Crowder's creek, says that James
Adams has ten acres Of the finest cot
ton he has seen. It is about knee high
and full Of squares. He says corn has
chance on most Of the low land to
make pretty fair crop yet The wheat
crop Is pretty good but there Is chance
Of damage from constant rains. w. ID.
Glenn's fine bottoms are said to be a
failure this year-too wet. The land
was too wet during wheat harvesting
season to enable the farmers to use
their harvesters to best advantage.
Here lies one Of the difficulties. Wheat
must be cut when it gets ripe or 1t goes
to waste. Corn was blown down fiat
Tuesday afternoon, also cotton that
had been freshly chopped out. Wheat
shocks were torn down and to an ex-
tent spoiled.

Gaffney Ledger, June %: Rev. T. H.
Mullinax, of Grover, N. c., celebrated
Sunday, the 23d instant, by having a
reunion Of his family and direct des-
cendants at the Kings Mountain bat
tteground. There were twenty-six Of
the children and grandchildren Of Mr..
Mullinax present, as we'll as a few
close friends and other relatives Of the
family. A few hours before dinner
were spent in recreation and lively con-
versation, and then came the tempting
array of eatables which, 1t Is needless
to say received due consideration. In
the afternoon religious services were
held and Mr.. Mullinax preached an ap-
propriate sermon to the small but hap
py gathering. The day was most pleas
antly spent and everyone carried away
train Of memories that will brighten
their lives for many years to come.....
One of the Chunks of advice" admins

to the students of Newberry college.
was never to suffer themselves to be
gagged" We suppose this advice was
intended as an artful compliment to the
speaker. It is owing to what a man
is capable Of saying, whether he ought
to be gagged" or not. The man who
will not scruple to slander better men
than himself in order to promote his
own selfish interests ought to be
gagged" and that right early. THE
revival meeting at the First Baptist
church Is growing in interest. Inc at
tendance is on the increase and large
congregations attend both the forenoon
and night services. Mr.. Wray Is very
magnetic man, somewhat dramatic In
his mannerr, and withal most charm
ing and interesting teacher. He presents
Bible truths In simple yet interesting
manner and his word-painting. Is at
times enhancing. He impresses one
with his earnestness and there can be
but little doubt that he will do a great
deal Of good in Gaffney. He is abso-
lutely free from the sensational and Is
therefore to be doubly commended. Mr.
Wray will remain here until the latter
mart of next week, during which time
the meeting will continue. A cordial
invitation Is extended to all to attend
these services.
