No one will deny that the prospects for an electric street railway for Gaff- nev are brigrter when The Ledger informs the public that Mr. J. C. Jeff eries. of the Gaffney liar, h.as been requested to prepare an application for a franchise from the city council for an electric line and that Capt. H. I). Wheat, the head and shoulders of the Irene Mill, is at the head of the enterprise. Such is the case, and Mr. Jefferies will prepare the .application at once and present it to the city council at its next regular, or per haps a call meeting, to be held some time soon, it is the idea of the pro motors to make this a combination passenger and freight line. We have not been informed as to the scope but should the project succeed it will not only operate in Gaffney hut will he carried to one or more neighbor ing towns. It is to be hoped that the authori- ities will grant a very liberal fran- chige, as it would he of very great benefit to Gaffney if the enterprise should l>e carried to a successful ter mination. There is no denying the fact that Gaffney has .a great future before her. No town in South Caro lina is growing faster and the devel opments of the water power in close proximity, which is now going on, makes the outlook exceedingly bright for this place. By ail means let us have the street railway. i THE STETSON The Hat is the most important item of a man’s attire. It makes or mars his appearance.
