The Yorkville Enquirer has found
something new under the sun in the
person of parent thanking a teach

shame hanging over them. They in
viteo these results. They staked their
lives and land, homes and peace,
against the power and readiness of
Virginia to protect herself and her
laws and officers. They undertook to
be supreme and all-powerful and they
have encountered a power they could
not frighten or kill or overide-the
power of the commonwealth and the
law and public feeling. They have
found the processes Of the law delib-
crate, just, orderly, inexorable; the
voice of the people, expressed through
their court and jury, steady and stern
that the law under which all the peo-
pie live shall be maintained and en-
forced that violations of it shall be
punished according to their degree.
McCue died despite his place and
influence and fortune. Beattie went
to the chair with unlimited money
and social and general influence on
his side. Floyd Allen will go to the
chair and should go as the jury Of
good and true men Of his fellow citi-
zens decreed and as all who have
studied the evidence must agree is
right. Let us hope that his fate will
be warning to all in this State that
the law is supreme; that those who
defy and despise it shall suffer for
their acts surely an dswiftly.-Roa-

Jonesville News Letter.

Jonesville, May Goth. The twentieth
of May is day that has a histry in
my life. will never forget as it was
on that day, 1864, that I was in a
fierce, deadly battle in the late war.
The battle only lasted few hours,
but the regiment lost 1872 men, killed
and wounded. 1t was the battle of
Clag's farm near Petersburg, Va.
The echo of the Macon reunion still
comes back with the sad story that
the people of Macon lost several hun
dred thousand dollars preparing for
the entertainment of the veterans and
visitors and that the crowd didn't
come up to their expectations. Well,
the fact is the people of Macon pre-
pared to skin the veterans and visit
ors but they got skinned themselves.
They were like poor old Haman we
read of in the Old Testament scrip
lures, who made a gallows to hang
Mordicai on but was hung on it him
self.
Governor Blease had an appoint
ment to speak here last Saturday
evening, but on account of the illness
of his wife he did not get here.
]. G. Otis and I. C. Blackwood,
candidates for solicitor and our own
Bob Hamilton, who stands for re-elec-
tion in the House, were here and
made speeches. There was a good
respectable crowd and they gave the
speakers an attentive hearing. Mes
srs. Brown and Horn furnished a good
barbecue dinner, which kept the
crowd in good humor.
The trustees have elected teachers
for our graded school for the next
school term. All Of the present board
of teachers were reelected but Miss
Bell Free, who did not stand for re-
election. and Miss Jimmie Hartley,
who taught in the school last year,
was elected to succeed Miss Free.
Mr.. P. P. Williams, who went with
his family to Phoenix, Arizona, last
January for his health, has come
back to Texas, where he has broth
er living, and later on he expects to
come back to Jonesville. For about
two months after Mr.. Williams went
to Arizona, his health improved, but
after that he grew worse and he con-
cluded to leave that country.
Farmers are getting along with
their planting very WE'LL. Most of
the cotton crop has been planted and
good stands are being obtained.
Mrs. Mary Thomas of Norfolk, Va,

Halle and will remain for some time.
Mr.. w. j. Halle and Mr.. Harry By

Wilkinsville Letter.

Wilkinsville, May 16.-The farmers
of this section are rained out so bad
ly that they won't make much head
way with their work. though they
have done remarkably well so far. A
good deal of cotton has been chopped
sout there is a great deai~of> >$&ssscorls
lands are to be planted yet, and much
of it to be broken the first time. Last
night we had heavy rainfall which
did considerable damage in washing
the lands. The low lands have been
flooded several times and much dam
age done to the hay crop where it is
not altogether destroyed.
A good deal of corn on uplands is
up and large enough to be worked,
while much of it remains yet to be
planted. Its gloomy time generally
with the farmers. but they are the
hardest class of men in the world to
discourage so. or to give up entirely
they just won't do it.
Twenty-four years ago Mr.. John
Henry Gallman planted his bottom at
the mouth Of Pacolet on Broad river
the last of July or first of August
with an early corn and it made pref
ty good horse feed, and would have
matured had the frost stayed off a
month longer. At that time (1SS8)
frost came the 3Oth morning of Sep
tember.
Mr.. T. jeff Hughes is visiting his
daughter, Mrs. Orrie Estes. He says
he is going to crest up" while but
we don't suppose he means it serious
ly. When he stops going it will be
because he can't go. He is now ad-
vanced in years. but he is lively and
cheerful as he has always been.
We think sometime in the near fu-
ture we will give the Times readers
asother chapter of his "reminescen-
ses" which to us are very interesting.
We have lot of them that have al
ready been published in this paper,
but new chapter will be generally
appreciated by those who know him.
He never forgets anything. He en-
joys company, and especially ladies,
but being somewhat deaf he can't
talk to them for fear he might say

