Orr. general manager of ti ie Klectrioal Manufacturing and Power Company, was in the citv Wed nesday on husin ss relating to ids en terpris©. To a lj©'lE<‘r re|)rP 0 ' i ntative he talked freely about the advant ages to be derived from electric pow er in a city and cited instances of whe* - the installation of such nower had been of incalculable benefit to the small industries. Mr. Orr is seek ing to close a contract with tin* town council to furnish them power for the electric light and water plant, in brief his proposition is to furnish power for twenty-four hours at the price that it now costs the city for twelve hours. It is pointed out that the city would only need the power for twelve hours—during the night- hut, in the day time it could let the power out to small consumers, and that, the income from this source would be a clear profit to the city. The Ledger lias no means of know ing what the city council intends to do. but it is apparent that they intend to take their time and look into the matter fully before signing a contract. \V e are advised that the same charter granted the Electrical Manufacturing and Power Company will he granted the Southern Power Company, which is to commence the development of the Ninety Nine Is'ands property on Broad river in a very short time. The town council are evidently hold ing off until that company can get in to a position to make a proposition. As matters now stand the Electri cal Manufacturing and Power Com puny will not he abli> to furnish Gaff ney power until next Autumn, if then. Of course the Southern Power Com pany will not be abb* to 'urnish pow er from the Ninety-Nine Island nlant for several years, but they already have several powers in operation and it, may he possible for them to bring a line into Gaffney before tliev (level op the Ninety Nine Islands property It. is a knotty problem tor the city council, hut. the one thing evident Is that we m*ed the power and the soon er we get power Mie bettor will it he for all concerned. Everything being equal we should think that, the best thing to do would he to make a con tract with the first concern that can produce the goods, but we would not make a contract with anyone with out first, investigating the matter thoroughly, and we have no idea tht council will, either.

"Dear "Old Man": — At last we arc under our own “vine and fig tree.” and after getting settled my thoughts and heart turns to Cherokee, Gaffney, and especially to the jiostoffice and I.ledger office. To say I miss you ex presses it very mildly and I look back uno*’ the many pleasant hours spent witli the “old man” and the boys as an oasis in the pilgrimage of life. Amid the mad rush for wealth in which so many “lose out,” it is good to allow your mind to wander hack to your old home and think of genu ine friends left behind. We made manv warm friends in the far West (Inrin" our brief stay there, and while v » shall never forget their many acts of kindnesses, somehow their friend ship is not the same as “our" own people. To our Cherokee friends we wish to return our heartfelt thanks for the warm hand of welcome so readily and freelv extended to us and we are al ways “at home” to them, hoping to have many of them visit us before many days have passed. I see you are still butting against “the rocks of Gibralter” on the road question. Keep the good work up. for that is one tiling Cherokee county is thirty years behind on, while so far ahead on a great many lines. May both The Ledger and Cnerokee News live long and prosper. A W.

If this action be comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood ; Scott’s Kmulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOTT’S EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di gested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan tage in this. Less work for the stomach; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott’s Kmulsion does just that. A change for the better takes place even be fore you expect it. We will send you a tample free.
