A Newspaper In All that the Word Implies and Devoted to the Best Interest of the People of Cherokee County. ESTABLISHED FEB. 16, 1894. GAFFNEY, S. C., TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1906. $1.00 A YEAR. CANDIDATES OPEN AT WILKINSVILLE. PLATFORMS OF CANDIDATES DISCUSSED. Much Enthusiasm Shown Among the Voters and Speakers—Each is En titled to Office. The meetine at Wilkinsville Fri day was -'ell attended consider ing the roads were muddy and the streams up. There was present in all two hundred to two hundred and fiftv people, most of them voters. The meetine: was called to order at 10:30 o’clock a. m. by A. Frank Smith, prefrinct chairman, and the speaking began with the candidates for coroner. To give a full account of what each one had to sav would make this communication immeasurably long and consign the whole to the waste basket. We expected the regular Ledger correspondent to be present to take notes, but he had not arrived and your scribe undertool:' the job, but he finds much he would like to give must be omitted for want of space. John O. Tate was the first speaker called. He quite unwell from a hurt he received by an accident that hap pened him on the way to that place, but w<>s nevertheless in the race and had been before, and would appre ciate the kind support of his friends as heretofore, was an old Confeder ate soldier and had done his duty as he understood it. Joe Reynolds was also an old sol dier. Had served his term and was now incapacitated to make a living bv manul labor. J. T. White was also an old soldier, and came home with three wounds. Had done his duty and would appre ciate the votes of the people fo- the office of coroner. He had never been a witness in court nor had a law'suit in his life. J. M. Allison was in the race for the second time. w r as an old soldier but was not running on his war record. Wasn’t going to plead pauperism. Thinks he is as much entitled to the office as any of his competitors. J. S. Vinesett w'as pleased to come before the voters for re-election. Was first defeated by Mr. McCraw but was now serving his second term. -He took the office when there was not much in it and thinks he is en titled to it another term. He is now better qualified than ever to manage the office. An old soldier could not undergo all the fatigue necessary in performing the duties at some times. Works for his living w r hen not on of ficial duty. Runs a dray wagon. Was not an old soldier but is not respon sible for that for he came here just as soon as he could. Dr. M. W. Smith was on his old stamping ground and among the scenes of his younger and better days. Has been in the public service all his life and can. and will discharge all the duties of the office if elected, when the election is over he will join his friends in singing “The year of jubilee has come, etc.” Supervisor.—J. V. Whelchel thank ed the voters of Wilkinsville for their support in the l>ast and hoped to merit it again. Record of his official acts was before the public. It was the board of county commissioners who bought the road machinery and he was powerless to have it other wise. He did his best to give good roads and discharge the other duties of the office in an upright humble way and perhaps had made mistakes as other people. No man is perfect and can please everybody at ail times. William (Chris) Phillips. Was be fore the people for re-election. Had filled the office for a year and a half and had done the best for the people he could and with his experience could do more and better if elected. Was running on his own merits and not the demerits of his competitors if they had any. The chaingang can’t do anything in wet weather and can’t fill all the holes in the roads at one time. Has done all he '"Uld to pro tect the interest of the county and was willing for his official record to be inspected to verify that state ment. E. F. Lipscomb. It was his first visit to W’ilkinsvllle. Would give his Whole time to the duties of the office and see that the best interest of the county was protected. Would get more and better work- out of the chaingang. Was in favor of having the best road it was possible to give with the means at disposal. Probate Judge.—G. W. Speer. Don’t believe in one man holding office always. Office can’t be conducted without knowledge of law. and he had a sufficiency of that, he thought. Had nothing against either of his competitors* and wished to treat them right. W. D. Thomas. Didn’t know that he needed introduction to people of Wilkinsville. Was qualified as much so as his competitors to till the office. Referred to J. M. Green, of Union county, who has held the office for twelve years acceptably and thinks that it doesn’t require a lawyer to make a probate judge. J. H. Webster. Gave account of the administration of the office and the perplexing duties connected with it; told how estates eoulfi be absorbed in needless litigation by an Incompetent probate judge. His decisions have been sustained by the Supreme Court when taken to that tribunal, which wa a compliment he has reason to be proud of. Didn’t know how oth er probate judges had managed to make larger money than that pro vided bv fee bill. Had always tried to advise persons having business with him so as to save law suits and counsel fees, and had p~ reason to re gret it. Auditor.