y % t he Gaffney A NEWSPAPER IN ALL THAT THE WORD IMPLISS, AND DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE OF CHEROKEE COUNTY. ESTABLISHED FEB- 16, 18S4. GAFFNEY, S.

Wilkinsville, AP>'1 17.—We were if glad to read Unit fine letter from our young friend, Mr. Davis McCulloch, F of Bonham, Texas. Write again, Da- / vis. We had a splendid rain last Tues day night and Wednesday. It came in the very niche of time to please and help the farmers. The ground was getting dry and hard and oats (and gardens were beginning to suf fer. Jim Smith, colored, got his house [and its contents burned last Wednes- fday. He estimates his loss at $100. Mr. Joe Lh Estes had about 1,200 feet of plank burned with it. From what we learn no one knows how it caught fire. The house belonged to Mr. V. C. Comer and was on the Carroll place. Mrs. Ethel Blackwell, who has been unwell for several days, spent Wed nesday and yesterday with us. She is much improved. Elder C. W. Wfhisonant is attending Enoree Presbytery at Greer this week. We were pleased to meet our young friend, Mr. Wfatson Bell, at Gaffney last Saturday. He is a son of Capt. J. B. Bell, of your city, and is a bright young man. He was at home visiting his parents. He gets the name “Watson” from his motherfs family and no doubt it Is from her ' he takes most of his good looks. Mrs. ( Bell is a member of one of the old est and most highly respected fami lies of York county. The Birmingham fAla.) News is making preparations to give a full and rxjmplete report of the proceed- ..ings of the United Confederate vet erans reunion which meets in that city June 9, 10 and 11. The paper will be artistically illustrated with the photographs of the officers and others in attendance. The paper will be sent from Monday, June 8 to Sat- , urd&y 13, for ten cents. Any one wishing a report of these proceed- irgs can have the paper mailed to / them by sending ten cents with thcfr address to the Birmingham News, I Birmingham, Ala., (circulation de- y i parment. Mr. and Mrs. J. Leslie Blackwell went to Hickory Grove yesterday While tue ground was too wet to plow. We hear some talk of the potato bugs attacking the Irish potatos. They have done no great damage yet. Housewives are using ashes, lime and other insecticides. Mr. T. Jeff Hughes went to Union yesterday to see his brother, Mr. Joe Hughes, who is lying very low and not expected to live long. He has been sick a long time. B;o. J. L. J., we will soon give the result of our calculation and try and point out where the “catch” in the hen and egg problem Jies. We had about forgotten our promise to do this, but will make that promise good, [ soon. Wylie Horton, colored, had a horse to die this week. It’s a great mis fortune for a poor man to lose a worb animal at this time of year when they are so high and scarce. Wlyle 1 Is a highly respected colored man and we feel sure his white and color ed friends will help him get another. They ought to. Mrs. Mattie Blackwell has a quilt ing today. It wyi be a good time for the women to get together and do a big day’s talking and some poor fel low (perhaps ourself) will get his pedigrees read out if he has no one present to take his part. That’s about the way many women do. A cyclone passed over the fork section last Wednesday, it struck the Pacolet river section of Mr. W. R. Walker’s Sunnyside .farm but did no special damage. Governor Ansel says “the State’s . greatest assets are its boys and girls.” That is true y There fcj noth- j ing that equals them when their minds, hearts and hands are trained tc perform the duties assigned them by the great Creator. In the proper development of these faculties and organs lies the true wealth of the na tion. With the average boy man hood is a delusion, and often his alms are oointed in the wrong direct ion by ftwse and improper teaching. His failure is not so much the cause of bhi own misconceived ideas as that of others whose duty it is to train him for usefulness. This duty be gins in the home with the parents who shape his life and conduct and ho are responsible for results. Misgoverned homes are the nur series of lawless communities and individuals. There is no disputing the fact that a petted child makes a ruined man or woman as the case may be. Evidences of this are seen every day. The teacher is powerless In correcting the evils connected with the home training. First impression on a young mind are the most lasting. ( The best way to correct “by gones” J is to forget them if their remetnber- i ence is unsavory. j Habit grows. The longer it is cul tivated the deeper it becomes rooted in the individual character and iti fruit-bearing capacity increases with the lapse of years. Tb*. too. cannot bo successfully denied. Whatever hts environments may be the best thing for a boy to do is to resolve to be a man, and stick to It. The habit will grow and strengthen with age. Choose higher Ideals and never forget that there is always room at the top