CHANGING CHIEFS.
Chief Camp Retires and Chief Lockhart
Take* Charge.
Chief of Police Tbos. H. Lockhart
took the oeth of office yesterday and
is now in the regular discharge of hie
duties. Tom is a good man and offi
cer and his many friends are glad lo
have him back in Gaffney.
The following is the address of the
retiring chief, B F. {Camp, who has
served faithfully and efficiently for
the past twelve years.
Upon retiring from the office of
chief of police of the town of Gaffney,
I wish to say that I entertain no feel
ing of hostility toward any individ
ual either in the town or the coun
try. In laying down the badge of
office I do so with a consciousness of
having done my duty both to the
town and country. When I came to
Gaffney in the early spring of 1890 to
take charge of the police of the town,
the town and country were arrayed
against each other, so much so that
it was actually dangerous for a police
officer to arrest a man from the coun
try ; but it is not the case now. I be
lieve that if it were necessary that I
could get as much help from the
country people as I could from the
people of the town
I have tried to do my duty fairly
and impartially both to town and
country, and I sincerely hope that
the old feeling of town against coun
try is a thing of the past, as they are
both dependent upon each other for
their material advancement. Now
in retiring from the office of chief of
police I do not propose to forsake the
place of my adoption, and shall al
ways stand ready to lend a helping
hand to anything that will promote
the interest and advancement of the
town or surrounding country, and as
I have served the people faithfully in
the past, I stand ready to serve the
people ol the county in another capac
ity faithfully and well if such is the
wish of the majority of my fellow
citizens.
It is the dearest wish of my heart
that the people of the whole county
will come together and let us make
Chen k*e county a “watchword'’ for
progress and thrift. Let the people
of Gaffney shake hands with our sis
ter city across the Broad, and let this
stream no longer divide us in any way
except geographically.
The iron bridge is but another lit k
which should bind us closer instead
of putting us further asunder.
And to my worthy successor in
office, Mr. T. H. Lockhart, permit me
to say that you have my best wishes
for a successful administration. May
the people “hold up your hands” as
Aaron and Hur held up the hands of
Mo-es, even 'till the going down of
the sun. Take this badge and wear
it with honor to yourself and to the
town. Do your duty at all times and
in all places Do justice to all, hut
always temper justice with mercy
Be humane, for man’s inhumanity to
man has caused countless thousands
to mourn. Do your duty so that when
you lay this badge down the people
of Gaffney can say well done good
and faithful servant, thou hast done
well. B F. Camp,
Ex-Ohitf.
The Colored Celebration.
The colored celebration held at
Limestone on the 18th inst. was pro
nounced a grand success; there being
between 500 and 1,000 people on the
ground. Notwithsanding the fact
that the dispensary and beer saloon
were open that day, still everything
passed off quietly and everybody was
greatly elated over the occasion.
Blacksburg and Gaffney crossed bats
and had an excitable time—resulting
in 14 to 8 in favor of Gaffney. The
wheel race was carried out all right
and attracted not a little attention.
Several white gentlemen from town
were down and pronounced it the
grandest celebration the colored peo
ple of Gaffney have ever had.
Jas. Miller, better known as
“Merch” Miller, was chief promoter
and deserves credit for the manner in
which ne handled the crowd.
A Ciiiitalou|>e * east.
Yesterday afternoon a Ledger rep
resentative had the pleasure of in
dulging in a cantaloupe feast at the ,
National Bank The cantalounes
were cultivated by tenant Maynard
Smith on the plantation of D. C.
Ross. Messrs. F. G. Stacy and Char
ley Hames were also participants.
But the meanest thing of all was
Ross' getting closer to the crack than
the invited guest and then marching
him out to Mr. C. C. Harris’ wheel.
None but the initiated will under
stand this lingo, therefore to make it
plainer we will say its a pretty mean
trick to invite a fellow to eat canta
loupe and then stick him for the
stogies.
A UHmtliiK Society.
Last Saturday evening the Wade
Hampton debating society met in
the basement of the Cherokee Avenue
church. The subject for the eve
ning was. Be it resolved that men
shall be educated rather than women.
The speakers for the affirmative were
Messrs. W W. Crocker, Chas. Davis
and Joe Robertson. Those for the
negative were Messrs. Bealy, Henry
Wilkerson and Chas Durham. The
judges after careful consideration de
cided for the affirmative. The so
ciety will meet at the same place
next Saturday evening. Come out
and b.*ar our boys debate.
MtMit* ('sfiiiutlifii Meeting,
Attend the campaign meeting at
Gaffney tomorrow. All the candi
dates for State officers will ad
dress the people of Cherokee then.
Turn out and give them a big crowd
and respectful hearing.

The foliowing personal letter was
received at this office in due season.

that we have been so very busy,
and we give it now to show
how much our efforts to publish the
news is appreciated by our friends

K., and we shall keep them in re
membrance of him, and always wish
for him that which perseverance and
honesty merit.
E H. DeCamp. Esq , Gaffney, S. C.
Dear Sir :—You are real mean cut
ting me out of my paper just at a
time I was anxious to see an account
of the grand “Fourth.” J had over
looked the fact that my time was up.
I enclose money order for -fl 00 as a
renewal. How can you expect me to
do without “a letter from home twice
a week.”
I am mailing you under separate
cover a few small souvenirs. These,
in value, I presume are worthless to
yourself, but so many of my friends,
young folks especially, have never
had an opportunity to see a genuine
English nai>. One specimen you wili
notice, while it was machine made,
was afterwards headed by hand,
while the other gives a specimen of
the fir»t headed nail ever made b>
machinery.
I presume you are aware the White
House is now in course of repairs.
These nails I gathered myself from
the rubbish pile and can vouch for
their being used in the original con
struction of this building. Some parts
of the removed woodwoik plainly
showed effects of the fire during the
war of 1812, at which time the Brit
ish attempted burning th.s building.
I made an effort to secure a piece of
this charred wood, but was unsuc
cessful.
Kindly furnish me with copy of
your paper of yesterday—8th.
With best wishes to yourself and
Ledger, I am,
Very respect foPy,
Larky D. Snead.

-One of the results of the Southern
Railway acquiring the 8. C. J: G. E.
railroad is the abandonment of the
8. C. & G. E. depot in Gaffney and
concentrating the business of both
roads at the Southern depot. Tims
a business centre 00 Frederick street
has been converted into one of inac
tivity, and the great sacrifice made
by Gaffney to tenure railroad compe
tition has been used to place the city
' more at the mercy of the Southern.

The mayor had a light docket to
