Carolina Boys in Virginia.
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.