Today Mr.. and Mrs. John A. ID.
Estes are celebrating the 45th ami
versary of their wedding day.
Mr.. Estes has just returned from
the Confederate reunion at Macon,
Ga, and gives us an account of it.
He enjoyed it finely. In speaking Of
the exercises in the reunion hall he
said: One fellow got up and he spoke
more like Ben Tillman than any man
ever heard While he was speaking
some one yelled out: Come down
from there, you only want an Office
To this uncle John replied: "Well, by
George, he is capable to fill il. He
talks like Ben Tillman." From his
description of the man and his style
of speaking, we are satisfied it was
General Bennett H. Young, of Ken
tucky, that prince of orators who is
second to none we ever heard except
General John B. Gordon, whose well
rounded sentences in word painting

Blind SENATOR ASKED
TO ADDRESS THE BLIND
Invitation Extended to Sena.
tor Gore

Atlanta, February 9.-"Can the
blind lead the blind?" is a Bible pro-
verb, in the sense that the answer is
based on a scripture quotation about
falling into the ditch, but it is only
true in an absolutely literal sense
Two or three times recently in At
lanta it has been conclusively proven
that the best leaders the blind could
possibly have were to be found among
the blind themselves.
The Rev. Mr.. Beauknight, who has
helped found an industrial school for
the blind where they can be taught
all kinds of trades, is himself blind
man.
An invitation to address the Geor-
gia Association for the Blind has just
-Bu9S selBlS pel!un o. p9puolxe ueeO
tor Gore, of Oklahoma, himself a
blind man, and it is earnestly hoped
that he will accept.
If Senator Gore does come, invita-
tons will be extended to blind people
in all parts of Georgia to come to
Atlanta and hear him speak. In con-
nection with the address some sort
of reception or other social event viii
be arranged by the local blind for the
visitors.

CENTRAL'S TRAINS ARE
BADLY OFF SCHEDULE
Bulletin Board Here is Huge
Joke

The bulletin board at the Central
railway station here is a standing joke
so far as reliability in the way of in
formation regarding the arrival of
trains is concerned.
Credulous people who know no bet
ter consult the bulletin board, and
when they see that certain train is
marked ION time" get their grips
ready for the expected rush. But not
so with the wiser ones, who know the
bulletin boards absolute unreliable
ity. When they see that a train IS
MAJ ked "on time" they usually come
back to the city and wait for it, o.
/ else slumber in the waiting room, for
! it is ten to one shot that the train
will not arrive on time, or anywhere
near it.
Yesterday, for instance, passenger
train No. from Montgomery was
marked UP ION time" but it was not,
by a good deal. No. 5, from Macon,
{ VS. also registered ION time" but the
little omission of half hour was not
unexpected. Of course, these errors,
of almost daily repetition, are not
| the fault of the local dispatcher, but
it merely suggests the utter unrelia-
bility of the Central's bulletin board,
placed there for the information II
travellers.

P.OCeed

Atlanta, Feb. 9.-When fire broke
out in the Griffith residence at q
Boulevard place this morning, a
pretty young bride who happened to
be visiting the home with her hus-
band, rushed into the street and APP
pealingly called to the firemen.
ooh, save my presents, and my
trousseau, if you can't save anything
else"
The brave firemen rushed into the
smoke and emerged with the queer
est collection of salvage that can be
imagined. One had his arms full of
cut glass vases with a silver pitcher
Dangling from each thumb. Anothe:
had an armful of embroidered night
els and half dozen sets of still moro
beautifully embroidered unmentiona
bles thrown across his shoulders. Blu
they were all saved, without bein.
even scorched, so the honeymoon mo.

