Comments on the Proverbial New
Year's Resolutions—Tribute to
Gen. Hemphill—Other News.
Wilklnsville, Jan. 1.—With most of
us new resolutions are in order this
morning. Looking back over the
past year, and even our past lives
we see nothing but the debris of
wrecked resolutions to do better and
lead more orderly lives.
The trouble is, and has been, we
make the time too long. We are
very weak creatures at best and have
no control or influence over vthe un
born future. A year, a month, a
week, a day or even an hour is too
long a time for us to manage success
fully. But we can, with the prompt
ings of the proper spirit, control one
moment at a time. Let each conse
cutive moment as it comes to us bring
its own resolve to do better and lead
more consistent, orderly lives. If
this rule is adopted and strictly ad
hered to no regret will haunt us when
another new year arrives. Try it
friends, and hold us responsible for
results.
Mrs. Sallie B. Estes spent today
with Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Estes and
family.
Mrs. J. L. spent last Tuesday with
her daughter, Mrs. Jessie Blackwell.
Mrs. Lizzie Mitchell, of Hickory
Grove, and her children, visited
friends and relatives on this side of
the river thip week.
Messrs. Robbins and Cash, of the
Battleground section of this county,
went over on the York side last Mon
day and bought a load of pigs from
M)r. Jim Smarr. They went back
home Tuesday.
Mr. Sam Strain was on the tick
list last Tuesday and his assistant.
Mr. J. L. Blackwell, carried the mail
for him.
Christmas week has generally
been fine weather.
The death of General Robert Reid
Hemphill, which took place at his
home in Abbeville last Monday re
moves from the Aage of action one
of our greatest and best men.- Gen
eral Hemphill served as an officer
In the Confederate army, besides he
was a man of great literary attain
ment, a brilliant writer, a profound
scholar, and an agreeable companion,
with a knowledge of most of the im
portant events connected with the
history of our State both in peace
and war.
It was our good fortune to room
with him during one of the Confeder
ate reunions in Columbia a few years
ago where we made his acquaintance
and formed an excellent opinion of
him.
He descended from “Scotch Irish"
ancestry from which he inherited
many of the qualities that make it
proverbial for its brainy and brave
men and lovely, noble women.
It will be a long time before the
State has a man to fill the place of
Robert Reid Hemphill as fully, as
gracefully as he did in the several
capacities he was called to act.
“Eart has one spirit less,
Heaven one inmate more."
Peace to his fishes and calm to his
memory.
One night this week somebody
stole Rev. T. B. Owens’ horse and
Mr. W. Coleman Kirby’s saddle. It
is very reasonable to suppose the
two went together. We have heard
none of the particulars but suppose
some one well acquainted with the
premises of each of these gentlemen
is the guilty party.
For several years we have been
boosting of the quiet, orderly make
up of our neighborhood. But it seems
that it is not the case now if all re
ports are true. We are fully aware
that a reign of terror has existed in
certain places and with certain peo
ple that give emphasis to the spirit
of lawlessness. We are in position
to know that what we speak is true.
This country is badly in need of men
who are men to put an end to this
state of affairs. It’s a shame for
some things to be Jncft as they are
when they could be made otherwise.
Apparently some people think it
not to their Interest to interfere with
lawless mobs which operate in their
community and even in the presence
of their families. We have actually
heard men say they were afraid of
being “burnt out" if they exposed the
unlawful doings of certain characters.
That’s all the lawbreakers want to
know—that they are a terror to the
community in which they live or
choose to operate.
We pity such men, if they are worth
calling men, for they are to be pitied
—poor fellows.
Taken all together we have had a
delightful spell of weather during the
holidays.
Several people—especially child
ren—have bad colds and some of
these are bordering close on pneu
monia.
Mrs. Ethel Blackwell had several
of her friends to take dinner with her
last Thursday—the closing day of
the year, 1908.
By some mishap, several copies of
The Ledger failed to come last Tues
day. Not over one-half of the patrons
on the Wilklnsville route got their
Ledgers. This was perhaps caused
by some of the packages Intended for
Wilklnsville getting switched off on
some other route. Usually three
packages of Ledgers come to this of
fice and we understood Khat only one
came Tuesday. Your correspond
ent’s paper was among the missing
ones. But we have lived long enough
to know that accidents will happen
some timed with any of us, however
^careful we try to be.
Mr. and Mrs. Lowery Webber will
move to Sedalia, Union county, soon.
We hate to lose them from our com
munity but wish for them all the suc
cess and happiness they so richly
deserve. We commend them to the
people of Union county among whom
they have cast their future lot.
A few farmers have gone to work
preparing for another crop. Now is
your time for deep, close plowing,
brother farmers. Make every lick count
for something and you will find less
cause for complaining next fall and
winter. The merchant, printer, law
yer, banker, mill man and doctor all
put in full time and it tells in their
business in winding up the year’s
work. Lost time Is lost money.
