THE LEDGER, Published Tuesday and Friday by Ed H. DeCamp. The Ledger is not responsible for the views of correspondents. Correspondents who do not contri bute regular news letters must fur nish their name, not for publication, Write short letters and to the point to insure publication; also endeavor to get them to the office by Monday and Thursday mornings, but for Identification. Obituraries will be published at five cents a line. All correspondence should be ad dessed to Ed. H. DeCamp, Manager. We invariably discontinue sending The Ledger when a subscription runs out, for we have no way of knowing that a person wants it except by re' ceiving his or her renewal. We ur gently solicit a prompt renewal, on the ground that the paper is worth the money. We are trying month by month to make it better and bet ter. : spite, malice, hatred and ignorance, j and he who advocates it lacks ‘.ho PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. | to the city yesterday.

Altogether the present council has done as much or more to improve the appearance of our streets than any council in the same length of time. It is to be commended for its efforts. • • • The Charleston Evening Post heads an editorial on the Eutawville lynch ing horror, “Six Heads in the Noose.” It remains to be seen, however, wheth er the noose will be properly tight ened.

They mean great economy for all the power plants op erating here when the Catawba Pow er Company gets regularly into busi- “ ness in Charlotte. The nearer you get to greatness the smaller it appears.

The poor man who is bolt aft* r bid' of taffeta, and match physically able to work and does not labor is a burden to himself and oth ers. The rich man who is physically able to work and does not labor is a fool. That’s what we w'-re created for, and when we fail to fill the place for which we were created we become useless. • • • The slaying of man by man contin ues to go in uninterrupted in our State. The majesty of the law is ruth lessly trampled under foot and crime continues to run rampant over the land. The only remedy is a few first class hangings of second class citi zens. Any community is better off without a murderer in its midst than it is with him. • * * We have no admiration for the fel low who imagines he is “the whole push” in the community in which he resides, or the circle in which he moves. Such a man is conceited and arrogant. Man was made to glorify God and not himself. Man can only glorify God and attain that end for which he was created when he strives to give others the best that is in him and puts self aside. a city visitor yesterday.

Our suggestion of a social club for Gaffney has met with approbation from a number of young men and we are encouraged to hope for some such organization. The benefits to accrue would be purely social but it would tend to lessen the burden of life and make cares rest lightly. While we believe in work we also believe in some play. “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” • * • Our good friend Pink Dellinger, is a candidate for county commissioner of Cleveland county, North Carolina. If our friends, the enemy, should be successful in Cleveland county ir can be truthfully said that there will be one gentleman on the board of county commissioners. Pink is a mighty good fellow and we would like to see him elected—pro vided this could be done without electing the balance of the ticket—but we are afraid he has a long and stumpy row before Mm. At any rate, old boy, we wish you success, but you ought to be on the other side, for you are too nice a man to galloping with that gang. • • • Ledger readers should patronize Ledger advertisers. We do not mean by this that those merchants who do not use the columns of this paper to announce bargains to a waiting world should be boycotted by Ledger read ers, but we do mean to say that, all things being equal. Ledger advertis ers should be given the preference by Ledger readers. We despise the boy cott. It is the weapon of anarchists and socialists, and no man or set of men who are true hearted and possess the noblest traits of citizenship will resort to such dirty, low-down meth ods. The boycott Is the offspring of Notice to Delegates. Kings Creek, 3. R. F. D. No. 1.
