THE MUSIC FESTIVAL.
Next week is the time, Limestone
College the place, and Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday the days for the
great May Music Festival. Gaffney
should don her holiday attire, put
her best foot foremost and make her
most graceful curtsey to the im
mense throng that will be within
her borders.
The advance sale of seats has been
the largest in the history of Gaffney
music festivals and the indications
are that the event will be a most pro
nounced success both financially and
artistically. Prof. Maxim has labored
with great energy, and his assistants
have done much towards making the
occasion a success. The choral so
ciety was never in better condition
and everything is in readiness. The
Ledger has-been reliably informed
that the chorus will compare most
favorably with any chorus in the
South Atlantic States this season.
Large crowds are expected from
neighboring towns and preparations
are being made to entertain more peo
ple within the gates of Gaffney than
on any similar occasion.
Our people must not yet cease
work. There is stiil much to be done
and nothing should be left undone to
complete the comfort and pleasure of
the visitors. Let us treat them so
nicely that they will remember us
with delight and be glad to come to
see us again.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Keep your eye on the man who by
misrepresentation acquires anything,
be it material or political. Such a
man will bear watching.
For ways that are heathen and
tricks that are vain the modern po
litical leader removes the dilapidated
linen from the shrubbery.

The baseball season is now on and
the fads are enjoying themselves im
mensely. Gaffney is like the label on
the bottle in regard to baseball—not
in it.

The Democratic colleagues of Sen
ator Tillmau administered a stinging
rebuke to the pitchfork senator
Wednesday. Mr. Tillman was hand
ling Mr. McComas in true barnyard
style on the Philippine question
when all but three of the Democratic
senators retired to the cloak room.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Governor Jefferson Davis, of Kar.
•as. is a peach. He has been hauled
up in hie church for “cussin’ and
drinkin’,” and the other day be par
doned a negro criminal on the condi
tion that said criminal should take
up bis abode in the State of Massa
chusetts, where he would be among
those who denounce the South's in
human treatment of the negro. Gov
ernor Davis is a luscious peach.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
A certain candidate for public favor
Is telling ihe people that this news
paper is opposing him, and some have
suggested that it would be policy on
our part to cease the opposition.
Those who do not like our course are
not compelled to patronize us. We
do not send the paper t< people who
do not pay for it, therefore if anyone
who has paid for it is dissatisfied, all
he has to do is to call and get his
money back. Money deposited in
The Ledger office is as irood as money
deposited in the bark. If you don’t
want the Koods, you can get your de
posit. We will shut up shop if we
can’t succeed by advocating what
we believe to be right rather than
succeed advocating what we believe
to be wrong.