of the ladder. It may cost many of the fascinating pleas ures of a giddy life but these you can well surrender for those that will open up for you a life of usefulness and respectability. Your vicious companions will be among the first to honor you for your course and “take knowledge of your ways." Most of them (if not all) will seek your companionship and move with you to a higher and better life. “Wtell,’’ you say “it’s easy to talk, but how about the doing?” This we will tell you in a few words. First. Look back on your past life and ask yourself this Question: Whose heart first felt the pangs of my waywardness? and more than ninety-nine out of every hundred will say “mother’s.” There, you are right. Her whole life has been wrapped up in you ever since (and even before) you had an existence, in the material world. Then go to your mother and ask her forgiveness and tell her you want to make amends for the way you have treated her and the sorrow you have given her. (and be sure to mean it) if you want to see the re sult. Do the same to your father (and | mean it, too) , you will then get his i confidence and help if you show your-! self worthy of it. This is the first i and fiercest battle you will have to ' fight. Your father may not be the j hind of a fathr some other boy would like to have, but he is ycur father and it’s your duty to res-! pect, love and honor him. Next make yourself useful to your ! parents and take every burden you possibly can off their shoulders. Re member they cared for you when you couldn’t care for yourself. Never al low anybody to say ought against either of them in your presence with out resisting it. This is the best evi dence the world will have that there is a man in you. And you will lie res pected for it too. Commit to memory the 1st, loth. 23rd, and 119th Psalms. And at all times and under all cir cumstances make the Book of Books the man of your counsel. 'Your next duty that we will notice is what you owe to your teacher and rulers. This is a somewhat compli cated matter as we Americans look at things. But there is a divine au thority belonging to each in Its sphere we can’t ignore, and still maintain our position. Whenever the home, the school and the government are not moving in the same direction and with the same object in view then discord sets in for which the hoy is not responsible until he at tains the lawful age,to help correct existing evils. If, however, his first steps are rightly taken there will he hut little In his way and he will be abundantly able to take care of himself and all his interests. This can be accomn- lished only by making the school and the government creatures of the home. The home is the citadel from which the child is to fight, and does fight the battle of life. Choose the right and maintain it. Be sober, he honest, be truthful, ^nd you will always he brave. These vir tues make the man. Without them (or either of them) he is a failure. Then, there is another virtue to cul tivate and it grows only by culture. Politeness costs nothing and is worth much. Good manners and good conduct are the passport that takes a boy or man through the world, and its current in any kind of society. These force the recognition and res pect of all classes of people. Lend a helping hand to your needy brother. Respect the old for their age, if for nothing else. Scatter sunshine wherever you go and never help your Mlow man to despond. Cheer him up with a good word or a kind act. In speaking of a good man who was rather a poor preacher, another man said: “His actions speak so loud I can’t hear what he says.” What we say to the boys is equally i applicable to the girls in their sphere. We have tried to give a brief outline : of the characteristics that make a manly man. This is the positive side of the hoys life. We will next take I up the negotive side and then the leader can draw his own deductions. J. L. S.- MT. PARAN MATTERS- The Acreage |n cotton will Be Re duced. ML Paran, April 15.—Not having seen any items from this part or old Cherok^j?, thought it should be repre sented,‘as there are so many indus trious and substantial families resid ing here. The farmers in this section have taken advantage of the fine weather of the past few weeks. Some have planted corn and have their ground ready for planting cotton. Fortunate ly the acreage in cotton will be con siderably decreased from that of last year. We are glad to learn that the people are raising more home sup plies, which we think is very wise. When farmers get to (raising their own “hog and hominy” then they will “live at home and board at the same place.” Some of our youngsters were invit ed to attend a party in the Antioch section last Saturday night. This com munity has been exceedingly quiet all this winter. There has not been a half dozen sociables I don’t think. One of Mt. Paran’s most charming and accomplished young ladies, Miss Georgia Sapoch, and her brother, Ful ton, attended the closing