Editor II. c. Martin, of the Easley

Writing about it in his paper, he

'There was a great abundance of
barbecued meats, bread, cakes, pies,
fried chicken, pickles, etc, and the
dinner passed off in very orderly
manner. There was no scrambling
or unnecessary haste. All seemed to
get plenty. The barbecued meats
were fine and the hash was hard to

GEO. B. CRONIER FOR GOVERNOR
Newberry Correspondent Suggests
PrOhObitiOniSt for the Mansion.

C"Marcellus," in News and Courier.D
Since the prohibitionists have all
broke down, cut up and defeated the
dispensaryites, horse, foot and dra-
goons, and we will now pass over
into the land of Canaan, flowing
with milk and honey, and where sir,
and sorrow will trouble us no more-i
1t behooves us-especfally the be-
nighted dispensaryites-to seek out
and put forward our prettiest foot, in
kitchen spick> and span. Having re-
covered from the rude shock admin
istered to us by the wicked "pro-
hibs" and busted the CRIME and sand
from our unhallowed garments, we
now proceed to nominate Hon. Geo.
B. Cromer, of Newberry, as the next
Chief Executive of the grand old
Commonwealth of South Carolina
He has said that he wanted no office,
(and we believe him), but he is too
good and true and competent a man
to hide his light under a bushel.
Cincinnatus was forcibly extracted
from between his plough handles to
preside over the destinies of Rome,
and we are sure that DR.. Cromer will
allow us to take him from his legal
plough to pull the bell cord over the
gubernatorial mule.
So much by way Of pleasantly. To
be serious, Mr.. Cromer has never
preached the blessings OF rotten
State dispensary in one breath and
harped on the damning blight Of IL
puor upon the morals and manhood
of the age in the next He has been
prohibitionist from his mothers
breast to the present and would be
naught else, though everybody be-
side him should advocate the traffic.
He did not bite his tongue" when It
was unpopular to talk prohibition,
and now that his propaganda has
got us down, hard and fast, on our
backs, we naturally want the best in
the shop.
The State is calling for men Of his
stripe, and, while we do not agree
with him on prohibition, we know
of no higher and purer and nobleV
type of manhood in South Carolina
than George B. Cromer.

Killed Girl and Shot Wife.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 3.-Pos-
ses of officers and citizens are scour-
ing the woods in the vicinity Of
Grady, 80 miles out, for William
Stevenson, who this morning, three
miles from Grady, shot his wife and
stepdaughter, mangling one hand of
the former and killing the latter al
most instantly, with load of shot in
the stomach. Stevenson, who had
been separated from his family, used
a ble-barreled shotgun.
The shots were heard by the 49,
year-old son of Mrs. Stevenson, who
had gone out to the field to work
and he rushed back to find his mo-
ther with one hand torn off and his
1S-year-old sister dying on the floor.
The man who had done the work
fled, leaving the boy to bear with
his own burden of tragedy. His
cries soon brought neighbors and
these, after administering to the
wants Of the injured, and laying out
the dead, joined in the hunt for the
culprit.
Stevenson came to the home of mis-
family about Z o'clock, and 1t is sup
posed demanded that he be taken
back, having been separated from
them several weeks. The farm and
property belonged to Mrs. Stevenson,
who was Mrs. Vann three years
ago. when she married Stevenson.
Just what passed Is not known, as
Mrs. Stevenson has not been able to
talk, and the neighbors, in fear of
the slayer, refuse to talk.

There are 762 cotton mills in the

an average of 10,250 for the North

Georgia has almost as many mills

is an average of 1O6 pounds per

SOMETHING HAPPENED.
Brilliant Meteor Seen and Big Noise

Something happened in this vicin-

what it was.
This morning number of people
have told of hearing n peculiar rum
bling noise about midnight and some
have claimed that it was accompa-
MED by tremor of the earth.
One citizen tells this experiences:
He was in bed, but was awake. A
light flashed across the window, but
he did not get up to Investigate. A
few minutes later he heard a heavy
rumbling noise, and about the same
time lattice door on the back piaz-
"a began rattling as if some one
were trying to get in. The citizen
house, but could not find anything
wrong.
This morning a gentleman from
Bolton was in the city. He said he
was attending a holiness meeting at
that place last night. Just before
midnight he saw a brilliant meteor
flash across the southern skies, ac-
companied by loud rumbling noise
and a perceptible tremor of the
earth. The gentleman said that the
meteor, after going some distance,
burst into fragments. He says that
when the thing happened the congre-
CATION fled from the church, and that
the preachers conducting the service
led the way.
This morning the Daily Mail had
several telephone messages from
people in differ Mt parts of the coun-
ty who had seen the meteor and
heard the noise, and who wanted to
know something about it. All the
persons making inquiries gave about
the same account of the occurrence
1t was at WiIliamston, Too.
A gentleman at Williamson tele-
phoned the Daily Mail this afternoon
that the meteor was seen there last
night, and that il was accompanied
by rumbling noise. He said that
there was perceptible tremor of the
earth, sufficient to cause doors and
windows to rattle.
