GAFFNEY, S. FRIDAY, MARCH 13. 1908. i < YfiLL WHISKEY AGAIN BE SOLD IN CHEROKEE? ONE MAN SAYS HE THINGS IT WILL. The Fifty-third Anniversary of 4he “Windy Friday”—Pertinent para graphs by J* L. S- I Wilhinsville, March 10.—Some peo ple think that if The Ledger corres pondents, especially the ladies, don’t quit throwing bouquets at this corres pondent he will find himself a “grass widower” some of these times. Not a bit of it, friends, Mrs. J. L. S. is too sensible a lady, and thinks too much of herself to'live with a man whom nobody else could admire. If these compliments don’t produce a chronic case of “big head” or aggravate the one now on hand, there is nothing else to fear. “Ben Hope,” we are sorry we have no tangible souvenir to present to you on your birthday. However, we do the best we can and all we can, by extending to you our best wishes for the happy return of many of them. Our next lecture will be to the young married people, and especially to the girls who are about to enter the arena of married life. It’s going to “raise Cain.” But the man who doesn’t make somebody mad at some time doesn't accomplish much no matter how long he lives and how hard he tries. Of course there are only two things to be discussed and, “Sis,” you and not we are to elect the one you choose. The one represents those who marry with a view of making life successful and happy; the other those who are indifferent and are willing to make it a mere game of chance. This will be our text. Pon der over it and by the time we eome round with “our say” you will be surprised that we could tell so little about It Messrs. Gaffney and Holt launched the new flat at Howell’s ferry last Saturday and returned home. We haven’t seen it but it Is considered by those who have seen It to be a good piece of workmanship. Mr. Har rison hag christened it the battleship Cherokee. Since March came in farmers have done a good deal of plowing. Mrs. J. L. R. has been troubled with a cough lately that has been giving her a good deal of uneasiness. Rev. T. F. Boozer will preach* at Salem next Sabbath—15th inst at 11 o’clock a. m. In referring to the Coming King in last Friday’s paper the type make us say page 1301 instead of 130. You’ll get a truthful answer if you ask a woman her age and she tells you its none of your business. The smarter she Is the longer she can keep her mouth shut, and we don’t mean those who are dumb, either. Did that bottle of medicine do your wife any good? asbed the doctor,,of a husband. No. as soon as she read the wrap per on it she got tnree new diseases. It’s said the Eve is probably the only woman who never turned round to see what the other woman had on. We don’t suppose women had “dell- tSum trim mins” in Eve’s day like they have now. It’g generally admitted that the only secret a woman can keep is her age. ' Mr. Sam J. Strain was sick last week. Mr. J. L. Walker, our worthy school commissioner, has a fine field of oats. He planted them with a drill last fall and in the last few warm days they hare grown considerably. He Is a good farmer, anyway. A friend of ours who likes “the critter” says that the selling of liquor will be re-established in Cherokee county before long. We hardly think It will under legal sanction. We don’t know a greater Inisfortune to come upon our county than that. Two days of criminal court beats a whole week, or maybe longer. Mr. J. G. Kendrick is still buying cotton for the Lockhart mill. He wag paying 11.65 laat Saturday. We are glad to note the many good things said of the sermons of Rev. Frank Talmage, D. D. We don’t know a man who is doing a greater work than he is doing and has done. Though there are some reasonably intelligent and well mean ing people who claim they see no merit or anything extra-ordinary in these sermons. It’s the way they read them perhaps. The debate we spoke of in last Fri day’s paper was at the Wilklnsville school house, and not at Wilklnsville, •s Vie types made us say. No arrangements have as yet been made for regular preaching at Salem. Rev. T. F. Boozer has kindly consent ed to preach once a month until per manent arrangements can be made. Since Messrs. Gaffney and Holt have finished the new flat at Howell’s ferry there are quite a number of workmen in this community who think they could build one just like It, if not a better one. We hate to think that when th* 1 roll of countlefi Is call ai the fourth- coming Interdenominational 8. 8. As sociation at Union Cherokeo county will hfve no delegation.

Greer, March 10.—There was quite an excitement at Appalache Mill two miles north of here Sunday after noon. There were eleven people in a boat in the pond at the mill and about 2 p. m. ‘the boat dapsized and two young men and a lady lost their lives. We tried to learn the names o fthe dead but as the air is full of wild rumors, only a faint account can be learned. J. I.

TO REST. The Funeral $ervlcea Over Remains of Mrs. Darwin. The funeral services of Mrs. J. T. Darwin were held at Buford Street Methodist chunch Tuesday morning at 11:30, Rev. S. B. Harper officiat ing, assisted by Rev. C. C. Derrick, of Blacksburg, Mrs. Darwin’s former pastor. Rev. C- C- Derrick first read in a very impressive manner the 90th Psalm, after which Rev. S. B. Harper delivered a most touching discourse on the life and character of this moat excellent lady. He spoke of her devotion to church work, of her many acts of charity and of the unobtrusive manner in which she performed her gracious acts. He also spoke of her resignation, her willingness to go whenever God called, and that al though she wished to live because of her loved ones, yet she was ready to say “Thy will be done.” ! The funeral was largely attended, | and the number of those present showed the very high esteem in which Mrs. Darwin was held. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Dr. Darwin and his little children have the sympathy of a very large circle of friends. , .The pallbearers were: Dr. S. H. Griffith, Dr. J. N. Nesbitt, Dr. W. F. Brown, Messrs. L. G. Potter, E. L.

' The Chinese Rice Bowl Trick- Several years ago a famous Chi nese magician named Ching Ling Foo came . to this country, and mystified even the professional magicians by his performance of the “Rice Bowl Trick..” His trick consisted of the performer showing two empey bowls, one of which he filled half full of rice. The other bowl Is then inverted and placed over the one containing the rice. When the upper bowl is re moved. the rice has more *h*n doubl ed in quantity, there being enough to fill both bowls to overflowing. Th^ rice is emptied out and the bowls again placed together. This time, re moving the upper bowl, the rice has vanished and the lower bowl is full to the brim of water. This trick will be shown at the entertainment to be given by the Dramatic Club at^ Lime stone College on next Y/edhesday night, and will be peformed exactly as done by Ching Ling Foo. “The piper’s Pay.’» “The Piper’s Pay’’ is the name of an exceedingly clever little play {a he given by the Dramatic Club flr Limestone College pext Monday. night.
