CITIZEN REPLIES TO
' PARROTT, THE EDITOR
GASTON SHOALS BRIDGE TOPIC
OF DISCUSSION.
Whv the Bridge Should be Built
There and Some of the Advantages
to be Obtained Thereby.
'Reolyine to the article “That
Bridee Question’’ In the Cherokee
News, would like to sav in behalf of
those who want the bridee at Gaston
Shoals and of those who siemetl the
petition for same to be located at
that point, and In order that the pub
lic mav not be deceived or mislead
by such a conerlomoration of manu
factured mistakes, hatched up by
that little chaina’berrv pop-ifiin
editor, who is using his artillery in
this case to the deteriment of the
best interest of the people. The
editor admits in one of his previous
writings, regarding this matter, that
he never visited Gaston Shoal si
which is quite slgnflcant of the
fact that, he knows nothing abo"t it.
Now as to the location of this bridge,
there are manv advantages in favor
of crossing at Gaston Shoals. Nature
•has provided for a shorter and bet
ter road to this point than to any
other between the Southern Railway
A road from Gaffney to Gaston
Shoals would be almost an air line,
without a grade in either direction
of tt- -o than 6 per cent, and all the
people who own property between
here and there will give the right of
wav. or at least all who I havejjeen.
and I have seen all but one or two.
It is proposed to mount the bridge
on the dam and anv intelligent per
son can readily see that hy the ele
vation of the bridge and roadway
unon the ton of the dam and the
island that we are able to avojd the
hills at the liver which would other
wise exist. The dam is located on
a direct line between Giaffbev and
Shelby. N. €.. and to open' such a
'road would greatly reduce the dis
tance. not oplv from Gaffney to Shel
by. hut from Gaffney to the moat
densely populated sections of upper
Cherokee county, and furnish 160 per
cent better road. This road would
serve too. to open tin an undeveloped
section of Cherohee county, and in
the event of a cotton mill or the de
velopment of any other industrial
enterprise around the power Plant,
this bridge wbuld be the right thing
In the right place. The editor of the
Cherokee News sav*. that the dif-
xerence in cost would be consider
able: Now as to that I think I have
in my possession figures showing
that the complete crossing of both
dams at Gaston Shoals will not ex
ceed $10,QQO. Mr. , ChrClstburg. re
presenting the Roanoke Bridge com-
panv. told Hie that the Crossing at
Stacy’s ferry would cost about $10,-
500. go I can’t see anything rery con
siderable In the difference of oost,
so far as the location Is concerned.
As to roads, approaches etc.. Gaston
Shoal» has every advantage over the
Stacy ferrv proportion. It Is Simply
Impossible to get anything like as
good a road to Stacy’s ferry as
be had to Gaston Shoals. It Is a
pltv that we are not in possession of
data and facta from a competent civil
engineer, as to grades, distance and
the complete cost figure of each
place In order that we could make a
public comparison of the two. that
the people might know the truth. To
build a bridge at. Stacy’s ferry would
he next to a total waste of public
funds.
A better idea would be to brtld *
bridge across Buffalo creek In Mtotx's
bottonl. go as to make the Blacks
burg bridge accessable. a bridge at
Stacy’s fsrrv find the Blacksburg
bridge would not be very far anajt
A road from the power house put to
Jonathan Mbore’s place would be lit
tle If anv over a mile, tt can be had
without a grads to either direction
of more than six feet rise in a hun
dred. and without cuts or fills, practl-
calhr straight connecting with Byf*
faJo church road about a mfle from
where the StAcv ferrv road Comes
in. This road would be easily con
structed. This is the road that
crosses the rough country the editor
sneaks of on the other side of the
river. The two bridges WhOS» he
'mentions are unnecessary, though if
thev had to be built across the two
branches, the cost would not be
worthy of consideration.
A* to that “tax exemption gag” a
ten-yeaPoid child) ought to know
that whoever holds the titles to a
dece ot property must pay the tax
ation of same. The legislature could
not exempt those people from tax
ation because ft would be 1 unconsti
tutional. A paralel case would be a
public Wghwav on 8 railroad right
of way and an overhead bridge
aoAss the track would exempt the
J^joad from taxation, ot a'nubile
ro i across a farmers Dlantation and
6 bridge across a galley woiilrf ex
empt him from taxation. Getting
un such things as this 0 decays the
public and excite ftelr Prejudice
and change their sentiments is not
fair, but doubtless the public Is as
familiar with this as the editor is.
especially when it comps to ppylpjc
Should this bridge ,be ola<«&. at
Gastoh Shoals, iwtriutf upon guch a
foundation of granite masonry, it
would present the admirable feature
of both beauty and strength.
Aside from this location, being
best from a standpoint of conwner-
rial utility, there would be a lake of
fresh mountain water backed up toy
miles, surrounded bv green wood^
which will have its charms for every
one who appreciates nature, and
with a good road across the pre
mises. various sources of amusement
are Quito probable. The island would
serve for an exceptionally fine place
for vehicles and a hitching ground
and doubtless would be visited by
thousands of people, which would
make it verv popular as a resort.

