There is an air of business about the old Goudelock corner and the lot in front of the former Ledger office. It is such steps as these that make a city. Luke Corry, the irrepressible hotel porter, arrived home from Ashville last week where he had been spending the season with one of the fashonable summer resort hotels of that city. On next .Monday the commissioners of election for ’Cherokee county will meet in the court house in this city for the purpose of making the ne cessary arrangements for the No vember election. Itev. y.

Littlejohn having been aj - pointed by the Court as an export to examine pnd reporfc on the hooks of vurioui county cSices, and finding %!wt rlo hns not soffielent time in which to accomplish the work and report thereon to us at this Court, we oecommend that he have further time and report fully to the next terra of this court. We recommend that the Sheriff jail waMMc ventilated, having \hxm feported to oup body that a certain school house in School District, No. 12, has been illegally appropriated to private use we suggest and recommend that the County Superintendent of Education and the trustees of said district inves tigate thoroughly into this matter and take such action as may be nec essary to restore and preserve the tmin* te the county. We buve examined the two dispen saries of the county, Gaffney and B!tt«ke%nrg, and we find no violation of law relative to the same, so far as we are able to ascertain. We recommend that the law be en forced, so as to insure the more prompt and punctual attendance up on Court by jurors and witnesses, as we find both very negligent and care less In this respect, thus entailing considerable unnecessary expense to the county. We are informed that one Susan James alias Susan Spencer, is keeping a bawdy house in Draytonville Town ship, and we recommend that she be apprehended, and we present tiie fol lowing as witnesses for the State: John Owens, Newton Raines, W. S. Wilson, John Barnhill, James Service (son of Robert, deceased) and John W. Blackwell. We thank the Honorable Court, Solicitor and various officers for cour- teslag attended to us.

Edmonds of Baltimore, editor of the Manu facturers’ Record says: 'I regard your pamplet ‘Facts. About the South' as the most con densed presentation of the condition of the South industrially before and since the war I have ever seen. Your facile presentation of statistics (as to the progress of the South before the war) is almost incredible in this direc tion. and brings out the fact that the resources of the South in agriculture, in her iron and coal beds, in her develo ment of innnufactures, in her lurabtJ production and in every other lines shows the possibility of wealth development which puts the South far ahead of almost any other equal section in the world. The wealth producing elements are almost in juxtaposition and are found in in exhaustible quantities. It also brngs out the fact that, while the South has been represented as having an inert, r.on-progressive population, they are, on the contrary, full of energy, valor and intelligence. “I repeat, I consider your pamph let the most important issued since the war in demonstrating by indis putable facts the conditon . of the South before, during and since the war, and removing false and untrue impressions as to the South and her people, showing also her marvelous recuperation from ruin and her present wonderful prosperity. “Yopr new edit on of that pamph let should be put in the hands of all leading business men, bankers and others in the South, the North and generally distributed in every direct ion. It should he scattered broad cast. It was a revelation to me, and I have used its contents more freely in the interest of the South than any publication in my reach." This pamphlet should be read by every man, womaa and child who wants to know about the South, what it ac complished before the war and what it is doing to-day. It can be had by sending 20 cents to the author, Rich ard H. Edmonds, Baltimore. It’s unnecessary for a man to be a brilliant conversationalist in order to hold his own in soliloquy. Myers—Glover. Married on Sept. 20th, at the resi dence of the brides father, Mr. John Myers, of Spartanburg, to Mias Belle Glover, of Whitney, Rev. A. A. James officiating. Mr. and Mrs. M. M.
