iog by ltu«y Ledger I’utrooN Who Are
I’renned for Time.
The Cowpona memorial association
has secured some of the land where
the Cowpens battle was fought which
makes the park a certainty. All
Cherokee must lend a helping hand.
Business men of other cities are
constantly here looking for suitable
buildings to open up their business
in. And often without being able to
find one. Which shows that (Jalfney
needs more business houses which
must be built.
President W. T. Horton, of the
Cowpens Memorial Association, re
quests The Ledger to state that there
will be a mass meeting of the citizens
of Cherokee county with the Associa
tion in the court house immediately
after the sales on salesday, first
Tuesday in January. Everyone
ought to be present.
The Central Executive Board of the
Broad River Association will meet at
Zion Hill church on Saturday before
the 5th 8unday in this month.
Churches and individuals having
business with the Board, will send
commuications to the Rev. J. D. Bai
ley, Cowpens, 8. C., or appear at the
Board meeting.
It is important that the meeting
calh'd by President Horton, of the
Cowpens Battleground Memorial As
sociation, for salesday, first Tuesday
in January, be fully attended by the
people of Cherokee. There will be
some interesting addresses delivered,
and matters of great importance to
Cherokee county will come up for
action.
Col. M. F. Jones and Mr. L. Roth,
the two most prominent merchants
of Yorkville, were in the city Satur
day and Sunday and left for their
homes yesterday. They both ex
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with Gaffney. The Ledger trusts
that the visit of these preminent
gentlemen will result in the estab
lishment of two more big merchun-
tile houses in Gaffney and place
Messrs. Jones and Roth’s names on
our list in the census of 1900.
Mr. Iteujaiiiin I’erc-rr Deud.
Mr. Benjamin Percer, an Irish gen
tleman who came to Gaffney about
twenty-two or three years ago, died
at his home near Lawn, in this
county, on the 14th inst. in the 85th
year of his age without an enemy in
the county and with the friendship of
all with whom he was acquainted.
Soon after coming to Gaffney he
bought a farm near Lawn and com
menced farming on the intensive sys
tem and opened a country store, both
of which ho conducted successfully
up to the time of his death and had
amassed considerable property. Mr.
Percer was a man of fine sense and
extensive information was method
itself and honesty personified.
Mr. Percer’s death was the result
of his extreme age. II9 had first-
class medical attention and his de
voted neighbors vied with each other
in their kindnesses to him in his last
illness. His remains were hurled at
Limestone cemetery on Saturday in
the presence of many sorrowing
friends. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. S. T. Creech of
the Limestone Street Methodist
church.
The honorary pall-bearers were:
T. H. Littlejohn, R. M. Wilkir.s, A.
X. Wood, R. S. Lipscomb. E. L.

A Collirtlnn.
Two freight trains on the Southern
collided near Fair Forest yesterday
morning. It is hard to get particu
lars in such cases, but we learn that
considerable damage was done to the
trains and that some of the crews
were severely hurt. The passenger
train from Atlanta, which should
have arrived here yesterday at 7 a in.,
did not arrive till near 2 p. in. This
long delay is an indication of the
magnitude of the disaster.
To WumIi Outing; Diiriiit-nU,
Flannel outing garments and un
derwear require very careful washing
to keep them from shrinking; shrink
ing is caused by the interlacing of the
wool fibres; hence it is desirable to
keep the material well stretched out
to prevent this. A washboard should
not be us?d, nor should any soap be
ever rubbed on. It Is best to use
Gold Dust Washing Powder; dissolve
enough in hot water to n.ake good
suds, and wash quickly by repeatedly
Immersing in the suds, and drawing
through the hands. Flannels must
be washed in half warm water—not
hot or cold. Wring, si.'otfiife^Jnto