go bv Stacy’s ferrv. it is a pity that which she spent in Gaffney she asked
should re- Mrs. Williams to allow her to sleep
in the room with her. and that Mrs.
Williams allowed her to do so: that
the next night MV. Williams asked
her to occupy another room which
wag then vacant, for the reason that
he wished to occupy his own room.
Some weeks later she returned to
Gaffney to do pome shopping, bring
ing her baby with ber and on that
night she slept in the room with Mrs.
Williams and her daughter, and that
she did not leave the room at all on
that night. The statement In the af
fidavit that Frank Deal ever came to
her room at Gaffney, or that she was
ever intimate with him. or that she
was ever in his room or he in hers is
absolutely false, except one morning
she stood in the door of his room
with Ella Williams while DegJ shew
ed her the picture of bis sister in her
wedding gown, and that whild she
was looking at the picture the door
was not closed at any time, and that
Mrs. Williams was in the hall only a
few feet away.
That the reason Frank Deal show
ed her the picture was because she
and Miss Deal had been fellow stu
dents at Converse college.
That Inasmuch as this statement
appears Inconsistent with what pur
ports to be her affidavit, she wishes
to say that when the paper was sub
mitted to her she was confined to the
house. Just beginning to convalesce
from the effects of a very severe at
tack of pneumonia and bilious fever,
and was in no condition to undejstand
or to comprehend the nature of the
paper or the contents thereof. She
ts satisfied that the lying reports of
here alleged Intimacy with Frank
Deal were believed by Mr. Mills, and
that thepe reports were carried to
him by designing persons.
MVs. Mills has delicate and refined
features, and but for the marks of
suffering on her face would be an ex
ceedingly praftT woman. She must
havb been beautiful before the marks
of suffering were left on her face.
One is struck with the manner in

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop
ular People and Short Items of
that Section.
Wilkinsville, May 18.—Miss Bonnie
MjcCluney’s school enterttainment
came off last night. A large crowd
attended aud the children acquitted
themselves very creditably, and
showed that in their training much
pains had been taken by the teacher.
Upon the whole it was a perfect suc
cess. The audience enjoyed it to the
fullest extent, as shown by the ap
plause and laughter. lu the play,
“Aunt Dinah’s quilting party.” the
substitution of local for imaginary
characters elicited great applause
and added much fun to it. at the ex
pense of the unsuspecting gaji- 168
who were taken completely by sur
prise. Special mention should be
made of several of. the children who
acted their parts so Well considering
their ages. The rendition of “Our
Country” bv Robert Fowler. Minnie
Fowler. Cjara Kirby and Mlamip Fow-
,ler was exceptionally fine and capti
vated every lover of his country. But
ab did extremely well and Miss Mc-
Cluney has much reason to congratu
late herself upon the success of her
entertainment which has been so
long looked for and talked about.
Mlav there be many such pleasant oc
casions in store for them.
Rev. W. R. Potter late of Gaffney,
was made moderator of the Memphis
Presbytery which met at Somerville,

When we went to the asylum the
first man we met there was “Uncle

worth Orphanage where we found a
corps of efficient officers and one
hundred and fifty-seven children.
Everything Showed that these child

