NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Scriptures teach that it is not
good for man to live alone, but there
are a few old bachelors in this town
who evicently
Scriptures.
don’t believe the
a good time in general. If the rail
road commission was worth a hurrah
in hades it would do something to
equalize freight rates, prevent rail
road companies from operating over
rotten trestles, and compel them to
adopt some method to minimize the
risk of a passenger losing his life
every time he boards the train. If
the officers have no power, the office
of railroad commissioner is a sham
and it should be abolished.
To be faithful to friendship is the
noblest attribute of mankind. To
prove yourself an ingrate stamps
you as a remorseless coward. Strive
therefore to be true to those who are
true to you.

Gaffney is moving right along.
New buildings are going up on every
side tnercbanrs are preparing for a
big fall trade, and the indications
are tnat at the end of this year it
will be found that we have made
greater strides than during any year,
so far in the history of the town.
It begins to look like war in the
East. Our local military company
need feel no alarm, however, as
Uncle Sara is not interested in the

but Capt. Harley would most likely
parley, before he’d consent for his

President Roosevelt made a labor
speech at Syracuse, N. Y., last Mon
day. His address was of the stren
uous nature, pr'-Hy to listen to, but
difficult to adopt, and contained a
deal of buncombe. It’s easy to talk,
but it’s quite another tiling to set
the example of thrift and industry, j
Our president has a good deal of
clap trap in his innke up.
We have a mighty little admira
tion for the fellow who is always
whining about hard times. Ihere is
no excuse for it now. If your judg

you have undertaken too much, just

A story is going the rounds that on

CROP BULLETIN.
Itaport of Condition of Different Croj*.
Throughout the StHte.
Columbia, 8. C , Sept. 8,—The
week ending 8 a. m., Monday, Sept
7th, had a m^an temperature of 77
degrees, which is 1 degree below
normal, due to low day temperature
during the first three days. The 1
closing days had temperatures above
normal. With the exceptions of lo
cal high winds inFlorence. Darlington
and Chesterfield counties,accompany
ing thunderstorms, the winds were
generally light, and mostly from an
easterly direction. Cloudy weather
prevailed during the first half, and j
bright sunshine during the last half.
During the closing days of the
orevimswetk and the first days of
the present, showers were numerous,
and in places heavy over the east
ern and central counties, but there
was practically no rain over the !
western counties, and there are al«o
sections in the central and eastern
ones that had no beneficial amounts. :
The absence of rain had a deteriora
ting effect, and the need of rain is
urgent over the larger part rf the
State. A few places reported exces
sive precipitation, and some reported
haii.
The dry weather injured young
corn materially, and it is no longer
in promising condition except on
moist bottom lands. Much fodder
was saved in fine condition.
A few reports indicate a slight im
provement in cotton, but the ma-!
ijority indicate continued, and in
places marked deterioration, due to
rusf and shedding. In places cotton
is dying. Sharp-shooters were noted
in Marlboro County. In the west
ern and central counties cotton is
suffering for rain. In a few localities,
in the eastern counties, it was dam
aged by excessive precipitation Cot
ton is opening rapidly, some prema
turely, in the eastern an 1 central
counties where picking is general;
in the western counties cotton is be
ginning to open, but picking has
bcaroely begun, and the season con-
| tinues from two to three weeks late.
Sea-island cotton improved.
Much pea-vine and other hay was
gathered in prime condition Drought
has injured the prospects for a large
hay crop in the western parts. Rice
harvest is underway ; yields are good
in Beaufort, but are poor in Colleton
rountv. Turnip sowing is not fin
ished, stands are poor. Rain is
needed for all minor crops in the
western counties. Fall truck plant
ing continues along the coast.

