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

Deafness Cannot Ih-Cured

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by in (lamed condition of the mucous

ot the dear candidate. South Caro

festive candidate. 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

nose possesseth a pink coloring, for
it is an indication that he bath not I

he hath been up with the boys; j

thou wilt profit much more there

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.

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.
Limestone College is fuil of the
taleut and beauty of the South. Her,
ab e president and strong, hard work
ing corps of teachers have instilled
in nserv Mr >d ambition into the who!
student body whi^h make meth d

certainties.
Our Graded Schools are full to over
flowing and are presided over by
able principals, assisted by good
teachers who are cognizant of the
duties of their high calling. They
are impressing the children with the
advantages these schools afford them,
and are gradually bringing them Up
to a proper appreciation of thepa.
Nothing can grow out of Limestone
College and our Graded Schools but
good. They are monuments to tne
proper spirit of our p- ople. All are
grateful for them. We see the good
work they are doing and feel that
coming generations will be recipients
of th=ir beneficence.

Well, it’s a good sign for

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

inside and out. It makes soft

weak lungs strong, hollow
places full. Only the best ma
terials are used in the patching

No one has to wait his turn.
You can do it yourself—you
