State. It is high time the people of j j have deemed it best to with
South Carolina were taking a sober rHW f rom race. I desire to ex-
second thought and relegating such
cattle as James Tillman to the rear.
Surely Cherokee county will never so
degrade herself as to cast her ballot
for a liar, a gambler or a drunkard,
and Mr. Jim Tillman is credited as
possessing all these “noble” traits of
character. We refer you to Senator
Sarratt or Representatives McCraw
and Butler as to the truth of these
statements. The latter is said to be
exceptionally well acquainted with
Jim Tillman.

The people of this State will this
summer have the opportunity to se
lect their officers for two years more
The thinking people will be cautious
and select the best men possible to !
vote for, but a great many will go to
the polls and vote without giving any
thought to the character of the men
they cast their ballots foi. Every
man who thinks well of himself and
bis country should study three ques
tions before casting bis ballot
First:—Is the candidate a man of
character, one who keeps his word
and does not seek to deceive and mis
lead? Second:—Is be qualified to fill
the office he aspires to? Third:—Is
he worthy of the honor? After the«e
questions have been given due consid
eration and settled rightly, the voter
is not likely to err. In order to have
the best government possible we must
get the best men possible to fill the
offices.

The coming celebration of the
Fourth of July promises to eciipst-
anything ever heretofore attempted
by the people of Gaffney, and it is
right and proper that it should. The
business people have enjoyed a fairly
prosperous season, the mechanic has
labored faithfully and without cessa*
tion and the farmers have put in
good time on the farm, therefore it is
nothing but right that all should take
a day off and enjoy the freedom and
recreation of the occasion. Let the
hum of machinery stop, let the
music of the saw and hammer give
place to the toot of cornet accom
panied by the slide trombone and the
big bass horn while the clash of the
symbals and the rattle of the snare
dxum and the thud of the big bass
drum keep a lively accompaniment.
L«t all Cherokee come and bring their
neighbors ami we wi.l enjoy one huge,
grand day and then we cun take up
our labors with renewed energy and
feel better for the coralngllog.

NOT SO VERY GREEN.
The riuritlu Mini Itnlher Evened
Matters, I’p With the New Yorker.
When the young man from Florida
cutne to live in New York, he woke up
one morning last winter, and, going to
the window, he looked out on what was
to him a novel scene. It was a snow
storm. the first ho had ever seen.
Jumping into his clothes, lie ran into
the street. He stooped and gathered
handfuls of snow and threw them in
the air. He Jumped into a drift and
sent it flying with his feet He finally
lay down aftd rolled In it, all the time
shouting and laughing at the top of bis
voice.
One of the crowd which had gathered
to watch his antics went up to him and
told him how his mother used to cure
tits and volunteered to try it on him.
“I haven’t any tit,” the young man
said.
"What’s the matter with you. then?”
"Why, don’t you see the snow?”
“Yes. I see it. What of it? I have
seen it before.”
"Well, I haven’t.” said the Florida
young man.
“What! You never saw snow’ be
fore?" asked the astonished questioner,
“Never. Seems strange to you, don’t
it?”
“It beats any sample of verdancy I
ever run across.’’
“Oh. I don’t know,” mur *d the Flori
da cracker. “Did you ever see an alli
gator eating a nigger? No? Well, you
are not so many after all. I have seen
it many times.” And, throwing a hand
ful of snow down his shirt collar, he
pursued his Joyous gambols.—New

NEW CANDIDATE
FOR LEDISLATUBE
Who is Bound to Get There
for “Bettie” Says So.
NOT BEGGING FOR VOTES
IIIh Platform I* Ktform and Retrench
ment —If Elected Will Reduce the Salary
of .111 Officials Except Those Whom He
U Personally Interested In.
We hereby announce ourself a
candidate as a representative in the
legislature of South Carolina. Of
course we are not begging for votes,
because our “old woman” says that
she is going to send us to the legisla
ture anyway, and we want it to be
distinctly understood that what our
“old woman” says goes, at least it
does with us, but knowing that our
friends would be eager to vote for us,
we thought that we would give them
the privilege of doing so.
But the best part of it is: When
ever we get through overhauling the
State laws our “old woman” says
that she is going to send us to con
gress to straighten out those fellows
out there. (Ha, ha, ha, but wont we
shine when we get out there to boss
ing those big “bugs?”)
The platform upon which we are to
go to the legislature is reform and re
trenchment. (We don’t know what
that means, but “Bet” does, though.
‘Bet” is what we call our old woman,
except when preaching in her pres
ence, then we cali her “Bettie”—it
would not add anything to our health
for her to hear us call her “Bet ”) It
is to be our special duty to retrench
in the matter of officers’ salaries.
Now, as for our own individual opin
ion, we don’t thir k that our officers,
with a few exceptions, get any too
much pay nohow, but “Bet” says
that they do, and what she says is
law. (with us )
“Bet” says that we must cut the
governor’s pay down to ($500) five
hundred dollars a year, (but we are
not going to cut it under $2,000 be
cause we may he governor ourself
some time.) We told her that we
were afraid that we could not get a
good governor for that small salary,
hut she says that there are plenty of
men all over this State who have got
just as much sense as anybody’s gov
ernor who would be glad to make
$500 a year. But we are satisfied
that we can get a real number one
governor for $2,000 a year.
Now, in rtgard to the pay of the
legis'ators. We will have to get our
brother legislators to help work up
some plan by which we can fool
“Bet,” because she says that one
dollar per day is enough for them,
and we are of the unalterable opinion
that they should be paid $500 u year,
not because we are going to he one of
them, but becHiise we don’t actually
think that that is any too much to
pay them.
And then we are to very greatly re
duce the pay of all Stake officers, be
cause “Bet” says that officers are
servants of the p*ople, and that if
we pay them such good wages that
they soon become ‘stu< k up” and
think themselves better than their
masters, the people.
There is one office that we are go
ing to abolish entirely, that of State
or dispensary constable. “Bet” says
that they have been raiding around
here every week or two for the last
eight or ten years and if they have
ever done any good (outside of draw
ing their pay) towards the stopping
of the selling of liquor that she can’t
tell it, that she is not going to put
up with any such a farce any longer.
We are going to make it the duty of
magistrates and their constables to
Im k after the liquor business and
pay them for only what they do.
But she thinks it best to let the dis
pensary stand as it is, as the people
are almost obliged to have a little liq
uor some time, but that she is not
going to have so much blamed fool
ishness about the thing any longer.
Of course, dear voter and fellow
citizen, it will not be expected of us
to reduce the pay of offices in which
we ar# personally interested, but we
will go for the other fellows and
don’t you forget it. Thanking in ad
vance tne dear voters of Cherokee
and surrounding country for their
very cordial support, we have the
honor of being their very humble ser
vant, Gumtrke
