CHRISTMAS CASUALTIES.
Accidental Killing' of Joe Foster at
Jonesville.?The Pythian Banquet.?Emancipation
Day
Celebrated.
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. SMITH TO THE FARMERS.
The President of the South Carolina
Cotton Growers' Association Issues
an Address Calling for Further
Organization and Urging
that Cotton be Held.
Magnolia, S. 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)
