Locals and Personals From That Prosperous Section. Ravenna, Ofct. 1<1.—After beinq housed up for some time past on ac count of the rainy weather, your cor respondent, believing that Sunday was going to he a fair day, arose early and began to search for some place he could attend religious services, and at last arrived at the beautiful church at Goucher, where Mr. E. R. Goforth, superintendent of the school, is doing a noble work. He had a well prepared speech, which he delivered with a loud, clear voice, and we believe all present enjoyed it. Miss Ella Brown has charge of the music in this school and she played some beautiful music, which is a feature of this school. One tiling noticeable in this Sabbath school is, all attending seem to take .a deep interest in the music. Mr. Felix Littlejohn is quite sick with typhoid fever. Mrs. Ketura Gregory, of Gaffney, is at the home of her father, Mr. E. F. Littlejohn, very low with fever. We a’’ wish our neighbor a speedy re covery. Mr. Luther Guthrie, who was con siderably injured some time past, is again able to be out of doors. Mr. Lamar Littlejohn, after being confine '' to hi; >ed for several weeks with fever, is able to sit up again. Mr. Floyd K. Goforth, of Gaffney, spent Sunday here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. K. R.

Lipscomb. Mr. Victor Foster, of Ausbury, has ar-eepted a position with H. S. Lip scomb. at Pacolet. Mr. W. C. Goforth and E. D. Spake, as usual, visited their best girls Sun day night. Mr. Grover Bryant, of White Plains, was at Spake & Son’s blacksmith shop one dav last week, having his horses shod. While in town Mr. Bryant took no little pains inquiring who your cor respondent was at this place. Mr. and Mrs. B. G. L. Pettit spent Sunday last at Goucher, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Brown and family. Mrs. Lillian Payne, of Gastonia. N. C.. is spending ,a few days here with her grand mother, Mrs. C. E. Kitchens. Mr. W. S. Spake is quite feeble at this writing, but we hope he will soon regain his strength. -Mrs. Kate Bragg, of Union was bur ied at Brown’s Chappel church yester day at noon. Mrs. Bragg had many relatives here and quite a crowd at tended the burial services, which were conducted by Rev. F. C. Felmet, former pastor of the deceased. Cotton picking is receiving the at tention of the farmers at present and some of our farmers are paying $1.00 a dav for hands to help them gather the fleecy staple. Messrs. J. B. Brown and H. D. Mathis are very busy these days mow ing pea vine and crab grass hay. We believp our section will make an extra larg" crop of hay this year. Ear.y risers Sunday morning saw the frost in low places, btit we hear of no damage it did here. We hope the editor of The Ledger w soon get some one to cut his stove wood for him. if it Lakes him a week to cut enough for one meal. May The Ledger and its editor pros* r °r p Southern Wealth. During the past six years the total , exports of raw cotton from the United $2,071,000,000. This is equal to 23 Per cent, of our total exports in that period. In addition to cotton the South contributes largely to th<* vol time of other exports, and it is a safe estimate that from 27 to 30 D er cent, of all the exports from the United StHes since 1000 have originated south of Mason and Dixon’s line. Considering that the population of the cotton pro duflng States do not comprise over 16 Per cent, of the total of the UntMd . States, it is plain that the Soutlfw j furnishing nearly twice its propor- i tionate share of exports, and per con- I tra. is receiving a larger percentage j of new wealth than other producing sections There is no mystery about j the South’s prosperity. It stands as the most favored section of the Un ion today and. best of all. it is pro grossing along solid and substantial lines. When the South begins to at tract, its share of superior immigra Don some of the older Middle and North Atlantic States will have to look to their laurels. The develop ment to date Is merely an indication of what may he anticipated Ip the near future. A NEWSY LETTER FROM WILKINSVILLE, MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE.

