Meets Old Friends and Makes New Acquaintances—Blind Tiger Arrest ed—Other News Notes. Wilkinsville. Nov. 27.—Last Tues day your correspondent made a trip to Yorkville and spent several hours m the city. Being our old county town Yorkville has many endear ments to us. While in the city we met many old friends and acquaint anccs and made several new ones. Court was in session but around the court house was not to be found that large crowd of woe-begone looking people we were accustomed to find there and in other towns during the barroom and dispensary regime. Everything was bright with the business men who said they were do ing fairly well notwithstanding the talk of hard times and the scarcity of money matters. VFe had the pleasure of meeting several of our former Cherokee county people to wit: Messrs. Geo. Brown and O. E. Wilkins and Mr. Al- lein, who are engaged in the mercan tile and banking business, respectively. We are alwavs glad to meet the boys. They were wearing sunny faces and each expressed himself as well pleas ed with his business and surround- ing*- We met Hon. N. W. Hardin, of Blacksburg, attorney at law, who had business before the court and also our jolly good friend, Mr. William Wisher, of King’s Creek, who was at tending court as a witness in an im portant case. At the kind invitation of a friend we went to the A. R. Presbyterian church where we enjoyed a very pleasant hour listening to the pro ceedings. The occasion was a “Mis sionary Rally” th/eting held under the auspices of the Ladies’ Aid So ciety of the Associate Reformed church. There was quite a number of delegates in attendance from dif ferent points of the county. Armed with a copy of the program we went in and took our seat where we could look on and watch the pro ceedings. It was a represent/.tive body of workers made up of the several different denominations—the A. R. Presbyterians predominating numerically. The papers read by the different ladies were of the highest or der, in each of which it was clearly shown that the author was fully con versant with her subject—so much so that we wouldn’t dare attempt to make comment on any of them ex cept to express our admiration for the wonderful forces at work for the ac complishment of such a desirable object as brought them together as a band of consecrated Christian work ers. Rev. R. M. Stevenson presided and with him the pastors of the several churches were ready to give their help and influence. Several of the lay members (males) were present too. Taken all in all it was a body of the best men and women of York county. We give the program in full: Devotional exercises, Ps. 67, S. M. Dr. R. M. Stevenson. 1. Address of welcome, Mrs. M. W. White. 2. Solo, Mrs. A. G. Brice. 3. Missionary address. Miss Janie Love. 4. Sketch of home and foreign work, Mrs. R. M. Stevenson. Song, Ps. 22, L. M., 17th, 18th, Iftth verses. Prayer. Rev. E. E.

Finley and family where we were most kindly entertained by our splen did host and hostess. Mrs. Finlev is a daughter of the late Wm. C. Gist and one of the first ladies of the land. The Gist family have always been recognized as one of the most promi nent and influential in the State and she is a worthy descendant of noble ancestry. Mr. Linley will go to Wash ington, D. C., on next Friday to be present at the opening of congress December 7th. Among others we were very glad to meet our old comrade and mess mate, Wm. M. Kennedy, for whom we have always entertained the high est respect and confidence as a sol dier and a gentleman. Though some what our senior in years he is hale and looks as if many more years of activity and usefulness were In store / for him. We hope so any way. No better or truer man can be found than "Billy" Kennedy. la some places on the York side we found a good deal of cotton in the field. We spent Tuesday night with Mrs. H. B. McDaniel, of Hickory Grove. We are glad to see his children mak ing good headway at school. Prof. Wideman has charge, of the Hickory Grove school where they are going. Miss Agnes Wylie is the assistant teacher. She is a most estimable lady and one with whom it is perfect ly safe to leave the scholastic train ing of the young. Dr. and Mrs. James Hood have re turned from their bridal trip. They went to and spent a few days in Charleston. Our people have been sowing a good deal of wheat and much more w r ill be sown. We hardly think that our farmers will risk their pros pects on a cotton crop any more soon —except what they can raise as a sur plus. We understand that U. S. Marshal H. F. Floyd arrested Isaiah Cunning ham this week for selling liquor. Its a great pity that he couldn’t get big ger game than “Zayer” is. But may be others will come in later. For some time we have been satis fied this blind tiger work has been going on "on the sly” and the arrest of “Zayer" may lead up to other breaches of (Tie law by bigger game A person being asked the time of day said: "The time past noon is equal to one-fourth of the- time till n-idnighi.” What was the hour? Give us the answer. Last week we had good weather for killing hogs and saving meat. Now the weather is unfavorable and several porkers will be spared the knife till the weather gets cool again. Mr. W. R. Walker has had several carloads of hulls and meal shipped to Hickory Grove from the low coun try and he has had several teams hauling them home this week. Mrs. J. L. S. spent yesterday eve ning with Mrs. Ethel Blackwell. Mr. F. A. Goforth attended the meeting of cotton men at New Or leans last week. He is an enthusias tic cotton growers’ man and urges his countrymen to quit raising it to the exclusion of grain crops. He says the farmers are masters of the situat ion if they only knew it—but they must change their tactics before they can accomplish what they want. He is one farmer who raises his “hog and hominy’’ at. home and sells