Can Gaffney have a Carnegie li
brary? That seems to he a question
now for Gaffney to decide.
* * *
The city's standpipe will he thor
oughly cleaned and repainted this
week: and now Gaffney people must
even “touch the water light” for a
little season!
• * *
The city council has decided to ori
ginate an effon to establish a Carnegie
library at this place, and it will make
a strong effort, and, we have no doubt,
a successful one,—if it can get the
cr,-on< ration of the citizens.

Requests for catalogues of Lime
stone College are beginning to come
in from young ladies who wish to en
ter at the opening of next term. It
is a remarkable fact that practically
every room in the college has already
been engaged for next session. Truly,
Gaffney should rejoice with Limestone
at her continued wonderful growth
and prosperity. ^

The town council has decided that ii
would not be prudent for them to as
sume the responsibility of managing
the Fourth of July celebration which,
was suggested by The Ledger a short
time ago. We are assured, though,
that the city authorities would like
very much to have the celebration, and
that they are' willing to contribute as
liberally as possible to the same, pro
vided that it is decided to celebrate.
Let us celebrate, by all means. No
man is so busy at this season but that
he can take one day off for pleasure
and recreation, and it is nothing but
right that he should do it. Besides
the pleasure of the occasion and the
rest and relaxation from business |
cares and every-day worries, it helps j
every one to meet and mingle with
his fellowmen in a friendly and social j
and informal manner. Other towns j
and counties have these celebrations
annually, and why not Gaffney and
Cherokee?

“We do not see any reason why our
friend of the Gaffney Ledger should
get hot under the collar because we
said that we did not think that the
experience of that county would lead
one to suppose that, there was any
growth of sentiment towards abste-
nance. We said nothing of blind
tigers in Cherokee, but we know that
wherever there is a jug train there
is mighty apt to be blind tigers. We
also believe that the hills of Chero-1
kee, if tapped with the right sort of
Aaron’s rod, would run sonie mighty
pure corn juice. There are a great
many men. who are probably like the
gentleman our friend DeCamp was
talking to about the matter, who
think if they do not have a thing
thrust under their noses that it does
Upt exist. That sort of people are
generally very good; they suspect no
evil, but they always remind us of
the servant girl who sweeps dirt un
der the bed and washstand and thinks
the room clean.”
The above is from the Florence
Daily Times. Honor bright. Brother
kAyer. we were not aware that we had
displayed a hot temper. We were
simply trying to convince you that;
you were in error. The truth of the;
matter is that this town and county *
are so dry that a great majority arej
spitting cotton to such an etxent that
we do not expect the wet weather or
the reduction in acreage to effect the
production of the staple to a great
extent However, we hope to see you
at. White Stone in July when the
thirst may be quenched.
The Catawba and Its Future.
iCharlotte Chronicle.)
Congressman Finley made an in
teresting talk recently before the Com
mercial Club. In Hock Hill. S. C.. in
which he spoke prophetically of the
future of the Catawba river. As re-
ported in The Yorkvllle Enquirer, he
said that the present generation will
see a day when the Catawba will be
navigable from the Sea to the North
Carolina line. He explained that “the
development of the Wateree power at
Camden will back water to Catawba
Falls; the development of Catawba
Falk” "•ill ba^k water to Landsford:
the development of Landsford will
hack water to the dam of the Catawba
Power Company; the dam of the Ca?
tawba Power Company already backs
water to the North Carolina line.
With all these water powers developed
to their fullest capacity, the valley of
the Catawba will teem with an Indus
trial population that will require war
ter transportation. The government
never hesitates to do all it can to
provide water transportation where
such a convenience is necessary and
practicable .and with the development
referred to accomplished there will
be nothing left for the government
but to con-itruct locks at Camden,
Catawba Falls,'Landsford and Neely’s
Ferry.”
Mr. Finley says there are scores of
cases where the government has done
greater work for rivers of less im
portance. and he believes that many
of us will live to see freight trans
ported from the North Carolina line
to Charleston by way of the Catawba.
This is not Improbable. Many streams
in the North that are not as large as
the Catawba have been made carriers
of commerce by government aid.

The Meaning of It.
* (Columbia State.)
There was great Interest all over;
tbe State in the election on the dis-,
pen -ary question which was held yes-1
terdaj in Pickens county. As had
be *11 anticipated, the dispensary was
“voted out” by an overwhelming ma
jority—about 3 to 1.
The election was held under the j
provisions of the so-called Brice bill, |
a measure that has been much before
,,the public and considerably discussed
in the legislature. It was under this i
act that the dispensary last summer,
was "voted out” of Cherokee county.:
The act was in some respects attempt- 1
ed to he amended at the Januarv ses
sion of the legislature and the penal-:
ties for shutting up the dispensary
made not so hard upon the county tak-i
ing that action as they were when the
dispensary was defeated in Cherokee,
but the effort failed in the senate. In
Pickens a very active campaign has
ben waged for some weeks against
the dispensary, the leaders beinc eer-1
tain ministers of different denomina
tions. They have preached and talked
against the dispensary very strongly.
It has been claimed that these forces
were receiving the encouragement and
assistance of the old moonshine ele- 1
rr.-uit. which under the reign of pro
hibition would expect to have things
its own way and make illicit whiskey
without ceasing day or night. There
is no doubt that the moonshiners hate
the disnensary—just as they hate any
law which seeks to control or regu
late the traffic in liquor—and they j
have doubtless contributed to the
overthrow of the system In the elec
tion of yesterday. Nor would even
the most ardent prohibitionist expect
to suppress the moonshine trade in
Pickens, which is a border county,!
with the free and unconquerpd moun-j
tains in its very midst. Cherokee has
so successfully kept down the blind
tigers, with the public sentiment so
strongly back of prohibition, that it
has been unnecessary for the govern
or to enforce that provision of the
Brice act which calls for the levy of
a special tax for the enforcement of
the law in such counties, but whether

Roosevelt to Visit North Carolina.
T. J. P<*nce, lit the Raleigh Post
says President Roosevelt will visit
Raleigh and Charlotte in October, and
In all probability he will make brief
stops at Greensboro and other North
Carolina towns along the route of his
tour, which will carry him to the
States of Georgia. Alabama, Florida,
Louisiana' and Arkansas.
the same condition will prevail in
Pickens county is quite another ques
tion. The task now cut out for the
sincere prohibitionists in that county
is immeasurably more difficult than
that which confronted the same faction
in Cherokee.
However, tho defeat of the dispen-
s fy in Pickens is taken by th<* po
litical seers as an indication of the
watting strength of the Great Moral
Institution before the people. It is
pointed out that the only two coun
ties which have voted on the dispen
sary have voted against it by large
majorities, and it is asserted that oth
er counties are ready to follow their
example. The opponents of the dis
pensary law and some of its present
friends have tried very hard to secure
tlie passage of a law which would give
a county tho right to vote on the
question of dispensary or no dispen
sary without any complications, but
the county voting out a dispensary
must give up its share of the dispen
sary profits apportioned to the public
schools and perhaps pay a special tax
for the enforcement of prohibition.
Notwithstanding these penalties the
sentiment is said to be setting in
against the dispensary and there are
Pickens and Cherokee to prove it The
!H* v t county to hold such an election
is probably to be Spartanburg—one of
the largest counties in the State from
the standpoint of voting strength—and
then will come Union, petitions for an
election having already been circu
lated in both of these counties. The
results there will he awaited with the
greatest interest as the existence of
the dispensary system in its present
i e m is evidently at stake.
All of which will make the campaign
next year very interesting also.
