THE GRAVE OF VIII. STEELE.
The Last Chapter Concerning a Mis-
understanding.

Seneca, Nov. 49, Editor Keowee
Courier: Please allow me space in
your paper to state a few facts in re-
gard to the placing of marker at
the grave Of the late William Steele.
William Steele, my grandfather,
died In 1871. In 1910, thirty-nine
years later, |, his granddaughter, Sc
cured from the government a marker
for his grave, In recognition Of his
services In the War Of 1912. You
know the government furnishes these
stones only for the unmarked graves
OF Its veterans. This stone was Sc
cured with the full knowledge and
approval Of Mrs. Margaret Steele
Harper, who was then the Oldest liy-
Ing child, and the other members Of
the famil were also Informed Of the
fact, and not one raised objection to
its erection.
When 1t was made certain that the
government would furnish a stone
for her fathers grave, Mrs. Harper
ordered stone for her mothers
grave from G. e. Gray, of Westmin-
ster, and when the stones were ready
for erection, Mrs. Harper requested
j.. q. Miller, of Lavonia, Ga, whose
wife was a daughter of William
Steele, Gin whose knowledge and
ability to locate the graves of her
parents she had the utmost conf
dence, he having always lived within
few miles Of Retreat church, and
being regular visitor to the grave
Of his wife). Knowing all this. she
knew him to be more familiar with
the family burial plot than any other
member of the family, and. therefore,
she requested him to locate the
graves.
In May, 1910, he went to Retreat,
placed marker at each grave, came
on to my house, discussed the matter
in all its details with Mrs. Harper
and gave w. p. Dickson minute in
structions, which we're carefully car
ried out. In August, 1910, w. P.
Dickson carried the stone secured
from the government from Old Pick
ems to Retreat, found the stone for
my grandmother in the place desig-
mated by Mr.. Miller, and placed the
one for William Steele at the right,
or, as undertakers would say, south
or her grave---the position in which
man and wife are always buried.
had the stone secured by me
placed where the best information OBJ
tainable then and now said the grave
of William Steele was, and my re-
sDonsibility to the government ceased
when that was done.
| regret very much the necessity
for appearing thus in public print,
but justice to myself demanded a
statement Of the facts as know
them And having vindicated my
self, unless ! am forced to further
action, the incident is closed.
Thanking you for your courtesy,
| am, Very respectfully.
(Mrs.) l.. A. Dickson.

USING THE SPLIT LOG DRAG.
>. j. lsben Has Made and Will One.
rate One this Winter

Walhalla, Nov. 11.-Editor Keo-
wee Courier: VIII you allow me
space for few words in reference to
road work? Last week Sam J. Is
bell, who lives three miles above
town. on Rural Route No. 1, made
and began operating a split log road
drag on the section or road from their
place towards town. Sam Is we'll
satisfied with the result and proposes
to continue the use Of the drag on
this section of the road through the
winter. This Is commendable in
him, and, we hope, marks the begin
ming of the use of the split log drag
on the roads in this section, and es-
pecially on Route No. 1. We hope
there Will be many OF these drags in
use In the next few months.
The best section Of road on Route
No. 1, and as good as Is in the coun-
ty, Is the road from Major w. ].
Stribling's place to town. This road
is kept in shape with an adjustable
steel drag by Major Stribling, and
am told the cost Is very small. There
will be many good teams Of horses
ana mules standing up doing no
work through the winter and spring
months. A little exercise with one
OF these drags will be good for the
teams, and a few hours with one
hand and team to one of these drags
VIII accomplish more towards good
roads than five or six hands will In
a whole day with shovel and pick.
Who will be the next?
A card or letter to Congressman
Aiken will bring a bulletin on the use
Of the split log drag. Every rural
carrier In the country will welcome
the use of these drags on the roads
they have to travel, and we believe
the public in general will appreciate
their good. ..''.
Here's hoping for the hearty COOP
Grafton Of our county road officials
with any citizen who will undertake
the use Of one of these drags.
Respectfully, l. l.. Burley,
r. f. d. Carrier No. I.

