One of rhe most interesting public,a- ard we ask the question: “if Mr. Dix on was divinely called to preach the j gosp 01 could he have been divinelv called to renounce ‘ha gospel to write j novels and plays for a plaudent world?” However, it is just as well that Mr. Dixon should take such a step, for as long as he allowed the j prefix to his name so long would he I be a detriment to the work of other consecrated men. * * * O O O 0—0—o—o—o—o—o—o—O Departure of a Landmark.

In the April number we find the following, which is taken from “Sa cred Heart Review:” “Kind words do not cws* much. They are quickly spoken. They do not blis ter *’ tongue that utters them. Tho\ never have to lie renented of. They do not keep us awake till midnight. It is easy to scatter them. And oh. how much good they may do!

The baccalaureate sermon will oc cur on May 27th and wi' 1 be a decid ed event of what will no doubt be a brilliant commencement.

It will help pull un s 1 ’ the roots of passion. It will Rive us a spirit of self-control. It will make the conscience delicat- and the dispo sition gentle. A woman cannot make a habit of sneaking kind words with out. augmenting her own gracious tem per. But better will be their influence upon others.

Re member, kind words can never die.” rand old institution numbers its supporters throughout- the entire South, ,al; of whom are ardent support' erg of anything that tends to help ad vance Limestone. Dr. Lee Davis ix)dge. president of Limestone College, was seen at the college Friday afternoon by Th© Led ger representative, but owing to the fact that all plans for commencement are not vet perfected it was impossi ble for anv other announcement to be made regarding the speakers, etc., for the occasion. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The countv convention yesterday was altogether harmonious. The rou tine business of the convention was conducted in a straightforward busi ness manner, and a 1 ' i n all the outlook for the county democracy is as bright as future prospects could make it. * * * The industrial edition of The Led ger will be issued next Friday. We ar making an earnest effort to make it a representative paper. Already we have several nice ads. in type Merchants or local enterprises who desire to be represented in the ad columns are requested to hand in their copy todav to insure attention. * * * No town In the south has brighter prospects than Gaffney. With the coming of cheap electrical power from Broad river there will he open to us an avenue of development that P' - other town in this community can boast of. It w’ould be well for t Commercial Club to make this subject- the fit's; for consideration when it get^ ready for business. Supreme Court Decision. On May 4th, the Supreme Court handed down an opinion of consider able local interest. It will be remem bered that some years ago an action was begun by the Gaffney heirs against the Southern Railway Compa ny, A. N. W<K>d, Smith Harw-dare Co., Carroll and Carpenter, W. O. Lip scomb and others, to require the re moval of certain buildings from the railway property; to enjoin its use for merchandise purposes and to re quire Mr. Wood and the owners and occupants of said buildings to pay the Giaffnev heirs the rental value of the property for six years past The buildings were removed by the order of the court and the circuit court adjudged that the occupants should pay ;he Gaffney heirs certain sums as rental value, aggregf irg in the whole in the neighborhood of $”,000. Mr. Wood and the other occu pants. by their attorneys. Mess. Butler & Osborne and J. C. Jefferies, carried the case to the Supreme Court an 1 thar court reversed the decision of the lower court- and held that these occupants w-ere not liable either for rental value or for rents and profits of the property occupied by them Fnder this decision the costs of the appeal and a part of the costs of the circuit court will be taxed against the losing parties. The Gaffney heirs were represented by Mess. Bell and Hart, N. W. Hardin, Stanyarne Wilson and W. S. Hall, Jr. A Runaway. A fortunate escape from serious in jury in .a small runaway that had combined with other exeitiing inci dents, almost an attempt at the ludi crous, occurred near Limestone Col lege Friday afternoon. Messrs. Ec- ford Little and Guy Bonner, promi nent and popular young men of the were drivir - * near the college. he had reason to look upon other than as friends. Oddly enough for a dog, Dan has a history. A long and well traveled one and on© that anv dog in this world might well envy. He was the prop erty of Oolorel T. B. Butler, State senator from Cherokee county. It was feared that he had been bitten by a mad dog and it was roo dangerous to take any chances, so he was dis patched. Col. Butler, who looked on Dan almost as a brother, could not witness the act nor hear aught of it. When ;he news was flashed over the city the usual crowds congregate-! on the street corners had no other top ic of conversation. It is still almost the sole tonic and there are many who. when discussing it, are not ashamed to hastily brush their hand to their eyes, for Dan numbered his friends by the score and nine out of ten in the city will express sincere regret when hie passing is discussed. Suspicioning that- Dan had a history that would make interesting reading, I wended mr way b* the office of Co’. Butler, where he was found and in duced to divulge some interesting points about, the *ife and works of the only original Dan. Replying to a question as to Dan’s age, the Colonel placed at very nearly ten. Dan first saw the light of dogdom almost ex actly w r hen the child, Cherokee coun ty burst upon the people of South Carolina. Dan’s entrance occurring almost exactly with the banner county of the State, he was christened Dan, after Col. Dan S. Henderson, then in the senate, who had proved such a friend to the feeble little countv strug gling so hard for a chance to show what Cherokeeans could do. Christ ened Dan. and with the new county to back him, he grew and thrived and proved a friend to Gaffney. He has been .a true friend to ail Gaffney no licemem and sedately walked the streets of the city with them through the darkest and coldest nights. One mark in Dan’s life that he has always been proud of was when Mayor Lit tlejohn was in power in the city he exempted Dan from street- tax on ac count of his valued services to Gaff nev policemen. Many other acts that Dan might well have been proud of are numerous but lack of space pre vents their being mentioned. B.

PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. We would again direct your atten tion to the fact that there is no money expended that will benefit the tax payer more than that money which is judiciously expended on the construct ion of gix)d roads. There is no one thing that is a greater burden on the people than bad roads. These tw< facts should be kept in mind ,and an etfor* made to better the roads of Cherokee. • • • Mr. Jones, of Newberry, who had announced his candidacy for governor, and who had gone so far as to publish his nlatform. has announced his with drawal from the race, assigning as ' reason verv pressing business engage ments. Mr. Jones was on the right platform, but we fear he was not ag gressive enough to win out, therefore his withdrawal was ttmelv and prop er. • • » We have neglected entirely too long to sav it. but for fear we may forget It altogether, we want to say that the Real Estate edition of the Columbia State, on April 19th, was a splendid piece of newspaoer work.
