VOTE THOSE BONDS. 1 n support of our claim that it is best for the city to own and operate its waterworks and electric lights we submit the accompanying articles bearing on that subject from two of our most valued exchanges. The Columbia State says: •I nlirviows in tlic (i icon villi' Times imii- eatetlcit there is :i stronff foiling in thnt eity for municipal <>wiiorslii|» of i,s water works syslein. now liehl l>y a foreign eor- )»oriilioii: iniiMn Sumter the Ikiily Item is ^ll•f.’■ill^ r the pureliase of the eity electrif iu>r plant; wliieli is soon to !»■ sold. These nioveiiieiits are to 1*' commended. The tendency everywhere is toward inuiiiel pal ownership of such public services. Every eoniinunity wliieli lias hail experience of pri\ ale, and especially of outside, owner- sliip ie.is feit the hardships of it. It is a sort of slavery under which the citizen leels powi'i'li'ss to protect his niteri‘sts. II these enterprises yield private owners a prolit they can he made to yield a profit to the municipality, and the consumers thus net the dividends, t'oniinate is the eilv which is aide to own and operate in the interest of its people those works which are naturaI monopolies. The Charlotte Observer says: “The subject of municipal ownership of the water Is one of warm discussion at Greenville, S. (' better buy them. Char iot te's experience t hus far is that municipal ownership is a frood tiling. 'I his. wo think, has been the experience of all communities where the water privileges have been hough! over by t he public. NOTES AND COMMENTS. 'flie editorial department of this paper has been under an unusal strain for the past week, and we are compelled to ask the indulgence of our readers. We invite the attention of our readers to resolutions of the Waiter- boro bar as published in this issue of the Ledger. Absence from home until tlie Ledger is just ready to go to press, prevents us from paying our respects to tlieso legal gentle men in today’s Ledger. We shall try not to neglect them in the next issue. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Will the correspondent from (Jow- deyville, who signs himself Zeb, be kind enough to furnish'us with his full name? During our absence he obtained admission to the columns of this paper and we are unable to locate the writer. If the wri ter will not send it in will some one who knows him furnish it for us? lly doing so you will do us a favor. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Editor W. C. Crum, of the Florida Republican, and also postmaster of his town, was brutally whipped by white caps because he had appointed a negro to assist him in the post- ollice. Editors freqently get whip pings and it is becoming fashionable to whip and kill postmosters. Crum took too much upon himself v.hen he assumed the risks of both editor and postmaster. He ought to have known better, but we suppose he does know better by this time. It is never to lute to learn. The recent hurricane in the West Indies was the most terribly de structive ever known. Two thous and five hundred people are known to have been killed and two thous and more are missing. The hurri cane came slowly to the coast of the I Hited States but it reached it in full health and vigor, and wrecked eleven vessels about Cape Hutteras and destroyed the lives of about thirty sailors. Along the North Carolina and Virginia coast the wind attained a velocity of seventy-five miles an hour. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦• M. Labori, the French lawyer who was shot on the street as he was on his way to the court room, as coun sel for Captain Dreyfus, is again at his post and is creating consterna tion among the witnesses against Dreyfus, as he deals sledge-hammer blows in defence of ids client. lie has driven Gen. Mercier to the wall, and that most prominent persecutor of Dreyfus seems likely to find him self behind a literal wall which he can neither penetrate nor demolish. The case of Dreyfus is the most re markable in the history of the world and no man can yet tell when or how it will end. ♦ ♦♦♦ IL has been a long time since we have hud such a spell of continuous hot weather us that which lias been prevailing for ten days or longer. Crops are wilting under the fierce blaze of the sun and the partial ruins thnt have fallen have been quickly evaporated by the intense heat. Wo have recently traveled over a large portion of the Piedmont bolt and we have nowhere found crop conditions any more favorable than they are around Gaffney. In many places they are much worse. All reports from the low country in dicate that crops are liner than they have been for years. Tilings are perhaps working right after all. The low country has heretofore met with a series of disasters, while the Piedmont region was blessed with abundant crops. Now the low coun try has its turn of fortune and the Piedmont gets a set back. \\ u can not grumble at this. The Piedmont will get there after all. