Well, today was prophesied for the great railroad strike, hut as I write j I hear that same distant sound and blowing of the approaching engtne y? it comes to the Junction. ! see no difference yet and I don't believe there will he any stopping of the trains. The railroad officials can't afford it, neither can their employes or operators. What would it mean to the world at large to stop transportation or traffic of the railroad system. It might means hundreds of suffering or starv- i ing people. If the strike was only to last a few days it would be felt the world over. My dear readers, I am not so much of an optimist on this line, you see. Well, isn't there so much to confuse the minds of the people, so much speculation and graft. I thought it was going to get better, but God only knows what else is to be talked of or what is going to happen. Mr. T. M. Tweed and I went to West Springs, in Bogansville township. Sunday, where we attended the singing convention held at the Baptist church at that place. This was universal singing the songs that were sung from the old singing books. The name Temple Harp and Christian Harmony. I noticed a few old books in the hands of some of those singers that had been kept by them, but the backs were worn olf. some of the leaves torn, but 1 thought about how sacred that book was to the owner, even if the hands of long ago hand worn. Then again those songs were just as sacred as when they were new. I will give some of the old names of the songs. Pisgah, Angel, Band. Je rusalem, Windham, Hosanna, Greenfield. Many other old songs, too many to mention. It would take too much space. These singers came from different parts of the county and many from Spartanburg county. Several counties were represented. They sang all parts, the top line being led by Messrs. T. .1. West, J. A. Lancaster and II. J. Shipman of Spartanburg. They sang the sharp notes and words. The choir was led by different ones, chosen as professional singers and leaders, each one taking his turn as the program was carried out. Many went as listeners. I'rof. Clinkscales of Spartanburg made an appropriate address for the ! occasion. Oh, I almost forgot to tell that 1 sat with an old gentleman who sang in the choir. He was 8.'1 years old and ' dn't have to use glasses. I thought it was remarkable. He could turn to he pages as quickly as anyone. His name is W. H. Barnette of Spartanburg. Now, I will tell you there was a bountiful dinner served with many good things to eat, which the good ladies had prepared. Mr. and Mrs. George Wood and Dr. G. W. B. Smith and wife have just | returned from a trip to Washington. I Miss Julia Wood of Cherokee county and Mrs. George Wood of Jonesville have gone to spend a while in the mountains of North Carolina.

About 2 o'clo^l I went to the elevator boy and askec him if Dr. Spratling had been to hi.office that day. lie told me the doc tor was at Camp Harris at Macon. ] II hen went home more worried thar ever. On Friday of the next week ] took money mv husband had left. witV me to take a trip to Tennessee to see my father, and came to Macon purposely to kill Dr. Spratling.

Mrs. Adams declined to say in detail just how her husband treated her, She said he threatened to quit her and often quarreled, after she told him of the attack. "I was weak and could not help myself the day I)r. Spratlinj made the attack," Mrs. Adams said. Asked why she finally told her husband of the attack, Mrs. Adams said she loved him so dearly and had worried about it so much, until she concluded she would be relieved if she would tell Mr. Adams the whole thing. Instead of believing her story and taking the information as she expected, Mrs. Adams said her husband went to pieces am/ began to talk about separation. She complains daily about not being able to get counsel. She says she wants an early trial and is confident that she will be acquitted.
