Active preparations are now under way for the shipment of tin from the Rosa tin mine, one mile northeast of the city, and in a very short while car* of this valuable ore will be shipped across the ocean, where it will be utilized. Mining Superintend ent Wedlock arrived in the city yes terday, and shortly after his arrival left for the mine, where he will com mence at once to extract the almost priceless ore and ship it to he smelt ers in England. Mr. Wedlock is an exnerienced miner, having been en gaged in tin mining in the famous mines of Cornwall, England. The Ross tin mine became famous shortly after i1» discovery for the abundance of tin it contained. It is r< cognized as the most successful mine In the the United States; in fact this country possesses but few. and these cannot | cope with the CalTnev mine. Several cars of ore have been shipped, and though pumping, etc., has steadily progressed, none lias been extracted | for some time. The mine is controlled 1 entirely bv the Ross Tin Mine Com-i pany.

Redmond died near Seneca Saturday after a most eventful career. Twenty years (igo Redmpnd was con sidered the most notortous mooushin- f in the South. Hi* was known all over the country and made his "con traband” just as he pleased. He was finally arrested and after trial was sentenced to a term of years in United States prison. He was taken to the Peder a ] prison in Albany, N. Y., and remained there for som^ years. He was pardoned by Persident Cleveland. Since he regained his freedom he has led a peaceful and law-abidin" life. Ho was about sixty-five years old. Dr. Nicholls, a dentist of Enoree, has been missing from his home since last.

The Woman’s Literary Club will meet, with Mrs. Rountree Moiday evening at 4:30 p. m., instead of Thursday, as has been heretofore an nounced. A large attendance is earn estly requested. The money for the electi#n expen ses yf last September has been re ceived by G. W. Speer, and those en titled to it can receive same by calling on him. This election cost South Car olina just $170. The Wesleyan Methodists, who have heretofore conducted their services in a ball on Gnanard street, will worship in a storeroom on Limestone street in the future. Tills storeroom has been commonly designated as the Durham store. A white man was arraigned before Magistrate Bridges Saturday on a charge of dealing illegally in liquor. The alleged transactions took place in the suburbs of the city. The case was one of small importance and was com promised. Rev. C. F. Felmat reports that con siderable progress in being made in tlie matter of securing subscriptions for the new Baptist, church at Grassy Pond. It is proposed to build a $2,009 brick building and already about $1,300 has been subscribed. Dr. J. C. Creech lias bought the house and lot on Frederick street - for merlv occupied by Mr. J. Q. Little as a residence. The property was pur chase' from Mr. Little and the con sideration was one that indicates that there is no decline in the value of Gaffnev dirt. The following young ladies of Gaff nev and Cherokee have been honored bv selections as sponsor and maids of honor for Jake Carpenter Camp, U. C. V., at the reunion in Columbia: Miss Annie Snead, sponsor, and Misses Ruth Sarratt and Lula Borders as maids of honor. Those in charge of the enterrain- ment to be given by the Gaffnev Mu sical Club, which has been advertised for Friday evening, announce that, on account of conflicting dates, the en- tei tainment will not be given on that date, but will he postponed until Tues day evening, April 24th—tonight one week. Two small negro hoys figured in an unusual case before Magistrate C. T. Bridges vesterdav. They were accused of having a desire for eggs to cele brate Easter with by having them dyed for the occasion. Having no eggs on hand, thev appropriated some for , use, as a result of which thev paid ,a small fine and were released. A series of meetings commenced last evening at th P Cherokee Avenue Baptist church. Rev. L. R. Pruitt, of Charlotte, will assist the pastor, Rev. G. P. Hamrick. This series will no doubt l)o productive of much good in ! the com munit. - Lours of service will | be 3 I*. iVi. and 8 P. M. A large at- I tendance is looked fop at thede ser- | vices. | Mr. E. C. Cooksey, local manager j of the Postal Telegraph compay, has ■ been notified that his company will transmit fr^e of charge telegrams re lating to subscriptions to the relief fund for the benefit of the stricken neonle of Southern Italy, many of whom are homeless on account of the emotion of Mount Vesuvius, whose re cent eruptions proved so disastrous to ! thousands. This excepts transfers of money, which can be arranged with the hanks. Rev. W. T. Thompson had a birthday celebration Sunday, which was a rath i er enjoyable affair, all of his children being present for the occasion It won'' no* do for us to indicate what period was passed, as there Is a pos sibility (although the probability is slight) of his some day becoming a widower, in which even* the publica tion of ills age might mitigate to his disadvantage. The Ledger wishes him many returns of the day. Will Not Postpone Meeting. In last Friday’s Ledger there ap , ami a card from S. M. Bagwell, ask- ini' thni the union meeting of the | northern section of the Broad River Association be cancelled in order to I "ive vva/ io the Sunday school conven- I ti< •' to be hold at Goucher Friday and Saturday before the fifth Sunday. The Ledger is requesed to state that the meeting of the Broad River Associa tion will not be postponed, bu{ that delegates will be apoplnted from the various churches and Sunday schools in this section to attend both meet ings. The Board of Directors Are Prominent Business IVh»n Who Command Cap ital and Who Wj|| Push the Project. The Cherokee, Union and Spartan burg Railroad is an assured fact. It has separated itself from a dim and unreal may-be to a glorious reality, and the hopes of Gaffney and Cher okee for a railroad from this citv to sorcip point in North Carolina are just On the verge of being realized. The legislature of South Carolina, at its session of 1903, granted a charter for the building of this road. I* was at EASTER SERVICES. An Interesting Program Entertain ingly Rendered. Raster services on last Sabbath at the Buford Street Methodist Church were elaborate and well executed in a manner that, evoked commendation from ali in attendance. Large con gregations wore in attendance at both morning and evening services. At the morning service the mortgage on the parsonage was burnt, while the con gregation arose and sang a singularly appropriate hymn, “Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flows.” At the evening service the Sunday school presented a beautiful service, “Nature’s Awakeniugi” The .splendid manner in which this was rendered was the subject of much comment. The thoroughness with which the children had been instructed was the result of careful training by Super intendent W. C. McArthur, Miss Lou ise Sarratt and Mrs. A. M. Johnson. The programme was as follows: Nature’s Awakening. Song, “A March Across M eado w s ’ ’—Sc liool. Prayer of Welcome—Pastor. GREEN AND GAYNOR PRONOUNCED GUILTY.

