YOUNG FARMER DROWNED.
Edward Brady, of Cherokee, Meets
with Tragic End.

Gaffney, Aug. 12.-Edward Brady,
a we'll known young Cherokee coun-
ty farmer, who lived near this city,
was drowned in Broad river, near
Goat Island, this evening at about 4
o'clock. A party of fishermen left
the city this morning for a day at
Broad river. The party went in sein-
ing, and young Brady, who was a
poor swimmer, got in water too deep
for him and went out. Jesse Brady,
his father, who was with the party,
made brave attempt to rescue the
young man, but without avail. Up
to this hour, the body has not been
recovered. Brady was about 1S
years of age, and enjoyed a good
reputation in the community.

1t is reported on a certain young

Another young lady sits and lis

Says it's the prettiest sound she ever

The old farmers have it that a

both of these, if there is anything

Why We Are Late.

The Herald is one day late in is
suing this week, but it could not be
helped, as our supply of blank paper
did not arrive, although it should
have been here more than week
ago. We were forced to get some by
express from a nearby newspaper
friend in order to complete this
weeks issue. Had we known in
time that we would be late We would
have published an account OF the
Denmark campaign meeting, which
we understand was more exciting
than the meetings previously held,
on account of spats between the can
didates. However, it was impossible
for us to be present at the meeting,
and we cannot, therefore, report it.

AWAIT ACTION OF GRAND JURY.
Plantation Manager and Overseer
On Charges of Peonage.

Savannah, Aug. 8.-Jonas Kilpat-
rick general manager of E. T. Co.
mer's plantation at Millhaven, Ca,
and R. Lee Chew, an overseer there,
were held under bond at $1,000 each
on the charge of peonage, to await
action Of the federal grand jury at
the end of hearings before United
States Commissioner Walter G.. God
win, here this afternoon. Similar
charges against E. T. Conner, his
brother, ]. w. Conner, and Mungeon
Peele, another overseer, were dis
missed.
The Conner plantation is among
the largest single tracts of cultivated
land in the United States. The men
who work there do so ION shares. y
Some of these men, negroes, are al
legged to have sold stolen goods, from
the plantation to blind tiger" keep
ers outside the plantation. Late in
May two negroes suspected of these
thefts left and were found at Aiken,
S. c., where rural policeman ar
rested them. There was no warrant,
but witnesses SAID the negroes made
no objection to returning to the plan
tation. They were handcuffed until
they reached Georgia. The negroes,
Evans Martin and George Smith, said
in their testimony to-day that they
were on their way back to Georgia
when arrested and after they reach
ed the plantation believed they were
free to go or stay.

Wesley Chapel Picnic.

On last Thursday We had the pleas
ure of attending the picnic at the
above place, and it would not be fiat
tering those good people there to
say that there are no cleverer people
in the world. The Folks, Warns
Mullers, Rizers, Kearses, Keys, and
others would put to shame IAN Arab
with a stranger for guest" when it
comes to true, unassuming, open
hearted hospitality.
We met persons from four coun-
ties, and We heard nothing but praise
of the Wesley Chapel people and the
picnic.
The surprise of the day was the
speaker. When clever Miley Warn
got up and introduced the orator of
the day and announced the name of
Miss Ida Fishburne, everybody, or at
least many of US, were truly astound-
ed, when she arose, and began a
beautiful talk. She is very attract
i've in appearance, with lovely eyes, a
mouth simply perfect, form truly
faultless, and a voice as sweet as the
sirens song, but rather too weak to
fill large edifice. She handled her
subject, Sunday-school work, splen-
didly, much better than some efforts
made by the sterner sex on the same
lines. She is an officer in the Words
Sunday-school Association, and it
would be hard to find her equal in
fitness for the position she holds.
Nature gave her splendid mind,
and art has given it that polish that
makes it shine as beacon. She is
a graduate of Columbia college and
has taken a postgraduate course, re-
Gently, in New York. The Sunday
schools of the independent Empire
of Colleton are fortunate in having
the services of Miss Fishburne.
The crops that we see IN passing
through the country will surely not
make more than half of a normal
yield. Here and there are small spots
of fairly good crops, but, taking one
field with another, the general aver
age is very poor.

Electrocuted i'm Columbia.

Columbia, Aug. 13.-Alex Weldon,
the Florence county negro who was
convicted in 1910 on the charge of
killing Elihu Moye, a prosperous
planter, was electrocuted at the State
penitentiary this morning at 11:1S
o'clock.
He made a talk of ten minutes al
ter being seated in the chair and bit
terly denied that he was guilty. Il
can not face God Almighty with a lie
on my lips" said the negro, as the
metal cap was being placed over his
head.
Uttering a prayer, he declared he
was an innocent man just as the cur
rent was turned on. The current was
applied by J. G. Robbins, guard at
the prison.

THERE WILL BE EARLY FROST
If the Old Sign About Fog Holds
Good This Year.

According to an old tradition there
will be frost sixty days after the first
fog in August. There was heavy
fog on Friday morning, August 2,
and if the sign comes true then there
will be frost about the first or second
of October. However, it is said that
this sign is like all other signs, nev-
er infallible. In commenting on
signs the Augusta Herald says:
A ring around the moon, lightning
in the north and northwest at night
and other signs are said to indicate
rain for the next day, but all signs
fail sometimes in dry weather. A
cotton man said Friday morning that
if a killing frost would come sixty
days after the first fog in August cot
ton should go up a cent per pound
on the strength of it.
This years crop will be later and
the farmers want frost to come as
late in the fall as possible. An early
frost would prevent great quantities
of cotton bolls from maturing and
with a late crop there must necessa-
rily be a late fall for an even fair
yield will be far short of what it was
last year and as the farmers are fac
ing the prospect of only moderate
sized, and in many instances, short
crop, they want the frost to stay away
as late as possible in order to let all
the cotton bolls mature that are on
the plant.

REFUSE HIS ATTENTIONS.

Dear Miss Fairfax
L am seventeen and have been keep
ing company with young man eight

months. short time ago he asked me
to become his wife. l told him might
some day. but not for long time, as
thought l was too young. He now
takes 1t for granted that / will marry
him and speaks of nothing but the fu
ture.
There is a young man whom l have
known since ! was very young and
whom l love very dearly. He is now
living in the country so, of course, can
not see me very often. have told the
other man about him, but he thinks l
am only trying to make him jealous.
How can / make 1t plain to him that 1
could never love him as do the other?
MAUDE.
So long as you accept the attentions
of the first man so long will he have
reason for thinking you will some day
be his wife. You wrong him in en-
couraging him while in love with an
other man. Be honest and tell him SO.
If he doubts you, refuse to see him
and he will be convinced.

Dear Miss Fairfax: @

two years my senior, who seemed to
care for me very much as he was very
attentive. H easked permission to write
to me- which 1 gave him, and for the
past few months he has written to me
several times. 1 know we are very
young but would like to know whether
to continue your friendship or not, as i
think very much of him and he seems
to reciprocate the feeling. READER.
If you know he is an honorable young
man. there would be nothing wrong in
being good friends with him, and there
might be much Of mutual benefit. Con-
fine your letters to a strictly friendly
basis. Write him nothing that you
would blush to have your mother see.

advise you to continue the correspond

Federal Government
Will Not Interfere
In Children'S Behalf

The Federal Government will not in
terfere in the controversy which has
arisen in Lawrence regarding the expor-

the strikers. Unless the strikers and
their sympathizers violate the child la

The commissioner. Dr. Charles p.

{he bureau said to a reporter for The
