| Prof. Herndon, of Yorkville, has been
with US teaching the cornet band al
this place. He came in his own con
veyance and was constrained to abide
with US longer than was his intention
on account of the uncrossable condi'
ton of the river. Yesterday he made
up his mind that cross the river he
must. The cable that supported the
fiat was worse than useless, as on ac'
count of the freshet it was out of re-
pair and the necessary work to repair
it could not be done until the river had
run down. He procured the services
of Marcus Brown, an old ferryman
The fiat was detached from the cable
and they expected to push it over with
poles. The professor drove in bis
horse and buggy in the fiat, and they
pushed off from the western bank
without ceremony. When they near
ed the current it was found so strong
that their poles were snapped and they
drifted rapidly down the river. A ride
over or sink in the shoals appeared
inevitable, and they prepared for the
worst. By some means the current
drifted the fiat, and it entered the mill
race and they touched solid land a
few hundred yards below where they
started, and it did not require much
persuading to constrain the professor
to abide with US yet another night.
CHEROKEE-The Gaffney Ledger,
May /: Annie Campbell, the 1o.year
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. U,
Campbell, died at the residence of her
parents on Race street, on Saturday
night about - o'clock, after long and
painful illness of rheumatism, which
attacked the heart. I'VE learn that
some of our country friends have fears
of coming to the city on account oi
smallpox or through fear of being vac
cinated. The disease has been con-
fined to the immediate vicinity in
which it originated. There is abso'
lutely no danger of contracting the
disease, and as for being vaccinated,
the city authorities have no right to
vaccinate any person who does not
live within the corporate limits OF the
city. y......"..Captain Bernard Tamblyn,
distinguished mining engineer, is at
present located at Blacksburg and will,
we learn, develop some mines already
located in this county and will proba-
bly, make investigation into others.
Cherokee presents a fine field for a
man of Captain Tamblyn's abilities,
and we hope that his coming among us
will BIZ profitable to himself, and mark
new mining era in Cherokee county.

8 o'clock, Douglass, the 5-year old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Moorehead, acci'
dently fell into the well, which, fortu'
nately, was not deep one, it being
only about Is feet to the water. Ofi
GERS Lockhart and Gilmer and Mr.,
Champ Davis happened to be near and
went at once to the rescue. As soon
as they reached the we'll, Officer Lock
hart entered and went down on the
wall as rapidly as possible, and upon
reaching the water found that little
Douglass had risen and was cllnglng
to the bucket. He took him from the
water and made his way back to the
top, when Mr.. Davis reached down
and took the child from him. The
child was found to be considerably
shocked, though apparently not seri'
ously hurt. Restoratives were given
