NOTKS AND COMMENTS.
The chief of police of Atlanta has
given notice that no allowance will
be made for disorderly conduct on the
streets of his city this Christmas.
Hold the reins tight and let citizens
and visitors know that good order is
as important in Gaffney during the
holidays as at any other time.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
We trust that the city authorities
will make no allowances for boister
ous conduct in Gaffney this Christ
mas. The day for that is past—too
many people here now.
♦ ♦ ♦ -•
The press and the school teacher
should lock arms and walk hand in
hand. The mission of both should
be to accomplish something toward
the betterment of mankind. The
teacher or the editor who is in
the business from a purely mercenary
standpoint does not deserve to suc
ceed from that standpoint and cer
tainly will be a failure from any
other standpoint. It shuold be the
ambition of every parent to give their
child an education, to mate the best
possible man or woman out of that
child, but if the educator allows
greed to be his or her predominating
infiaence it is impossible to get th«
best results out of the pupil. So
with an editor. If he allows his
desire to make money predominate he
must of necessity neglect the essen
tial to give his readers what is best
for them, consequently he feeds them
on whatever he thinks will cause
them to buy the paper, whether it be
wholesome or not. What our country
needs is a class of teachers who are
imbued with enthusiasm concerning ,
their work and a class of editors who
will tell the truth for truth’s sake,
regardless of the consequences of
whom it may effect—even if it effect
himself.
The Ledger extends to all, friend
and foe, its best wishes for a merry
Christmas and a happy New \ear.
During the past year the caper has
had its trials and reverses as well as
its joys and successes, but everything
taken into consideration it has no
thing to complain of and much for
which to be joyful. We look for
ward to the new year anticipating
that we will have to work hard to
accomplish something, but we do so
with a hope that our efforts will meet
a responsive chord in the hearts of
our patrons. We have not done as
much as we desired during the past
year and neither have we been quite
so good as we should have been, but
we trust old Santa Clause will for
give us for our shortcomings and fill
our stocking to overflowing with an
ambition to accomplish something.
We wish especially to thank our out-
of-town .friends for their support.
Blacksburg, Cherokee Falls, Kings
Creek, Cowpens and Grover, have all
been wondrous kind to us, and we
appreciate it. At every postoffice in
the county The Ledger has many
warm friends and we appreciate them,
one and all. To everybody we ex
tend good will and trust that the new
year will prove even more prosperous
than the one about to close To the
merchants and business men who
have stood by us and bestowed upon
us their support we feel grateful
Our ambition has been to render a
faithful service, to give every man
the worth of the money they spend
with us and to have them feel that a
dollar invested at this office, whether
it be for subscriptiou. advertising or
or job printing is a dollar legetl
mately and wisly invested. With re
grets that we have not been able to
give you a better service than we
have in the past, with a hope to do
better in the future with a feeling of
pride for our town, our country, our
State and our nation, we again wish
for you, one and all, a joyous Christ
mas and a prosperous New Year.

SONG TOUCHED HIS HEAI
For the everyday street or tailor
suit the same materials which have
served so well in the past, such as
cloth, serge, vicuna and cheviot, will
all again be worn this year. And for
entire gowns, and in many cases for
skirt and coat su^s, camel’s hair and
zibeline will be used, these two ma
terials being specially nice for better
gowns for the afternoon, as they lend
themselves easily to the more fanci
ful ways of trimming; then, too, they
are so light and supple in texture
that they may be gracefully manipu
lated in the various flab models of
skirts and jackets.

