NOTES AM* COMMENTS.
There is hardly a town or city in
the country that is as large as it
thinks it is, and when the proofs (f
its diminutiveness are drawn upon it,
its usual resource is to abuse the
census taker. Just now this enter
prising official is in very bad odor
in Savannah and Augusta because he
couldn’t count more than .»2 0<tO
heads in the former, nor more than
40,000 in the latter. There are
many towns, too, on this side of the
Savannah river, that will not elect
a census taker to a municipal office
right away. It is always disappoint
ing and humiliating to men, towns,
and nations, to be informed officially
or otherwise, that they are not as
big us they think they are by some
thing less than half, but it is in bud
taste to make a fuss about it.

A correspondent of the \orkvillc
Enquirer sends that paper one dollar stock the Stub
with the request that it be applied to : most appn
wish to add that we have also heard
of its being criticised in other quar
ters for not holding opinions in ac
cord with popular demand. So there
it is. One parly of friends blame us
for bolding opinions, and another
party (or not holding them. We
hardly moo how wo can satisfy both
parties, and not seeing how, we sup
pose we shall continue f.» write whul
wo think without much regard for
either censure or praise. W e may
say, however, that whenever this
paper contains anything cither in its
editorial or local department on
questions of public interest which
any reader dot snot like, the columns
of the paper are open to him for a
reply, and we will give his opinions
and arguments the most respectful
consideration. W’e will not abuse
him personally in these columns nor
permit him to abuse us. Wo think
this proposition will strike the most
of our readers as being just and fair.
Remember, friends, that the man
who says anything worth saying, or
does anything worth doing, is sure to
antagonize somebody; but when he
grants the same means of redress
that he has used in giving offense,
you cannot reasonably accuse him of
being either unfair or unkind.

The Superintendent of Education
is spending in round numbers #10,-
t)00 of the people’s money on the
summer schools. Don’t forget that
fact. That is what they are costing
the people. When you talk of results,
measure then by this amount of
money. With #10,000 another State
Normal college can be maintained
with five professors at a salary of
#2,000 apiece, and kept open for
teachers the whole year round. Such

removing the remains of Col. James
Williai is from the banks of Broad
River to the battle-ground of King's
Mountain, where he received his
death wound in the memorable bat
tle there one hundred and twenty
years ago. This is a worthy move
prompted by a patriotic heart, and
we hope that it will meet with u
ready response from others moved
by kindred emotions. It is lit and
becoming that the ashes of the old
hero should rest where he fell, and
that the spot should be marked and
kept in perpetual care as a shrine at
which the living may renew their
patriotism and have their hearts
hveil with gratitude to the men who
wrested this country from British
oppression and handed it down in its
beauty as a rich legacy to this gene
ration.

“it was manifestly false and an
outrage.” These are reported as the
words of Bishop Duncan in answer to
Senator Ben Tillman’s charge that
“there is an unholy alliance in ti.is
lived
linisli that modern machinery can
manufacture. It might not ho ad-
visable for all tin* teachers in the
State to attend this institution at
once and it .night be inconvenient
I for a good many to attend at all.
I The former difficulty could he ob-
viuted by having them attend in
i relays leaving a sufficient number
at huino to hold the educational fort
until relieved by the first relay sent
out from the institution, when the
home brigade could taka its turn in
the college ; and so these two divisions
could go on relieving each other,
“still achieving still pursuing,”
world without end. In order to
counteract the inconvenience that
some might find in attending, and to
promote u spirit of perfect harmony
and good feeling by according “equal
rights to all, special privileges to
non*-,” wo would suggest that all of
the teuehers be hired to attend and
| paid out of the public treasury forty-
! four dollars apiece in cash and cer-
i tain perquisites not necessary to
I mention. All this is by way of
Stale of preachers and bar-keepers Hous 3u <)n _ We nol

ment of the whole State will sustain
Bishop Duncan in his indignant
repulsion of the vile slander. But
what of that? By common consent
Senator Tillman seems to have been
granted a life-long immunity from
the pains and penalties usually in
flicted on convicted slanderers, and in
their stead to have been awarded
honors, emoluments, and power.
We do not deny that Senator Till
man has talent, but we do denv thai
he has ever given evidence of talent,
wisdom or statesmanship sufficient
to account for the power he wields
over the people of this State. We
speak advisedly when we say that he
has gained that power by methods
that would have forever crushed any
other man. “The hearings of this
observation consist in the applica
tion on’t.”

