Blackwell went to Chester last Wednesda/ to see Miss I»uise Fowler who is sick there. Mr. C. F. Inman went over last Wednesday to see his father. Mr. Elias Inman, who is sick at his home near Bui lock’ll Creek church Road overseer Sam A. Lee has fix ed the road bridges in his section.. Some other officials should look af ter those in their respective locali ties. When a newspaper correspondent writes what he thinks in a splendid letter for his paper giving all the details of the neighborhood affairs, and whatever else he can think of or imagine and send it to the paper and the editor consigns all (or most of it) to the waste-basket, he gets—he gets —fighting mad and swears he will never write another line. He (the correspondent) rips, tears and con- vorts round generally. But when he sobers down a little and sees what a kindness the editor has done him by not puplishing all he has written. He sees much else that could very well have been left out, and nobody could have been hurt. On Thursday evening last Mr. Sam J. Strain, R. F. D. mail carrier, on the route from WilkinsviUe got his bug gy broken by his horse taking fright at two bales of cotton, left by some one in the roadside in a narrow place w'here thei>- was no way to get around it. He. having took the mail on his shoulder, and carried it to the postoffice, making his trip on sched ule time Other parties had trouble with their teams at the same place. Such criminal oareluessness is not only liable to do injury to vehicles and teams, but dangerous to life and limb, and should not be allowed. We are requested to announce that just before or during Christmas holi days there will be a sunner at the Etta Jane school house for the bene fit of the library.

Owing to the “bucking” of the lin otype machine our letter for last Tuesday’s issue of The Ledger did not appear in print, Periw's the “critter” thought (If it thinks at all) that the personal references would cause “bucking” among our readers and It would save them of the lob.

NEWS FMN THE NINON'S CAPITAL LEDGER'S SPECIAL CORRESPOND ENT INTERVIEWS TILLMAN. 1«* -i itr - H • t I The Senotor Starts on His Lecture Tour of the West—Hat “Somethlrtg to Sey” of the Income Tax. (Special Cor. of 'Hie Ledger.) Washington, D. C., Dec. 16—Sena tor Tillman left Washington tonight for a short lecture tour in the West When seen at the Pennsylvania sta tion be said that as it was a well known fact that nothing was accom plished prior to Christmas at the ses sions, and as Congress would adjourn for the holidays Thursday, he would fill a few lecture dates. After the first of January he would be in his Seat, when Congress settles down to business, and he points to his twelve years in thp National legislative halls as to whether he attends to his official business or not. Senator Tillman “had something to say” about the Income Tax issue in which his name has figured in the Palmetto State press. He was vigor ous in his utterance and talked as follows: “There have been so many malic ious and untruthful statements made In regard to my shirking the Income Tax that I want, to let ray fellow cit izens who are Interested understand exactly what the facts are. “I have done comparatively little lecturing for several years past, and those newspapers which have howl ed most are entirely familiar with the severe spell of illness which I had with my throat in the winter of 191)3, as well as with another dangerous illness, which caused mo to be ab sent from, mv post in Washington during the entire session of 1904. Dur ing this year I have filled many en gagements and will at the proper time make return on the income re ceived. The income tax which is now l>eing collected is for the year 1905. At no time sinco the Income Tax law has l)een in o^peration has my income from all sources, includ ing mv salary as senator, after de ducting the expenses and exemption, causod me to be subject to tho In- c(<me Tax “I am informed by good lawyers that my salary as United States sen ator does not come within the rute. I have never dodged taxes of any sort, and I hope never dodgpd any men or the missiles they haw hurl- amI at. me, and nothing but the envy and hatred of a few irreoonoil&bles in South Carolina, has brought this matter into prominence. Thf' yarn about my moking $25,000 this sum mor is absurd, as a moment’s thought would easily show, as there have l**en only four months since the South Carolina camitaign closed. The envious curs, who have had so much to say alnjiit mv lectures, would like to help the negroes of Chicago a»u other Northern cities <■•<>" me, if they could.’’ Remember the H e || 0 Girs.

