MAKE GLAD SOME HEART.
One week from day after tomorrow
is the anniversary of tba birth of the
Nazarene. Joy and gladness will
fill the hearts of millions. Peace and
prosperity has reign -d over us as a
nation. On every hand is to be ob
served the manifestation of the Cre
ator’s goodness to mankind as He
deals out with a lavish hand the good
things from His great storehouse of
supplies. What a wondrous world
and age we live in! What are you
doing to give evidence of your appre
ciation of His goodness? Are you
making an effort to make some heart
happy? Remember “the poor whom
you have with you always.” Do
something during this festive Christ
mas time to make glad the heart of
some poor unfortunate with whom
fate has not dealt kindly or whR>, per
haps, has not even been kind to him
self or herself. Give a helping band,
speak a kind word, bestow a gentle
smile. If you would have your heart
be filled with gladness you must make
glad the heart of someone.
Two little tots were writing to dear
old Santa Claus the other day and
after asking the dear old saint for
almost everything under the sun,
they added: ‘‘And please bring all
the little poor children something.”
Such thoughtfulness on the part of
the little ones is to be commended to
the grown people. Do something to
indicate your appreciation of what
has been done for you.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Beware of a philosophy or a reli
gion that answers all questions and
solves all riddles.
The president will now devote him
self to the business of rounding up
the colored voters of the South.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Senator Frye says there will be no
tariff revision and Mr. Hanna an
nounces his opposition to trust legis
lation.
♦ ♦♦ ♦
A Michigan court has allowed
alimony to a husband in a divorce
case. What is sauce for the goose
may be salve for the gander.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The I^ilywhites ihink the president
should cease hunting buack bears
and confine his attention to the white
variety or at least to cinnamons.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The republican party is lining up
for its grand stand play at downing
the trusts. As a result we expect
the trusts to have more down in their
nests.
Those who complain that turkeys,
pumpkin pie and cranberry sauce do
not taste as they did years ago, should
remember that there are a few penal
ties for being older than twenty-
seven.
» ♦ ♦ ♦
The Ledger will be issued but one
day during Christmas week. On
Tuesday we will give our readers an
eight page paper. Tuesday night we
intend to lock up the office, discharge
the devil and the balance of the force,
get a Slice of cake from our Baker,
turn the Me out of our Hopper, cut
our Hamdk loose from the harness,
put on our Darby, throw the key
away, turn our Briggs to the breeze
and DeCamp to a Burgess in North
* Caroline where we will feast or Par
ris for a few days and then return to
hear the lamenting of Flaw Picker.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
There has been a good deal of dis
cussion in Gaffney lately in regard to
the theatre, and as a consequence of
the Broughton meeting there has
been a considerable curtailment^ of
the patronage. We would like to In
quire which is the better for the com
munity, to patronize first-class dra
matic art or the vaudeville? Certain
it is that the theatre is to continue
and if it cannot be made profitable
for good shows to come here It may
force them to give way to the poorer
class that appeal to the baser ele
ment. For our part we do not think
that the best is any too good for Gaff
ney and we would dislike very much
to see a decline in the class of attrac
tions now being brought here, but
w
we cannot expect the best shows to
continue to come here and play to
losing business. There was a decided
improvement in the attendance Sat
urday night over that of the minstrels,
and the management have one more
first-class attraction booked for next
Saturday night. It remains to be
seen what is done then. If Gaffney
will not patronize good shows they
will not be brought here, but it will
more than likely be seen whether or
not the people will patronize the
poorer kind.
A GOOD MAN CONE.
Rev. T. J. Campbell Died at HU Home Near
the City Sunday.
It is our unpleasant duty to record
the death of Rev. T. J. Campbell,
which occured at his home a few
miles west of Gaffney on the 14th
inst., after a slight illness of only a
few days which had not confined him
to bis bed all the time.
Mr. Campbell was born in Amherst
county, Virginia, on Nov. 15tb, 1821,
and was a son of Geo. W. and Lucy
H. Campbell, who were the parents
of twenty-three children. He was
the father of nine children of whom
six, four sons and two daughters, sur
vive him. His wife, who was a Miss
Simmons, preceded him to the grave
five years ago. He bad been a mem
ber of the Baptist church for sixty
years and was a minister many years,
and served his Savior sod church
faithfully. He was a man of strong
convictions, was well informed and
expressed himself fearlessly, always
manifesting bis undoubted courage
and integrity. He was a tailor by
trade, but bad for many years been
quietly living on his farm and con
ducting it successfully.
When the war bet'ween the States
begun be bad been living in South
Carolina since his young manhood.
He at once voluteered in defence of
States rights in the 5th South Caro
lina Cavalry, and went into the fray
with fervor and fought the battles of
his country with a heroism and devo
tion that made him the admired of
bis no less heroic comrades, and to
show that he never recanted and that
he, to the last, believed in the just
ness of his cause, one of bis last re
quests was that he be buried by bis
comrades who fought with him in
the Confederate armies. His request
was granted. Seven or eight of them
got together and with feeble and
bent forms, with heavy but loving
hearts and trembling bands, laid
their beloved brother and friend in
his last earthly resting place in the
family lot in Oakland cemetery at 1:30
p. m. yesterday in the presehce of bis
devoted childrt-n and many sorrowing
friends. At the lime of his death he
was chaplain of Jake Carpenter Camp
U. C. Veterans.
A short service was cunducted by
Rev. G. M. Hamrick at the grave.
Mr. Campbell was eighty-one years
and twenty nine days a old and died
honored and respected by ail.

Attempted Suicide.
A Mr. Robertson, formerly of York
county, now of this city, took mor-
pbine Friday night with suicidal In
tent, but timely assistance saved his
life. We have heard of the supposed
causes but we do not know the facts.
We do know that Mr. Robertson is a

BRICK! BRICK!
BRICK!
A brick is a brick; yes, but what a
difference in them. Good clay, good
machinery, up-to-date methods, in fact
a thousand details, are a necessity to
produce the best brick. We have our
plant fully equipped for a capacity of
15,000,000—not only that, hut have a
body of the finest river clay ever located
in this country. Our plant is on the
Catawba river near Fort Mill, S. C., and
shipping station, Grattan, S. C.
“A man is a man for a’ that,” hut
what a difference in ’e n. You require
the best lumber for your house; the best
coal for your engine; the best flour for
your table. One does not buy a common
horse when he can get a much better for
the same price. This is true about
everything one needs.
In a building nothing is more essential
than good material. It adds to the
safety and wear, beides ’twill sell for
more. Who would not pay more for a
building put up out of first quality mate
rial than for one thrown together out of
common ordinary brick ?
I/d us correspond with you. Prompt
service in shipments.
