There are many GatTney people at
tending court this week. Some of
them are missed while others never
would be. Strange, isn’t it, how
some people can impiess men by
their gentle kindness while others
only leave the impress of their rude
ness and insensibility to tlie tender
cords of humanity.
Miss Sallie, a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. A, J. Robinson died last

We are sorry that .vc could not at
tend the Masonic picnic at Gowdey-
ville yesterday but it being our pub
lication day it was not convenient to

note that it was a great success and
that all who attended enjoyed them
selves immensely. Our thanks are
due Jus. T. Drown for an invitation.
Gaffney has got one of the best
bicycle tracks now in the State. It
has been built by lots of work and
big outlay of money, AH tin* same
GatTney has it ami It is a pretty sight
to see seventy-live or more wheel
men and women on It these after
noons. They have the best makes of
wheels and they know how to ride on
them.
The executive committee appointed
at the railroad meeting some
days ago arc progressing rapidly with
their work. K very body is giving
what is asked and numbers are re
sponding with ext ra donations, That
is just like GatTney people, they
know a good thing when they see it,
and will on all proper occasions come
up to the scratch.
We take a special pride in this
issue of The Ledger. It Is brim full
of news. The credit is not due to
the management alone. Kind friends
hav* contributed thejr share; corres
pondents have done well and as ener
getic and persevering a group of work
men as ever graced a printing office
have done their duty nobly. We are
proud of the paper. We arc proud
of our force us well.
Two weeks ago we stated that the
mother of 1’rof. McArthur was very
low, when it should have been the
wife of Frof. McArthur instead. We
make this correction bcoause some
of Mrs. McArthur’s Mississippi rela
tives who read The Ledger are much
concerned about her We are pleased
to he able to state Hiat Mr. McAr
thur’s mother mother is enjoying
splendid health for one of her years.
The Ledger desires to call atten
tion to the card of “A Tax Payer” in
this issue. It is a timely subject and
one which is now uppcrmosi in the
minds of our city fathers. The
health of the community demands
that something he done. The alto
gether too frequent appearance of the
dread typhoid fever in our midst
should be impetus enough to do
something. The city council have
authorized an election on the ques
tion. If you love your town vote
“Yes.”

A Systematic Plan ot Robbing Wood
Haulers Exposed.
Carroll Carpenter, Lessees of the
Limestone Springs Lime Works, buy
largo quantities of wood, part of
which they have delivered and cord
ed near their Dummy R. R. track,
between their warefiouso and water
tank. They have more or less on
hand all the year round.
For the past two or three years
they have known that some one was
stealing wood from their racks, and
at different times they have offered
the police $5 each if they would de
tect and arrest the thief with proof
to convict. Failing in this, other
plans were adopted. Early last
Thursday morning as the dummy
stopped at their tank for water, Con
ductor B. L. Hames noticed fresh
wagon tracks lending to and from a
rack of the company’s wood, there
having been a shower of rain the
night before, thereby making it an
easy matter to track a wagon at that
early hour. Mr. Hames, accompa
nied by Engineer Ferguson, followed
these wagon tracks to two or three
negro houses, whereupon by sharp
inquiring they caught a clue to the
true situation. Putting their ques
tions like practical lawyers to the re
cipients of this st ole it wood, they
elicited the Information that the
wood had been hauled to them by
Geo. Manning, alias Son Manning,
who drove Abo Smith’s wagon.
Soon as this information was given
to the management, Mr. Hames was
instructed to summons Chief Camp
and go at once and arrest, the said
George Manning. Chief Camp and
Mr. Hames found George hoeing cot
ton near the colored Methodist church
and upon arresting him he told Hie
story of the theft, In substance he
stated that he had delivered the wood
hereinbefore refoared to and that, he
had, with the help and under the di
rection of Abo Smith, loaded his
wagon from a pile of wood belonging
to Carroll <fe Co., Lessees. Upon this
testimony Abe Smith was arrested
and after further investigations lie
admitted the theft charged against
him,
Carroll it Co., Lessees, have fre
quently been annoyed by parties
hauling wood claiming that their
wood had been hauled away before it
had been measured. Every investi
gation of these complaints proved
that no employee of Carroll it Co.,
had ever moved the wood. The ar
rest of Abo Smith and his admission
of the theft, explains fully the disap
pearance of people’s wood who hud
delivered it for the Lime Company.
There is no way of ascertaining the
amount stolen, but In all probability
it would reach between 200 and 30(>
cords.
Every wood hauler having lost
wood from his pile on Dummy Rail
way should prosecute his ease as
abundant proof can bo procured.

pleased with the management. Dr.

pected by the girls.
The chair of Latin in Furman has
been tilled by the election of Prof.
Charles S. Estes, of Maine, to that
position. Prof. Estes is a graduate
of Colby University and John Hop-
kin’s, and all who know him unite in
saying that Furman is especially for
tunate in securing him. B. E. Geer,
of this year’s class, has been elected
assistant in the preparatory depart
ment, and if h^keeps up the record
as a teacher which he has made as a^
student, it will be hard to fiad^TCet-
ter.