On that date, however, there was a meeting of the corporators held in Gaffney, at which time an organization was en tered into and effected bv the elec tion of the following board of direct ors: A. N. Wood. T. E. Moore, J. C. Otis, T. B. Butler and W. C. Ham rick. Subsequently the Board of Directors held a meeting and elected A. N. Wood president and treasurer, and W. C. Hamrick vice-president anf! sec retary. T. B. Butler and J. C. Otts were elected attorneys for thp road, with instructions to begin at once se curing rights of wav for the proposed road along two or more routes be tween Gaffney and the North Caro lina line, on the north and west side of Gaffney: also on the south and east side of it. The purpose ^f these active and en ergetic preparations for starting at once is to build a railroad from Gaff nev to some point on the North Car olina line, connecting there with an outlet through the mountains of West ern North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, and from Gaffnev south to the coast. The foregoing announcement will he hailed with delight by Gaffueyites and Cherokeeans who have watched the scheme grow and foster under careful tutoring for some time. The firs* thought and hope of these have been since the subject was first broached that it should speedily reach a successful termination. The acme of their hopes is now almost reached, and it is safe to sav that it will be [ soon demonstrated by the roar of the cars on the road that has heretofore existed, as some exchange has sar- ' casticallv hinted at. only in the news naners and in t‘n e minds of its pro moters. A prominent North Carolina capital ist w’ - is intensely interested in the venture, while in the citv a short tinip ago, was very much enthused over it. and in an interview with the writer stated thar there was no doubt that North Carolina was earneslv ad vocating the cause, as she had voted bonds entirely to the South Carolina line, and that it was then up to South Carolina. The meeting held in this citv a few days ago shows how South Carolina, and Gaffnev especially, has responded to the call, and no doubt these South Carolinians wil] see to it that when the North Carolinians reach the line with the road they will be I ri\ef and royally welcomed by loyal citizens from Gaffney. Cherokee, and South Carolina as a whole, i The road is a question that appeals ! to all thinking citizens, and the pos- I sibilities that lie hidden in it for j Gaffnev are diumerons. Ii is probable ] that a connection will be madt with another line and a thoroughly modern service will doubtless he the result. The Board of Directors are among the most prominent business men in j this section. They are men of cap- j ital. and command the respect of cap-1 itaiists.

Gaynor were found guilty by the jury in Savannah Thursday and the case which has dragged its weary length through fourteen weeks was ended. They were charged with conspiracy against the government, and present ing false claims and embezzlemeat The verdict simply said “guilty,” with no modifications nor recommendations. The minimum sentence is two years, the maximum seventeen, and a fine of $575,000. There was a tense moment in court when the jury, after nearly four hours’ debate, returned. The judge sentenced both men to serve four years each in the Federal Prison in Atlanta and to pay a fine equivalent to the amount embezzled from the government, something over $>75,000. If, a t the expiration of their term in the Penitentiary, they make aifidavi* that, they are not worth more than $20 the fine will be remitted. They will be allowed three months reduction of the sentence each year on account of good behavior, virtu ally reducing their sentence to three years. Judge Speer thanked the jury and told them that they had set a ^iew record and the country had every reason to b P proud of them. The jury thanked the oflicers ot the court for their consideration anJ kindness. Judge Speer said that he had no wish to be hard on these un fortunate men but to give them jus tice and be merciful and do his duty under the law. There are other cases against sev eral parties for complicity in the frauds, these may he brought to trial as soon as the court takes a breath. A Barn Burned. An alfirm that rapidly spread through the city ocurred Saturday night, when a barn, the property of Mr. M. L. Ross, was discovered com pletely enveloped in Haines. The barn was situated in the rear of his resi dence on Logan street, and an im mense crowd quickly gathered at the sceiK. Before any effective means of coping with the fire could be brought into play the flames had gained such headway that it was im possible to check their progress. The barn was an entire loss, including a quantity of fodder and corn. Several horses stabled in the barn were saved although their escape was a narrow one. , The merry-go-round is near the scene of the fire, and the continued blowing of its whistle added greatly to the alarm. A number fired revol vers to arouse the people. Many hear" ing the noise of the explosions thought a pitched battle was in progress and viewed the conflagration from a dis tance. No Change in Telephone Rates. Mr. J. N. Lipscoml), president of the Gaffnev '’telephone Company, stated to a Ledger man shortly after his return from his Asheville trip, that he was in abte to state anything definitely for publication in regard to the telephone situation, yet in reply to a ouestiwn from the reporter as to what the rate would be in the future, replied that it would be $2.5d for business phones as called for bv ihe amendment which.it will he remembered, was revoked by the .present council. He went on to sav that it wa« impossible to conduct the present business for less than $2.50 for business phones. When asked if lie knew anything of ihp rumor that the Bell Telephone Company were RX- dinglv anxious to enter Gaffney he said he knew nothing about it. He did say, however, that if the Bell did en ter they would charge more than $1.50, ihe present price for residence ohones and the previous price for bus iness phones. given the names of Hyprocites and Sin" . ners.
