It Is : aid that more than eight thousand murders occurred in these United States in the past twelve months. Certain it is that Cherokee has contributed her quota. Now. let us get on our behavior and see if we can’t be good for a while at least. • « • The Columbia State certainly did itself proud in its issue of last Wed nesday in the manner in which It handled the unveiling of the Hamp ton monument. The State is a great paper, with a magnificent clientele, and is a splendid exponent of all the best interests of South Carolina. * * * The Methodist meet in Columbia Wednesday and they are almost sure to 'select Gaffney for their meeting place next year. The Baptist are in cession at Spartanburg. Wouldn’t it be a good idea for Or. Simms to try to induce them to come to Gaffney next year also. * * * The effort to get up a lyceum course for Gaffney is meeting with very good success. We appreciate the fact that the people have been woe fully disappointed in the class of at tractions furnished them heretofore, but we have every reason to believe that those now promised are really first class. * * * That is a nice compliment Brother Robinson, of the Durham Sun, pays The Ledger, and we appreciate it very much, indeed. Mr. Robinson is an experienced newspaper man, not giv en to flatery. Years ago when we were a bov we knew him in Char lotto, but we suppose he has forgot ten us, therefore we do not take it as a compliment from one personally acquainted with us. Nevertheless, we appreciate it just the same. • * * Let us remind our readers that it is safer to buy goods .,! home than to order from the mail order houses. Here you get the goods before you part with your money, and then, again, if they should not be what you want you can tabe them back and ex change them, whereas if you buy from a mail o’-der concern you part with your money before you get the goods and if they prove unsatisfactory you have no redress, for the fellow who got the cash is out of reach and he is not going to give it up. « * * There is a movement on foot to create a new countv out of porUons of Aiken and Edgefield, and, as might be expected, the old counties are fighting the project. If thes old coun ties have the welfare of all the peo ple at heart they would join In and help create the new county. Exp& rience proves that York Spartan bur 0 ' and Union are none the worse off for the creation of Cherokee and this territory has - been wonderfully advanced by it. Small counties are the best for all the people. Of that there can he no question. • « • Next Thursday is Thanksgiving and our people should observe the day as much as their surroundings will permit W® have much to he thankful for. The mo*t of u* have been blessed with life, health bappl ness and prosperity, and we should he profoundly th&nbful It Is but right and proper that we stop one day In the Tear and give thanks. The universal observance of Ihanksqiv tng in the United States Is an ex tension of the custom iong prevail ng in several States in which an an nual Thanksgiving day has been ap- nolnted by proclamation of the gov ernor. It is a public acknowledge inent or celebration of divine good ness for the ordinary dispensation for God’s liountles. Do not desecrate the day. hut observe it as it is in tended to be observed—by giving thanks to God and making an effort to do some deed that will tend to lighten the burden of those who are not so fortunate as you may be. PRESS COMMENT. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. One of the best semi-weekly news papers that reaches this office is The Ledger, of Gaffney, S. C. Editor De Camp is making a splendid paper, and we always enjoy reading it.—Dur ham Daily Sun. The way our friend Ed.
