HURRAH FOR THE GLORIOUS FOURTH GAFFNEY AND CHEROKEE TO CELEBRATE THE DAY. Committees Have Been Appointed to Arrange Programs—Free Dinners for the Old Soldiers. So wo are to celebrate the glorious Fourth! The people demanded it and the de mand was responded to. As announced in The Ledger last Friday, a meeting was held at the court house Saturday under the aus pices of the Cotton Growers’ Associa tion, looking toward a celebration of July Ith. County President R. C. Sarratt pre sided and J. Frank Parrott acted as secretary. After discussion by those present, the following resolutions were offered and unanimously adopted: “Resolved 1st, That we have a farmers’ picnic at Limestone on July 4th. “Resolved 2nd, That a committee be appointed to solicit funds to de fray the expenses of the occasion.” In accordance with the above reso lution the following committee to so licit funds was appointed: Rev. F. C. Hickson, Sheriff \V. W. Thomas, Clerk of Court J. Eh Jefferies, Barney Clary and Ed Kirby. These gentle men also constitute the committee on barbecue. The committee makes the follow ing statement: Gaffney, S. C., June 2f!, 1905. To the Confederate Veterans of Cher okee County, South Carolina: The undersigned were appointed by a meeting of the Cotton Growers’ As sociation to solicit funds and provide a free barbecue for every Confeder ate soldier now living in our county, the same to he served in connection with “the farmers’ basket picnic” at Limestone Springs on July 4th, 1905, By the liberality mainly of the citi zens of the town of Gaffney we are prepared to announce the success of our enterprise and hereby extend a most cordial invitation to every old soldier in the county to come to Limestone on July 4th and eat dinner at our expense. We shall he very much disappointed if a single soldier fails: we want every one of you to come. We have asked Gapt. H. P. Griffith to make you a speech of wel come on our behalf. In order that we may know how many to prepare dinner for we ask that each old sol dier in the county send by return mail his name to one of the county papers published in Gaffney, and lest there • should be some failure on the part of the same to report we ask the fol lowing gentlemen to send each for his neighborhood as full a list as he can of the old soldiers and that they urge the same to attend the barbe cue, viz: Joe Price, Cowpens; Moss Goforth, Thickety; E. R. Sapoch, F. H. Dover and W. E. Anderson for over the river; G. W. McKown, J. L. Strain, W. L. Goudelock and T. G. Chalk, for the territory south of the railroad; D. A. Thomas, for Gaffney. Let these names come at once, please. In addition to furnishing a free din ner to the old soldiers we expect to cue about 500 pounds of pork and mutton, which we will furnish at about cost to any others who may wish barbecued meat for d‘ v ior. We expect, of course, .u there will be thousands of farm* ho will be In attendance on “lu armers’ basket picnic,” who will bring their sons and daughters and well filled baskets of such goodies as farmers’ wives know so well how to fix. These will ho eaten* in groups or by each family singly as they may elect. We will try to furnish all as much barbe cued meat as they may wish. The committee on arrangements will entertain you all with speeches in the forenoon and amusements in the afternoon. They will make their own announcements in due time. W. W. Thomas, G.

Several very attractive speakers have been invited, and and have ac cepted, among them being Prof. H. P. Griffith, who will talk to the old soldiers on the subject which is near est and dearest his heart. We ar^ a little late in starting but the pressure brought to bear could not he resisted, so the Fourth will be cele brated and the thing to do is for every resident of Cherokee to put his or her shoulder to the wheel and help make the celebration a great and glorious success. FREIGHT ON THE SABBATH. JOSEPH M. LANGLEY MISSING. Complaint From Ministers on Sabbath Observance. Columbia, June 23.—As a result of a complaint received by the railroad commission regarding the running of freight trains on Sunday a formal or der will be issued calling attention to the law on the subject and ordering the cessation of the practice, if it ex ists. The complaint came from a number of ministers of Spartanburg and other cities in the upper part of the State, and the letters received stated that the law had been constantly violated. The railroad commission spent sever al hours discussing the situation and ..fter an examination of the law, de cided that if the complaint was true the railroads were subject to a fine. Railroad people in the city today -tate that the comnlaint is altogether unfounded and that the railroads, with few exceptions, do not violate the law. There is a special provision made for the fast vegetable and fruit j trains that are hurried North as rap idly as possible, and it is possible that these trains are the ones about! which complaint has been filed. If that is the case the order will, of course, not affect their running, as they com<; under the interstate com merce law and cannot touched. Outside of these, however, there are no local freight trains that are con sidered violating this law. On some of the roads trains arrive or depart from their terminals late Saturday and sometimes the hours of the crews extend over Sunday, hut this is considered absolutely neces sary in the business of the road and does not apply in the order to he is sued. The order will only aimlv to trains carrying freight that make a business of running Sunday and if there are any of these they are sub ject to a fine. It is safe to saw how ever. that there are none and that tho roads are not violating the law. SHOT FROM AMBUSH. Rev. H. D. Grainger, White, Killed In a Field Near Florence. Charleston, June 22.