THAT GASTON SHOALS BRIDGE.
The Piedmont Observer, published
at Blacksburg is “agin" the building
of a bridge at the dam. 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? You know it would not.

The Ledger understands from a

little or no trouble to establish a fer-

Informed that Mr. Hobbs, one of the
head men on the work, sav* he will
blast out any rock that may be in the
way of the ferry boat. That being
the case Its up to County Supervisor
Lipscomb to look into the matter and
take care of the interests of the. mer

Mayor’s Court.
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

ceived the benefit of the practice and
incidentally a berth in the county
lail. The affair originated over
a debt of eleven dollars between
the two negroes. The bullet lodged
in Babe Kirby’s knee. H© will re
cover. Deputy Jlfaeriff W. 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.

There’s no copyright on it-any clothier can sing it. It’s no trouble to quote prices and, unless you see the
garments at the price, the price cuts no figure. What you get for your money is what tells the tale. We be
lieve our Suits at the prices quoted are better than others at a like price and we ask you to examine them. If
they are not better, don’t buy them - don’t think of buying them. Put us to the test.
TRUNKS, SUIT CASES, BAGS, ETC.
There are plenty of good, high-priced Trunks and there are, unfortunately, plenty of the low-priced kind
that are always likely to spill your lingerie on the station plaiform. We’ve Coed Trunks at Moderate

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?
Catarrh is an Inflammation of the
mucous membrane of the nose, throat
and lungs, with many annoying gvmp- j
toms. In this climate there are few
who do not suffer from this disagree
able disease, often a chronic and
dangerous state.
The one scientific and common-
sensa treatment is Hyomel. a combi
nation of healing and germ-killing
balsams which is breathed through
a social Inhaler that comes with
every outfit
A complete Hyomel outfit costs but
$1.00, and the Gaffney Drug Co. give
their personal guarantee with every
package that money will be refunded
unless the tratment cures.

the New York Times.
Mrs. Marla Sereuto, thirty-five years

to Itoard a car. Three of them passed
her, the motoruae^ paying no heed to
her siguals. Finally Maria lost her
temper.
*T stoppa da uext chr or there be
something doing, you kin belta,” said
she as she took up a positlou in the
middle of the track.
Another car came along. As it ap
proached Maria took a big revolver
from her pocket of her skirt and point
ed it at the motorman.
“Stoppa da car, you,’’ she command
ed.
The motorman applied the brakes
•nd ducked behind the dashboard. Ma
ria was about to board the car in tri
umph when she was arrested for car
rying concealed weapons. She was
held for examination.
