NOT E8 AND COMMENTS.
Mayor Little did a wise thin* when
he instructed the police force to keep
the streets of the city clear at night
and to enforce the law strictly against
vagrancy. We believe that the preva
lence of crime in our town is largely
the result of the ignoring of the va
grancy laws.
n m m
We predict that the Commercial
Club will be of great benefit to our city.
If tl.j body of men who compose the
organization make up raeir minds to
get something for the good of the
town they will come pretty ne^- get
ting it. No finer body of men can be
found in the State, and every member
is enthusiastic.

We had the pleasure recently of
hearing th fi music club at one of its
practices, and we were much surprised
and gratified at. the proficiency which
was displayed, especially by the or
chestra. Gaffney is noted for its mu
sical talent and wa are antiHrlatin o,
great pleasure from ti.^ series of en
tertainments whicfr the club purpos
es to give in the near future.

A MERRY MORNING
WITH THE MAYOR.
Mayor’s court, for Tuesday morning
was anything but a “flowery bed of
ease” for those figuring prominently
in it. Cases loomed up and as soon
as one could bo disposed of, another
would be called on to anne^r and
never failed to distinguish itself by
appearing before His Honor in the
hall of justice.
The first case taken up was one
that had been forecasted as probable
when The Ledger was last printed,
as the defendant, Wiltse Montgomery,
was languishing behind prison bars.
Wiltse w’as on deck as a consequence
of an alleged disturbance he had cre
ated during public worship in a house
of religious services. His misconduct
was quoted as the use of profane
language and as criticising the sect
to which those in attendance a 1 the
worship adhered. He is said +o have
the city whose attendance may be
required. Under the now arrange
ment they will lose very little time
from their business. The mayor also
announced that a vigorous crusade
would be instituted at once with a
view of enforcing the vagrancy law.
As it is. almost anv time, day or
night, a number of shiftless oues can
be‘seen on the streets with no visable
means of support, which the mayor
shall construe as making them liable
to prosecution and shall act accord
ingly. B. B.

Farmers' Bone does more than that. It makes it possible to reduce
the acreage and increase the yield. Try it this year. The man

this remark was no doubt because
the church in question was a colored
one devoted to the holiness and sanc

on the instfde say much thought is
given to the good qualities of fire and

Sunday School Unions.
The next Sunday school union of
the northern section of the Broad
River Association will meet with the
New Pleasant church on Fridav be
fore the fifth Sunday in April. 1906.
The following programme will be
observed:
Introductory sermon by Rev. A. J.
Bonner, at 11 o’clock.
Intermission for forty five minutes
Cali for the reports of Sunday
schools and enrollment delegates, or
ganization.
First query: “Ought Sunday school
teachers be paid? If so, why? If not,
why?” by Charley Davis and others.

sacred music in the Sunday schools.”

fellow who anneared as 9. witness
against him. The alleged transact
ion appeared to a casual observer as
complicated, to say the least, as the
witness testified that he gave the pris
oner money at his house and on re
turning received a pint of poor whis
key from the mantlepiece. On the
other hand, the prisoner was positive
that he gave the witness some money
and that, he (the witness) went
off and on returning placed
a pint of whiskey on tne
same mantlepiece referred to by the
witness. For such complications, the
court, ably assisted by the witnesses
and attendants, appeared to he suc
ceeding to a remarkable extent in
unravelling the skein of evidence;
but the end was not yet. William
Henry Manning, a well-known local
character, w’ho is a well-known spec
tator (?) in the court chamber and a
familiar sight to the officers of the
law, appeared an a witness. Here
arose complication number two. At
the outset, before preceding with
the examination of William Henrv.
the mayor inquired if he was as
truthful as of old. On being assured
that he was, the examination proceed
ed. As a witness, William Henry
was not a great success, hut as an
example of how to “butt-in” success
fully he did well, as he succeeded in
a very few minutes in making a
change from witness to the role of
prisoner, .on a charge of vagrancy.
His presence in the court was a gen
tle reminder to the officers that he
hadn’t worked for many moons.
When called upon for an explanation
as to his apparent neglect of ekhib-
