7 The Gaffney ledger. A NEWSPAPER IN ALL THAT THE WORD IMPLIES. AND DEVOTED TO THE BEST INTEREST OP THE PEOPLE OF CHEROKEE COUNTY. ESTABLISHED FEB. IS, 1894. QAPPNEV, Ch FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1908. $1.80 A YEAR* K WIFE-BEATING SOME TIMES EXCUSABLE A HEN PECKED HUSBAND A PIT IABLE OBJECT. Farmers Getting Up With Their Work—Miss McCiuney Sick—Other Lowe r Cherokee Notes. WSlkinsville, May 5—Brother J. L. J., in regard to the "cat(ja" in the question wo have this to say: It's what we know in mathematics as a “surd”—the numbers are not rational—and hence do not come un der the general law of “cause and ef fect” as do those of simple or com pound proportion. If they did, the answer, six eggs would be correct, as you say, for if we multiply 1 1-2 hens by 11-2 days we either have 21-4 hens for one days work or 2 1-4 days for one hen’s work- which hears out your calculation. But this is not what we understand the question to mean. He has in view the manner in which hens generally do business—lay one egg a day—and that gives us our answer—nine eggs. To illustrate a similar point this question is asked: If a fat hog comes to $15, what will a poor one come to? An ear of eoyn is the answer, and a very reasonable one, too. If a hen and^ a half in a day and a half lay an egg and a half certainly in three days we have three hens and three eggs, or an average of one egg per day for each hen, and that proves the calculation that three hens In three days will lay nine eggs. This is a brain tester. If “J. L. J.” don’t see the point wo will try and “explain our explanation” when we see him. Mr. Phillip Robbins, of Cowpens, went over on the York side and bought a load o£ pigs last Thursday. By some means the announcement was made in The Ledger last Tues day that the ladies’ Memorial Asso ciation would meet at Salem last Sat urday—May 2nd—and as a result quite a number of the members came with their flowers. Ft was, we pre sume, confused witi$ the meeeting at Elbethel that day. The l^adies’ Memorial Association will meet at Salem next Saturday, May 9th, at 4 o’clock p. m. for the purpose of decorating the graves of the Confederate soldiers buried there. The committee will" thankfully receive flowers from friends who will be kind enough to bring or send them and all are invited to take part in the de corating exercises. The hour set for the decorating ex ercises will not conflict with the ex ercises at the school house. Bring your dinners, friends, and spend a day of real pleasure. Owing to the death of Rev. J. H. Thornwell, u. D., a vacancy occurs in the chaplaincy of the South Caro lina Division U. C. veterans which will be filled at the Greenville re union August 12 and 12. For this position we would nominate Rev. A. A. James, of Pacolet. Mr. James served throughout the war as chap lain of the 18th regiment and per haps he is the only officer in the Con federate service who has not sur rendered his commission. To elect him to the chaplaincy of the State Division 6f (J. C. veterans would be to confer an honor on a deserving man. We nominate him. Brother Ben Hope says, “J. L. S., I have heard from one of your near neighbors, who says you are a very nice old gentleman.” That’s all very- nice, Brother Ben, but we hate for him to say we are old. That’s what we never expect to be. Whether we live long or die soon we expect to al ways be young. The head may be come white, the limbs tottering and thd body stooped but we will always have a young heart. This is one or the gifts of our great Creator for which we can never be too thankful. We pity the man who feels oVierwise. It's very gratifying to read the many encouraging remarks our brother and sister correspondents make about their church or Sabbath school worb. In these institutions lie the future greatness of our country. Loyalty to them is the seed germs of good citi zenship, of happy homes, of good government and all that goes to make a nation happy, great and prosperous. But we haven't yet seen a line from one of them in regard to the organiza tion of a County Interdenominational Salihatfl School Convention this sum mer. The time is ripe for this move ment which will bring our forces to gether to work for the upbuilding of the waste places in Zion. Let’s hear from you. Unfurl your colors land let the crusade against vice and ignor ance begin. Its the elbow touch on both the right anfl left that inspires the brave soldiers to go forward in the discharge of his duty. If Its better to be doiofoug than dollarous most people ha^e a chance to see pleasure. * ^ Mrs. Amanda Lee and grand- ‘daughters, Vivian and Ruth Lee, visit ed relatives in this neighborhood last Friday and Saturday. Misses Wilnn. and Estelle McDaniel returned home last Thursday after a few days visit to this section. Tie most pitiable object in Adam’s race is a hen-pecked husband—the man who has to submit to the dicta tion of a tyrannical wife who watches nis every movement with a degree of suspicion. We never did believe in wife-beating fttit we have never yet said or thought it was not at some times necessary and well deserving. If a man has to go to torment he ought to try and die first. How some men can love the kind of wives they save Is difficult for us to understand. We acknowledge a kind invitation to attend the memorial services at Gilead church next Saturday and are : sorry we can't ,io so. The “John | Hnmes” Chapter U. D. C. will then 1 there furnish “crosses