Editor The Ledger.—It has been said that the cotton farmers of the South were the cause of the recent panic, and I hope that the statement is true. We have bad four or five panics in this country and this is the first that the poor farmers caused! They did not know that they had that much power. And some of them are blaming the union for causing the hard times. I think that the Farm ers' Union ought to serve notice that they will soon cause another panic if trying to hold their cotton for a bet ter price caused these “hard times.’' The speculators of the North miss ed their calculation last fall on the poor farmers’ cotton, and that threw the fat in the fire. We have it from good authority that about one hun dred years ago there were only a half dozen millionaires in this coun try, and now there are 4,600, and they are not here in the South, either, hoe- S I.

She was a devoted Chris tian lady and had been a member of the Methodist church for twenty years. She was sixty-six years old. and is survived by her husband and five children, one girl and four boys. It is indeed good to say she died trusting in her Lord and to her breaved ones, we extend our sympa thies. The death- of Ernest Robbins, which took place in Gaffney this morning, will be sad news to many around here who loved Ernest. He lived near here before he moved to Gaffney. He had been in poor health for some time. To his father and brothers we extend our heartfelt sympathies. C. of the so-called panic, in the way of new buildings that are going up fix different places in our own communi ty. Mr. C. B. Hammett has added a seven-hundred-dollar addition to his house, and he has a palace, now, al most fit for a king. Mr. Hammett is also the champion potato-raiser of this section. He has the largest pile of potatoes that I ever saw; and he presented me with one from his lot last night that weighed five pounds. The colored people of Green Bethel are building a large church that will cost about seven hundred dollars when completed. Mr. M. C. Lipscomb has the contract, and Mr. Wm. Petty is doing the building. W. G. Patterson. HOMICIDE AT YORKVILLE. Twc Drunken Negroes Quarrel and One Shoots the Other. Yorkville, Nov. 10.—Rufus Ander son and Tom Hafner, two negroes living on the farm of Mr. L. G. Thom as, about two miles sou^iwest of town, came here on Saturday after noon. They got some blind tiger whiskey and, while drunk, became in volved in a row. Anderson left for home ahead of Hafner, but stopped at the house of Dump Miller, who al so lives on the same place, and told about the row that he and Hafner had had, and stated that he was go ing to shoot Hafner when he came along. Subsequently Hafner arrived at the house and, true to his threat, Anderson stepped out and shot him. inflicting a wound which caused the death of Hafner yesterday morning. Anderson claims that during the row in town Hafner cut him with a knife, that he stopped at Miller’s house to have the wound dressed, that Hafner, when he arrived, threatened to kill him and that he (Anderson) fired in self-defense. His statements, how ever, were not corroborated by wit nesses who testified at the inquest. Anderson is in'jail. JJoth negroes have been with Mr. Thompson several years, and he re garded them as far above the average from every stanpoint, and entirely peaceable, except when under the in fluence of whiskey. It is said that the whiskey that caused the quarrel was a half-pint given to Hafner by a white man. Hafner divided with An derson and later they purchased, it is said a quarrel from a blind tiger.

CURED RHEUMATISM. Nearly everybody is susceptible to a twinge of rheumatism, sciatica, i ache, headache or neuralgia, and it's | never safe to be without a good ■ remedy for an emergency of this :kind. No matter what kind of pain you j have the beneficial effect of Sloan’s j Liniment is immediate. You lay it I on lightly—no rubbing whatever and 1 a pleasant warmth is felt at once. | The Liniment penetrates right to the i bone and quickly stops the pain. Mr. Chas. J. Budlong, of Anthony, R. L, Box 125, writes: “For many years I was a great sufferer from rheumatism. My hips would swell to enormous proportions and my knee joints would pain me in the most excruciating, awful manner imaginable. I used often to have to fall from the bed into a chair and thence to the floor, when I wanted to get from my bed. I used only some six or eight bottles of your celebrated Liniment and was cured. I cheerful ly recommend its use to all rheumatic sufferers. Refer to me if you so de sire. All letters answered.” —The most popular lady, the dia mond ring. Gaffney Jewelry v Co. ones. Sunday. Mrs. M. C. Burgess attended relig ious services at Pacolet Sunday night. C. P. Chalk was a Pacolet visitor last Friday. Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Guthrie and children, of Gaffney, and Prof. Chalk, of this place, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. John H. Lipscomb, of Goucher, Mrs. B. G. Ii. Pettit and sister. Mrs. Hammett, spent Monday at Goucher with Mrs. Willie Brown. Miss Annie Gore, of Goucher, and Mr. Jim Spake, of Thickety, surpris ed their friends and ran away last Sunday to White Plains, where Rev. J. D. Bailey soon made them one for life. We join in congratulations and best wishes they are receiving from their many friends. Mr. H. D. Mathis and son, Albert, spent some time in the White Plains district Sunday. They visited James W. Crocker, who is improving nicely after a long spell of sickness. A. A. Mathis, who planted ten acres of corn on the Wlllamson plan, ’phoned us yesterday that, from the ten acres he made 456 1-2 bushels. Mathis sfiid the ground was very thin and had he planted in cotton, he said it would not have made over 500 pounds of seed cotton to the acre. We want to hear from others, but the above will be hard to average. Mr. John H. Lipscomb, of Goucher, spent last Friday night in Gaffney. Broadus Brown raised a sweet po tato weighing 6*3-4 pounds. It wad very large, but Broadus wants a wife >o help eat it. Your correspondent, who is finish ing up his job at the Goucher ceme tery today, has to carry his dinner with him each day, but on yesterday we had the pleasure of eating a good hot dinner with Mr. and Mrs, John H. Lipscomb. About 10 o’clock Mrs. Lipscomb sent her little daughter. Miss Grace, to the cemtery to see if we wouldn’t eat dlhner with them, and, of course, we couldn’t “beg off.” “Errors of opinion may be tolerat ed where reason is left free to com bat it.”—Jefferson. “The writers against religion, whilst they oppose every system, are wisely careful never to set up any of their own.”—Burke. “A little philosophy inclineth a man’s mind to atheism, but depth of philosophy bringeth men’s mind about to religion.”—Lord Bacon. Now what is to become of all our reformers—Bryan, Watson, Graves, Hearst, and many others—since the wicked Republican party continues to be “lord of all It surveys?” Perhaps The State can answer. Farmers, one and all, improve your farming lands all you can. It is to your Interest and profit that you should do this. Mr. and Mrs. J. B. McCarter gave the young people of the neighborhood a party on Friday night which was very much enjoyed by all present, A friend has requested me to give the names of those who were there, but space forbids my doing so. “Ben Hope” spent Saturday night and Sunday very pleasantly at the home of Mt. J. R. Hogue. While there, he was visited for a few min utes by the Rev. W. T. Thompson, of Gaffney, who was spending the night with Mr. J. W. Bolin.
