Verses Itelow Are hy a Hon of the Author of a Famous I’oeni, [The poem printed below was sent us by its author sometime ago with a request that we criticise it, and pub lish it or not as we might think proper. Rather than offer any criti cisms of our own we lay it before our readers and give every one of them a chance to criticise it for himself. The verses read smoothly, rhyme well, and there is an air of mystery about them which is highly favorable to poetry of some kinds. Tt may in terest our readers to know that the author is the son of the writer of the famous poem, "All Quiet Along the Potomac To-night.” one of the ringing war poems of ’61. There were several claimants to the author ship of this celebrated poem and the question was a long time unsettled; but a few years ago Mr. Oliver estab lished beyond ail doubt that his fath er, Captain Oliver of a Georgia regi ment, was the author. It seems that the poetic vein has extended to the son, and we recommend a careful reading of this product of his genius -Ed.] Earthly GUmpaeii ami Heavenly (.leame. Rv Rev. Hdoh F. Omver. • For the Gaffney Ledger. Boom-a-loom-a, loom-a-lxvom-a. Loud machines their work are plying: Life's an endless, sunny summer, lie's a fool that talks of dying. Nought of Heaven and wliat’s before us. All of earth and things around us, liullfrog song and jackdaw chorus Ever, everywhere confound us. ll'azeu horns without are blaring, Donkey men are shouting, braying; Traitor doubts within arc scaring Childhood faith at home from staying. Laughing, jeering, swearing, sneering. Market crowds are pushing, rushing; Under modest bonnets peering, Honest checks they set to blushing. And the face and form adorners Mingle with the money makers— Gold-linked friends ami poor folks' scorners, Mortgage-binders and heart-breakers. Quickly green grow graves with grasses. Dim the shadow of Death Angel; Dream-like from the stricken passes Echo of the Lord’s Evangel. Dead the dead, they cannot aid us, Safe above, they do not need us: Think of folks who have not paid us— And when dunned they do not heed usV Laughter loud and skeptic speering Fling their deadly witching o’er us; Not Ills praises -God is hearing liullfrog song and jackdaw chorus. God forgot, hut not forgetting. Hear the prayers we should be making! Not for aye wilt thou be letting Us to he our own way taking. Hack and hack to happy youth time, Us t j save from evil raring. Rack and hack to Heavenly truth-time, Memory’s ship us all is hearing. Gracious ones who taught us praying, Gone to he with seraphs singing, On your graves our ears we’re laying, in our brains your words are riugiug! God of forbears long departed into homes of bliss foretold them, itreak our hearts, that, broken-hearted, We may seek the Heavens which hold them! Florence, S. O.

Everyone interested in minerals, and especially in the mineral wealth of Cherokee county, should road the article in another column written by "A Miner on the appointment of a State geologist and minerologist. Cherokee county is rich in minerals of all kinds, hut, as "Miner” says, the owners of the soil that contains them are nearly all agriculturists and know little of minerals and metals. It seems, though, that we are likely to have a smelting machine before many days somewhere near the lower portion of the county, and that the ores which are there in abundan e, are to be utilized. The following from the Hickory Grove Sun is in reference to this enterprise : ‘‘A gentleman of note, influence and means was in Hickory last week looking about and getting information ls to the quantity of gold ore in western York. He informed us that he and other parties would^ be here again in about thirty days and that it was very likely that they would es tablish a smelting machine here with a capacity of reducing fifty tons of ore per day. There is an abundance of this ore in western York and just across Broad river in Cherokee county near Smith’s ford There s no enterprise that we be lieve w’ould do more general good in this community than one like this and we hope it will soon become a reality. More later as to this enter- ptise. Man of means have their eye on our mineral resources and they should meet with proper encourage ment.” The New Light I’tiiiit. For Rent.

Wednesday night at the home of the bride, in Spartanburg,Mr. George W. Chalk, of Ravenna, and Mrs. Emily C. Smith, of the above named city, were united in marriage by Rev. Mr. Richardson, assisted by Rev. Mr. Covington. Mr. Chalk is one of Cherokee’s best citizens and is a leader in bis commu nity. He was for a long time a mer chant at Ravenna, but is now a pros perous planter and stands high in the esteem and confidence of his neigh bors and fellow citizens. Mrs, Smith, the bride, is a good woman and enjoys the respect and esteem of a large circle of friends. The friends of the newly married couple wish them a life full of peace and contentment, of happiness and prosperity, and The Ledger joins them with hearty congratulations. The Report Confirmed. The Carolina Baptist says that one of the Louisville papers announces that Rev. A. C. Cree has accepted the call of the First church of Gaff ney, and that it hopes to hear the announcement confirmed and to have the pleasure, of welcoming Mr. Cree to South Carolina. No doubt the Baptist has beard the report con firmed by this time; but as it is pos sible that it has not, we take the liberty of informing our esteemed contemporary that Mr. Cree has ac cepted the call and that he expects to take charge of his church on the second Sunday in March. Gaffneyltes In Arkansas. In a private letter from Mr. Fletcher Smith who formed one of the pleasure party that went from this place to Hot Springs, Ark., about two weeks ago, he states that they are all doing nicely and having a ".fine time.” They have rented a cottage and are enjoying some of the comforts of home life. The Ledger also has a letter from Mrs. M. L. Ross, who is one of the party, which appears in another column. We wish them, one and all, a pleas ant and beneficial stay in Hot Springs and a safe journey home. Nesrlng Completion. The new two-story brick building that Mr. J. L. Spake is having erected on Limestone street is nearing com pletion and will soon be ready for oc cupancy. The lower portion will be used as a store room, while the upper part will be cut up into rooms for offices and other -purposes. . When finished it will be an ornament to Limestone street, as well as a commodious busi ness house. Mr. Spake is thoroughly progres sive in his ideas—hence the success that has attended him. Fnsumonln Can be Prevented, This disease always results from a cold or au attack of the grippe aod may be prevented by the timely use of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. That remedy was extensively used during the epidemics of La Grippe of the past few years, and not a single case has ever been reported that did not recover or that'resulted lu pneu monia, which shows it to be a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has gained a world wide reputation for Its cures of colds and grip. For le by Cheroaee Drug Co. F OR SALE—One good pair match mules, years old.

The contractors who were awarded the contract for putting in the new electric light plant, arrived in the city Thursday, and work has begun on the foundation of the new addition to the power house. Mr. 1/. Baker nas the contract for enlarging the house and Messrs. Cecil <fe Curry be gan work on the brick part Monday. The new addition will be twenty- seven feet long, and two new engines and another boiler will be put in, thus making all new machinery. The gentlemen who have the work in charge are all men of push and en ergy, and the work will be rushed to completion and the plant put in in the shortest possible time. Gaffoey will then have sufficient power to furnish lights for the city as well as for individuals who may desire them ; and we hope that when the plant has been put in operation there will be no room for complaint about the scarcity of lights for our streets.

The Acme Furniture Co. who succeeded Carroll Carpenter ft Hum- iihries the first of January. 1U01, are still doing business at the old stand, but have been too busy to write adver.lsements When the President of the Acme Furniture Company entered actively into the work of the old firm twelve months ago, he realized lit once that the stock carried and the facili ties for meeting ihe demands of the trade were totally insufficient and set to work to bring about a better state of affairs. How well we liave succeeded we leave for you to decide.
