r THE GAFFNEY LEDGER. Tuesday and Mday. ft* h. DeCamp. fdltar and Fubllahar NOTES AND COMMENTS. An'one who imagines that South Carolina will have a nonentity in the United States Senate in the person of Hon. E. D. Smith have another guenr coming. He will prove a live wir*- and will not make a fool of him self •drher. • • a Tne cotton growers of Spartan burg ounty have fixed 10 cents as the minimum price at which to sell cotton, and that is low enough. In fact it can be raised at a profit at that price and the mills can afford to pay that price and make a profit on their manufactured product. It seems to us that it would be a gooa thing for the farmer and the manu facturer to get together and agree on making the price of cotton a fix ed one and then there would be no unsettled market conditions to deal with. • * • One of the latest additions to our library is a copy of the “Handbook of South Carolina,” by Mr. E. J. Wat son. commissioner of agriculture, commerce and immigration. This volume contains all the data given In the 1907 edition, which edition re ceived much favorable comment, not a word of which was superfluous, and In addition statistics on all lines to date, besides several entirely new features not given in the 1907 volume. If Mr. Watson lad never done any thing else than given South Carolina tbit* book he has well earned the paltry sum paid by the State for his services. The next legislature may abolish this office. Should it. do so, however, its membership will show a la/k of appreciation of a great work.

CARROLL&BYEfcS < FROM PIEDMONT SPRINGS. “Lucile Lee” Contributes An Inter esting Letter. White Diamond Lithia Springs, Sept. 19, 1908. Yellow, mellow ripened days, Sheltered in a golden coating; O'er the dreamy, listless haze, White and dainty cloudlets floating; Winking at the blushing trees. And the somber furrowed fallow, Smiling at the airy ease Of the southward flying swallow, Sweet and smiling are thy ways, Beauteous, golden autumn days. —Will Carleton. September Is with us once more and we are just on the threshold of autumn. The farmers are busy har- ai mis place, spent Friday In Gaff ney, Mr. Chas.

Two. Resolutions of Respect. 1 Whereas, it has pleased the Supreme Architect of the universe in His wisdom to remove from our worthy and esteemed brother, W D. Camp, one of our most loyal mem bers and a charter member of our lodge. Therefore, be it resolved; First. That this, Buffalo Lodge, No. 202, A. F. M., deeply deplore the loss of our worthy brother. In his death the community has lost an up- righ f citizen, an honorable gentle man ’rue to every trust confided to min Seiond.

Him.” Third.

Mr. Chas. Clary, the bookkeeper of the most ardent admirers of Nan sen were a couple of old men. who kept shouting and waving their sticks. When the celebrated explorer had passed, immediately following in the wake of the carriage, came a wagon drawn by three horses, hearing a long iron pole, which belonged to the electric tramways company. Direct ly the old men saw It, the following; conversation took place: “Well, I’ll be Plowed! Sitha, Bill.: he’s brought the pole back wi’ him!” said one. “Ay,” said the other admirer of Nansen, “and we t’ only two ’at’s noticed It. They’re all running af ter t’ carriage, sitha; they’re that ignorant; well they can’t tell the pole when they see It!” Shall try to leave the spring for others though.
