On our tJ'in. amongst others, we met Mr. Moses Wilkins Goforth, who has in our judgment, missed much of life’s pleasures by not getting him a nice wife, instead of living a bachelor’s life.

The para graph contained a few other remarks as to the up-to-dateness of the sruct- ure and the cost, which was fixed at $10,000. The 1’ t was screwed on tight in the citv Sunday as regards anything to drink or smoke. There has been a ordinance prohibiting anything but drugs being sold on the Sabbath fbr some time, but R not any too rigidily observed. The police state, however, that it has reached a stage when drinks, cigars and tobacco are practical]v on sale one dav as well as another and it was absolutely neces- sare- to forbid anything at all being sold. It seems that the rule was strictly enforced Sunday and the thirsty remained thirsty all dav as fa* 1 as getting ice-cold lemonades and the refreshing coco-cola was concerned. The monotonous refrain of "nothing doing" continues to be the only re frain chanted in court circles of the citv.

In a converse tton with a Ledger man a few days ago, a prominent city official remark ed that the warning that the vagrancy charge would be pushed to the limit bad had the desirable effect.

The following clipping from a Bir mingham. Ala., paper tells of an acci dent i" which Mr. Green J. Averv who was a young man well known in Gaffney, was killed; “Green J. Avery, about twenty-eight years of age. employed as freight clerk at the depot of the Birmingham Railway. Light and Power Co., at Sixteenth street and First avenue, was run over and killed by an electric car yesterday afternoon. It seems that Averv had gotten off from duty and was returning home when he nassed near the bam an» saw a string of oars. He boarded one of thesp cars and v/as either knocked off bv a tel egraph pole while leaning from the car or lost his grip and fell. He was badly crushed bv the wheels. The re mains were carried to an undertak ing establishment, where they were prepared for burial. They werp sent to Roanoke, where the burial will be held." Mr. Green J. Avery with a brother, Mr. Needham Avery, conducted a clothing establishment in Gaffnev a few years ago and were both im mensely popular, and the news of this death will oonie as * surprise and a blow to many. 4 Sad Death.

In a game, thp principle feature of which was long and continued kick ing b both sides, the teams represent ing the citv and the Berean Class of the Baptist Sunday school clashed at Limestone park on Friday afternoon. Tho game was called at the end of thp'sixth inning on account of dark ness. although some contended that it was too earlv to call it, which fur nished ample material for more squab- ling. At the end of the fifth inning the score stood five to five, when some one thought it should be called. However, another inning was played, with the result of eight to five in fa vor of the Bereans. on errors bv the infield of the citv team. Another game win be arranged be tween the teams for the deciding of the series at an earlv date. For the fir"- game of the season, with no preparatory practice, the quality of playing put up by the players was good and at times brilliant.

D.. president An Example from Danmark, It is sold that when the police in Denmark find a man helplessly drunk in the streets, they drivp the patient in a cab to a station where he sobers off. Then they take him home. The cabman makes bis chargee, tbe police doctor makes his. the agents make their claim for special dutr: and this bill is presented to tbe land lord of the establishment where the drunkard took the last of the drinks that caused his intoxication. Suppose we should adopt a law of that kind in this country. But what about the official who sells the li cense to the sfetloon-keeper to sell whiskey to the man to mak<> him drunk? And what about the legisla tor who voted for the law to allow the official to sell the license to the sa loon-keeper to sell the whiskev to the man to make him drunk? And what about the Christian who voted for the legislature to vote for <he law to allow the official to sell the license to the saloon-keeper to sell whiskey to the man to make him drunk? Should nothing be done with any of them? Tom Cliance. a young man of Car- rolton, Ga.. aged 19, shot and killed himself because he loved two girls, and could not make up bis mind as to which he preferred. The latest returns from the island of Formosa give the number killed by tbe recent earthquake as 10,087, and the injured at 6,163. in the farm work. Impressed with the idea of having so many promising boys, and with the prospects of a bright future, we were inclined to think that Messrs. Harmon, with his church last Friday night and also Saturday. Rev. Preston is a man whom every one that heard him fell in love with. He preached at the Baptist church where the union met last Sunday night and gave sonre good thoughts girls, and Addis, with his boys, were | the people and they’ ’‘j 11 f ^ in line with those to whom the Psalm ist refers so beautifully in these lines: “Thv wife shall, as a fruitful vine. By thv home side he found: Thv children, like the olive plant, About thv table round.” Next day we reached Cowpens and took dinner with Mr. Charlie Dormon. who overhauled our buggy and did some needed repairing in the style of the first-class workman he is. Mr. Dorman and his father. M. C. Dorman, are tw 0 of The Ledger's Cowpen’s pa*rons. W e found that Mr. M. Arthur Mose- ]y. one of Cowpen’s leading mer chants, has announced his name as a candidate for a seat in the legislature from Spartanburg county. He is an old Union countv boy. raised on ft farm as a laborer and has now reached the position where he, as a tax payer, feels the importance of good and wholesome laws. He has nothing to prompt him io this new venture but that incorrigible ambition which is. and has been, the moving power of all trulv great and useful men. We wish Mr. Mosel r all the success his ambi tion merits. Yesterday we took dinner with Copt W. P. Love, of Love Springs, where we had the pleasure of meeting and forming an acquaintance with his family. Capt. Love is one of Chero kee county's leading men. and tbe springs which bear his name are bis property and are noted for the medici nal properties of their waters. We are told that an analysis has revealed no less than eleven different properties, all of which make it one of tbe most valuable properties, not onlv in Chero kee county, but of the entire Piedmont belt. Besides the mineral properties of the water, the soil bears unmistak able evidences of other minerals, which mav vet prove of inestimable value to its owner. Capt. Love has a vast amount of original forest that is well timbered. This he is taking good care of. A visit to these springs durintr tire hot summer weather will satisfy the most incredulous that we are not over-rating their values. About two years ago Capt. Love sus tained a gree* loss, in the burning of his saw mill and a vast amount of lumber, on which he had no in.s"rance. This was a total loss. Mr. Love Ires one of the most beautiful houses in this county. His children are all well educated for theire age. Besides books, his boys are leiming the pro ductive qualities of ' " soil and the best method of getting results. Mr. and Mrs. Love are both natives of the o 1 North Plate. Just across the line from South Carolina. Last night we spent with Mr. Hen- gret the time thev sit and listened to him if they will only take those thoughts and live bv them. ) Bv the explosure of a lam 4 last Thursday Mr. Flemming McM|st£rs’ house caught on fire.