At the reunion we were riding on
a crowded street car which, at almost
every stop was taking on paasengera
The seats and aisle were crowded al
most to suffication. Near us stood
some young ladies and gentlemen
who couldn’t find seats. Beside us
sat a sedate crusty looking old man
who seemed to be as immovable as
the Rock of Gibraltor.
With the politeness of a French
dancing master »’e offered one of the
young ladies our seat. But she
thanked us and said: “I see vou are
a cripple man and I would not de
prive vou of vour seat for anything."
As the car spun around a sharp
curve it gave a sudden lurch and
before she was aware of it she was
sitting in our lap and we had in
voluntarily thrown our arms qj;ound
her to keen her from falling.
Quick as a thought she sprang to
her feet and said: “Oh. please ex
cuse me.” We said*: ^Certainly
madam, certainly: but you might
have kept vour seat without giving
any offense whatever.” The inci
dent created a general laugh in
v’hich the blushing young lady en
tered heartily. Then turning to our
old neighbor we said: “‘Bud.’ how
do vou like this kind of a reunion’’?
While in Gaffney Thursday yre
called at The Ledger office and found
our voung friend Mr. Brian Bell in
the chair writing editorials while the
“Old Mian” was at the stand setting
tvne. It was evident that he knew
his business for he could nick the
tvne up and place them in position

Rev. T. F. Boozer, who is spending

day.
We learn from the officers and
members of the Limestone Presby
terian church that the prospect of
getting a pastor for this group of
churches—Limestone and Saltam-—la
fairly good. We trust that ..every
member will consider himself, or
herself, committee of one to see that
this end is accomplished *t once. It
takes concert of action to accomp
lish anything. It’s possible fpr every
one to do something. Those who
can York should do so. and those (if
any) who can’t, should keep their
mouths abut and not try to dis

At Gaffney last Thureday we had
the pleasure of meeting Hon. J. P.

WHY DON’T THEY SETTLE?
Insurance Company Stow in Settling
Mr. Nelson’s Claim.
It does seem that one of the insur
ance companies is treating Mr. J. M.
Nelson badly. He had two policies,
each for $2,000. One of the companies
paid him the full face of the policy.
The other one. a South Carolina com
pany. a Spartanburg company at
that—the South Carolina Mutual Fire
Insurance Co.—has him tied up. He
cannot open up his store and sell the
goods he has beca ise this company
is so slow in settling. The oomoany
claims that it has been unable to
reach his claim. Such delays—cause
less delays—as this is what has stood
in the way of Southern Insurance
companies. When a man wants In
surance he steers clear of the comr
oanv that will cause him to lose hip
time and tbe possibility of disposing
of what damaged goods he has on
hand. Wte are sorrv to see that a
home company should be the one to
inconvenience the policy holder, for
It stands to reason that those want
ing Insurance win look rather to the
business end of the proposition than
the patriotic and take a policy where
thev can get a settlement without
useless and expensive delays. We
would like to see the insurance mon
ey kept at home. We, may nev^r see
it however, till such tactics as this
company has displayed Is a thing of
the past. Mr. Nelson had nothing to
do with this article. It was penned
in a spirit of fair dealing. We havo
a very high regard for the president
of the company, Mr. Stanyarne Wil
son. but we must condemn the prac
tice of the company as displayed in
thw case.
The above is from the Cherokee
News and The Ledger desires to en
dorse the sentiments expressed. Mir.
Nelson is one of the best men in the
town, and ite a shame that he should
nay out his money for protection and
be treated in such manner. Until
our Southern companies learn to be
prompt with the payment of their
losses they win be regarded as wild
cat insurance companies and will he
shunned by business men.
* Serious Difficulty.
A difficulty seemingly of little Im
portance at the time but which may
develop into something decidedly
serious, occurred Saturday. Ip a dif
ficulty that arose in tbe cibv between
a white man BUI Parks and a negro
Leether Thompson, the white man
was struck In th A head with a nock
and may be seriously hurt. Both am
residents of Cherokee county. Parka
living near Corinth while Thompson
Is. employed on the plantation of Jllr.
Lawson Spabe. Nothing definate
could be learned as to the condition
of Parks yesterday, except that he
wss unable to attend the trial of
Thompson and himself in the city
court on the charge of disorderly con
duct. Garbled accounts coaid be
heard on the streets of the oKv yes
terday from several who brought
more or less startling tales of how
serious the injury is.
Student*’ Rteital.
On Thursday evening at 8:80
o’clock there will be an Interesting
Mano recital at Idmedtobe college
bv students of Miss Miarv Alice Dew.
This program will ha the moont ot
the commencement series of musical
