CONVENTION AT ABINODONCHEEK A GOOD CONGREGATION ATTEND ED THE EXERCISES. Splendid Singing and Good Thinss to Eat Features of the Day—Elated With New Bridge Prospects. Wilkinsville, Feb. 9.—The North P&colet Interdenominational S. S. Convention met at Abingdon Creek church last Sabbath. Though the day was very unfavorable, yet a good steed congregation attended and the day and exercises were very much enjoyed. Messrs. A. G. Davis and R. J. W. Moss, of Kings Creek, conduct ed the singing, which was splendid and added much to the pleasure of the occasion. The ladies braved the cold wind and brought an abundance of victuals to feed the congregation, and took part in the exercises as they always do. The best of order pre vailed throughout the day and every one seemed to act as if upon him or her depended the success of the meeting. We are proud of the North Pacolet S. S. Convention. Only a few of the old soldiers met at Wilkinsville last Saturday, but mbst of them sent their dueg and re quested that their nafnes be enrolled. Those who failed to do so Arere given until the 20th inst., at which time the rolls and fees will be sent to the res pective headquarters. Mrs. Amanda Lee and grand child ren, Misses sRuth and Alice Lee, are spending a few days with relatives and friends on this side of Thickety. Our people on both sides of the river are much elated with the pros- 'of getting a bridge across Broad at this point. To the people of Gaffney, Blacksburg and different sec tions of the county we are indebted for the invaluable assistance they have given in urging our claims for the much needed convenience. In be* half of the people of lower Cherokee we say: Thank you! gentlemen, thank you! We are having some right cold ) weather and farm work Is progress- " ing very rapidly. Some plowing is going on and preparations are being made for the planting of a large com crop. We don’t believe the farmers of this county will ever lapse into the condition they have been placed in in years gone by if raising their own supplies will prevent it. On account of the immense des truction of com along the water courses last August most of them will have to buy com this summer, but a , lot of wheat has been sown and oats are being sown, which we hope .will relieve the situation later on. Miss Bonnie McCluney is urging her patrons to build another room to the school house. She hasn’t suffi cient room to make her school com fortable and yet aU the children of school age are not in school. At 10:30 o’clock last .Sabbath night J. L. Strain, N. P. was called-upon to marry a runaway couple, Ell Smith, of Gaffney, and Mary Davis, of Wil- Idnsville, both of them colored. Mr. H. B. McDaniel, of Hickory Grove, was on this side of the river yesterday. His mule, of which we have spoken heretofore, is improv ing some. Dr. Wm. H. White, the veterinary surgeon of Hickory Grove, is treating the case and he thinks it may yet recover. We hope so too. It’s a fine young mule and It will be a great loss vo lose it. Some dirty, low down scamp “hol lowed” at Mrs.‘Amanda Lee’s on night last fall and failed to tell his name or tell what his business was. Mr. Sam Lee was off with the gin but Mr. F. A. Goforth was there. When the scoundrel found out that Mr. Goforth was there he went away without say ing anything. Such nocturnal visit ors are likely to run amuck a shot gun, a buggy trace or a hangman’s rope if they are found out. The man who will prowl around people’s houses at night and fail to gtte his name or tell his business not be surprised at anything that |ht happen him. There is too much less going on the world for not to be cautious. About two years ago George Black wood told Sam Strain that be (Sam) had two daisies of hands—Bob Black- ,wood and Charlie Foster—hired. Tom Estes has a daisy now. They call him “Son” somebody, (we don’t know Alis last name). But from accounts he 'm certainly a “trqfh mover” when It comes to the thing called work. Sam Strain wants to know what “Uncle Sill” and “Aunt Mary” think of "Son.” If we ever find out we will let our Ledger readers known. When we asked Uncle Levi Wood, colored, one of our staunch Ledger readers, what he thought of a certain colored boy hired in the community his reply was: "You’ve heard of 'beats,’ haven’t you?” That’s all he said. We took the hint. Mr. T. Ben McCulloch, from down In the fork, spent last night with us. We regret to learn that Mr. W. R. Walker was seriously hurt one day last week by being thrown from his buggy by a frightened horse or mule, while on his way to Union. The weather has aagln modified and the plows are tanning sowing oats and breaking land. When we met Mr. James R. Service at the 8. S. Convention the other day tod told him we saw the notice of his married he replied:' *Tm sorry it is not the case; I have had no such good fortune to come my way.” We found out it was another J. R. Ser vice. Some good girl will do well to set her cap for Jim Service and catch him in her matrimonial net. We have but few such young men in Cherokee county as our James R. Service is, and we don’t think he should be al lowed to enter upon the bachelor roll. We are told that If girls were as par ticular in picking out husbands as they are fine hats there would be more happy homes In this country. That’s true. Rev. C. M. Teal did not fill his pul pit at Abingdon Creek last Sabbath, much to the regret of those of us who attended the convention. His absence was fully and satisfactorily explained by a letter he sent the church. He was called upon to make two hearts and lives one. We excuse you, Bro. Teal, of course. Mr. Teal has a host of warm friends in lower Cherokee outside of his own church member ship. Rev. J. R. Kirby, who is teaching the Gowdeysville school was with us and gave us great help in our work. "Annie Laurie,” please dont think we had lost Interest in you because of your temporary absence from The Ledger columns, xor we had not Though we did miss your letters very much. J. L. S.

Hood, who for many years has been identified with the business interests of Charlotte, was shot down by Mr. W. S. Biggers In front of the Central Hotel a few minutes after 9 o’clock this morning, and died within twenty minifies after the first shot. Hood never regained consciousness. Biggers made no effort to runaway and when several officers reached the scene shortly after the shooting, he was still standing near the body of his victim, holding the pistol in his hand. Biggers’ right arm was lost in a railroad accident some years ago, and he wielded the deadly weapon 'ibis morning with his left hand. There has been bad blood between lefine its duties. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: “Section 1. That from and after the approval of this act by the gover nor, a sinking fund commission be, and the same is hereby, created for the town of Gaffney, in Cherokee county, and said commission shall be composed of the mayor, treasurer and clerk of said town, and each shall give bond, for the faithful discharge of his duties, in the sum of ten thous and dollars, payable to the town of Gaffney, S.

Kennedy, pastor of the First Bap tist church of Columbia. Rev. Mr. Kennedy chose for his text these words: “He cannot return to me, but I can go to him.” A most touch ing and interesting funeral sermon was delivered and also a beautiful prayer by the preacher. Among the songs were: “Sometimes We’ll Un derstand,” “Safe in the Arms of Jesus” and while the congregation was viewing the remains, the choir, her many friends will be pleased to learn that she arrived safe at her des- '■Ination last Saturday. ‘ n *Wdi Birger, claimed that bearing securities? from time to time Hood had taken undue advantage of at a rat e 0( , nt e r e Bt not i e . s t hJ n per centum, and to keep a book Into which such annual levies and interest, to whom loaned, rate of IntereUc. when due and when paid, shall be en tered and kept.
