NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Wb&t has befomr of Gaffney’s
Hoard of Trade? Has it gone out of
commission?
• •
Some people spend too much time
attending to other people’s business
and not enough attending to their
own.
• • •
Dixieland awaits with open arms
the coming of the prosperity wave,
and most of us believe that it is
about due if it expects to come in on
schedule time.

Spartanburg was recently visited
by a Chinese editor name Li Sum.
He couldn’t reflect on the reputation
of those already living there, espec-
cially when it comes to main lines!
a a •
It may not set well on the stomachs
of some of us, but the truth is that
there are not so many people in Dixie
land disappointed in the outcome of
the election as most people might
suppose.
a a a
Some people work too much with
their hands and not enough with
their heads; while some work too
much with their heads and not enough
with their hands. It’s hard to get the
thing balanced.

Tennessee is earning for herself an
unenviable reputation for lawless
ness. Only a few weeks ago “night
riders’’ murdered a prominent law
yer, and on Monday the cowardly son
of a thin-skinned politician, accompa
nied by his father, took the life of
one of the South’s most brilliant citi
zens, ex-Senator Edward W. Carmack.
Mr. Carmack was the editor of The
Tennessean, a paper publish at Nash
ville, and had incurred the displeasure
of this politician because of his utter
ances in his paper, and he was shot
down in the street like a dog. If
young Cooper, the slayer, does not
suffer punishment it will not be be
cause he does not desreve it.

Our neighbor, the Cherokee News,
uttered au undeniable truth last
week in the paragraph which fol
lows:
The greatest need of Cherokee
county just now is good roads, and
the way to have them is to build
roads that will be permanent and not
require to be worked after every lit
tle rain and then be impassable for
several days on account of the mud
But, somehow or other, it seem»
as if our county officials had rather
spend what little money they have
throwing up dirt roads for the
rain to wash away than to invest it
in something durable and lasting.
For our part we cannot see the wis
dom or economy in the system .
Another Mad Dog Scare.
Last Friday little Verdie Allison,
five years old, and her sister. Miss
Bertha, daughters of Mr. S. A. Alli
son, of the Grassy Pond neighbor
hood, and Miss Lucile Daniel, daugh
ter of Mr. Joe Daniel, of the same
neighborhood, were bitten by a dog
supposed to have hydrophobia. The
victims were brought to Gaffney and
Mr. Brown Lowe’s madstone applied.
The stone stuck on little Verdie for
eleven hours and twenty-five min
utes, on Miss Bertha for eighteen
hours, and on Miss Daniel for twelve
hours and fifteen minutes and was
still adhering when this was writ
ten.
J. T. Bishop, of Santuc, was bitten
by a dog last Saturday. He was
brought to Gaffney and the madstone
applied. It adhered sixteen hours
and thirty-five minutes.
Mr. Lowe’s madstone is making
quite a reputation for itself and its
owner.

THE SEED CORN CONTEST.
is, by no means, the dreadful
disease it is thought to be—in
the beginning.
It can always be stopped —in
the beginning. The trouble is:
you don’t know you’ve got it;
you don’t believe it; you won’t
believe it—till you are forced
to. Then it is dangerous.
Don’t be afraid; but attend
to it guick—you can do it
yourself and at home. Take

This is sound doctrine, what
ever you may think or be told;
and, if heeded, will save life.
It Will Be Decided at the Court House
Next Thursday.
Next Thursday should be a memor
able day for the farmers of Cherokee
county, as that Is the date that has
been fixed for the awarding of the prize
in the seed contest. On this occas
ion the prize of $50, offered by the
Merchants and Planters Bank, of this
cHy, for the best acre of upland corn
in Cherokee county will also be
awarded. The meeting will be held
In the court house, and every farmer
in Cherokee county is Invited to be
present. It makes no 'difference
whether or not he has entered either
of the contests. There will be sev
eral good speeches on the subject of
corn raising, one by Commissioner of
Agriculture Watson, of Columbia,
and one by an expert from the De
partment of Agriculture at Washing
ton.
In writing about this contest Mr.
P. Hartley, of the Bureau of Plant
Industry at Washington, says:
“Ten seed ears is a good number
to require of competitors, especially
if it is their first contest. A larger
number is better for older corn breed
ers. The ten ears should be their
own growing and grown in 19TT8. With
the ten ears should be furnished a
statement of the kind of land upon
which they were grown _and the
length of time from date of planting
required for the corn to ripen.”
Commissioner Watson writes:
“I expect to use every endeavor to
be with you on this occasion, for I
am deeply interested in the purpose
of the meeting.”
If the offering of these prizes by
the Merchants and Planters Bank will
stimulate the growing of corn in
Cherokee county and eventually
cause our people to raise all they re
quire it will have served a great and
useful purpose and conTfibuted much
to the prosperity of our county.
