QAFPNEY, B. C* FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1908. SHOUT NEWS ITEMS OF lOUL INTEREST. EVENTS IN QAFPNEY AND CHER OKEE- Recent Happenings in and Around j the City, and Other Events Gath* ered by the Local News Editor. We regret to note that our friend Perry Hill, while driving a nail a few days ago, was struck in the left eye by the nail, making a very painful wound. The Irene Mills has purchased a, Logan auto-truck of two and a half tons capacity which is being used for hauling freight to and from the| mills. Rev. J. R. Geiger, of Greenville, ■will preach at Limestone Baptist church Sunday morning at 11 o’clock. A cordial invitation is extended to all to attend. Prof. Harold A. Loring has accept-' ed the position of musical director at ; Knox College, Galesburg, 111., instead; of Galesburg, Ind., as was stated in our last issue. Mrs. Morgan, who lived at the Merriraac Mills, died last Monday and was laid to rest in Oakland cemetery Tuesday. She leaves • husband and several children to mourn their loss. The Hon. T. B. Butler, of Gaffney, I who will contest with Congressman Finley for the latter’s seat in the house, made many friends and ac quaintances during his visit to Lan caster this week.—Lancaster News. We are sorry to learn that Frank McCluney was thrown from his bug gy last Tuesday while he was on his way to Gaffney and painfully injured. His face was badly lacerated but he Is rapidly recovering from the injury. Quite a party of local Knights of Pythias went to Cow pens last Mon day night to attend a meeting of the lodge at that place. Refreshments were served after the meeting and the boys who went from here report a splendid time. It developed that young Claud Pritchard, whose injuries were being examined* })y Dr. W. K. Gunter, qs we went to press for Tuesday’s issue, had his lower law bone .broken. We ‘understand that the young man is getting on nicely Dr. Robert Adams, president of the Presbyterian College at Clinton, will fill the pulpit at Limestone Presby terian church on the fifth Sunday of this month. Dr. Adams Is n, eloquent preacher and it is to be hoped that he will be greeted by a large congregation. Mr. John Scbwenker, who has been on a six weeks trp to Florida, return ed to Gaffney Wednesday. Mr. Schwenker visited Tampa, Sandford, Jacksonville and St. Petersburg in Florida, and Savannah, Augusta and Atlanta, in Georgia, and Hiarleston and Columbia, in South Carolina, while on his trip. Mr. G. C. Burns, of McGubbin coun ty, 111., is in Gaffney, the guest of “Uncle Sam” Hopper. This is Mr. Burnes’ second visit to Galjney, he having drank some .of our deep well water when here before, of course had to return. Mr. Burns will return to Spartanburg today, provided “Un cle Sam” is able to tell him what time the train leaves. Hon. John Gary Evans was here Tuesday on professional business, and while here took occasion to shake hands Vith his many friends and to announce his candidacy for United State senator. Governor Evans is very popular in Gaffney and Chero kee county, and will doubtless poll a large vote at the primary election this summer. The dummy will run to the college tonight to give the people an oppor tunity of attending the graduating recital of Miss Angelle Andrews. We hope a large crowd from the city will attend and thus show their interest in the Limestone school of music. The people of Gaffney are proud of the institution and its achievements, but they do not show the proper ap preciation of same. J. Going Hays has opened a shoe •hop in the Parrish Hotel building and is meeting with encouragement. Everybody in Gaffney knows Going. He is the crippled boy who rides around in a goat cart and this desire on his part to earn a livelihood is most commendable. The entrance to his shop is between the Western Union Telegraph Company’s offlee •nd Crawley & Company’s drug store. '■% ‘if F. Carson & Company have had the store room between the express office and the Isaac Turner Furniture Company put in first class order and are putting in a complete line of gents furnishings. It will be, when finished, one of the prettiest store rooms in the city, and the firm will doubtless get a full share of pat ronage, as Mr. Carson, by reason of having been so long connected with the Company store, is well acquaint ed with the trade. John Snead, Dr. M. J. Goudelock,; Dr. W. K. Gunter, Geo. D. Jefferies and Dr. Wells, members of local lodge of Knights of Pythias, went to Cowpens Tuesday night, and after at tending a meeting of the lodge at that place, enjoyed a splendid spread pro-! vided by the Cowpeng lodge. Two of the young gentlemen, Messrs. Jef feries and Gunter, spent the night in the hospitable home of Mr. Jno. M. Smith. All of the young gentlemen expressed themselves as being de lighted with their trip. Mr. Henry Drummond, of Clifton, arrived in the city Monday to tabe charge of the Company store. Mr. Drummond has had quite a good deal of experience in his line and will makea valuable acquisition to the business Interests of Gaffney. J. N. Swafford has charge of the clothing and gents furnishing department. He is well and favorably known in Gaff-! ney and throughout the county and this team should