THE MUSIC FESTIVAL. The people of (iatiuey should take hold ot the May Music Festival and use their best endeavors to push it to a successful termination. Spartan burg has been made famous by the pronounced success of her music fes tivals. It was only the other day that the announcement was made that over fl200 worth of tickets had been disposed of in one day for Spar tanburg's festival. This magn ficent showing is more than probably due to the united stand the Spartans have taken in behalf of everything that tends towards putting Spartanburg forward. We cannot be class-d as imitators when we undertake a festival for the simple r-ason that when Spartan burg undertook the first one we were a part of Spartanburg, yet at the same time it would be no harm t-> imitate a good thing especially it we make an effort to improve on the original. This is the purpose of the promoters of the Limestone Music Festival, and therefore it will deserve the hearry co-operation of every citi zen of Gaffney. The Ledger is zealous for the suc cess of every laudable undertaking proposed by the people of Gaffney or Cherokee, therefore it is anxious that this festival prove a success We see no reason why our people should not begin to talk it up now and keep talking it nntil after it has passed. Prof. Maxim has secured some of the foremost musicians of America and Europe tc take part in the program. There can be no doubt as to the character and ability of the artists who are coming. The local chorus consists of one hundred voices and Prof. Maxim has been engaged in training this chorus for some time. We can see no reason why Gaffney should not entertain at leaat two thousand visitors during the festival. These can easily be gotten here if our people will get to work. The young folk - can do much to swell the crowd by Inviting their friends to come an i •pend a day or two with them dur ng the festival. Every time you write a letter mention the festival to your relative or friend The railroads will give reduced rates and this will be a golden opportunity to have your rela tives and friends from a distance viait you. Gaffney is never prettier than in May. Let our residents begin now to prepare their front yards and msk- of them flower gardens, put a few pails of whitewash on the fence, give the painter a job and let the paper hanger select a nice design for you. In other words, begin now to prepare for the great May Music Festival and let music be written across the thresh'Id, ever the lawc and in the countenance and ^'art, and invite the world and his wife to come and enjoy the occasion MOT EM AMO COMMENTS.

There |s only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by in (lamed condition of the mucous I'ning of the Eustachian Tula-. When this tula- gets inllained you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when ills entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can lx- taken out and this tube restored toils normal condi tion. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out often arecaused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

His smiling c» u t- tonance and hearty hacdshuke bring joy and gladness to the dear people and he is not to be despised. But let us paraphrase a divine Injunction and say : “Look rot upon the can didate when his eye is red and bis nose possesseth a pink coloring, for it is an indication that he bath not I slept a» much as I e should hi d he hath been up with the boys; j believe not his every saving for he L- iiuble to handle words with a reck less regard for the truth; but rather attend to thine own business in tbe field and in the store house, for then j thou wilt profit much more there by.” ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A St. Louis broReragfc and commis sion comoauy has seut us a valuable pamphlet on the corn question and advises us to invest our spare dollars in tbe cereal. We have replied to them as follows: “Yours of recent date containing valuable information on corn statistics, and precious and appre^ated advice relative to buying was received this morning. I regret that I did not receive your letter about two years ago. It would then have been of some use to me. Indeed it would then have proven a boon. But I have sold my horse, Bob, and, having never invested in another horse, have no earthly use for corn just at this writing. However, when I last laid eyes on Bob he seemed to be sadly in need of corn, and I have no doubt if you could open communi cation with him you could mak-i a deal. I don’t thick he would stickle about the price or terms.” OUR SCHOOLS. Limestone Eolleg* hu*i GatTney'ii Graded. School* Doing Good Work. There are no greater sources tf moral and business strength in Gaff ney than are Limestone College and our splendid Graded School*, to say nothing of the just pride we have in them.

Well, it’s a good sign for Scott’s Emulsion. The body as to be repaired like other nine’s and Scott’s Emulsion is ie medicine that does it. These poor bodies wear out om worry, from over-work, om disease. They get thin nd weak. Some of the new mes are not well made—and ill of the old ones are racked from long usage. Scott’s Emulsion fixes all kinds. It does the work both inside and out. It makes soft nones hard, thin blood red. weak lungs strong, hollow places full. Only the best ma terials are used in the patching and the patches don’t show through the new glow of health. No one has to wait his turn. You can do it yourself—you and the bottle.
