On last Thursday the Association
met for the purpose of celebrating it's
first anniversary. DR.. w. b. Cherry,
n of the landmarks of the past, is the
President, and was unanimously re-
elected in opposition to his ~protesta-
tions that, his usefulness as "a pre-
siding officer had passed away. The
remaining officers, Including the,pres-
ent efficient Executive Committee,
was also reelected. Col. b. f. Sloan,
In the absence of DR.. McByrde, was
elected to discharge the duties of
Secretary and Treasurer, and, also, as
Chairman of the Executive Committee
to solicit members of the Association,
and collect ali funds due the Associa-
ton by reason of membership, as we'll
rs from those who are willing to aid
In improving the grounds and ceme-
terry, and protect the place from stock
and relic hunters, or rather vandals,
who have no respect for the dead and
no sympathy for the living.
The attendance was reasonably
good, especially Of the ladies, who arc
always foremost in works of love and
charity.
DR.. D. E. Frierson, Of Anderson,
had boon invited to deliver q sermon
Rev. A. Wilson, of Seneca, opened
the services by song and prayer, Dir,

search for facts Upon which his re-
marks, were, in the main, founded.
The history Of the church, Hopewell
Keowee, from 1889 to the period
within our recollection, was full and
very interesting. Altogether the ad-
dress OF DR.. Frierson was able and
scholarly and is a most valuable cor

THE OLD STONE CRURCH.

orally KroWn.
Keoweo Courier,
There Is something In the human
heart that yarns for sympathy for the
home of the dead, where our loved
ones are laid away, awaiting the sum-
mons at the great day of the final &C
count. Impressed with these senti-
ments we could very naturally ap-
Preefate the feelipgs which induced
our friends to organize themselves into
an Association for the purpose OF pro-
tecting and improving the historic
burying place in Oconee, known as the
Old Stone Church. AS we'll as we
could aecipher, the corner stone OF
this ediiicei shows that II was greeted
in the year 1894, ono hundred years
ago.
Seventeen acres Of land were con
veyed to trustees by John Miller, an
Nnglishman, who left the home of his
nativity to escape trouble caused by
his connection with the publication Of
the "Junius's Letters" for the pur-
pose OF erecting thereon q house OF
worship, known in the history Of the
country as Hopewell-Keowee. 1t was

population other houses of worship
were erecIed. Pendleton, always the

Hopewell-Pendleton, whore services
were regularly held, and from this
period the Old Stone Church was year
by year abandoned to its lonely fate.
in it's prosperity the sainted dead OF
the early settlers of tho country were
laid to rest in it's sacred precincts.
Rev. Mr.. Reese, the first pastor of the
church, was the first to find rest in
the old church yard, and over whose
remains Q marble tablet marks the
spot. Then comes the Pickenses, a
family OF renown, whose remains are
enclosed by a brick wall. The head
stone that marks the resting place OF
Gen. Pickens is being broken and
carried away by relic hunters. This
is an act of vandalism that ought to be
stopped by the strong arm of the law.
The graves of the Whitners, Max
Calhouns, Bensons, Millers, and many
others, are to be found here, marked
by the never-failing hand of love and
affection. The grave Of the fatal
Bynum, who fell in q duel in 1928,
by the hand OF the gifted Perry, is
found between two large pines, one at
the head and tho other at the foot of
his home Of clay. The story that has
gained %credence that these pines grew
since his burial, has been exploded.
A gentleman who long resided neal
the place states that the body Of
Bynum was buried between the pines,
small at the time of sepulture, but
are now Of large growth and imposing.
There is a sympathy between these

SHOOTING AFFRAY NEAR CAMDEN.
The correspondent of the News and
Courier says that a serious shooting
ARRAY TOOK place nea Camden on the
iron bridge across the Wateree River.
between Mr.. j. d. McDowall, of Cam
den, and MIR. Joe Smith of West
Watoree. Mr.. Mcdowell was shot in
four places, one ball taking effect in the
right arm just above the elbow, one in
his left hand, one in the left side and
one In his abdomen. Smith also struck
him three severe blows en- the head
with u knife handle, which he had
cl1nched in his hand. 1t Is reported
n a Smiths coat was struck with o
ball from McDowall's pistol, but the
ball did not touch the skin. Five shots
were fired by Smith and two or three
by McDowall.
From the best information | can
gather the trouble arose about the
buying and selling of cotton seed. Jim
Smith, a younger brother OF Joe's,
made use OF some iusinuating remarks
to Mr.. McDowall yesterday, which re-
suited in Mcdowell jerking him from
his wagon and dealing him several
blows with his fist or q walking cane.
About12 o'clock to-day Joe Smith won't

Deen engaged for some time buying
cotton seed, and alton addressing him
IN an apparently pleasant manner told
Mr.: McDowall that he came to get
satisfaction from him, and in a few
seconds struck McDowall across the
head and, it is said, fired the first shot.

ment from him. Mr.. McDowall

B. J. Ammons, the bridge keeper, to
hitch his horses and drive home.
Prompt medical assistance was given
him, and he is resting easy as could be
expected just now. The wound in the
abdomen is the most serious, and it is
impossible to tell what will be the re.
suit of it.

Small grains we're more or less a

generally adverse to wheat and the

The adverse weather conditions car
be briefly summarized thus: The

August and September excessive rains:

BETTER PRICES FOR COTTON.
A Scheme to Enable Farmers to Hold
Their Crop For Twelve Months.

81 SShAShhh w y NtO w AAoANk
Their Crop For Twelve Months.
A special meeting of the executive
committee of the Georgia Agricultural
Society has been called to assemble in
Macon on Wednesday, oath inst, " to
consider the present ruinous price OF
cotton and to take some steps, If pos
sible, to remedy and avert impending
disasters"
The call is issued by Hon. John o.
Waddell, president of the State Agri-
cultural Society. The meeting will
take place on the second day OF the
State Fair, which begins in Macon on
the 23rd inst.
President Waddell, in issuing the
call, says he wishes to be distinctly
understood as opposing the selling Of
cotton to the injury of creditors, but it
is believed that the best interests of
If advances a be made on cotton, 80
as to allow it to be held over, thus
stopping the large daily receipts, and
at the same time giving the farmers an
opportunity of securing advances on
their cotton by which they cali meet
their obligations and at the same time
hold their cotton for better prices.
"A brief suggestion as to the plans
indicated-money is plentiful and at q
low interest rate in the banks. The
banks and commission MERCHANTS, who
are u friends, can be induced to adj
vance a reasonable amount on cotton.
and thus allow the farmer to hold his
cotton another year, and at the same
time enable him to pay his obligations
to nearly the full amount Of his cotton.
AT present prices, it Is impossible to
mor than pay the cost Of cultivation,
picking, ginning and guano bills, leav-
ing the farmer nothing with which to
meet other just obligations. If the
plans and suggestions which you may
promulgate be adopted by the other
cotton States, we believe good results
will follow.
There a be no doubt that the
cotton acreage will of necessity be
greatly reduced next year, the crop
reduced in consequence and the cotton
carried over must command better
prices"
