NOTES AND COMMENTS. Six years ago Gaffney had 2 220 people within the city limits. Today we are pushing the 0,000 point. Can any burg in the State beat that? ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Send us the name and address of some friend who lias moved out west from this seciion. We wish to send out a few sample copies and no one would he so glad to get them as some one who moved away from this sec tion years ago. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Everybody seems mighty well con tented with tilings political in this county. Cherokee has fewer candi dates announced than any other county in the State, so far, and the political pot seems to have a tough time getting to a simmer. It is evi dent that it will not boil over this year. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We long to see the day when the projected waterpower plants on Jlroad river will be a reality. With a 100,000 horse power electric plant within six miles of Gaffney we may expect the cheapest power in the United States at our very door. Then it will be that small industries requiring small powers can be estab lished with safety, and there can be no good reason why Gaffney should not outstrip all other riedmont towns in the race of development. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Have you the intereot of Gaffney at heart? If you have then patron- iz.* her merchants to the exclusion of ail other merchants. Do not send your money to Mew York, Chicago, Boston or Baltimore for anything you can buy in Gaffney. I’alronizo your own banks, machine shops, wood shops,printing office.etc ,in pre ference toothers, especially if you get just as good works at as low figures. Patronize home industry, anyway, if you want to build up yuur town. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Farmers should not be deceived by the recent advance in the price of cotton. Remember it is but a trick of the bulls and bears of •‘Gold Brick r ’ street to induce you to’plar.t heavily. Common sense should teach any man that the law of supply and demand is the only thing that will regulate prices permanently. Speculators may be able to force the price up or down for a brief period hut tilings soon set tle on their solid foundation again. Raise all the home supples you need, and a li tie extra for the fellow who will not do it, and then put your sur plus time and land in cotton and you will have just as much money next December as if you raised all cotton and bought your supplies. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The rapidity with which Gaffney is growing and increasing her popula tion brings with it new conditions and duties. All who come and live among us cannot be rich. Out of the thousand now living in Gaffney a great many are living on their daily labor, which, in case of eieknesa, is cut off and must, in not a few in stances, work hardships to the afflict, ed. If these things are true they will increase as our population in creases arid should be provided for. We will not suggest a plan by which the indigent can be cared for when sick, but we think it our good women will take the matter in hand and consult the physicians and effluent other from different sections and be come better acquainted one with the other it will have been worth the money spent. This feature shou'd bo a permanent one. Every year the day should he observed. It ia worth all it costs to see ihe happy smiles that wreaths the fuc<s of the guy throng. But some people have no sentiment i.i their souls—especially if you begin to touch tiier pocket- book, and it is useless to talk about it. Let the committee get all it can and if they do not receive enough let them abandon the project. It is not pleasant for u few men to be strain ing every nerve to push the boat o'er the rough sea while others sit idly by and lend a begrudging assistance. BLACKSBURG BUDGET.

(Corre^ijonilence of The Ledger.) Eiia .Tank, May 20 —List Satur- ! day we attended the meeting at Cow- pens Battleground. The it wd u->- sembled there was not so large as i that of lust year, yet it came up to, j and even surpassed, the expectations of the most enthusiastic workers. , From early in the morning wagons, I b iggies, carriages, carts, bicycles, horsemen and pedestrians kept com ing until fully 2,000 people were on the ground. The only disappoint ment that marked the occasion was the distinguished speakers, John Temple Craves, o' Atlanta, and Leroy F. Yeomans, of Columbia, failing to be present. The essay of Miss McKie, read by Col. H. I\ Griffith, was excellent and reflected great honor, not only upon its fair author, but the institu tion of which she was a representa tive—the- Limestone College. Tin re being no regular speakers present, and the meeting having no political significance, it resolved itsfcif into one of the greatest social gatherings which the writer has ever attend' d. Cupids darts flew us thick as d;d Morgan and Tarleton’s bullets. Old and young, mule and female mingled in social intercourse and the pleasant hours spent upon the hallow* d ground impressed those present with the importance of converting if into a national park, where our children and children’s children, tor genera tions to come, can meet and com memorate the deeds of those who made Cowpens immortal. The meeting was not intended to further the interest of any candi date except, perhaps, those who as pire to matrimonial honors. Of these the woods was fuil, represent ing three distinct classes of males, to-wit.: bachelors, widowers a : J young men. Of these the widowers seemed to be the strongest, numeri cally, if notin point of deteruina- tion. Ho far as we know the crowd had plenty of dinner and ail enjoyed themselves. 'Tis true “John Barley Corn” was present, as he usually is on such occa-ions, but he kept his own counsels and company and din not interlere, particularly, with those who preferred to enj y then.- selves without his assir’iane '!>.

