There is an old saying in the huckleberry country that if you wish to fill your vessel you must stick to your bush. This is
an old saying and will apply to other things as well. STICK TO THE BATTERY, where you can get more goods for the
same money and the same gobds for less money. Flat pulses will soon begin to bulge with the money saved on each and
every purchase.

MINING IN CHEROKER.
The ItesHemer Iron Ore Company Working
Near llroad Kiver.
The Bessemer Iron Ore Co. of
Blacksburg now have twenty-five
bands in what is known as mine
No. 2 on the property of the late Col.
John L. Black, on the east side of
Broad river, near the iron bridge in
this county, which they now have con
trol of. While the work is being
done in developing the property the
principal object of it is, to study the
geological condition, and for that pur
pose the work is being done under
the supervision of Mr. L. D. Finn, an
experienced mining engineer and ge
ologist.
The ore in these mines j» gr»y
netic and is A3 fine .’ich as there
iy/u the world; it is (July equaled
by the famous Swedish and Russian
ores and appears to be in almost un
limited quanities. If upon investi
gation this proves to be true, the
company will add a steel plant to
Cherokee’s already numerous indus
trial euterprises.
In this mine a new condition in
geology has appeared. They have
there, the iron ore, which is of course
motalic, and asbestos, a nonmetalic
mineral combined. This is a new prob
lem in geology, and as they have not
been found together before, their
conjoint presence in this mine is in
teresting scientific men, and we learn
a thorough investigation will bo made.
From a reliable source, since the
above was written, we learn that Mr.
Stone, an expert of the industrial de
partment of the Southern Railway,
was at the mines of the Bessemer
company Thursday making investi
gations. A line for a spur from the
Southern to the mines has already
been surveyed, and it is probable
that the object of Mr. Stone’s visit
to the mines includes the building of
this spur.
His report or action incident to
this visit will be awaited with interest.
A Hull Storm ou Hro»(l Kiver.
The weather is still cool and some
report a light frost yesterday morning.
Sunday afternoon there was a heavy
rain and hail storm in the . road river
portion of the county which took in
a strip this side of the river from
Pinckney ferry in the lower part of
the county to State Liue in the upper
portion, and includes most of Chero
kee township, which is east of the
river. There was only a light sprinkle
at Gaffney and we hear of none in the
other parts of the county. Gentle
men from the sections referred to, re
port a very heavy fall of both rain
and hail, and that the hail greatly
damaged the wheat and young fruit
and about used up the young vegeta
bles.
Cheater Vlaitora.
John O. Darby, county supervisor,
and J. M. Caldwell, T. J. Cunning
ham and C. E. Fant, county commis
sioners of Chester county, were in the
city Friday. They went out to see
the county good roads machines
work. They were not talking for
publication white in the city but they
were evidently favorably impressed
with the machines and the way they
worked.
While in the city they were driven
over the city, taking in Limestone
College, the mills and lime works.
They favored The Ledger with a call
and expressed themselves as being
favorably impressed with our baby
county and her capital.
Hied In Hannllml, Mo.
Charles Andrew, the fourth son of
J. D. and M. J. Porter, died Wednes
day night at the home of his parents
in Hannibal, Mo., and was buried in
that city. He was a bright little
fellow, and passed peacefully away
just after his mother bad sung, by
bis request, "When the roil is called
up yonder,” in which he joined.
Mr. and Mrs. Porter are former
residents of this place, and The
Ledger joins many Gaffney friends in
extending sympathy to the bereaved
family. -
Pension Money Here.
Clerk of Court J. Eb. Jefferies re
ceived the warrant from the comp
troller general on Sunday afternoon
for the pension fund for Cherokee
county, amounting to $4,940.70, and
at nine o’clock Monday morning
when the banks opened, every check
had been written out and were ready
for delivery. There are 202 pensioners
in the county divided into the follow
ing classes: Two in class A. who
draw $90 each. Five in class B. who
draw $72 each. Seventeen in class
C. No. 1 who draw $48 each. One
hundred and four in class C. No. 2
who draw $17.35 each ^.’rteeu in
class C. No. 3 .Wio draw $48 evich.
it clats C. No. 4 who dravY-
$17.35 each.
The following instructions were
issued to the clerk of court in refer
ence to the delivery of pension
checks: “The State Pension Board re
quests you not to pay applicant ex
cept in person, and if unable to ap
pear, only on a powor of attorney
signed before proper official.”1
The clerk therefore washes it under
stood that no check will be delivered
unless the applicant appears in per
son or sends a written order signed in
the presence of a witness.
Sunday Service* at Kuford Street.
The attendance was good last Sun
day at both services at Buford Street
M. E. church. At 11 a. m., Mr.
Steadman preached on the “Spirit of
the Holy Ghos ,” and his sermon at
night was a continuation of the same
subject. The lessons to be learned in
his judgment were the necessity if
unity and accord among Christians,
among the individual members of the
church, ana then amongst the differ
ent denominations. Without such
accord and unity there can be no
spiritual life and progress. God’s
promises are not to members, but to
those in accord and in unity, though
they be but two or three, who agree
touching one thing.
There whs a public meeting of the
Epworth League on Sunday after
noon. A splendid programme of reci
tations and music was well rendered.
Mr. Steadman again announced tne
special services to begin the next Sun
day and be protracted the next week.
A cordial invitation was extended to
all the congregations o' the town and
the assurance of the assistance of the
pastors of the other churches has been
given.
Good Koadu Machinery Satlxfactory.
The county commissioners met in
the supervisor’s office. They had
thoroughly inspected and tested the
working of the good roads machinery
and being satisfied the machines were
what they were represented to be,
and that what they thought the
county needed was fully supplied by
them, they put the clincher on
the trade Jor the machines and
they are now the property of Chero-
kup county. And to complete the
outfit they bought a drilling outfit
which will be run by steam and will
enable the road force to keep the ma
chines well supplied with rock.
Home other routine business was
also transacted.
A New Doctor,
Dr. Ben Allen, of Saluda county,
arrived in the city the last of the
week and will practice his profession
here. Dr. Allen received a good por
tion of his education in the high
schools of Gaffney and bis many
friends here, made in his school-boy
days, are glad to have him return
and make his home with us. Success
to him
Give It a Trial.
Just received a fresh lot of “Clif
ton” flour made of native Kentucky
wheat, guaranteed to be the best
flour in the market. Proof of the
flour is in the bread, cake and pastry.
Give “Clifton” a trial and you will
need no argument to convince you.
