If anybody has a message for the people of this community he cannot deliver it to them so effectually, so cheaply, so quick ly in any other way as through the columns of this paper. It is the business of this pa per to carry messages of one kind and another into homes. The message will be delivered, too, under favorable conditions, for few persons take up their local paper except in a pleasant and receptive frame of mind. The sign upon the fence board may be good, but it can be seen only by travelers who go that particular road. The message in the local paper carries itself to thousands, no matter by which road the)- travel. Select your space and put your message whe:e it will do the most good. 4 We, jierhaps, o/. belp you if you w.ll :'uf ask ua A Message from Mississippi. Center, Miss., April 5, 1905. Editor Ledger: I enclose you a few lines from far away Mississppi which you can publish in your valuable pa per if you think it worth the space. The past winter has been the cold est ever experienced in Mississippi; we had zero weather here February 14th and 15th. There was but little work done during January and Febru ary, save cutting wood and making fires. Since then it has rained so much that farm work is very much belated and but little plowing has been done. Farmers are more united in regard reduction of cotton acreage and the use of fertilizers than ever before; self-interest seems to be sufficient, if nothing else, to cause unanimity of sentiment at this time of all classes or professions. Farmers have been heretofore less united than any other class. Why has it been thus? Our farmers do not read the papers much; some not even their county paper: and they are, as a rule (many of them) swindled by every cheat and fraud that comes along. Newspapers are so cheap, now, and the price of a first- class paper so low, that it cannot he the cause of their ignorance of cur rent events. Some say they have not time to read the papers to inform themselves; but such can hardly be so. I manage a farm of 200 acres and find time to read six first-class papers, some of them semi-weeklies, and two county papers, all southern—from the fact that I am as southern as the cot ton plant. If our farmers would read and inform thbmselves those travel ing cheats and frauds who traverse our country would have to seek some other vocation. We use here, on certain soils, differ ent fertilizers from what are used in South Carolina, which invariably rust cotton here. We use kanit, which pre vents cotton from rusting and is our best fertilizer for that class of land. I. Peeler. “That must be a good article, for I see it advertised everywhere.” is a common remark, bom of the knowl edge that advertising is more or less costly and can’t be used profitably to exploit inferior goods.—Printers’ Ink. Vigorous publicity will sell shoddy goods for a time, but the manufac turer who attempts to cover up a weak proposition with advertising will spon come to grief. Corn in Cherokee. Ed. Ledger:—I noticed an article in your last issue where a farmer in Kershaw county had sold a car load of com to one of Kershaw’s merch ants, and you wanted to know why the farmers in Cherokee county could not furnish the Gaffney merchants with corn. Now, I will say right here that there is a lot of corn in Cherokee county now, and I think you will see more another year. I have already sold one thousand bushels and can sell five hundred more. I have fed six horses and sixteen head of hogs; fat tened six head that would have netted three hundred pounds, and have win tered thirty h^ad of cattle. I have six brood sows that will come in soon. I think I shall be able to sell ten thousand bundles of fodder, for which I can get from $1.50 to $2.00 per hun dred. I have not sold any corn for less than 75 cents. These figures will show you that there is some com raised in Chero kee. I also have one hundred bushels of peas on hand. T. G. McCraw. Gaffney, Arpil 14, 1905. A Qpiet Home Wedding. There was a quiet home wedding in West End Gaffney, Peachtree street, at the home of Mr. D. E. Lem mons Sunday at 10 a. m. The con tracting parties were Mr. Joseph C. Camp and Miss Etta Lemmons, Rev. W. T. Thompson officiating. At 10 o’clock those present for the purpose of seeing and enjoying the occasion repaired to the parlor. Rev. W, T. Thompson next entered, and was followed by Mr. Edwin B. Stacy and Miss Hattie Camp. Then Mr. T. E. Petty and Miss Bluster Lemmons w.ho were in turn followed by the in teresting young couple to be united irr the holy bonds of matrimony. After the ceremony was perfomed they were shown the nice presents given them and they immediately started for Grassy Pond, accompanied by several other young couples, where they attended services. It is hardly necessary to state that the many friends of the newly mar ried couple wish for them a long life of happiness and usefulness. Unclaimed Letters.
