NOTKS AND COMMENTS. The trial of Caleb Pomers, ex-Sec- retary of State, in Kentucky, for com plicity in the murder of Goebel has resulted in a verdict of guilty by the jury and sentence of life imprison ment in the penitentiary. Of course there will be an appeal, and it is doubtful if the sentence will stand. There was too much political rancor in the case for strict justice to be done. Even the presiding judge in his charge to the jury showed clearly his political prejudices. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Baptist Association to meet here next Thursday is one of the old est religious organizations in this part of *he country. This is a centennial meeting and the occasion will oe one of extraordinary interest. The Asso ciation once embraced churches scat tered over four or five counties, and all those churches that once belonged to it have been invited to send repre sentatives to this centennial meeting. An organization which has stood for one hundred years has witnessed many wonderful changes, and we look for much valuable and interesting historical information to be brought out at the meeting. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ At last the allied armies have en tered Pekin and relieved the foreign legations from danger. This side of the world cannot see why this feat might not have been performed a month ago, as there were plenty of troops there then. The Japanese troops led the van in the inarch on Pekin and arc thought to have suffer ed most of the loss in storming the gates of the city. The other allies seem to bo just staying around to see the Japs fight, and as long as the lat ter will do the fighting for the whole crowd it seems to be the disposition of the crowd to let them do it. We do not believe that it will take long to settle matters in China. The main trouble may arise among the allies themselves. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Now the papers are publishing some wild stories about a plan to assassi nate President McKinley. Accord ing to these statements the plan was concocted in Europe among Italian anarchists, and that the as sassins left by twos from different parts and were all to assemble in Washington and attack the Presi dent in a body. Secret detectives, it i^ claimed, followed each pair to the United States and arrested them on arrival. The whole story sounds too much like a detective story in a dime novel, to entitle it to credence. It may be it is all a scheme to get votes for the president instead of bringing men to murder him. The signs seem to indicate that he will be in urgent need of these about next November. ♦ ♦♦♦ When we come to write something for this issue of The Ledger, the first and about the only thing we can think of is the weather. How in the world can you think of anything else or care for anything else, when the weather takes complete possession of you, when it rages all over you and around you, when it glares fiercely Into your face as if it would like to smother you and then boil your blood. We started on a twelve mile drive at 3:30 in the morning last Bunday in the hope of giving it the dodge, hut it was no go. The weath er was on the alert and it caught both us and our horse and threatened to stew us in our own perspiration and bake us brown to bo served a la mode at a meteorological banquet. It is all unprecedented, unlooked for, un welcomed. Probably no man living remembers its equal in duration and intensity. Certainly the records are all broken, while there may be much more to follow. But the weather is a steadfast friend—just now an exceed ingly warm friend—after all. True, it does not always cherish the most delicate regard for our comfort and convenience, because It has a mis sion high above such things as thesa, V. e accept its chastenings as Col. Hoyt accepts Ben Tillman’s, and de clare that however it may interfere with our plans, we will always vote for the weather. tUnl Hot trona tUe Uuu Was the ball that hit G. B. Htead- man of Newark.

Local Ileum ToouShort for a Head Grouped Together. Charlie Austell has accepted a po sition in the mercantilo establishment of J. N. Lipscomb & Co. Walter Humphries will not go away this season, but will remain here and buy cotton for Mr. J. A. Carroll. Several of our people went over to Blacksburg yesterday to hear the candidates "pipe their tuneful lays.” Profs. Harry Knox and Walter Baker, are at Marion, N. C., making arrangements for the big excursion that they expect to run to that place on Sept. 13th. There were thirteen baptisms at the First Baptist church Sunday night. Pastor Robertson has been granted a month’s leave of absence by his church, and he will spend the time in Charleston. Will Thompson spent last week attending the Farmers Institute at Clemson College. Mr. Thompson is high in his praises of the Farmers’ Institute and says that every farmer in Cherokee who possibly can should attend these meetings. Gaffney is still hot, dry and dusty, and vegetation in and near the place is suffering for rain. Friday night the clouds gathered and for awhile it looked as though we would have a storm; but the elements soon quiet ed down and the rain did not come. The mayor had quite a crowd of Saturday sinners and Monday mourn ers before him yesterday morning, seventeen cases in all. The fines ranged from two and a half to seven dollars and the city treasury was con siderably replenished, while the gang received a few additions. Farmers say that corn on bottom lands is bad this year, but that the upland is not hurt much. Cotton, as a general tiling, is very good, but it is needing rain in most places. Hay is being saved in large quantities, and it will come in well in the fall and win ter, as fodder will no doubt be scarce. G. 8. C. Quinn, of Cherryville, N. C., spent several days in the city last week. Mr. Quinn was - formerly a resident of this county and engaged in school teaching. He is thinking of moving back here in the near fu ture. Mr. Quinn makes a good citi zen and The Ledger would be de lighted to have him move back. The campaign meeting yesterday was at Blacksburg, today it is at Antioch, and tomorrow it will be at Kings Creek. Next Monday the meeting will be held at Gaffney. This will "wind up the little ball of yarn” and the day following the battle of the ballots will take place. May every true Cherokeean do his duty fearlessly and manfully. There was a small fire Sunday morning in the slasher room of the old mill of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company, but it was extinguished before any damage was done. Some waste naught fire and the watchman became excited and blew the whistle, causing some excitement. There was no damage. The company has excellent protection in its splendid water system. Ed. C. Byars succeeds Mr. G. Walter Chambers in the clerical de partment of the Gaffney Carpet Man ufacturing Company. Tank McAr thur has also been engaged to work in that department. Under the able direction of Mr. Sam Reid the forces now gathered in that department will be able to do a large amount of work. But it takes a large amount of work to keep up with the corres pondence, book-keeping, etc., of the Gaffney Carpet Mill. BLACKSBURG BUDGET. I’ersoual ParagrapliH About Our Frleuda Heyord the Hroad.

