Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Brown delight ed a goodly number of their friends at home la& Saturday night with a singing. A good crowd was present, and good music was rendered by the musicians present.

Warm Words in Behalf of Editor of Tri-State Odd Fellow. The following item from the “Diocese” of this month will be of interest to Gaffney Odd Fellows, in asmuch as Capt. Neatherry direct ed the installation exercises of the order in this city: It gives us pleasure to quote the following tribute to our genial busi ness manager, Capt. J. K. P. Neath erry, from the ‘Odd Fellow’s Talis man,’ a very high-class magazine published in Indianapolis, Indiana: “The editor of the Tri-State Odd Fellow, who has made that paper one of the best in the Order, has grown weary of well doing (on a diet of wind pudding) and resigned. Having declared his belief that ’half a loaf Is beter than no bread,’ he is now looking for some position in which he can secure the half. “Some months ago he headed his editorial columns with this sugges tive conundrum: Tf all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, what sort of a man will all work and no pay make of Jim?’ “Evidently the subscribers and publishers didn’t answer the query aright, probably ‘gave it up.’ So has he, and the fact that he has been compelled to do so does not reflect credit upon the Order in that section of the country. Such editorial abil ity as he possesses is worthy of sub long and prosper in fresh fields and pastures new, where his efforts and ability will be appreciated.’ “This is well deserved, for the edi tor of The Tri-State Odd Fellow ably conducts a most interesting, high- toned and elevating paper. His last issue, entitled the ‘Christmas Num ber,’ is especially fine, and reflects great credit on the editor and honor on his Order.” Capt. Neatherry made soma warm friends while in Gaffney who wil heartily endorse the sentiments era bodied in the above tribute to his abilities. INQUEST IS HELD. NEW HOTEL PROBABLE. Committee Is In New York To Meet Capitalists. Spartanburg, Jan. 5.—One of the good things that is in sight for Spartanburg in the year 1909, is a splendid new hotel building. It can not be stated at this time at what period of the presen’i; year work on the hotel will begin, though it is firmly believed that operations will be started in the near future. With the view of securing a mod em hotel for the city, W. E. Burnett, president of the chamber of com merce; D. D. Little and John A. Law, members of the hotel commit tee of the chamber of commerce have gone to New York, where they will confer with capitalists with ref erence to the hotel proposition. The Spartanburg delegation went to New York prepared to submit a definite plan and to offer $50,000 toward the capital stock of the hotel. It will be recalled that New York capitalists agreed to furnish $150,000 for the hotel provided the people of Spartan burg raised $50,000. This amount has been subscribed. If everything goes well in New York the committee will return to Spartanburg the latter part of this week with the news that all the de tails have been completed for the hotel. Verdict of Jury is That Mann Phillips Was Killed by Cleo Vandiver. Walhalla, Jan. 5.—The verdict of the coroner’s jury was that Mann Phillips came to his death at the hands of Cleo Vandiver and that De witt Vandiver was accessory. This verdict was reached after more than twenty-five witnesses had been sworn in the presence of the largest crowd that ever gathered in Oconee’s court house. None of these were eye-witnesses, but most of them stated only what the Vandiver boys had told upon their return to West minster on Thursday night with Phil lips missing. Many of the witnesses stated that Cleo Vandiver had told them that he had had a row with Phillips and had knocked him out of the hack, had jumped upon and knifed him, that Phillips had gotten up and walked away. Dewitt Vandiver had a sev ere cut on one of his hands and had stated that the brother had cut him in his endeavor to get to Phillips. Little did the witnesses dream at the time that Phillips was lying dead several miles away. Phillips and the two Vandivers had left West minister together, Phillips driving the hack. They had gone to a dance and had Parted home when a row was raised, about what no one has told. All three are said to have been more or less under the Influence of liquor. Solicitor Boggs represented the StaVe at the inquest and Maj. W. J. Stribling and Col. R. T. Jaynes the defendants. What the defense will be is not known. It Is going to be a hard fought case. Interest is in tense and immense. CILFTON CHRONICLES. A Newsy Letter from Our Regular Correspondent Clifton, Jan. 6.—For the first time in six months, your correspondent was “sent out” from his work this morning “to res’.” today in order to give another the opportunity of a day’s work. Since the holidays have passed the people seem to be filled with a greater spirit for business Vhan ever before—all eager for work. How long this anxiety is to last we don’t propose to say, but if Vi will only continue we shall feel Vhat a new era has dawned with the New Year. Strange to relate but true to the letter, Christmas passed whhout displaying the disgusting effects of “strong drink.” When have we been able to make such a statement before? Several marriages occurred during the joyous season. One of which was the happy union of Capt. P. C. Hund ley, the hu&ling manager of the Company store at Clifton No. 1, and Miss Edna Darwin, late of Blacks burg, but who for two years past, has been the wide awake and ef ficient principal of the school av this place, which she, assisted by Miss Louise Goudelock, of Gaffney, re opened yesterday. To Captain and Mrs. Hundley, and all of Cupid’s victims, we extend our warmest con- gn. ’Rations, and wish for them bright and prosperous futures. We conclude that love has become stronger than strong drink. The writer was the happy recip ient of a number of presents during the holidays, and for one of which he feels truly obliged, to Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp, the generous and affable editor of The Gaffney Ledger, for his kindness in sending such a high ly appreciated gift, but feels himself ashamed that, owing to various hind rances, he has, till the present, neg lected acknowledgement of his thankfulness and appreciation. Rev. J. G. Huggins filled his ap pointment at the Methodist church Sunday, and delivered an able dis course on Acts 1; 6,7,8 verses. He is one of your Cherokee county boys, and one of whom we think the good people of your county should feel themselves justly proud. Though a comparatively young man, as yet, he possesses the highest marks of men tal culture, coupled with all the vis- able characteristics that constitute a Christian gentleman. People keep moving (changing homes) hunting for better places and remunerative jobs, while we be lieve that those that settle down and “stick to” work do as well, or are saved of a considerable amount of trouble and expense. We have of ten heard that “a rolling stone gathered no moss,” and we believe that that maxim is true. The Clifton Company has had a great many dwellings re-roofed of late, which adds much more to the comfort of their occupants S. THE WASH HUNTER CASE. Appeal to Be Heard in the State Su preme Court Today. Laurens, Jan. 4.—G. Wash Hunter and a number of Laurens attorneys are in Columbia for the case of the State vs. G. Wash Hunter in the su preme court. This case is a very in teresting one In that the defendant has been tried several ’times, two or more times in Laurens and once in Greenwood. Hunter killed Elbert Copeland, near Clinton. The sen tence of eight years was passed on him at Greenwood. Hunter Is of a good family and was a prosperous farmer. GARRISON WILL SURRENDER. Divorce. (Washington Post.) It is the history of diverse that it has increased just in proportion as the status of woman In society has Improved. There is practically no divorce where woman Is a chattel. But where she is the freest, where she has won the recognition of her rights and before the law is almost man’s equal, there divorce Increases coincidently with the change in her status. It is significant that in the United Ptates, where women are pro bably the freest in the world, nearer men’s equals under the law and of rapidly Increasing importance in in dustrial affairs, the divorce records show that in three-fourths of the cases women are the applicants for divorce. In a way 'the divorce law of today is woman’s protest against the medieval theory of man’s ab solute mastership, which persists in many variant forms. What the solution of the divorce problem will be can not be predicted upon the present scanty data, and it can nefc be solved right until it la recognized that it is as much a socio logical aa an ethical problem. Far- reaching investigation must precede any Intelligent attempt to provide an adequate remedy, and in the mean time conservative opinion will wait until all the ftc&s are available, con' ▼Inced that there la, as usual, two sides to the great question, and that both are worthy of careful consider ation. One thing at least is evident, and that la that the manifest trend in the evolution of ethics today is toward one single moral standard for Aka and vfomin, for husband and 6. Y. Foster afld G.