We found Edward Littlejohn, one
of our colored Ledgerites, busy
Christmas Eve fixing up for a Christ
mas tree. Ed says he can’t do with
out The Ledger.
Rev. P. R. Davidson, colored, has
bis ministerial work nearer home this
year. He is a zealous worker in his
church and is always glad to help his
race to a higher and better life. If
we can only enlist the support of
such influential men as Rev. P. R.
Davidson, Edward Littlejohn, Newton
Burris, Randall Jones and a host of
others we might name among the
colored people to make it a point to
hunt up and express certain acts of
lawlessness going on about their
churches on meeting days they would
do much to help the officers of the
law to rid the country of a set of
nuisances both white and black. We
hope they will look at this as we do
and act accordingly.
No matter about the color of his
skin, the kind of clothes he wears or
who he is kin to—whether rich or
poor.
We intend, by the help of God, and
the support of the good law-abiding
people of both races, to make gamb
ling, razor, knucks and pistol boating,
selling whiskey and its long train of
concomitant evils too expensive a
luxury for any to indulge in. These
practices have become notoriously
prevalent in our country and we ask
all friends of law and order 'to co
operate with us and see that they are
put down.
Two shootings, one throat-cutstlng
affray, number of disorderly drunken
brawls and a horse and saddle stolen
go to make up the list of Christmas
week casualties, so far as heard
from.
Some low down, dirty thief entered
Mr. R. A. Foster’s house near Hick-
or} Grove last Sabbath and stole the
affol of a fine hog he had killed but
a day or two before. At last ac
counts he had heard nothing from it.
At the time of the theft Mr. Foster
and children were at Sabbath school;
his wife was visfclng her parents,
Mk. and Mrs. S. F. Estes, on this side
of the river and his mother, Mrs, Sal-
lie Foster, had gone to see a sick
lady in the neighborhood.
J. L. S.
Wilklnsville, Jan. 6.—To say that
the action of our county in truning
down the petition for a bridge at or
near Howell’s ferry is a great dis
appointment to our people is putting
it very mildly. They are not alto
gether hopeless so long as the York
county board stands by its generons
proposition to bear half the expense
and allow us to select the site.
The loss of their crops along the
rivers and creeks by the freshet last
summer has so crippled the farmers
that they can’t do what they would
otherwise have been able to do at
the present. The people of this sec
tion are determined to exhaust all
honorable means within their power
to build the bridge. In this it's safe
to say they are more determined now
than ever.
We have no feeling against the
board, neither cursing or criticising
of its action. We are fully aware It
has acted strictly in accordance with
the power vested in ft by law and that
our section is the victim of misfor
tune.
The Providence helps only those
who help themselves is an old and
true proverb no man will deny.
If we hadn’t thought we needed
the bridge and were entitled to it we
wouldn’t asked for it. Of one thing,
however, we are proud and that is
no unprejudiced or unbiased men in
the county, or elseweher have ever
said or thought that our request was
unreasonable. The board is the
trustee of the county and if it can't
see it’s way clear to grant our pe
tition we have the satisfaction of
knowing we have done all we could.
We learn that a mock court is to
be held at Wilklnsville soon to try
Jim Skates for slandering the mer
chants generally and one against
Enloe Dover for hunting and catch
ing possums In daylight without the
aid of dogs. Jim can, of course, get
a number of counsellors to repres
ent him without charge, but we
don’t know so well about Enloe, for
the possum hunters and dogs may
work for his conviction. It’s general
ly conceded that Enloe’s method
doesn’t give the possums a fair
chance. He looks for their dens
which he Indicates by the hair left
at the entrance. They sometimes
climb trees and den In them. These
Enloe tracks by the way they split
the bark with their claws climbing.
The squirrel, Enloe says, pulls the
bark off, while the possum does not
He has long known this he says, but
we never did.
If the Nimrod of olden times could
come back to this world he would
learn something about hunting we
don’t suppose he ever knew. Enloe
caught a possum a few days ago
which weighed twelve pounds. He
tracked it to it’s den and dug It out.
He never takes a dog with him on
a possum hunt, has no use for It.
Messrs. Tom and Jess Kirby, af
ter spending the holidays at home
with their parents, returned to Clem-
son last Saturday.
Mrs. Sallie Mitchell and family, of
Hopewell, have moved to the home
they bought near Tirzah. We hate
to lose them from our community.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Comer, of
Union, spent last week with rela
tives and friends in lower Cherokee.
Most every one you meet has a
bad cold, but there Is no serious
sickness in this community that we
know of.
The fox hunters made things lively
last week. Reynard must hunt new
quarters If he expects to have any
rest soon.
People keep moving about. There
are several still to move In this sec
tion.
