Hear it: The Ledger says it has been inti mated that one of the commissioners refused to vote to erect the bridge over the dam at Gaston Shoals be cause the improvement contemplated would not directly benefit one of the members of that. Which member was this, please? Could you not by some persuasive logic, or otherwise, bring this one member around before the next meeting of the board It seems te us that there might have be_ep more than one member who was not bene fited. because it took a majority of six to vote the proposition down and the mnutes show, if anything, that the vote was unanimous against it. So. to carrv the matter through, you will have to make a majority see the “ben- *0111. “There is no denying the fact that such a bridge would open up a new territory. ’ Yes, in Cleveland county, as it is only two and a half miles from the dam to the North Carolina line but who would be benefited by “open ing up new territory’’—the Wilkins- ville settlement, the Timber Ridge settlement, the White Plains settle ment. the Ezell’s settlement, the An- tiocn settlement or the Kings Creek settlemen?

The mayor had a soft snap con ducting mayor’s court Saturday as only one case appeared and it of so little consequence that it failed to disturb the usual calm of the oity court chamber. A mayor’s court of any consequence has become a thing of the past and for the mayor to find any cases for his care when the court chamber is opened, is now quite out of the ordinary. This is as it should be. when it is known that Gaffney’s police force is no where excelled and no offender, however slight his of fense may be. can escape their clutches. Shooting at Ga*ton Shoals. Two negroes eirjployed at the camps of the Dravo Contracting com pany engaged in a little target practice Sunday.

Charles Durham went to tn© scene and placed both negroes under arrest. Kirby, the negro who was shot, was later released. Peeler is now in jadl. SUIT SI - SUITSI m rM ■/? S' m Ederheimer, Stein & Go.

CARROLL & BYERS “STOPPA DA CAR.” County Jail Prisoners. Deputy Sheriff Charles Durham as sumed a sad and superstitious look when a Ledger man enquired as to the number of inmates the county 1ail now has. This is accounted for by his doleful answer, thirteen. And the end is not vet. the one making the number that awful number, thirteen, was incarcerated on the thirteenth day of the month. Deputy Sheriff Durham while not in the least superstitious, must wonder wjio the fatal thirteen bids ill for. the nriaon- ers or the officers. Time will tell. WHAT 18 CATARRH?