of honor” | to some who have lost theirs and who I have made application lo have them replaced. Tl.oue who v'ceived their | c •< ps* s of honor through, the John Humes Chapter U. C. D. and wish them replaced, can have this done by ; writing Mrs. J. L. McWhirter, prest- ! dent, or to Miss Anna Hames, secre- 1 tr.ry, Jonesville, S- C. Camp Jefferies i U. C. Veterans has already enrolled twenty members. There are a few old Confederate soldiers in lower Cherokee who haven’t yet enrolled j and we would like to have them do so if it is their wish before the time for the Birmingham reunion—June 9 to 12. Their names can be placed . on the roll by sending them with I their rank, company and regiment and the dues, 15 cents, to G. Whsh ^IcKown, commander, Gaffney, S. C., I R F. D- No. C, or to J. L. Strain, j adjutant, WSlkinsville, S. C. Our ; friends In Greenville are making , great preparations to give the “old j Confederates” a royal welcome there in August and those who go will not , be disappointed in their expectations. Messrs. W. C. and W. B. Kirby at- I tended the Sabbath school at Salem I last Sabbath. i Rev. C. M. Teal preached at Ab<ng- , don Creek last Sabbath on the doc trine of the ressurection, text 1st j Corinthians XV, 12th to 20th verses i inclusive. i ,Mr. Sam J. Strain, R. F. D. Carrier, j handled 4,300 pieces of mail matter last week-. Your correspondent has been quite unwell for a' few days and is not feel ing the best at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Blackwell went to Gaffney yesterday on a shopping tour. Farmers are getting up with their work pretty well. The last few windy days has dried the ground so that cotton can’t come up. They are har rowing the land in hard places. Oats are needing a shower of rain to keep them from stunting and the cool days and nights make vegetation look sick ly. Mrs. J. N. Strain and children visit ed her parents, Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Comer, last Saturday. . Major. William Henry Harrison fin ished painting Mr. C. F. Inman’s house last week and has gone to Smyrna to do some painting there for different parties. Wte learn that it’s no uncommon thing to see people fishing along the creeks and river on the Sabbath day. We had a better opinion of our people than to think they would engage in such work though we are aware that the millennium hasn't come yet. Fortunately, ho vever these are not people—either white or black—who claim to be anybody of much note or notice. They are about on a par with th,ose who spend their Sabbath days m the woods gambling—white and "niggers”—iq which the “nigger” is the best of the two, if there is any best in the choice. People who own or control land ought to post thefV premises against such intruders and enforce the law for its violation. There are two classes of people—the gentleman and the colored man; the “plug’’ and the “nigger.” We have for a long t|me thought we had one of the best communities In the State—‘both of whites ' and colored people—and we still think we have enough °f good people to put a stop to such acts of vice and immor- ability, In our neighborhood If it is go ing on. The man who thinks he is more respected by outlaws for letting them do as they please. Is badly mis taken—fo r he is not; and they are inclined to believe he is no better than they are, even if he is as good. They have a large enrollment of scholars at Abingdon Creek and good order in their Sabbath school. Mr. WL T. Osment is superintendent and Mr. R. H. Bratton, secretary. Miss Bonnie McCiuney was taken seriously ill yesterday morning on her way to school and was compelled to return to her home at Mr. Wm. G. Fowler’s, where she Is hoarding, and 'phone for Dr. Flefielfi who reached her in time to relieve her of her gieat sufferings. Yesterday evening your correspondent called to see her and found he;- resting easy. We hope she will he able to resume her work today (o r very soon). She is making preparations for her school entertain ment next Saturday and we would lie sorry that her illness should inter- fere with the occasion. Her mother. Mrs. Emma McCiuney, came to see I' f T yesterday evening and spent last ntght with her. Rev. T. F. Boozer closed his school at Sunnyside last Friday. Cotton planting will generally be finished up this week if the weather conditions are favorable. Rev. Geo. R. Ratchford will preach at Salem the third Sabbath of this month—May 17th. The Childrens’ Day at Salem hasn’t yet been named, we presume it will be about the last of July or first week in August. Mr. \forgan Millwood will have watermelons for the big days in lower Cherokee this summer. Call for “Morg’s” best. Rev. T. B. Owens wijl preach at Mesopotamia next Sabbath morning. Hon. James Cannier, candidate for railroad commissioner, was at Wil son's Chapel and Sardis last Sabbath shaking hands with his friends. We *-ope the voters will remember “Cans- Icr, of Tirzah,” on the day of election and give him a “rousing” vote. If he can solve the railroad question It is more than the others have done yet. though we don’t doubt but they have tried faithfully and honestly to do so. Of this we are sure—he is no fool. Ou. Tirzah correspondent expresses a great desire to see and form the acquaintance of “J. L. 8.” Dear sis ter, we can assure you that In him you will neither find a beauty nor a Solomon—though some people may think otherwise. j. l. 8. FLAG RAISING. The Exercises Will Take place To morrow.

