Wilkinsville, Feb. 26-Mrs. MIL
dred Mcdaniel and children, Estelle
and Elbert, Of Smyrna, who have been
spending a few days on this side of
the river visiting friends and relatives,
returned home this morning.
Owing to the rain the Salem Sab
bath school was not In session yester-
day.
Since a change in the law by which
the court Of common pleas at Carney
sits two weeks before that Of general
sessions, those having business in the
latter are often confused. The court
of common pleas begins there today,
and the court Of general sessions will
sit March IL.
Cutting down the. cotton acreage
comes under two different heads-one
Is cutting off number OF acres from
former crops and the other Is cutting
down trees, briers, bushes, etc, and
making room for more cotton to be
planted. This latter process, we are
sorry to say, Is too much In vogue to
insure good prices for the staple next
fall.
We are glad to learn that the WASH
Ington birthday exercises at the Hick-
|ory Grove high school last Thursday
might was a decided success. We con-
gratulate Prof. Holiday and his school
In making 1t what II was. AS an edu-
Gator Prof. Holiday stands high In
his profession and we wish for him
and his pupils all the success they 30
|deservedly merit. We are cranky" on
the subject Of education and are glad
we are.
We think by this time next year
(and perhaps before) we will have a
high school In operation In cur COM
munfty where boys and girs can be
prepared for college or otherwise re-
ceive a first-class business education.
The wind storm that passed over
this section last Wednesday evening
and night, did considerable damage In
places. But no serious damage was
done that we know of.
We are glad to note the good feel
ing The Enquirer's editor has for the
editor Of the Gaffney Ledger Both
papers and men have treated US nice
lily and we know nothing better that
we can do than to exhort these knights
/ of the duill to Let brotherly love con-
tinue." See Hebrews Kill, /.
Since returning from the Legislature
Hon. C. w. Whisonant has pulled off
his coat and rolled up his sleeves and
gone to work. This is something Cal
vim il not afraid Of, besides ne is O
first-rate fellow anyway You take him.
Mr.. 8. F. Estes, whose Illness has
been mentioned heretofore. has been
getting along much better for the last
few days. Mr.. and Mrs. n. 3; McDan-
lei OF Smyrna, spent last night with
him and family.
Farmers In this vicinity are getting
rather restless about sowing oats. The
continuous bad weather has set them
back with their work 30 that very lit
tie ploughing has been done since last
fall. In some places we learn that the
wheat and fall sown oats have been
frozen out. But we don't think the
damage is at all serious.
More wheat was sown In Cherokee
county last fall, We think. than has
been sown In any one year since 1881.
Mr.. John L Strain. who has been In
the hospital at Gaffney for treatment,
was dismissed from that institution
about ten days ago. He has been In
His disease was a chronic affection OF
the bowels.

also in the hospital at Carney. Is get
ting along as well as could be ex-
pected. He is able now to sit up and
be rolled about in his invalid chair.
Messrs Will Westmoreland and
Baxter wilkey of Hickory Grove, who
have been painting Salem church, had
to quit work last week on account OF
the weather. They will finish the Job
as soon as weather conditions will per-
NIT 1t.
Mr. Sam ]. Strain went over to the
York side today on business.
The people OF Hopewell are to be
CONGRATULATED on the new school build
ing they have Just finished. It's an
up to-date building and speaks well
for the community In which II STANDS.
