AS TO GAMBLING IN GAFFNEY.
0 ir esteemed contemporary, the
riierok 'eo News, keeps talking about
gambling going on in Gaffney and
says “that he is being complimented
on his crusade against this immoral
praeriee. If the News has done any
thin! to suppress th evil except to
say that it is going on (although re
peab dly called upon to furnish evi
dence) we have never heard of it. If
the ‘News’’ has any proof we think
it should be fiven to the proper au
thorities. and if it has not f hon stop
takirg credit for what it has not
done, in other words. ‘‘Put up,”
“Get up." or “Shut up.”
The above is taken form our local
contemporary. The Ledger. It is
verv likely that some of those who
are demanding a "Put up,” “Get up"
or “Shut tip" can ^ive more informa
tion on th<' subject of gambling than
we can If our contemporary is very
anxious to know something about
gambi ig its editor might inquire of
sum< of ttie members of the defunct
Oorwie-reial C'lnb why they stopped
paving their dues and let the club
go down. It is perfectly natural
that the parties who gave the club
a bad reputation are still shuffling
the cards.
We regret to have to call attention
to the ('ommereial Glut), because it
was composed of the very best in
Gaffney, and it is a pity that it was
prostituted by a few. We hope that
the men hers who regret the degra
dation of the club as much as we do
will no. take exception at this.—
( ' orokee News.
We were perfectly satisfied that
The News knew nothing about any
gambling going on in Gaffney. The
editor of the News never play,# cards,
even for fun, so far as we know We
do not know that he was ever In the
Commercial Club, in his life, and for
his benefit and the benefit of the
public in general we will say that
there was never any gambling in
th 1 ' Commercial Club so far as we
know of. A few- of the members
played cards for pastime, but never
to our knowledge was one cent of
money ever bet on the result of the
game, and he who asserts to the con
trarv simply does not know what he
is talking about.
It. is verv natural that the publish
er of a game cock journal—the only
one in the State—would want us to
“shut up" when it comes to talking
about gambling. Cock fighting and
gambling go hand in hand, a id Itoth
have been outlawed by the State.
It strikes us as perfectly natural
that one who would go all the w f ay
from Gaffney to Cincinati and to
Louierana to attend cock fights would
want tis to “shut, up” when it comes
tn talking about gambling.
Th- above paragraphs are from
the highly moral Cherokee News and
are r imed at th editor of the I>*d-
ger .who publishes Grit and Steel, ac
knowledged by press and public to
be the best all round game fowl jour
nal on earth, one that, is read by la
dies and gentlemen, boys and girls, in
every Knglish speaking country on
earth, which is a good ileal more
than the editor of The News can say
in regard to his paper. It is decent
and clean, presided over by one of
the purest and most capable women
in South Carolina, pays its debts
and we have no apologies to make,
because we print it
Seriously, though, if we desire to
go to Cincinnati or to l»uisiana, or
any other part of the world to meet
game chicken fanciers and form
their acquaintance, what, in the
name of common sense, has that to
do with the assertion on the part of
Th*- News that tlmre is gambling go
ing on In Gaffney? There are thous
ands of people who know we print
Grit and Steel, who do not know we
also print the Ledger. We do not at-

The amusing feature about the
Cherokee New\s “bellyaching” at
The Ledger's editorial of Tuesday is
that the editor of The Ledger did
not write a line of the editorial mat
ter for last Tuesday’s paper. The edi
tor was in Spartanburg Monday and
Capt. .1 13. Bell dashed off the vile
stuff that raised the bile in the News’
stomach. It certainly shows that the
Captain knows how to upset Broth-
• r Parrot.

The Charleston News and Courier
which, by the way, is one of tbe best
newspapers in this or any other
country, carries a very interesting
column now and then headed “Gos
si|> of th“ County Papers." We note
however, thai it clips freely from the
S’artanburg .Journal and the Oroen-
vil’e Piedmonl Wonder how these j
big dailies like the idea oi being I
r
classed as a county paper"

The Lancaster News *
doubt the probability of
Three C’s road going over
Seaboard Air Line, as will be seen by
the following taken from its issm
the 2nd :
A dispatch from Gaffney to daily
papers states, upon what the corres
pondent considers good authority,
that “the Seaboard Air Line railroad
has acquired the old Three C’s road,
which runs from Marion, N. 0.. to
Camden. S. C." This reported deal
will likely pan out as did the recent
widely published rumor that the
Southern had sold its line running in
to Charleston the old South Carolina
and Georgia road. It will be recalled
that President Finley, of the South
ern, promptly denounced the report
as without foundation.
• • •
Gaffney is kicking because the
Southern’s freight rate from east
ern points to Gaffney is higher than
it is to Spartanburg, 21 miles furth
er. Our neighbors will find that
their rate is higher than the rate to
Glreenvile. '58 miles further, and
much higher than the rate to Atlanta
Georgia. 213 miles further.—Spar
tanburg Journal.
Now. friend, you are doing us a
service by giving us this information,
for which we thank you. If you will
only tell us how to remedy the mat
ter we will be further indebted to
you. Do not try to jest with us by
saying “Get lower rates,” or some
such stuff, but tell us in truth some
real remedy for our ills.

The Gaffney ledger attempts to
poke fun at us in this manner:
“The Charlotte afternoon palters
must have indulged In loo much
mouthwash Christmas. The News
came out Wednesday, dated ‘Wednes
day Bvening. December 24.’ while
Wednesday’s Chronicle was dated
Tuesday Evening . December 26.’
This looks bad for a feetotler town,
or were the employees intoxicated
with joy because they were granted
a holiday?"
The latter conclusion is correct,
while the former suggestion is highly
inappropriate. Were wv not extra-
ordinarilv patient and forbearing we
should be led to at least call our
contemporary a “Horrid creature.”—
Charlotte News
The funny part of this was that In
the same issue of The Ledger in
which the above paragraph appeared
an error was made in the date line,
it reading Friday, December 29.
when it should have been Friday,

A Wonderful Hen.

seventeen days. Has layed one egg
every day and eight days out of the
seventeen she has layed two eggs
each day. one early in the morning
and one late in the evening. Tais
may look unreasonable, but it. is
i rue. The hen lays in Mir. Huskey’s
dweling house and no other hen
comes in the house. The family
have watched her closely and find
that every time she wtes on the nest
she leaves another egg. The hen
was raised from eggs bought of Mr
E. R. Cash, from hi» prize winners,
the Rhode Island reds, which beat
them all. Mr Cash tells Mr. Husk
