NOTES AND COMMENTS.
‘ Will the Dispensary Pay?” Is the
heading over an article In the Union
Times by Rev. F. C. Hickson. We
thought Mr. Hickson bad long since
come to the conclusion that the die-
venaary was not a paying institution.
* • *
The leaders of both parties con
tinue to claim everything in sight,
and some that is out of sight. When
election day arrives the G. O. P. will
reaeh down in its jeans, produce the
long green and elect Billy Taft. That
has been their method in the past
and we look to see them duplicate it
Tuesday week. Otherwise Miss De
mocracy will win in as walk.

Night riders in Tennessee called
two prominent lawyers out of a hotel
last Monday night and murdered them
because they were instrumental in
having the legislature pass an act reg
ulating fishing in Reel Foot Lake.
What is this country coming to? A
lot of hot headed, vicious devils ride
rough-shod over the law of the land
and commit murder to avenge a real
or fancied grievance, the governor
offers $10,000 as a reward for their
capture and conviction and there the
matter ends until the lawless element
get ready to commit further depreda
tions. There isn’t so much the mat
ter with our laws as there is with
our boasted civilization.

RAVENNA READINGS.
The Ledger now enjoys a splendid
circulation among /the farmers of
Cherokee, as weH/’as the citizens of
Gaffney and Blacksburg. There is an
element (j? our people, however, that
we, do reach as thoroughly as we
/ Would like, although we have many
very appreciative friends and pat
rons among them, and these are our
mill people. We waut to reach
more of them than we do and with
that idea in view we have inaugurated
another voting contest which we
hope will aftpeal to them especially.
The Ledger prints every week a col
umn or more of mill news which
should be interesting to them. Be
sides, they should take The Ledger
because of its local news value. Now
let us all pull together for a large in
crease in The ledger’s subscription
list We give more real value than
any other newspaper in South Caro
lina for the money and so thoroughly
convinced are we of this fact that we
agree to discontinue any subscrip
tion and return the money if anyone
becomes dissatisfied with the paper
after having subscribed for it.
Card of Thanks.
| The undersigned desire to thank
their friends for the efforts made in
their behalf in the recent contest con
ducted by The Ledger. 'We also de
sire to thank The Ledger for the fair
ness in which the contest was con
ducted. We are all perfectly con
tent wljjfc' the result, and should
another contest be conducted we
it will be as successful as this
one.