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The lime of year has arrived when Baptist Associations take the field. There are about forty of these Asso ciations in South Carolina and they begin to hold their meetings in July and continue until lute in November. The Spartanburg Association met at Campobello last Tuesday and con tinued in session until Thursday. There was a large crowd present and but for the oppressive heat it would have been a session of much enjoy ment. There were many prominent men present and some line speeches made. The speech on education made by Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, presi dent of Limestone College, on Wed nesday, was generally considered the finest literary effort ever made in this part oHhe country. The Doc tor spoke about an hour, and held his large audience to the close as under a spell. The Broad River As sociation is now in session at Drny- tonville, four miles from Gaffney, and many prominent Baptists are in and about our town for the purpose of attending the meeting. Profit in Whciit. INt*ws ami t’ourirr.l A practical exhibition of the profit of wheat growing in Georgia, says the Southern Field, is given in the follow ing transcript of an account which Messrs Moore A - Worsham, of Bibb county, kept of their crop of ten acres : Dr 1(J bushels seed wheat at ijil.... $10 00 l^o bushels cotton seed at cts.. 15 02 Preparing land and sowing 10 00 Harvesting 10 00 Threshing 12 00 Or. ISO bushels wheat at at 75 cts $135 Oo 3 tons straw at $S.. 21 00 $ 57 02 1511 00 Total prolit $101 38 This is a fair average account we believe. The yield of eighteen bush els per acre is above the average yield in this section, it is true, but the price of 75 cents a bushel is lower than the average price in this section, so that the two items together repre sent a fair average crop on ten acres, as 13.1 bushels per acre at $1 a bushel would give the same result in value. Taking the account on this basis, then, it is seen that a crop of RH bushels of wheat per acre pays at the rate of $10 per acre, which is a fair return on the investment. Even $5 an acre pays better than cotton, ! which is the point that interests most of our farmers. ; The crop of wheat was not all that 1 Messrs Moore «fc Wershnm got from j their ten acres, however. To $101.38 net profit from the wheat is to he added “a net profit of $50 fur hay grown upon the same “land,” making the total clean profit of $151.13, per acre. How much cotton, at five cents a pound, would be required to show the same “profit” any cotton farmer can estimate for himself. We suppose, however, it is fair to say that at least three bales per acre would be required to show the same profit us thirteen bushels of wheat at $1 a bushel, and a number of farmers at the Macon Wheat convention reported yields averaging from thirty to thirty-five bushels. A Mother Tell* How She Kstved Her I.ittle Ihitigliter'M Life. I am the mother of eight children and have hud a great deal of expe rience with medicines. Last summer my little daughter hud the dysentery in its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think of, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertise ment in our paper that Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhma Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had in the house. It saved my little daughter’s life. I am anx ious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anxiety and my little daughter much suffering.— Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Burdick, Liberty, It. I. For sale by Cherokee Drug Co.

Inasmuch as our Lord bus called this child and faithful servant of the church, our lovely sister, Miss Grace Montgomery, from the field to the mansion. Therefore, be it resolved by the Woman’s Missionary Society of Trough Shoals Baptist church : 1. That in her departure we feel keenly and sorrowfully the {gap made in our ranks. 2. That we rejoice in tlie sweet hope we have that she is now at rest with the Master, where we will meet her when our work is ended. 3. That we will try to prove our selves more worthy servants of our Lord, because of the memory we shall cherish of her virtues and graces, which are worthy of imita tion. 4.

