All that Is needed to save It, is for

further says that most men and wom

owing to degenerate stomachs. And
lastly, he claims that his New Dis

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

I got over eighty pounds from that
colony, which, at the market price,
was worth more than ten dollars.

people have flocked to his headquar

J’osslbly the most interesting fea*

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,

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.

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.