—G. D. Scurggs had been magistrate for years and was more or less familiar with legal form and the workings of the auditor’s office. Thinks h e can fill its duties properly and will do so if elected. Live’ In the upper section of county. Had never been before the people for a county office outside that of magistrate and his record was open for inspection. Had no fight to make with either of the contestants for the office. Is farming on rented land. Has a fair common school education, ami if elected will treat those having busi ness with the office right. I). Both Hughes was before the peo ple asking for their suffrage and if elected would see that the affairs of the auditor’s office was conducted in a businesslike way. Was too well known at Wilkinsville to be a stran ger and would not take the time for a lengthy speech, hut will give, if elected, the whole of his time to the duties of the office and treat every citizen rightly. W. D. Camn didn’t feel that he was among strangers. Thanked Wilkins ville for the voles they had always given him and made an extended ex planation of the workings of the of fice which it is impossible for us to give even a faint synopsis of. Would give the best servic,> obtainable and have, everything carried on rightly in the office if re-elected. G. B. Daniel, announced his candi- dar - and nledged himself to attend st-’ Uv to th ' duties of th^ office if elected. Had been a candidate before ar ’ thanked the people for their sup port. Treasurer.—W. W. Gaffnev needed no introduction; was one of the most thoroughly read Cherokeean i” the race. Was directly identified with every section of the country, having lived or schooled in all three of the sections. Would attend strictly to the office. Thanked the people for the liberal vote he had heretofore re ceived at Wilkinsville. W. Harry Gooding was too well known to talk but give account of his stewardship and did so. Also thanked Wilkinsville for the vote he had got there. Superintendent of Education.—J. L. Walker felt like he was at home, which he was. Was no speech maker. His was no political office but an ex- utiv*i one and he had done hlc duty to the best of his ability. Wanted the appointment of trustees made by recommendation of the people. Was going to make his canvass in a high plain. No one asked him to run. Ev ery dollar pertaining to the transact ions of his office was accounted for and he could show every transaction to be carried on In good faith. Ar rangements would be made to have hook depositories at convenient places for all the several sections of the county. Gave figures as to af- rairs in the office and defended suc cessfully contradictions of them. J. Virgil McFraw was in the race fop the betterment of the school sys tem. Had refused a better salary than he had been getting to go into a business of his ^wn. Glad to be part of this great country. Forty-one counties knew better what to do than one - two. and for that, reason if we are to have liquor let us have the State dispensary. The newspapers are fighting Ren Tillman and not the dispensary. Some men would cross the Atlantic ocean to get liquor. If ministers and people would work as hard and earnestly for prohibition as thev are .against Ben Tillman" they woind do some good. “I am a Tillman man and admire his pluck, but I don’t admire his cursing ways." They are calculated to weaken him with the better class of people Senate.—W. S. Hall thanked the people of Wilkinsville for their pa tience as shown by them today. He was compelled to work rather than go round making acquaintances. He had taught school ten years but spent most of his life on the farm. Had studied medicine one year. Has no wa r record; fortunately for him was not bor” until after the war. His fu ture is before him and not behind. Did not object to rotation in office. I believe in prohibition but not such a law ag don’t orohibit. W G have abso lute prohibition so far as the law is concerned. It needs the sentiment of the people behind it to guarantee its enforcement. Believes in abolishing State dispensary but won’t say any thing about graft now. It’s nossible for Cherokee county to manage a county dispensary rightly. Refutea the -charge that we can’t get the honest men to mauagje it. Education was dear to his heart. Spent ten years In teaching. Believes in giving more to common schools and common education. Special school taxes will raise money. Must pay teacher^ fair prices to get them. Can’t get them without It. The system of taxes is as about as correct as it can be. Leaves the matter of good roads to the countv commissioners J C. Otts felt like this was near old I ea Ridge. Remembers the many and ’Hnd friends of Wilkinsville. who alwavs stood bv him when he thought a campaign lie would ruin a man. His self-resnect was worth more to