Local New* and Personal* of Qonoral Interest. Draytonvllle, Aug. 18.—Rev. E. G Ross, of Greer, fillerT his regular ap pointment at this place last Saturday and Sunday. There was a large con gregation at the Sunday service to which he delivered a strong and en thusiastic sermon from the sixth and seventh verses of thirty-second chap ter of Numbers. An offering was taken for aged ministers and the amount of $1.50 was contributed to the good cause. Mr. Dossie Patterson made a busi ness trip to King’s Mountain, N. last Saturday and returned home Sunday. The candidates will speak at Pond- field Thursday and we trust the voters will come out and give the candidates a lively cheer and decided by the 25th of ibis month who will be the proper men for the various county and State offices. The people should be careful about who they cast their vote for governor. We need a good Christian and moral man for this im portant office. We notice that there is a great deal said about Cole Please but we cannot say lhat all of it is true, but we hope the people will elect the proper man, whether it be Blease or Ansel. Both are intelligent and men of ability. Your correspondent had the pleas ure of attending the Broad River As sociation at Gaffney last week and he enjoyed the occasion very much. We had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of a goodly number of the people of the ditierent sections of the county. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. John Strain, of Clif ton. The Ledger’s correspondent at that place. The association was the largest and best that has convened in a number of years. The people of this place are mak ing rapid movements toward the con structing of the new church. They have nearly all of the framing lumber on the ground and in the church conference last Saturday it was decided to dispose of the old church on the 29th of this month. The house will be sold to the highest bidder and the party or parties who purchase the house are requested to try to get it off the ground by the 15th of September in order that the foundation can be laid for the new church. Stainly Wilson was elected treasurer of the church building com mittee at the conference last Satur day. Mr. Will Turner, of the Midway section, was down in this section Sunday, visiting his old friend, Mr. Cleve Phillips. Messrs. Henry Sellers and Claude Hammett, two of Wilkinsville’s popu lar young men, attended religious ser vices here Sunday. Mr. Dolph Patterson, of Gaffney, who has been spending two weeks in this section visiting relatives and friends, returned home last Sunday afternoon. Mr. I). C. Phillips went to Gaffney last Saturday afternoon to get a piece of machinery for his mill which broke down Saturday morning. His grind ing (lavs are every Saturday of each week. Rev. E. G. Ross preached at Ross Grove last Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock to a very large congregation. Mrs. Dovie Northy and children spent last Saturday with the family of Mr. Crate Patterson, near Chero kee Palls. There was a very large crowd out at our prayer-meeting last Saturday night and the subject of "Prayer” was expounded by Mr. Will Huskey and our pastor, Mr. Ross. In the conclus ion of his speech he hit the base ball players a good lick and said that he thought that it would be better for the Christians to attend to their church duties than to go to ball games. A number of our young people at tended religious service at Robb Grove last Sunday afternoon. Among them were Misses Alma Latimer, Net tie Marsh. Ethel and Eva Elmore and Messrs. Grover Patterson and John Childers. Mr. Joe Rains visited relatives In the Providence section last Sunday. Messrs. J. E. Rains and R. R, Par ker. of Gaffney, attended leligious services here last Sunday. On account of the evil conduct of the people at ball games we have de cided to discontinue our writing con cerning the interest of ball games. While attending the association we were told that one of the league players of the Greenville team, said that it took $16,000 to support the team one month. This is an enormous sum to give to support a feature that much evil is produced from. Just think that the vast amount of $192,000 that is spent for the support of that league team for one year was given to some religious cause, how much more good would it be for them, who spend the money in the other land just over the river than they get out of the money intrusted in the ball games. The Christians who attend the games instead of their church du ties will, in our observation, regret that they did'not attend Christ's cause instead of the devil’s cause. Some of the young men of this sec tion are contemplating standing the rural delivery carriers examination which will he held at Gaffney next Saturday. We believe that if these young men get an opportunity they will prove themselves to be faithful and intelligent servants. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Parker attended religious services at Ross Grove last Sunday afternoon. There w’ere some young people from Grassy Pond worshiping with us last Sunday. Come again, young men, we are glad to have you with us. Mr. George McCraw and family re turned home las Saturday after a few days visit in the Midway and Providence sections. Mr. D. C. Phillips has moved his saw mill back home where he will saw for the public. Mr. Phillips is a very wise man as he has helped the people of this section wonderfully. He has a saw mill, cotton gin and a grist mill. We think that if he would get a flour mill that he would do the section a great deal more good. He will when he sees a good opportunity. A number of our farmers went to Gaffney to attend the Farmers’ Union rally. They report a nice time. Mr. Azer Parker is visiting relat ives at Glendale this week. I have not seen anything pertain ing to the riddle line in quite a while and thought I would give one for the young readers to solve as well as the older ones. Here is the riddle: I belong to a large family. Some of my brothers are tall and some are short, some large and some small. Some are very noisy, others talk more quietly. A great many of us were horn in a foreign country, but. we all have the same facial expression and speak the same language. You will think that I have very bad manner when 1 tell you that I always keep my hands before my face, and never re move them under any circumstances. I am somewhat deformed as one of my arms Is longer than the other, but that does not hinder my usefulness. I am a person of great activity, al ways moving while standing still. You will find one or more of my family in every household. If any of you readers can guess what this Is please let us hear from you. .

Lynch, editor of the Phillips- burg, N. J., Daily Post, writes: “I have used many kinds of medicines for coughs and colds in my family but never anything so good as Foley’s Honey and Tar. I cannot say too much in praise of it.” Cherokee Drug Co. Mrs Eliza D. Stewart, a noted tem perance advocate, is dead at the age of 92 years. While Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup is especially recommended for children, it is, of course, just as good for adults. Children like to take It because it tastes nearly as good as maple sugar. Its laxative principle drives the cold from the system by a gentle, natural, yet copious action of the bowles. Sold by The Gaffney Drug Company.
