NOTES AND COMMENTS. We are heartly piad that the State dispensary is a thins of the past and hope how soon the same thing may be said of the county dispen sary. • • • Gaffney needs a business mens or ganization to puch the interests of the town. But do not try to tack on to it a social feature. The social fea- tiif~ would soon run away with the thing and the last state would he worse than the first. • • • No county can develop as It should develop unless its educational inter ests are fostered, therefore it be hooves every lover of his county residing in School District No. 10 to vote “For Issuing Bonds” in the election 10 be held on Tuesday. Apr.1 irh. • • • John Rutledge McGhee has ac cented the position of advertising manager of the Greenville News. The News might have raked the State with a Jerusalem overtalcer an J it could not have secured a more ca pable man. We congratulate the News. • • • social event at the Com- PER80NAL PARAORAPHE. That litth mercial Hotel last Friday night was one °f the most enjoyable affairs that Tr>s taken pls ,r *e in the city in unite a while It is a pity that we do not liave more of them, it tends to cre ate good fellowship and to stimulate an interest in the material advance ment of the community. • • • Our good friend Col. Jimmie Ba con, of the Edgefield Chronicle com pares us to old Thor, of early Scan- denavian mythology. - We knew we were pretty noisy, hut had no idea that anyone, esp' dally Col. Bacon, would compare us to the God of Thun der. However, since he is not in our pugulistic class we’ll let him off until next summer and when we ger to *’ Isle of Palms we’ll giv- him a good ducking. * • * There is considerable comment on the fact that the lurks at the last term of Court of General Sessions ' • this conntv we'-c prone to con- v ! -* rathe>- than condone the accus- • This is trulv a healthy sign and The Ledger trusts’that in the future we will have more juries of this cha racter. Wlhen those inclined to delate the law learn that conviction l)radically stares them in the fac^ mav look for a cessation in crime. • * • Gaffney can l>oast of no more pro gressive citizen than Capt. H TV Wheat, of the Irene Mills. Mr. Wheat contemplates—and we have been formed lias already let the contract— for erecting a handosme summer theatre, skating rink and dance inll •n the lake at Irene Park. This will he erected solely to provide amuse ment for the people in the summer ♦ime. Mr. Wheat deserves thethanbs of the people of Gaffney for this atest move, and The Ledger, on be half of the public, extends to him felicitation. • • • In the matter of voting bonds there is a misconception. Some people think if the bonds for the graded school are voted that it means'that we cannot later on vote bonds for sewerage, extension of water works and electric lights. Such an idea is erroneous. One bond is school dis trict bonds and the other is munici pal tionds. the difference being that *11 the people in the school district rote on the school bonds, whib* only those residing in the incorporated limits of the city vote on the muni- eJ- *M bonds. We can well afford to have both, and county bonds for good , roof garde: roads in addition. The truth is that : wo will make monev bv issuing these bonds. The great enhancement of! property will more than pay the in-1 . terest on the bonds. The Ledger believes in improvement. It not ! Floyd L. Baker, of Union, spent Saturday and Sunday in the city. W.

Most people look upon Jnmniea gin ger as a temper.uiee beverage, but tbe fact that it '-an la'-dly eome under that head was in i-restiiigly demonstrated for tile benefit of the ITunees E. Wil lard union by .Mrs. Helen I,. Bullock of Elmira, one of the national lecturers of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. Mrs. Bullock had armed herself with a bottle of Jamaica ginger bought at a nearby drug store, sjgys the New York Tribune, and she began her talk by putting a teaspoonful of it into a saucer. “An alcoholic beverage won’t burn.” she explained, ‘•unless It contains more than "SJ per cent of alcohol.” Then she touched a match to tbe fluid in the saucer, and it straightway took fire and burned till there was nothing left but a brown stain. “Yet white riblion women give this to their children under the impression that It is the same thing as ginger tea,” commenced Mrs. Bullock. “And the alcohol isn’t even pure. It Is adulter ated In niauy cases with wood alcohol. “1 know a Quaker lady,” Mrs. Bul lock continued, “who had a man work ing for her, and every afternoon about J o'clock he used to come to the house with a severe pain in Ids stomach and ask for a drink <»f Jamaica ginger. A friend suggested that she try ginger tea. So the next time the man came The Southern Mill Owner. The relations of Ihe southern mill operative to his employer is almost unique.

It consists of a compound of copper, nickel, jron and one or two other min erals which are found in the district, and its importance lies in the fact that it 1® much less costly than nickel, is less liable to rust and will serve all the purposes that are served by that metal in tbe industrial world.
