Tokeena Dots.

Tokeena, January 8.--The health of
this community is very good at present.
G. T. Phillips and family, who have
been residing in our community for sew
eral years, have moved away to the regret
of their many friends. We feel assured
that no and his will be greatly missed
here, but know that they will be gain
to the community they have moved to.
Frank Grayham and family, of Tertia,
have moved in our community. We
gladly welcome them.
The school is in fourishing condi-
tion under tho management of Miss
johnson, of Pickens, and Miss Sharp, of
Honea Path.
Sunday School is still moving on nicely
and we are glad to see so many take part
in such noble work.
A large crowd was disappointed at
church Sunday, as we we're expecting
preaching by Rev. Mr.. Carswell, of West
minister, but from some cause or other
he failed to come.
There will be preaching the second
Sunday evening by Rev. w. e. Huff, of
Seneca. We hope to see large crowd
out.
There will be prayer meeting every
Sunday night as usual. We hope to sec
more interest m manifested in this work,
for it will be great help to the church
and community.
The money which was raised to re-
model the church has been used up, and
not being enough to do the work which
was needed, leaves the church in about
as bad q fix as before. We would like to
know II there are not few willing hands
to help in this repairing, for it is most
too bad to quit after making such nice
start. g.. w.

THE NEWS FROM SENECA.

Seneca, January 9.-The death of Mrs.,
j. S. Stribling. yesterday, at the hone OF
her mother, Mrs. G. X Livingston, was
shock to the friends of the family here.
While it WAS known that Mrs. Stribling
had not been we'll for some weeks, news
OF her improvement had encouraged her
friends to- think she would soon be out
again. There has not been death in
our midst that has excited the universal
sorrow and sympathy that this has. AS
Miss Sarah Livingston, she was esteemed
and admired by all who knew her, and
was the subject of the tender and affec-
tionate devotion of hcr family. The fact
that she was the bride Of only 2 sSW
months, makes the untime,y death Be-
cularly sad, and expressions of sympa-
thy are heard at evory turn for the
afflicted, distressed family, and particu-
larly the bereaved husband. On Sunday
evening the yonng wife chattea cheer
fully to the family, making plans for the.
future and particularly the winter, as the
young couple were coon to occupy their
new home. She seemed as well as usual
until eleven O'clock, when sudden
change alarmed the family. and in two
hours time the angel of death claimed
the fair spirit and the house was indeed
desolated. Doubtless the sad intelli-
gence will carry great sorrow to the wido
circle of relatives and friends of the
family NJ. ". s.

Texas Farmers to HOLD for rop.No,oh.

At a meeting of the Cotton Growers
Association, held in Austin. Texps, last
Wednesday, officers were elected for the
ensuing year. and strong resolutions
were adopted urging the farmers to re-
duce the cotton acreage in Texas during
the coming season and insist upon top
notch prices. In line with the sugges-
tion.made by the executive committee,
the convention lined up strong in the
endorsemeut.of the proposition of build
ing warehouses in which to store cotton.
1t is believed that by such an arrange
ment, and marketing the cotton slowly,
prices can be held at bout ii cents.
North CaroIinIans.
With over hundred delegates frop,
thirty counties out of forty-seven, the
North Carolina Division of the Southern
Cotton Association closed long session
at O'Clock last Wednesday morning,
Ten delegates were elected TO the New
Orleans meeting. The association de.
cided to assess one cent bale for the
national and two cents bale for the
State association, the county associa-
tions to assess as they wish. The deter
mination to hold to the reduced acreage
of 1905, and not to dump cotton on the
market in the fall, but to market slowly,
was expressed in an address to the cot
ton farmers, while building warehouses
to store cotton and hold for top-notch
prices was advised. The meeting was
held in Raleigh.

The South CAROLINA Division of the

agent, the reduction of 25 per cent acre

New Connection for Coal Field.