On 8eptemo» r G'h, Gold Leaf Lodge
No. *1, Flint Hill Society, hud the
annual sermon preached by Rev. S.
S. Watson ; text Genesis, 1st Chap,
and 3rd verse, * And God said, let
there be light.”
The Gold Leaf members turned in
full regalia. The men wore white pants
and white gloves and black coats,and
the ladiea wtre dressed in dark, black
waists and white skirts and white
gloves with blue ribbon around waist
and neck, and white sailors with biue
ribbon around the crown.
The march was from R. O. Corry’t
down i’etty street and out East Fred
eriek street to A M. E Zion courch.
There was a large numhtr of people
present. “These leaves are good fo*’
the healing of the nation ” Read
Revelation, 22nd chapter and 2nd
vtrse. We take apart of Scripture
in ours, that you may know that, wt
are on the right road to wealth.
You all know how the negro is
about bis eating We had plenty of
good rations, for Blacksburg, Shoal
Creek and Earls Station, and our sis
ters took up about twelve baskets of
fragments.
The negro race is afraid of joining
a society of any kind. They think
that some one is going to take their
little money and go “w-a-y off,” as
they call it.
I wish I could get our race to quit
being jealous of one another. If tney
would come together and unite them
selves they wou ! d be somebody.
Just look at our white people. Nearly
all of them belong to some order Let
the negro come together and unite
and be somebody, aud be more loving
and quiet. Come and join the Gold

known to their trustees, and we can ar

speakers to the extent of paying all
traveling expenses. Now let us have a
general educational revival as far and as
much as we can. The children need it,
the county needs it, and i.t is our duty to
assist in anyth.ng that will help our
youth. Everyone should be, I believe,
interested in this matter. I will get the
very best practical speakers available—
preferring local talent. Let rue hear
from any district wanting such aid, es
pecially tlie large school districts—Nos.

am sure a few meetings like this will be
of great benefit to the entire people.

WORK ON THE SOUTHERN.
Double Work Nearly Completed Superin
tendent of ltrlUgeM Here.
(Spartanburg .Journal.]
The double tracking of the South
ern Railway from the junction to the
passenger depot has been nearly com
pleted. The work has been stopped
for a few days because of the scarcity
of material. When the needed mate
rial arrives it will be fir ished and
ready for use in a short while.
The entire line has been graded for
| the extra track and the rails have
been laid from the junction down
near the Brawley street crossing. The
delay seems to have been caused by
the lack of girders for the trestle
across Brawley street and for rails
from there to the depot. The bridge
work,excepting the iron work,has also
been completed. It is probable that
the new track will bo ready for use in
the next few weeks.
D W. Lum, sup'-irintendent of
bridges for the Southern, was in the
city in his private car this morning
looking over the work on the new tres
tle across Lawson’s Fork. A hand
some steel structure is gradually tak
ing the place there of the temporary
structure which has been in use since
the flood. Several spans of the steel
work have air , ~ b»en placed.
From what :ouid oe learned Super
intendent Lum was well pleased with
the progress that has been made in
the work. The trains are yet required
to pass over the trestle verv slowly.
Superintendent Lu:u came to this
section principally to inspect the tres
tle at Fishing Orsek where the wreck
occurred a few days ago
He is reported us having accounted
for the accident by saying that an in
spection of the engine wheels showed
that a flange hud broken and thrown
the train from the trestle, carrying
the bridge down with it, as is other
wise evident from the “bunching” of
the ties at that point of the bridge
where the engine went over; that ac
cording to a recent examination o
could get to come to Gaffney and we the bridge the structure was s’rong

weighed only some 55,000 pounds.
It strikes us that the office of rail
road commissioner in this State is a
sinecure for a few politicians. They
don’t do a thing but draw their salar
ies. The railroads are allowed to do
as they please and they please to
“do” everybody they can. If the
railroad commission is worth nothing
let it be abolished. We see no sense
nor justice in paying people to sit
around and “ebaw” tobacco, smoke
cigars, drink good “licker” and bare

The regular fall examination for all
teachers will be held at the Court House
on [Friday.’September l8tb. There will

friction between the teacher and the