Etta Jane, May 7.—Mr. John A.
M. Estes had a mule snagged on the
juw yesterday afternoon and it came
near bleeding to death last night.
We have received the catalogue of
the officers and students of Davidson
College (X. C.) for the Goth collegiate
year ending May 2S 1902.
In the last number of the Confed
erate Veteran is a picture of Major
John VV. Tenoh. formerly of Asbury,
Union county, but now oi Bartow,
Fla.
About Tuesday, June 3rd, the La
dies Memorial Association will meet
at Salem to decorate the graves of
the Confederate soidiers buried there
The tinJe hasn’t been officially an
nounced yet, but will be soon.
Mr. T. A. Goforth with two of his
sons, Claude and George, and his son-
in-law, 8. A. Lee, have gone to
Charleston for a few days’ sight-see
ing.
Mieses Doretha Lee and Jessie
Strain are visiting on the York side
of the river.
We understand that Rev. Anderson
Smarr, a colored theological student,
will assist the local pastor of Salem
(colored) Presbyterian church (Rev.
Collier) in his work this summer. If
his race would turn their attention to
study and hard woik as Anderson
does, the cbaingang would soon be
a thing of the past. Rev. Mr. Smarr
hasn’t yet reached that point where
learning to preach necessitates his
learning to quit work.
Messrs. ll«mp and Whit Mitchell
and their wives attended preaching at
Salem last Sabbath The Mesdames
Mitchell are daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. Ben McCulloch and are among
the best ladies of Cherokee county,
and we know that Cherokee county
has as many smart, good looking and
well-doing ladies in it according to
number as any county in the State or
elsewhere. But oh, how many poor
excuses for husbands do we find in
Cherokee !
Robert 0. Crouch, of Morristown.
Tenn.. writes: ‘ Should any friend of
I. L. Derrick. Company I, Fifteenth
Regiment South Carolina Volunteers,
Kershaw’s brigade, desire information,
his grave could be located. He was
killed in December 1803.” We hope
The Ledger will carry this informa
tion to some anxious heart. If so, it
will have fulfilled our mission.
We had a mule choked on grass on
Monday, but it got relief by rubbing
the swallow with the hand.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed Burgess, of
Sharon, who bus been visiting rela
tives and friends in the county, at
tended the sacramental meeting at
Salem last Sabbath. A large congre
gation was present for both the day
and night services.
The subject of tho morning discus
sion was, “How can God be just and
justify the sinner?" Text, Romans
3:26, and at night it was “Christ’s
humiliation," Luke 23:33, “And
when they were come to a place which
is called Calvary, there they crucified
Him, and the malefactors, one on the
right band and the other on the left."
We regret to learn that Mrs. George
Mitchell died yesterday at Lockhart
Mills. She had been in bad health
for some time. She will be buried at
Salem today.
Ed Edwards, our Tubal Cain, has
made Miss Jessie Strain a nice flower
aland.
We were too previous in our re
marks about the crows in last week’s
paper. They are all over the fields
pulling up corn. But it’sonly recently
t'at tte/ came here. They have
not been seen in any quantitiea in
this section since last winter until a
few days ago.
The fiat at Howell’s terry is well
arranged, both for comfort and ease
in handling 4>ne safely In crossing.
The most improved rigging has been
placed on it and it's very little trouble
now to operate. It has never been so
conveniently arranged as it is now.
We have some corn and cotton both
to plant yet. A good rain would be
very acceptable to the farmers to
bring up their crops.
Dr. R. G. Surratt, we learn, will
noon remove to Union cotton mill,
where he will practice medicine.
Mr. James Eison came over with
his saw mill and did some work last
week He and J VV. Nance, of Grin-
dal, are in partnership in the saw mill
business
In a few days farmers will be about
through work until they get rain.
Those who have inspected the
wheat crop say the prospect is fine.
The oat crop will he another failure
if it, doesn't get rain soon.
The latest nove'ty in child-raising
is to send them off from home to give
them a chance to grow. That is a
peculiar rea-on. To claim that they
were sent off to prevent their con
tracting bad habits tsught and al
lowed at home would be much more
reasonable, and it might, be a bless
ing. provider! they don’t fall into
worse company.
We are glad to see the corps of
Ledger correspondents increasing in
both numbers and efficiency, and we
hope to see and know more of them.
The Ledger is an ideal people’s paper
and is entitled to the support of all
fair-minded'people—it’s a clean jour
nal and calls no man master.
As several newspapers have taken
a vote of subscribers at different
times for different purposes, such as 1
the prettiest girl, the best factory
boss, or most popular superintendent,
we think The Ledger ought to al
low its patrons to say who is the best
farmer in Cherokee county and the
most popular salesman—either as
cierk or proprietor in any of the
stores.
Rev. A. D. Davidson passed by
here last Saturday on his way to
Shiloh church on Bullock’s creek.
Mr. J ames Cansler, the loquacious
candidate for railroad commissioner,
gave us a call this a. m. He says h»
will accept no free passes and he will
stand a measurement vith any of his
opponents around the cranium if not
round the waistband of his pants.

The shirt waist is no longer a shirt
waist. It is a blouse. That is be*
cause it has lost its sembieuce to the
stiffy starched affairs that gave it its
name, and it is now soft and graceful.
White is still the correct thing.
Even in frocks white will be prefer
red.
A pretty dress for the coming hot
days is one of blue linen. The blouse
istmkedand then ornamented with
two inch squares in fine embroidery
set on diamond-wise. These are cut
low at the base of the neck, the
lengthwise points forming a circle
around the edge. The points to the
upper half are caught to an inch band
of black.velvet ribbon which ties in a
long bow at the back, fitting close to
the neck, and forming a cool, pretty
collar. Soft ribbons could be used in
place of the velvet and be even cooler.
Stiff linen collars and starched
cuffs are things of the past. A good
plan is to so finish the neck that it
can be worn with a high or low deco
ration. as the temperature and occa- |
biun may make most agreeable.

Antioch, May 7 —The farmers are
about through planting their cotton
and corn.
We had a heavy hail storm Satur
day afternoon, but it did not do any
damage to the crops.
Most of the farmers were getting
uneasy about theii cropv, hut there
is no need to worry about :-uch things
for God will provide for all tbe needy.
Cotton is coming up fast since the
rain.
Messrs. R. M Roark, J. R Dickson
and E. Hardin went to Gaffney

It seems that we are going to have
a good crop of candidates from the

want the office, but of course all of
them cannot be elected. We hope
that Cherokee’s best men will be vic

That’s a good name for
Scott’s Emulsion. Children
are like young plants. Some
will grow in ordinary soil.
Others need fertilizers.
The nature of some children
prevents them from thriving
on ordinary food Such chil
dren grow right if treated right.
All they need is a little fer
tilizer—a little extra richness.
Scott’s Emulsion is the right
treatment.
Fertilizers make thingsgrow.
That’s just what Scott’s Emul
sion does. It makes children
grow in flesh, grow in strength,
grow ricli blood, grow in mind,
