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.

Hhe Good Company.
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.

Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:
Dear Sir—The bottle of Pe-ru-na at
hand. It if splendid and most invig

brain. It is one of the best tonics I have
ever used. It makes me feel like a new

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
