THANKSGIVING AT
SALEM CHURCH.
REV. J. R. STEVENSON PREACHES
HOME MISSION SERMON-
The Sage 0 f E tta J ane Visits Gaffney |
and Dines W'th W- J- Wilkins — ,
I Lowe r Cherokee Notes.
Wilkinsville, Nov. 30.—Kev. J. P. j
! Stevenson, of Spartanburg, preached 1
! a very fine and appropriate sermon
* at Salem on Thursday—Thanksgiving
day. His texet was the 117th Psalm.
A collection was taken up to aid a
1 young man in the theological semi- >
I nary and our people responded very
liberally to this noble cause. Untor-
| tunately, however, we have a large
number of people in the Presbyterian
church who take but little or no in
terest in such causes. They seem to
think the work will go on as well
without their assistance as with it. I
It does so, however. Mr. Stevenson
went from here to Lockhart where he
preached Thursday night. This was
Mr. Stevenson’s first visit to our com
munity and our people were very
favorably impressed with him. He is
engaged in the Home Mission work
and is eminently - qualified to dis-'
charge it. There are now six vacant
I fields in Enoree Presbytery and
several in other parts of the State.
Nothing is known definitely at this i
time what the Limestone and Salem
group will do but the Salem congre
gation expect to have a theological
I student to fill their pulpit until some
permanent arrangements can be
made by which a pastor’s service can
! be secured. What’s everybody’s busi
ness is nobody’s and nobody will at-1
tend to it.
The last report from Mr. J. Ed
! Ix»ech was more favorable than the
J preceding one. He is still in the hos
pital at Chester but is expected tu
i come home today.
Mrs. .Joe Estes and Misses Ola and
Jessie West went to Gaffney last Wed
nesday un a shopping occasion.
The schools were not in session last
Thursday.
Mr. Kichard Sprouse, of I^ockhart,
came up to Salem on Thursday and
‘ tuok Rev. Mr. Stevenson to Jx>ekhart
i on Tursday evening.
We made a short trip to our capi
tal city on Wednesday and had the
' pleasure of meeting many of our
: friends and acquaintances from differ-
•mit sections of the county, also sever-
| al of the Methodist ministers who
were attending their church court. !
I They are a fine looking set of men,
! inteiligent, robust and generally good
! looking and all good talkers. In com-,
j pany with Rev. Mr. Stevenson, we
j had the pleasure of dining with two
I of them at Mr. W J. Wilkins’ on Wed-
| nesday where we were most hospit- j
; ably entertained by them and our
‘ fair hostes, Mrs. \\*ilkins, who, by the
| way, is an old acquaintance and
schoolmate of Rev. Mr. Stevenson. 1
They are both natives of the grand
old State of Alabama. There is one 1
thing of which we are proud and
which is worthy of more than a pass
ing notice, and that Is the unanimity
with which the people of Gaffney,
irrespeqjtive of denomination, work to
make the occasions which bring their
brethren and sisters of other churches
together in this city. It’s everybody’s
work and all are interested to see
that these occasions are both profit
able and pleasant All have tried It
and (heir visitors are fulsome In their
praises of the manner in which the
people of Gaffney looked after their
comfort and pleasure. Gaffney Is no
one-horse town nop are its people a
set of narrow-minded bigots. They
are equal to any occasion which comes
their way. The next big thing will
he the State Press Association that
meets there next spring.
Mr. j. A. M. Estes sold tw’enty-nine
dollars worth of turkeys at Gaffney
last week and has about twenty-five
dollars worth yet to sell. He has
raised about fifty this year.
The young people had «'* pound par
ty at Mr. W. P. Goforth’s Thursday
nighr.
Thursday night the rain set in again
and the roads are in a had fix with
mud. With a few freezes and a little
more rain, they will be almost imnas-
sabie.
Your correspondent has been feel-1
ing unwell fop a day or two and not
able to be out much to gather news
for The Ledger readers. So much
had weather is a test of people’s pa
tience as well ag health.