him than votes. Helped to make the dis pensary law and hoped It would prove a blessing instead of otherwise. Can’t stand for an institution that ruins. Is for prohibition. If nobodv got drunk we wouldn’t need prohibition. Show nie a man who deals in liquor and I’ll show you one on the road to ruin. Believes In prohibition and nutting down all forms of illegal liquor traffic. Favors better schools and good roads, as we are able to have them. Has served in the lower house of the legislature and constitutional con vention. Wants to see every old sol dier liberally pensioned. This eoun.T gets in round numbers $5,000 for pen sions, and its pro rata part of tne taxes is $3,500. Wants a full vote from his old county and will try to serve them rightly in the senate if elected. Has many things he would like to sav further but will close. Thankin'- the audience for its pa tience he left the matter with them, hoping on the 28th inst. to be remem bered by the voters. Hon. D. E. Finley, candidate for congress, then closed the speaking, giving an account of l.is stewardship and comnlimenttng the people for their patience and long suffering and for the unamimous vote Wilkinsville gave him in the past. The meeting then adjourned. J. L. S. Row at Mabry’s Mill. At Mabry’s Mill Saturday the coun ty campaign oarty held forth. While Mr. J. C. Otts. a candidate for the State senate, was speaking one of the auditors asked him a question con cerning his father, who died while Mr. Otts was a mere hoy. This brought forth a tart reply from Mr. Otts to the effect tbit he had nrose- cuted a brother of his interrogator for stealing cotton and ’’"d run him out of the State. This precipitated a rucus, exaggerated accounts of which have been sent to (he daily press of the State. The Ledger had no representative on the field, and Mr. Otts is authority for the state ment that the reports sent out were incorrect and somewhat exaggerated. In order that the public may have a correct understanding of the matter The Ledger interviewed two repre sentative citizens who were present, neither of whom were personally con cerned in the affair, and we give their version of it. which was as follows; The first gentlemrn said: “The row started by a question being asked Mr. Otts concerning his father. I only saw one knife and heard one pis tol shot and the man who is said to have shot the pistol is the man I saw with the knife. He is a Union county man. I did not see more than ten men trying to fight, and they were kept apart by friends. I onlv saw one fisticuff. These were easily parted and there was no more fight ing. The whole thing was caused by a ju <r of whiskey. This whiskey was not being sold, but belonged jointly to three or four men, who took it down there to have a good time and to treat their friends, and they simply took on too much. In other words, they didn’t distribute enough of it among their friends." The second gentleman said: "The meeting went along about as all po litical gatherings until after dinner when Mr. Otts, candidate for the sen ate spoke, and as he was leaving the speakers stand (a wagon) he was asked a question by a bystander and Mr. Otts replied to him which seem ed to provoke him and he began to curse some and showed fight, and some of his friends endeavored to k-eep them apart, which was done, and several men began to take sides, two from that section used their fists in a small “bout.” which was soon stopped, and while they were fighting a Union countv man pulled his pistol and made an unsuccessful effort, to shoot another man from that section. Some friends held his hand and the pistol was taken from him and after that the sheriff took charge of the offender and peace was restor ed with the exception of some curs ing. which soon died down. I only saw one knife and the party could have used same had he desired very anxiously. No one was cut and the onlv damage done was some clothes were torn a little. In short it was “much ado about nothing," and in all a very unfortunate affair from reports th.it have gone out the affair has been greatly exaggerated. Ledger Man at Wilkinsville. The Ledger staff man went down to Wilkinsville on Friday, the date for tue numerous candidates for office in Cherokee county to hold forth at that place, but on account of muddy roads experienced on the way and too much barbecue after he arrived, he was un able to give the speaking tb« atten tion it deserved at his hands. He was fortunate enough, however, to meet Col. J. L. Strain, well known as “J. L. S ,” who as The Ledger scribe at Wilkinsville delights our readers each issue with his readable and in teresting news notes combined with much sensible comment and aut quo tations on varied subjects. Col. Strain, when informed of the indispo sition of the newspaper man, consent ed to “cover” the speeches of the campaign, while The Ledger man could sit in the shade of the trees and see what was happening. Col. Strain’s write-up of the speeches proper is presented in another column. Many interesting things were observed be fore the writer started for