Oapt. Lemuel M. Hutchinson, Mont

“It gives me pleasure to write yon this
letter at this time on account of the good
yonr Peruna has done me when I was
quite done np with a very had cold.
“loonld hardly perform my ordinary
duties, but from the use of Peruna I am
almost restored to health. I am quite
convinced that it has helped me from
chronic catarrh, to which 1 am subject.
It has also iKUieflted my throat.
“I can truly recommend it as the best
all-round medicine it has been my priv
ilege to become acquainted with.
“Of this I am quite convinced from nay
own experience.”

Sept. 18 2t.
Last weeks Issue of the Cherokee
News contained a communication
from Mr. W. J. Moorehead, of Blacks
burg. in which he took occasion to
assail the county administration and
Supervisor Lipscomb especially. Mr.
Moorehead’s card follows:
I hope you will allow me space in
your paper to say a few words that
won’t amount to a hill of beans.
Mr. John E. Jefferies said in his
speech here on the campaign that
Cherokee township paid more taxes
than any other part of the county,
which, he said, was not right, and
in fact called the late Col. Camp’s
attention to it. It does seem to me
that this part of the county deserves
some recognition. We only had one
candidate from this side of the river,
who had a part of a term in the legis
lature, and who did more so far as I
know than all the members that have
been there since I have been in the
county, nearly four years.'
Mr. Hall was brought out for the
purpose of defeating Mr. Hardin.
One man north of your city says that
he heard three men say that Mr. Hall
must run for the legislature In order
to defeat Mr. Hardin.
Lots of work is done in this coun
ty to benefit Gaffney. For instance,
look at the bridge above Gaston
Shoals, nearly in North Carolina;
look at the free ferry at Ninety-Nine
Islands and the road work in the
direction of Gaffney. A petition was
carried to Gaffney endorsed by York
county’s officials to pay half the ex
penses in building a bridge at
Howell’s ferry. Our supervisor would
not listen to anything like that.
Why? Because it would not help
Gaffney. In my judgment a bridge
at that place would be of more bene
fit to the public than any place I
know of. I don’t think any official
ought to know any part of the coun
ty when it comes to justice and fair
ness. Some people can see only as
far as their interest goes and no fur
ther. Some people are so narrow, as
Sam Jones said once to an editor of
some paper who criticized his ser
mon, that a fly could light between
their eyes and scratch one eye and
kick the other one out, they are so
narrow.
I hope we can have a law ao that
a township can use its own road
money and not a dollar more. Now
a word about Mr. Hall. I like Mr.
Hall and know he has the ability to
make a good legislator, and believe
he will.
In future when this side is called
on to send delegates to the county
convention we may as well write the
chairman something like this: “We
are at your mercy, give us what you
want us to have, our hands are tied,
We can do nothing, so help us please.
Deal with us gently; we are humble
servants of thine; you can give us a
crum or crust. Not our will but*
thine; we submit, take our road
money, use it to build good roads to
Gaffney.”
When seen by a Ledger reporter
and asked what he had to say In re
ply to the above, Mr. Lipscomb said:
“It is claimed that the people of
Cherokee township returned their
property at a higher valuation than
those of other townships. If that be
true they have been paying more tax
es in proportion than the people of the
other sections of the county, but
submit that this is a matter which
| can and should be amicably adjusted
in the auditor’s office, and with which
have nothing to do.
“All I have to say in regard to the
defeat of Mr. Hardin is this: Had
the people of Cherokee township,
Mr. Hardin’s home, voted for him as
strong In proportion as the people of
some of the townships this side of
the river he would have bet n elected.
A man must first be able to carry the
community In which he lives by a
pood sized majority before he can
expect others to vote for him, but In
this case it seems that the people
this side of the river had more con
fidence In Mr. Hardin than the peo
ple of Cherokee township. There
fore, his defer.t cannot be laid to the
voters this side of the river.
“The most important matter, how
ever, is Mr. Moorehead’s acquisition
against me as supervisor in favoring
this side of the river in road work.
have worked all over Cherokee
township and since I have been in
offlee I have done more wont around
Blacksburg in proportion to the
roads than I have around Gaffney.
Where a bridge is built In this coun
ty it is located where it will serve
the largest number of people In the
judgment of the county board of
commissioners. Mr. Moorehead is In
error when he says the new iron
bridge is above Gaston Shoals. It is
at the old Stacy ferry, a mile and a
quarter below Gaston Shoals. As to
the petition for a bridge across Broad
river at Howell’s ferry I will say
that I favor the construction of a
bridge at this place and just as soon
as the legislature meets and author
izes the board of county commission
ers to levy a special half mill tax to
defray the expenses of the erection
of such a bridge I shall urge tne
county commissioners to accept
the proposition of the York
county commissioners. We cannot
carry on work without authority of
law and no one is to be blamed for
this delay be< ause the question was
only sprung since the meeting of the
last legislature and cannot be attend
ed to before the legislature meets
again.”

Weekly Weather Bulletin.
Weather bulletin for the week
ending September 14, 1908:
The week was characterized by
generally clear weather, unusually
cool nights, and very light precipita
tion, conditions favorable for harvest
ing operations. The weekly mean
temperature ranged from 1 degree to
4 degrees below the normal, the
greatest departures having been re
corded in the eastern portion. The
daily maximum temperatures ranged
in the eighties, rising to 90 degrees,
or above, on one or more days at a
few places. The dally minimum tem
peratures ranged generally In the
sixties, falling below 60 degrees over
the western division on the 9th, 11th
and 12th in many localities. The ex
tremes were 93 degrees at Bowman
on the 7th, and 58 degrees at San-
tuc on the 9th and 11th, at Bates-
burg and Rock Hill on the 11th, and
at. Spartanburg on the 12th.
The precipitation was generally
light and largely confined to -the
eastern counties where a few places
received weekly amounts exceeding
an inch, except that severe local
thunder storms occurred on the 7th
in the western division accompanied
by damaging hail in Anderson coun
ty. The general absence of rain was
favorable, the soil being amply sup
plied with moisture.
Low lands bordering the Santee,
lower Pee Dee and lower Savannah
rivers remained overflowed through
out the week.

The Work of the University.
More and more the university au
thorities are striving to link the in
situation to the common schools of
the State. Several members of the
present faculty have for years been
closely identified with the common
schools—teaching in the State and
county schools for teachers, address
ing teacher bodies and the public on
school matters. Realizing that the
high school situation in the State
was far from satisfactory, the board
of trustees a little more than two
years ago established in the Univer
sity a chair of secondary education,
and called to it a man who had
taught for nearly twenty years in
the common schools, most of that
time in South Carolina. Prof. Hand
began by giving half of his time to
teaching in the institution, and the
other half to field work over the
State. Within less than a year the
demand for bis time 1 1 s
that from that time since he has
given almost his entire time to, this
high school work over the State. In
the meantime the legislature has ap
propriated $50,000 annually to aid
the high schools, and the State board
of education made Prof. Hand its
State inspector further linking the
institution to the schools. There are
now in round numbers one hundred
State aided high schools, town and
rural. These schools are getting the
benefit of his services In building
courses of study, classifying their
work, and urging on-the improvement
of these schools. For the first time
in the history of the State an the
colleges and the public at large have
access to detailed tabulated informa
tion as to the actual work done la
all the high schools ot the State.
The volume of correspondence and
the number of buUetins of informa
tion which pass through this office
are heavy, and are growing almost
daily. This department of the Uni
versity is devoted to the educational
interest of the State rather than to
the individual interest of this Insti
tution.
