A copy of each issue will he mailed to our regular subscribers and five hun dred additional papers will be print ed for distribution among the stu dents at the college and the visitors to the city. Merchants desiring to take advantage of this daily edition of The Ledger for advertising pur poses are requested to send in their copy today. • • • It is unfortunate that "Citizen,” should have so worded one of his sentences in his discussion of the bridge matter In last Tuesday’s Led ger in such manner as to draw the fire of the editor of the News. Such Impulsive utterances are not calculat ed to do the writer good nor the one aimed at harm. “Citizen” certainly has a case with too much merit to It to indulge in billingsgate. A temper ate discussion, setting forth the merits of the Gaston Shoals dam site, Is good and proper, but anythin* * short of that will not win adrocatea for "Citizen’s” choice of sites. • • • To the young ladles of Limestone college we bid adieu. Your presence has added sunshine and brightness to our little city. To you who are to return next session we wish a most pleasant summer vacation and trust you’ll return with renewed purpose to equip yourselves for life’s bat tle. To those who have finished and who are going out into the great wide world to explore its beauties and pos sibilities. we wish that genuine hap piness which can only come to those who perform well their duties, and mav their sorrows and disappoint ments bo few indeed, and their cun of happiness filled to overflowing. • • • Pome weeks ago Th-> ledger orint- < d the following editorial paragraph: The weekly press of South Caro- lin * is taking the Columbia Record too seriously in its attempt to call them to task for lack of editorial utterance. In manv respects The Re cord is a snl ndid paper, but we don’t bank on its editorial utterances since | : t failed to make amends after we ''ornered it in an assertion that was ! utterly untrue. Wo admit that The ^ Record was warranted in making the assertion but tbor n was no warrant for its refusal to say it was in error when the error was made perfectly nlaln. Th n re are circumstances which make it necessary for us to apologize to The Record and to. in whatever measure wo can, make amends for printing a hurriedly penned paragraph. It is true that we “corned” The Re cord in a matter concerning United States revenue licenses issued to drug stores in Gaffney, and we failed to see any acknowledgment on the part of The Record, if any was ever made. Bu* it was an injustice for us to print the above paragraph for thf* reason that the present editor of The Record was not in command at that time, and therefore, cannot be held responsible for the sins of omission committed by his predeces sor. .