Mr. E. F. Kelly, of Jonesville, Is ad
vertising a lot of lands for sale. His
circulars are being distributed gen
erally over the county.
The State legislature meets next
week and we expect some lively de
bates on different bills that will
come before It.
Some of our neighbors who have
been engaged in cotton raising will
turn their attention to raising pattle.
They say that cotton cannot be made
for what it brings on the market.
That’s right, gentlemen. Rest your
land and reduce your expense. It
will pay you.
No arrangements have yet been
made for preaching at Salem this
year that we know of.
Prof. Madison Sarratt, of Gaffney,
and his sister, made a visit to friends'
on the York side of the river last
week.
At the Wilklnsville school house
next Friday Miss Craig’s pupils will
have a debate. We understand the
query reads thus: "Resolved; that
ft is better for the United States to
reclaim the swamp lands in the
South than to irrigate the arid
lands of the West.” This is the sense
of ft anyway.
It’s a good subject and If our Na
tional legislators would give it more
consideration, their time at the cap-
ftol would be better spent than in
discussing a great many questions
that come before it.
That the South is yet to be the
money producing centre of the world
there isn’t a particle of doubt. It’s
that now If our people were in posi
tion to control it. New Englands has
found this out long ago and Its mon
ey is pouring in wherever it finds
a place for Investment, and It will
continue to do so, as time rolls on.
For agriculture In Its several depart
ments, we have a soil and a climate
that surpasses any other section on
the American contiment.
It has been satisfactorily demon
strated that we can raise nearly, if
not all the necessaries of life we
need. Our own people are solving the
problem. When a bale and a half
to two bales of cotton; fifty to one
hundred bushels of corn; three
hundred bushels of potatoes or two
and a half tons of hay can be made
on one acre of land, Its time for us
to realize what advantages we have
over other countries and how better
we, appreciate them. This is no
vogue dream—Its a reality.
Girls, those of you whose matri
monial aspirations failed last year,
don’t be disheartened. You will have
another chance in 1912. By that
time the plea of your being too
young will perhaps not be interpos
ed.
We spent Monday and part of yes
terday in Gaffney where we met
many friends and acquaintances from
different parts of the county.
If some comrade or friend who
can give the company and regiment
of Willis L. Linder, of the Confede
rate ary, will drop Mr. W. R. Tan
ner, of Cowpens, a card to that ef
fect he will confer a favor on the
widow of the deceased Confederate
soldier, who lives in Charlotte, N.
C. Mr. Linder, we understand was in
the Western army during the war,
but his widow don’t know the regi
ment. J. L. S.

YOUNG WOMEN ARRESTED.
Taken to Walhalla to Testify In a
Murder Case.
Greenville, Jan. 5.—Misses Essie
and Blanche Pool, two young ladies
who live near Walhalla, were arrest
ed in this city yesterday morning by
Deputy Sheriff V. W. Mitchell, of
Oconee county, and were taken to
Walhalla yesterday afternoon to at
tend the inquest over the dead body
of Mann Phillips, who was murdered
last Thursday night.
Cleo and Dewit Vandiver, two
young men of Westmini&er have
been arrested, charged with the
murder of Phillips. It is thought
that the two Pool girls, who were ar
rested in this city yesterday, were
with the Vandiver boys when the
killing occurred. The young women
did not seem to object to returning
to Walhalla to the coroner’s inquert,
but positively refused to make any
statement here concerning the kill
ing.
The young man, who was killed,
drove for a livery stable in Walhalla
and ft seems that on Thursday night
he was engaged to drive a hack for
the two Vandiver boys from West
minster to the home of Mrs. S. M.
Pool, near Walhalla, where they were
to get two of the Pool girls to take
to a dance. Some time during the
night or early the following morning,
there was a row, supposedly at or
near the Pool house, and ft is sus
pected that Phillips was stabbed by
one of the Vandiver boys. The
wound was a small one, but deep,
the weapon having penetrated the
heart to the depth of an inch, and
death must have been instantaneous.
The team was driven back to West
minster by the Vandivers, and turn
ed into the stable, but nothing was
said about the absence of Phillips.
One of the Vandivers was arrested
on Sunday and lodged in jail.' The
other was found at the home of a
relative later and taken to Walhalla
Monday.
It is stated that the foot prints of
a man and a woman led to the pros
trate form, as though it had been
carried by them, but the tracks lead
ing away from the body indicate that
the supposed man and the woman
separated, one going toward the pub
lic road, the other toward the house.
The body lay undiscovered from Fri
day until Sunday. The gruesome
find was made Sunday near Walhal
la by J. J. Johnson, a negro preacher.
Driving along the road west of town,
leading from Walhalla to the county
poor farm. Johnson noticed a short
distance from the road across a small
stream and some thirty feet from a
tree, an object which he took to be
a fallen scare-crow. He passed on,
giving the object only casual notice.