The Ledger realizes that the .busi ness men of Gaffney are tux'-d heavily for charitable and benevolent pur poses, and they seldom turn a deaf ear to any worthy cuu-e, but the niggardly manner in which some of them have subscribed to the Fourth of July fund is horrible.

Among them “Corn- cracker,” “G.

We met and formed an acquain tance with Mr J.O Coveney. a fuil blooded son of the “Emerald Isle.” We have many other personal notes for which we haven't space in this letter, but which we hope to use later. Science has discovered that the hu man brain contains over three thou sand millions of bodies called neurons, each neuron again bi-ing a complex body. These are combined in an in finite number of smaller and larger groups to regulate the functions tf the body and the operations of tl e mind. The old saying, “Know thy self,” has more force than ev.-r. ai d more solemnity is suggested to tl.e sentence, “Your bodies are the tem ple of the Holy Ghost.” It never hurts anybody to.fire at an evil at long range, but the mo ment a preacher hits the saloon, and those who patronize them, he must look out for trouble. Those pulpiteers who are covorting around trying to reconstruct theology- in order to make it acceptable to the modern taste, will find t.".at it is not religion, but human nature that needs reconstructing. When the social feature of the prayer-meeting runs away with the spirit of devotion, satan smiles and his whole realm rejoices witli him over his victory. Among others we met at the Bat tleground last .Saturday was Rev. J. A. Tate, pastor of Corinth and State Line churches. Unlike many of his calling he toils for his living through the weekend pleaches on the Sab bath. This is too much for any man to do, or even attempt to do. While Mr. Tate is a small man, somewhat under the average in avoirdupois, yet he has within him a soul large enough to comprehend and entertain ihe universal brotherhood of mankind.

May. 20.—The week ending 8 a. in., Monday, May 28th, was slightly cooler than usual, with unusually low night tempera tures and cool winds during the let ter part of the week. R-iin fell on the 231 and 21th, which was general over the State, and was heaviest over the northwes tern counties, where it was most needed. At a few points slight dam age was done by lands being washed, but 'he showers were generally bene ficial. Tne soil is .iow well supplied with moisture. The weather was favorable for cul tivation, and the crops are well work ed. with little complaint of grassy field-; hut the nights have been too cool for rapid growth, especially o! cotton, which remains small, with, however, quite full stands, although irregular in size. Planting is finish ed. Lice have made their appearance over large areas. Chopping is well under way or nearing completion. ir>ea island cotton looks well, but ow ing to cool nights is small. Corn is doing fairly well, ami has good color and good stands on up lands, but on bottom lands worms are doing serious injury, and have al ready made much replanting neces sary; planting is not finished in the west* rn portions. Tobacco is not uniform in condi tion, and in places is quite poor, w hi!e in other localities both stands •and growth are- satisfactory. Oars harvest has begun and yields lire* good, although the siraw is chort in many places. General improve ment is noted in this crop. Wheat is ripening and with few exceptions, the crop is above* the average in con dition. There lias been some deteo- riation caused by rust.

Daughter. The following sketch of Mrs. Mary- Petty by her daughter, Mrs. Ann Waters, is cordially given a place in Tho Ledger: My mother, Mrs. Mary Petty, lived to be a little more than ninety-seven of age. She was never stout never weighing more that one hundred and twenty-five, but carried flc-sfi enough and wa) one of the prettiest forms I ever saw. She was not very fond of sweetmeats, but liked to have them on hand. She liked vegetables of all kinds, always wanting her victuals thoroughly cooked, very fond of cof fee always parching it herself. Not like the most of oid ladies using “the pipe” but never knew the last of tobacco, and when sick liked best to use her own simple remedies, s; it lies been but very little medicine she ever took. She often amu.-el her grand daughters by telling them how they used to do at quillings, always going before breakfast and riding torse- back. But in ail her talks to children and grand-children, if she couldn’t say something good she said nothing at all. From my earliest recollection I remember to have I heard her say “I know in whom 1 Tii«-y »r« Comma- Assurances have been received that many of I he “old girls” will attend Limestone Commencement.
