BLACKSTOCK
S. B. Latham Writes "reminiscences
of Chester equity Town.
INCIDENTS OF SEVENTY YEARS Ago
The Coming of the RaIiroao-RecaIls
Amuoing Scenes Of Early Days-
How the Town Got Its Name.


S. b. Latham in the Chester Reporter.
Blackstock got it's name from 4
family of this name who formerly lived
there and one of them was postmaster
and had the office in his dwelling. This
was before any railroad was ever
thought Of in this section The mails
were carried by stage coach lines.
North of town near the Methodist
church was an old field known as the
muster ground. Here one Alex Skelly,
who was q school master, poet ana
bled his men once a month on Satur-
day and instructed them in the art OF
war One very amusing thing occurred
in connection with Capt. Skely'S men
ed in the neighborhood that the
negroes were going 10 rise and massa-
ere the whites There was not over
one negro to five whites in radius Of
five miles. Nevertheless, Capt. Skelly
thought it wise TO be on guard with his
company on duty near where the Bap-
tist church now stands. About ten
o'clock they heard something running
through the woods. They quickly
formed rank-as the thing moving got
nearer they beat hasty retreat and
formed line of battle near where Mrs.
Bell lived, and waited the approach Of
the enemy. But to their great relief
they heard some dogs barking and
hunters cutting down a tree for an
opOssUm.
Near if not on the very spot where
the depot now stands was wood shop
run by Joe Fullerton. in which was
made and repaired spinning wheels. I
remember visiting it in 1S49 with my
mother, and how wonderful it appear
ed to me. Whatever became of Ful-
lcrton. on his factory don't remember.
The land in and around Blackstock
formerly belonged to J. Walker and
was sold by him 10 David Hemphill,
father Of the late Mrs. Margaret Gas
ton. In 1852 ii was sold by the Hemp
hills to George Hooper and by Hooper
20 Thos Boulwarc. In 1S49 and 80 the
railroad was graded through this place.
The contract for the part running
through B,ackstock was given DR.. j.
l.. Douglas, who did the work by slave
labor from his own plantation under
Hugh Bruce as overseer. The road
was completed TO Blackstock about
the lst Of July, 1851. When the first
passenger train ran that far, the whole
country for miles gathered TO see it.

Rain is Needed.
Farmers of the community say that
the crops are beginning to need rain
again and that the sooner it comes the
better 1t will be. There has been prac-

however, It is a mighty good prospect

WOODROW WILSON
AS KNOW HIM."

One of the most powerful, faeinat-
ing and absorbing stories that ever
appeared in the public prints of the
United States, is Joseph Tumulty's
history of the public career of Wood
row Wilson, running since November
1st, in the Memphis News Scimitar
and the Nashville. Tennessean.
After eleven years of close and con-
fidential association, as private sec
retary to the Governor of New Jer-
sey and the President of the United
States, Joseph Tumulty knows him
Woodrow Wilson as no other living
man knows him or could know him.
The story written in way that
convinces readers Of its absolute
truth, clears up many false impress
sions of incidents in the public career
of Governor Wilson and President
Wilson, which have been distorted ard
misrepresented b yenemies of Wilson,
enemies of the people and tools of
special interests, and the story in the
newspapers and book form, will go far
toward proving Woodrow Wilson to
be one of the best, cleanest and great
est men the United States ever pro-
duced. Millions of people will read
Tumulty's Woodrow Wilson as j
Know Him" in the newspapers and in
book form.

SECRET SESSIONS
AND NO PICTURES.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Secretary of
State Hughes is in for another fight
over armament arrangements for tn =
coming arms conference. When he
let it be known or intimated that
most of the sessions of the confer
ence would be secret, he became the
target for bombardment of appeals
fer opensessions.
Today it became known that pres
ent arrangements for the opening of
the conference prohibiting the taking
of any pictures, either still or motion,
and already the army of photograph
ers present at every important event
are organizing for an attack against
the proposal. They will demand the
privilege of swapping the delegates
at the conference table, and they will
be backed up by millions who cannot
come to Washington and who have to
depend upon the camera for picture
of what is occurring.-Commercial

FLOUR $500 A BARREL.

Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 4.-For
the first time in more than five years
flour went below 81 a barrel here to-
day, following a break in wheat yes
terday. One large mill reduced its
price Is cents on family patents, max
ing their quotations $500 barrel,
when sold in carlots in 98-pound cot
ton sacks. The range was $500 a Z.
Any bushel of good wheat ought
to have 40 pounds of good flour in it
about $500 worth of good
wheat at present prices will make
barrel of flour-not counting the
other twenty pounds of shorts and
bran in each bushel. With wheat
around dollar bushel, seven dollars
per barrel is too much for flour.
