••OUT IN THE ri Nil.-
We were in Jilacksburg Wednes
day and a gentleman, a friend and
subscriber of The Ledger, took oc
casion to say that The Ledger had
done as much to build up (julfney
and create Cherokee county as any
other factor, lie also seemed to in
timate that the paper did considera
ble “blowing." But he did not inti
mate it in a manner that was ob
jectionable. We appreciate the
compliment and are glad that it
gives us a text from which to say a
few words. We are well aware that
most people think that all a news
paper lias to do is to “toot the horn"
for the town in which it is located.
Some papers may have no higher
conception of life. This paper lias.
We believe in telling the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth. Sometimes we may appear
extravagant in our claims. Some
times we may make false statements,
but we ask you to bear in mind that
the aim lias been to tell a truthful
story, to portray things us they
really are. We believe in saying
everything good we can about Gaff
ney and Cherokee county and we be
lieve that we should, in charity,
withhold anything that is bad where
it does no one harm to withhold it.
The object of all should be to build
up, create and foster everything
tiiat will tend to to the good of our
fellowmun. Everything that this
paper has advocated since its crea
tion was with that object in view.
The paper was started by its pro
moters with that object in life and
so long as it remains under its pres
ent management just so long will it
continue in the course mapped out
for it. If we make mistatements we
will cheerfully correct them when
shown our error. We ask anyone
who does not believe that this town
and county has not progressed as we
say it has to come among us and in
quire for themselves, or better still
come and live with us a while and
experience for themselves. Time
and time again have we had inquiries
about Gaffney and Cherokee through
the mail asking about the chances of
success of various enterprises. In
variably the answer has been that
no town or county in the Piedmont
stetion, size considered, offers better
advantages. But we always add
that our streets are not paved witli
gold; fortunes are not made in a day,
a week, a month, or a year. If you
come to Gaffney to locate you need
not expect to ride on flowery beds of
ease. It takes push, enterprise,
perseverance, determination and de
cision to succeed here. These quali
ties will succeed anywhere. The
truth of the matter is that we have
more of these magnificent qualities
to the square inch than any town in
this section. We put our heads to
gether when we see a good thing and
go after it. We do not wait for good
things to come to us. Good tilings
do not go begging. They are sought
after and the town or community
that hesitates is doomed. We have
fewer chronic grumblers than any
town we know of. We have some
loafers, but they are few and far
between. The truth is that any man
who wants work can get it, not only
in Gaffney but anywhere on earth.
He may not get exactly what he
wants but he can get something to
do if he will try, and after he gets it
he can keep it if he is honest, in
dustrious and wants to keep it. He
will not only keep it but he will rise
in the world.
The trouble about many places is,
they have too many chronic grumb
lers and loafers and fault-finders.
This world and the respective com
munities in which they live would
be better off without them. We
wish we did not have a loafer or a
chronic grumbler in Cherokee county.
Of course this is too ideal to dream
of, but we could do without them.
We wish there were no grumblers in
Gaffney and Blacksburg and other
places in the county. The whole
county would be better off. Hhake off
this terrible habit, you grumblers,
even if you have to take the Keely
cure for it, and begin to praise your
town and county. Hee if God has
not given you a nobler mission in
life than to bo forever finding fault
with everything. Go to work and do
aomething for yourself if you cannot
do something for somebody else. Do
not be a Dead Ben—continually tak
ing into yourself all that is pure and
good of the water of life and never
giving out anything. Wo want to
see every farmer in this county pros
per and make money. We want to
see every man in the county put his
shoulder to the wheel and push.
Talk progress, put your mite into
any safe investment Unit you feel
like, and join the band of progress
iveness and then you will feel like
living and your country will bo proud
of you and will never regret the day
that you came upon the scene.
These suggestions arc not meant
for any particular locality but fur the
good of the entire county and we
trust to see some take hold and put
them into practice. In other words,
let the chronic grumblers and loafers
“get in the push."
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Those of our readers who did not
find the communication in our last
issue in regard to the dereliction of
Judge Beuet will be able to do so to
day. We put it in somewhat larger
type this time.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
We have received recently quite a
lot of correspondence in regard to
questions and answers of “IVuella,"
“J. L. 8.," “Blue Bird." etc. The
same is growing to such an extent
that we are compelled to omit it, for
the present at least, otherwise real
news would be crowded out. You
have had enough fun for the present,
boys. After a while we will open up
along that line and let you enjoy
yourselves once more. Kindly send
us all the news of your section for a
while now and let us make The Led
ger a county paper indeed.

