Several lots of cotton have been sold recently on the local market for twelve cents. There is large quan tity of cotton in Cherokee county yet to be marketed. From reports had from dieffrent' sections of the county, we judge that j the rain fall has been pretty general j and that no part of the county is suf-1 i fering from lack of moisture. The Ledger's voting contest is al-1 ready attracting quite a lot of in- j terest. If you appreciate the ser-1 vices of your R. F. D. carrier, show 1 i it by helping him out. There is room for several smalf! enterprises in Gaffney. What about an overal and shirt factory. The 1 cheap motor power should make such an enterprise feasible.

In a game of ball between the boys across the Broad and the Gaffney In dians Wednesday afternoon, the fea tures of which were the numerous and costly errors of the Indians. Blacljsburg won by the score of 7 to 1 Ross, for Blacksburg, pitched a good game, pulling himself out of several holes where hits meant runs. Snead, for Gaffney, pitched an ex cellent game, allowing only two hits, and had he been given any support at all, would have won his game. He was steady from start to finish and the fact that Blacksburg only secured two hits, shows he was master of the game had the home boys only sup ported him fairly well. Gaffney does not intend to stop playing at all but is still in the game and expects to re main there until the season is over. The boys expect more material short ly. Lumber for the fence around the new park has been bought and the ground will be enclosed just as soon as it arrives, which will be only a few days. Buford Street Methodist Church.
