Nov. 5.—One of our neighbor* in speaking to another about the absolute safety of money when placed in one of the Gaffney banks said: “They let the big safe down In a water tank at night and it la covered,” “But,” says the other “don’t the water ‘seep in’ at the key hole? - “Oh no.” said the fellow “it’s -water and fire-proof.” We have taken occasion to speak of the arrangements these banks had for taking care of the money in their possession. It would make no dif ference If these safes were left out In the streets with their enclosures, they could osly be Interfered wlta by rob bers and safe blowers hauling them off—that there was no device on earth by which they could be opened ex cept that in the possession of the bank officials themselves. But our friend has found out that they are safer than we ever imagined them to be. With good weather and health „ farmers will get well through with their cotton picking this week. This shows that the crop Is an unusually light one. It’s about time for some calculator to let us know how many million bales will be made this year. * The glnnner’s renort Is well up with the picking in this section. We don’t know how it is elsewhere. Mr. R. E. Enloe has been nursing a sore wrist for sometime. He got a fall that injured it several weeks ago. Mr. Sam Strain has made a good crop of "goobers” this year. The vines make spendld cow feed, too. With the exception of a few chills this country has never been healthier at this eeason of the year than It Is now. V r *. Jessie Blackwell has been •ewlng for Mrs. J. L. S. The old lady ia bo flxy that she won’t trust her own eyes and fingers to do her nice work, hut she taught her daughters. •Hie girl that don’t know how to mahe her own dresses, bake a loaf of bread or a pound cake, and do other kinds of domestic work, has been unfortunate In her training in housewifery. The carrier on Gaffney R. F. D. No. 9 handled over 4.000 pieces of mail matter last month, and tho mat ter still Increases. Mr. James O. Gamer speaks . of leasing the Thomson mills for five years and doing considerable repair ^vork on them, besides adding a gin- nerv and saw mill to the plant. In this day of commercla'. activity we hear very little talk of the new railroad that isc oming through this section. When peonle got cotton off the brain it will then come up again. We must have a railroad, and Gaffney must get It too. A road running nearly lengthwise through Cherokee count v will develop more water pow er and valuable territory than any tectinn we know of. Let it come, we Bay. From present prospects we are go ing to have a field full of candidates for the various nrticra to be filled next year. Tbe more the merrier.

At last one of the soldiers, or rather ruf fians called to her and told her the i corn crib was on fire and she had I better go and put it out. Her reply was that she hadn't put the fire there and she was not going to put it out; I that she was protecting something , more dear thau her corn crib—her ' family. Calling to an officer (tne moat gentlemanly looking man in the ; crowd) she asked him if she was not entitled to some protection, and he ordered the “roughs” to disperse, and gave her a guard, with orders to pro tect her at whatever cost It might incur. He also made the plunderers put out the fire and leave her prem ises. She is one of the Rocky creek Irish, and boasts of her blood—noble woman. Brother "S,” Its the quality of the brain rather than the quantity we are interested in. if we do undertake the distilling business in North Carolina we will make only the best of “Ranty- tanty,” and not that kind of “spllsh- spiash" rot gut that "po white folks and niggers” get. We may make an occasional run of “Jibblejore” to sup ply the cheap trade—those who are not particular to get the best— “Ranty-tanty.” If our farmers, like Mr. W. R. Walker, could control the price of their products, they would oe all right and get their own prices. He will today sell $1,500 worth of cattle and have the "long green” counted out to him. Rev. C- M.

The Progressive Farmer, of Ra leigh, N. Cm has Just received reports on the cotton crop yield and condi tion from Fanners r union and Cotton Association presidents of every Southern State. Most interesting of all is the report from President D. J. Neill, of the Texas Farmers’ Union, numbering hundreds of thousands of Texas members. He Bays: "The cotton crop of Texas will be between 45 and 50 per cent, of the usual yield. This estimate is based upon reports from 4,800 local Union* of the State, and 1b not a car-window guess. Farmers’ Union members are holding at least 70 per cent, of their cotton. Reports from Georgia and Alabama Indicate short crops. South Carolina reports good crop, a yield of 1,000.000 bales; farmers holding. Arkansas crop is 35 per cent, off last year’s yield. Tennessee reports three-fourths of the usual crop. "Louisiana’s usual crop Is 1.000,000 bales; this year it wil not be over 500.000.” gays the Farmers’ Union authoritieu. Mir-Ml 0 - sippi's crop is practically the same as last year.

Kenneth Baker, mayor of Greenwood, delivered an address to the Woman's Foreign and Home Mis sionary Society of the Lutheran church, in their handsome new church in Spartanburg, on Wednesday even ing. November 4th. The general trend of his address was along the line of personal and In dividual effort to promote the up building and spread of Christian enm ity. a work- in which every living soul has vital affilliations. Each and every one should add his mite of assistance in his sphere, to help his fellowman to a betterment of his spiritual life. We of this enlightened age. an a?e of rush for things of this world, seem to he lost in the malestrom of busi ness and target that our Christian civ ilization is the result of primary mis sion work.

"Do you know who Noah was?’ A shake of the head, and the question was passed on. Finally the teacher said: “Did you eve r hear about Solomon, dear?” Here was an acquaintance at last, and the little girl’s face broke into smiles, “Oh, yes,” she Replied, confl dentiy, "I know him all the way through. ‘Solomon Grundy, horn on Monday.’ Want me to say ail the rest?” Appendicitis Is due in a large measure to abuse of the bowels, by employing drastic purg.itlveA To avoid all dan"f'r. no» only Dr. King’s New Life Pills, the safe, gentle cleansers and Invlgorat- ors.

Mr. Editor:—There was an editorial in Tuesday’s Ledger asking *t>out the committee to investigate the county’s affairs. The act providing for the commis sion required that a man out of the county be secured to examine the treasurer’s office. Gen. J. P. Derham was recommended to the commission. He had been county auditor, chief clerk in the comptroller general s oi- flee and comptroler general, and the commission, at first, considered them selves fortunate in securing his ser vices. Gen. Derham came here and when he said he had finished his work, was sick and said he would take his* notes, etc., home and write his report and give us the result of hi 8 investigation—a true financial condition of the county. I have Written to Gen. Derham six times since September 3rd begging for his report but have been unable to get any reply from him except a short Itter in answer to my fourth lette r in which he stated that he would send his report in a few days. This has been over a month ago and I don’t believe he would have written then but for the fact that I registered my letter to him. The commission has decided to wEiste no more time on him and will do the work itself and have the report published• Just ns soon as the exami nation of the trea-orer’s office can he completed. If Gen. Derham had done his duty, had measured up to the commission’s expectations, the report would have been published long ago. yours truly, G W. Speer. Ohm of Commission. The Farmers’ union. Editor Ledger:—Please allow me to state a few lines to those who do not believe in the Farmers Union. I shall not say they are a false teller or some kind of a low down man. but have the following to say; If our union was not good and our intention honorable, we could not have proceeded so far into this almost monopolized world. Nor would we I have been honored with patronage of many illustrious men of ali ages who have ever shown themselves ready to act honestly by all and to defend us from all adversities. / It is well with the world, my master, It Is well with the world and you; When we move along with a smile and song, Amid the tasks we are set to do. And the smile and the song of the people Should be ever your compass and chart; Oh, ’tls well with you, when the song rings true. That comes from the people’s heart.
