Instead of swelling the Coffers of Northern Co-operations tc be used for enslaving the many for the benefit of the few in the Gigan tic Trusts which seek to control the staple necessities of life, or is loaned to tlfe despots of Europe to bind the shackles of slavery tighter upon the limbs of their helpless sul>- lects.

The revers and the extension vest are of white moire stitched with several rows of Corticelli silk; small buttons are set down the center of the vest as well as on the fronts, and clusters of buttons are placed on the shoulder straps and sleeves. The lat ter are quite novel, the fitted under sleeves of moire being completed with cloth overs'eeves flaring at the bottom. The skirt is laid in wide tucks and spreads out into a very full flare at the hem. As the season advances the prefer ence for mixed and fancy suitings becomes more and more distinct and it seems almost as if the latter would in a very short time be used entirely instead of the smooth-finished cloths ; although the cloth is by fur the most dressy in appearance, it is of more compact and closer weave than the mixed suitings and homespuns, which, together with Scotch tweed and covert cloth, are in the lead at present. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Smith and son have gone to Piedmont Springs.

A Plmtimnt Kevetting. On last Friday evening the younger set of Gaffney’s society was most delightfully entertained by one of their charming leaders, Miss Myrtle Gaff ney. The lovely new home can never look more inviting than it did on this happy occasion. About forty guests were present, and the golden moment* of the evening flitted by only too fast. Miss Edith Fort presided at the punch bowl, with her usual charm ing grace. Delightful refreshments were lerved and withal the evening will be ever treasured as one of per fection. A Keturnod MUalomtry to I'r«M(-h. Rev. J. W. Tarboux, a returned missionary from Brazil, will preach in the Buford Street Methodist cnurch next Sunday morning. In the evening at 8:30 o’clock Mr. Tar boux will address the united congre gations of the Buford Street Metho dist, the Presbyterian and the First Baptist churches in the Methodist church. A cordial invitation is ex tended the public to attend these services. A Successful Revival Closed The tf days meeting at Dunton's chapel on East Buford street, of which Rev. R. C Campbell, an earn est and faithful minister, is pastor, closea last Sunday night. The ser vices were largely attended from the beginning to the end. Rev. Camp bell was assisted by Rev. A. Mclver, of Spartanburg; Rev. E Moton, of Newbern, N. C., and Rev. A. Mc- Leese, of Rock Hill, known as the ‘‘Black Sam Jones.” Many white people attended the meeting and seemed to enjoy it. The presiding elder, Rev. R L Hickson, was pres ent to hold his third quarterly con ference and preached a very helpful sermon, and recommended the good work of the pastor and his faithful Hock. He said: “This charge in Gaffney under the pastorate of Rev. R. C. Campbell is at the head of the list of appointments on the Spartan burg district in benevolence for the missionary society.” The financial condition of the meeting was good. Ali the invited ministers were well paid. There were four conversions and seven accessions to the church and the spiritual condition of the church was greatly built up. County TowuHliip AM*e»»meotM. The following table, showing the difference in the assessment of the property in the various townships, was furnished us by Mr. T. M. Little john, chairman of the board of county assessors of Cherokee : I’er Cent. Cherokee Township w ( herokee (No.0) Township li>n Draytonvllie Township 77 7 Go wdysvii I e Township .... 75 White Plains Township 55 5 Morgan Township 54 4 LimestoneTownsh't) 54 44 Limestone (No. Id) Township 45 7 General average for the county ti7 4 The above figures were taken from the county auditor’s books and show a wide difference in the assessed valuation in property in the various townships, and it is the purpose and object of the board of assessors to make the assessments more equal, and they should be assisted in their work. There can be no good reason why one portion of^the county should bear a larger share of the burden of taxation than another. Dinner to Capt. uud Mrn. Sarratt. Dr. and Mrs. Garrett, assisted by Miss Helen Brohawn, of Baltimore, gave a most delightful dinner Mon day night in honor of Capt. and Mrs. E. O. Sarratt. The house was taste fully decorated with palms and other pot plants. The table sparkled with its array of cut glass, while pink and white roses, (this being the colors used) filled the room with their delicate perfume. The cut glass candelabras were shaded with pink covers. The guests present were: Capt. and Mrs. E. O. Sarratt, Mr. and Mrs. Davis Jefferies. Miss Inez Sarratt, Miss Lillian Wood, Miss Myrtle Gaffney, Miss Lillian Hopper, Miss Daisy Hart, Miss Nell Wood, Miss Agnes Littlejohn, Miss Madge Kennedy, Miss Fannie Kennedy and Mr. Fred Stacy T. I., Ilamt-H Dead. The many friends in this city of Mr. T. L. Hames were shocked and pained Wednesday afternoon when his son, Mr. Boyd L. Hames, received a telegram informing him of the sud den death of his father. Mr. Hames was one of the most prominent citizens of Union county and was possessed of all those quali ties which constitute the good citizen and true Christian gentleman. His death will create a vacant place in his county and town that will be hard to fill, and a sorrow in his home and the hearts of his friends that will linger with time. The Ledger joins in this sorrow and extends to the bereaved family its siucerest sympathy. »«<l Mnr« Help. Often the over-taxed organs of di gestion cry out for help by Dyspep sia’s pains, Nausea.
