Some one has said “an honest man Is the noblest work of God.” Close kin to him is the fellow who is al ways cheerful and who is always boosting. • ss A a rive about Gaffney will convince anyone that building operations are again becoming active. Within two months we look for a splendid reviv al of all business interests. • • • "1 cannot tell a lie.’’—George Wash ington, the first president of the United States. “Everybody is a liar, except myself.”—Theodore Roosevelt, last president of the United States. • • • The action of the Cherokee divis ion of the Farmers Educational and Co-operative Union in passing resolu tions condeming night riders is most commendable and will meet with the hearty approval of every rigfft-think- ing man. • • • Brother Carpenter, of the Anderson Daily mail, is responsible for this: One night lately sister made a date to go up town and learn to skate; tit wiliow, tit willow, tit willow; when she got home it was very late, and she’s been sick ever since—at any rate she sits all day on a pillow. • • • What the Democrats need most just now is money with which to make a whirlwind finish of this cam paign. If you haven’t contributed your dollar or your mite, you should do it at once. If we would win we must work and give of our substance to help things in the doubtful States. • • • From all indications it appears that they shouted a little bit too soon over in Spartanburg over the advent of the C. C. & O. R. R. Contracta have only been let from Bostic to Broad river and it is by no means certain that Gaffney will not get the main line after all. Let us hope so. In the meantime it would be well for Gaffney -to keep her weather eye open • • • There isn’t a better town on earth than Gaffney. Lots of good people live here, but there is plenty of room for lots more. It is regretable that so many other towns find It necessary to draw on us for citizens. YorkviUe, Union. Spartanburg, Charlotte, At lanta and other villiages are constant ly calling on us for people to build up their waste places, and we are get ting tired of supplying the demand. We Tjf-ed them at home. on cotton, provided It belongs to the party seeking the loan and he has not already pledged It to some one olse for obligations incurred. The local banks are doing their part towards helping the farmers hold cotton. They will not, however, loan money for the purpose of buying cot ton and take a security for the loan on the cotton purchased. _ This is equal to the bank speculating in cot ton, and no good bank will speculate.

An Associated Press dispatch of Wednesday quotes Mr. Bryan as say ing: “There is no State in the West where the changes are not in favor of our party and the reports that we get are not only encouraging, but they are increasingly encouraging. That is the reports are more favor able now than they were one month ago and one month ago they were more favorable than they were two months ago. Everything we hear from the East increases the confi dence that the Democrats feel In the success of the ticket.” • • • Some fellow who had a Hen on his cotton applied at a local bank for a loan on his cotton and was refused the loan on the ground that it was already mortgaged, or words to that effect He went out and started the rumor th^t the local banks would not loan money on cotton. The fact is that the local banks will loan money Newsy Notes and Personals From Our Regular Correspondent.