Gaffney but almost the entire lot were trivial things and not worthy of mention. A tremendous crowd had arrived yn the scene to enjov the remarks of the candidates, to eat barbecued meat and to discuss the campaign fljenerally. Wagons, carry-alls and buggies dotted the hillsides and completely covered th G few level places all around the spring where the candidates were speaking and near where the barbe cue was being served. The only thing that seemed at all exciting other than the remarks of the different speakers was a spat that was never anything else, although at one time it s^med likely to develop into a full grown scrap. Two or three young men present indulged H a few loud words and at one stage of the game seemed to consider a fight as th~ nrooer thing, but they wisely re considered and it did not occur. A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE, MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of that Section. Wilkiiysville, Aug. 2.—The iron clad rules preventing candidates from treating is no doubt as embarrassing to some of them as it is a disappoint ment to their friends who expect to be the beneficiaries of their greeting. The best thing we ever heard yf along this line took place in Union county several years ago while Mr. .las. B. Lancaster was a candidate for auditor in that county. At one of the campaign barbecues a fellow came to Mr. Lancaster and wanted him to give him his dinner. Mr. Lancaster said: “My friend, I w’ould be glad to do so, but I am a poor man and haven’t got the money. But let me tell you what to do. and it will be all right. My opponents are rich fnen and have plenty of monev and you go to some of them and thev will give you your dinner, but you vote for me all the same.” The fellow w’ent off perfectly satis fied and the next time Jim saw him he was at the table eating and he looked at Jim and winked, a^. much as to say: “You are all right—I’ll vote for you.” Mr. Morgan Millwood, our cham pion watermelon raiser, has our thanks for a fine melon. “Morg” is all right. What he don’t know about raising fine melons is torn out of the book. He can raise them on 'land that nobody else would plant. H ■ has at least 300 ripe melons on hand now. When you see a melon marked “M.” you may know its one of “Morg’s.” Notwithstanding the muddy roads, Mr. Clary, the R. F. D. mail carrier, makes his trips on schedule time to Wilkinsville regularly. Mr. Malcom Lowery is equally prompt in th« dis charge of his duty on Wilkinsville route No. 1. Its estimated by those in position to know best, that Cherokee county will cast 8.200 votes at the coming primary election, and that Wilkins ville precinct will cast 175 of them. Rev. L. R. Gaines has just closed a very satisfactory series of meetings at Rehoboth church, and it is «> great pleasure for us to note that Mr. Jes se J. Mabry, aged ninety-one years, is among those w-ho made a profes sion of religion. “Uncle Jesse” is one of the oldest white citizens of Cherokee county, and it will be a great pleasure to his many friends to hear this announcement. H© has always been a man of firm convic tions. and stood ready to defend The weak against the strong— The right against the wrong. He scarcely ever had a difficulty with a neighbor on his own account, but has ever stood ready to take the part of those who were unable to take care of themselves when they were in the right as he saw it. lu his day it took “much of a man’’ to do anything with him In a fisticuff. He was strong, active and brave. No man has a greater contempt for a low down, dirty, cowardly act than Jesse J. Mabrv. Recently we took occasion to speak of drunk men. We haven't seen but one man in several months who had taken too much liquor. It was in Gaffnev last Monday. He. we think, cam© in on the train but was '"ise enough to take one of the less fre-. quented streets where he was reason ably safer from the vigilant pickets of Mayor J. Q. Little. We were in company with a citizen of the town. The fellow claimed every side of the street. He enquired if we knew where Mr. — lived. But neither of us could give him the desired infor mation. He was going out towards the Irene Mill. We wanted to tell him if he would see some of the city police they could kindly show him Mayor Little’s office. Next day we overtook him two miles this side of town and asked him of he found his friend. He said he had found out that he lived down this wav some five or six miles. He was sober, but he had his little grip sack all the same and said he lived in Georgiy It wouldn’t be fair to charge this case of drunkenness to a Gaffney blind tiger. A strai ger who knew no bet ter might have taken him as an ad vertisement of the town, but he was not. We didn't ask his name—-didn’t care to know. The political pot is begininK to boil, and soon the State from the seaboard to the mountains will be a seething mass of political excite ment. The passions and prejudices of men will be appealed to. to win where better methods should control events. As long as such methods nrevaii we mav look for no change In the