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.

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.

The prompt return of Will A. Dar

in The Ledger columns is not the

“hastier” in business. Some time

and citizen ,Capt. Alfred Harris, that

wft* read the advertisements of the
paper need never be behind the busi
ness affairs of the county.

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

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 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