In the death of M. G. Montgomery
this city loses a valuable citizen ; one.
who, had lie been spared life and
blessed with good health, would have
done his share in the upbuilding of
this town and county. Cut off in his
young manhood, leaving behind a
young wife and babe and a mother
whose Godlike devotion to her in
valid son was stumped with the em
blem of purity and love, we cannot
think of it without a feeling of ten-
derest sympathy for the deceased
and the loved ones left behind. M>ke
had his peculiarities but we all loved
him for his frankness, determination
and the wonderful tenacity with
which he hung on to life and en
deavored almost in the shadow of
death to perform the duties that his
creator put him here to perform.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.

on a hot stove. He called us all
sorts of “pizen” snakes, varmints,
stinging insects and such like, but
said lie was not making a comparison.
Really he had a severe case of run
ning off at the mouth, to which he is
subject. These come on him with
out a moment’s warning, so ,ur us

we know to do is to impale him on

The Dereliction of Judge llenet.
(Correspondence of The ledger.)
Is there no relief for litigants?
Two years ago Judge Benet heard
argument in the Flint Hill gold
mine case and so far as 1 can learn
he has handed down no opinion yet.
About the same time (two years ago)
he beard argument in the case of T.
J. Campbell vs. R. E. Linder as
executor. This last mentioned case
was argued before his honor merely
to ascertain who should pay costs,
etc. Tiie case had already slowly
gone the rounds of the different
tribunals up to the Supreme Court
and then from a technical stand
point it was started on another
stopping so fur tw’e years trip,
with Judge Benet and finding his
companionship so congenial no defi
nite time has been fixed for its de
parture for some other legal home.
So far as I cun learn there is no way
or means by which this visitor of the
Judge's can be ushered on and no
known way of forcing the Judge to
expel his companion—pitied, en
dured, now embraced.
About JfSOO.OO has been tied up
for two years; this at 8 percent, is
$123.00 actual lost to bjtli parties
to the suit, and who is to blame?
The constitiition of the State gives
a judge 00 days to hand diwn an
opinion. He ignores the basic law
and takes two years (or infinite
years as it appears) and all the
litigants can do is to wait, wait
w-a-i-t! Suppose Mr. Benet were to
die—it couldn't be any worse?
But where is tlie trouble, in the
law or in the judge? Evidently in
both. The law should be that a
judge could collect no part of bis
salary until lie had disposed of ail
cases which he hud in his possession
00 days. I think it will go without
contradiction that any judge who
cannot determine any case within 00
dajs is incompetent and unworthy
that responsible place. In bis case, in
the hands of Judge Benet, incompe-
teney could not be charged, for Mr.
Benet is an able man, or so regarded.
Then why is he so slow? I can see
no other reason but indifference.
There certainly ought to he a remedy
for such a terrible malady is this. I
believe it i» agreed that the law’s de
lays is the cause of lynebings and
mob violence in every form. If this
be true how can a Judge like Mr.
Benet say aught against such
crimes.
Suppose Mr. Benet is doing all
over the State as he has done in one
or two counties in the upper por
tion. How many cases has he now
locked up? How much money is
involved? How much loss is he en
tailing? It would be hard to de
termine. Where are our legislatures?
Will they give us relief or allow mat
ters to continue just as they have in
the past?
I am not seeking political honors
but if I were my platform would be
something like this : “Let us legis-
tate the courts and the people will
need little legislation."

Ledger:—If you will allow me space
in your paper I will try to give you
a few dots from this place. I am a
new hand at the bellows and can not
tell you much.
The season that has just come has
made the farmers millons of dollars.
It came in the best time it could
have come. But, to say nothing of
the seasons, the farmers are furt ur
In hind than they have bjen in ten
years. It will be the tenth of May
before lots of them will get done
planting.
Mr. Editor I have just read the
peace from New nan, Ga , about the
miming of Hose. Of course his crime
was terrible; such as seldom occurs
While I deeply abhor such b'ack
bruites, I do think the law is amply
able to deal out sucli punishment to
such outlaws us Hose us would met
the approval of the whole country. It
does seem that no matter how bud a
crime is that people who were even
partly civilized would have headed
liis cries for mercy anyhow and allow-
cd-the lawjto take its course. He wou'd
have met justice at the end of tie
rope if they would have let him
alone. But whatever may be done
or said now can’t mend the matter a
bit. But I hope every black brute
that has such in his heart may take
warning from such cases and God
spend the time to come when people
will quit taking thier fellowmau’s

