Jonesville, January 2d.?New Year's Day was as fair and lovely a clay as anyone can remember ever seeing, but today there is a change and we are having some rain. Last morning the little girl, Harriet, of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Jeffries, Jr., died of pneumonia. The little girl first had measles, Followed by whooping cough and then pneumonia. The remains were buried in the family burying ground near Asbury. On Wednesday night, Joe Foster Ir., and Marion Smith were handling a gun quite carelessly, and while the gun was in the hands of rimith it went off and the load entered the breast of Foster, and killed liim almost instantly. Coroner Gregory was notified and he came up and held an inquest, and the proof was so plain that it was an accident that the Coroner did not issue any warrant for Smith. This was our only Christmas casualty. A few boisterous and tipsy lx>ys were locked up for disorderly conluct. Otherwise We had a very luict holiday week. En the evening of Dee. 29th the K. of P.'s gave a banquet in the icw school building, which was the nost delightful social function loncsvillc has ever enjoyed. The ncnu consisted of three courses, consisting of pickles, celery, olives, ysters, turkey, salads, fruit cakes, diocolate, coffee, fruit, punch, ambrosia, cake. Dr. A. S. Foster was toast master. Dr. Jas. H. Thornwell, of Fort Mill, grand chief of records and seals, who was present by invitation, made a speech on Pythian Knighthood; Prof. H. W. Ackerman on our Anniversary, and Carrol H. Foster on Woman. Delightful music was Furnished on the riolin by Messrs. Allicrtson and W. F. M. Williams. Delicious punch was served in abundance. Sir. Goo. C. Perrin and Miss MilIred Lindscy presided at the punch bowl. The school will move into the lew school building tomorrow. A colored lxiy named Silas Worthy had his hand badly mashed in the oil mill some days since and I lis arm was amputated, mention of which has been made by this correspondent. The amputated arm was buried, and the boy rested well for awhile, and then he complained ind was very restless and could not deep well. He said the fingers on his buried arm were doubled up and that they hurt him and he complained so that his people went and took up the arm, and sure enough, the tinners were turned back, and they straightened them out and buried the arm again, and when they returned they found the boy :juiet and asleep and he never complained of bis fingers any more. While I write, a procession of colored people are marching through the streets, preceded by a band of music, celebrating Emancipation Day. There arc more women and children in the procession than men. Mr. Gray Gault has opened his store in his new brick building on Main Street. Mr. Carrol H. Fostor has resigned his position as lxx)k keeper for the J. J. Littlejohn Co., and will resume his law practice again. Mr. R. E. Littlejohn goes back to iiis'father's at Asbury, and will merchandise there. Mr. Boh Smith is with Mr. S. G. Gault this year. Miss Mollic Littlejohn retires From her clerkship for a much needed rest. Messrs. Wilkes and George Brooks, of Ravenna, are with the J. J. Littlejohn Co., the former taking an interest in the store. Mr. Will Farr is with Mr. D. L. McLaughlin, and Mr. Dan C. White is with J. W. Gallman. Mr. John Mabrey retires from his clerkship with J. L. McWhlrter. Dr. A. S. Foster is in his new and handsome dental office. Mr. B. F.

C., Dccemlier 31.? To the Cotton Growers of South Carolina: I would have written an account of the Shreveport meeting Ix'foro this, hut have been waiting to hear from the president of the national organization as to the final step to Ixi taken. This I give in today's issue. From the Rio Grande to the At lantic the farmers are fully alive tc the situation. The old spirit thai seemed to be prevalent, that everj other business was our enemy if passing, and the cotton farmer fully realizes that the present condition in which he finds himself is the result of his own doings. Every State in the cotton Ixdt is organizing for the purpose of holding cotton and reducing acreage ol cotton, and increasing acreage foi home supplies. Ix;t every farmei lyho has cotton hold it, and not duplicate in next year's crop. It is manifest to him if he stores this cotton, borrow8thc money on it and docs not duplicate it, another ycai will realize enough to pay him 7.1 to 100 per cent., besides giving hirr an abundance of home supplies. Again we must have a systematic reduction of acreage; sonic plan b) 11 n ng a nice line of . BLANKETS, > COTTON LFORTS : : : : and as warm as wool. D PORTIERS . CURTAINS, Rose.
