I r f THE GAFFNEY LEDG A NEWSPAPER IN ALL THAT THC WORD IMPLIX8. AND DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE OP CHEROKEE COUNTY. ESTABLISHED FEB. 16, 1894. GAFFNEY, 8. C-, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1908. $1.60 A YEAR. PliNTV OF MOKE* IK III1S DOMAIN. j TREASURER OF UNITED STATES MAKES OPTIMISTIC REPORT. Navada Literally covered with Field Mice-U-Othep |nterestin fl Items from Our Whitehouse correspondent Wiashington,\ Dec. 30.—Despite the continued stringency of financial con ditions and the frenzied chase for the dollar, Charles H. Treat, treas urer of the United States, has is sued a very optimistic annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30,' 1907. The following sentence is the first few lines; “The of ordinary revenues over for the fiscal year 1907 L586.30.” Then follows a array of facts and figures [less interest. Your cor- jas always been on the |f the financial question, mind a very esteemed "who is ever ready and anx- 5us and willing to debate the money ^question. During a number of years in newspaper work, this friend would regularly take the writer to task about prevailing conditions, and by facts and a never ending array of figures work it out that the country would either slow up or blow up. He could figure out to a dime or brownie just how many dollars were in circulation, and how many were in the United States treasury vaults, and if you took the time to follow his figures you’d see it Just that way, but this friend, like myself, was not blessed with this world’s goods, the difference being he knew everything about the circulating medium, though an outsider, while I knew nothing. The treasurer of the United States in his .report shows that the total amount of money in circulation for the fiscal year 1907 was $2,772,956,455 and this is an increase of $36,309,827, as compared with that of twelve months earlier. The rapidity of the increase in circulation has been one of the remarkable evidences of busi ness expansion. This country has the largest stock of money of any nation in the world, and at preent its circulation per capita of $52.22 is exceeded only by France. An in teresting fact in connection with this report is a table setting forth the average life of paper currency—that is, the length of years In service of the paper money. One would scarce- fly think that the one dollar silver certificate, the paper dollar so much ly handled, is as long-lived as the United States ten thousand dollar note or the ten thousand dollar gold certificate, but there is very little difference in the “table of mortuary” prepared by the treasury officials. The one dollar silver certificate (is sued first April 11, 1878.) has an aver age lifetime in years of one year and a fraction; the ten thousand dollar gold certificate (issue began Novem ber 15, 1865) has a lifetime of one year and nearly a half, and so with the United States note for $10,000. During the fiscal year the “shovers of the queer” managed to pass only $11,493 in spurious money on the government. There were $486,539,538 in standard silver dollars in the treas- sury at the close of the last fiscal year, and $81,710,444 in circulation. If Robert Browning's “Pied Piper of Hamlin” is still strolling abo*t he could land a good job from Uncle Sam. The Western alfalfa belt of Nevada is literally taken by the field mice, and no remedy from the pest is forthcoming. The farmers can find no effective way of ridding the fields of the mice, and an expert sent by the government has failed. This expert hag reported to Dr. Henshaw of the biological survey that there were probably as many as 8,000 mice to the acre. In following the plow fifteen minutes he was able to catch with his hands more than 135 young mice. It is thought that the agricul tural department will send out some poison supply to stop the ravages of these tiny rodents. Republican, of Oneonta was born In Oneonta, Otsego county, New York, May 6, 1854. He was a son of the late Jesse Fairchild, who canto from sturdy Connecticut stock, being a direct descendant of Thomas Fair- child, who settled in Stratford, Conn., in 1639. His mother is a grand daughter of Thomas Horenus, a Re volutionary soldier of historic renown, and daughter of Jeremiah Morenus, a vetern of the war of 1812. The farm in Oneonta on which Thomas Morenus settled in 1870 is now own ed by Mr. Fairchild, having, since the above date, been continuously in pos session of his mother’s family. Mr. Fairchild secured his early education in the district schools of Oneonta, and at the age of thirteen years left the school to earn his own living. Devoting a year to farm work, he be gan his apprenticeship as a primer in New York and elsewhere, gaining experience that served to broaden and develop his mind. In 1876 Mr. Fairchild returned to Oneonta and became an employee of the Oneonta Herald, which had long been an in fluential journal, reaching a high standard under the ownership of Mr. E. M. Johnson, for many years clerk of the State assembly and secretary of the Republican State committee. In 1882 Mr. Fairchild became part owner of that paper, and in 1890 ac quired entire ownership of the Herald, which ever since has been recognized as the leading Republican journal of Otsego county. He is now president of the Oneonta Herald Publishing Company. During recent years im portant realty, industrial and finan cial interests have taken Mr. Fair- child’s attention. He is president of the International Time Recording Co., of Syracuse. Mr. Fairchild Is vice- president of the Guardian Trust Co.. New York, vice-president of the Na tional Corporation Securities Co., of New York, a director of several manu facturing and financial institutions and member of several New York clubs. He has traveled extensively at home and abroad, is a close ob server and a man of exceptional abili ty and firm integrity. Mr. Fairchild has never before held public office. He wa s married in 1891 to Miss Jesephine Mills Sherman, a niece of the late Joseph G. Mills, of New York city, and their residence at Oneonta is one of the most attract ive in that part of the Empire State. They have one son. Sherman Mills Fairchild. He hag always been act ively identified with the interests of his native town and ever ready to substantially assist every enterprise for the good of the community and the public welfare. He was elected to the Sixtieth Congress, receiving 24.474 votes to 23,215 for Wal ter Scott, Democrat. Independence League and Prohibitionist. Fil*.

Applications for positions on the Isthmus flood tbe Canal commis sion at the rate of about 300 per day. This increase is believed by the com mission to be due to the' curtailing of various enterprises in the United States and the more settled, comfort able and healthful conditions which now prevail on the Isthmus.

Jan. 4.—The Nine teenth Century club held its annual banquet Tuesday night at the homS f .dr. and Mis. Allie Osborne. The , large building was brilliantly lighted and presented a bright and cheerful appearance, both outside and in. The members of the club and the In vited guests made a company of about thirty. After the usual roll call by the sec retary, Mrs. p. H. Freeman, and re sponsive quotations from each mem ber and guest the president, Mrs. O. A. Osborne, gave to the guests a very cordial and gracious welcome in well chosen words, which on behalf of the guests wa s . responded to by Dr. Wni. Anderson. There were readings of choice selections by several members of the club, which were interspersed with delightful music, both vocal and instrumental, the latter artistically rendered by Mlsg Tolleson, of Spar- .inburg, who was the guest of Mrs. Allie Osborne, after which a very amusing part of the exercises was given in the Initiation of the husbands of three of the newly elected mem- berg. Supper was then announced and the company ushered into the large dining room which was beauti fully decorated in green and red. the club colors. The table which greeted eyes of the guests was loaded with the great est variety of those delicious and sub stantial viands for which the mem bers of the club are famous. Mingled with this feast for the physical man was a feast of wit, hu mor and good cheer, which caused the moments to pass so swiftly that before they were aware the old year was dead and “There was a new foot on the floor. A new face at the door," and after appropriate greetingg to the New Year and best wishes for eack one, the merry company departed to their homes happier and better for having come together. The first installment of subscrip tions to the Blacksburg cotton mill will be paid In verv soon. While the site for the mill has not been defi nitely decided upon yet, it is very probable that It will be the C. B. By. ars tract, which. Is an admirable loca tion for tbe mill for all purposes.