As he returned, however, his atten
tion was again attracted by the pros
trate inamlmate thing. He stopped
and looked more closely. Going to a
white man, he told him of his sus
picions, and asked him to accompany
him to make an examination, but the
white man, Thomas Graham, refused
to go. Johnson notified others, who
joined him and Graham, and when
the object was reached it was found
to be the body of a man lying face
downward, his elbows bent so as to
throw the hands up near the face,
the weight of the body being sup
ported on the two open palms and
one side of the face.
The exposed portion of the face
was swollen and discolored, but that
part which had lain against the earth
was in natural color, and as soon as
the body was turned over it was dis
covered that ft was that of Mann
Phillips, a young man who had been
driving for a livery stable in West
minster.

There is a nice balance in the
treasury, and the Knights are with
one accord, enthusiastic over the
prospects for 1909. Past Chancellor
Commander Gunter predicted that
the year 1908 would result in 50 per
cent Increase in the membership of
Limestone Lodge and his predict
ions have been more than verified. It
is urged that every member be pre

MARRIAGE IN DARLINGTON.
Mr. W. F. Twltty Weds Mlse Mar
tha Du Bose Woods.
The following marriage notice
from the Darlington correspondent
of the Columbia State will be of lo
cal Interest, as the groom, who was
formerly of Spartanburg, is well and
favorably known here:
“A wedding ceremony performed
in the Methodist church here Sun
day evening, which made one the
lives of Mr. Weldon F. Twltty and
Miss Martha DuBose Woods, at
tracted an unusual amount of inter
est and attention.
Mr. Twltty is quite a prominent
young business man of this city,
holding the position of assistant sec
retary and manager of the Darling
ton Manufacturing company, a large
manufacturing plant Of 52,000 spind
les. Mrs. Twltty is the daughter of
Mr. John Woods, one of Darlington’s
former mayors, during whose admin-
istraion the fire department of the
city had its inception. The fire en
gine, ordered during the lifetime of
Mr. Woods, did not arrive unto the
day after his death, but the honor
of christening this formidable antag
onist ‘of the fire fiend fell to his ac
complished daughter. As a token of
the esteem in which Mr. Woods was
held the department is represented
among the beautiful gifts to the pop
ular couple by one which bears the
card, “When in trouble, ring Box No.
18.”
The church was simply but beau
tifully decorated. Rev. A. S. Thomas,
of Cheraw,“ performed the ceremony.
Mr. and Mrs. Twity left. the same
evening for Florence in an automo
bile, where they took a train for an
extended Northern trip of several
weeks, after which they will be at
home in Darlington."
The friends of Mr. Twltty here,
as elsewhere, wish for him and his
fair life-partner all the sunshine and
happiness this world can afford.
Marriage in Gaffney.
At the residence, of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Bryant,
on Grenard street, Tuesday, Decem
ber 29th, at high noon, Mr. Will Jag-
gers and Miss Katherine Bryant
were united in marriage by Rev. A.
C. Cree, former pastor of the First
Baptist church of this city.
The ceremony was witnessed by a
number of relatives and friends of
the contracting parties. The parlor
was tastefully decorated for the oc
casion.
The bride wore a becoming tailor-
made gown of blue material with
hat and gloves to match. The groom
wore a handsome suit of brown.
Immediately after the ceremony
Mr. and Mrs. Jaggers left the city
for their home In McAlister, Okla.
The bride is the youngest daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Bryant,
and is a semi-brunette of striking
appearance.
The groom is a young business
man of McAlister, Okla., formerly a
native of Chester county. He was at
one time a resident of this city. His
many friends are warm in their con-
granulations.
A large crowd went to the depot
to bid Mr. and Mrs. Jaggers good
bye, and showered rice upon them
In profusion.

REN.
When Taken Suddenly III—Here is a
Common-Sense Safeguard.
m strong man is as a helpless in
fant when he is suddenly ill.
The sturdiest chap in town usu
ally loses his self control, and is ut
terly unable to regard his condition
with the common sense that char
acterizes his every-day actions.
For example: He comes home
tired, eats a heavy dinner and sits
down to read and smoke away a
quiet evening.
Suddenly he notices a weight on
his stomach; then sharp pains around
his heart, and a feeling of suffocation.
Thoughts of “heart disease” rash
over him, and in his agony he fears
the worst. •
His trouble was acute indigestion,
brought on by overloading his tired
stomach.
A couple of Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets would have given him Instant
relief—would *have saved him hours
of suffering.
Carry a package of Rexall Dyspep
sia Tablets in your vest pocket or
keep them in your room. Take one
after each heavy meal, and indiges
tion can never bother you.

stomach troubles by supplying the
one element, the absence of which
in the gartlc Juices, causes indigee--
tlon and dyspepsia. They enable the
stomach to digest all kinds of food
and to quickly convert it into rich
red blood.