exercises of the Antioch school. Miss Molly Moore has been visiting her sister, Mrs. A. F. Neal at Hen rietta. Miss Mattie Rippy, after spending several days at the hospitable home of Mr. Farmer Moore, has returned to her home at Earle, N. C. Misses Sue Parker and Molly Moore spent Saturday and until Monday morning, with Miss Daisy Blanton at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. William Gettys, at Lattimore, N. C. The young ladies reported a grand time. They stopped over in Shelby Monday, shopping. There is quite a great deal of sick ness in this community at this writ ing. There are a number of children who have the whooping cough. Mr. George Martin has been very sick but we are glad to know he is improving. Mrs.' Pagenstecher (better known as Grandma Pagenstecher) has been suffering with an attack of la grippe, but is much improved. Mr. Farmer Moore has been under the weather for several days. We are glad to see Mrs. Parker out again after being shut In doors for several .lays with la grippe. Little Dewey, the son of Mr. Price Martin, has been critically ill. He was better when last heard from. Miss Georgia Sajicch and brother, Mr. Fulton, were the guests of Miss Lula Borders, of Kings Creek, Sat urday night and Sunday. For fear of the gaping mouth of the waste basket, I will cease my re marks by wishing all The Ledger’s readers and its editor, a joyful Easter. “Sunshine.” SOME FARMERS BE COMING DISGUSTED THE FIFTEEN CENT EUTOPEAN DREAM. Popular Prices all this Week. Tliis week popular prices will reign at the Star Theatre and for all the week. The offering will be the Marie LaTour Stock Company, one of the best known and largest repertoire organizations on thrt road and, no doubt, each performance will be wit nessed by a large audience. The opening last night was that popular success, “Whirlpool of Sin,” and the production was made with special scenery and effects and a strong cast wag in the play. Between acts was presented an abundance of specialties and all of an up-to-date, clever char acter. The company i s especially strong with its vaudeville and, in fact, carries a comlplete vaudeville organization aside from its large corps of dramatic artists. The vaude ville is equal of any offering ever made in Gaffney and includes not alone single acts, but doubles. Also the noted Desmond Trio, and at each performance there will he plenty of specialties. The repertoire of the company is entirely new to this city and consists of only the very latest successes, and each production will be made with special care as to detail and fine stage settings. Tonight the hill will he “For Home and Honor.” a stiring melodrama. Tomorrow night “The Fatal Scar” V.ill be presented, and Thursday night the “The Hand of Man.” A live white baby will be given away* Saturday night. It is a very good sign when you raise the cover from the body to see the bees clustered a little way down from the top of the combs. We will try and say something about the food question later. We will give the girls and all that are interested in flowers, a little In formation about flowers, as it may piove helpful to them.

George Ratchford preached an impressive sermon at the Presby terian church Sunday morning, taking his text from the twelfth verse of the fifteenth chapter of 1st Corinthians. He said in part, that the Jewish Sabbath was set apart as a memorial of God’s rest after* the creation. That the Christian Sabbath which is the first day of the w*eek, is kept as a memorial of the resurection of Christ. That manifold blessings are promised to those who rememDer the Sabbath day and keep it holy. That the re sin rection is the fundamental doctrine of our church, because it is the proof of Christ’s mission on earth. That th© miracles which He wrought were for the purpose of showing to the people that he came from God the Father. That Jesus announced when he raised Lazarus from the dead, that He per formed the miracle to prove that He was sent by God. The resurection, in addition to being a proof that He was sent by God, was also a proof that His work on earth had been accomplish ed The resurrection of Jesus Christ was by his own power, which was an evidence of the fact that He was equal with God the Father, in power and glory. The resurrection of Christ ; was prophesied centuries before the event took place. The holy spirt cc:uld not come until Jesus had been glorified, and if Christ be not risen from the dead, there is no salvation lor sinful man; the doctrine of the immortality of the soul is a myth and annihilation will be the result.

State Line Statements. ✓State Line, April 18.—The rainy weather has put a check on the farm work for a few days. We were glad to -see it for the ground was getting hard where it hadn’t been broken. We agree with Mr. J. L. S. in what he said about the people of Union. They deserve praise for the way they entertained the delegates. They had everything as nice as any one could expect.
