* J The; I^kdoick. PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. BY Ed. H. DeCaMP. NOTES AND COMMENTS. An exibition of our county products next year need not be attended with great expense. Let our farmers noeet and lay the plan. They know how to make them work and all will be as tonished next fall to see what Chero kee can do. ♦ ♦♦♦ Our people may now prepare for some practical lessons on the neces sity of good roads. Winter Is upon us and no season of the year brings this fact so close home. Every time your wagon or buggy gets in the rut or mud-hole remember that the only remedy is better roads. The union revial meeting has come to a close. There is no calculating the good it has accomplished. No doubt the impressions made on the minds of those who attended will last as long as life itself. Dr. Broughton is engaged in a noble work and surely his reward will be great. The most valuable citizens in a community are those who do some thing. The fellows who loaf half their time and spend what little they do make at the dispensary or with the blind tiger are of no value to any community. We have mighty little patience and no respect at all for a loafer. They are generally in the way of those who want to do some thing. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A number of the eastern counties of the State, actuated by the appeals and assistance of the News and Cour ier twentyjyears ago, are making for tunes raising tobacco. Other sec tions of the State have been success fully experimenting with it, and now we see that Laurens county will try it next year. Laurens is one of the best farming counties in the State and her farmers have always been leaders in their profession, and they will suc ceed with tobacco. Cherokee is an up-to-date county in all lines of pro gress and judging from the success of her farmers in the old beaten ways we feel sure that they can grow to bacco successfully and profitably. Who will try it in 1903. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mr. /. H. Tate, of Mississippi, is in this county visiting relatives. Mr. Tate called at The Ledger office the other day and asked to see the man who was always booming GalTney and Cherokee. After being introduced he took occasion to say that the editor of his county paper had given up the task of booming his county in dis gust, saying that he was tired of lying for the benefit of others, espe- cia'ly when others did not show their appreciation of his lying. Perhaps it does sound a little like bragging too much when one away from Gaffney reads The Ledger, but we wish to assure Mr. Tate and all others who may be skeptical about progressive Gaffney that we never make a state ment about the growtb of this town and county that is not strictly true. Every man employed on this news paper has positive instructions to te l the truth at all times, and not to exaggerate in the least, and to never say that anything is going to be done until the plans are perfected and the project is assured. It is a pleasure for us to chronicle the growth of Gaff ney but we have no desire to do so at the expense of truth. There is quite a difference in booming a town and county when they possess something to boom than in trying to boom it when it is as dead as a door nail. The mistake that many county news papers make is taking too much for granted. Just at this time we are in possession of information of two en terprises that are on foot in this county that mean much for its de- velopement, but the plans are not yet complete and we cannot give de tails. To do so would be a breech of trust. Besides, these plans may not mature. In that case we would be untruthfully booming things. This we prefer not to do. You may rest assured that anything you see in The Ledger is absolutely true. opening of the sale will be filed in the order of their receipt. Free list will positively be suspended for this engagement. Showing Her Faith. A little seven year old who had been attending the Broughton meet ings very regularly was much dis tressed at the anxiety of her mother on Thanksgiving day because of the delay of the old colored Mammy in not turning up with the turkey at the proper time. It seems that mother bad given the turkey to the cook the day before to take home with her for the purpose of prepar ing it for the oven and she was some what late in arriving with it, therefore mother was terribly distressed, be cause she had invited company to be present and partake of the turkey. Noticing mother’s distress the little one crept off into a corner and began to pray for the cook to come. She had just finished her devotion and said to her mother: ‘'Mamma, don’t worry, I’s prayed to God for Aunt Katy to come with the turkey and I know she’ll come, for God always answers prayer.” About that time they looked out the door and sure enough Aunt Katy was approaching the home with the turkey all ready for the oven. Thus the prayer of the faithful little tot was answered. We Need a New Depot. With the change of agents at the Southern depot a change of depots would be a creditable move. That thirty-year-old board building is no longer the thing, right In the center of an up-to-date and progressive city like Gaffney. We hope our business men will move in the matter, and try to induce the Southern people to build a new depot that is commen surate with the character and volume of business done here. Special Announcement. On Saturday, Dec. 13th, the dis tinguished actress, Mrs .LeMoyne, will be seen in this city at the Star Theatre in her latest successful com edy, ‘‘Among Those Present.” This promises to be the most notable event of the present theatrical sea son. Sale of seats will commence on Friday, Dec. 12tb. Prices f>0 cents to $1 50. On account of the interest manifiested In Mrs. LeMoyne’s ap pearance, and the large number of inquiries already made at the box office, it has been decided that appli cations for seats sent in before the DUpeuanry In New Ouarterg. The dispensary has been moved and the place on Granard street that has enjoyed its grSat moral influen ces! for so long will enjoy them no more. This great centre of State beneficence has been transferred to the new Curry building on Limestone street, where old fashion jugs are on tap and will be disposed of to old fash ion and new fashion “jaggers” under State supervision. Thankg Offering. At the union Thanksgiving service at the Star Theatre Thursday a thanks offering of $140 was given, which has been equally divided be tween the Connie Maxwell orphanage at Greenwood, the Thornwell orphan age at Clinton and the Epworth or phanage at Columbia " PISO'S CURE FOR n> , CURES WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS. | Best CuuKh Syrup.

There are twenty medi cines advertised in every sheet, and I don’t believe what they say about any of them.” Such was a remark heard in the store. We answer: We advertise Vinol because we have found It a good thing for cough, lung troubles, insomnia, weak women and children, old people and run-down folks. We advertise Vinol under our own name, and with our own guarantee because it is different from the twenty medicines our friend alluded to. For instance* it is not a secret preparation. It is endorsed by physicians. It has a surprising record of cures right here in town. It has our absolute guarantee of money back if you are not helped. We advertise Vinol to in crease its usefulness. It’s pleasant to take. Mail Orders Supplied. Eipress Paid.
