Orchard Grove.

On last Thursday the home OF Mr.
and Mrs. C. T. Kisner was the scene
of a happy reunion Of old friends O.
Mrs. DR.. Lee, widow of DR.. D. p
Lee, who was popular physician ir
this community years ago. It was ir
the nature of a surprise for Mrs. Lee
who is visiting at the Kisner home.
The neighbors began to file in a
the noon hour with well filled baskets
of good things to eat. They prepared
sumptuous dinner to which, it is
needless to say, all did ample justice.
The afternoon was spent in good
old country style, with vocal and in
, strumental music by the younger
people, while the older ones INDUCED
in relating "reminiscences of events of
the long ago.
Grandma (Mrs. Leg expressed her.
self as being agreeably surprised, and
pleased at the apparent esteem in
which she was held by her neighbors.
She then favored the company with a
song, entitled: -"When the Days are
Passing By" with sweet melodious
tone for one of her age, in her 8Oth
year. ~..:
Those present were: Mrs. Joe Wix,
Mrs. E. E. Morilla, Mrs. C. Daniels
and children, Mile SSttaauffffer, wife and
son, Mrs. Frank Feeley, Mrs. Phil.
Pry and children, Mr.. L. Classify and
wife, Miss Fannie Bryant, Mrs. M.
Tharp and niece, Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Nafus, Mr.. and Mrs. w. G. Mehaffey

F. Peters, Mrs. Jim Evans and daugh-
ter Blanch, Mr.. Ben Pontius, Miss
Florence Bearce, all of Pleasant Gap.
Mrs. C. A. Ludlow, Marjorie Ludlow,
Daniel Ludlow, allof Phoenix, Arizona.
At late hour the company, having
expressed a wish that Grandma might
live to enjoy many more such pleas
ures, departed for their homes.
We think with a feeling that their
mite, though small, contributed for
her pleasure, will make the road
smoother and the heart lighter in her
declining years.

NICHOLS DEOUNCES LAWYERS.
Declares He Was Robbed of $4,000
While in the West.
Greenwood JOurnalD

w. j. Nichols, held in Green
wood county Jail on a Federal
charge, told a visitor to his cell
Tuesday afternoon that lawyers in
the West had robbed him Of $50, 900,
and that during all the years he
spent behind the bars in the peni-
tentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kans.
he had studied law with the end in
view Of running down "theSe crooked
attorneys" when he won his liberty.
II have been in jail five years."
Nichols declared, "but my work has
been such that l had plenty of time
to study law, and this IS what l have
done for the purpose of getting even
with the crooks who robbed me of
100000 which I made and which i
had when / was arrested. All of It
was taken by attorneys.
Nichols continues to talk freely
and bitterly to all who visited him
at the Jail. He evidently has har-
bored revenge all these years and is
determined to get it once he is a free
man. AS stated in the Journal yes
terday, he endeavored while serving
sentence to have one lawyer disbar-
red from practice.
Nichols has yet made no formal
application for habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, but it is expected that he
will do SO. According to a Green
Vile paper Judge Johnson has stated
that the defendant would be granted
bail if he could get somebody to
justify the amount. Judge john
son is quoted as saying further that
he would not try the case in his
chambers, as that Is a matter for the
jury to decide unless the district at
tOrney sees fit to withdraw the war
rants and obtains the consent Of the
Attorney General for so doing. 1t
is reported that a former district at
torney Of North Carolina has written
to Greenville to ascertain certain
facts in the case.
Nichols will be tried here, 1t Is
understood, on two charges Of using
the mails to defraud, when he is al
legged to have obtained money from
two churches, one at Greenville and
the other at Hartsville on the con-
dition that certain sums would be
loaned. 1t is charged that he Sc

OPENING GREAT RUSSIAN PORT.
Breaking Away of Huge Ice Gorges
Relief to Shipping.

Archangel, Russia, May 6.--The
ice is now breaking up on the rivers
jug and Waga, and the re-opening
Of the port is expected shortly.
The winter months have been
spent in strenuous activity, prepar-
ing the port facilities for the traffic
which they were totally unable TO
handle during the early months Of
the war.
The war has given Archangel an
Importance which it probably never
had before, even in the days when it
was the chief port Of Russia. After
some two hundred years, during
which it found its import trade grad
ually absorbed by other ports of
Russia, while its exports were prin-
cipally lumber and a small propor-
tion of the Russian wheat crop, it
became, with the closing Of the Black
Sea and the Baltic, the principal i'm
porting center of Russia.
The facilities of the port were
inadequate to deal with the immense
trade which developed. Ship after
ship laden with munitions of war
and every kind of commodity, ar
rived, until the port was in a state
of hopeless chaos. Usually closed
by ice at the beginning Of Novem-
ber, it was kept open a month longer
by the aid of powerful ice-breakers
from Canada.
The winter months have been de-
voted to clearing off all arrears at
the docks, developing the railway
accommodations, and erecting many
new sheds and warehouses for stor-
age. Many Of the Petrograd ship
ping houses have opened Offices and
there is not likely to be repetition
OF the state of disorder which exist
ed last year.
Already a large number Of steam
ers have been chartered for trade
between Archangel and En-. and or
between Archangel and the United
States for automobiles, uniforms,
barbed wire, and munitions of every
description, which will employ a con-
siderable number of steamers for
their transport.

WARNING NOTE Is SOUNDED.
English Poet Says Doubtful if Ger
mans Will BE Beaten.

Washington, May 5. William
Watson, the English poet, has con-
tributed prose article to the Even
ing News, in which he denounced the
apathy of the British government
and the people in the following
terms:
''lt is high time that the masses of
the people. of this country had it
driven and hammered into their
somewhat slow minds, for no gen.
tier mode of Introducing it will suf-
flee, that it is very doubtful, indeed
whether we are going TO beat the
Germans at ALL"
Criticising the "lulling assurances
that all will ultimately be we'll" Mr..
Watson praises the spirit of the Ger
mans, and declares "our allies and
we ourselves are in imminent and
grlevous peril" He declares Ger
many is "supremely formidable with
the spirit that makes her an unpre-
cedented menace and terror to us
and to the world" and he declares
it will be the "fault of our own an
athy, sluggishness and fatal optim-
ism II the drama darkens at the last
INTO tragedy both for us and the
truest interests Of mankind"