Reports of the building of branch
road that will run from Lake Toxaway
to Walhalla, and from there connect with
the main line Of the Southern Railway at
Seneca, above Toccoa, is Of special inter-
est to the Atlanta railroad circles lust at
present. The line is said to have re-
Vealed only per cent grade in the sur
vey that has been made, and as the dis
tance is only some 26 miles, the work
could be completed in short time.
The advantages to Atlantans and all
those living in this section would be
obvious. Vast amounts of money have
been spent by the Southern Railway in
making Lake Toxaway and the Sapphire
country among the most beautiful and
famous resorts in the entire country.
just now the traveller must 90 to Spar
tanburg junction, and from there to
Hendersonville, N. c., and then go up
the Pennsylvania road through Brevard
to Toxaway. With the completion of a
branch from Walhalla to Toxaway, trav-
elers could reach the Sapphire country
by direct route rather than by the great
circuitous route at present.
But the greatest advantage to Atlanta
and this entire section would be the add
ing of another route to the Knoxville
coal region from Atlanta. A road to
Maryville, in the rich coal region below
Knoxville. to Dillsboro, is rapidly near
ing completion and with the line extend.
ing from Dillsboro to Toxaway by con.
Meeting with the reported branch from
Walhalla to Toxaway, almost straight
line to the main line of the Southern at
Seneca, would be the result, and in this
way Atlanta would tap the coal region
by new and practically direct line.
While it was impossible to secure a
confirmation of this report from officials
in Atlanta, it is generally believed that
such a road will soon be connecting both
the famous resort..::and the coal fields
which would mean very much to Atlanta
and this section.
AS previously reported, the Transyl-
vania road running from Hendersonville
to Toxaway via Brevardlhas been secured
by the Southern Railway and yesterday
was the first day of this little mountain
system under the new management of
Sc nthern. 1t has long been reported
that many new improvements will be
made Immediately in this road that leads
to the Land of the Sky and make the
trip still more enjoyable to the rapidly
increasing number of travellers to the
mountains of North Carolina. ATLANTA

ConstitutionaIity OF Brice Act Argued.

Columbia, January S-The constitu-
tionality of the Brice law was argued
before the Supreme Court too day. Dun
can Bellinger opened against the law.
Captain John GiCapers, of Greenville,
also spoke in support of the ant.dispen-
sary injunction. Stanyarne Wilson
in his argument said the dispensary was
pure and clean child at first, but now
it is monstrosty.
There were number of interested
spectators. This test of the constitu-
tionality of a law that allowed the coun-
ties to vote out the dispensary, provided
there is half mill tax levied, was
brought up some time ago when injunc-
tion proceedings were started in the
counties of Anderson, Greenville and
Spartanburg to require the dispensaries
to remain open. By agreement it was
decided to have hearing on all consti-
tutional questions on January Sth.
Among the attorneys present this morn
ing were Mr.. Welsh, Duncan Bellmger,
Stanyarne Wilson, John G. Capers and
Assistant Attorney General Youmans.
The arguments we're most interesting,
and decision will be made later by the
court. Upon this decision will depend
action by the Legislature on the dispen.
sary.

The Year Was Very Prosperous.

New companies were organized during
tho year 1905 to the sum of over $40, ,OOO,-
600 in this State, according to tho report
of the Secretary of State. The exact
figures are $10,5s3, 400. This does not
include railroad charters and the figures
are the largest in the history of the
State. The most gratifying showing in
the tabulated list now being prepared is
the large number of small companies

Death Of R. S. (Bud) Hays.

The subject of this sketch, r. S. (Bud)
Hays, was born in the year 1S46 in what
was then Piokens District, but now Oco-
nee county, South Carolina, and departed
this life December Goth, at his home in
Tom Bean, Texas. On July 3Oth, 1853,
he was married to Miss Hattie e. Hol-
lingsworth. To them were born eight
children, of whom seven-four sons and
three daughters-are living. The young
est daughter, Miss Efie, a sweet young
lady of seventeen years, preceded him
to the grave one year ago. Bro. HAYS
gave his heart to God early in life and
joined the Baptist church. He loved his
church and ever stood by his pastor. A
kind father, an affectionate husband, a
patriotic citizen and noble man has
quit the walks of mon and entered into
the joys of life eternal. At Gods right
hand he waits land watches for loved
ones left behind. May they be reunited
in heaven. All his living children, with
the exception of w. Fl. Hays, who lives
in Phoenix, AriZ., were with him when
he passed away. His death was not un-
expected, as his health had been deolin-
ing since the death of his daughter a
year ago. He said that he felt as if he
wanted to go and be with her. He was
perfectly conscious to the end and died
as he had lived-triumphan in the faith
telling those around him that there
was not a shadow of doubt in his mind
but what he would enter that rest pre-
pared for the faithful.
The deceased was Master Mason in
good standing, and after very impress
sive funeral service by Revs. Cameron
and league, former pastors, his remains
were tenderly laid to rest by that order
in the Vitetoe cemetery, near White
Wright, Texas.
1t Ia seldom we have ever seen lar
ger attendance at funeral than had
gathered to pay last tribute of respect
to departed friend and extend their
sympathy to the beloved wife and
mother and weeping children and grand
children.
Brother Hays moved from Ooonee
county, South Carolina, to Texas twelve
years ago, and during his residence here
has made friends of all with whom he
came in contact, not only those of ma
ture age, but the young as we'll. C.D.H.

Dangers Of Colds and How to Avoid Them
