"FIesh Pots' Opened.

Rev. DIR. d. w. Key visited the Saluda
association last week and returned home
charmed with the people, the place and
the entertainment received. The asso-
citation met in large tent, no house be-
ing large enough to hold the people.
The number present was variously esti-
mated. The estimates were from 1000
to 4,000, but the doctor says he thinks
there were fully $500 people present.
To hear his description of the great
pile of apple and custard pies, tho roast
turkeys, baked and fried chickens, roast
lamb and kid, bread, butter, preserves,
pickles, peaches, apples, watermelons,
etc., etc., would make man with a full
stomach feel hungry. We are certain of
one thing, and that is, that the doctor
will be present at the next Saluda asso.
citation, if nothing important prevents.
1t made the reporters mouth water to
hear him tell of the good things they
gave him to eat there. Another thing
we are sure Of, and that is, that the doc.
tor will never forget the big Saluda
spread.-Greenvill Herald, Aug Ist 8.

Many Deaths Caused by Powder Explosion

Two small gunpowder magazines, sit
uated In the midst of the cottages OF
fifty mill operatives, exploded in Lowell,
Mass, last Thursday, killing moro than
score and injuring nearly fifty persona.
Half o dozen mon, who were loading
kegs OF powder from one of the mage,
zines, were blown to pieces; four boys,
200 yards away, were killed by the con-
cussion, and fourteen frame houses
within radius of 400 yards went down
as though they had been built of cards.
Seven of these houses Immediately
burned. Three persons were caught in
the ruins of the houses and burned to
death, while seven or eight who were
taken from the fire died subsequently OF
their injuries. In all 70 buildings we're
destroyed, while windows for 5 or 9
miles around were pulverized. The re
port could be heard distinctly more than

High Price Of Cotton.

The high price of cotton has caused
one-third of the mills at Fall River to
shut down. These mills employed 10000
operatives, The weekly wage paid these
operatives was not less than $4,000.
The output Of the mills was 6,O0O,OOO
yards of goods. There is no prospect
that these mills will reopen again until
the next cotton crop is in the market.
Unless these operatives are helped much
suffering will ensue. The storekeepers
will miss the dollars spent by the opera
tives while the mills are shut down. The
situation in the cotton milling sections
is not as bad as at Fall River.
Most of our Southern mills are work
ing on full time and have plenty of raw
material to keep them running until the
next crop, or that is practically the stu
alton with Greenville mills.-Greenville
