Clifton, Oct. 10.—The meeting at the First Ftaptist church closed Sun day night after holding for two weeks time, with sixty-two acces sions to the church. Rev. .1. E. Mc- Manaway, State evangelist, did the preaching. He uses strong and con vincing arguments in his preaching, such as the most obstinate find too powerful to resist, but were compell ed to yield. Thirty-eight of this num ber were baptized by Rev. T. H. Har rison. the pastor. Sunday afternoon In the presence of more than one thousand people. The oldest man living in Clifton was among the num ber baptized. Evangelist McMana- way left Sunday afternoon for Rock Hill where he goes to assist in anoth er meeting, but left a favorable Im pression of himself upon the minds of these people. Rev. Harrison speaks of starting another series of meeting at Converse on Monday night of next week (the 12th inst.) in which he ex pects to be assisted by Rev. J. W. Guy. of Pacolet Mills. Yesterday about 5 p. in. our sec tion was visited by a considerable storm of thunder, lightning, rain and hail, and a slight swell in the river followed. Mr. Loehland, a professional fish erman, says he caught a carp this week about three feet long, and weighed thirteen pounds. He had forty-two cat fish in a box in the “Cinda branch” yesterday when it arose from the rain, and the box was washed down stream and a hole was bursted in it and the fish went on their way rejoicing. Frost has made its appearance (?) to the keensighted, but so far as we have been able to see. nothing has been injured.', Mr. William Croxton died Tuesday last from paralysis from which he had been a sufferer for more than two years. He was fifty-eight years of age, and came here from Tennes see. He is survived by a widow and one son. The burial took place at the Clifton cemetery Wednesday. Very 1'ttle cotton is offered for sale at this market. The price ofter. ed is from 8.50 to 9 cents. There is a great amount carried past tc the ginnery at Cowpens every day and is taken back home when ginned and packed to await higher prices. The people are going to have to adopt another method of business be fore “hard times” can be surmount ed. The farmer is the man that keeps the “world going.” T,et him fail and all other branches of indus try, wealth and prosperity “lag.” Upon him every human individual In existence is dependedent for his. or her. maintainance and business suc cess. Then in order to supply the needs of the world, he must make his own .occupation a success, and to do this he must introduce more and bet ter economy—raise his own supplies. Let him learn that the great secret of success is “self-independence.” While he relies upon his cotton* crop as his stay, and “keeps his corn crib, smokehouse and wardrobe in the North,” he will never attain to any thing like comfortable living. But while a farmer gets up from his bed In the morning and puts on a pair of pants made, say in New York,, and a pair of socks knit in Savannah, a pair of shoes made in Boston, a hat made in Philadelphia, and goes out and gets a half gallon or thro" quarts of Tennessee corn, and an armful of Hlue Grass hay and gives It to a Ken- lucky mule and then washes his face and hands, using Baltimore soap, af ter which he sits down to his table and eats biscuit made from Louis ville ground flour, wi?b Cincinnati liiirn or bacon: next he puts his Ken tucky mule to a Tennessee wagon anil drives to a depot, loads on a ton of Norfolk fertilizer, that man needn't expect to make his fortune by raising cotton. A negro is in jail at Spartanburg charged with wrecking a train on the Southern in which the engineer and fireman were both killed, and the baggage master was seriously hurt. Great fear of his lynching Is enrer- tained, and the Morgan Rifles have been sent for to go and guard the jail. They have gone. Show bills and circulars are out ad vertising Ringling Bros. World’s Greatest Shows to show at Spartan burg on the 17th inst. * By some means The Ledger of yes terday (Friday the 9th) failed to he received at this office. S. RAVENNA READINGS. Newsy Notes and Personals From Our Regular Correspondent. Ravenna. Oct. 14.—“Cx,” of Thick- ety, was mistaken in thinking he saw your correspondent at Thickety last week.

The protracted meeting at Paco let closed last Sunday night but we are not able to report results. Mr. J. I). Jefferies has not gotten his gin to running here yet, ana some are carrying their cotton to Mr. J. M. Lipscomb's gin at Goucher. while others are hauling to Mr. W. Sam Lipscomb at Asbury. Mr. Sam W. Clary, otir route 4 car rier from Gaffney, is delivering a large amount of mail matter on this route now. On Tuesday’s and Fri day’s. the days The Ledgers are sent out. the mail is very heavy and gen earlly on these days is from twenty to thirty minutes late.

Woodruff, who is teach ing the Asbury school, drives to and from his home at Pacolet every morn ing and night. One of our little brothers, on being closely asked about watering his lit tle calf, said. “If you don’t believe it, just ask God.” Just such an answer we might expect from any little child. Misses Rossie and Irene Foster, of Asbury, were shopping in town Mon day. Archie Brown, the little boy who was accidently shot some time ago, was a welcome visitor in our Sunday school last Sunday. The fiendish attack on the person of Miss Leila Dempsey, of Spartan- burg, was a shocking crime to be at tempted in broad daylight. We think it it time for all such criminals to be severely dealt with. The cool head of Sheriff Nichols shows Spartanburg has an officer that will not shirk his duty, although we believe our sheriff would have done the same thing. It is getting so that it Is dangerous for young ladies to travel alone, and es pecially around town. We are glad such type of colored people as Irby, are very few In this land of ours. These outrages should cease and that at once. C. Had a Close Call. Mrs. Ada L.

There were about 175 people there and all seem ed to enjoy themselves. Mr. Audly Gold, of Blacksburg, was there and made some pictures.
