Pinners Point, Va., July 28, 1904. Ed. Ledger:—As my subscription has expired I take pleasure in send ing the amount to cover one year’s subscription to The Ledger. Mr. Editor, I am almost ashamed to ac knowledge being without The Ledger one month; but such is the case, this time, and we do not intend it shall be any more. Since my last letter to The Ledger we have had the pleasure of welcom ing in our midst another South Caro lina boy, in the person of Mr. Phil Freeman, of Blacksburg. We realize the great loss to the Blacksburg peo ple in such a noble character as Mr. Freeman, but we are proud of him in our little town, Pinners, Va. I tell the young ladles we are the best representatives that could be chosen out of the town of Blacks burg—for good looks. They say they are sorry for those left behind. Yours truly, J. B. King. A Little Child Shall Lead Them. [Florence Times.] It will be a strange but beautiful sight to see Senator Tillman a pillar of a gold Democratic administration, the confidant of Grover Cleveland’s man for president. Oh! it will be strange. The lion and the lamb will be lying down together and we doubt not a little child shall lead them. “No Dispensary.” Grassy Pond. Aug. 14. 1904. Editor Ledger:—It is with some delicacy that I take my pencil to give the public my views on the ques tion of “dispensary, or no dispensar- ry.” But as The Ledger is always on the firing line ready to do battle for the best interests of Cherokee county and her citizens, I shall make the venture. The dispensary has already served Its purpose; and if the advocates of the dispensary ran give one good reason why it should stand, there can be many good reasons why it should fall. I do not deem it necessary to mention any of the many evils aris ing from the sale of liquor in any community, to the intelligent people of Cherokee county; they know. I desire to emphasize every word of Mr. McCraw’s letter recently written for The Ledger, and admonish every good citizen of Cherokee county to go to The Ledger office and sign the petition for an election; and then on the day of election go and deposit your ballot for “no dispensary.’’ and your wives and sweethearts will bless the day you came their way, and they will shower blessings on your heads and plenty of good cooked victuals down your throats.
