WUkinsville, Nov. 13.—The Remi- nisceaces of ('olumbia written by .Iu8ge J. B. O’Neal in 1857 and repro duced in the ('olumbia State of last Sabbath is a very interesting docu ment. It was lirat published in The Patriet and Mountaineer of Green- o ville—our old family newspaper. Year correspondent has been on the sick list for several days but is getttag better. If ail reports are true, the arrest and detention of some parties of lower Cherokee will materially inter fere with the operations of the gamb ling and liquor selling fraternity. -It’s a very bad something that has no goed at all in it. Others would fol low if we bad more officials like Chief of Police Tom Lockhart and his efleient corps of associates. Mr. Sam Strain is having manure hauled out io put under his wheat. Seme of our people who have failed to take up their sweet potatoes find them “cold hurt.” The prompt return of Will A. Dar by’s watch effected through an “ad” in The Ledger columns is not the oalf evidence vre have that it is a “hastier” in business. Some time aga, we asked our readers where we coalA find a Shepherd pup. Before th# issue of the next paper we receiv ed a card from that sterling farmer and citizen ,Capt. Alfred Harris, that h«..hAd one we could get. Those wft* read the advertisements of the paper need never be behind the busi ness affairs of the county. Mb’s. “J. L.

Mr. Buckner, of Clio, is ex- pastad to preach at Salem on the 5th Sabbath of this month—November 29ML If the weather conditions and othaa things are favorable be will coaEane the meeting a few days dfcjnig the week. Those who hear htaa'Wtfl net be disaNfointed, and we hope be will be greeted with a full beans at each aervlse. Basse what we can gather the gin- nem’ reports are far behind those of laal year this time. Ms eaa’t account for why it Is that HNflMfy Grove gives more for cotton than is the bnyers at Gaffney. They bava as cotton mill there but they pap Die highest prices all the same. II aDEces ua that cotton buying is as mash the business of a town as sell- iag jhrjr goods, groceries, etc. We may say things sometimes whlah give offense. This we are sovry for—not because we say them —but because there Is occasion to say them, particularly when what we say Is right. We often speak flip pantly and say things that are mean ingless but we have always given $he majority of our readers credit for having common sense and of being able to put a proper construction upon them. To give offense knowingly, willingly and intentionally is no part of our nature and never has been. We like to read the letters of our various correspondents, and would be glad to make up an acquaintance with each of them. Some of them we know, but some we don’t; but this doesn’t lessen our appreciation of their Idlers. They have treated us with a great deal of courtesy and we have tried to do the same. What has become of the “Buffalo Bachelor? We ought to hear from him some times and we arc satisfied our young lady readers would lik<» to hear, too. Thanksgivyig day will soon he here and what are the special objects for which our readers are preparing to return thanks? This is a proper subject for con sideration and can t be looked after too soon. No doubt each one feels that he has some special bless ing for which he is more grateful than others—great as all others may be. For one, we are thankful for a good wife, a happy home and kind, obedient children—not one of whom •has ever caused us a moment’s sor row or unhappiness (except when t.hev were sick). The wine cup, the card table, the gamblers’ hell and the profane swear er’s oaths have never had any at traction for, or influence over them, or any of them. This could never have been so but for the help and in fluence of a loving and devoted wife and mother. If those who consider this assertion egotism will Investi gate they will Pnd the proof in living truthful witnesses. Three hundred and sixty-five days In a year is altogether unsufflclent time for us to express our thankful ness for this blessing alone to sav nothine of the thousands and mil lions of other blessings that .come to ns In other ways. The home over which a Godless wife and mother presides Is a nur sery of hell. Fortunate for the child bom In such a home to die In infan cy. Yet how few nf them are willing to acknowledge this as a fact. The Thomson jrBl came near being burned last Wednesday. The Are caught from a hot box. Put for ♦he presence and help of Messrs.

