The price of wood in Gaffney has

THE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
Ofllrfi-H F.lerteri hihI Arrangement* t’om-
for the ••Smoker.”
The Municipal League met Wed
nesday evening at the home of Mr.
Geo. W. Cotton. The report of the
committee on constitution and by
laws was read and adopted. The
committee on the “smoker” to be
given tomorrow night reported pro
gress. This will be a nice social
affair and will doubtless prove a great
success. Let everybody turn out
and have a good time. The reception
committee will be on hand and see to
it that all visitors are made welcome.
After routine business hud been
completed it was agreed to go into an
election of officers, with the follow
ing result: President—Ed. H. De-
Camp; first Vice President—G. W.
Stegall; Second Vice President—
Perry Z. Holmes; Third Vice Presi
dent—J. B. Stroup; Secretary-Treas
urer—Samuel Reid; Assistant Sec
retary-Treasurer—J. R. Shuford.
Board of Directors—Messrs. W. Ste
gall, Hasty, F. G. Browning, Stroup,
G. W. Cotton, Win. G. Lees and L.
Hope.
It will be noted, perhaps, that the
majority of these gentlemen are from
the Carpet Mills. That is due to the
fact that the idea originated from
the employees of the mill and that so
far they are the principal movers.
A cordial invitation is extended,
however, to all male citizens of Gaff
ney twenty years of age to join.
The object of the organization is
purely social and to provote the gen
eral social and material welfare of
Gaffney. Go to the “smoker” to
morrow night and learn more about
the Municipal League.

The Victor cotton OH Mill.
Pursuant to notice published in the
Ledger, the books for subscriptions
to the stock of the Victor Cotton Oil
Mill, to be built in Gaffney, were
opened on Tuesday at the store of J.
N. Lipscomb & Co., on Limestone
street. All the stock was subscribed
and the company organized by elect
ing N. Lipscomd president, J.N. Lip
scomb treasurer and manager and
placed. Orders were placed for all
the necessary engines, boilers and
machinery for the mill.
A side tra.-t from the S. C. & G.
has been serveyed to the.side of mil),
streets will be extended to it in a few
days and D. K. Ceicil will begin on it
us soon asths plans for the building
are all completed.
The company are taking pinna to
have everything of the latest and
most approved style and when the
mill is completed to have in Gaffney
the most perfect thirty-ton cotton
oil mill in the State.
This mill will be in the hands of
competent businessmen, and we pre
dict for it a career most satisfactory
to the stockholders.
Cliifkvn* CouiluK.
Govan Black, one of Cherokee’s
most successful farmers called to see
The Ledger yesterday. Mr. Black is
one of those farmers who makes his
bread and meat at home. He reports
farm work behind but says ho is get
ting off in the chicken business this
spring as well us usual. His son
Eugene has charge of the chickens
and under his management they are
comeing into the world fast. Up to
this time he has hud 118 young ones
hatched, the hawks caught ten, and
the remaining 108 are growing off
finely. He now has eleven hens set
ting.
Mr. Black is careful with all his
farm work and his stock, with the re
sult that his home is always overflow
ing with the products of a well man
aged farm and the comforts and en
tertainment which they secure.
Mr. Smith Elected Warden.
The election Tuesday for wardens
to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of It. M. Wilkins was
noted for its quietness and the good
order which prevailed throughout the
day. Mr. Littlejohn, our efficient
postmaster, and Mr. W. H. Hraith, one
of our most progressive business men,
were the only candidates. And so
close was the vote no one could ap
proximate the result until the count
was finished, which developed
that Mr. Smith had received eleven
votes more than Mr. Littlejohn.
Mr. Smith will make a good warden
and will have no more ardent sup
porter in all his efforts to advance
the interest of Gaffney than Mr. Lit
tlejohn. *
Kwllroad Survey.
Captain Kingsley has completed
the survey locating the line of the
S. 0. ifc G. proposed new road from
Gaffney to CliitOn and is now out
on the line locating Mand lines and
other Incidental data before beginning
work.
We learn that Capt. Kingsley will
complete this work this week and
hope that the work of grading will
then soon follow.
Facts Without Frills
Our goods are always easy to sell. We do not
have to talk an arm off a customer to sell a bill.
The goods sell themselves. They are bought right;
right as to quality and price, right as to pattern and
style, right as to color and design.
We have no hard stock. Our goods are new and
fresh and seasonable and are what the people want.
We handle no damaged goods. Goods will get
damaged soon enough when you begin to wegr
them and, if they are damaged to start with, there
is not much wear to be got out of them.
We sell good, substantial goods at the same prices
that are usually charged for shoddy goods and for
much less than other people have to charge for the
same class of goods. So convinced are we that the
prices cannot be beat that we have a standing offer
to take back and refund the money for any goods,
if the purchaser finds after leaving the store that
the prices can be beat, or for any other reason. No
fairer offer can be made than this and no store that
does not know that it has the lowest possible prices
would dare to make it.
Our trade is increasing every day and we know
that the people bring us their cash because they
get big value for it and because when they have
cash to spend they know it is to their interest td'
spend it at a store that does a strictly cash busi
ness.
A Fire.
About 11 o’clock Wednesday night
the fire alarm was sounded which
soon aroused the people, who, as soon
as they left their houses saw
that the fire was in the central part
of town which increased the excite
ment and made the rush to see rapid
and general.
The fire originated in T. Daven
port’s large barn on the alley just
east of Limestone Street near R. C.
Corry's house. The barn was a large
frame building and contuintd a large
quanity of hay, some oats and corn,
besides Mr. Davenport’s house car
riage and delivery wagons. The
horses, wagons, and carriage were res
cued from the burning building and
saved. The fire was soon commun
icated to Corry’s burn which also con
tained horses mules wagons and feed
nearly all of which was taken out be
fore the fire had made much headway.
The barn, however,like Davenport's
was entirely consumed.
Every effort possible was made to
save the building but without avail,
as is usual with buildings of their char
acter. Mr. Davenport’s loss will
amouut to $350 and Corry.s to
probably $250 which is a total loss
as their was no insurance on either
of the buildings.
It is not known how the fire origi
nated.
44 Trust Not to ,
Appearances.
Wat which seems hard to
bear may be a great blessing.
Let us take a lesson from the
rough weather of Spring, k
is doing good despite appear
ances. Cleanse the system
thoroughly; rout out ail
impurities from the blood
with that greatest specific,
Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Instead of sleepless nights, with con*
sequent irritableness and an undone,
tired feeling, you will have a tone and a
bracing air that will enable you to euter
into every day's work with pleasure.
Remember, Hood’s never disappointt.