word causes a severe strain on some
part of the throat, especially if
there is a rise in the voice in pro

quite an adept in finding curiosities,
lie was in The Ledger office Friday
and exhibited a locket, or parts of
a locket, that he had plowed up on
his place near Ararat. It was a lit

contained the picture of a portly look

in the fashion of ante-bellum days.
The locket had once been gold plated
upon some white metal, but it had
been under ground so long that the
plating had all worn off except in a

in two and the covers had come apart,
but tlie picture itself was in a state

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Em Jane, Ju'y 21.—Miss Jessie
Strain is suffering with » rising on
her face.
Those nights are so warm that we
can’t sleep.
Several cases of fever are reported
from the Rea Ridge section of Union
county.
The middle section of Broad River
Association will meet at Ararat on
Friday, the 27th, and continue for
three days. An excellent program
has been prepared for the occasion.
Camp Jefferies U. C. Veterans met
this a. ra. at Wilkinsville and was
called to order by G. VV. McKown,
commander. The following delegates
were elected to represent Camp Jef
feries U. C. Veterans at Greenwood,
August 1st and 2nd : William Jeffer
ies, F. A. Goforth and G. VV. Mc
Kown; alternates, J. L. Strain, P. S.
Webber and T. M. Littlejohn. Miss
Avelona Webber was elected sponsor.
Comrade William Jefferies offered up
the following resolution which was
unanimously adopted:,
“Resolved, That Camp Jefferies IJ.
C. V. recommend that the board of
county commissioners of Cherokee
county do not require old Confederate
soldiers, who are objects of charity,
to go to the county parish for support,
hut give them so much in money of
tiie public funds as may bo necessary
in their judgment to help them live.”
“In the Educational Association re
cently held in Charleston, some
prominent teachers urged that poli
tics be eliminated from the schools.
That can be done only when schools
are eliminated from politics. Our
school system is the child of politics
and we cannot divorce parent and
child.”
The foregoing editorial appeared in
Tuesday’s Ledger and we note that
novbing curries with it more truih
ami common sense, judging from the
signs of Die times. Fortunately, the
people are not all fools.
The weather has been extremely
warm for several days and farmers
are trying to get through with their
work.
Next Thursday is children’s day at
Salem and the young people have
put themselves to a great deal of
trouble in making preparations for
it. They have borrowed a boat to
put Uuir friends across the river.
We need a free ferry both at Howell’s
and Pinckney. The York county
commissioners have agreed to pay
iiulf the expenses at Howell’s and
one-third at Pinckney. Union county
has agreed to pay its third at Pinck
ney and so there is nothing wanting
but tiie co-operation of Cherokee
county to carry out either or both
projects.
Money invested in public conven
ience is an improvement. The trade
that a free ferry at Howell’s or
Pinckney would bring to Gaffney
will more than compensate for the
county's outlay to secure such free
ferry.
Most of the cotton raised in the
Hopewell and Bullock’s creek sec
tions of York county is marketed at
Chester, which, with a free ferry,
would go to Gaffney. We know the
Gaffney market can afford to pay as
much for cotton as any market in
the Piedmont belt, and it generally
does it. Ours is not the only people
in Cherokee county who are put to
such great inconvenience or expense.
The people of Blacksburg and Chero
kee township are suffering an incon
venience that the county ought to
remove, notwithstanding we have
heard it sabl the people of Blacks
burg didn’t want a bridge or free
ferry either. This must be a mis
take, but as they are able to speak
for themselves we will let them do ao.
Our people are perfectly willing to
pay their part of the taxes to give the
people of Blacksburg and Cherokee
township free access to their court
house.
There has been no flat at Howell’s
ferry for three months and the peo
ple are put to great inconvenience in
crossing the river. We predicted
when the flat washed away last
spring that there would never he an
other there, unless some one else-
built it, and we have never ha/1 occa
sion to change our opinion.
Our thanks are due Mrs. Eliza A.
Garner for a quantity of her delicious
apples and pears. They were really
a treat.
The chills have again made their
appearance in this section. The
drainage along our rivers and creeks
is so imperfect that it cannot be
otherwise. The drainage law, like
many others, appears upon the stat
ute hooks but no where else. It is a
dead letter.
We hope the people of Cherokee
county will give General C. I. Walker
a grand reception when he comes to
Gaffney on the 11th of next month,
Any one who hears him will bo am
ply rewarded for their trouble. He
is an old time South Carolinian,

Die people of our new county will
turn out and give him a full house on
the ] Itii of August.

will be in Hie midst of the county
campaign. But the county will do
itself an honor to call off a meeting,

Whenever, from any cause, the
commander of the national federa
tion of U. C. Veterans passes from
Gen. John B. Gordon, it \vill fall

Carolina, if he is living ut the time.
In speaking of the State reunion of
the U. C. Veterans at Gaffney next
year, we are aware that it involves a
town in some expense where these
meetings are held. But the experi
ence of those towns whore reunions
have been held is chat, in a financial
point of view, they more than com
pensate for the money outlay it in
volves. We believe that if the peo
ple of Gaffney will give this matter
fair consideration the reunion will be
held there next year.
By the way we see that our old
friend, Capt J. X. King, will, in all
probability, be before the people of
Greenwood county for a seat in the
next legislature. We hope he will
get there. Go it, captain, you can
have our vote.