Liraestono College is thoroughly equipped and oilers lo young women advantages unsurpahsi d, if equaled, by any other college in the South. The Literary and Scientific Course comprises T1£IV «OHOOJL,«, while there are Fiyk More for the extra courses of Music, Art, Elocution, Business, Stenography and Typewriting, till furnished with the best modern facilities and presided over by teachers of acknowledged ability. New and superb buildings, steam heat, hot and cold baths, large airy dormitories, new furni ture, new pianos, extensive Chemical and Physical Laboratories, a great Library, 150 yards of broad piazzas, both pure Limestone and Artesian Water, the most beautiful ten-acre Campus in the State, with ten acres more of romantic pleasure grounds attached,—these are some of the prominent features and constant attractions of Limestone College.

The next session will open on September 19th. Terms very reasonable. Write for Catalogue and further information to Senior Professor. Captain H. P. Griffith, or to the President, LEE DAVIS LODGE, A. M., Ph. D. Hoyd'i* MliiHtreln. Boyd’s Minstrel Conipuny arrived in the city Saturday, but owing to some trouble iu getting a place to erect their tent they did not give their afternoon performance. They played at night, however, to a very good crowd, but the show in the main was a disappointment to every one who attended. The manager stated that two or three of his men had left him just before he came here, and for that reason he begged the indulgence of the addiencc, but, at the same lime, lie did not reduce the price of admission. One or two features of the performance were very good, and the music was creditable, but upon the whole, the show was nothing like it was represented to be, and the minstrel part of it was a fake. The kinetoscope was no good, whatever, and only brought fourth jeers and hisses from the crowd, as did most of the playing on the stage. Dr. Boyd should either complete his company of actors or else disband ls people do not like to be imposed up on in such a way. W’e did not approve of the boisterous conduct of some in the audience, yet we know the provocation was great; still, if they did not like the perform ance they should have gone out and not disturbed others who, perhaps,did like it. However, the next time this company comes to tins place we hope it will make up what it lucked Sat urday night. Kuiue of Our Source* of Wealth. We are indebted to our worthy and accommodating county auditor, Col. W. D. Camp, for the following inter esting figures in regard to some of the wealth of the county. The books show that there are in the county 941 horses, 4,277 cattle, 2,191 mules, 422 sheep and goats, 2,357 hogs. 409 gold and S'lver watches. 250 organs and pianofortes, 2 434 carriages, wagons and bicycles, and 1,4(51 dogs. As will be seen from the above there are 1,039 more dogs in the county than there are sheep—a deplorable state of affairs indeed when the worthless curs outnumber the profit able wool growers. This is somewhat offset, however, by the good news that there are 896 more bogs than there are dogs. Whenever the coun ty gets to the point that the sheep will outnumber the dogs then we will be on the glittering side of pros perity. Cone to I' loridii. Prof. G. Walter Chambers, L. I , A. B.. left Saturday for St. I’ettrs- burg, Fla., where he goes to accept the assistUnt principalship of the Sr. Petersburg High School. Prof. Ciiatnbers will teach science, mathe matics and languages. Prof Cham bers is well qualified to teach the branches he will have in charge. He received his degree of L. L. from the Peabody Normal College, and fTls degree of A. B., from the Nashville University. Prof. Chambers has been living in Gaffney for nearly four years. He came here to teach music when Prof. Mack had charge of Lime stone College arid successfully taught music during Prof. Mack’s term. Prof. Chambers has won many friends here by his gentlemanly demeanor and he goes away carrying with him the good wishes of everybody who has had the good fortune to know him. Com utt* inlMl>le. The Gaffney Mahufacturint; Com pany is having all its houses for op eratives painted over. No two houses in the same section are being painted alike. This relieve;; the mo notony that usually attends tenent houses for mill opiTrttivea. Most of them are all painted alike, but in this case drab, brown, white, sky blue, light green and various other colors are blended together in perfect harmony giving each Inmse a dis tinctiveness entirely its own. Be sides this distinctiveness it improves the appearance of things in that lo cality. Gaffney uses about as much paint ay any town its si^e in South Carolina and yet the town's uppeur- unoes could be vastly improved if the individuals were to emulate more freely the good example set by the Gaffney Manufacturing Company.