—A special from Florence tonight says that Rev. H. D. Grainger, a local Baptist preach er and farmer, was shot from ambush and killed today while working in his field. The only cause that can be assigned is that. Grainger had brought into the “Dead Stretch,” a section so-called between Bayboro and Loris, two ne groes to work on his place and allow ed them to sleep at liis house. This is supposed to have en r aged a certain) eyes element which is said to have declared that no negro should come into that A section at the risk of his life. An Employe at the Southern Shops Disappears Mysteriously. Columbia, June 23.—Joseph M. Langley, a carpenter in the car de partment at the shops of the Southern Railway in this city, has unaccount ably disappeared and has not been seen by his family or any of his friends since Monday. He left his home on the Barhamville road, less than a mile from the shops, as usual Monday morning. He worked at his two hours extra time, which kept him until 8 o’clock that night. After leav ing work he was seen by acquaint ances going towards his home and the last that can be learned of him is that he was at the store of Mr. William G. Alworden on the Barhamville road that night. His wife is unable to account for his absence and "ays that she thinks he lias been foully dealt with. She and her two young children have been left in a most deplorable condition. Both of the children are sick and she her self is just recovering from a recent illness. The eldest of the two chil dren is two years old and the young- est is only seven months old, They are without money or the necessaries of life and dependent upon the bounty of their good neighbors for food and shelter. The Langleys invested in $75 worth of furniture on the installment plan when they began housekeeping some time ago, and this has been seized and removed by the furniture house from which it was bought because of her inability to pay the installments. Mrs. Langley said that she had pail about half of the $75 and that she had lost that and the furniture too. She and her children are being eared for at the home of Joseph L Gates, who lives near the broken up home of the Langleys. So tar as can be learned there is absolutely nothing to indicate why Langley should have left excent that he wtis in debt and could not meet his obligations. His wife states that he had no enemies, ;o far as she knew. There is no reason to believe that he has met with foul play. The full name of the missing man is Joseph Martin Langley. He is origi nally from Tibbett, Missouri, and came to Charleston about seven years ago as an enlisted man in Battery M, of the coast artiller* stationed on Sullivan’s Island. His wife was. before their marriage, a Miss Mitchell, of Charleston. They were married more than six years ago. after Langley had left the army. Her family lives in Charleston and she lias sent them two telegrams tell ing of her distressing misfortune, hut has received no reply to either of them. When it was suggested to Mrs. Langley that her husband might have forsaken her, the thought did not seem to disturb her greatly and she said that she would like to know whether he was dead or not or if he had gone off on his own hook and that if the latter was the case he' could do as he pleased, as she had given him no cause to leave and that she could go to her parents. Langley is 32 years of age. is 5 feet ti inches in height and weighs about 14n pounds. He has dark brown and dark brown or black hair. R NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular Paopla and Short Items of General Interest. Wilkinsville, June 22.—Bully for Camp Giles U. C. V., of Union.

The following dispatch from Louis ville, Ky., will be of local interest: Louisville, Ky., June 20.—Another Confederate reunion romance was added last night, when Mr. Arthur Lee, a native of Blacksburg, S. C., who came here to attend the reunion, and visited Mr. Chevalier, of 2409 Olive street, eloped with Miss Ella Chevalier, his host’s daughter. They were distantly related. Mr. Lee had announced his inten tion of taking Miss Chevalier home wiih him, but the family considered it a joke. They are on their way to Atlanta, where Mr. Lee is a railroad fireman. Water Hours. Owing to the scarcity of water, and in order that the standpipe may be refilled, Superintendent DuPre, of the city waterworks, has adopted the plan of having the users of the water draw it only at certain hours of the day. These hours are: From 5 to 7 and 11 to 12 A. M., and from 5 to 6 in the afternoon. If this arrangement be complied with it will not take very long to fill up the pipe, and water will then be as plentiful as usual. A Desperado Captured. Raleigh, N. C., June 23.—A possee! from Raleigh went up to New Light township and captured a desperado! named Lowry last night. His wife had sworn out a warrant against him for assault and he is in jail, failing! in New York. A Leavetaking. On Friday evening Mr. and Mrs. \rthur Southard Pierson onteriained their friends as a b-avofaking, on the eve of their departurf* for their home to give $500 bond. He very frankly told the officers that he would have j shot them if he could have seen them. Letter to J C Plonk, Cherokee Falls, S. C. Dear Sir: You are a maker; so are we.

