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.
. We are needing rain as the crops
are beginning to show signs of dry
weather and from the present ap
pearance of the weather it will come
pretty soon.
Success to the good old ledger and
its numerous readers and also to the
editor. School Boy.

What a New Jersey Editor Says.
M. T. 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

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.
The Marquis dl Rudini, former
Italian Premier and at different times
member of the Cabinet, is dead.
