We are glad to be able to announce that Prof. Spears has decided to re main iu Gaffney as the superinten dent of the graded schools. Prof. Spears will remain in Gaffney during the summer. In last Friday’s Ledger we reported Dr. Steedly as having performed an operation on a son of Mr. Price Mar tin and Inadvertently stated that he was assisted by Dr. J. M. Calwell, when, as a matter of fact, he was as sisted by Dr. Wm. Anderson. To Dr. Anderson is due the credit of first diagnosing the case .correctly.

Dr. Lodge delivered an address at Boiling Springs last Thursday on the occasion of the closing of the High School at that place. The doctor Is en thusiastic in his praises of the people of the Boiling Springs neighborhood. He says they have a magnificent building which cost $15,000, and that the people of the community are well Informed and progressive, and that the school is doing a great work. We received a pleasant call from Prof. J. E. Swearingen, of Cedar Springs Institute for the blind, Satur day. Prof. Swearingen is a candi date for State superintendent pf edu cation. He has heed totally blind for twenty years, but this misfortune did not prevent him from being the first honor man in Souh Carolina Univer sity of the class of ’99. He is a ne phew of Senator Tillman, and his re semblance to his distinguished uncle is very striking. HOW TO RELIEVE TRADE STAG NATION. At the present time when owing to conditions In the business woild gen erally, a large number of people are out of employment and thertp is more f or less temporary stagnation of trade, when various organizations are con sidering the means and ways of re lieving the situation, it is Interesting to consider, In a necessarily brief manner, the part that building and LITTLE by LITTLE / if persisted in, will acromplifjh wonders. Mammoth f.oies iij 1 ' hard rock have been worn hy small but continuous drops of water. Little sums of money saved and from time to time, deposited iu this strongbank will, in time, make the owner rich. No one can realize until he tries it. how fast little sums loan associations play In thee building' wi 11 accumulate, or how soon they will grow into amounts thai up of a growing community and pro- can he profitably invested. Never get the idea that you are viding work for the unemployed, it, making too little to start a bank account. We will accept a4 is a curious fact, that many people; deposit of $1.00 to start an account and after that any amount who are directly and vitally interested; may be deposited, in the lines of work, which are pro- i vided by these associations, do not I seem to realize that in order for!C. M. Smith, President, associations Drug I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I l I 1 I Shooting at Gaston Shoals. Mr. H. A. Parshal, who is the Superintendent in charge at Gaston Shoals, w&s forced to shoot a negro named Robert Montgomery Sunday. Montgomery was engaged in beating a woman named Emma Mayfield near the office, and the woman called upon Mr. Parshal for protection. Parshal ordered him to desist, but this seem ed to Infuriate the negro more, and he came towards Parshal beating the woman with a rock. Parshal seized a small 22 calibre rifle, and shot the negro through his right arm, he kept advancing however, and Parshal shot him through his other arm, as this failed to stop him, he fired two more shots into him, one in the side and the other Into his back, when the ne gro iled. The above statement Is con tained In an affidavit of the woman whom the negro was beating, and Is also the substance of a statement made by Mr. Parshal, who is In jail at Gaffuey. The negro while he Is seriously injured is getting on welt and the chances are that he will re cover. The negro, Montgomery, was under the influence of whiskey at the time, and as he was engaged in an unlawful act, Mr. Parshal had every right under the law to interfere, more especially as the woman had appeal ed to him for protection. Mr. Par- these associations to carry on their work to its greatest utility, it is nec-1 cesary for them to secure sharehold ers of these same people, so that by lending the money for the purpose of building homes, employment Is given directly and indirectly to hundreds of people. As an illustration, the bulding and loan associations of Gaffney, at the present time, are deluged with appli cations for loans for building pur poses and are of course unable to care for more than a comparatively small number of these applications at the present time. The banks who conduct a commercial business, dn not loan money in the same way and yet, as can be gathered from a mo ments thought, money directed in this channel, performs the most valu able service possible in a growing community like ours. With new people coming each year, it stands to reason that new homes must be provided to take care of these new citizens. The building of these homes from the excavation to the finishing touches, provides work for every class of artisan and tradesman in any way conected with the construction or the supplying of a new home. Therefore with increas ed shareholders the building and loan associations, would be capable of lending additional money on ex cellent security, viz: first mortgage on real estate, and in this way, a great deal of the present stagnation in various lines of work would be au tomatically relieved. The excellent work done by the building and loan associations m keeping the wheels of progress turn ing cannot be exaggerated. They are the only form of financial corpora tions which loan all of their money all 01 the time to assist in furthering real estate and building Interests. Their security being first mortgages on improved real estate, Is the best possible, and so far as the guarding of the depositor’s money is concerned, there could be no more secure man ner In which to safeguard their inter ests. The building and loan associations are doing all they can to increase 1 their shareholders, and with this in crease will come the ability to take care of more loans for building pur poses, and then provide work for more people, besides stimulating all lines of general trade, both wholesale and retail.
