Grove was dedicated last Sunday. The
dedication sermon was preached by DR..
w. w. Key, of Greenville, and in the
afternoon Rev. Mr.. Brown preached. Mr..
Hughes preached at night. Pleasant
Grove has an elegant brick building
covered with slate and has beautiful
arched windows colored with seven
memorial windows. This church was
organized in March, 1888, with II mem

between 1900 aud 1000 people there.

to the front steps of the home of Joe
Ballenger, avery old gentleman, knocked
him down and robbed him of $3.50. The
negro was afterwards captured in Lem

buggy whip very freely and then carried
him on to Jail. j. A. Wood.

wounded Miss Lydia Inchminger
on the night of June 25, at Waterloo
Road, Rockbridge county, Virginia.
Mr.. Cash and Miss Inchminger were

upon receiving an affirmative reply,
opened fire with a revolver. The
girl, who is fourteen years old, and
very pretty, is yet alive. Ford is

Carolina side, thus retaining the
entire river, including the islands, to
the State of Georgia. The court of
Georgia and the treaty between
Georgia and South Carolina con-
cluded at Buford, (Beaufort) South
Carolina in 1887, so indicate that the
river belongs to Georgia.
"However, South Carolinians are
inclined to suggest that they are en-
titled to one.half of the river. I am
interested in both States, and would
like TO have your positive opinion
where the line is. Though, as indi-
Gated above, Georgians and some
legal lights of Georgia claim that the
Tugaloo river belongs entirely to
Georgia according to the treaties
and other Acts"
In reply to Mr.. Magid's letter,
Gov. Hayward wrote: "You will
find the ordinance ratifying the con-
vention between the States of South
Carolina and Georgia, concluded at
Beaufort, S. O., April %, 1887, in
Volume of the statutes at large of
this State. BY this convention or
treaty the Savannah and Tugaloo
rivers were made the boundary be.
tween the two States. All islands
in these streams being given to the
State of Georgia, and in all other
respects the middle of the main
channel of the stream is the bound
ary line"
Until Mr.. Gunter can find any
thing to the contrary, Gov. Hey
wards letter will settle the conten-
tion, and South Carolina claims
right and title to the banks on the
Carolina side of the rivers, although
the State of Georgia is given pos
session of the islands in the treaty
quoted by the Governor in his letter.

Southern Train clipped MIle...x,nu.e.

The wreck of the Twentieth Century
Limited on the Lake Shore railroad, the
fastest train in the world, has caused
some comment in this part of the coun.
try, and while there are no trains here
about that maintain such lightning-like
schedules, 1t is pretty evident that there
are sections of railroad in South Carolina

mile minute for stretches of several
miles at clip.

to count the mile posts, and time it..
while am not sure, think we we're

were nearing Spartanburg when we took
out our watches and counted the seconds.
We saw three mile-posts in ninety sec.

Dig at Politicians.
[Greenville News.

Senator Tillman, in a letter to Presi
dent Tindal of the Cotton Growers
Association of Greenvlle county, makes
direct dig at certain politicians who,
he believes, are trying to seek political
preferment through that organization.
When he was invited to make an address
in Greenville on July 4th he accepted
and in letter to Mr.. Tindal, which is
characteristic of the man, he spoke
freely and bluntly and said that he had
detected the ear of the ass behind the
thin disguise of the movement.
Mr.. Tindal did not feel at liberty to
give the letter to the press because he
considered it personal communication.
Yesterday, however, the editor of the
Greenville News telegraphed Senator
Tillman requesting the privilege of pub
fishing the letter in this newspaper,
stating that if it contained any personal
references they would be eliminated.
The following reply was received from
Senator Tillman:
Letter had no personal references.
You can publish all OF it.'
When this message was shown Mr..
Tindal he gave out the Tillman letter,
which is as follows:
Trenton, s. c., June 20th.-Hon. III. b.
Tindal, President Southern Cotton
Growers Association, Greenville, s. c.
My Dear Sir: received your letter of
June 14th some days ago, and also had a
telegram from you to-day. / have de-
cided after careful consideration that l
will accept your invitation and speak in
Greenville on the Fourth of July.
l have watched with some amusement
and interest the antics of certain politi.
cal aspirants and have thought that /
detected the ass's ears of office seekers
protruding through the thin disguise
furnished by the movement to organize
the cotton growers for self -proteo tion.
Of course, there are many earnest,
honest men engaged in the work and the
efforts of these are appreciated by all
right thinking people. 1 will endeavor
in my speech to avoid any political refer
ences other than such as incidentally
force themselves with the evils which
have environed us for so many years,
and suggest tho remedies as SEQ them.
will probably go to Greenville tho
night of the Sd in order to be we'll rested
for the work. While my health is rea-
sonably good never know when to ex-
pect trouble and have come to realize
that cannot stand what used to, and
must therefore husband my strength.
AS / am going to Greenville l shall of
course be glad to have the people know
1t and hope you will give it the widest
possible publicity in order that all of my
friends who wish to see me may know
for certain that am going.
Thanking you for your courtesy, am
Sincerely yours,

Progressive Mill viIIass-Lockhart.

Lockhart, July Perhaps some
of The Courier readers know that
Lockhart is flouishing mill town,
situated on Broad River, in Union
county, South Carolina. Only few
years ago the land on which this
busy little town is located was a we'll
titled corn field. Now instead of the
waters of this fine water power being
allowed to pass on unclaimed, as in
past ages, when the graceful deer and
other wild animals grazed on its
banks, behold, we see some of this
mammoth power turning the wheels
of large up-to-date cotton mill, as
we'll as first class cotton gin, grist
mill and an ice factory. Mill number
two, which will be more than twice
the size of mill number one, is being
rapidly built, and few months
hence the hum of wheels will show
that some more of Broad Rivers
power has been chained. Yet the
half has not been told of the mystic
rious "force" that goes tumbling
over its rocky bed, and the possibili-
ties of the future can hardly be
imagined.
The population of Lockhart will
be four or FIVE thousand when mill
number two gets in operation. The
tenant houses for this increase of
population were built several months
ago.
The sanitary regulations of the
place are fine--only two resident
doctors, and they report the place as
distressingly healthy.
Lockhart is at the terminus of the
Lockhart branch railroad, owned by
the mill company and operated by
the Southern, which taps the main
line at Lockhart Junction, fourteen
miles from this place. Two trains
daily give the place ample mail, ex-
press and other railroad facilities.
The Bell Telephone puts the place
in quick touch with the outside world.
The steam. heated and electric
lighted company store is complete in
it's various departments. A meat
market, blacksmith shop and barber
shop are some minor conveniences !;
also well-kept hotel for the &C.
commodation of the travelling public.
Two neat churches are Indications
that the religious and moral welfare
of the place are looked after. Ser.
vices every Sabbath, with such aux
iliaries as Sunday schools, prayer
meetings and missionary societies.
Another very important attrac-
tion is the pretty school building,
with hall of between 500 and 1000
seating capacity. The school is free
for the entire term. A free night
school is also provided for those who
are employed during the day and
wish to devote their evenings to
study.
The natural scenery of the place
is beautiful. The river is really very
"broad" here and dotted with quite
a number of pretty islands. 1t is
predicted that at some future day
one or more of these fower-strewn
islands will be converted into park
or pleasure ground of some sort.
So it is readily seen that Lockhart
is keeping apaoe with the other pro-
gressive mill towns of the South.
And with these thoughts the ques-
tion arises, What would the South
do without the cetton millsp There
are still some ''growlers" who claim
that the mills are depicting the
farms and other rural industries. But
we wonder what these "growlers"
will say when the price of cotton
