(Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, Dec. 27.—Two of the hardest things in the world to do is to drive a mule and hold back a fool at the same time. The editor has been after me again with a sharp stick for illegible writ ing. The rain has put the roads in an awful bad lix. In some places they are almost impossible to- travel. If one will place himself upon any of the public roads leading to Gaffney City just before the holidays he will get some idea of the business of the city, in a commercial sense. I spent the night with Mr. A. F. Kendrick and family while in the city last week and made some new acquaintances among his boarders. Among them Mr. William Fitzsim mons, who is running a cabinet shop in town. He has all the fixtures for doing first class work and is a very pleasant, intelligent,and gentlemanly sort of a fellow. Workmen of differ ent kinds will always find a hearty welcome and liberal patronage among the good people of that thriving town and county besides. We want more home industries for any and all kinds of work. Some married people, I notice, get more loving as they get older. Per haps they are each other’s apologies for misspent lives, and its better to make them late in life than never. When religious meeting of any kind are taken advantage of by mat rimonial adventurers to do their courting, its time to knock out the props and let the crash come. If a man’s reputation is an insufficient guarantee for his welcome its time for him to discontinue his visits and try somewhere else. The happiness of many a bright home has been blasted by brainless match making. Puppy love doesn’t last long and is always treacherous. The anxion “all’s well that ends well” sounds well enough; but ‘‘all’s well that works weil sounds” much better. On account of his unlawful peram- bulutory, nocturnal ramblings, Dixie has been confined in the bovine cala boose to keep him at home and make him behave himself. In turning on the light we find that Cherokee county is the scene of some of the most notable ^incidents con nected with our country’s history. It was among the White Hills of Pacolet that Gideon Blake shot and killed Hugh Habersbaw’s bull dog, “Beauty,” who was sitting upon his haunches between bis master’s feet while the latter was enjoying a snooze superinduced by a night’s debauch. It came about in this way; Habershaw was a swaggering braggart, bully and blackguard who, among others of his ilk, espoused King George’s cause as against that of the patriots during the revolu tionary war, and he was consequently put at the head of the tory forces in this section, ostensibly for the pur pose of patrolling the county between Enoree and Broad river. With his crowd, be lay in ambush, at Grindall Shoals, one dark night, to intercept Horse Shoe Robinson and Major Butler, who were en route Lo Augusta. This exploit cost him the life of two of his men, but resulted in the cap ture of the two patriots, who were taken into camp on the north side of Pacolet, when they were to be tried next morning and, no doubt, would have been severely dealt with but for a fortuitous train of circumstances by which they escaped. It seems that Habershaw had given orders for a detail of men to deploy and drive through the woods with lighted torches by which they could shine the deer’s eyes and thus get an opportunity to kill them. After his corps of hunters left camp Haber- shaw, who was too drunk to follow, started after them, but falling down and being unable to go further, he eat down by the root of a tree to await the return of the hunters. During the time he went to sleep, his faithful dog guarding him. The hunters returning, seen the dog's eyes shining in the dark and, think ing it a buck, took aim and laid him dead at his masters’s fees. Henry McDaniel is satisfied that he gained fully two dollars per bale by selling his cotton at Lockhart mills this year. To keep his Christmas gift account straight, your corespondent has had to kiss a number of the young girls and old ones too. I had the pleasure of attepding the 8unday Hchool Convention at Ararat yesterday. Although the day was wet and cold a number of Hunday school workers mot and dispatched the business of the convention in regular order. Of this convention I can say that during the nine years of its existence it has never failed to meet quarterly, and It is the resolve of Its members to make its work more effective next year than ever before. Hereafter one of the main features of its work will be a general review of the quarter's lessons, in which, not only the officers and dele gates, but the scholars present will be requested to take a part. As the time approaches, more pud more interest centers in the work be fore the legislature. What will be done with the liquor traffic, is the leading question before that body. 8o far as your correspondent is con cerned he is uncompromisingly in favor of prohibition, simple, full and complete. Tne only question is how shall this be enacted into a lav that people will respect. Its a big ques tion now before us and our people must hold up the hands of their rep resentatives and not wait for them to come back and then begin to com plain. 