T. Rogers, the jeweler, has sold his property in the upper part of the cltv to Mr. W. Sam Lipscomb. The Ledger is pleased to announce that this does not mean that Mr. Rogers will leave Gaffney. Judge Camp sat so hard upon an important case the other day that it is said he broke the bottom out of his chair. Responsibilities are very weighty at times, and are often at tended with disastrous results. John Wilkins, the accommodating superintendent of the local telephone system, has the advantage over the ordinary individual in the business for the reason that very often he can dispense with the use of a ladder.

No institution can stand still; It will either go forward or backward.