prove a winner. “An Evening With Mother Goose i and her Children,’’ given under the auspices of the Griffith Literary So ciety in Limestone auditorium on | March 24th, is one of lively comedy, i In it are portrayed the quaint char acter of the nursery rhymes so fa-' miliar to all, and the little comedies, and the dear old friend of our chib'-! hood "Mother Goose,’’ so philosophi- 1 cal in their nature, yet so appealing in their simplicity, are enacted in all their charming native grace. Tickets 25 cents for grown people and 10 cents for children. Front seats re served for children. f I Mr. J. H. Bridges, who lives near the city, informed us yesterday that he has a chicken which was hatched j about the middle of last November. ; The fowl as it grew became very tame, coming into the house and eating from the hands of the children.; Mr. Bridges thought for a long time that it was a rooster, but on the 14th > Inst., to the astonishment of the whole family, the fowl commenced to lay, ! and has laid an egg every day since.; The remarkable feature is that the chicken is only four months old. Wei would suggest that Mr. ^Bridges call this new breed, the Jersey. J. C. Otts, Esq., as special rereree,: was engaged Tuesday in taking tes timony in the case of L. B. Bright, et al vs. Terlssa Bright. The action was brought by the plaintiffs as heirs at law of Chesterfield Bright, deceased, to recover possesion of a certain tract of land ffrom the defend ant which the said Chesterfield Bright conveyed to her prior to his death on the condition that she should care for him until his death. The plaintiffs are seeking the re covery on the grounds, first, that Chesterfield Bright, at the time of making the deed wag non compos mentis, and second, that she did not give him proper care while he lived The taking of the testimony was not concluded but will be resumed on the 25th. Mr. L. J. C. Campbell and Miss Ida Hopper were married Wednesday af- UTnoon at 3:30 o’clock by Rev. E. G. Ross, at the home of the bride’s parents on R. F. D No. 8. Mr. Camp bell ig bookkeeper for the Piedmont Telephone Company at Gastonia, 'N. C. Those in attendance from Gas tonia were Mr. R. A. Fronburger and Miss Martha McCloud, Mrs. B. J. Caldwell, Mr. John Green and wife, From Gaffney, Mr. Lem Ross and wife and daughter, Miss Sallle, Misses Maud ahfi Lora ijttlejohn, Mr. John Hopper and mother, Mr. Lee Cline, Mr. Clyde Randolph and Mr. Will Self and wife. Refreshments were served and quite an enjoyable afternoon was spent. The bride and groom left yes terday for Greenville, the home of the groom, where they go to visit his people. They return to Gastonia Monday where Mr. Campbell win re sume work. DRAYTONVILLE DOTS- Interesting Paragraphs Penned by! School Boy.” Draytonville, March 18.—Rev. E. G.. Ross, of Gaffney, filled his usual ap-' pointment here last Saturday and Sunday. He preached two excellent sermons and they were both largely attended. Mr. Ross expects to move to Greer in a few days where he will preach two Sundays in each month.! He will preach here every third Sun day of each month. We regret to have him leave us but hope he will like his new home all right. Messrs. Lee Little and “Dock’’! Ross, of Gaffney, were visitors in this section Monday. Draytonville Sunday school will elect its delegates next Sunday to rep resent it In the Sunday School Con vention which meets with Abingdon Creek church on the fifth Sunday o! this month. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Parris, of Gaff ney, attended religious services here last Sunday. Misses Ethel and Eva Elmore visit ed their friend. Miss Nettie Marsh, last Sunday, They enjoyed their visit very much. « The farmers resumed their plow ing Monday after a few days of rest, caused by the rain that fell last Wed nesday. We would like to say a few words to the boys as to respecting young ladies; We think every boy should show respect to the girls in every way they can. Wte do not want to fall out with the boys, but we hope they will .agree with us. Some boys (ig our section and others) act so rudely In the presence of young girls that it is a shame. Boys, of some nice and res pectable families are just as bad as those who have not been raised as they should have been. There are some boys who think when they get a cigar or cigarette stuck in their mouth that they are as big as any millionaire, but they are about as low as they can get. Boys, those of you who live such lives, let us induce you to turn from the road that leads to destruction of a happy and peaceful ■life. Mrs. Thomas Benton and children, of Limestone Mills, spent Saturday night with Mr. and Mrs- G- A. McCraw and attended services here Saturday night and Sunday. There was a good many visitors to Gaffney last Saturday from this section. In our last letter we stated that the session of congress had adjourned when It should have been that of the legislature. Errors are like pesby fleas, they will creep in when they get a change—yes, a half chance. The many friends of Miss Reath; Wilson are glad to learn that she is recovering from a spell of grippe, i There are not many cases of grippe ( in this section at this writing. Mr. Henry Sellers and sister, Miss