8peak now or forever hold your peace. I firmly believe that 99 per cent, of the people (I mean those who haven’t lost all'their self respect and control) who go to town would return home sober men if there wasn’t a drop of liquor there to “bade them into temptation.” There is more good than evil in this Adam's race if given a fair showing. There is just as many gentlemen who take drinks as who let it alone. The only misfor tune is that when this fire of hell kindles itself in a man’s brain it consumes his soul and body and sends him home to his family u raving ma niac, instead of the true loving brother, son, husband or father he should be. The future hope of our country is in the boys who are coming on to take the places of their fathers and grandfathers, and our whole lives should be devoted to throwing around them that protection that will save them from ruin and disgrace. Won’t our people stand by their colors and see that this damnable grog shop business is expugned from our State and, if possible, from the nation. The State has no right to create a $1 ,000 funnel with which to pour li quors down the throats of our boys and ruin them both for time and eter nity. The philcsopher looks in vain for a reason to justify a continuance of this satanic rufe. In order to keep his hold upon the public the profes sional politician has a faint hope that public sentiment will justify his compromising the interest of his con stituents. There will be communion at Salem next Sabbath, 2nd. Services will be gin Saturday afternoon. M rs. Katie Blackwell is visiting Mrs. J. L. Strain today. Mr. Giles Hill came down to see us this a. m. He is getting along very well and will soon be going every where on his crutches. Mrs. Sallie Estes came to see us this morning. The Christmas jolliificationists, I understand,had a meeting at Sarratt’s old store last Saturday and every thing went off pleasantly, including the little case of phlebotomy. The rabbit hunters are having a good day for their business. The Christian Endeavor Society met at the home of Mrs. T. J. Estes last night. Mr. R. E. Kerr fixed the bridge at the Davidson place last week, and wo have no further complaints to make about it. Mr. and Mrs. H. B. McDaniel, and children, of Hickory Grove, are visit ing your correspondent. Lust week I promised our readers to give them a rest but, finding that The Ledgeu would appear this week I concluded to give a short letter this week, and I hope that will be a sufficient cause for my intrusion. I learn that the free schools will not run longer than six weeks this season. This is poor encouragement to those who depend upon public aid to educate their children. Can’t our Legislature arrange to have them run at least 5 months each year. The young people had a singing at R. A. Foster’s one night last week and several of the horses were turned loose from their hitching places. J. L. s. Pools Pencilings. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Pools.

The school entertainment which came off at the Ravenna Academy last Friday evening was a grand suc cess. Ifrim >peaking by the stu dents showed thorough preparation and talent of a h igh order, each part was well performed and received merited praise. The Academy was tastily and beautifully decorated by the students and it was completely filled with attentive and appreciative listeners. We were all thankful that the vsrp best order prevailed. There was no drinking nor boistrous be havior. It was a time long to be re membered by all who were so fortu nate as to be present on that occa sion. Mr. and Mrs. Greene, of Union, visited at T. C.

Price took a business trip to Gaffney lust Wednesday. W. H. Swofford went to Spartan burg last Wednesday on business. Mrs. J. L. Clary and Mrs. .1. Gard ner went to Cowpens last Friday on a shopping tour. History tells us that 271 years ago or in 162C that Peter Minit bought Man hattan Island from the Indians for $24. The problem we want The Ledger readers, especially the “Kernel,” to solve is the following: Since 1626 the rate of interest in this country, where money has always been in demand, has ranged from six per cent, up to highway robbery. But we’ll be con servative and put it eight per cent. Now if Peter had loaned his $24 at eight per cent, compound interest from then until this date what would be the interest on it. and how much has his heirs lost by his mistake?