Mrs. Kirk Burgess, of Wilkinsville, |' s r^ht sick. The doctor was called ! to see her last Saturday, so we un- derstand. Mr. Bobbie Osment is working on the farm of Hon. C. W. Whisonant. Farmers have about gotten to where 1 they have little or nothing to do now. They are waiting for rain, and then , they will begin war again with “Gen- ; era! Green,” A distinguished writer on etiquette i in speaking of marriage and courtship. - says, among other things: “Good , 1'orrn. however, requires that the gen tleman should gain the consent of the guardian or parents of the lady be- i fore making his proposal to herself. This is particularly important if he is in moderate circumstances and she wealthy.” He might get that rule to work in some places, hut it won’t in | this county. A very sensible l^dy, when asked why she didn’t marry when she had so many lovers, replied: "Being court ed is too great a luxury to be spoiled by marrying.” Sensible girl that is. The doctor was called to see one of Air. Natt Bratton’s children this morning. The doctor has been treat ing Mrs. J. H. Fowler and one of her children, both of whom we are glad to say are better. Mr. W. G. Fowler has a sick child, too. There are sev eral cases of sickness in this neigh borhood. none of whom, we are glad to say, are bad off, as yet. We understand that Mr. Jack G. Kendrick has gone to Toronto, Can ada. We are having fine weather for making hay; but, unfortunately, not many of our farmers can be at it. We have rather poor prospects for all the different kinds of crops we cultivate. The corn that was held hack bv the wet weather so long was turned yel low and hasn’t yet gained its proper color. Much of it is still in weeds and grass. We are still wanting rain. 1 he land in many places can neither be plowed nor hoed until rain comes. i Gardens are suffering, too, for want of rain. Mr. Tom Bolin says “A man can do almost anything that he will try to, if he is in dead earnest.” We believe 'Tom is about right; there is nothing like "will power” with a man be hind it. We >|M)ke recently of Dr. (or Prof essor) Connelly being in this neigh- borhood hunting up old chronic cases which other doctors had given up. Since then some of his patrons think he is a fraud, as lu* took their money and left some medicine and hasn't been seen since. Mr. Joe Estes, however, with whom we have talked! says he got a bottle of medicine from him and it’s doing him all right. This man, we are told, represented himself as an advertising agent for Dr. Pierce, with headquarters at Blacksburg for the present. He said he was hoarding with Dr. T. B. Whitesides, of that town. We hope he will turn out all righi yet.. It would b<> very unhealthy .or him (or any one) to pas., through this community imposing on Hu* sick and suffering if he were properly found out and caught up with. The rain has baffled the skill of our most, experienced local weather proph ets ii telling when it. would come. “All signs fail in dry weather.” I hose who can do so are planting corn in their low bottom lands. Mr. John Lowry says the reason we so often fail in using guano is be cause we don’t put down enough of it. That 300 to hiu pounds to the acre Is little enough one year with another, and he doesn't propose to use it in any other way if he uses any more. Mrs. Bet v Whitesides, of Blacks burg, is visiting her son, Hon. C. W. It son ant. Sh<* is well advanced in .i-e*. but is otherwise hale and active. She is a sister of Dr. Aleck White, who was murdered by some unknown party at his home on Abingdon creek <»n the night of tho 24th of August. 18t>5. We have a good prop of blackber ries. They hardl. ever fail. House wives will soon begin preserving them for winter use. Rev. W. If. White will preach at Salem on the first Sabbath in July, at 11 o’clock A M.. and at 1:30 P. M*. Several of our people are complain ing of colds, which are always worse in the summer than In the winter. Mr. John F. Estes was right unwell yesterday. He quit plowing for It; but he is now better. Those who have held their cotton up to this time don’t get mad a bit when they hear of Its bringing about nine cents and upwards. If they hold out until the present crop is made and gathered they will get still more, we are firmly of the opinion. We are informed that on last Sat urday our navigator went down the river on his excurison trip. If the dis pensary and revenue authorities will make the proper effort they will doubtless locate some illegal whiskey transactions going on along Broad river that it would be worth while to put a stop to at once. We hardly think he will make many more through trips unless he changes his signals. His stations have been spot ted and his object is fully under stood by men whom liquor can’t buy off. Go ahead, cousin, the risk is ail yours. j. l. s. BASEBALL. Gaffney is Entertained by Blacksburg —Limestone Downs Cherokee.

We hope to get a good rain soon, so our farmers can sow all their stubble. We have heard two of our leading farmers say a bushel of peas was worth more to land when sowed than a sack of guano. Gardens are suffering for rain, but crops seem to be doing very well. There was a heavy storm near Brooklyn yesterday, during which lightning struck and burned Mary .Mc Kinney's barn.
