Howell’s Crystal Palace Glass
Blowers, comprising a company o
ladies and gentlemen, have received
permission to open in theS.M. Little
john building next to the dispensary
today and will remain the balance of
the week. They are the only com
pany of glass blowers traveling and
the only exhibition of its kind in
this country. They employ skilled
mechanics and come here highly re
commended by our exehanges. They
take glass and melt it till it becomes
soft as molasses, and without the aid
of tools or designs, make such ar
ticles as deer, ships, globes, decan
ters, vases, etc. They spin glass at
the rate of 1000 yards per minute on
a large wheel and ohow how glass
dresses, pin cushions and neckties
are made. It is one of the most in
teresting and instructive exhibitions
ever seen here and no doubt they
will be largely patronized by our peo
ple during their stay here. A feature
of the exhibition is that no article
they make can be bought, no matter
how large or costly They give every
thing they make to the patrons free
of charge.
Of their exhibition the Asheville
Gazette says:
“To say thattbe Howell GlassBlow-
ers who opened here last night in
their large pavilion on Park square
pleased the people would hardly givt
them justice. But they carried out
every promise to the letter—not as
performers on merry-makers, but as
instructors and scientific workers.
One could hardly realize what ar
ticles can be made from that hard,
brittle substance—glass, and the
articles they gave free to their many
patrons were such that could not De
bought for money. Last night they
were packed to the capacity of their
tent, and quite noticeable among the
large crowd were some of the first
families of our city. Commencing
this afternoon there will be given two
introductions daily—afternoon at 2
o’clock and at night at 7 until 9:30
Their admission, only 10 cents,
and every visitor receiving a glass
present free,.they should be largely
patronized.”
MR. CREE RESIGNS
To Accept PaHtorate of Baptist Church In
Louisville, Ky.
At the morning service at the First
Baptist church Sunday, Rev. A. C.
Cree announced that he would resign
the pastorate of that church.to take
effect December 31st, next. He
stated that he had no desire to leave
Gaffney, and if he consulted his own
feelings he would not do so. That
the call to the Louisville church re
cently extended to him, is the ninth
opportunity he has bad to go to other
churches since he came to Gaffney
and that a sense of duty impelled
him to accept this last call.
At the evening service the church
went into conference and accepted
Mr. Cree’s resignation with regrets.
On motion of Prof. R. 0. Sams, ap
propriate resolutions were unani
mously adopted expressing the keen
sense of regret of the church at having
to give Mr. Cree up as pastor and ex
tending to him the hearty good will
aod wishes of the church.
A committee of seven was elected
for the purpose of securing a new
pastor, consisting of R. 0. Same, S.
B. Crawley, W. J. Wilkins, H. K.
Osborne, W. C. Hamrick, Mrs. Edna
Harris and C. T. Lipscomb.

Stomach Trouble Cauaeii Heart Trouble.
Heart trouble is almost always
caused by stomach trouble. The
stomach fails to digest ail the food,
and the residue ferments, forming ex
cess of gas, distends the‘walls of the
stomach, causing a pressure on the
nerves and arteries that lead to the
heart. This causes the heart to pal
pitate or skip a beat occasionally, or
both, which is usually very alarming,
causing grave apprehensions. Ry-
dales Stomach Tablets will prevent
this trouble. They digest the food
and prevent gass from forming in
the stomach. If there is no gas in
your stomach your heart will not
trouble you.—Gaffney Drug Co.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
, Etta Jane, Oct 30.—Your corres
pondent went to Gaffney this week
and took in the town generally,includ
ing even the dispensary. The mer
chants seemed to be doing a
thriving business. People of both
sexes from all parts
were there and
business—either something to sell
or something to buy, or perhaps
both. The dispensary so far as we
could see had the lightest trade of
any business house in town—would
that it remain so. For the few min
utes we were inside its walls it had a
very poor lot of customers—only one
of our cousins came in. We knew
his face but couldn’t call his name
A dispensary or beer room is a very
poor place to makeup acquaintances,
we find; so as if by mutual consent,
we let each other pass. Mr. Sam
Littlejohn, who is clerking there
since the death of Mr. Jones, was
kept busy watching. Contractor
Baker with his corps of workmen
building houses, and the scores
of industrious Cherokeeans pas
sing the street, each iu pursuit
of his or her own , legitimate
business. We don't know a city or
town in which such thrift and enter
prise are shown as Gaffney, and, taken
as a whole, where a better class of
people live or from time to time come
in from the country for the transac
tion of their business affairs. The
men or women there who have no
legitimate work to do are those who
don’t want it and won’t have it. A
majority of the dry goods houses we
visited employ lady clerks and they
are fully equal to, if not superior to
the men for business.
The removal of the old alliance
warehouse and hardware store room
from near the railroad crossing and
the building of such magnificent
brick stores as that now owned and
occupied by the Smith Hardware Co
is a very marked improvement in that
portion of the town.
Another feature of the town which
commends itself to public esteem, is
the absence of chronic loafers about
the streets or places of business.
Mayor Little has made a specialty o
this class of offenders, much to the
ert’it of his administratioo as wel
as the comfort and convenience o
the grateful public.
Quite a number of new buildings
are going up. This makes the town
look city-like.
The Cherokee Drug Company’s new
store is a beauty and adds much to
the appearance of Limeotone street.
Of one thing we are impressed—
the power of printer’s ink to draw
trade. That those who advertise most
get the most trade, there can be no
dispute. Every line of advertising
matter is read by somebody and it
catches its game sooner or later.
We have no interest in making this
assertion further than to prove a well
established theory.
We have read with much interest
the article from Col. T. Larry Gantt,
on “The stain of human blood.”
Only those who know the power of
his brain and pen can fully appre
ciate what he says on this most im
portant subject. He citos quite a
number of prominent cases of homi
cide in which every one of them
worked ruin to the slayer—who was
left in worse condition botn in mind
and body (to say nothing of soul)
than was his victim.
Col. Gantt says: “I had sooner go
to my grave the victim of another,
than spend my days on earth with
hands dripping with the life-blood of
any one created in God’s own image.”
Life is sweet, but it is anything but
sweet to be a red-banded murderer.

