"A Cutting ARRAY that Needs Atten-

an lay, sept. SS.--Special: Our
farmers are very busy picking cotton,
cutting hay and gathering in their
fodder and other forages. There
seems to be splendid stand OF tur-
nips in our section, and the potato
crop is reported good.
The sick Of this community are
improving at this writing, and with
two fiourishing Sunday schools, good
water, plenty OF cornfield beans to
eat, and few muscadines still
clinging to the vine, we feel that we
have yet plenty for which we should
give thanks.
Everybody seems to have enjoyed
themselves at the association last
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Large crowds attended, good order
prevailed, plenty OF dinner for all.

| Fair Play had cutting ARRAY last
wednesday evening, which caused
quite a good deal of excitement
among the white as well as the COL
ored people, and SO far as we can
learn the black perpetrator of the
deed, Jim Brown, has not as yet been
dealt with. When it comes to the
place that man can be allowed to
slash and cut his wife all over the
face, neck and head and go unpun-
ished, what is the use to have laws
II they are not enforced? A warrant
was issued for Colored Jim, and the
sherif was at once notified of the
deed, securing the community until
late at night, huntingdon the guilty
one, but Jim was smart enough to
conceal himself in the house of a
colored friend, and now rooms at
large. We would like to know II
our officers were bought over or
what Is the matter that this affair
cannot be dealt with according to
| law?
Hon. j. Bolton Watson and John
Eskew. Of Anderson, were among rel
atives here last week.
Many prominent visitors attended
the association whom we would like
TO mention, but time and space for
bid. s&s