Blacksburg and Greers crossed bats
on the diamond of the former last
Saturday afternoon. The playing on
both sides was characteristic of the
teams that have been ploying in this
section this year in that there were
numerous errors on both sides. There
is one thing to he said in favor of Hie
Blacksburg team, and that is that
they played u strictly home team,
while their opponents played one or
more men from oilier places. In
fact the best playing on the Greer
team was done by Gray, of Green
ville. This is not the proper thing,
however, when it is agreed to play
all-home teams for one side to “rope
in” outside players without tiie con
sent of the opposing team.
For Blacksburg Gaston, Whisonant,
Hherrer and Alexander did the best
work. These four played excellent
ball and deserved all the praise and
applause that was given them. The
outfield also did some very good
work. Greers, however, had the
good luck to bunch her hit when hits
meant something and us a conse
quence the score stood 15 to 10 at the
close of the game
We are glad to note that there was
none of the disagreeable features at
tendant upon this game that char
acterized the one between Blacks
burg and Gaffney. The umpire, Mr.
Mays, was absolutely fair and gave
universal satisfaction to spectators
and players—a thing that is hard to
do in a ball game.
In connection with this baseball
business the manager of The Ledger
desires to say something. When it
was proposed that we get up a local
team to play bail with Blacksburg
and other nearby towns The Ledger
entered heartily into the scheme be
cause we thought it would furnish
some innocent amusement for the in
habitants of the towns interested,
and it was believed that the rivalry
would be conducted upon a friendly
basis. It seems that some hot-
beaded individuals have taken the
matter seriously and have allowed
their ungovernable passions to get
the better of their judgment. This
causes a great deal of unnecessary
talk. Now it is time for this gabble
to cease and the best way to stop It
is to stop playing ball. Some people
in Gaffney have talked too much and
some In Blacksburg have done the
same thing. The best thing is to let
the matter drop. We have been
blamed for things we did not do and
we have blamed Blacksburg people
for things they did not do, and one is
about as much to blame us the
other. It is shameful that sensible
people must be deprived of a little
amusement on account of u few hot
heads, but such is fate and we have
FIRE AT COTTON MILL.
Itr.-HkH Out In Cotton WnrelioiiM- but Soon
Extlugulnhed.
There was quite a stir and no little
excitement in our usually quiet city
Thursday afternoon, occasioned by
the blowing of the factory whistle.
There was a time when such a sound
was passed unnoticed by the people
of Gaffney, save those who work in
the mill; but since an ordinance was
passed by our city council prohibit
ing tiie blowing of this whistle during
the day, except as a danger signal,
the sound of it now is c harbinger of
something wrong. So, on Thursday
afternoon when it was heard, crowds
began to flock towards the cotton
mill, when it was soon learned that a
fire was in progress in one of the
large cotton warehouses of the Gaff
ney Manufacturing Company. The
iiose belonging to the company was
soon coupled to a hydrant near the
warehouse, the front pait was broken
in, and in a few moments after the
fire was discovered a perfect deluge
of water was poured upon the burn
ing cotton. Every one who could
lend a hand worked manfully to sub
due the fire; the back of the entire
partition of the house which contain
ed the cotton was torn down and the
cotton thrown out, and thus the fire
was stopped before it could spread to
any other part of the house, or do
any further damage.
While the loss to the company was
perhaps a great one, still it might
have been much greater had it not
been for the heroic efforts put forth
by the employees of the company
and by outsiders who had gathered
on the spot.

A Fine Tomato.
We are indebted to Mrs. W. C. Lipk-
comp. of Wrights, for one of Llio fineat
tomatoes that we presume were ever
grown in this country. It weighs
25 ounces, and while it is one solid
tomato, it looks like several smaller
ones grown together.
Mrs. Lipscomb says it is a mistake
about seed saved from large tomatoes
one year making small ones tho next.
She was advised not to do thin, but
acting upon her own judgment she
paid no heed to the advice, with the
result that tdiu now has us line toma
toes as can ho grown, and tiiat, too,
without using b rtillzerti of any kind.

An excursion train will be run
from this place Sunday morning to
Shelby, X, C., over 1 i e S. C. .1 G. E.
Railroad, the occu-don being fho ap
pearance of Rev. Clarence Dixon, tiie
noted divine, in tho tabernacle at
that place.
Tiie train will leave Gaffney at 8 80
o’clock a tn., and returning will leave
Shelby at 9 80 p. m. The fare to
Shelby and return will be: from
Gaffney, 75 cents; from Cherokee
Falls, (>0 cents; from Blacksburg, 5<>
cents.
No such opportunity has ever be
fore been offered to the people of
Gaffney to hear one of the greatest
divines that ever graced a pulpit
“promulgate the truths sacred
writ,” and those who do not take ad
vantage of it will never cease to regret"
it. America has no greater preacher
than Clarence Dixon, and a more elo- ,
quent speaker never addressed an au
dience than the one you will hear if i
you go to Shelby Sunday. The op
portunity may never come again—
seize it while it is within your reach.
