Boseman, of the Baptist Courier, was in Santuc Sunday and preached for the congregation of the Baptist church . His sermon was on prayer, and it was a good sermon. Had it been previously known that he was going to preach there might have< been a larger congregation, but this day it was one of the smallest, as the pastor, Rev. Mr. Pittman, usually has a large congregation. Young Malcolm Jeter happened to a very painful accident last w,eek when he had his leg badly cut by an axe, in the hands of a negro boy, who was helping him do some work. The cut is just below the knee joint, and a "ticklish" place. ? Dr. L. H. Thomas, who has been located here for the past several years, left for his new field at Branchville, 'ast week. Dr. Thomas was a good physician and the people regret that he has decided to leave us. He mar-> ried at this place, Miss Minnie Gilmore, two years ago, and so he takes away a native Santuc girl. Personally, I wish I)r. Thomas could have seen his business way clear to have remained with us. Now this section is without a resident physician, uivless Dr. J. T. Jeter could be persuaded to take up the work again, as the people will have to import one. Dr. Thomas said that he would subscribe to The Times. Mr. W. O. Jeter went to Columbia Sunday to see his brother, Mr. R. G. A. Jeter, who has been in the Columbia hospital for more than a week with a compound fracture of the leg, which accident happened at PenShoals, where the injured mAn had employment. This correspondent is in the toils of a very bad cold?and I have never had a Rood one and I am trying to sow some oats, and feel that I have a big job on my hands, in my condition. This morning I feel like a big bear, or some ugly thing has run me up a big hill and I could not run from it a mile further, but if a big bear was straight in behind me, perhaps I might scrape up energy enough to go a mile and a half. I don't know. I saw in the paper where a Georgia judge is sentencing some men for "pistol toting," and said he was going to ignore the fine, but would send them straight to prison, to stripes; i-u * * * * - - uiai [jinwi uiung naa 10 stop and he was going: to cut out the alternative of a fine. Those men were said to be men of good families. Well, if m*n of good families, white men, irK ofV* state carry pistols, .Wv^eed we' pect negroes, for instance^to..<;t?y; be more law-abiding. I see too,'that Attorney General Peeples was cleared of the charge of murder for killing the negro chef, and, well, I guess he was innocent of real murder, but how about the lawless carrying a lawless pistol. That he was carrying a pistol is no question of doubt. Had he been observing the law that negro's blood would not now be on his hand. There can be no excuse for the accident of killing a negro with a pistol away from the attorney gen-* eral's home, if he had not been a law breaker. So far as it concerns the dead negro. It could have been no more fatal than if Mr. Peeples had aimed point blank at him. He is a dead negro, the result of a certain degree of lawlessness, and that by a state official, other thaji a sheriff, or constables of some sort. Of the present regime, a supporter of the regime, which wants some action taken in regard to the concealed weapon law. But what is going to be done about Mr. Peeples "toting" one. Let "mum" be the word? Some time last fall two young negro men were standing in front of a store in this nlaco onH !">? - i ?"-J a kind of "make believe" falling out and one pulled a Coca-Cola bottle and said: "I"l shoot you," then drifted away, perhaps loafing, and all was forgotten, for-a time at least. Some time later two negroes got into a fight and knives were drawn and they were called to trial. The triul was at Union. The young buck of the Coca-Cola bottle episode happen-) ed to be a witness in the case, and against the big fellow in the Aght, and it seems a man who was deeply interested on one side in the Aght case reported the negro who pointed the bottle?a long time back, and he was taken up and tried then and there, without beintr ?hl*? * ? O"" ** witness, his employer (when he had one) thinking that he was guilty, did not go about him and he was convicted and sent to the chain gang, and on the evidence, I am told, "I thought (he had a pistol," and then it was too late for his boss man to help. him. No doubt there are white men carrying pistols, and say nothing, but would send up a negro on very flimsy offenses, if the negro crosses them at certain times; and it is not fair as regards the law, and it may make the negroes more respectful of the laV ou can't expect them to have due respect for law when white men above them will not, and it is no use commenting. I have been working around and . ? handling steain engines for quite a number of years, during periods of these years anyway. I like a good steam engine, and always endeavored to prevent or avoid accidents, and was running our own machine pulling a sawmill, before Christmas, and closed down one day for a two weeks period and I pumped the boiler full t>f water. When we were to start up again I built a good fire before opening up the water gauge, but alas! the check valves had become defective, and during the idleness of the boile?, had let nearly all the water leak out, and the roaring fire soon had the exposed flue-sheet very hot, and the whnle nf i?n ist.~ - ? ? ...www VA ?4VU vtavivtiu^ llliC a pile of com, and never did I get fire out of a place with more despatch I than I did then. But a bad leak had sprung around twenty-two flues. I saw that T was into it, so to speak, up to my neck. That there would be a big delay, that the cost of repairing by a machinist would be $15 or $20; but then we considered and bought a flue expander and rolled our own flues, and they did not leak a drop when we filled the boiler again. But if I live to work on engines much more. I will always take precaution to prevent valves leaking, when the engine is sleeping and never again fire up without knowing that water is there. Not thinking but knowing. Hey Denver. .IONF.SVIT T IT JONESVILLE, Jan 20.?General Lee's birthday was observed by the banks as a holiday but other business went on as usual. The John Hames chapter U. D. C. had a meeting in the afternoon. The chapter is contributing: to the Arlington monument which is to be unveiled soon. The Shiloh monument is also claiming a call for contributions to complete it and just now the veterans are solicited to make small donations for the monument to be erected at the grave of the late S. A. Cunningham, editor and publisher of the Confederate Veteran. It seems that we live in a day of monuments. Mr. Giles Burgess, who has lived about Jonesville most of his life, died at High Point, N. C., and the remains were buried at Gilead. Mr. Burgess had been twice married. His first wife was a Miss Holder and his second wife was a Miss Grant, who survives him with two small children. Well, the fashions of ladies dress for the next season is another stride for naughtiness, according to the deppifeners of the fashions of the Paris l^tage.., Tlfe front slash is not enough, ;but they are to have a slit up the back and the x-ray gowns are to be j more transparent and harem skirts are to have bigger hoons than ever before. The belles will wear leas clothes but they will cost more money. All this makes me think of something that happened a long time ago at the circus of old John Robinson at Union. The clown was named Sandy Long, and he entered the ring on horseback and began to spin around the ring; he was dressed in very shabby clothes and pretended to be quite awkard in horse back riding but soon he began to throw off, his clothes and every time he shucked off a suit the next one looked better for he had on several suits one over the other. After shucking off two or three suits and the crowd was yelling, and old maid who was sitting by some young girls thought she knew what was coming, hid her face and said, "Girls don't look, he's going to get naked." I think when the new ouyie.s come in 1 will feel like doing and saying the same as the old maid did, "Don't look, etc. The first quarterly conference for the Jonesville circuit will be held in the Methodist church here on Friday, January 30. There will be no service the day following as the P. E. will go o another appointment on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Roy P. Whitlock, of Landrum, were guests of Mr. Whit iock s mother on Sunday. Mr. G. M. Lane, who has been with the Farmers Hardware for some time has resigned his position and gone to Georgia. Mr. Henry has the position with the Hardware company. The widowers and bachelors club did some business last week. Two weddings in one week and fine prospects that more will follow. Mr. E. L. Eison is in our town the guest of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. N- B. Eison. Mr. Thomas Gore of thfe U. S. revenue service spent Sunday at his home here. Miss Sallie I.yhrand of the Textile Industrial school at Spartanburg, spent Sunday with relatives in Jonesville.