What Congreitsmaii Finley Thonghti °f
Judge Lanham’n Music
[From the Washington 1’ost.li
Mr. Finley, of South Caroli
frankly admits that he cannot for tA 110
life of him tell one note r»< inusy c
from another. Therein he has a jo» e
upon his Democratic colleague, Judg
Lanham, of Texas, soon to be gover
or of the Lone Star State.
Neither of these estimable Demcl'
crats brought his family to Washin
ton this winter and both have had
lonesome existence at their hotel.
“Come up in the parlor,” sai
Judge Lauham, who plays the plan
and sings well, to the South Carotin
ian, a few evenings since; “I will ren
der a selection for you.”
The Judge seated himself at the 1
)iano and interpreted in soulful man
ner “Home, Sweet Home.”
Finley remained all attention till
l;he last note sounded forth and the
Texan turned to him wiih face expres
sive of the beautiful sentiment of that
grand old tune.
Judge,” exclaimed Finley, desir-
: ng to be polite and complimentary
to one who had performed so efficient-
y for his amusement, “when you
Mayed the first chord I saw the elm
trees in front of my house at York-
vilie. When you had clayed a little
more I saw the front door open and
the faces of my three children appear,
and then your tuneful rendering made
me hear from those dear little ones
the words:
“Hi, daddy, there you are.”
Making Both Ku-Js Meet.
[New Orleans Times-Democrat. |
A certain colonel in the South was
in the habit of telling yarns and great-
y exaggerating. He had a negro ser
vant who corroborated everything his
master told. One day the colonel had
some gentlemen to dinner, and they
were enjoying some fine young vension
very much. The colonel said: “Yes,
went hunting the other day and saw
a fine buck. I took a good sight at
lim and shot him through the head,
and the bullet went through his hind
eg.”
The gentlemen looked at each oilier
a little mystified. The negro scratched
lis head, and at last said : “Yes, in
deed. gemmen, just as massa raised
lis gun to shoot de buck he raiso his
lind leg and scratch his ear. and the
lullet went through his head and
right through the de htod mg.”
The gentlemen looked in ire satis-
:ied. After the guests had left the
negro said to his master, “Gorry
mighty, massa, next time you tell
one of dem yarns do g*-t Urn ends
closer togedder. I had hard work to
make both ends meet.”
The.e are but few persons who are
unacquainted with “Peck’s Bad Boy.”
Those who have not seen him person
ally have no doubt lead the book. As
presented at the Star Theatre on n*-xt
Monday night, there will be many
improvements, new jokes and origitia
pranks. It is a musical farce comedy
that has no equal as a producer of fun
and fun only.

justify such an adjustment of our.
school system that every child mayi
begin with the alphabet of his primer
to learn also some of the easy and
productive uses for which the Creator
gave him bis eyes and ears, his hands-
and feet. By instructing him in the
use of these natural ’implements oi*

OIL FOR STREET SURFACES.

A oorrospoudent contributes the fol
lowing to the Bakersfield Californian:
Among the many advantages arising
from the use of oil in the manifold
way * in which it is being made to con
tribute to the welfare of the people of
the state l have never yet seen includ
ed what, from one standpoint, may be
considered the most important of all.
I refer to the increased healthfulness
that is certain to be observed in those
communities where oil is used as a
dressing for street surfaces.
The street has always been and, but
for crude petroleum, would always re
main.a thickly settled place which col
lects the dirt, the filth and the disease
germ, only to turn them back into the
atmosphere bearing more of poison and
danger than when first deposited, with
the result that humanity, cooped up in
towns and cities, has had to struggle
for life, inhaling air which is charged
every breath of it with illness and
death.
An important change is alxmt to be
brought about in this regard unwit
tingly and entirely without design by
the discovery that crude oil will lay

tively than any other means. The

New Dodge lu Street Begging.
Ideas count for success, even in street
begging. Old tricks become tiresome
through familiarity. The mendicant of
the present day, if he would live well,
must get something new.' One of the
latest dodges of the New York solicitor
of aims is heroic. It first arouses the
indignation of the victim, then pacifies
him and finally wins his sympathy and
his money. It is worked In this way:
A shabbily attired man hurries along
the street, apparently unconscious of
his surroundings. He expectorates, as
though hy chance, on to the well pol
ished shoe of a passerby. Before the
man has time .to protest the mendicant
drof/s on his knees and, with the rem
nants of a well worn handkerchief,
rubs away at the soiled shoe, mean
while pouring forth profuse apologies.

The railroad from Damascus to Mec

of Turkey, will be a great convenience
to many thousands of pilgrims in the
Turkish empire and Persia. The rail
road will be welcomed by all Moham

grims to visit both Mecca and Medina,
one the birthplace and the other the
burial place of Mohammed.'