Mr. and Mrs. Wade Prid- more are both in bed with bilious fever. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Poole are both unwell and Mr S. F. Estes has had a severe attack this week. Mrs. John Poole and child have chills, and there is no end to the other complica tions we hear of. Miss Rebecca Howe, of Hickory Grove, is lying very low, with no prospect of recovery. What effect the recent Frosts will have on the state of health is a mat ter of cojecture with many who claim to know. We do not. Mr. James G. Garner, whose name we frequently mention and cite as authority, says that the reason Mrs. Jeff George’s family, who live at the Granny Me Kown place, have had so much sick ness of late years is on account of the large oak tree which once stood near her well being cut down several years ago. The roots rotted out. thus forming aqueducts by which the sur face water is conveyed into the well. This is good logic, whether it is the real cause or not. Mr. George also says that a tree has just as many roots as it has limbs, except the bush, and it has about four times as many. Mr. F. A. Goforth attended the meet ing of the farmers’ association at Or angeburg last week and returned home Tuesday ver/ unwell, and called in the doctor to treat his case. He is, we are Klad to say, much better now. Mr. Robert E. Enloe, of Wilkins ville. has been in this section this week running a mower—cutting hay and peavines. The Wilkinsville ginnery, which has had a breakdown for several days, started yesterday and is now doing ^ood work. Our friend and neighbor, Mr. W. C. Kirby, happened to an accident last Tuesday which came near bein" a se rious affair, and it was very painful, too. He had a piece of the oil mill machinery he was hauling to roll off the wagon and strike him on the head, cutting a severe gash and knocking him senseless for a while. Mr. Geo. Lemaster. who was near by. came to him and gave him such assistance as he could render. However, he (Mr. Kirby) made his trip on to Gaffney, whither he had started, and then got neccessarv medical attention, and he is doing very well, we are informed. Mr. James G. Garner and vour cor respondent made a trip to Gaffnev yes terday on business, and while there Mr. Garner was attacked with a ‘'buck ague,” which rendered ’aim un able to return home until late in the afternoon. We reached home at 9 o’clock P. M.. .and your corespondent had the mishap to fall over the wagon tongue and picked himself un with a skinned shin, a sprained wrist, a mashed thumb and a bloody face. Of course Mrs. J. L. S. and Miss Ethel were on the spot almost in a trice and rendered such assistance as wo man’s love and ingenuity suggested by using camphor, vaseline, spirits of turpentine and such other rubifacients as promised the most instantaneous relief. Perhaps many of our readers wilj he interested to know how this mishap took place and “it’s up to your correspondent to explain;” Yester day morning as we went on. Aleck Parker came out and. knowing your correspondent to be such a pronounc ed prohibition, applied to Mr. Garner to bring him (Parker) a package from the express office, and said a friend o;i our wav would write an order for its delivery. Of course the fruitful imagination of the readers will supply the rest of the tale. However, we don’t want these pro-dispensary fel lows, and especially John Estes. Ben McCulloch, Vassey Comer, Tillet (Por ter) Hartford and Ross Bratton to know .anything about it But if they, or anv of them do. we hope they will excuse ns and sav nothing about it. Tlie fun of it is Mrs. J. L. S. ( don’t believe we ever had a jug of liquor in our wagon, much leas drank an/ of it. This is wifelike; in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred a man’s wife has more confidence in him than anybody e!se. Ignorance is no crime only when it is made such by - man making an ass of himself by trying to appear extra ordinarily smart. Some of the best people we have are uneducated men and women who can't read nor write their names. But to hear a man who has never even learned Webster’s blue Ixack spelling hook as far a« ba ker. abase or botany, trying to use big words to explain little things to make It appear that ho is well up on the sciences makes us feel