It’s a good thing that the fellow who wr*te “man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long”/did not live in the days of Rockifeller and Morgan, else he would have been termed a bigger Ananias than the malcontents who continue to misrepresent the pur poses and aims of this newspaper. If nine years of devotion to the best interests of the people of this sec tion are to count for nothing then they can well doubt its sincerity. There is one sweet satisfaction that we enjoy, and that is that whatever we may have done to promote the interests of this people we have done without hope of reward except the reward that comes from the knowl edge of having done one’s duty. For every dollar that has passed into the till of this business 100 cents worth of goods have been delivered. No one has ever forced us to do our duty when a crisis arose with the threat of our political destruction, but some have been so small as to en deavor to coerce us into doing their bidding by threats of People Yon Know Mini People You Don’t Know County Commissioner W.

Beaver Dam *jne 7.—Farmers are getting along nicely with their work. Most of them are about up with their crops. Crops are standing the dry spell all right. 1 guess the farmers now see the need of deep plowing. Cotton especially is look ing well considering the drought. Some squares have been found on Mr. D. L. Vassey’s farm. Wheat is not very good and the oat crop is almost a failure. Corn is doing very well. A good rain would help all of the crops. We are having a good Sunday school at this place. Everybody seems to be interested. Hurrah for tne fourth of July. I am glad to see the people of Gaffney make such an effort, but would be gladder to see them succeed. I hope everybody will go. Surely the people can suspend their business one day to refresh in their memories the ser vices of Washington, Green, Marion, Morgan, and ail the other revolu tionary heroes and heroines. I am glad to know that Senator Tillman has been iwited. I hope he will accept the invitation.

[J. E. Xormeut in News and Courier.) Borne important additions have re cently been made to the business growth ef Gaffney. The Star Theatre, aixty-six by one hundred and eighty feet, two stories, granite, iron and pressed brick, with stores, offices and theatre, is a very fine structure. This is built by a company, the prime movers and largest stockholders of which are Messrs. E H. DeCamp. W. C. Carpenter L Baker. J. A Car- roll and A. N. Wood. The Gafliey Ledger has handsome offices on tne first floor and Editor DeCamp is push ing things ‘ to have not the largest, but the best” newspaper offices in South Carolina. Galfneyites want a floe city hall, and a structure costing from six to eight thousand dollars is to be built at once. The Gaffney Cotton Mills, always growing and flourishing, have given another recent evidence of this expansion. A bleaching and mercerizing plant, costing $1100,000 will be built at once This will he the only concern of the kind in the South. A Kit of History.

FARMERS UP WITH WORK Many More Miners Have Gone Cut on Strike and in Some Localities the Mines Are Being Flooded With Wa ter—Women Assault Mine Boss. Wilkesbarre, Pa., June 9.—The tight ening up process which has been in progress since the anthracite coal strike began four weeks ago today continues. All classes of trades unions in the hard coal belf have taken a hand in helping the miners, and now’ the long predicted move of the rail roaders iu the region has been made. The decision of these men at meetings held in different parts of the region yesterday to refuse to aid the compa nies in their fight against the miners has encouraged the strikers greatly. At Freeland yesterday the railroad men of the Delaware, Susquehanna and Schuylkill river decided to refuse to handle the trains carrying deputies, coal and iron police or non-union men. The Lehigh Valley compr-’y men met at the same time and w ^ not handle soft coal that may be wanted to dis place hard fuel, and yesterday the Del aware, Lackawanna and Western company employes protested against the hauling of soft coal and condemned the action of railroad conductors in acting as deputies. It is reported that 68 men were taken into the No. 5 colliery of the Susquehanna Coal company at >> ,- ticoke at 3 o’clock this morning. It is not yet known whether the men are to man the pumps or be placed on guard duty. The local union at Kami- coke has selected oh of its men to act as special peacemen in the borough. The burgess has sworn them in. Some of the engineers at Pittston who have been working all along did not go to work today. WOMEN GROW BELLIGERENT.

