Don't forget the good roads ques tion This splendid weather and the condition of our dirt roads is liable to lull you into a state of indifference on this subject, but there is no ques tion of more vital interest to our peo ple than that of good roads. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The county convention was held yesterday at the court house. The deliberations were reported as per fectly harmonious. In the interest of the other candidates Mr. Butler should not have sought the county chairmanship. He should have at least been fair enough to enter the race on an equal footing with his op ponents. But it is evident that be wants and will take every advantage possible. They say that everything is fair in love and war and politics, and if the people who composed the convention and the candidates are iatisfied, then there should be no kick coming ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Senator McLaurin has issued an address to the people of South Caro lina withdrawing from the Democrat ic nriraary. We do not question the wisdom of this action of Senator Me- Laurin. We believe the man was sincere, but he allowed himself to go beyond the pale of the Democratic party. The Ledger would have sup ported him at one time, but our love for independence of thought and ac tion is not so great as to carry us into the Republican camp We be lieve in a broad, liberal democracy, but we don’t believe in democrats lining up to the republican pie counter It is just as well that Mr. McLaurio quit now, and thus save himself and his friends from the humiliation of a terrible defeat. At one time there was a fighting chance for him, but the straw that brok-* the camel’s back was laid on and the animal was killed. ♦ ♦ Amos J. Cummings, congressman from New York, died last Friday in a hospital in Baltimore. Mr. Cum mings was well known in this county. Several years ago he came down here and delivered an oration at the ‘ Bat tle Ground.” Mr. Cummings sup- prised even those who were familiar with the “Battle Ground” history by his mastery of the subject. He spent about two days here and when he started to return to Washington he said: “I never enjoyed myself more in the same space of time in all my life,” and we know the se jtiment came from the depth of bis great oig heart. Yes, be was at home with the plain simple country folk of Cherokee just as much so as be was with upper tendom of New York or Washington. He had a palate for the salt of the earth as well as the cream. We will always remember him with warm- ness, and wish it were within our power to lay a wreath upou bis bier that could never fade. A PARTNER WANTED. Oue Who Cwn FurnUh Capital to Manufac ture Hobbles for Candidates. (Correspondence of Tbe Ledger.) Buffalo, May 8.—Wanted: A part ner who can furnish small capital to go into tbe manufacturing business to manufacture hobbies for candi dates to run for an office on; would be a paying investment. Addrees, “Bachelor,” Blacksburg, 8. C. Harry Gooding, a candidate, was at Buffalo last Sunday shaking bands with North Carolinians. J. Eb Jeffeties, of Gaffney, was also st Buffalo churob. and I am al most tempted to say that be was kiss ing the women and babies; but I won’t tell that on him this time. Yet be was shaking bads with the ladies like a candidate for matrimony. Mr. Editor, announce him in your paper as a candidate for matrimony at once. He is going to be defeated if he doesn’t get married. R. M. Jolly, the road crank candi date tor supervisor, has been can vassing this section. We have heard that he has also been down in Yoik county. A correspondent from this place afked me to give some information in ngard to Buffalo’s public school fund. Last summer several citizens in t e vicinity of Buffalo church pe titioned for a public school to be established near the church for their convenience. All the trustees—smart fellows they an—were opposed to It. A few days ago a gentleman, whom I believe is reliable, Informed me that the “boss” trustee, who owns and controls the other two trustees, and perhaps the county superinten dent of education. told him that the enrollment of B iffalA entitled them to only one hundred and twelve do] lars and that they could not divide; but they ran a five months school at forty-five do 1 'nr* per month which amounted to $225 Perhaps the trus tees or superintendent of education could tell where the other #113 came from. Let them have a chance. Bachelor. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. People You ;Kuow Mini People You Don't Know Mr. and Mrs. Thus. H.

(Correspondence of The Geoger-i ComNTrt, May 4.—We see in the last issue of The Ledger where \V. R Patterson, of near Trough. made a re ply to tbe few dots that we wrote a few days ago. He tulks us if he is a colored man, and it be i< not, he doesn’t seem to be interested in the white schools, and I don't care to use any words through the columns of The Ledger with him as to the schools. But, still, if he insists on u decision through the columns of this paper, we will give him facts and fig ures later as to to the amount of tax money paid into the treasury by the colored people, number of their schools and the amount paid to them, and let him put the figures together as the tax they pay and the schooling they get. Our farmers are almost through planting their crops and most of them have got a good stand of cotton. Wheat is looking fine and if the sea son holds out we think that good crops will be the result. We are glad to state that Eddie Parker, son of Mr. Frank Parker, of this section, is better after an illness of about two weeks. Mr. and Mrs. H. £ Jefferies, of Star Farm, spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Jefferies last Satur day. Miss Bessie Kendrick, one ol Gaff ney’s most charming young ladies, spent the day with Mr. and Mrs J. S. Littlejohn and family last Wednes- dtiy • Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Kirby, of Sun- nyside, were welcome visitors in our community last wetk. Last week some scoundrel entered the church at this place and took the tent cloth which tbe people of our community subscribed to and paid for a year or so ago. It was for tbe purpose of shading the graves while the people were digging them What will our people get to doing in the fu ture? We would like to get trace of this gentleman. Mrs. Samuel Whelchel, who has been sick for some time, is some bet ter. Mr. and Mrs. .Winfield Brown, of Trough, were in our community last Sunday, the guests of Mrs. John Pet tit. Your correspondent attended ser vices at Providence Just Sunday, and there he saw more pretty girls than he could skake his lips at (under stand. he did not have the nerve to face them in the conversation that he went for). He believes that if lie attends that church again a certain farmer in that neighborhood may prepare to feed him and his florae ou that occasion. Mr and Mrs. R. S. Porter visited relatives at Cowpens last week. Billik. Royal AbSOLUTFIY'Dhdf Absolutely 'Pure Makes the food more delicious and wholesome ROYAL BAKIHO POWDER CO., NEW YORK. Commencement at DavliUoa.