sick. For in stance. we once heard one of those smart Alecks speaking to an admir ing crowd about “dehorning” cittle, instead of telling them to cut or knock a cow’s horns off. He and his crowd of hearers knew as little about whit “dehorning” a cow meant as "de tailing” a cow. But is set him up In the estimation of his hearers as a man of ■ reat learning and Ideas all the name —the big word was perhaps the win ning card. We know another man (personally) who at the beginning of "the fanners’ movement” thought there was an opening for him. He attended nearly every meeting he could get to and took a prominent Dart in discussing the various subjects brought before it. We heard this same fellow in speaking of the different species of wheat ca’l the grain “ber ries," when at the same time he would speak of & “year’’ of corn in stead of calling it an ear. But this had no effect in disqualifying him from representing his county in the legislature (but it was not this county nor any part of it). Whoever heard of a grain of wheat or corn being called a berry before? We knew a nreaeher once who had a penchant for picking np big words and using them when he thought the meaning would j fit. On one occasion he was at a | neighbor’s house who was having a stone chimney built. The mason call ed for a large rock which he wanted to put in a certain place. Dolph Har mon. a well educated ante helium school teacher, was present. Dolph was considered authority on all mat ters pertaining to his calling, and anything he said was noted as good grammar. It took four or five men to lift the rock and the preacher and Dolph were two of them. When the mason put it in its place it was a perfect fit, and Dolph remarked that It fit. “superextically.” In his very’ next discourse the ^readier used the very same word, much to the amuse ment and disgust of his more intelli gent hearers. We do not make these allusions in any spirit of ridicule to ward the uneducated people with whom we come in contact almost ev ery clay It would be ungenerous, as well as unjust, to do so. even if we were capable of criticising other peo ple’s short-comings. It is only to checkmate that class of bigots whose biass outweighs their brains, and who set themselves tip as leaders of those whose gullibilitv Is at their command. Some of the best men and women we have are uneducated. Many of them can neither road nor write; yet they take their places in the great arena of life and play their parts with com mendable acumen by never attempt ing to go beyond the limit of their ability. This class in a great meas ure is the very backbone of our coun try. Largely thev are bread-winners for their more fortunate neighbors ami they deserve our thanks, our sympathy and our most fervid friend ship. We were glad to meet our good old friend, Mr. Pink Hollis, at Gaff ney yesterday. He Is a jolly fellow and a well read man. He has Aesop’s fable« by heart and can quote many other authors with the same ease. Like our friend T. Davenport, he is a specific remedy for blues. The farmers’ faces are wreathed in smiles these days—cotton is going up and flour going down. Mr. Noble Blackwell has taken the chills. One of his neighbors has ordered hint a jug of chill tonic from North Carolina. j. l. S. Timeg Have Changed. (Home and Farm.) Many years ago those who lived on farms were content to have the scrub cow and oxen, the dunghill fowl and thn razor-back- hog. Farmers knew of nothing better, and doubtless there was nothing bet ter. considering the attention given them. They had been hardened to exposure and no amount of exposure would kill them. The cows and hogs would stand out in the rain and cohl. and the fowls would roost in the tops of trees; none of them appeared to he the worse from it, hut yet. all of them were hut items of expense if all costs were considered during the year. The cows gave but little milk, tlie hogs were slow to mature and the h n 1- did not lav maijv eggs. As time passed and farmers began to study the profitable side of farm- itig. there came a change aiul the mongrel gradually gave way to the thoroughbred: cattle, hogs, horses and poultry of today are practically new creations developed to fill a (Jemand f"r something better than the world had known before.