COMPULSORY VACCINATION. - Board of Health Issues Circular to Chief of Police. Chief of Police Lockhart has re ceived a communication from Dr. Geo. R. Dean, Chairman of the com 1 mittee on epidemic and epidemic dis eases of the State Board of HeaJtfli, in which he is asking informaition con cerning compulsory vaccination, of which the following is the full text: My Dear Sir:—The State Board of Health having passed a resolution in accordance with the laws gf our State, herein inclosed, requiring aJl schools and congregated labor to be vaccinated and (re-vaccinated where needed), ! take this method of in forming you of this resolution and requesting you to begin this work at once, if your olty has not already ful filled these provisions. You will greatly oblige the Board by reporting to me at onoe the present condition of your city schools, work houses, factories, mills, etc., etc., in thi* re gard, making it clear and full as pos sible, so that I may include it in my annual report to sai l Board on De cember 10. 1906. You will also ob lige me by following this, with a re port. of the work when finished, (or in progress by that date,) giving full and e’ear reports of your labors, and the condition of your city regarding its protection against smallpox. By order of tire Board. A copy of the nesoluton was en closed, also a copy of the law on com pulsory vaccination, also instructions as to how agents of the law must carry out the law. We realize how unpltasant it is to carry a sore arm from vaccination, but a sore arm is not to be compared to a ca^e of smallpox, so don’t give the agents trouble when they come around. IRENE MILLS TO DOUBLE. Improvements to Begin at A n Early Date. The Irene Mills, owned and oper ated by Mr. H. D. Wheat, is to dou ble its capacity. The improvements are to coimnence at art earlv date. This mill makes danrask table linen snd the demand for the product is> so great that it has become necessary to enlarge. In speaking to a Ledger m-Mi about the proposed increase of capacity. Mr Wheat said: “We will double Ure output of the mill, which means an increase of $100,1)00 worth of the finished prod uct a year. This means, of course, more money for help—an inetjeased pay roll—and, therefore, more busi ness for Gaffney.” Mir. Wheat is one of the most pro gressive mill men in the South. Th* Ledger feels confident that he will never reel until tihe whole hillside of th»B Irene Mill property is taken up with an injmense mill and tenant houses. He has done a great deal for Gaffney, is now doing a great deal and will do a great deal more In the future. Tlte Ledger wishes we had more like Jiim. Besides Ineing a cap tain of industry, he is a clever unas suming gentleman who is not wrap ped up in his own conceit, and who wants to do something for others as well as for himself. We wish him all manner of success, because he de serves it. Cut Hole in Wrong End. Mrs. Volney Sarratt was annoyed h” the cats in the house at night. She asked the old man to cut a hole in the door so the cat could come and go at will. Hk obligingly took down the door, cut the hole and hung up the door. A friend came along and asked him what, that hole in the door meant. The old man said it Was for the cat to come in and out of. The friend said tht- cat must be a gcod jumper. The old man looked, and behold! He had cut the hole in the wrong end of the door. This is a true bill, although it. occurred sev eral years ago. Presbyterian Church Notes. Rev. R. T.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF AN OLD DARKEY. He Shows a White Man Why the Road Around a Hj|| is N© Longer • ' « I Than Ove r It. Editor Ledger:—Quit writing about Good Roads and turn your batteries on bad roads. I started to Gaffney last, week and when I got within six miles of the city, after having, ruined my new buggy over the first seven miles of gullies, loose rock, gultlee after gullies and bad gullies, and bad holes and deep mud holes. I was ad- vidctl to drive the lower road the bal ance of the way. The first obstacle was an old bridge of rotten Umbers nearly buried In mud and water. My horse made a leap, broke the trace and wrecked one wheel of the buggy and there I sat looking like a “fule,” and really was a fool to expect good roads from a citizenship who spends hundreds of dollars annually on vehicles and then would dynamite your office fop advocating aji honest measure to prevent bad mads. For instance, I collected my parts to gether the beet I could and turned back away round by the railroad. An old darkey came along riding a bull and said, “Boss, you need such an animal as mine to carry you safe over these had places.” He said he was in an awful hurry but look pains to belli me out. and said “As long as us niggers stays in this country the white folks will have had roads” Pointing to a steep knob over the top of which the mad runs \qere danger ous gullies on either side where he said loaded wagons and buggies couldn’t pass each other and danger ous besides. ‘‘White folks call us nig- • ers fools,’’ he held a hickory switch -iloi'l four feet long. “Now, boss, you look like a gen men got some telligens. Watch me.” He bent the switch in the shape of a horse shoe, h, Id curve up >hen placed the curve fiat on the ground. “Now dem men who laid out de road (I along) thought over the top of dat steep knob was de strait, nigh way. 3ous’e got sum sense, don’t you see dey could gone around dat hill on a level? He added "dat steep holler where der would be no wosfoe* and gullies, and the distance the same. Measure my switch on the body and see if any shorter by hieing bent. Yah! yah! Hush your fuss, dis darkey been here before today. I want to teM you one more truth then I must hurry. Dey call us all nig gers out once or twice during busy- crap time to make the roads look purty before th,e grand jury meets We fill all the holes (not all eitlu r) some with mud. rocks, brush, slicks and anything else to fill and smooth over and the fust big rain comes, good bye honey.” I looked at the old darkey as he trotted off. then looked at the sixty degrees round over the knob, then cast a view around the base of the hill and concluded the dis tance around it would be several yards shorter and almost on a level. Just think of it more than 3<»0 such placrs in Uherokee county and I be lieve Cherokee has less bad roads than other counties. •It is strange that the public at largo neglects this most) imjtortant branch of necessity and it will be so as long as our preachers, teachers, lawyers, doctors and other profession al men fall to convince all farmers and teamsters that they are double taxing themselves travelling over and maintaining had roads. Mould it not add more to the wel fare of a farmer to leave off a few fancy ornaments on that residence and spend the same cost in cement ing the road in front of his residence? 1 am a country man and confess that we are all blamed for bad roads and behind the time in not organizing for improvement. Dr. Barrows, general superintend- ant of education for the Philippines, arrived in San Francisco, and said t 1 -^ insular situation was politically excellent but economically poor.