Sheriff Jacobs was notified last night of the strikers’ intention, and ac c om panied by eight -special office rs took .in early car to Freeland to prevent a demonstration. The mine workers learned last night that the sheriff had been appealed *o tor protection, and to make interference on his part unnec essary District Secretary Gallagher preceded Sheriff Jacobs to Freeland. Refused to Obey Strike Order. Middlesboro, Ky., June 9.—About B.Oiio miners and coke workers in Buchanan county, W. Va.. and Wise and Scott counties, Va., refused to obey strike orders and are at work. The Virginia. Iron, Coal and Coke company employs most of these men. The officials of the company state that they have no fear of their men going out at any time. Hungarians Leave for Coal Fields. Huntington. W.

Hur|n iM-<l at Dark of Advertising Icy tiafT- ney Mechanics.—The Candidates are Vig orously I’reparing for the Campaign. Personals and Docals. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, June 7.— Ihe Salem Sunday school is preparing for a children’s day sometime about the 1st of August. Mr. George White is the milier at Thompson’s mill and grinds two days in each week—Tuesday and Saturday Mrs. John Estes, a ho has been si k for a long time, is up and about again. Mrs. Betsey Hartford, who has been in bad health for a good while, is still confined to her bed and ttill perhaps be no better soon,-if ever. All the weather prophets have missed the rain so far. With the exception of gardens and red land crops we are not suffering for rain. Farmers are about up with their work and a few are cutting wheat. The wheat cron is generally light and some are in. king horse-feed of it. They say they will not trouble to have threshed. We made a hurried trip to Gaffney this week and Messrs. Felder Pnil- lips and Fortenberry greatly improved our understanding and means of locomotion. Both of these gentle men are among Cherokee couuty’s best mtcbenics and citizens. What surprises us is that the Gaff ney mechanics don’t advertise as uo the other professions. Experience has taught us that iu that to*\ni,as well as others iu which we have been) it is sometimes hard for a stranger to find lt>4 kind of a workman he wants or rather a man to de a certain kind of a job. If you call for or enquire for his place of business you wiii find half the people living in the place can’t tell wher • he or his place of business is. This is annoying to the customer as wel. as a loss to the customer. We find the candidates are getting ready for the campaign. They are brushing up their hoomlets and mem orizing their speeches. The poor little dirty face babies may iook out for a grand kissing this summer seen him \ id know him. and this makes the hook the more interest jrg to us.

It’s the season for promises. This is not the cate in Cher kee more than other counties —perhaps not so bad as some. All are more or less in the same line. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation from Mr and Mrs. Wistar Nichols Wright to attend the mar riage of their daughter, Nannie May, to Mr. M Rheit Macomsoo on Wed nesday evening, June 18;h, in the First Presbyterian church at Laurens. Mr. Macomson is one of Cberok»-e county’s most estimable young men and we congratulate him upon his conquest. Besides, we thank the parents of this beautiful bride for an invitation to attend the sdemniza- tion of such a happy event. We are very sorry to know that Mr. P. H. Webber is still suffering from injuries he received iu a fail sometime ago which were promtly re ported in these columns. He is still unable to get about and attend to business. Mr. Webber is a good mechanic, an industrious hard work ing man and his misfortune is a great calamity to a community in which his service are so much in demand. VVe hope he will soon recover and we v ice but the sentiments of our good people when we sympathize with him. We have read a history of The Life of Amos Owens, the noted blockader of Cherry Mountain, N. C., which is interesting. It contains fifty-five pages and tells much that unfolds the habits, customs and conditions of 'he people of the mountain region of North Carolina. The story is well written by Corn Cracker, who in his prefac says among other things ; ‘■We cherished no fond hope of setting the river on fire, and should such a conflagration occur, no one would be more surprised than the author. This work is not intended as a stricture or a series of strictures on the revenue service, nor as an apol ogy for contraband whisky. The effort to glorify crime has been avoided, and nothing here is given to cau.te the youthful reader a desire for a life of crime. Nay, verily, hut through all these pages runs the sou-mu warning, “the way of the tran>gressor is hard.” and the effort has been made to preserve a chaste and simple style. With ihe passing of Amos Owens the present condition of affairs and the i an lutes of society will soon dele- gate the blockader to the past—then a dim ami fading monument of a semi-barbarous age. The press and pulpit which hurl their denunciations at this unholy Irdllie, and the ststely sippi’ g of edu cation brought about by the mo it-(, humble hut nevertheless powerful, schoolmaster who is now abroad and here to stay, will beat back many of the bands of intemperance and pow erful agencies of darkness.