The city council met last night in special session to consider the appli cations for charters for an electric railway and to entertain propositions from Mr. Orr, of the Electric and Man ufacturing Co. Rev B. P. Robertson, who has been residing in Baltimore for several years, lias been installed at his new- home in Arcadia, Fla. Mr. Robertson’s many friends in Gaffnev watch his career with interest. The full t effects of the recent frosts can now be seen in Cherokee county. Cotton, late peas and potato vines are a’l kided. The damage to cotton will be in ippreclable, as the cron is —ell advanced, most of it being open. Joe Osborne, who has been on the road as traveling salesman for Kahn Bros, for some time, will he salesman at W. C. Carpenter’s till the first of the year, when hi<- traveling season opens up. Joe would be glad to have h J - friends call on him. .Miss Nichols, of Asheville. N. C„ arrived in the ci-<- Sunday. She will act as a teacher in the fifth grade at th' Central graded .school. There ire about sixty pupils in tins grade and it was deemed advisable to divide it and have two teachers. Miss Louise Sarratt is the other teacher. Z. A. Robertson yesterday informed a Ledger reporter that last year he shipped $20,000 worth of cattle and hogs into this State, and he is ex pect in % g a car load of hogs to arrive today. There are other dealers who import cattle and hogs to this town. It seems a pitv that our own farmers cannot keep this money at home by raising cattle. Mr. F. A. Noblett, who has had charge of the cement work about the new Southern passenger denot has finished up that part of the work. He left vesterdav with his force of hands for Thick-ety. where he goes to do some culvert work. Mr. Noblett is an efficient and obliging gentleman and added quite a number of friends to his already long list while here. He is no stranger to Gaffney, however, having formerly resided here. One Will be Established at Central Graded School. The Ledger had a very pleasant visit from Mr. Speer, the principal of the Centra) graded school, last Fri day afternoon. Mr. Speer is very en thusiastic in his work and is exhibit ing a profound interest in the success of the school. He is au exceedingly affable gentleman, of pleasing address and win doubtless prove a valuable acquisition to the citizenship of the community. Speaking of the effort to establish a school library here Mr. ?• eer said: “During the past week a modest be ginning has been- made toward se curing a library for the Central school. The response made by the friends of education has been most gratifying to all connected —the work. The pupils seem interested and enthusias- t’~ In the effort, a condition promising the ultimate success of the move ment. “Manv have contributed and many doubtless have not had an onnortu- nitv through the inability of the so liciting of pupils to see them. To such I am glad to announce that The Ledger has kindly consented to re ceive such contributions and also do- nafi- iis of suitable books a r,r1 maga zines or publications of any kind that can be used in a library of this de scription. “A beginning has been made. An order win he sent out next week. In this order w e hope to include hooks for all pupils, from the primary grades through the high school—nature sto ries. geographical and historical read ers. biographies and books of travel a few standard reference works, and a limited amount of carefully selected fiction. “The use of the library will be under the supervision of th'- teach ers. who will use their best efforts to cultivate a love of good, wholesome readin 0 - in the minds of the pupils. No part of education is of more Im portance than this. It is a wel' known fact that tasts acquired during the formative period of youth cling to their possessor through life. If our children can be aided in the acquisi tion of a desire for that which is pure and beautiful in literature, a few hun dred dollars invested in books will pay tb'> richest of dividers. “It is not necessary that even that much should be contributed at. once. From the beginning made, and the kindly interest shown so generally. It is believed that within a few days the fund will he sufficiently large for pres ent purposes. It is offered as a sug gestion. that pledges of contributions may be made by dropping a postal card with amount pledged, date of payment, if in future, and name, to The Ledger. “There is a great movement now in progress for the establishment of school libraries. State Supt. O B. Martin in his report on libraries says that nearly eight hundred have been established in places where none ex isted before, within the past two vears and a half.’’ With the Mayor. Mayor Little had a few sinners be- for him yesterday morning. John Dixon paid $7.50 for shootin" inside the coroporatc* limits. H. N.

They had put up $3 each for their appearance before the mayor, but failing to appear their cash bond became the property of the citv. Work of a Miscreant. Some evil minded person went into the Limestone Mill Saturday after noon after 5 o'clock and slashed the big belt which drives the machinery in the carding and spinning rooms. Superintendent Cash has an idea as to who the miscreant is. and yester day had a warrant sworn out for the susnect. This is a dastardly niece of business and if the proper '•‘‘rson is apprehended he should be severely dealt with.
