the briars with her throat cut. It
was not long until a party headed
by officer Fowler and the ones who

Men from Other States.
Jotiesville, Juno 19th.?We had
a good shower of rain last Wednesday
whifch did much good for the
time iHiing hut another shower
would be quite a crept a hie. Most
farmers are getting out of the grass
but the cotton was lmdly crippled
by lying in the grass. There was
too much cotton on the ground
when it firet came up but after
I lying in the grass so long and then
ll?- * -
ocing chopped out in many fields
there is not enough cotton, too
much of it was cut up in cleaning
ijt, so there is poor prospects of a
good crop.
I returned from Ixmisvillc, Ky.,
last Saturday, our delegation all
returned except Mr. N. B. Eison,
who stopped over in Knoxvillc to!
visit relatives. The reunion was
largely attended and was a success, i
South Carolina did not have the
largest delegation in the reunion
hut she certainly was the most
notable of any state because Gen.
Steven D. Lee, the commanding
officer v and Gen. Win. E. Mickel,
Adjutant General, are lx>th South
Carolinians, and then Miss Lumpkin,
a South Carolina woman, was
the lion of the convention. The
speech she made was the speech of
the convention and she was cheered
as no other person was. 1 did not
meet as many Union county lx>ys
there from the West as I expected
but there were several there whose
names I will now give: Smith
Lipscomb from Bonam, Texas,
Jesse Robinson from Wolf City,
Texas, Bob Peakc from near Louisville,
Ky., Bob Howell, Northern
Mississippi, W. W. Edge, Alabama,
Bob Fowler, Mississippi, J. T.
Powell, Mississippi, George Buchanan,
Indian Territory, and Billy

many years ago and is well known

Reports of the veterans from the
cotton states are not encouraging
for a good cotton crop. The wheat
crop in Tennessee and Kentucky
looks fine to a South Carolinian,
hut the crop is not a tine one but
is fairly good.
I-ast Wednesday evening I)r. A.
S. Foster and Miss Mildred Lindsey
gave a party at Dr. Foster's
office from i) till 11 o'clock in honor
of Miss Annie iAura McDuffie of

decorated with Japanese lanterns,
potted and cut flowers. Games of
cards was the feature of the even-'
ing, followed by refreshments.

Quite a number of our people attended
the floral fair and parade at
Union last week and they speak
in pleasing terms of their reception
and of the whole proceedings as
one .giaiul and lieautiful. This
writer would have been present at

largest and grandest parades of any
reunion I ever visited on the same
day in Louisville.

Painful Accktent.
Mr. Frank Sanders had the misfortune
to break his arm Thursday
afternoon. Ho was riding on tho
fire wagon in the trades display.
He jumped off while the wagon was
in motion, lost his footing, fell

"HGHT YEARS IN HELL" j
Temperance Lecture by Mr.
Sol. P. NcCall.
laist Tuesday night at 8.iJO o'clock
in Baldwin's band park Mr. Sol.
I'. McCall delivered his famous
temperance lecture, "Eight Years
ill HclL" Mr. McCall is a brilliant
young man and a most eloquent
and forceful speaker. He is a reformed
drunkard and has delivered
temperance lectures in eight different
states. His lecture entitled "A
Drunkard's Fate" is said to he a
grand, gloomy and convincing exposition
of a drunkard's career.
| The lecture Tuesday night whs atl
tended by a large crowd of attentive
, and enthusiastic listeners. Mr.
MeCall is fulhr endorsed by judiciary
and clergy ot every state in which
he has lectured. He is very earnest
and sincere and paints in glowing
colors the life of a drunkard. If
one could he induced to reform,
certainly what McCall soys would
have that effect. A lecture like
that of Mr. McCnll's is good to
I>ave the way for prohibition all
over our land.
Court Proceedings.
The case of the Shite vs. Burt
Gregory charged with causing the
death of his wife by strichnine
poison was the most important and
interesting case tried at this term of
I the court. The trial consumed all
| of two days. The evidence was
principally circumstantial. The
solicitor was assisted by V. E.
j DePass, Esq. Attorneys James
i Monro and B. F. Townsend represented
the defendant. The jury
I returned a verdict of not guilty
alx>ut 9 o'clock Saturday night.
This case was quite adroitly and
vigorously prosecuted. B. F. TownI

of the ease, in the testimony adduced
and his argument was forceful,

his client in language worthy
the oratory of a Demosthenes.

A series of meetings will be held
at the Presbyterian church commencing

power, devoting half of his time to
evangelistic work in Enorce presbytery.
All the students have returned
from their different schools. The
last to return were Coy Jones and
Duke Falkenbury from Ilot Springs,
N. C., and Willie Hope from Wofford
eollege.
Mrs. W. D. Hope and children

relatives in York county. Before
they reached the homes of the

Pa., who is on a visit to his parents
Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Weir, has gone
on a visit to the home of his nativity,

A goodly number of our people
visited Union last week to take in
the floral festival. All appear to
lie well pleased at all they saw and
heard.
Mr. A. C. Weir has some revolutionary
relics from the historic
grounds of Abbeville county.
Among them is a six-pound cannon
hall and a musket liall found
near "Old Fort.

A Wonderful Saving-.
The largest Methodist church in
Georgia used 82 gallons of L. A M.
mixed with 24 gallons of oil, thus making
paint cost about $1.20 per gallon.
They calculated to use 100 gallons of
other paint. Saved almut $80.00, and
also got a big donatio n of L. A M.
Dealers gladly sell L. A M., because
their customers call for it, and say
they used it 12, 14 and even 80 years
ago.
Don't pay $1.60 a gallon for linseed
oil, which you do in ready-for-use
paint.
Buy oil fresh from the barrel at 80
cents per gallon, and mix it with L. A
M. Paint.
It makes paint cost about $1.20 per
gallon. Hold by Union Hardware Go.,
