CLIFTON CHRONICLES.
Will some one make a move
toward that business organization?
It certainly looks like it’s time for
something to be done if we intend
to tlo anything toward utilizing any
of that power being developed on
Broad river. , , *
% The baseball season is on once
more and each day we read the
ecore with a feeling al:in to sorrow.
The Gamecocks go down in defeat
as regularly as clockwork. Maybe
the hoodoo will skidoo when the re
gular schedule commences. At any
rate here’s hoping. Columbia.

Next Thursday is the day that will
decide whether the people of School
District No. 10 think more °f a dol
lar than thev do of aa educated citi
zenship. The Ledger is for educa
tion and w e hone the bond issue will
carry an overwhelming majority. i
We want the minds of our bovs and
girls developed. It will help to keen
thorn out of devilment.
...
Caffnev sympathizes with Spar-;
tanburg in her great loss by fire last
Tuesday. Mr. Montgomery, the head
of the Spartan Mills, is so well
known here that we feel like the loss
has fallen upon one of our own citi
zens. His company is a big one,
however, and will bear their loss
manfully. We hope how soon they
mav recover from th ; shock and loss.

About forty homicides have occur
red in Cherokee county since its or
ganization ten >ears ago, and it s a
fact worthy of note that the first per
son to nay the d°ath penalty was a
white man who was a native of the
count/. This is not saying that
others should not hav been convict-
e' but its a healthy sign that the
juries of the countv have arrived at
the point where they are showing a
proper recard for the rights of its
citizens. Surely this will be a les
son and will check the flow of blood
In this county.
• • *
We second the motion of the Cher
okee News to the effect that the or
dinance requiring trains to run
through the city limits at the rate
of four miles an hour be strictly en
forced. The Southern railway may
ride rough shot over the State of
South Carolina, but dinged if its
bigger than Gaffney and the city can
make them come down off their high
horses. We believe in treating cor
porations respectfully just so long
as they are respectful to others, but
when they get too big for their
britches its time to use a club.
• • *
In this issue of The Lodger will
be found the statements of the re
port of condition of the National
and State banks of Gaffney on call
of the National and State officials.
Wf» invite our readers to read these
statements and study the figures
contained therein. Thev show a
healthy condition of the financers of
these institutions. The three banks
show combined depoists of practi
cally a half million dollars. This is
an excellent showing for a town of
this size, but these statements
w»vuld be materially augmented if
all our people were educated to use
the banks rather than keep money
around the pr mises and thus tempt
the criminally inclined.
Marriage of Mr. Samuel E. Zimmer
man and Miss Susan Caster.
Clifton. March 27.—Mr. Samuel E.
Zimmerman and Miss Susan Caster
happily married on Thursday
evening, the 21st, inst. in the Bap
tist Church by Rev. J. D. Bailey of
Cowpens, and in *he presents of a
large assembly of persons. The mar
riage was a very brief, hut very well
conducted affair, which made it an
enjoyable occasion.
The church was tastefully decora
ted with beautiful evergreens and
such flowers as could ho obtained at
this season. Over the alter was a
trellis of ivy vines, from which hung
a marriage bell of white Damask.
The rostum was completely hidden
in palms, ferns and numerous potted 1
plants.
Pink Dougherty was at the organ
and opened the occasion with Uie
mellow notes of
“Come ye where the flowers fling
Their beauties o’er the meadows
gas,” etc.
as the procession entered tho room.
After a short but very impressive
ceremony, tho happy couple loft the
house—one. in the sight of the law'.
They have the congratulations
and well wishes of many friends who
desire for them a happy future.
Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Sparks and
family, of Pacolet. made a flying vis
it to Clifton Sunday, which afforded
tip ir friends and acquaintances a
great pleasure at meeting them again
Their presence gave Cliftor a more
homelike tint during their siu't stay,
than the place has won in five months.
Come again, good people.
The dogs around Clifton have been
making inroads into peoples’ noul-
try yards, and eating the chickens.
They have eaten a number for H'nry
Smith, among which was four
grown hens, and some for Mr. Mc
Dowell. Henry has been trying the
“lead cure” as a preventative, but
so far it has failed to prove effectual.
It is a very common thing for dogs
to “go for” eggs, but when it comes
to taking chickens and all. it seems
like the worst kind of a case of dog-
ishness.
Miss Jessie McPhearson is laid up
at this writing with a severe case of
measels, which has been a prevailing
epidemic at this place for some time
past, but at present it is to be hoped
that the worst is past, though there
are a great many case yet.
In The Ix*dger of the 22nd inst. we
noticed where “C,’’ of Ravenna has
added several “new subscribers” to
his list of young ladies, of whose
visits and wherabouts he can readi
ly tell. “C” doesn’t like to be
thought a widower, but says if he is,
“it is alright anyw-ay.” But 1 "glory
In hi spunk.” A man that could
live iu his neighborhood, among so
many bright, handsome, intelligent
“flowers of humanity,” without mak
ing some public mention of them oc-
cassionally, would certainly be some
gruff old bachelor. S.
$200,000. we cannot rise above the
low plane of a carnival, with all Its
attendant tricks, games and debas
ing influences. The schools are first
to suffer for the children go wild on
the approach of the show and serv
ants lose a grip on their work and
noth' nf r is added to the business of
the city. The naitry amount taken
in for a license fee will not compcn-
state the people for the loss of time.
It is easy to say to them to stay at
home ami mind their business, if
they do not wish to attend the carni
val. but the very peonle who should
stay at home will not do so. They
will be attracted by the music, the
rope walkers, snake eaters, fortune
tellers and a great variety of little
games. It is a step backward for
the carnival to be oermtted to show
a whole week here.

Cherokee Falls. March 25.—As I
haven't seen anything from Chero
kee Falls in sorm time. I will try

Soloists.
The Venetian Band is composed of
musicians, n arly all of whom a.e
excellent soloists on their respective
instruments.
A number of compositions will he

monstrate their ability as solo ar
tists. Tiie organization will also
have the assistance of a , strong
vocal soloist, that shall be worthy
the band, though the selection
may not be made until after this
circular has gone to press. Victor
and his band have a. repertoire of
fon- hundred and fifty classical and
popular selections, from which pro
grams can be selected to please all
tastes of the most exacting audi
ences.
The whole story told by the
Washington (D. C.) post:
“The soloists are so uniformly
srood. and the band so well balanced
that the ensemble presents a comple
mentary whole that is not only iu-
ieresting but delightfuliv r ft