current of affairs. Wisdom, discretion and uprightness are not at all times the controlling influenc es bv anv means. Like begets like. As long as corrupt measures prevail we win have corrupt men in office— the two are inseparably connected. These reflections bring us to a point we can’t pass by with impurity: In our free government the choice of all rules either immediately or remotely depends on the people. This right of electing our own repre sentatives is a great and precious privilege for which our forefathers fought, and which is bequeathed to us sealed by the blood of thousands. It is the full enjoyment of this right which distinguishes the citizen from the subject; which exalts the free man in our country above the abject, insulted, degraded slave in another. But is not this right criminally pros tituted among us? What is the pri mary qualification which is ordina rily sought in the candidate for pub lic office? Do we attend to the ad monition contained in the book of eternal truth? "He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in fear of the Lord.” Have we pursued the maxim delivered by the wisest of men, and the most magnificent and prosperous of princes;—"Righteous ness exalteth a nation”—and offered our suffrage for those who in private life were patterns of righteousness, and as rulers would probably use their influence in promoting it among others? Have we not more generally enquired, “Where is the decided, ar dent partisan; the man who will most zealously adhere to that political sec tion to which we belong,” without regard to moral, or religious, or even intellectual qualifications? In the warmth of party spirit have we not contributed to the advancement of those who were the known enemies of religion, and have allowed themselves to indulge in slandering its minis ters falsely? We bear our testimony against the promotion of unprincipled, immoral, impious men as a most aggravated iniquity in our land; and we believe, as firmlv as w© believe our existence, that without speedy and special ref ormation on our part, this insult to the Lord of hosts will bring wrath tpon our nation, “until both of our ears will tingle.” Are we not most solemnly fore warned that when righteous men are in authority the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule the land mourn- eth. Besides the election of men to public office who are destitute of mor al rectitude is impolite in the ex treme, and puts in jepordy our most important interests as citizens. Let a man’s zeal, profession, or even principles as to political meas ure. be what they may, if he is with out personal integrity and private virtue he is not to be trusted. We think we have had instances of men who have roared in taverns for lib erty and been most noisy in public meetings, who have become traitors in a little time, Suffer us here to make another re mark: With what judgment or jus tice will laws against immorality be made, or with what vigor will they be executed, bv those who are pro fane or immoral in their own prac tice? Let us supose a judge on the bench of justice, alministening an oath to a witness or passing the sen tence of death upon a c’-ninal and putting him <n mind a judgment to come. With what p op. 3tv. dig L nity or force can any o» ihese be done bv one who is known to be a blasphemer, an infidel, or bv whom in his convivial hours everything serious or sacred is treated with scorn? What are our seasons of elections but seasons of distractions and def amation. by which the passions of each other are inflamed? What lib erties are frequently taken in re proaching public men. and misrepre senting public measures? Does not Holy Writ explicitly forbid the in dulgence d)f hatred, variance, emula tion. wrath and evil speaking? An untender, unforbearing spirit is al ways inexcusable, but it is peculiarly offensive when chierished by those who are citizens of the -"'me common wealth; whose civil and social inter ests are intimately blended together. When spite and jealousy pervade ev ery class of society it extinguishes every spark of mutual confidence anad proves equally reproachful and runious. This mav be termed a quasi lecture, a sermon or an exhortation, as our readers choose to denominate ft. but if they will read the books of Jere miah and Amos thev will find the ground-work of it all. and more, too. that is equally applicable under the circumstances. W- are informed by Mr. Malcom Lowery, our mail rider, that the bridge across Gilkey creek at the Jim Burgess ford is damaged by the high water. Broad river is up about sev enteen and a half feet above common water. We favor the election of township commissioners by the people just as the other county and State officers are chosen. J. L. S. The Mayor Fines Himself. Mayor Little and Chief of Police Lockhart had a misunderstanding Sat urday night in which the lie was passed. This precipitaed a flstcuff which finally involved Policemen Aus tell and Lemons, who made an ef fort to quell the disturbance. No se rious damage resulted. Mayor Little yesterday morning plead guilty in his own court and fined himself $5.00 for the part he took In the affair. He then preferred charges against Mes srs. Lockhart, Austell and Lemons, who plead not guilty. Their trial was set for this morning, when they will be tried by either Mayor pro tern Spears, the entire counsel, or a jury, as they may elect. Mr. Pollock Withdraws. The following telegram relative to Mr. Pollock’s withdrawing from the congressional race was received yes terday afternoon by Capt. J. B. Bell, county chairman of the Democratic convention: Cheraw, S. C.. Aug. 6. 