Several weeks ago our good friend, the Rev. J. D. Bailey, of Cowpens, j • presented The Ledger with a pound | Ciaim of Central Figure in Recent Contro- ut the most delicious honey we nave i v kt a ever tasted, and at the same time! versy Is Novel. took occasion to give us a little in- „ , _ formation in regard to bees and I „ rhs ne ^ ^janced by L.

This from the bloom of the cotton plant by the Italian bee. in speaking of the possibill^ii's of this product Mr. Bally said: “Every year thousands and hun dred of thousands of pounds of honey atte:ricn that the public in cities vltfvcJ r r the young man has been joined by many physicians in ft dis cussion of his beliefs and medicines. ?.Ir.

All that Is needed to save It, is for waste In the Southern cotton fields., alleviating all stomach disorders. He further says that most men and wom en of this generation are half-sick, owing to degenerate stomachs. And lastly, he claims that his New Dis covery medicine will rejuvenate the human stomach in 90 days. Cooper has been traveling from one city to another, conducting in each what he calls a campaign of education. For the past year he has met the public in the larger cities everj* farmer to have from five to twenty-live colonies of pure Italian: bees. The first year that I got' a colony, while they were purs, they made for me twenty-four pounds; in fourteen days, or more than a I pound and a half per day. That year I got over eighty pounds from that colony, which, at the market price, was worth more than ten dollars. been phenomenal. Thousands of people have flocked to his headquar ters wherever he has gone, and the siilo of his medicine has been beyond p'V’hirg of the kind ever before witnessed. J’osslbly the most interesting fea* Lire of tho attention this young man i js attiacte l is what his army of followers, whom ho has converted to i « beliefs through his medicines, have to say on the subject. The fol lowing statements are from two well ’ . n residents of Chicago and Bos ton, respectively, and the enthvsUsm r r these Is characteristic of Cooper’s a Inilrors generally. Mrs. H. B. Mack, of 3201 .State rtroot, Chicago, says: “I have been r ifferlng for 12 years from a com bination of stomach troubles, cat t -hl r\nd constipation.

Crown and bridge work • specialty But before the Italian bee will be a co-jatry, and his success has success, all the old black bees must be gotten rid of. They are the curse of the honey business ta this coun try. One colony of black bees will destroy every Italian colony for mile* around in just a few years. ()"f course it is done by hybridizing. According to the information given mo by a distinguished ‘bee man.' the length of the tongues of the black bee is about IG-lOO of an inch, which is too short to gather 'the cotton honey. The length of that of the Italian Is about 24-100 of an inch which is all right for the cotton, but a few crosses with the blacks m^kes them too short and hence worthless. So It is no use for a farmer to go to the ex pense of getting a stock of Italians (which are high) unless he can pre vail on every one for five miles around to get rid of their blacks. This tlv>y ought to be willing to do because they '.re worthless One man could soon supplv his neighbors with Ital ians because they increase very rapidly. I have gotten as high as five colcni^from one in a single season, f .coWse it is understood that no ’ is to be used only the patented the old box -s worthless.” his subject should appeal to the re^sive farmers of the cotton Simply to illustrate the possl- biHf* of the subject we submit the following figures for consideration: Therd are 25,000 people in Cherokee opunty. Averaging five persons to the j^mily gives 5,000 fayriilies. Of this number 15.000 people, or 3,000 fami lies. live in the country. Supposing each family had only one colony of bees, and each colony worked from the middle of July until the middle of September and gathered one and a half jxmnds per day, that would be about 45,000 pounds of honey a day. In sixty days they would gather 270,- 000 pounds, which, at 12 1-2 cents per pound, would net. if we mistake not, 233,750. This sum could easily be added to the value of the cotton plant In this county and it is possible tf make it $70,000 and over each y r Mr. Bailey got over $10 worth f'rom one colony. If the 3,000 farmers each got $10 worth a year that would be $30,000. Will not our farmers take this matter into consideration? As matters now stand they are allowing approximately $70,000 to be wasted every year. It is not so much what we make as it is what we save that profits ue. There is no other plant in all the world so valuable as the cotton plant. With the perfection of the Cotton Stalk Fiber Machine (which is a cer tainty)—thus creating a market for the fiber and the pulp of the cotton stalk, the commercial uses already developed for the product of the cot ton seed, the cotton itself, and the hoes making honey from the bloom, there will be r.o waste whatever, ex* * cept the leaves, and they really en rich the ground, so there is no waste. •We will have more to say on this subject, but for the present let Chero kee county farmers consider the plan suggested by Mr. Bailey to save the $70,000 that goes to waste yearly which the little busy bee could gather uid save. of a dull pain that I oonld not quite tun derstand. Then there was a dull head- £2 ache', and my mind seemed to be m wandering continually. I could not i a eat, and what little solid food I did B eat I could not retain on my stomach, i ■ I tried every remedy I could think of, ■ ff and also tried out a number ot patent , k medicines, but without any apparent j result It was through one of my I ^ friends that I heard of Cooper's prep- ;»• aration, and I immediately decided aj to try some of it. It is two weeks i B since I took my first dose of it, and I feel like a new woman. The head- ache seems to have disappeared, and m the pain in u?y stomach along with ” it The medicine is worth its weight in gold, and I want to thank Mr. | <3 Cooper for what he has done for ^ me.” -,S Mr. Edwin F. Morse, of 20 Oakley si street Dorchester, a suburb of Boa- * ton, says: “For three years I had 5| not a well day. My stomach was in A frightful shape: the mere thought ot j * food would nauseate me, and I really S had a horror of anything to eat All solid food would cause me extreme Pi indigestion, bloating and gas on my m stomach, and nothing tasted right, jgj Some time ago I got some of this Cooper’s medicines, about which there is so much talk. I actually feel as well and strong as a hoy ever since the first bottle. Every sign of stomach trouble has disappeared, and I have a hearty appetite and eat three square meals; every thing seems to taste good. Anyone who knows what chronic Indigestion ia can appreciate what this means to me. I consider this the most remark* able medicine I ever heard of.” We sell Mr. Cooper’s medicines, I and find them to be all he claims. 1 —Gaffney Drug UO. 1 Buy • *} i With Rent■flomk'! -= Wl i You will find our stock phvays fresh anu in size pack ages to fuit. \\i iNi You can do ruis 1 .lyMt|king stock in the Cherokee Building aa« \oan Associa tion.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. Wffth this issue The Ledger begins Its fifteenth year. We realize that we have made many mistakes in the' conduct of the paper since It was established in 1894. We acknowledge that In many instances we have erred; that we have said things which we should not have said, and left unsaid many things we should have said; bu J when we found that we had erred, and when we discovered 1 that we had done an Injustice, we at once set about rectifying the wrong, j and to do all in our power to make amends for the wrong done. In en tering upon a new year we shall do our best to avoid doing anyone an in justice. and it will be our constant aim to do unto other as we ourseives would wish others to do unto us. We hope to make the Gaffney Ledger better this year than ever before, and in this effort we ask the aid of our very* efficient corps of correspondents and subscribers as well. —Just received, a eftf of genuine Oklahoma red rust proof oats.
