite dark for a time. The chickens all hastened to roost, with plaintive noise; and even the owls emerged from their day-time places of abode, giving forth dismal, owlish ' roaks. AH nature ieemed shocked and surprised at the sun’s suddenly darkening itself, and refusing to shine. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse N. Hogue spent Saturday night at Hickory Grove. Mrs. Jane Ferguson, of Filbert, is spending a while at the home of Mr. J. G. Brown. Miss Melinda Smith, who was men tioned recently as being very ill. Is still very low, but was thought to be improving somewhat this morning. Other items must, be left over lor the next Filbert letter. Ben Hope. Had a Close Call. Mrs. Ada L.

The popular Demorest Comedy Company which scored a big hit here last season, returns for a three-nights engagement Thursday, October 15th. Their opening play will be the great Western comedy drama, “The Miner’s Daughter.” This play affords ample opportunity to display the tallents of this excellent company, and is prais ed very highly by the Greenville and irtar.burg papers. Mr. Demorest writes that he is carrying this season the strongest company he has ever carried and Is breaking all previous records. The play for Friday will be the beautiful pastorial drama, “The Pariah Priest.” The clergy is respectfully invited. Saturday matinee, and night will be announced later. A half carload of special scenery will be used to stage the plays of the above company, and beautiful stage settings and electrical effects are carried. Pouplar prices will prevail. Of this company the Raleigh News and Observer says: "The Demorest Comedy Company scored another big hit at the Acad emy of Music last night in “A Mid night Elopement,” a play greatly en- 1 joyed by the audience and which was very cleverly presented, with bright specialties between the acts. “The company is an excellent po pular price one and deserves bfg houses.
