tsxins Days Of the Early Tea Tax ID
New ENGLAND.

tsxins Days Of the Early Tea Tax n
New England.
Tea was not brought over BY tho
first settlers. When the pilgrims land
ed at Plymouth tea was selling in Eng
land at from $40 to $50 per pound. 1t
was luxury that had been known to
Englishnen only few years.
Early settlers got along without In
dia or China tea for long time. They
used roots. herbs and leaves found In
the fields and woods as a substitute
for tea. Sassafras tea was q common
drink.
Tea was advertised for sale In Bos-
ton in 1862 for the first time, according
to historians. In 1768 patriots began
to take the pledge not to drink tea be-
cause Of the tax that the English gov
eminent placed on 1t. 1t became fash
ionable for patriotic ladies not to serve
India tea. but as substitutes therefor
Labrador tea" and Liberty tea"
Captain Page Of Danvers forbade his
spouse to taste tea beneath his roof
as long as the tax remained upon It.
but the strong minded and Ingenious
lady assembled to the dat roof Of the
house. invited her friends to follow,
and there she served tea to them.
Some other ladies' of the town Jared
less fortunately. They used to Dor
row for their tea parties the big tea
pot Of the once famous Bell tavern.
One day, after drinking the forbidden
beverage. the master Of the house un-
expectedly walked in. jumped to the
IRE. grabbed the teapot and turned It
over. and out rolled Z big frog. The
jovial patriots at the Bell tavern sus-
pecting the use Of the pot had placed
the frog in It. Some OF the danes
never drank tea afterward. for 1t made
them sick
Isaac Wilson Of Peabody persisted
IN selling tea. 30 the Sons Of Liberty

KILLED BY CANNON CRACKER.
July Fourth Fatal to Il Prominent
Louisville Man.

Louisville, Ky, July 5.-The un-
enviable distinction Of having made
the most notable sacrifice to patriot
ism by the fireworks this year will
probably fall to Louisville, through
the death at Seymour, Ind, early to-
day of Arthur Granville Langham,
former president of the Provident
Life Assurance Society. Mr.. Lang
ham never recovered from the effects
OF having had his right hand shat
tered by the explosion of a cannon
cracker late last night.
He was one Of a party of fash
ionable Louisville folks who were
spending the weekend at the home,
near Seymour, Of John j. Peter, Mr..
Langham's brother-in-law. A can
non cracker, thrown lighted upon the
lawn IN the course Of Fourth of
July celebration, failed to explode.
Mr.. Langham took it in his hand and
lighted 1t. The cracker burst in his
grasp, tearing every finger off his
hand from its socket and mangling
the hand frightfully. He was ope-
rated upon at once after taking an
anaesthetic, and though for a time
he seemed to be improving. he never
regained consciousness, and died at
l.20 O'Clock.

STATE FARMERS UNION
VIII Meet i'm Columbia on the 2Sth
of July--harge Attendance Urged,

Columbia, July 6.-The following
call has been issued by the officers
of the State Farmers Union:
The meeting of the Farmers State
Union is drawing near, and we be-
speak large attendance. Reduced
railroad rates have been applied for,
and will doubtless be granted. The
convention will be held at Columbia
the fourth Wednesday in July, which
this year will come on the 28th. BY
that time most OF the farm work will
be over with, SO far as concerns the
laying-by Of crops, and We see no
reason why there should not be a
large and enthusiastic gathering.
Every county union should be repre-
sented, If possible, for matters of
Importance will come before the I'M
ion for consideration. All members
In good standing not delegates will
be admitted to the floor of the con-
vention.
We cannot too earnestly emphasize
the fact that large delegations to this
State meeting will prove to the seen
tically inclined that the farmers
mean business, and that 1t is their
purpose to better their condition as
far as they can through organized
enort. A large attendance will not
only command the respect of out
siders, but 1t will help nightly to-
ward inspiring confidence and .enthu-
slasm among the farmers themselves.
Listlessness and Indifference never
yet won victory; only earnestness
and enthusiasm point the way of an
assured goal.

NIGHT RIDERS GET NEW TRIAL
The Tennessee Supreme Court Re-
verses the Lower Court,

Jackson, Tenn, July 3.-The
cases of the eight night riders, six
OF whom were under the death SEN
tence, charged with the murder of
Capt. Quentin Rankin at Walnut
Log, on Reel Foot Lake, October 10
last, was reversed by the State SUI
preme Court to-day and were re-
manded for new trials.
The six men who were under the
death sentence are Garrett Johnson,
alleged leader of the night riders
organization in Obion county; Ar
thur Cloar, Fred Pinion, Sam Apple
white, It'd Burton and Roy Ransom.
The other two, Bud Morris and Bob
thurman, were convicted Of murder
In the second degree.
In reversing the case Justice Croft
assigned two principal reasons. The
first was that the grand jury, which
found the indictments against the
night riders, was not selected in a
proper manner. The second error
on which the reversal was based is
that the State did not allow the de-
PENDANTS sufficient number of chal-
lenges. The eight were tried on an
indictment, and the trial Court up-
held the States contention that the
eight defendants were only entitled
to the legal number OF challenges,
twenty-fOur. which would apply If
one man was on trial.

Spartanburg, July 81. M. Jen-

With Headquarters here, will resign

't Is reported that Mr.. Jenkins has

The farm demonstration work as

demonstrators and as a result scien-
tlhc farming Is becoming general.

A special from Clinton saws:

A special from Clinton says:
A horrible state of affairs came to
light at the Clinton Cotton Mills last
night. 1t seems that a man Of whom
nothing is really known hereabouts,
has been for quite while preacher
in that community of what is called
the Unknown Tongue" religion He
professed to have various gifts, and,
with devilish practices, it is COM
monty believed, perhaps, a sort of
hypnotism, he led SILLY women cap
tive" in the name of religion. Quite
a number of mon were the dupes Of
his religious practices. However,
partial discovery overlook him, and
he was driven from the town by the
enraged citizens.
Since his departure facts have
come TO light, which, had they been
known, would doubtless have result
ed In much harsher treatment than
he received.
1t Is asserted that a number of
women have reported to their hus-
bands that in the name of religion
he commanded them to break the
Seventh Commandment. Many Of
the alleged facts are well-nigh unbe-
lieveable, and the whole matter is
inconceivably shocking.

says: "The butchers here are on a
strike, and the market has been
closed, as a protest against the eX-
orbitant increase in the license tax.

antique" writing to The News
and Courier, expresses surprise that
numerous names that once, long
years ago, from 100 to 1880, were
familiar in this State, have complete
ly disap peared. He gives a long list
of peculiar and doubtful-of-pronun
citation names, among which we note
that OF George Chicken, whom, we
presume, since we know OF no hui
man Chickens surviving IN or about
these diggings, was stolen off the
roost and eaten by some coon up
Goose creek. Under no circumstances
would we attempt to account for any
Of the others.
by reference 10 the statements
published last week by five of the
banks Of Oconee 1t will be seen that
the capital stock paid into these cor
porations-the Peoples Bank and
Bank Of Walhalla, the Citizens Bank
and Seneca Bank, and the Westmin-
ster Bank-is $23O,400. We also
find that these five banks carry in
individual deposits and time deposits
the sum of 566,544.46. That shows
up well for Oconee, and with each
published statement the deposit fig
ures climb higher 1t is a good sign.
Still more ought 10 have their sur
plus money in these banks. They
are all sound. Deposit your money
in their vaults.
