CHEAPER IN GAFFNEY. “Citizen” Gives Schedule of Lights and Water Kates in I'nion and Spartanburg ami Show s hy Comparison That They are Less In Gaffney Than lu Other Plaees. Gaffney, S. C. July 80.

Union pays ijiGO.OO per year for each arc light used by the town, while ours cost only $48.00. They pay 50 cents per month for sixteen candle power incandescent lights for as many as five lights and 80 cents for each extra, while ours cost 20 cents, same ratio. Spartanburg schedule is as follows, as stated by the president of the com pany in answer to a letter of inquiry as totfost of lights to consumers in their city: Si’ARTANMUUG, S. 0., July 20. X. H.

M. Farr, Chm’n T. C. Duncan, W. H. Sartor, Commr’s of Public Works. E. M. Anderson, Supt. It will be observed from the above statements of cost of lights and water in the towns answering inquiry that the citizens of Gaffney are paying considerable less than raves paid by citizens in near-by towns. As was stated some weeks ago the hoard of public works are laboring under fnany disadvantages which should be remedied at once. One remedy is a further issue of bonds to equip the plant with more efficient machinery and to extend the service over more territory. Another, and one that lays in the power of the citizens themselves, is to more liberally patronize the enter prise which they have heloed to es tablish. Xo business or enterprise can live, much less be a success, without liberal patronage. Why any citizen would refuse to help to nour ish an foster and enterprise so needful for the sake of a few dollars a year from his income, is more than 1 can understand, especially when the re sults of the need of pure water for every citizen is daily becoming more evident. I cannot say positively that typhoid fever in Gaffney was caused by the use of surface water from wells, but will venture the assertion that medi cal experts would condemn the wel s and advise artesian water instead. I believe it is the duty of every good citizen to patronize and uphold all institutions that is for the better ment of its citizens as a whole. In dividual selfishness and a lack of in terest in the enterprises that tend to build up and elevate a people, is as much a sin as to rob your neighbor, and to hinder and obstruct others in doing good in their community is along the same line and cannot, hy any possible means, do the grumbler and obstructor any good in this, on the life hereafter. Let us get together and help one another, and come to the assistance of the hoard of public works and help them to help us all. They, the ser vants of ti vpeople, are doing all in their powe and without remunera tion, to ge the best service possible for our peopie in the matter of water and lights. If you have not applied for fixtures for water and lights from them don’t delay, but do so now. You don’t know how much good you may do, possibly save the life of some of your own dear ones; you cannot do harm by helping such necessaay en terprises. Don’t growl and grumble and argue that taxes will be increased. Suppose they were, how much wore .n proportion would you receive in the way of health, comfort and pro tection from fire, <fcc., than the pit tance you would pay in taxes on this particular enterprise? If all who are able to would pay for water on their premises it would not he long before the hoard could establish several free water hydrants, but to begin now, when they are running at a consider able loss, would he unhusiness-like and further increase their indebted ness without any income whatever. Let us help our water and light plant in its infancy and the tune will not be far oil when it will help to re duce our taxes, and instead of being in any sense a burden, will be a blessing to us and our posterity. Very respectfully, Citizen. A preen With Mr Mercer. Buffalo Section, Cherokee Co., July 80. 1900.—Editor The Ledger:— Please allow me space in your valu able paper to make a few remarks upon Mr. Mercer’s letter in regard to our superintendent of education. We hope that all right-minded people will give this matter their careful consideration, as it is one that should interest us all very much. The re sponsibility upon the superintendent of education is a great one, as he has the training of our child r en in his hands and should have at heart the future welfare of our country. We agree with Mr. Mercer that a change would he a help in this line; though we have nothing against Mr. McArthur, except that he has too much other bu-inesss to attend to, which prevents him from giving proper attention to the duties of his office. The people of this section of the country are cut oil from the privi lege of attending school, as the school district is so large that the children on the outside cannot walk tiie distance. We people on the State line have had to send from two and a half to three and a quarter miles; and, finding it too hard on them, we have been compelled to run a sub scription sciiool in which to give them proper education. Wo have asked Mr. McArthur several times to help us iu this matter, and he has promised to do so as soon as he could get time to come over and learn the situation of our corner; yet he does not come. His promising has kept some of us out of school for several years; and now we ask the good peo ple of Cherokee county to help us elect a man that will have time to see that none of our people pay school tax and yet have to educate their chil dren in a school gotten up by local subscription. We are with Mr. Mer cer fur Strain—please help us got relief. J. M. Uoi’PER. Card of Tliauk«. The family of Mr. and Mrs. L. Baker take this method of tendering their sincere and most heartfelt thanks to the many friends who so kindly remembered them during the dark hours of their recent allliction. They pray that God may reward each and every one for the services they so unselfishly and so untiringly rendered. "My baby was terribly sick with the diarrhoea,” says J. li.

The Good Family Concert Company reoched our city last week on its an nual tour and played four nights to well filled houses. A number of the white people of the city attended, especially the last two nights, and all felt that they got more than dou ble their money’s worth. The pro gram consists of music, dancing, wit and humor and the inimitable “cake walk” of the Southern darkies. There is not an objectionable feature about it, and as an evidence of this, the company was permitted to play in our opera bouse the last two nights —a privilege that has never before been granted to a colored troup at this place. The members of the company de serve much credit for the character of their performances and for the manner in which they conducted themselves while in Gaffney. Mr. Crawley In UafTney.

Catarrh li one of the ways In which a depressed condition of the nervous sys tem shows Itself. Catarrhal people are soon made n ;rvous. Any remedy to effect a radical cure of chronic catarrh mast operate directly through the nerves, in- dporating the mucous circulation. Mrs. C. C. Filler, of 134South Fourth street, Columbus, O., writes: “F-»r ten or fifteen years I have been subject to nervous dyspepsia. I would have spells of quivering in my stomach, with smoth ering feelings. I was suffering from what is called nervous prostration. I consulted several physicians, who treated mo without doing me any good. I had almost given up iu despair when I heard of Pe-ru-na. I found it an im mediate relief to all my disagreeable symptoms.” Dr. Hartman’s latest bonk sent free. Address Columbus, Ohio. Corinth CbronlcluH. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Corinth, 8.
