Not as a matter of form, but be cause I am really grateful. I deaire pnbliely to express my hearty thanks to my friends who so faithfully stood to me in the lael election. I entered the race for office not to serve any personal ends, but because my friends thought I could usefully serve th* public. It grieves me that some peo ple saw fit to circulate so many alan- ders on me, and used such unfair means to defeat me. W hile my heart is very tender towards my friends who refused to believe those slanders, and defended me against them, I beg to assure those who op posed me by fair or foul means, that personally I wish them no harm, and officially I will serve them just a» faithfully as though they have helped me. In eonclusion, let me beg every body for the present at least, that they throw aside all prejudice and aid me in every way they can to manage the affairs of Cherokee county to the highest interest of all the people. With many thanks and g®od wishes, I am very respectfully. N. LirscoMB. A Card. Please allow me space in your columns to express my sincere thanks to the people of Cherokee county for the unselfish support which they gave me in the recent election. The many acts of kindness shown me dur ing the whole campaign touches my heart and intensities my desire to serve them as worthily as I possibly can. Respectfully, R. C. Sarratt.

I beg for the liberty of stating a few facts as they present themselves to me. There has been spirituous liquor in the world ever since the flood. Just a fact. And reasoning from the past to the future, there always will be liquor as long as there are men to drink it. A thing which has proved itself beneficial, yea, a necessity, to the human race cannot bo abolished because some men abuse it. Just a could (V> II and stay at home, and thousands of other things, too num erous to mention. - So let us go to work at once and see how much we can raise. I will see what I cm raise around Skull Shoals abd Gow- deyville and let any other gentleman do the same at his place. R. W. Davis. Fred Foster is home on a furlough. Star Farm Statements. (CorieHpon<lence of The Ledger.) Star Farm, Sept. 19.—We are having some more extremely hot weather, lor which the farmers are fact. If it is not, then, away with many of the drugs found in the doc tors' prescriptions, coffee, tobacco, and (my brothers shall we abolish the sacred institution ordained by God?) marriage. My friends you will never get rid of drunkenness by trying to take the whiskey away from men. You may hold up before the drunkard all the horrors of a red hot hell till the blaze almost singes his whiskers, and declare yourself retfdy to suffer all the tortures know* to raaa to save him ; and you may have succeeded iu enlisting the poor sot’s sympathy and in aroueing his anxiety to escape the flames; but a man's sympathy may be stirred to the very depths without his charac ter being once touched; and you can not incessantly whiff jthc flames of hell intoa man’s face. Consequently your drunkard must sooner or later fall back into the same old rut where you found him. You say you want ko save his soul. Amen, I say. Bui would he be saved if he docs not drink because he cannol get the whiskey? Again, sappofle you see me trotting down to hell and you ery out,‘-Stop sir! You are almost at hell; don’t you hear Cerebus bark ing, and old Satan olinki'ng bis chains, and the flames roaring?” You may check my pace. But if you do not tell me wha^. a beautiful place there is ak the jther end of the road and how dearly I am loved there and how anxiously waited for and ex pected, why, nine chances out of ten, I will loiter around there and tumble into the infen il den at night while you haate along to carry the same gloomy warnings to those fellows over yonder. Sk. Paul never preaebed prehibi- tion. That was not his way of solv ing the difficulty. Just a fact. No, he preached a positive Christianity. Just a fact. ‘-W’alk in the Spirif,” said he. “and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh,” He was far too sensible and knew too much about human nature to say: Abolish the lusts of the flesh and ye shall walk in the Spirit. He knew the expul sive power of a new affection. Our Lord never preached prohibi tion. Just a faet. He certainly never recommended drinking. But He did not refuse to turn the water into wine because, forsooth, He had a speck of confidence in human na- tare. Let a man think that no one has any confidence in him and he will soon prove himself unworthy of confidence. Solomon said, “If a man would have friends he must show himself friendly.” And I say if you want the confidence of men you musk show them that you ttust to their honor. Let us never lose sight of the fact that men are free beings. That was the kruth ex pressed in our Lord’s first miracle. Jn*o. Bkkan\ The Gowdeyville Telephone. (CarrespandMMe af Tbs bedger.) Gowdkyvillb, Sept. 19.—Mr. IMi- tor: You speak of R. P. Davis, of Gowdeyville, being Interested in a telephone line from Giffney to Gow deyville. You should have said R. W. Davis. I have the promise c! several dollars by responsible men. I asked your fellow townsman, Mr. J. A. Carroll, if he would help us build the proposed line. He said he would. That means much, for Mr. Carroll never takes bold of anything but what he makes a success of it. Hr. Editor, in regard to this matter I wish to say that it occurs to me that it would be a good plan for you to take the matter in hand and ap point a committee consisting of Messrs. J. A. Carroll. R. M. Wilains. A. A. Sarratt, T. D. Littlejohn, R. L. Jenes, L. C. Mabry, W. J. Prldmore and Hall Jefferies to look after the matter. Let every man who is in favor of the lino and wishes to help baild it let himself be known by see ing one of the above gentlemen and subscribing theabount he is willing to give. I would like for some gen tleman who has had some experience in building telephone linee to intorm you of the cost per mile and you publish that information in Thk Led- gsk and then we will have some idea about how much it will cost to run sixteen miles. You spoke of my taxing the suc- eessful candidates. When the can didates came around to see us they said by their action that they loved us, and we voted for them and helped them, and now we are 'sandidates. They can’t vole for us but they can give us $5 and that will help us and we will love them that much more. How is that for high? as Brother Dick Jolly would say. I saw some of the candidates before the election and they promised, if elected, that they would help us. Now let every one that has been elected give us $5, except Mr. Vinesett. I will say to the people along the proposed line that there la no end to Its worth. If we needed a doctor from Gaffney we could get him In half the time it now takes. If w? wanted a lawyer he eould be here in half the time. If we wattled to consult a lawyer wa very grateful. Cotton is opening very fast. I notice some of the far mers are having their cotton ginned, although the price is very low. Sam Jefferies, of this section, left last Tuesday for Clemson. He likes it very well. * The farmers have finished pulling fodder. Some of them are beginning to gather com. This Is a very buny time with the farmers. Mr. Bearn, the singing school mas ter, gave an extra day lust Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Jefferies, of Gowdeysville, visited this section last Saturday and Sunday. Mr. K. Littlejohn’s new engine which ho bought recently, is run ning every day. Some of the farmers are busy cut ting hay. They lost a lot of fodder during the wet weather. Mrs. Davis Jefferies is staying with her mother at present. She will go to Union soon.
