Gaffney Wagon and Furniture Co. The Spartanburg Herald says “the farmers around GalTney don’t want a county seat.” If the Herald would take the trouble to find out what it is talking about it would then be able to come a little closer to the truth. It would be useless for us to at tempt, even if wo were so disposed, to deny the fact that a new county would be of material benefit to this place. And we are honest enough to say that if wo did not think it would not he of benefit to us we would not he in favor of it. Hut we submit that if it would be of benefit to us it would be benefit to all in the pro posed new county. Certainly it would not be of benefit to Spartan burg. Certain it is that it would de tract from Spartanburg, Union and York to a certain extent. But any man of sane mind who is disposed to be fair about the matter must admit that the damage to those counties would be doubly oll-sei by the advan tage to the people in the proposed new county. Gentlemen who are interested in this movement have made a canvas of the whole proposed new county. They are aware that some are op posed to the measure but at the same time the percentage of those in favor of it is about one hundred to one. Is not this a country in which the ma jority are supposed to rule? This is no oii-hand statement that cannot be verified. We, ourselves, have yet to approach the first man who is op posed the measure with the possible exception of one in York county, hut we have it from good authority that there is a good deal of opposition there, hut then by far the largest amount of the opposition comes from persons who reside near their county seat or who or on a direct railroad line thereto. We doubt very seriously if the Spartanburg Herald or the I’iedmont Headlight or the Yorkville Enquirer either have sounded a half-dozen p rsons who reside in the proposed n.*w county. Certain it is that wither of these papers will act fair in the matter. We don’t expect them to champion a cause that would nat urally detract from them and their cities, hut we do expect that they will at hast hear the pros and cons of the subject, hut the Herald has even in fused to notice in any manner a com munication of a gentleman who has canvassed the district and who is in every sense responsible for anything ho might say and we are positive that he would not make a statement in regard to the mutter that could be doubt ci. What we want is a new county. We don’t want to move to Spartan burg, neither do we want to go there for anything wo should have here. Spartanburg should begin to put on the broad ideas of a city and her bus iness should be such as to command the trade of the surrounding towns hut we do not think she should now have to rely upon the fact of being a county seat to draw trade for thirty miles, hut her business houses should be of such a character as to he independent of being the county seat of a large territory and we believe she is rapidly attaining that dis tinction. No, let the people of this section have their proposed new county. The exigency of the times demands it, and Spartanburg should loose none of her prestige as a city by so doiiig. • — Bert Graham on“Perjy. ,, (^uite a number of our people were in Greenville lust week attending the United States court. Among the rest Bert Graham went as a prisoner for retailing. Bert came clear and says every man that knows him knows he is clear. He says he thinks every time things get dull at Jonesville Mr. Harris sends up to GalTney for a few niggers and that’t hat yaller nigger Lee Dawkins and two or three black slick niggers from about Dawkin’s mill are on hand as witnesses. Bert says them niggers get their pay us witnesses “hut he’s Jclone seed two nigger go to jail for perjy and he thinks that he a goodway to break up Lee’s gang.” . ■«•»- • Capt. A. B. Brown. The many friends of our former fellow citizen, Capt. A. B. Brown, are pleased to see the highly com plimentary manner in which the city of Greenville 1ms re-elected him one of her alderman. Capt. Brown is a worthy man and his thriving city properly appreciate him. - -*•— * Cotton Seed Meal.

Last Saturday the Rev. J. D. Bai ley, of Cowpens, went to Cherokee to preach. While there ho was the guest of A. E. Leagon. After the services Mr. Bailey returned to Mr. Leagon’s home to spend the night. The weather was somewhat sultry so* Mr. Bailey did not close down the window sash. During the night some thief went to the window and with a stick “fished” Mr. Bailey’s panta loons otT the chair, and relieved the pockets of a gold watch and chain, a plated watch charm, and about .iU.00 in momey, which was in a pocket- book. The thief or thieves left sev eral articles in the pockets and did not disturb anything else. The watch has the name of W\ B. Totter engraved in the inside case of the lid. Mr. Bailey deplores the loss on ac count of it having been given him as a present and will pay a liberal re ward for the recovery of the stolen property. Unclaimed Letters.

E., will pre side. The trustees of church prop erty are required to make official re port of value of church property on the work. • • —— ' Beulah’s Protracted Meeting. The meeting at Beulah held last week by Rev. G. M. Boyd, was a gra cious meeting. A number were ad ded to the church and the members -'reatlv revived. There have been o ^ revivals at each of the country churches served by Mr. Boyd and the outlook is cheerful. • A Timely Reminder. Each season forces upon our con sideration its own peculiar perils to health. The advent of fall finds many reduced in strength and vigor, poorly prepared continue the busi ness of life. The stomachc and bow els, the great highway of animal economy, is especially liable to dis order in the fall. The nervous sys tem has also suffered in the struggle. Typhoid fever and malaria in par ticular find in the fall that combination of earth, air and water that mark this season as especially dangerous. The falling leaves, the decaying vegetables contribute their share of contamination. Hood's Sar saparilla furnishes a most valuable safeguard at these important points, and should be used in the fall before se-rious sickness has laid you low. Continues to Grow in Interest. The meeting now going on in the Methodist church in this city con ducted by Rev. H. B. Brown, of Rock Hill, is increasing in interest. Mr. Rrown is a preacher of great power, and by his earnest and tender man ner is rapidly drawing our commun ity together. There are many who are now seeking the salvation of their souls. It is not determined yet when the meeting will close. If the business men of the town would close up business for a few hours each day and let the clerks and others attend these services, it is believed it would be a paying investment. A New Cotton and Produce Exchange T. A. Camp, who has been at Spartanburg for the past several years, came to the city Tuesday and opened a produce and cotton ex change in the room in the rear of P. V. Gaffney’s confectionery store. The irresistible Tally Martin is the operator. Tally got in Wednesday morning. The Ledger is pleased to welcome its new neighbors. • — The Herald Don’t Know it Right. ( The farmers around Gaffney say that they don’t want a new county with Gaffney as the county seat.— Spartanburg Herald. The Herald comes nearer voicing its own sentiments than it does the sentiments of the “farmers.” Too late for the Herald to work the “farmers.” — The First Bale. The first bale of new’ cotton was brought to this market Tuesday by Robt. Allison, who lives between here and Broad River. It was sold to Carroll Carpenter for 8c. and classed as good middling. The weight was 550 pounds. -• •— — Bucklen’s Arnica Salve.
