We desire to again urge upon the people of the town to clean up their premises. The season is now at hand when disease? of the character which thrive on filth become epidemic and the importance of getting rid of every thing which is calculated to breed these germs which are such a menace . i The new’ town council at its first ,r>! | > t<. $1 ii> j meeting threatened to do some work »K» i t: V' on the city park. We hope the coun- * 1 -"" cil was not “bluffing,’’ but it is be ginning to look that way. • * • The Dorchester Eagle has discard ed the patent outside and has joined the all home print bridage. Editor Felder exhibits common sense. We never could understand why some publishers will permit some one else to select their mrtter and rob them of the income from advertising that is justly their’s. It’s only reasonable to the health of the community is ap parent. Decayed matter of all kinds to suppose that if the other fellow is liable to create these dreaded germs, i can make money printing one side An innocent looking dustheap may be the home of thousands and even mil lions of these deadly microbes, and a little precaution and a little labor might bo the means of preventing a dread ful epidemic which would bring death and suffering to numbers of our peo ple. It would be the biggest adver tisement which Gaffney could get, If she had the reputation of being the cleanest town in the State, and if every householder in the city would resolve to keep his premises absolute ly clean, it would not be long before we would enjoy that reputation, and that would bring more people to Gaff ney to live than anything else which w r e could do by way of advertising our resources. Our town enjoys a great blessing now in the shape of the purest water in the world and let us not negative the advantages which we enjoy by reason of having pure drinking water, by permitting disease breeding filth to accumulate on our premises. So let us all resolve now to clean up our premises and to keep them clean, and if disease breaks out the responsibility will not rest upon those who have clean premises. THE COUNTY FAIR. What has become of the county fair proposition? Some time ago a committee was appointed by the Board of Trade to make a canvass for subscriptions to tliis enterprise. Has this committee made any effort to secure subscriptions? And if so, did it succeed? If it did not succeed what were the reasons for its failure? If we expect to Inaugurate the enter prise for this fall we will have to get busy and very busy at that. It will take no little time to secure grounds and necessary buildings, even arter the money has all been subscribed Several of our influential farmers have expressed a desire to see the enterprise installed. It is true they did not say how many dollars they desire to see it installed, but we think working themselves to the front about as fast as any lot of boys ever worked to the front. Everybody in Cherokee likes them and their ascen dency in the scale of life is noted with pleasure. * * * We are not going to advise .Mr. Farmer to hold his cotton any longer. We confess we don’t know anytning about the matter. The indications were that if he would hold the price would go up. Some held and some caught h—1. Here after they must use their own judgement so far as we are concerned, as we are not go ing to advise him how to run his bus iness. W want to see the farmer gei a good price for his cotton and farm products, but we are going to keep our mouth shut about holding or selling. We cannot refrain from admonishing him to raise his own supplies at home in order that he may be independent of the rise or fall of cotton. • • • In a conversation with an intelli gent citizen of Maine, whom we met on the train recently, he asked us how many lynchings had occurred in our county? It was with the greatest degree of satisfaction that we were able to inform him that we had never had a lynching in Cherokee and that we most devoutly hoped that our county would never be subjected to the disgraceful spectacle of a lynch ing within her borders. Is a lynch ing ever justifiable? We answer em phatically no. The laws of this State are ample for the protection of its inhabitants and the fact that guilty people sometimes escape where the law r is invoked but not properly ad ministered, is no excuse for the citi zenship to tajee the law into its own bands and enforce its execution. J There are numbers of crimes that' deserve death, but this punishment! is provided for in the statute books. | If some slimy brute should outrage Local and Personal |ttma Qatherad From Our Exchangaa.

Star Theatre of the paper that the publisher could do the same thing, provided he adapt ed business methods. • • • The ruling of the postoffice depart ment requiring publishers to put a one cent stamp on all papers sent to subscribers in arrears a certain length of time, gives the publisher who has heretofore not had the backbone to conduct his business in a business like manner an excellent excuse to reform, but it remains to be seen whether they will continue to display a cotton string instead of backbone As for The Ledger, none of our sub scribers will be inconvenienced. They all think enough of the paper to pay for it in advance. • • • Almost every day some fellow says: “You must be getting rich publishing The Ledger,” and when we tell him we have a hard time keeping the sheriff from putting a red padlock on the front door, he replies: “Well, you ought to be making money, if you haint.” Anybody who imagines there is a gold mine in a newspaper can buy one if they will apply at this; sorile ^ wh: > is n ‘ ia ” dear to you, and you.

The Interest created in leading cities during the past year by young Mr. Cooper with his new preparation, is largely accounted for by a peculiar quality possessed by this medicine, which he calls bis New Discovery. Mr. Cooper believes that internal parasites, or tapeworms, are respon sible for much ill health, and it is an undoubted fact that his medicine has expelled immense numbers of these creatures in various cities visited by him. The young man also believes ihat stomach trouble is the main cause of all ill health. He claims that few can have poor health, with a good di gestion. He further claims that his New Discovery medicine does nothing but tone up the stomach, yet it not only expels the parasites, but relieves many other ailments not as a rule as sociated with stomach trouble. Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2133 Car- roll Avenue, Chicago, Is among many relieved of a large parasite by Mr. Cooper’s preparation during his stay in that city. In speaking of the mat ter to Mr. Cooper, the mother said: ‘My child Jessie, who is fourteen years oid, has been suffering with this trouble for over seven years. Until this morning wo did aot know the trouble was. She was extremely nervous; the least little thing would upset her; her tongue was coated, and at times she would have a good ap petite, then again could not bear the sight of food; she was restless at night, had a bad breath, especially when she got up of mornings. We tried everything to relieve her, but met with no success. We were just on the point of giving up trying any thing else, when we began to read of Cooper’s New Discovery. Several days ago wo purchased this medicine. Jes sie has been using it regularly, and this morning this parasite left her system. I don’t wonder that she has always felt bad, and nothing wa would give her seemed to relieve her. Now that she is relieved of this tapeworm I feel sure that she will grow better each day, and enjoy perfect health. Mr. Cooper, your medicine is worth a thousand times more than you charge for it. I know of a number of people troubled the same way as Jessie nas been, and I certainly expect to tell them personally to try your medicine.’* We would advise anyone who has been troubled for some time with gen eral poor health to try this great med icine. We are agent for it in this city. Drug Co. Vfhat —Gaffney ■mmmm-mmmmmmmiSii Haberdashery Some Reasons Why You Should Visit.
