We Invariably discontinue sending

that a person wants it except by re
ceiving his or her renewal. Wo ur*
gently solicit a prompt renewal, on
the ground that the paper Is worth

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
ACCIDENT IN WEST END.
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.

Friendlji Warning.
No Need to be Alarmed About Stomach Trouble if you use
Mi-o-na—Cure Guaranteed by Gaffney Drug Co.
The most frequent affection of the
stomach is catarrh, as the delicate
membrane which lines the stomach is
easily irritated by harmful food or
overeating. Keep a strict watch for
the first symptoms of stomach trou
ble. Take this friendly warning in
the sprit In which it is given and
profit by it.
Shortness of breath, black specks
before the eyes, furred tongue, dizzi
ness, belching of gasses or sour food,
weakness and debility are all signs of
catarrh of the stomach. There is no
need to be unduly alarmed, for this
disease can be cured by Mi-o-na. It
is tho only remedy that strikes at the
root of tho evil and actually cures the
disease.
It does not contan opium in any
form, acids, alcohol, or any other
harmful remedy or chemical. It is a
pure remedy that heals the irritated
mucous membrane, stimulates the so
lar plexus, and aids digestion.
Ask Gaffney Drug Co. to show you
the guarantee under which they sell
Mi-o-na. It costs but 50 cents a box,
and your money is returned if It does
not help you.

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.

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. ;
