We would like very much to see the theatrical season open up in its old time shape. Religion, politics, and social intercourse are all right and proper and no people can go on and attain that high degree of perfection for which God intended them with out these things. But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. The management of the theatre has striv en to secure only such attractions as will elevate, educate, instruct and amuse. We want to say just here that no play will be permitted that is in any respect low or degrading; and rather than permit such a per formance, the engagement, will be broken. * • • The cotton growers meeting at the court house yesterday was a history making epoch for Cherokee county. We do not remember of a more thoroughly representative assem blage of the people of the county. Mr. Jordon’s speech was that of a plain, practical, business fanner pleading with the people to unite to bettei their own condition. Mr. Smith's speech was full of humor and pathos, common sense and education. Al though every available seat was oc cupied and many stood, we regret that more of our people could not hear these speeches. It is such gath erings as these that are speeding us on our way toward a better and brighter day. The glory of the South depends upon the prosperity of her agriculturalists. In the degree they prosper so must we all prosper, and in this onslaught agniint the domin ion of the Wall street speculators every man should stand shoulder to shoulder. The farmer has graspett the situation and we sincerely trust he will hold it. Let those who have put their hand to the plow not falter and it follows that success must crown their efforts. Boy Shoots at a Chicken and the Bali Hits Another Boy. Broadus Westmoreland, a young son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Wesmorelanu, who live In the West End portion of the city, was accidentally shot Satur day afternoon, by a small rifle in the hands of another boy, by the name of Stacy. The boys were In a corn patch at the time, after a chicken; Stacy fired at the chicken, and after breaking its leg the hall, which was a 22-calibre, glanced and struck young Westmoreland, who was some distance away in the field, and out of sight of the other hoy. Drs. Jefferies and Griffith were sent for: and upon examination It was found that the hall had entered the hoy’s right side, about on a line with the navel, producing a serious but not necessarily fatal wound. The physicians administered an anaesthetic and end eavored to find the ball, but were unable to locate it. The hoy was resting well yester day, and with good care and atten tion he will likely recover. The shooting was purely an acci dent, and no blame is attached to the hov who fired the gun.

We are only too sorry that more of our people, both white and black, did not. hear the Rev. Richard Carroll Sunday afternoon and nighti, al though on both occasions he had crowded houses and the best of at tention throughout. He requested us to say that the marked attention giv en him Sunday afternoon by tho large white audience was duly appreciated by him. Without meaning to palaver or to throw any hoquets, we wish to say that no public utterance deliver ed in Gaffney by any man, white or black, has been fraught with more truth and common sense than wan the address of Richard Carroll on Sunday afternoon. No man or wo man could hear it. without a desire to be a better man or woman. No mas ter could hear it without desiring to be a better master; and no servanr could hear it without desiring to he a better servant. With a splendid physique, a silvery voice and an ex cellent command of good English, this negro talked to a crowded house of white people on the race question and did it in a manner that no one could take exception to. If he evei come hack to Gaffney, and we hope he will, we want all our people to hear him. He is one educated negro who knows what God put the negro here for, and he also knows how to tell it.

They “Saw It in The Ledger.” Mr. Latta Parish, a real estate dealer in this city, received an in quiry yesterday from a gentleman in Arkansas, im regard to some land near the city which Mr. Parish had advertised in The Ledger. The gen tleman stated that he had seen the advertisement in The Ledger, and wanted full particulars concerning the nature of the tract. Mr. Parish also received a similar inquiry from California a few days ago, as a result of ids ad. in The Ledger. A week or two ago, a market man of this city placed a notice in out “want” column offering a cow for sale. In a very short time the cow was sold to a man living several miles in the country. The market man said the little ad. had benefited him to the extent of about ten times the cost of it. These are only a few of many such instances. If you have anything to sell, make it known through the col umns of The Ledger, which not only “covers Cherokee like the dew,” hut goes into distant states as well.

R. L. Parish. The Mutual Benefit Life Ins. Compy. “During the present Insurance investigation in New York, Mr. Hughes, the counsel for the investigating committee, called the Actuary of the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company, of New Jersey, to the staiul and asked if the expenses of his company were not about 25 per cent, of the income like those of the other concerns under investigation; and when the Actuary replied that the expenses were only 15 per cent, of the income, Mr. Hughes excused him from further testimony, and made no inquiries about irregular deals and rake offs, such as have been keeping the officials of the big concerns on the anxious seat.” From an article appearing in The Literary Digest, Oct. 7th, 1905. ; For Rates and Specimen Policies, see Jones J.