There is still a small quantity of|
cotton in the field waiting for weather
and somebody to pick it out.
Mr. W. R. Walker’s hands are
shredding corn mhkirig feed for his
cattle on bis Sunnyside farm.
Mr. Martin Roberts lias rented out
Ids farm and will move near Shelby,
N. C., soon where he will farm next
vear.
Chicken thieves have been at work
lately. It has been several years
since thebe pests have troubled this I
section i great deal, but they are now
in evidence very much at times.
Sam Strain has rigged up a two-
horse team to carry his mail
Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Strain have been
scouring out their house with a view
of occupying it soon. This is a work
some people never see any use. in.
They don't like t<* wear out the floor
too fast. Resides, it’s too expensive
on elbow grease, they seem to think,
if we are to judge by their actions.
Wheat sowing is not progressing
as we would b<“ glad to see it. Many
of our farmers neglect it altogether.
They think the\ can raise cotton and
buy their flour cheaper than they can
raise it.
Between here and Gaffney we no-;
tice there are some dangerous holes.
In the Hammett lane there are some i
farmers and hlg example ought to in
duce others to try it.
The first Issue of the daily Ledger
is a daisy and speaks well for Its
management. There is nothing that
we can see to prevent its appearing
dally from now on. The enterpris
ing spirit of the town and the county
around it, justifies a daily paper to
make its appearance in the line of
march, and we have no idea that an
other year wUl draw to a close with
out our seeing it.
To those who have sent us their
answers to our last problem we will
say that If the third of five be three,
one-fifth of twenty will he 7 1-5.
United we stand, divided we fall.
Solomon says: “He that ruleth his
own spirit is greater than lie who tak-
cth a city.”
We would he very sorry to think
that in our efforts to bring about bet
ter times anything should be said or
done by anyone to thwart that pur
pose. or that any irreconcilable fetid
should he generated between the
farmers and business men of this
county. The man, or set of men. who
would do this are not working in the
right spirit.
We have been asked to explain why
a horseshoe is considered an omen of
good luck. The idea is a supersti
tious one. Horseshoes are nailed over
doors as a protection against witches.
Its considered lucky to pick up a
horseshoe. Our superstitious fore
fathers would for tills reason nail
horseshoes over their doors. Lord
Nelson had one nailed to the mast of
his ship “Victory.” In the Tower of
London is a curious armor w’orn by
King Henry VII! (1490-1547), which
was a present from the Emperor
Maximilian I, of Germany (1459-1519)
to the English king, on his marriage
in 1509 with Katherine of Arragon.
Upon it is the congratulatory word,
“Gluck,” a word from the Gothic lan
guage signifying prosperity. Its an
old an,] superstitious idea kept alive
by the weak-minded who, if they put
faith in it, are not responsible for its
origin. While we don't suppose the
horseshoe had anything to do with it,
Lord Nelson was one of the most suc
cessful naval commanders the world
vo;- Knew. Ife fought over 120 bat
tles, in one of which ho lost his right
eye; in another his right arm, hut he
kept his place to the end. which
closed with his annihilating the
French and Spanish fleets off the
Bay of Trafalgar, in this action he
was shot through the shoulder by a
French rifleman and lived only three
hours afterwards. Learning the day
was won, he die ( ] composedly, his last
words being; “Thank God. I’ve done
my duty. J. L. S.

What is causing the increase of
Catarrh In Gaffney?
In spite of the best efforts of medi
cal men, caterrhal troubles are in
creasing not only in Gaffney, but all
over the country.
Catarrh is a germ disease, and to
cure it g rm life in the breathing or
gans should be destroyed, and to do
this no other treatment has such pos
itive and beneficial action as Hyomei
When the mucous membrane is ir
ritated and raw and the tissues w-eak
ened. there is an ideal lodging place
for catarrhal germs. Breathe Hyomei
and see how quickly it soothes the
membranes, vitalizes the tissues and
destroys all the disease germs, ren
dering catarrh no longer possible.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used;
no tablets or liquid mixtures destroy
ing digestion.