Correspondence of Tne ledger.I
Near Algood P. U., April 2S.—Be
fore resuming the article not con
cluded in last week’s paper let me
make a slight correction or two in
said article. I notice first that the
impression from that article would
bo left on the minds of all that we
received the news of Gen’l. Lee’s sur
render on the very day it took place.
We did not receive it until next day,
which was the 10th day of April.
Also, the statement that Mr. Lincoln
was assassinated on the 11th of April.
He was ussinated on the 14th and we
received the news on the morning of
the loth. History is authority for
these corrections.
Resuming my article as above
corrected:
The old Hag continued at half mast
until all funeral obsequies over the
body of Mr. Lincoln were over and
his remains laid to rest, then gradu
ally it rose again to the top of the
high poll. All this time the prison
ers seemed very much affected over
this horrible affair, for if conspiracies,
riots, lawlessness and revolting mur
ders were committed in various parts
of Hie country they were never led or
abetted by Confederate soldiers. The
pall of gloom and sadness were writ
ten in the faces of all inside the
prison. Mr. Lincoln had in one sin
gle act of mercy endeared himself to
every prisoner on the island. The
sequel was the conviction by the
United States courts martial of a
young Confederate soldier who was
caught recruiting for the Confederate
army intiJe the Federal lines. He
was sentenced to death by the court.
As this letter from him, copied by
many of us from his own hand, is self-
explanatory I enclose it:
Joiixfox’s Island, Ohio.
Feby., Kith, 1805
My Dear Friends :—Time is short;

Farewell my friends; may a long and

Mr. Lincoln changed (ho sentence
of death, under which this young
mail was placed by the court, the
day before he was to be hanged, to
that of imprisonment during the war.
This is not the only Instance In
which Mr. Lincoln showed that
greatness of heart by which, in great
emergencies, he was always con
trolled. Every little boy and girl In
our public schools is familiar with
the story of “Bennie and Blossom”—
how cheerfully Mr. Lincoln received
little Blossom, how attentively ho
heard her distressing story, how
| quickly and grandly he gave her her
I dear brother’s life, while the very
| fate of the nation was trembling
| under his administration. He was
j one of the nation’s great self-made
men. Springing as he did from the
humble walks in life he labored hard
and almost wholly educated himself.
He was not very prominently brought
into public life until his nominatioin
for the presidency by the Republican
party in 1800. Since then his record
is before us. His assassination on
the evening of the 14th of April,
18G5, is one of the darkest blots on
the pages of American history. But
the dark gloom of that April was
rapidly passing away. General John
son surrendered to Gen. Sherman
during the last days of this month.
Only Gen. Kirby Smith—one Confed
erate gunboat—was all that remained
in open hostilities against the United
States in the interest of the Southern
cause the first of May. Soon these
folded their colors and the blessed
sunshine of peace once more shone
out over a lacerated and bleeding
country, and the great sectional
chasm that was carved wide and deep
by this, the greatest civil war found
upon the pages of any portion of the
civilized world, has finally and for
ever, as we hope, been closed up. and
we are brothers again in all common
interests, in the greatest and best
government the world ever saw.
Sweet May had passed away and
we were still in prison the first of
June, but dear old Col. Hill was work
ing hard every day preparing release
rolls according to date of capture.

This fearful disease often first appears
as a mere scratch, a pimple, or lump in
the breast, too small to attract any
notice, until, in many cases, the deadly
disease is fully developed.
Cancer can not be cured by a surgical
operation, because the disease is a virulent
poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although
the sore or ulcer—known as the Cancer—may be cut away, the
poison remains in the blood, and'promptly breaks out afresh, with
renewed violence.
The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few de-
snairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill of
tne physicians without a cure. Much to their delight S. 8. S. proved
equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The glad :
spread rapidly, and it was soon demonstfatod
beyond doubt that a cure had at last been
found for deadly Cancer. Evidence has accu
mulated which is incontrovertible, of which
the following is a specimen :
“ Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, a
sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful
disease. My feelings may be imagined when the hor
rible disease made its appearance on my side. It was
a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as
to cause great alarm. The disease seemed beyond the

skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good
whatever, the Cancer growing worse all the while.
Numerous remedies were used for it. but the Cancer
grew steadily worse, until it seemed that I was doomed
to follow the others of the family, for I know how deadly Cancer is, especially
w .en inherited. I was advised to try Swift’s Specific (S. S. S ), which, from the
first day, forced out the poison. I continued its use until I had taken eighteen
bottles, when I was cured sound and well, and have had no symptoms of the
dreadful affliction, though many years have elapsed. 8. S. S. ia the only cure
for Cancer.—Mrs. S. M. Idol, Winston, N. C. ®
