MOseley Items,

Appointments and disappointments are
still the order of the day. The latter
especially describes what Mr.. Albert
Bowie felt the other day when he was
down here looking for the town and in
curing for the Moseley correspondent.
No, our place is not as large as Augusta
vet, but despite the fact that some Of our
people have left recently, some to Au-
gusta, to Mississippi and to Texas, while
others say they ure going next fall, yet
we cling to our belief that Barnes will
some day be a town that we will all be
proud OF. Come down again, Mr.. Albert,
stay as long as you please and leave when
you get ready.
Mr. Charley Watson from Deans pass
ed through here yesterday On his way to
Lowndesville.
Tho grist mill purchased by w. T.
MCGEE is now in good running order,
and he will be pleased to serve his friends
and customers every Friday.
B. A. Wiles, after spending two months
here with his relatives and friends, re-
turned to Mississippi last week, where
he will reside in the future.
Capt. W. G. Hancock left last Wednes-
day a. m. for Augusta, Ga, where he
will take charge of the Electric Line.
But we expect to see him again OCCASION
ally, because there is young lady near
here who we will not accuse of breaking
bis heart but just cracked the veneer
ing" Guess you know, Mr.. Editor,
what mean, hut if you don't do.
Mrs. Robt. Gray who has been i'll with
pneumonia for several days is better at
this writing.
here the 1st inst. for Jefferson, Texas,
where she will join her husband, he
having gone there early in December.
They leave many friends and relatives
who wish them prosperity In their new
home.
Our Messrs. Smiths are being annoyed
by something which they say looks like
an old mule that is constantly being
hltcLed in front of their place of business
where he ia left for several hours at
time. They have reported to the COM
mittoe for the prevention of cruelty to
animals, and somebody about the size Of
Mr.. F. S. had better be little more con-
siderate in the future.
In connection with what has been said
about the dispensary in the various news
papers, we beg to offer the following sug-
gestion: Start a dispensary in your own
house, be the only customer and you will
have no license to pay. Go to your wife
and give her 50 to buy gallon of whis-
key, and remember there arc sixty
drinks in gallon. You make it your
business every time you are thirsty to
buy drink from yonr wife, and by the
time you have drank up the 1st gallon
your wife will have the 50 to pay you
back, 50 to put in the bank and 81 to start
in business again, and should you hap
pen to live ten years and continue to buy
booze from your wife and die at the ex-
piration of that time with the snakes in
to bury you decently, buy good house
and lot, educate your children and marry
some respectable man, and never be
bothered thinking about you. Try it
and see how the thing will pan out.

The snow has about disappeared and
we are having some fine weather just
now. We have bad so much bad weather
that very little work has beon done,
especially in the preparation for our
crops. We have had only one day in
three weeks that would do to plow. But
the weather has changed, it is like spring
now, and corn planting time will soon be
here. Some OF our farmers talk of plant
ing next week.
Some think that The recent cold snap
has killed the fruit, but we hopo they are
mistaken. I don't think that the buds
were far. enough advanced for The cold
wave and 1 don't think either that 1t was
cold enough to kill fruit in the bud.
Mr.. S. A. Jones has done some excel
lent terracing on his place this winter.
He doesn't do things by halves when he
goes at it. And if you want to see some
good terraces drive around and take

Mr.. j. p. Anderson has been to F0un-
tain Inn, Grcenville County, recently to

past been in bad health. Io says that
she is not expected TO live long. Her
many friends will regret to hear that she
is no better.
Mr.. w. T. Cook, after spending the
winter at his fathers III Bowersvllle, Ga,
has. returned and will make his home
with us this year. He reports pleasant
stay on the Georgia side.
Miss Jane McLees, an aged lady of this
community, died last week. Her re-
mains were inferred in tho Roberts
cemetery ON Saturday afternoon ut 3
o'clock, the Rev. r. G. Ligon conducting
tho funeral services. She had long been
CONSTANT member of Roberts Presby-
terian Church.
Our friend Mr.. "Grit' wants better
roads, but think he is going the wrong
way to get them. Why should we have
road tax to hire labor to put our public
highways in good condition, when we
can have it done with convicts that we
can not only get but really belong to The
county, and all the county would have to
do is to board and clothe them and pro-
vide convict camps and guard. who could
also answer as overseer. The cost Of
establishing and maintaining such camps
would be over paid for by good public
highways. And as our new county gov
ernment law is to come into operation
next year we should try, and not only
try, but get the convict labor that rightly
belongs to the county. think Mr..
"Grit' will agree with me al nnt the con-
vict business, and SO let us hear from the
other correspondents about utilizing the
convicts for county purposes.

He Loved the Sister.

