A KNOT TY PROBLEM.
y r i', A. 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.

News announces that

editor. The News
has secured one of the very best
newspaper men in this country in
tlie person of Mr. Banks and is to he
sincerely congratulated.

The introduction of electrical pow
er in Gaffney means a decreased de
mand for coal and wood by the manu
facturing concerns, therefore we may
confidentially look for wood to bo
cheaper next year than it is this year,
it a.so means that it will cost the
nills less to run than it now costs
them to run by steam.
* *. •
We direct the attention of the lit
tle lady readers of The Ledger to
the announcement in another column,
whereby we propose to give away
several hundred dolls between now
md Christmas. It is unusual for a
semi-weekly newspaper to make such
m undertaking hut The Ledger is
ilways striving to do something out
of the ordinary.

This is the season of the year
when the unbusinesslike country
publisher who sends his paper to
very Dick. Tom and Harry on credit
is filling his columns with appeals
to Dick. Tom and Harry to come for
ward and help the poor editor out
>y paying up their subscription. Oh,
men and brethren, how long will it
take you to learn that the only way
to run a business is on business
principles? We wish every publish-
r had the backbone to require cash
in advance for his .paper. It would
prove disastrous to some, hut to
every one w ho printed a paper worthy
of patronage it would he a godsend.

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.

Every
Two Minutes
Physicians tell us that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in every two
minutes. 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.
Be sure that this
picture in the form of
a label is on the wrap
per of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy.