The Merchants and Planters Bank , News published by the Merchants i and Planters Bank of Gaffney, Is an ! excellent little paper which every- I body--especially the young—ought (to read. It will be useful to them i through life and will open up the way to great possibilities in the following i its of teachings. Ask that your name ; he placed on their mailing list and ! get t his paper monthly. It will do iyou good. We promised our readers to finish II he story of Henry Fernandez begun i in our last letter. As we slated, he went to Texas sometime before Mr. | T. Jeff Hughes did and married out 1 there. The union was not a happy 1 one in every respect for reasons al- ; ready pointed out. When Henry met Jeff he told him all about it and of his wearing the meddler into a “frazz.’’ That much | the worse for you,” said Jeff. “Why?" ; asked Henry. “Because, if he is a ■ trifling, no-count kind of a fellow he will bushwhack and kill you,” said i Mr. Hughes. “Oh, I reckon not,” said ; Henry. "Well, you’ll see,” said Jeff. I But before that Mr. Hughes had , had a difficulty with one of his neigh- ’ hors and had been shot and severely 1 wounded. His assailant had been ; tried in the courts and was acquitted jand so the case was left standing. Henry had come to see Jeff and stay all night. He and Henry sat up i late and talked the matters over, j Henry had already located a section I of land on the Brazos river which be- i longed to his father, Jim Fernandez, for his services in the Mexican war. To this Henry wanted to move if he could get his wife and children to | take with him. He knew his wife ( would go if she got the chance to get away from her people who were guarding her. Henry knew if he went there to take her it would be certain , death for somebody. Henry wanted Mr. Hughes to go with him and oc cupy part of the land, which the lat ter had partially consented to do. They, however, agreed upon their i plans and Jeff consented to go and bring* Henry’s family to him or die in the attempt. He told Henry he must first draw a map of the roads and a diagram of the house where she and her children were—giving gates, doors and rooms so that, he could go directly to where she was , without asking any questions of any- ’ body and he would go and he would , bring her and her children or never j return himself. Henry was to put : the man who shot Jeff out of business. . Plans were matured and time set for | carrying them out. Henry left. But before the time came he met the fel low he had "thrashed out” for mod- : dllng in his business. It was at a barroom. At first the fellow seemed to be very glad to see Henry. Shook (hands with him and asked him to I take a drink. In a few moments the fellow stepped out one door and went, round to the other and called—“Fer nandez!” Henry turned to look and as i he did the fellow fired; the ball struck Henry in the forehead and he fell and died In a few minutes. This, of course ; broke up their plans. The fellow left .and was never heard of any more. Mr. Hughes concluded to move back to South Carolina and started in a wagon. He had a description of the fellow who killed Henry Fernandez , on the lookout for him. Wien Mr. Hughes reached Hot I l>o saw a man who I the description <j>f the man to a F. The fellow eyed him with suspi cion, knowing he was from Texas Mr Hughes said to his wife, “Sis," (for ! that is what he always called her) “that’s the same w ho kill- I c<J Henry Fernandez,” and gave her hfs reason for thinking so. “Sis” (SJiid. “All. pshaw, you are mistaken.” Mr. I flushes could never get near enough to him for an Interview and he finally lost sight of him—the fel low left, and so ends our narrative. ! We promised our readers another lecture and here it. is: “A pretty woman” is a much used, much abused and poorly understood term as commonly used nowadays. Though she may appear as “all things to all men ” that doesn’t make her so bj any means. We can judge people better by what, they do than by what they really are. We are fallible crea lures at best. Realities and appear ances do not always agree with each other. Sometimes they do, hut often , they do not. ft’s an axiomatic principle of philo sophy that two things can’t occupy (the same place at the same time. ! Neither do good and evil coalesce with each other. It may be one or flu* other but never both at the same time. Kadi may increase or diminish within itself, but it can never add anything to or lessen the volume of •the other. j The mortal and Immortal state of mankind is scarcely less distinguish able lhan the physical find the nsychological make up of the same person. The silly flirt takes greater pride In gliding through the mazy dance or romping in the theatre w other places nf worldly amusement than in lending a helping hand to her i care-worn and overworked mother who has spent her whole life for her and whose counsels she has long since learned to treat with disrespect and disreeard, and whose grev hairs she is fast bringing down with sor row to the erave. She is unconscious of the shame she has brought uoon herself to sav nothing of her nearest and dearest friends who trv to apolo gize for her want of steadiness and womanly accomplishments by nlead- iog her youth and inexnerlence. Should she ever roach the honored position «if wife or motherhood the wretchedness of her condition fo the more annarent and denlorshle. Unsettled, uncouth, giddy and brain she makes her dehut Into society as a leader and a belle, the brightest star In the social firmament, only to , be pitied for her weakness and want of discretion and refinement. Beauty as applied to woman is an elastic term. It’s chameleonic in ad justing itself to the colorings of its surroundings. Different impulses give rise to dif- ! ferent conclusions. Facial features ! and expressions are often delusive, jand treacherous in the extreme. The face an figure of a woman may j captivate the heart of a man and 'drive him to the extreme limit of a ! burning love whose fatal ending will t probably be on the hangman’s rope or in a suicide’s grave. Why? Be- | cause his disappointment is so great ( and the influences about him so in- ! tensply ruinous. With all her so-called beauty she may be nothing more, nor less than an treh-demon from the infernal regions be able to bring the next, convention to our very doors—first in one part of the State and then in another. There are a great many other rea sons for organizing which I shall not mention for lack of space. If this call should meet the eye of a carrier in an unorganized county, he should lose no time in making of himself a pioneer in the cause by getting busy. Let him drop a postal card to every carrier in his county (the State association will pay for the cards) and urge them to meet him at some central locality, on THE CORN CONTEST. delegates to the State convention, but if we organize we can send good men to the State convention who may h t wi || Be Decided Thursday, The 19, I MR.