Columbia, Jan. 5.—Henry Garrison, of Laurens, sentenced to two years at hard labor in the penitentiary is in Columbia and will surrender him self to the penitentiary authorities to begin his service. He was con victed on October 2nd, 1908, of man slaughter with a recommendation to the mercy of the court and sentenced by Judge Memminger. On July 31, 1908, Garrison shot and killed Louis Williamson. The homi cide occurred at the home of Garri son in Gray Court, Laurens county, where Williamson was visiting as the suitor of Miss Mary Garrison, who testified at her father’s trial that she and Williamson were engaged to be married. Garrison asserted that he discovered that Williamson was tak ing undue liberties with the young lady as they sat together on the sofa in the parlor, and that he shot him with his shot gun through the open window near which the couple were sitting. An Example for His Race. Gaffney, Jan. 5th, 1909. Editor Ledger:—Allow me a lit tle space in your paper for a few lines. I want to say that we have had a merry Christmas, and now we are preparing for another year’s work. I hope the Lord will bless us this year, and especially those who try to do His will. On the 2nd day of this month Rev. B. B. Bridges celebrated ihe thirti eth year of his marriage. He mar ried Jan. 2nd, 1879. At 1 o’clock the celebration took place. Early in the morning the vehicles began to roll in. At half past 1 o’clock Rev. Bridges made a biography of his life, after which his son, Joseph, played “There’s not a Friend like the Lonely Jesus.” By this time Mrs. Bridges served notice that din ner was ready and awaiting. The table was loaded with many good things too numerous to mention. Rev. Bridges lives three miles South of Gaffney, on a beautiful place that be recently purchased, and is nicely beautifying it with nursery trees and such like. He is an example for many of his race.

Of the UHiny interesting machines employed by the government In its dally work there may be mentioned those used for counting and tying postal cards into small bundles. These machines are capable of counting 500.- 000 cards in ten hours and wrapping and tying them in packages of twen ty-five each. In this operation the pa per is pulled off a drum by two long fingers which emerge from below, and another finger dips in a vat of mu cilage aad applies itself to the wrap ping paper in precisely the right spot. Other parts of the machine twine the paper round the pack of cards, and then a thumb presses over the spot whereon the mucilage has been ap plied, whereupon the package is thrown on a carrying belt ready for delivery.—Minneapolis Journal. Then He Subsided. “I have made It a rule through life,” he said at the table the other day to a man at his left, “never to meddle with another man’s business.” ’That’s right—perfectly right,” was the reply. “But I see you have a new confiden tial clerk.” “Yes, sir, yes.” “He’s a hard looking case, i have seen him intoxicated a ddzen times, and I wouldn’t trust him out of my sight witli a sixpence.
