Review of Events from One Qwr York County corrospondofita. Filbert, R. F. D. 1, Nov. 12.—Miss Eva Riddle, of Bowling Green, is visiting Mrs. E. N. Caldwell. Thanks, Mr. R. E. Johnson, for your •‘Democratic Dream.” It is a timely bit of newspaper verse. Mr. Zach McGhee, The State’s Washington scribe, is a brilliant knight of the pen. I read everything in* writes for The State. His style is simply delightful. Mr. J. N. Hogue, who has been do ing some carpenter work at Smyrna recently, tells me of rather an amus ing incident which happened there the other day. He says the story is true, every word of it; so I have ask ed his permission to reproduce it in one of my letters to The Ledger. As nearly as possible, I shall tell the story in .Mr. Hogue’s own words. “The other day, over there at Smyrna, a negro came along, hob bling on a crutch and pretending to be blind, deaf and dumb. It was with much difficulty that he got on at all. He was, of course, begging fo» whatever he could get from the sym pathetic and charitable, holding out a small paper for that purpose. So two young gentlemen were so good as to give him a quarter each. Then he moved pitifully on toward Hick ory Grove. “After awhile, the fellows who had given him the money, started to Hick ory Grove also. They hadn’t gone far until they saw, in the distance, their beggar of the morning. He had shouldered his crutch and was rapid ly counting the cross ties toward Hickory Grove! This made them de cide to, if possible, catch up with him and give him a pounding. So they drove briskly enough to soon over take him; and jumping out of their buggv. thev began to unhitch with all speed. Whereupon, the negro asked what they intended to do with him— conveniently forgetting to remain dumb. They replied that he should know soon enough by the time they had gotten a buggy trace readv for service. With that, the negro threw, away his crutch, cleared the railway, and departed through the woods just as fast as his legs could carry him.” The State: "We Democrats still have Thanksgiving and Christmas.” And let us all rejoice that November, the month of thanksgiving, has come. Miss Moilie Brown, of Filbert, spent Tuesday night with us. She was in quest of r good milch cow. and was trying to get to Mr. Jim Watson's. h< mg one or two cows for sale. Rev. W. T. Tho,. pson, of Gaffnev, spent Saturday night at Mr. J. W. Bolin’s. While there, he called at my home for a few minutes Satur day evening: but as I had gone out visiting, he failed to find me at home. So he came back as far as Mr. J. R. Hogue’s, where T was visiting, and stopped with us for a few minutes. T found Rev. Mr. Thnmnson very enter taining in conversation, and an in teresting gentleman generally. He eave me a self-pronouncing copy of the new Testament: a book, by'the wav. T have often felt In need of. (Now. gentle reader, don’t infer from this that I’ve not had the Book of Books always!) M-. Thompson in formed me that he had promised our (‘.liter to see me about some contemp lated improvements for The Ledeer: and I am pleased to know that Mr. DeCamp considers me enough of a newspaper rra.n to warrant his con sulting me about such matters. Al- thoueh we hadn’t much time in which *o talk it over, t tried to outline a scheme for the imnrovement of our naner. At some other time. T shall wrbo you at some lenr ,, h on this par ticular tonic. Be sure that I will do all T can for The Ledger. As these lines are befnir penned. I’m In a lollv mood—a lolly, hapnv. enthusiastic mood! So I’m ready for most anv sort of newspaper work Just now. “Thou hast beep called, O sleep! the friend of woe: But 'tis the hannv that have called thee so.”—Southey. Ah! what a truth is expressed in these lines! Ben Hope. Midway Items. Midway, Nov. 10.—Rev. Covington filled his regular appointment at Mace donia Sunday. Mrs. D. F. L.

He l^ails from Gouch er and is always a welcome visitor here. « Messrs. J. B. Brown. M. W. Little john and L. D. Bonner ail have some porkers to kill; and from what we can learn, they have some fine ones. The State Teachers’ Association will be held in Columbia, December 30-31 and January 1st. It is hgped all Cherokee teachers will attend the meeting. We were requested to make the announcement in The Ledger, and we do so with pleasure. We noticed in yesterday’s Ledger that the mail wagon had arrived, and it was thought Mr. Clary would use same that day (Friday). He did not make his appearance in the wagon yesterday, but we expect him today. Mrs. K. R. and Mrs. R. E. L. Go forth attended the burial of Mr. Ernest Robbins at Gaffney Thursday. Mrs. M. C.

In our last letter we reported two potatoes weighing six and three fouths pounds, when only one should have been reported, belonging to Broadus W. Brown. Our friend, whose name we withhold, reported to us Broadus had a big potato and wanted us to re port it in our letter, but not signifying what Broadus it was, caused us to report twice. What has become of “A.,” of As- bury? Old boy, give us a few lines, occasionally, from your section. Mrs. C. T. Chalk spent last Satur day. Sunday and Monday with rel atives at Asbury. Prof. Chalk, who is boarding with Mr. Dick Foster while his school is running at Kohoboth, returned home and spent over Sunday with his rel atives here.

Miss Addie says about 500 young ladies attended the meeting, all delegates from different parts .of the State. Mr. Willie Brown’s condition is about the same today.

Miss Mary Chalk, who represented Goucher as a delegate to the conven tion in Charleston, returned home to day. Rev. L. R. Gaines, of Gaffney, oreached the funeral of Mr. George Turner at. Rehoboth last Monday. The house was packed to overflowing and many stood around the windows trying to get a look at the coffin, covered with flowers. After the grave had been finished off and covered with beautiful flowers, enough was left to have covered another grave. Mr. Turner was a poor man. but the large gathering at his burial showed be was held in high esteem by his fellowmen. Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Wood, of Jones- ville, attended the interment of Mr. George Turner last Monday. Rev. J. W. Guv, of Pacolet, spent last night with Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Mathis and family.

Green, one of our hustling business mgn, has returned from a pleasant visit to Linwood College. The chaingang, aided by the road seraoe. has put our roads In good condition around here.