Pearl, of Wilkinsville, attended ser vices here Sunday. The old saying of March seems as if it is going to be true this year, as it came In very pleasant and is very rough at present. Some say that the rest of the month will be as rough if not rougher, but we hope not. Mr. Steady Painter and sister, Miss Maude, of Midway, attended religious services here Sunday. Rev. George Randolph will preach at Ross Grove next Sunday at 11 o’clock a. m. Mr. Charley Elmore, who has been visiting his parents at this place, re turned to his home at Sunnyside Sun day. We regret to say that he is suf fering with an injured eye caused by the explosion of a dynamite. We hope his eye will get all right In a few days. The low price of cotton seems to be stirring the people who held for a better price. We are not going to kick against the Farmers’ Union, but we thought from the way the union men talked a few months ago, that the union was going to do great work. It may do it yet, hut from the present prospects of the union, it seems that it has stepped its last step. The poor farmers may try to fight the rich peo ple hut they will find out very soon that they will be repulsed and will get the v^rst stand after all. Mr. Z. A. Robertson, of Gaffney, was down in this section yesterday. We are always glad to see “Zeb.” , The subject of good roads is al ways being discussed, but Is nevel acted upon. We believe in having good roads in Cherokee county and we hope the step to bare them w* ! l! scon be taken into consideration. We admit that we have some very good roads but there are more bad ones than good ones. A young man was going to preaching one Sunday re cently and was riding a mule. While going over a rough road the mule stumbled and almost ruined one of its hoofs and bruised its knees, but the young man escaped uninjured. May Cherokee county have its good roads ( as well as the other counties. We will stop on this subject and take up another one which would be a great help to the people of this section and others; We think that if there was an iron bridge built ocross Broad river near Cherokee Falls it would improve the neighborhood in a good many respects. The river is so low at that place that the people in ve hicles have to go away up to the Iron bridge, a distance of some four miles to cross the river. We hope to see the time when it will be con structed across the stream. Some white man of mean character attempted to force his way into one of our neighbors house a few nights ago. He went up to the door and said “Open the door,” and he was nskefi who he was. He said "Open the floor and see.” but the lady would not open the door and he attempted to break it down, but ran away when the lady began calling for help. We think when a man can find nothing else to do but go around and disturb people at night, or any other time, he should be dealtb with the fullest extent of the law. Miss Ha Whelchel and brother, Mr.! Wesley, of Providence, spent Satur day night with the family of Mr. and Mrs. O. V. Patrick and attended re ligious services here Saturday night and Sunday. The peach trees are getting into full bloom. The farmers are beginning to haul their gufcpo and we hope they will use enougl} under their cotton and plant a smaller crop this year in or der to get something like fifteen cents for it. There was a good attendance at prayer-meeting here Saturday night and we had a good meeting. Our pastor was present and read the Scripture lesson. The subject was spoken on by the pastor and Mr. Hus key. Mr. James Drlskoll also made a good talk. The hour of meeting has been changed to 7:30 o’clock. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Parris, of Ar arat, attended services here Sunday and were the guests Af Mr. /nd Mrs. C. M- Parker in the afternoon. School Boy. AN INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE TO GIRLS SMALL BEGINNINGS OFTEN HAVE GREAT ENDINGS- \ ed up” last week *y a mule, is able to get about on his crutches. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Blackwell spent Saturday night with us. /The farmers are now getting busy with their work. The last few days have been well spent by the plow hands. We will have two new moons next month—April—and two full moons In November, this year. Little Frank, the adopted child of Mr. and Mrs. Dagnall, of Hickory i good fish in iL Is the gentleman h# ought to be, his reformation will date from that very moment. Take no promise for tbs future reformation of the man. Lit it be now or never so far as yon are concerned. If during the probation ary period agreed upon in which his case is held, he proves the sincerity of his vow, then you will be better prepared to give him the welcome answer “Yes.” Never be In a hurry— the sea will always have plenty of No Use To Die. *T have found out that there is no use to die of lung trouble as long as you can get Dr. King’s New Discov ery,” says Mrs. J. P. White, of Rush- boro, Pa. "I would not be alive to day only for that wonderful medi cine. It loosens up a cough quicker than anything else, and cures lung diseases even after the case Is pro nounced hopeless.” This most reli able remedy for coughs and colds, la grippe, asthma, bronchitis and hoarse ness, is sold under guarantee at Gaffney Drug Co. Beware the geese when preaches. the fox The Lucky Quarter Is the one you pay out for a box of Dr. King’s New Life Pills. They bring you the health that’s more precious than Jewels. Try them for headache, biliousness, constipation and malaria. If they disappoint you the price will be cheerfully refunded by Gaffney Drug Co. Nrver Be in a Hurry to Marry—The Sea Always Has Plenty of Good Fish In |t. Wilkinsville, March 18.