Mr. Janies Gamer was in ihe wa ter last Monday before he took a chill hut h. doesn't think ii had any- tiiing to do with liis tdiiils cominu: on him. He \\..ts fixing im 4 - - mill wheel. Some ik .in! ■ han’e a g od head for making calcu ations, and Mr. John A. M. Esi s is one of them. Those who dep- ;d upon tiguring ^without knowing the elementary rules of arithmetic are generally very poor calculators. “Figures won't lie." we are told. We understand that the Wilkins- ville ginnery will only run one or two days per week after this. Mr. Whis- onant thinks he can keep up with ids customers by on! running a f w days per week. That don't look like there is a great amount of cotton makiii'’’ this year. The last ginn is’ reporl. while perhaps tme. is calculated io fool the niarkel. and put down ihe in ice of cotton. This won t occur again this season. The cron is unu sually short this year. A good many people have gathered their coni crop and sav it is ver\ light—much more so than they once thought it would lie. Resides, a great amount of it is rotten. The recent slump in the price of cotton has caught many far mers who have obligations to meet now or in the near future, and they will do well to apply to the banks for their mm b needed relief. The hanks have the money to settle all the debts in the county and they will lend it on a sufficient guarantee of its safe and prompt return. The price of cot ton will go up. It can't he otherwise, unless the inevitable law of "cause and effect" is abrogated by some un precedented. unseen and unlooked for providential interference. The short crop and the low mice of cot ton is a burden the farmer has no right to bear alone He should bear his pro rata share of it. hut h ■ is also entitled to any good that may indirect!v arise from tills state of af fairs. And he lias, we tuink, a reme- dy for any emergency tii.it from time to tim,\! arises. The giuners' report for December will verify our predict ions. If it doesn't we will never ven ture another prophecy along ibis line. Th ■ decisive battle between the bulls and the bears—the Gogs and Magogs of the cotton business—will lie fought before the close of this year, or by the 1st of January, l f J07. at the outsidi—mark that. We have before us letteus from different parts and parties which claim that the same state of affairs exist in other places that we have experienced in Cherokee county. For want of sun shine, cotton 'has been picked wet, and green, and been ginned u'i to k ep it from spoiling. This is why the last glnners' report is so large. It won’t occur again this year The fields behind the pickers are as bleak as if it was mid-winter. Drawing a line from Mr. W. Sam Lipscomb's, across Thlckety. through the "Steen City," the Lemaster neightxirhood. and on to Mercer’s mill on Broad river, and all south of that line there is the best average cotton crops we have seen in Cherokee county, and tuey are by no means as good as they might Ih; or would have been under more favorable circumstances. We have never taken the part in what is known as “the cotton movement" that some men have, particularly in de nouncing Hie farmers as a set of fools and unworthy to he free men; or in belaboring other industries, that are doing a Lgitimate business in the manufacture and sale of the goods made from their cotton All •these must live, hut we onlv claim a reasonable amount of the profits for the farming classes. There will he hut a small area of wheat sown this season from present prospects. Ten and eleven, cent cotton and $2.riO hour is not much of an incentive to wheat raising in this country. The vote at Wllkinsville yesterday was very light. People were too busy to turn out. We understand that the box at Surratts wasn't op ened at ail. A letter Iroui < ir little friend and ledger reader.

Millican was released on bond pending an ap peal which his attorney stated would be made. There was no general petition eir ciliated in behalf oi Millican. The conviction of Millican was largeb due lo the efforts of Solicitor T. S. Sease, who stated in his argument to the jury that he was willing to siirn a pe tition lor pardon, which he did. The members of the jury all signed the p tition as did Judge Dantzler and sev eral other parties. Mr. Wilson submitted that matter dii"'Ct!v to Governor Heyward, who investigated the extenuating circum stances in the case and granted the pardon to Mi liean. The testimony in t!, ( . case brought out the fact that the boy w justified in ids act. although technically be was "uilty.

Wednesday he brought a bale to Gaff ney and sold it to the Gaffney .Man ufacturing Company. W. C. Carpen ter had a Uen on it. Yesterday Mr. Carpenter swore out an attachment on the bale, p aced it in the hands of Deputy Sheriff burham, who went to levy on the bale. The Gaffney Manufacturing Company paid Car penter’s claim. * When the Deputy Sheriff got hack up town it was found that Wood had given another lien to W. J. F. Scruggs and that Scruggs had taken out attachment papers also, but before Charlev could get back to th* mill the hale had been spun into >arn. so Scruggs is a poorer but wiser man. He not only lost his claim hut had to pa; the cost for at taching the bale. In the meantime Wood has disappeared. ing. as its healing air is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler, which can he carried in the purse or vest- pocket. and carrier medication to just the spot where relief is needed. The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1. extra bottles, if needed, 50 cents, and Gaffney Drug Co. give their personal guarantee with every oack- a^e that money will be refunded un less the treatment cures. This shows their faith in the i>ower of Hyomei to cure catarrh. Boy’s Lea Broken.
