7 \ F & i kr/ ml:. Hi « i t* »■ THE LEDGER. * Tuesday and Friday, *0 H OeCamp, Editor and Publlaher, J. Brian Bell, News Editor. NO' ES AND COMMENTS. Advertisers are crowding us this is- sne, but as we have covered the local field we assume that store news will be read as eagerly as would pot metal. • • • Ther^is an increasing demand for young men of character who are will ing to work. We would like ^o have the services of at least one good, •live boy who would rather be doing something than to watch the clock and wait for pay day to arrive. » • • While some people are opposed to immigration the fact is staring us in the face that as a rule the colored help is becoming more and more un reliable every day. We don’t want to admit this because we believe that the colored people are belter suited for our servants than an/ other peo ple in the world, but as a rule they afe becoming mighty trifling. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, hut in the main the proposition holds good. • • • If “Taxpayer” will furnish us with his name and address we will be pleased to publish his card. Contri butors to newspapers should remember that the invariable rule of all well regulated newspaper offices is that the author of an article must fur nish his name, not for publication, but a« a means of identification, and it is surprising to us that so intelli- "ent a person as “Taxpayer’s” manu- seriot w/uld Indicate, should not be aware of this rule. • • • Yesterday was the kind of dgy that would make a man’s heart yearn for good roads, th'at is if he had nny traveling to do. Its difficult for us t» see how any farmer can content him self with the roads we have in Chero kee. The subject of good roads should be the hobby of every progres sive citizen, and the subject should be agitated until some action is taken that wifi ultimately lead to the con struction of good roads from $very di rection of the county until it will look Mke an immense wheel with every spoke leading to the bub—Gaffney. • • • Judge Alton B. Parker, one time candidate for the oresidency of the United States on the Democratic tick et was the guest of tne Greater Char lotte Club last Saturday night. Our own D. Clinch was also present, a* was also Governor Bob Glenn, of North Carolina. Of course all three made speedy, and good speeches, too. and* as a consequence, every Char" lotto paper is “chesty” over the event Mr. Parker said a Southern man should be the nominee of the Demo cracy in 1808, and in this he was quite proper. We furnish the votes and by all that is reasonable and logi- oaJ we should furnish the candidatos. P^RSONXl 'PARAGRAPHS.