GREENv1LLE, S. c., February 2S.-A
shooting scrape took place on Monday
night twelve miles above Greenville,
near Travellers Rest, which may result
in the death Of an excellent young man.
Rufus Nix, who is addicted to whiskey,
had been paying attention for some time
to Miss Poole. Her mother objected to
his attention aud forbade his visiting her
house. On Monday night Jerry Haw-
kins gave party and Nix, Miss Poole
and her two brothers were present. Mix
was attentive to the girl and her brother
went to her and took her away to another
part of the room. Nix was enraged and
swore he would lick the whole Poole
layout. The Poole boys went out to
hitch up their horses to go home and Nix
followed them into the yard. just what
took place no one knows, only Nix was
very profane and abusive and drew his
pistol and commenced firing at Walter
Poole. Three bullets took effect, one in
the stomach, which may cause death /;
one in the breast, and the third made a
slight flesh wound. The Pooles were
unarmed. Nix has not yet been arrest

A CARD.

We announced couple of weeks ago
that wo had placed orders for a full line
of Paints, Oil and Glass. We desire to
say now that the goods are in stock.
Our purpose is to do part of the business,
not by cutting prices and destroying what
little profit there is in it, but by keeping
in stock, as nearly as we can find it out,
what the people want, and in such quan.
titles that when the color Is selected and
the contract given out, the Paint can be
had without delay.
Of course We don't expect to sell all the
Paint sold here, or even nearly all of it.
No one concern can do that. Nor do We
ling good Painu and plenty of it. We
don't claim to sell Paints cheaper than
our competitors can buy them, for the
truth of the matter is they can buy as
cheap as we do; but We do claim to han
die as good Paint as anybody, and that we
will ssll it as cheaply as you can buy it
here, or get it elsewhere and ship it IN.
We mean business, and if you don't be-
lieve it try US.
Men say "Yes, my house needs paint
ing, but can't afford to have it done now.
1t is true the rain and wind are wearing it
away, and it is rotting and going to ruin,
but times are too hard, and besides Paint
is Luxury that only the rich can afford to
enjoy !"
Your children need shoes. ycu need a

headed because times are hard and the
rich wear shoes and hats? Cf course not.
Then Why let your house rot down for
want of Paint? You say, "Oh. it. costs so
mnch." How do you know? Have you
ever investigated the matter, or tried to
find out how much it cosh7 If not. do
so. The result will surprise you. And if

Death OF Gen. Jubal A. Early.

LYNoHBURa, VA, March 2.-United
States Senator John w. Daniel walked
into the News office at IL O'Clock tonight
and in q sad voice announced that his
old commander, Gen. Jubal A. EARLY, at
whose bedside lie. had been a constant
watcher for some days, had gone to bis
eternal reward. Gen. Early died at 1890.
He passed away quietly in the presence
of his family and physician, his kindred
and several intimate friends.
The old General seemed aware of his
approaching end early in the day. Be-
fore noon he called for the morning pa
per as was his invariable custom, and
attempted to read, but found that his
sight was falling. Soon after he extended
his hand to Senator Daniel and calmly
said: s'I want to tell you goodbye, Ma
jor." He then bid his nephew, Cabell
Early, farewell, after which be fell into q
quiet slumber. Later in the day the
dying veteran asked Senator Daniel not
to leave the room, as he wanted to talk
with him about certain arrangements |;
but from that time he suffered such in
tense pain that he did not revive the SUBJ
ject. He met death unflinchingly, with

The South is evidently getting square.
Taking all the textile industries into ac-
count, 172 new mills, employing l3, 16O
persons, were erected in 1893, US against
272 mills, employing $4,000 persons,
erected in 1902. There were 73 cotton
mills and 40 wooden mills in last years
lot, and nearly all were constructed dur
ing the first half of the year, when there
was great activity in the textile indus
tries. The south is mainly interested in
cotton. In the period from 1890 to 1892
the New England States gained 1,509,9O9
spindles, the Middle States 4S,598, the
Western states 6s,77O and the Southern
states 1910. In this gain Massachusetts,
shows 1,023,226 spindles. But statistics
for 1893 tell different story. The record
shows q mills with lS3,lOS spindles
erected in the South, as against Is new
mills with $4,000 spindles in New Eng
land, fine comparative showing. The
South is competing closely with the
North in cotton manufacture as we'll as

SELMA Ala, Feb. 27.-A horrible
accident occurred this evening at o'clock
in the rear Of Oberndorf Ullman's dry
goods house, on Broad street, in which
ed Martin, colored, lost his life. He
assembled the electric light pole to cut the
wire to remove one of the boxes when,
although twice warned by Mr.. Smith, the
foreman, who was on the ground, of his
carelessness, he applied the pliers to cut
the wire and laid his other hand upon the
transformer, which caused the 400 volts
to pass through him, Mr.. Smith having
at the moment turned his eyes, heard a
peculiar utterance, looked up and saw
Martin drawn to the pole with feet ex-
tending In the air and stream OF fire
gushing from his mouth and nostrils.

is the word "America," in perfect char
acters. The boys eyes are dark and the

is a birth-mark. Mr.. Spright's testimony
is borne out, it is asserted, by other
veracous citizens who have examined the