WELDON HEADS
STATE WORK FOR
ROCK HILL Plan
TO REDUCE COTTON ACREAGE
lie is the Right Man in the
Right Place

Every farmer is Sumter county AM
this entire district and section viii
be pleased to know that Frank We'll
don has been selected to head the
work of popularizing mad organizing
the Rock Hill" plan for the reduc-
ton of the cotton acreage in this
state. Mr. Weldon will act as state
manager, or superintendent, of the
movement
Mr.. Weldon received three separate
appointments to take up the work
that has been entered upon by him,
oneormf SHAHH =?
one from Governor Brown, one from
Commissioner of Agriculture Hud-
son and one from President R. F.
Duckworth, of the Farmers Union
He has already commenced active
work in behalf of the popularizing of
the plan in this state
The plan adopted is to get a writ
ten pledge from every farmer to re-
duce his cotton acreage this year.
Some will reduce the acreage moro
than others, but the intention of tht
work is to get an average reduction
of one-fourth of the crop, or twenty
five per cent While the cotton acre
age is expected to be reduced, the
plan is to increase the corn, potatoes,
cane, hay, hogs and other food nro
ducts crops. Of the many plans sug-
gested for the remedying OF the nu,
tuating price of cotton, it is believed
that this is the most helpful ami
practicable.
That the movement in Georgia I'M
der the management of Frank We'll
don will be a success is hardly to be
Questioned, as Mr. Weldon's wide ac-
| quaintance with the people of Georgia,
et well as with this particular kind
Of publicity work, is so thorough aud
and intimate as to insure the very
best results that can be obtained from
this kind of work.
Mr. Weldon is widely and pleasant
ly known in this county and section
His aggressive and energetic work
has been responsible for the success
of many a state fair, when he was en-
gagged in that line of publicity work
1t is gratifying to know that so pop
ular and helpful an appointment has
been, and the complete and thorough
| cooperation of the farmers of this
section in the work proposed is as
sured.

and then Stanchfeld sprang upon the
platform. explaining his vote and
championing New York as a factor in
Democracy Stanchfield declared that
the integrity of New York delegates
had been impugned and insulted, and
New York had a right to be heard.
Stanchfeld denounced Bryan as that
money grabbing, favor hunting, pub
licity hunting marplot from Nebraska" 3"
and charged him with being the politi-
cal ally OF Theodore Roosevelt.
Stanchfelds bitter Characterization
of Bryan was received with cheers,
mingled with some Kisses. The speaker
maintained that the New York delega-
ton was the ablest ever sent to a ma
tional convention.
mo man branded with Organism

rying New York" exclaimed Stanch-
field amid cheers and jeers.
Stanchfeld bitterly attacked Bryan
as one of the plutocrats whose name
should be linked with Morgan, Bel
mont and Ryan ANY man who had
been writing for pay from the Chicago
Republican convention should be eX-
PEELED from this convention" he said,
adding that Mr.. Bryan was opposed to
any candidate except Mr.. Bryan
Stanchfeld closed with announcing
his vote for Wilson
Senator O'GOrman also voted for
Wilson and the total was: Clark, IS;
Wilson, 9; Underwood. 2: absent. 1.
Under the unit rule the 80 were count
ed for Clark.
Upto the thirty-third ballot the pro-
ceedings had been comparatively
quiet. Just after the completion Of
the ballot. however, a number Of men
arose from the Missouri delegation
and unfolded long streamer Of white
upon which was painted:

This was a signal for a Clark de
mOnstration
The men with the banner marched
to the left side of the hall, and Bryan.

aided by the police pushed angrily to
the stand. Take it away" was all he
would say. His face was red with

a crowd that mounted the press stand
and stood on the tables.
Bryan came back down the steps |
of the platform and became the cen
ter of pushing. shouting demonstra-
ton mad mob that almost swept him |
off his feet
For six minutes the demonstration F..
had ragged before Bryan saw the fu-
tility of going back to his place and .
returned to the platform.
The banner was taken to the press
