“Mr. H. D. Wheat, of Gaffney, 8.
C., who is secretary and treasurer of
the Gaffney Manufacturing Company,
and president of the Alpha Mills, in
this city, spent yesterday in town.
Air. Wheat has decided to move his
family to Charlotte, making this city
his future home because of its supe
rior school facilities. Charlotte
knows Mr. Wheat very pleasantly
and extends him a cordial welcome.’’
The above paragraph is clipped
from the Charlotte Observer of Sat
urday. It was with regret The Led
ger learned some time ago that Mr.
Wheat was contemplating moving his
residence to Charlotte, and while we
could not blame any one for wishing
to live in so desirable a city as Char
lotte we had sincerely hoped that
Mr, Wheat would eventually change
his mind and remain in Gaffney.
With a copy of the above article in
hand a Ledger representative called
on Mr. Wheat yesterday and asaed
him whether or not the story could
be denied or affirmed. Mr. Wheat
replied that he was thinking of moving
to Charlotte but that he had not yet
fully determined to do so. He stated
that the story evidently got into the
papers from the fact that he had
made some inquiries as to the price
of property in that city.
The Ledger should regret to learn
that Mr. YVheat shall ever make up
his mind to’leave Gaffney. He has
done as much or more for the up
building of the town than any other
man in it and he deserves much
credit for what he has accomplished.
He is a very unobtrusive and quiet
man who attends strictly to his own
business, and for this reason has not,
perhaps, impressed his personality
upon the people as some men do,
but he is a most valuable citizen and
one that any community should be
proud of. Ho always has in mind
the upbuilding and prosperity of the
community ; there is that purpose be
hind it all to do the most good for the
people and the community in which
he lives. The Ledger sincerely hopes
Mr. Wheat will give up the idea of
going to Charlotte and that he will
continue to use his best endeavors to
make Gaffney the inland metropolis
of the 8tate. Should he determine
to go his departure will be a dis
tinct loss to Gaffney. But we hope
be will stay with us.
In the event of Mr. Wheat's mov
ing to Charlotte it will in no way in
terfere with his business here, as be
will be here every day to look after
the business affairs of the Gaffney
Manufacturing Company.
THE NEW PASTOR.
Rev. W. 8. B. Ford Is Warmly Greeted by
Ills Congregation.
Rev. W. 8. B. Ford, of Newberry,
who has accepted the pastorate of
the Second Baptist Church at this
place, has moved with his family to
Gaffney and is now installed in the
house formerly occupied by Mr. Kil
lian just below the Second Baptist
church. Mr. Ford preached his first
sermon to a Gaffney congregation Sun
day morning, and he filled the pulpit
again Sunday night. A large crowd
turned out to hear him both Id the
morning and at night, and his hear
ers w delighted with him and his
sermon.
Mr. Ford is a man of great personal
magnetism and has the knack of at
tracting towards him all those with
whom be comes ih contact. He is
a man of exalted Christian character,
and is in every respect a clever,
genial and bigbtoued gentleman,
loved and admired by all who know
him. He is a great church worker,
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of
his work and inspired by bis high
and holy calling, and tis influence
is sure to be great in any community
where be may reside. The people
of Newberry were much pleased with
him and his work there, and we clip
the following from thp dewberry
News and Observer:
“Rev, W. S. B, Ford preached his
farewell sermon in West End Bap
tist church as pastor of the congre
gation which he has so very efficient,
ly and acceptably served tor two
years. By special Invitation be also
preached In Mayer Memorial
Luiherau church in the afternoon
and iu O’Neall Street Methodist
church at night. At each service
liis many friends and well-wishers
were prpsept |p large numbers to bid
him farewell. He left on Monday
for his new field of labor at Gaffney.
Newberry regrets bis departure, and
commends him to the people of Gaff
ney as a good citizen, a clever and
genial gentleman and an acceptable
preacher of the gospel."
We extend to Mr. Ford and his
family a warm and hearty welcome
and hope that their stay in our midst
may be both pleasant and profitable.
Mr. Ford is comparatively a youpg
man, but ho has gained a reputation
as a minister of marked ability, and
the Second Baptist church is to be
congratulated upon securing his ser
vices. We feel quite sure that he
will please his congregations and that
his sermons will be full of gospel
truths that will be edifying to all
who may beer them. Newberry
commends him to our pare and we
shall try to prove faithful to the
trust imposed upon us.

