In tlio citv of Brook
Ivn, N. Y., thore has bo»Mi
for many years a con
spicuous signboard out
side an office which
reads, “KICK THE
PRINTER.”
Bibulous persons
sometimes go inside to
carry out the apparent
request, bflt they dis-
/ cover that the printer is
a gentleman by the name
of Kick.
In every town there
are persons who, if they
do not actually feel like
kicking the printer—the
newspaper man—at any
rate do a lot of kick
ing at the way he con-
ducts his paper.
Please DON’T kick
the printer; he is doing
the best he can.
And what he does
for the town and community, despite his occasional mis
takes, may be a great deal more than the kickers themselves
are doing. Did THAT ever occur to you?
• We are all neighbors in this town. What helps one
helps the others. What hurts one hurts the others. Every
community is a mutual benefit association, whether organ
ized or just running wild. The printer is a charter member.
If you had no printer—no newspaper—how would you
like that ? Do you know wl at happens to towns that don't
support a newspaper? Nothing happens. Nothing ever
hapnens in a town like that. As soon as things begin to
happ n in a town the newspaper comes along and tells about
them. »
The newspaper boosts the town. It records progress
and offers suggestions, by the editor or the readers, as to
further prog re.-s. Every copy of every issue advertises tin*
town. This is all free advertisement. It costs the town
nothing. It costs the people nothing. It is a part of the
busihc-s.
hi view of this fact, which nobody can dispute, it is
much better to pat the printer on the shoulder now and
then or to speak kindly of him than to kick him.
CLIFTON CHRONICLES.
What la Transpiring in a Large Mill
Town.
Clifton, Oct. 14.—Considerable frost
was found this morning, the first for
this season, and tender plants show
the touch.
Rev. John L- Harley closed a series
of revival meetings last night at the
Methodist church, which he had been
conducting for about ten days, with
untiring energy. The true result of
1 the meeting we are unable to state,
, but we think it was very good. He

1 Mr. H. M. Smith has resigned his

at Clifton No. 1, and accepted the i
position of overseer of both carding |

No 1. Besides being an efficient i
overseer, Mr. Smith is a man who'
stands high in the estimation of his

j of general regret.
“Somebody’’ told a friend of ours'
. recently that your worthy correspond- i
ent, “J. L. S.,” of lower Cherokee, is j
going to remove to North Carolina, '
* J where he goes to take charge, of a I
; saw mill. This information came
rather as a surprise to the writer who
; was unaware that his (J. I,. S.’s) me-
| chanical . knowledge had grown so
f rapidly, and had fitted him up for the
* controllership of such industry in
* j such short time. But we can only
■ , say success to his enterprise, and
shall eve r feel reluctant to give him
1 1 up to become a Tarheel without first
* obtaining from him something as a
i memento or keepsake, upon which
j we may loob with fond reniember-
* | ance of him while he is rolling and
‘ tumbling about those monster saw
'logs that come from the huge pines
i that dot the hills of the Old North
! State. And if Mr. J. L. S. will kindly
afford us the privilege of our own
] choice of what the coveted memento
shall be, we shall insist that it he a
lock of his hair taken from the very
top of his head.
In this section of the country th"
crops (of all kinds) are pronounced
the best that have been in a numner
of years. This is cheering to thins
that the people have something once
in their lives with which they are
thus far satisfied. As a general rule
there is always a source of complaint
lying in the path of every one we
meet and nothing is greater annoy-
| ance than to hear people murmuring
and complaining over unavoidable fail
ures and difficulties, etc.

bello, is teaching a singing school at
A C*H Farmers.
To the partners of Cherokee County:
I have a letter from the South Caro
lina division of the Southern Cotton
Association asking me to call a meet
ing of the people of this county to
find out as nearly as possible how
many bales of cotton the farmers are
holding for the minimum price, and
also more especially to plead earnest
ly for every citizen to bring a collect
ion for the association, as Mr. E. D.
Smith and the other officials are work
ing for nothing. \Ve have gotten too
much out of the association to ask
these men to do such hard work
gratuitously. Be sure and come to
(Jaffney on Wednesday the 2:ird and
bring a good contribution for our as
sociation. I call this meeting on the
23rd for the reason that on that day
the National Covernment will have
an expert se d man here to inform
you as to what seed to plant to get
the best returns. Be sure to come.

None Dissatisfied in Cherokee.
(Commercial Advocate.)
One would suppose by the efforts
being made to prevent an election on
the new county question, that a new
county must be a terrible proposition.
Ask Bamberg and Cherokee what
they think of their new counties.
Ask. if you don’t think the people are
satisfied in those counties. Editors
DeCamp, of the Gaffney Ledger, ami
Knight, of the Bamberg Herald, can
give an idea how many people are
dissatisfied, and it would not take
them any longer than you could
count two, to tell you either.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
From a Forme r Qaffneyite.
St. George, Oct. 13.—I see a copy
of The Ledger occasionally, and read
with pleasure of the continued
growth of Gaffney.
Maybe a few lines from this low
j country will be of interest to your
j readers.
A few days ago the annual camp
I meeting at Indian Fields was held.
This camp ground, which is four
j miles from St. George, is the largest
; in the State. There are about one
| hundred tents. It was well attended
this year. There were about three
thousand people present on Sunday
! to the estimation of some. The hos
pitality - of the tent holders was un-|
bounded. Camp meeting is a great
event in this community.
Crops are good. The w>il is easily
i cultivated and produces well when
, properly fertilized and worked. IJogs
abound. So do sausage and puddings,
! the good old kind, not your modem
meat market kind. It seems to me
| that the farmers can make a good
| living easier here than in any other
| place i know of.
This is a fish country. If I jfsthad

The gentlemen who composed the
convention of Knights of Pythias
will compare favorably with any other
fraternal order in the’ State. They
were all gentlemen of culture and
refinement, and Gaffney would be
glad to have them come again.

Mr. E. H Aull, the managing edi
tor of the South Carolina Pythian,
who was here for the convention, Is
a very affable gentleman. He Is al
so a man of brains and executive
ability. The Grand Lodge could not
have selected a better man for this
great work.

Dr. Thornwell. the grand keeper of
records and seal of the grand do
main of South Carolina, who has a
warm place in the heart of every
loyal Pythian in the State, added
much to the pleasure of the conven
tion by his wise suggestions and safe
counsel.

needed In Gaffney, and badly needed
at that, and t^ is a modern up-to-

more to advertise our town than any
thing else. It would bring myre peo

A traveling man informed us the
other day that numbers of traveling
men leave Columbia every Saturday
to go to Greenwood to spend Sunday
where they have a first class hotel.

The seventh convention of the
sixth division of K. of P. of the
Grand Domain of South Carolina, is
over and all of the delegates in leav
ing our city expressed themselves as
being well pleased with the treat
ment which they received while in
Gaffney. One of the most pleasing
features of the programme w^ the
concert at Limestone College Tues
day afternoon. The worthy president
of the Institution and Professor uo-
ring, the musical director, the ladies
of the faculty and the students who
assisted in the entertainment will be
most gratefully remembered by the
Limestone Lodge and tbe visiting
delegates.