Town Afte r Blind Tigers. s \ In addition to the McDade case which was heard Monday morning and which was noted in our last issue, three young white men, Frank Hayes, .las. Miller and Geo. Harris were before the mayor yesterday morning, and all three pleaded guilty of violating the dispensary law. Miller was senten ced to pay a fine of $25 or serve twen ty days on the chaingang. He paid his fino and wag released from cus tody. Hayes was fined $25 which was also paid. James Harris was al so fined $59 or twenty-five days on the gang. Miller’s fine has not as yet been paid but it is understood that he will pay. These defendants were let off with lighter punishment than McDade sim ply because they submitted and threw themselves on the mercy of the court. The court warned them, however, that if they were arrested again, they might expect the full limit of the law. The town officers are de termined to put a stop to the sale of whiskey in our midst, and those who have been violating the law will in every instance he arrested as their names are known to the officers.

Two mules and one cow were burned to death, and two more mules were so badly burned that they are expected to die. This is the same bam that was burned a year or two ago, and for which a negro was tried and convict ed for setting the fire. This is the third time the barn on this place has been burned during the past few years, [t is not known whether there v as insurance or not. The total loss will amout to several hundred dollars.

Harris, at Jonesville some time ago. seems that the oil mill company has this reservoir on its premises In the city and that there Is no fence around it nor any protection against children going there, o r even going in bathing in the water. Little Luther Franks was only seven and a half years old, and at the time he met his death was hanging over the water by the sup* ply pipe allowing the water to run down upon his feet; presumably, he lost his hold and fell into the reser voir and was drowned. It was a cus tom of the mil] boys to go to the reservoir to bathe, and to do as young Rev. W- P. Hines. Rev. W. P. Hines, of Lexington, Ky., who is conducting a series of services at the First Baptist church, paid The Ledger a pleasant call yes terday. M*r.

W- P- Hinas Continues to Or*w Large Congregations. The services at the First Baptist church continue to attract attention and large congregations —especially at night—are attending the services. Rev. W. P. Hines, the minister who is conducting the service, is one of • he most forceful pulpit orators of the day. He makes no pretence towards the use of flowery language yet Is eloquent and convincing in the plain ness of his speech. Considerable in terest is being manifest in the meet ing and men and women are urging their acquaintances to attend and share the benefits of the meeting. Dr. Simms, the pastor, is happy, as well he might be. He has secured a splendid preacher who can unfold to wayward man the plan of salvation. The invitation to attend the services is hearty and genuine. Today at 4 p. m., Mr. Hines will have for his subject, “Shall we know each other in heaven?” At 8 p. ra. the subject will be “Sin and its con sequences.” Tomorrow at 8 p. m. “Does death end all, or is there a further life?” will be the theme. There will be no afternoon service. On Sunday at 11 a. m. the subject will be “Saved by blood,” and at 4 p. m. “How may 1 know that I am saved ” and at 8 a. m. “A question that no man can answer.” On Monday at 4 p. m. “The power of a woman” and at 8 p. ra. “Ex cuses.” The meeting will probably continue until next Sunday. Those who fail to take advantage of 'the opportunity to hear Mr. Hines will miss some mighty good preaching. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Col. Sam T. Reid, of Converse, and Major E. C.