Annie E. Springer, of 112f> Howard
St., Philadelphia, Pa., when she
found that Dr. King’s New Discovery

cured her of a hacking cough that for
many years had made life a burden.
All other remedies and doctors could
give.her no help, but she says of this
Royal Cure—“it soon removed the
pain in my chest and I can now sleep
soundly, something I can acarcely re

sounding its praise throughout the

Tbo following was taken from the
Denver Colorado Daily News of a
resent date:
“Prof, and Mrs. Wade R. Brown,
who have been spending the summer
at the home of Mrs. Brown’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. PL M. Battis, 1449 York
street, will leave today for their
home in the South to take up the
work of the new school year. Prof.
Brown Is dean of the musical depart
ment of Limestone College, S. C., and
director of the Limestone Choral So
ciety, consisting of 100 voices, which
gives each year a musical festival
lasting several days, assisted by some
of the greatest soloists of this coun
try and Europe. Graduated at the
New England Conservatory of Music
and afterwards at Berlin, Germany,
he has for the past ten years been
engaged as director of music in some
of the principal colleges of the South,
and has a wide reputation as a pianist
and teacher, of gieat ability. Nor
is his reputation less as a choral di
rector, He is a true artist, and his
work is equal to that done by the
well-known teachers in the large
cities of the North.
“Mrs. Brown is a teacher of voice
culture in Limestone College. She is a
graduate of the New England Con
servatory of Music, and has been for
six years prominently connected
with schools of music in the South.
She has a mezzo-soprano voice of
extended compass and power. Prof,
and Mrs. Brown appeared at the re
ception to Bishop Moore at Trinity
church last Monday evening, Mrs.
Brown singing Gounod’s ‘Entreat
Me Not to Leave Thee,’ and Prof.
Brown giving a piano solo. Judging
from the applause which followed
both numbers, the critical taste of
the audience was gratified."
Prof, and Mrs. Brown have many
friends in Gaffney to whom the above
will be interesting and who will be
glad to learn that they are on their
way back to Limestone.
WOMAN
IMUKEA DEUOATE
MUSICAL IHSTRUMEMT
In good condition she is sweet and lovable,
and sings life’s song on a Joyful harmonious
string. Out of order or unstrung, there is
discordance and unhappiness. Just as there
Is one key note to all music so there is one key
note to health. A woman might as well try
to fly without wings as to feel well and look
well while the organs that make her a woman
are weak or diseased. She must be healthy
Inside or she can’t be healthy outside. There
are thousands of women suffering silently all
over the country. Mistaken modesty urges
their silence. While there Is nothing more
admirable than a modest woman, health is
of the first Importance. Every other con
sideration should give way before it. Brad-
field’s Female Regulator is a medicine for
women’s ills. It is
thesafestandquick-
est way to cure leu-
corrhea, falling of
Ihe womb, nervous
ness, headache,
backache and gen

we aie going to use this
space for our own pur
poses. We have advertis
ing space to sell, and we
know it will pay a good
return upon the price we
charge for it if it is prop
erly used. Our paper goes
into the best homes in this
community. It has been
going week after week and
year after year until each
issue is welcomed as an old
friend of the family.
The news it brings is
news of neighbors, of per
sonal affairs in which all
have more or less of a com
mon interest. If one of our
readers called upon you, a
merchant, you would do
the best you could to con
vince him that what you
had for sale was the best
he could buy. You would
show him the new things
you had got in recently.
You would tell him why
he should have them and
why they were better than
he could procureelsewhere.
You probably would make
a sale.
Your effort, however, would be con
fined to one person.
You could tell the same
story just as effectively to
every reader of this paper
in each issue.
You do not believe it
would have the same ef
fect?
If you told the story
in the same way it would.

Diabetes, with all its different attendants.
1 bat I want to add my testimonai to the
many you already have. The patient I refer
to has used th<* water freely at home for
acarcely a month now, with more beneficial
results than from months spent at different
iitiiia springs in different parts of the t'nited
States, besides long continued use of the
same waters at home. Other of my patients
and friends are now u&ing the same witli best
results. 1 cordially recommend it to all suff
ering from similar diseases.