1906. Hon. J. B. Bell. County Chairmaa, Gaffney, S. C. Please announce my withdrawal from congressional race, as contained in Sunday papers. Give to county pa pers. W. P. Pollock. Things Theatrical. The theatrical season is almost up on us and in a few short weeks now everyo*--' 8" inclined will be turning their stops theatre ward when the shades of evening have gathered and cares and Pleasures of the flay are dispensed with. The local play house for the sea son of 1906-’07 will be under the man agement of its lessee, Mr. S. A. Schloss. and his general representa tive, Mr. Marx S. Nathan, who Is manager of the Academy of Music in Charlotte, who was In the city several days last week assisting in prepara tions for the opening of the season in Gaffney. Ip a conversation with a Ledger oian he said that he foresaw a most successful season for this cltv. as the management had already a large number of the very best attract- ions in the business booked for Gaff ney. Among the number he men tioned the reporter was Florence Davis. Tlie Clansman, Lyman Twins, Rip Van Winkle, The Tw<> Orphans, Denver Express, King of Tramp, and a large number of equally as popular attractions. This will be welcome news to theatre patrons of this cit7. as w r ell as the announcement that much work in under way toward plac ing the beautiful theatre building In ideal condition for the onenln^ not far distant. New sets of stage furni ture. etc., has been purchased, as well as a curtain, and carpets for the floors of the house. It has b*»«n care fully gone over under the super vision of Mr. Marx Nathan and thoroughly cleaned. GhanrVs and additions have been made in the seating arrangements of the balcony that is an innovation that wiU be of much comfort and convenience to the patrons. Reserved seats on sale in advance this season can be found at the Cherokee Drug Company, where they will be placed the usual ad vanced time by the management. Another matter in connection with the theatre that our local merchants and other business men will doubtless he interested in win be advertising with the house programme for the sea son. This *' r ogramme. with its adver tising. will be gotten up in ’he near future, it will be a very artistic one and no doubt will contain a" adver tisement from all the business houses of the city. A Card from Dr. Anderson. To the Voters of the Democratic Party of Cherokee County: While I felt, and still feel, grateful to you for the very complimentary vote you gave me in last year’ s elect ion. appreciating most, s i nce relv the confidence ^,own in and the honor conferred upon me, and while for these reasons I deemed It my duty to off^r to serve you again in th- legis lature, yet. on account of the serious and prolonged illness of the two nearest and dearest members of my family—niy wife and mother—it did seem that my duty to them would prevent me from even showing a wil lingness to serve my St He and county. However, since the death of mv mother and the improved state of my wife’s health, and upon the urgent solicitation of a number of my friends, I felt that I could have no valid excuse for holding back any longer, so announced myself as a candidate for re-election to House of Representatives, subject to the pri mary election.

A scientific writer upon stomach troubles says: “If you have ever suf fered from indigestion—and who has not?—your imagination has probably pictured a ferocious little imp danc ing in the Pit of your stomach caus ing that organ to neglect all of its duties, with a result that is not only painful but fills you with misery from day to day.” This writer cer tainly had suffered with indigestion, for there is no more disagreeable, nerve-racking and sick-all-over dis ease than indigestion. A great many people who have been treated for years for diseases of the heart, liver or kidneys, when they used Miona stomach tablets found that not onlv did Miona cure the stom ach disorder, but it made them well all over and the other troubles were also cured. If you suffer with nerveousness, sleeplessness, indigestion, sick ner- veous headache, pains in the back or sides, get a 50c box of Ml-o-na tab lets from Gaffnev Drug Co. and take one of the little tablets before each meal. It will do you a woril of good and you will soon he well and free from indigestion, and its symptoms. Gaffnev Drug Co. have so much faith in this medicine that they -ive an absolute guarantee with every box. Ask them to show you this guarantee. —All wagons sold at cost during month of August.