—Rev. T. F. Boozer preached a very pointed and impressive sermon at Salem last Sab bath from the text: 1st Timothy 1:8, "But we know that the law' is good, if a man use it lawfully.” At a meet ing of the church session Elder C. W. Whisonant was elected to represent Salem church at the meeting of Enoree Presbytery to be held at Greers April 14th. Elder T. J. Fstes was elected his alternate. Mr. and Mrs. Whit Mitchell’s child ren, reported sick in our last letter, are improving some, we are glad to learn. Mrs. Mitchell herself is suffer ing from on attack of grippe. Dr. Hood, of Hickory Grove, is their phy sician. Prof. Sarratt, who is teaching the Wilkerson school, was at Salem last Sabbath. It seems as if The Ledger's type don’t intend for us to tell about the debate at the "Wilkerson school.” They make us say Wilkinsville every time. That’s some of Will Darby’s werk, aided and abetted by the proof reader. It’s a fortunate thing for them that our fighting lieutenant has resigned and moved off to Grindall Shoals, or we would bring the matter to his attention. He may find it out anyway frontf’The Ledger. It will soon be time, for spring poetry to bloom and we may nave a full crop of it nothwithstanding editors don’t fancy such flwers. Mr. Jack Smarr, of Hopewell, is re ported sick. He was not able to at tend preaching service at Salem last Sabbath. The new flat at Howell’s ferry is now running and giving satisfaction. A lot of crossing is done at that place. Mr. C. C. Roberts, of Shelby, N. C.. was down last week looking after his farming interest in Cherokee county. We are glad to note that his health is much improved. He has been suf fering a good deal within the last few years and not able to be out a great deal. We have known Mr.. Roberts for a long time. We were going to school together at the breaking out of the war between the States when we both volunteered. While it’s a mat ter of regret to see his once manly form (for he was "much of a man,” physically, in his younger days) suf fering from age and infirmity, it’s a source of great pleasure to know that he is trying to make "his calling and election sure.” Messrs. Harrison and J. F. Estes have planned a trip to take this week. Mr. Harrison is to look out for a job of painting while John chooses to talk to the girls. We may tell our readers about it later on, but had better not say too much Just now. We hope that the members of Camp Jefferies U. C. veterans will not fail to turn out at Wilkinsville on the 28th Inst, at 10 o’clock so that the re port to general and State division can be made out and forwarded that day to their respective destinations. Those who can’t possibly attend and wish to keep up their membership will please send their annual dues of 15 cents, as the same can’t be receiv ed after the 31st inst. The Farmers’ Union (Etta Jane lo cal) will have a celled meeting at the school house tomorrow night for the transaction of unfinished business. We are glad to say that Mrs. F. A. Goforth, who has been very sick from an attack of gallstone, is much better. She has been suffering greatly from it. Dr. Fiefleld has treated her case. Mr. Sam A. Lee and family attend ed preaching service at Salem last Sabbath. His little babe .is growing finely and enjoying most excellent health. Rev. T. F. Boozer went to his home in Gaffney last Friday evening and re turned to Salem on Sabbath morning before the preaching hour—11 o’clock a. m. Mr. Jim Morris’ boys had a most exciting and enjoyable dog fight last Friday at their home at the Sunny- side farm. The combatants were "Dan” and "Ceaze,” dogs of Messcg. W. R. and J. L. Wlalker, respectively. The boys said "Dan” whipped “Ceaze” but it was a hard fight. Dan is the champion canine of Cherokee county. Boys, prize fighting Is very poor busi ness when even dogs are the com batants and it’s still worse with men. Mr. Sam J. Strain has rented Mr. James G. Garner’s farm and Is pre paring to plant it in corn. Mr. Boyce Whisonant is now pre pared to make records for the gra- phophone. If you have anything to say, repeat it in the mouth of the re ceiver and the instrument will tell it over after you are dead. He has a fine lot of these Instruments on hand and also a large stock of records to suit them. Peach trees are now in bloom, and from present prospects there will be a good crop of fruit. The Abingdon Creek people are preparing to build a new church. Most of the lumber is on hand and the work will perhaps begin at an early day. Miss Bonnie McCluney went home last Saturday and returned to her school yesterday morning. Miss Mer- tice Fowler accompanied her to her home. Mr. Vaney Comer, who. got "mash Grove, we are glad to learUj is grow ing finely and enjoying good health.
