It la not the policy of thla paper to attack any man or aet of men. We believe that the officers who are In charge of the affaire of our city and county are all honest and conscientious In the discharge of their several duties. We believe fur ther that the affairs of Gaffney and Cherokee county are being conducted in a more business like and econo mical manner, and If this is the case it Is the solemn duty of every citi zen of the county to support the ad ministration, and bid them godspeed in their efforts to give ua a safe and economical government. Financially our county is in a most flourishing condition. A gentleman who knows whereof he speaks recently Informed us that we have enough money in the treasury to settle the railroad bonds as fast as they become due. it is a well known fact that the taxes in our county are considerably lower than they are in either Spartanburg, Union or York, thus demonstrating the wisdom of cutting loose from these counties and forming a govern ment of our own. We sincerely be lieve that the time is not far distant when Cherokee will be known as the banner county of the State, and it is the purpose of the writer in the near future to point out in an article why he believes this to be so. Referred to tne widow. (Newberry Herald end News.) Well, well, the engagement of Zach McGhee—the original and only Zach —has been announced. There la. yet hope for Ed. Norment and Ed.

Columbians wonder why. When a man borows trouble he puts up his piece of mind as collate ral. PERSONAL paragraphs. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The county fair will come up for consideration at the Board of Trade meeting next Friday night. The time Is now to commence. If yon have any interest in your town come out to the Board of Trade Friday night at 7:30. You are needed. A dozen men can’t do all the work of the Board of Trade. • • • That excellent paper, the Gastonia Gazette, comes out in an industrial edition setting forth the advantages of Gastonia and Gaston county In a manner which would reflect credit upon a metropolitan paper in a town five times the size of Gastonia. The young men who are at the head of this paper deserve great credit for this piece of splendid enterprise. • * • A negro was tried in Magistrate Bridge’s court Thursday charged with killing a dog. The defendant was re presented by J- B., Bell, hut the prose cutor and the magistrate both being on the other side, the defendant, of course, was convicted! The negro was fined a ten spot or thirty days on the gang. He gave bond and ap pealed to the court of sessions. • • • Friday night is the regular meeting of the Board of Trade. The question of town sewerage will be up for con sideration. A proposition will be presented to vote $65,000 in bonds and commence work next spring, and af ter the constitutional limit Is raised vote as many additional bonds as may be needed. By this plan a year will be gained in completing the worb. Nothing will add so much to Gaffney as sewerage. Sewerage secured, a modem hotel will follow. e • • Le: us hear from some of our farm er friends what they think of the county fair idea. We know that the farmers are busy now gathering their corn and cotton, but we intend to keep this idea agitated as long as there is any prospect of its being suc cessful. We know of no better way of taking a few days recreation after a year’s hard work than to attend a county fair. It seems to The Ledger that the young people of each neigh borhood should become enthused over the Idea and urge their fathers and mothers to give the project their hearty support. It Is useless for the town of Gaffney to attempt to carry out the idea unless the hearty support' of the farmers of the county can be secured, so let’s get a move on us, and in 1908 all meet In Gaffney at our first annual fair.

All these things con spire to make her great; and we honestly believe that her greatness is due to the latter factor, that her people have always been so thorough ly united upon any question which was calculated to promote enterprise, or to advance the city’s interest.