PADGETT GETS TWO YEARS.
AbductOr OF Carrie Stockton is Well

Shelby. n. c., Oct 11.-Rev. B. L.
Padgett, the holiness minister indict-
ed under several charges for illegal
relations with pretty Miss Carrie
Stockton, OF Kings Mountain, was
convicted Of the most serious Of the
charges against him in the Superior
Court Of Cleveland county at this
place. Judge Webb sentenced Pad
gett to two years in the State peni-
tentiary, and Solicitor Wilson can
celled the other indictments against
him.

Stockton home, several members Of
the family being members of his
church. He seemed to be infatuated
with her. took her on trips with his
little daughter and made gifts of
clothing and jewelry.
There are other indictments stand
ing against Padgett in Burke county
and Greenville county, South Caro-
lima, both growing out Of his rela-
tlons with the Stockton girl. The
charge against him at Greenville Is
for kidnapping the girl, the arrest
having been made in Atlanta. He
will be turned over to the Greenville
authorities when he completes his
sentence in this State. The charge
against him in Burke county is a
more serious one than that on which
he was convicted here, having been a
capital offense prior to a change Of
statute a few years ago.
During the trial here Mrs. Padgett
and his daughter sat beside him and
listened intently to the evidence.
Many people were here from Kings
Mountain, where the sentiment is
very strong against him, and the
court room was crowded throughout
the hearing Of the evidence. The
Stockton family is well known, Mr..

SPIRITUAL VALUES.

Who has not made resolutions to he better and L" do better? Al least once year most of us have turned down d few leaves and determined to walk a straighter and narrower path. And how easily they have rluttered back into place. these leaves of stern resolve. until one seemed aI- most mocked in his ability to plan good only tu perform evil.
 To love his neighbor. |" bless those that hate him. and not to coyet his neishbors goods-who has not striven earnestly for their fulfilment?
 But in Christian Science the leaves of good resolve do stay down. not be- caus, ones desire is stronger but be- cause his vision k clearer The step is no longer one of mere impulse. but is digniried bN becoming a definite problem with am equally definite so- lution.
 In other words. the good that he would do becomes real and GOd-sus- tained. and because it is real and God sustained the evil that he seems To do becomes unreal. and without principle or support. He grows to see it very much as he sees two times two wrongly totallng five. an ignorant supposition which is dis placed in his consciousness by the Knowledge that they make four.
 He realizes that SO far as spiritual values are concern 1e is quite a child. and so learns to weigh and t" find wanting much that before he accepted without question. He is not so wise in his own conccit. but grows humble and simple and willing to be as little child.
 His ncighbor then. instead of being humanly fallible and full of unlov- able traits. he trains himself to see as such a man as you would expect God tO make: refuses to see the tares and insists on the wheat. until he has a splendid crop in his own conscious ness and is blessed in this ability to believe without seeing"
 We hate that which mjureS us. and ao one can possibly love where he hates. But here again the Christian Scientist starts with his premise and discounts it. Because he has learned to understand omnipreSent Love he cannot believe in hate. He sees this as clearly as he sees that two times two cannot equal both four and five. Disbelievng in the reality of hate he naturally grows compassionate and kind. and so certainly blesseS-
 As for cOveting his neighbor's goods this leaf too is turned down and stays down. for the understanding of God becomes tO him the only treasure that neither moth nor rust can corrupt nor thieves break through and steal. one cannot envy what he no longer de sireS. Where his heart is there will his treasure he. He knows that this understanding of God is open to all without money and without price. and that no one can attain fuller measure than he.
 So. along this path of intelligent analysis the Christian Scientist works out his own salvation, freeing him self from the bondage of former be- liefs. adding line to line. and precept 10 precept of a faith proved demOn- strable in the simplest problems of his daily life.
