i I Facts about Medicine. -j f “If yourVinol is such won derful stuff, what’s the need of harping about it so much in the paper? There are twenty medi cine advertised in every sheet, •nd I don’t believe what they I «ay 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 underoup 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 >Iias our absolute guarantee of J money back if you are not helped. We advertise Vinol to in- ^ crease its usefulness. It’s pleasant to take. CHEROKEE DRUGICO DKUGM1HTS' Notice. Hlacksmthi;. S. C . April 7th. 1!io:{. The Town Council of lU-icksbur^. S.

Telephone i*Roadster” on the (farm—A Cow Drowned, flood Roads for Cherokee. (Correspondence of The Ledger.} Editor Ledger:—“Roadster’' is oil of the road now, and is back at home, between the plowbandles. The farmers are getting along nicely now, and if nothing happens, there will be a large crop planted again. We are glad to say that Mr. Rob ert Allison, who has been very low for several weeks, is getting better now. One of our neighbors, Mr. Clyde Huskey, had the misfortune to lose a line milk cow a few days ago. The cow was tied on the bank of the branch, and got the rope wrapped around her hindfoot and a little stump and fell into the stream. The water was up so she strangled to death before an 7 one found it out. We all can’t be any too careful about how we tie our cows. We are certainly glad to see The Ledger and its readers taking so much interest in trying to keep the North Carolina stillhouses ouo of Cherokee county, and the State of South Carolina. I can’t see, for my life, why so many of our good fellow- citizens are working hard to get them into our own settlement. Are we not our “bothers’ Keepers,” and if so, why should we put such things as distil leries in their path for a stumbling block? I don’t want the readers of The Ledger to think that I am a “grumbler,” but, I am opposed to a stillhouse being brought into our township to corrupt the morals of our community; and if all the people could see the evil that such a thing is doing, as I see it, we would not have to say anything against it to stop it. There is being a great deal said now, among the people of our county, about good roads. We are in favor of good roads, and think we will get them in the near future, as our coun ty commissioners and supervisor have gotten the necessary machinery for the work. Some of our people are opposed to their getting all of that machinery for the county, but I thiuk it is the very thing. We have been trying for years to get good roads, and have spent a lot of time and money, and while we have better roads than we once had, they are not what they should be. Nor will they be, until we get our crushing machines in operation, and macadamize them. There is nothing to keep us from having the best roads of any county in this State. I am sure we have as honorable a set of men for our county board as any county in the State, and I know Mr. Whelchel makes as good a supervisor as any man in the county would make, and I think we ought to help them out by being willing to have our taxes a few mills higher in order to do this. I know most of the people are against having taxes a little higher, but what would a mill or two be on our present taxes? Just a few cents to the majority of the tax-payers of this county.’ The rich men would be the ones that would have to pay the most of the taxes. Now, to illustrate this fact: I was going along the road a few days ago,, when I overtook a man on his way home from town with six sacks of guano on his wagon (and it was a new wagon, too). One of the wheels dropped oil into a hole in the road, about knee deep, and broke the axle of bis wagon in two. He was ten miles from home, and about that far from town, and he said he wanted good roids hereafter. Now it cost him as much as three or four dollars to get his wagon repaired, counting his time, too, and his part of the extra tax for good roads would not have been twenty-five cents more. This is just one instance among the many that could be mentioned. Let us all quit grumbling and try to get good roads and prevent the North Carolina still houses from being brought over into our county, and all will be well. Roadster. MUSICAL PROGRAMME. Chicago BaH«l>all Girls. As the twentieth century grows older we find that physical culture has taken a great advance, especially among the fairer sex. We note in these modern times that some of our best athletes are women. The up-to- date girl can ride a bicycle, play ten nis, row a boat, play golf, and in fact, there is no outdoor sport in these advancing times that the fair madams of this glorious universe cannot accomplish. A great many people will say it is an error in men tioning the fact that women can play ail outdoor sports. There is our great national game, for instance; how many people will say they never saw a woman who could play base ball? To those people who doubt young ladies can play baseball, we wish to state that we were at one time under the same impression. The Chicago Stars, the Champion Ladies’ Baseball wiub of the World, play a remarkable game of ball, and those people that doubt ladies can play ball, should not fail to wit ness the game of ball on Friday, April 17th, when the famous Chicago Stars will play one of the most in teresting and exciting games ever witnessed in Gaffney with the local team. The grounds will be situated at Jefferies’ baseball park. Mityor’s Coart. His Honor had several Saturday and Sunday offenders before him yes terday.

Mention was made in these columns some time ago of a big cotton deal wherein Mr. J. I. Sarratt, of this place, had sold the Cliffsides Mills 125 bales. Last Wednesday Mr. Sarratt de livered forty-five bales of this cotton. It took twelve wagons to haul it. Mr. Sarratt is one of the most pro gressive business men of Gaffney. Besides his big mercantile business here he has a store at Goforths, and also at Earls, N.C. He has bought the J. A. Thomason old stand at the latter place. It had a good size store house on it, but he has built a ware house the same size us that behind his store in this city and keeps it well stocked with general merchandise. In addition to the above enterprises he successfully operates a seventeen horse farm, and all this Business keeps John prettv well occupied. Ntitiomtl Good Komis Convention. The National Good Roads Conven tion meets iu St. Louis the last of this month and delegates to it have been appointed by Governor Hey wood from all the Congressional districts in this State.
