Application for a Charter to Be Made
to the Citv Council.
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.

Messrs. Humphries and Mr. McArth

with the business interests of Gaff
ney, are exceptionally good citizens
and '» e can ill spare them. The I>“d
