NEW COUNCIL IN SESSION.
THEY MET ON LAST FRIDAY
NIGHT.
The Various Committees Appointed
and Other Business Transacted
by the New Coucil—Po
licemen Elected.
The new city council met for the
first time to transact business last
Friday night, Mayor X. H. Littlehohn
and Aldermen R. A. Jones, J. A. Car-
roll. L. Baker and W. II. Richardson
being present.
Alderman Jones was elected mayor,
pro tem.
Alderman Carroll was elected
treasurer.
J. E. Webster, Esq., was re-elected
clerk for the next two years.
The council then went into an elec
tion for police. B. F. Camp was re
elected chief and B. A. Lipscomb was
re-elected assistant. This insures the
city excellent police protection as it
would bo diflicult indeed to get two
more conservative, conscientious and
efficient men than these. In fact, it
would be impossible to improve on
them. No other men are more zeal
ous and at the same time more court
eous than they are.
The election of a superintendent of
streets was postponed.
Mayor Littlejohn appointed the fol
lowing standing committees:
1. Ways and Means—J. A. Carroll,
L. Baker and R. A. Jones.
2. Streets, Public Grounds and
Cemeteries—R. A. Jones and L. Baker.
3. Accounts—L. Baker, W. H.
Richardson arid R. A. Jones.
4. Electric Lights and Water Works
—L. Baker, W. II. Richardson and
R. A. Jones.
5. License, Guard House and Po
lice—W. H. Richardson, R. A. Jones
and L. Baker.
6. Town Property—L. A. Baker and
R. A. Jones, with the mayor as chair
man.
7. Contracts—R. A. Jones and J.
A. Carroll, with the mayor as chair
man.
The hog law, of which so much was
said during the recent campaign, w’as
repealed, so now there are no restric
tions on raising hogs within the city
limits. •
The meeting was perfectly harmon
ious and, all in all, the new council
bids fair to do a good work as servants
of the people.
More Election News.
The limited time between the de
cision of the judges and tho hour of
going to press last week prevented us
^rom giving anything like as good a
report of the election as we desired.
However, these matters cannot al
ways corn© out just as we would like
to have them so we meekly bow to
the inevitable. The following is tho
tubulated report of tho judges:

It will be seen from tho above that
no full ticket was elected. L. Baker’s
popularity is demonstrated by his
leading all the other candidates. Mr.
^Wood’s small vote is probably due
moro to the fact that he did not do
any electioneering than anything
else, as he is a popular and highly
esteemed citizen.
A Preponderous Engine.
' A Ledger representative went over
to the new mill one day this week to
admire its huge proportions and the
beautiful, wonderful machinery.
The master piece is the big Corlis
Engine with its giant like propeller
moving as a thing animated with life
and driving the thousands of spindles
which turn cotton into yarn and the
looms which turn yarn into cloth.
The dimensions across the face is
108 inches and it is twenty-eight feet
in diameter. The full horse power is
15,000. W. G. Gregory is the cour
teous foreman of the engine room and
is ably assisted by the genial J. B.
Turner.
Death At Earles.
Miss Lila Runyans died at her
home at Earles on Sunday March 1st
at the age of eighteen years. Sho
was a daughter oj J. M and Alice
Runyans, and was most highly es
teemed. Hers was a pure lovely
Christian life and she made many
friends, winning her way into the
hearts of all who eame in contact
with her. Her remains were laid to
rest Monday.
Have You Paid Your License?
If you.haven’t paid your license to
do business for the ensuing term now
is a good time to do .so. The license
are due in advance, and to save the
authorities the embarrassment of
notifying you it would be a good plan
to call on them.

APPROACHING THE CENTURY.
A Host of Relatives and Friends—A
Natal Day.
Last Sunday quite a number of rel
atives and friends assembled at the
home of Mrs. Mary Petty about tlm e
miles from Gaffney. The occasion
was the celebration of Mrs. Petty s
birth day. She is among the oMe.sl
people in this country, and naturally
the return of another birth day was
full of interest to all her relatives and
friends.
Mrs. Petty was born March S. 1805.
and has just passed her l)3d year.
She is tho eldest of her father’s chil
dren, but has survived them all. She
has come to this ripe old age with un
usual strength and v itality. Her
mind is vigorous and seems to possess
tho activity of younger days.
This ninety-third celebration of her
birth wasamost pleasant one. Many
kindred and friends were present
with cheering words and tokens of
esteem and love.
By prearrangement the excellent
dinner was brought and spread in
Mrs. Petty’s dining room and tin-
sight of mother, grand-mother and
great- grand-mother, all seated at the
table, was an imposing spectacle.
After dinner was served a few words
was spoken by her pastor, Rev. J. H.
Grout, which Were appropriate to the
occasion, and then ail joined in sing
ing her favorite hymn, “Jesus, lover
of my soul.” This was followed by
the administration of tic sacrament
and prayer, after which friends aud
relatives bade each other good bye.

Lart Saturday the attorneys for J.
ft. Little served notice of contest of
tlio recent election for intendenl on
the town council. They claim that
fraudulent ballots were cast and that
as a consequence the whole election
was illegal.
The notice goes on to cite certain
parties as having voted illegally and
also that they have reason to believe
they voted for Mr. Littlejohn.
The counsel for the contest* e have
been in the- city severaldi.Terent times
working up th evidence. We do not
know what course will be pursued in
the matter, or how it will have to pro
ceed to reach the courts. In the
meantime tiie council continues to
conduct business, and whether or not
the courts will order a new elect ion
cannot be determined. The question
that arises i > “Should the courts si:.--
, tain the contesteo will the work of
tho present council be legal?” f >
i one seems to know anything about
it. Tim '-out os tee and council and