ABSORBED? it Ih S:il«l That tli** A. f I,, Huh Bought the l.iiitt, [Cliiu li slon i’ust.l The latest news in railroad circles is that the Atlantic Coast Line has purchased the Ohio River and Char leston railroad. This road runs from Marion, N. C., to Camden and was originally the Three C’s and was originally intended to run from Cincinnati to Charleston, but on ac count of a lack of funds the road was never completed. The road passed out of existence and became known as the Ohio River and Charleston road, which, until recently, was op erated by the South Carolina and Georgia road. There is now being constructed between Kumfir and Camden the Northeastern road by the Atlantic Coast Line, which is said will be used as a connecting litis. The Sumter Freeman, publishing the report cf the deal, says: “it is further stated that the A. C. L. and the Southern are pulling in double harness and that whenever there is a constitutional objection to one acquiring a road the other gets it and they work it together. This is to be the case in the matter of the Ohio River and Charleston, and it re mains to by seen whether Sumter will reap any material advantage from the Sumter and Wuteree, since that road has charged ownership. There is also a report abroad to Die effect that tlie Southern contemplates pulling up the Camden branch and the Sumter and NVateree because their business over these branches will not be sufficient to justify them in keeping up the expensive trestie work—six miles—over the Waterec swamp. The report, however, so far as it refers to tlie Sumter and Wateree, can hardly be true, as we are told by Mr. Baumgartner that material is arriving here for tlie erec tion of nice brick depots for that road, and the Southern would scarce ly go to that extent unless it meant business.” Star l arm Ktat<‘iiii-nt«. (CorrespoiHlenoe of T!ie T.odger.) Star Farm, Aug. 22—It is still very dry in this community. The up-lond corn of this section is almost a complete failure. Tlie bottom corn is looking very line. The farmers around about hero are much interested in clearing up tlie bottoms that are over grown with willows and other kinds of bushes. The cotton is doing very well. It is opening very fast during this dry spell, and the farmers are now be ginning to gather it up. Mr. J. Eb. Jefferies was visiting relatives at Star Farm Sunday. He had h'a phonograph with him, which played some funny tunes. The hear ers were much amused. Mi. Bob Taylor and wife, of White Plains, were in this section last week. We are very glad to see them.

But for the prospective expenses, I should have gone to Colleton and prosecuted Mr. Tracy years ago. I enclose you an exact copy* of Mr. < )’Bryat’s letter, t he original of which is in my possession and can he pro duced when necessary. I have no letter from Mr. Tracy— never had a line from him after I put the account into his hands, though I wrote to him often and insisted on a return. 1 finally wrote a letter to Mr. O’Bryan, which brought the let ter from him which I have copied. I then instructed .Mr. O’Bryan not to pay Mr. Tracy any more money for me. This is tin out-line of the facts. I could tell little more if I were present at your mooting. .Mr. O’Bryan, I suppose, still lives at Waltcrboro. i Submit a copy of his letter to him for j his endorsement and request him to | produce his receipt.

Attention was called to the fact that Mr. O'Bryan lias lived in Beau fort for the past several years. C. C. Tracy, then staled that ho denied having done anything crimi nal or unprofessional, hut was not prepared at tho time to make any furt her statement. This being all presented to the Association upon the subject, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, in a recent issue of Tlie Gaffney Ledger it was editorially charged that a member of the Bar at Waltcrboro had collected an account for the editor of that paper and had appropriated the same to his own use, the name of such lawyer not being given; And whereas, at a meeting of this Association tho name of such a law yer was demanded of tlie author of the suit! publication, and the name of C. C. Tracy was given in response to such demand; And whereas, by resolution the publisher of The Gaffney Ledger was requested to furnish this Association at this meeting with such proofs as lie might have of the truth of his charge, and G. C. Tracy was invited to he present and introduce any proofs that might have in rebuttal of such charge; And whereas, there being nothing submitted to the Association except the unsupported statement of 11. U. Griffith on the one hand and tho dtnial of 0. 0. Tracy on tlie other, thus furnishing the Association with no means for determining the truth oi falsity of the charges : Now there fore, he it resolved: 1. That >t is tlie sense of this Asso ciation, that if tiie charge made against C. G. Tracy by the editor of Tho Gaffney Ledger he true, as asser ted by him, it is his duty as a citizen to do liis part in tho vindication of the law and the suppression of crime hy instituting proceedings against Mr. Tracy for his alleged offense. 2. That G. (J. Tracy having asser ted his innocence of the said charge, it is the sense of this Association that he owes it to himself and to the profession, of which lie is a member, to vindicate himself by taking such proceedings us will result in such vindication. 3. That this Association desires to place of record its earnest protest against the manifest injusticc <lon<' the members of this Bar hy The Gaff ney Ledger and other papers repub lishing the same in giving to the public such ii serious charge against a member of the Bar without giving the name of such member, thus leaving the public mind to guess at whom the charge was directed. 4. That Hi esc resolutions be pub lished in The Gaffney Ledger anti t! c Dress and Standard, and thnt all newspapers republishing the charge of The Gaffney Ledger are requested to publish these resolutions.
