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

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.

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.

“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.

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.