evening. His hand was pretty badly

To show the loyalty of Cherokee
county farmers to their county cap
ital, They sold 365 bales of coctou
here Saturday for 10 cents per
pound when Spartanburg was paying
10^ and other near by places were
reported to be paying even more than
that.
The case against Jenkins, who is
operating a distillery in Cherokee
township, as stated, within less than
two miles of Antioch church, came
before Magistrate Speer again Friday.
The defendant waived a preliminary
hearing and gave bond for his apear-
ance at court. We learn that an ap
plication will be made to the booze
bosses in Columbia to have the dis
tillery shut down until the case is
decided in court.
Saturday was a red letter day in
Gaffney. There have been few days
on which a larger number of people
have been here, and they were our
county people, all in on business and
they attended to*their business in a
quiet, orderly way and went home
when they finished it. They sold 365
bales of cotton, bad plenty of money,
paid debts and bought goods liberally,
but they carried the biggest part of
$20,000 home with them.
Wm. H. Mercer, of this city, who
has been mining in Arizona for

great mineral wealth of Cherokee

stolen, about $900 of which belonged
to the store. $100 to the town, and
$110 to the postoffice. Tools were se

There are men that write about
good roads; some fellow recommended
grease for good roads. I don’t think
there is enough grease in Cherokee to
grease a half-mile of road since the
Hood, and there is no grease needed
on the road only to greaF3 that eter
nal great big machine. I have heard
so much about it, but 1 have never
seen it yet, nor never will, unless I
go to see it, as they tell • ' has
uni v traveled a little over . .t:ile
oince it has been over
Some of these fellows tell big war
tales. I remember some time back
that some fellow you call “Colonel”
surrounded and captured a whole
regiment of Yaiks at Perry ville, Ky.
I was there myself and never heard
of it uutil I saw it in The Ledger.
It was a right rough place and some
were wounded tbere. That fellow
that took the regiment kept it mighty
well, he should have told it sooner.
I take The Ledger myself and read
these things. Then after that I saw
another fellow, he claimed to be a
private, he says he was in the battle
of Sbilo. He goes on to say he ad
vised Albert Sidney Johnson to fight
that battle; he said Johnson had de
cided to run until he told him to
fight. 1 was at Shilo myself and
found it a rough muddy place. There
were a good many men hurt there,
some got their clothes tore with can
non balls passing too close.
Speaking of that fellow that told
Johnson to fight, I don’t believe it
would do for a private to advise a
a general; he would be in
danger of getting the filling all kick
ed out of the seat of his breeches, if
he bad any seat in them. I was in
the war from first to last and fought,
bled and died as much as any one
man. I never done much big fight-
.ing like some did, but I always went
in the lead in a charge when the regi
ment was going the direction that
suited me; I generally took it slow
and easy when we were going with
our face before us and I always had
company.
This is the first letter I ever wrote
to The Ledger or an? body else. I
am not much of a scholar; in my
days schools wasn’t fashionable. The
fust school I everf ent to,the man that
was boss didn’t come the next day;
be was drunk and didn’t have no
school. The next he give holiday
and that ended it for good. Then
after that dad sold a cow and put the
whole cow on me in schooling. From
that time on, I have been doing
mighty wtll in the way of edification.
The girls over here are all married—
only a few and they want to so bad
they can’t wait much longer if they
can get anybody that wears breeches
to have them.
Potatoes and pumpkins aren’t as
plentiful here as they have been ; this
has been a very poor country.
Again I saw in The Ledger wnere
some fellow said Cherokee was where
the garden of Eden was. I always
kuew Adam and Eve never did
any good, but I never knew where
they lived until I saw it in The Led
ger—that accounts fer the bad start
they made. Being this is the first
letter I ever wrote I will stop, hoping
you and old Mrs. Ledger are well and
doing well. I will soon send in a
dollar; I know you will be glad wbeu
my time is out.