his cotton where he pleases to do so. Thanksgiving day was generally very poorly observed as there was no service at any of our country church es that we know of. If our people were denied this privilege there would be an endless howl of oppres sion raised that our rulers were not treating them rightly. We suppose most of us think we have nothing to be thankful for. Actions speak that way. As a nation and as individuaJs we are chargeable with shameful In gratitude for the blessings and priv ileges enjoyed. This is a sad com mentary but it is nevertheless true. Rev. C. M. Teal will preach at Ab ingdon Creek church on the first Sab bath of December. Miss Bonnie Mcfcluney dismissed her school Wednesday until next Monday. J. L S. ARE YOU JEALOUS? Echos from the Concert. The following concerning the facul ty concert at Limestone College on Monday night of last week, written by one of the best musicians of this city, will be of interest to the many i musicians of Gaffney: i “The first faculty concert was given ! Monday night, the 23rd inst. Much I disappointment was felt because of I the inability of Miss Higley to ap pear, Dr. Lodge making that an nouncement in his graceful way just previous to the beginning of the con cert. This was the first appearance of Mr. Perrrin, the new musical director, and a large audience was present to enjoy his fine renditions of the various numbers. The Mendelssohn Caprice, probably the most familiar of his selections, was given with great bril liancy and expression, and paved the way for the applause given the num hers that followed, all of whielf show ed the result of careful study and preparation. The solo, "Meditation,” by Rugno. for left hand alone, excited the most enthusiasm of the entire program. The readings of Miss Farr were ex ceedingly well rendered, and the au dience manifested their appreciation by unlimited appleause. Taking it altogether, the evening was a most enjoyable one, and our music lovers will look forward with much interest to future recitals of Limestone’s most excellent musical facultv.” If You. Do Not Like The Feeling Call at The Ledger Office. Are you jealous? Do you want to be cured? If so, The Ledger will help to re form you and shame you out of it. Here is the scheme: “East Lynne” will be presented at the Star Theatre next Saturday night. Matinee in the afternoon. A more powerful sermon against jealousness was never preached from any pulpit. We believe that any jealous man or woman who will go and see this play will have at least some jealousness eliminated. We are so Impressed with this that we have bought a number of these tickets for this play and to the first jealous woman, who will come to The Ledger office and say to us, “I am jealous and really want to reform,” we will give free these tickets. This is The Ledger’s missionary work against jealousness. King’s East Lynne is based upon jealousness. The heroine is one of the most jealous women that ever existed. Her jealousy is not of the mild type, but she is cursed with that cankering, blighting sort, the kind that eats into one’s heart and brain until everything good and ele vating is destroyed. There are jealous men and women in every community. No woman wants to marry a jealous man. It Is trqe they oftentimes do and no doubt they are sorry for it. Jealousness Is a trait in the character of women and men that is generally hidden curing courtship. Jealousness has wrecked thousands of homes. It is the em bodiment of many evils. Peaceful domesticity is usually an unknown quantity where jealousness reigns. Some jealous people have reformed. They have been made to see and real ize that others are entitled to thoughtful consideration. Thousands upon thousands of men have been heard to remark after seeing the play: “Isn’t that just like a woman.” “East Lynne” is not without a his tory. It was first produced in 1856 in London and was witnessed by the Queen Victoria. If you are jealous and anxious to be cured, call at the office of The Ledger, bringing a copy of the latest issue with you and if you are one of the first you will be presented with a reserved seat for “East Lynne” ab solutely free. All you have to do Is to say: “I am jealous and want to be cured.” The Woman’s Club. On Thursday afternoon the Wo man’s Club held its regular meeting with Mrs. R. S. Lipscomb. After the president called the meeting to order, the principal business under discus sion was the “Woman’s Exchange.” The ladies feel greatly encouraged in this work. Since Its organization, the progress has been especially fine; and they hope soon to have a firs*- class Woman’s Exchange that the town will be proud of. The program for the meeting was as follows: Roll call—Responses from Lake Poets. Reading—Description of English Lakes, Mrs. W. W. Gaffney. Paper—Mrs. Hemans and De- Quincy, Mrs. S. H. Griffith. Music—Mrs. G. G. Byers. Paper—Prose Writers of English Lake Country, Mrs. B. L. Hames. Reading—DeQuincy’s Confession of an Opium Eater, Mrs. W. C. Ham rick. After the program delightful re freshments were served. Mrs. Dog- gett, of Shelby, N. C., was the guest of the club. S. S. Tiner Gets Bail. The following h-im the Spartan burg Herald of Saturday will be of Interest to many Ledger readers: “S. S. Tiner, who shot and killed Ed. Kirby, at Pacolet on Friday, the 20th, was yesterday granted bail by Judge Klugh in the sum of $3,000. The bond was signed by V. M. Mont gomery, of Spartanburg, and J. B. Kirby, of Pacolet. Simpson & Bo- mar and Stanyarne Wilson appeared before Judge Klugh to get bail for Mir. Tiner. Quite a number of affi davits were presented in behalf of the defendant, but Solicitor Sease held tl$it Mr. Tiner was not justified in shooting Kirby, and that the mat ter should be duly weighed before granting bail. According to the tes timony of eye witnesses Kirby curs ed Mr. Tiner severely, and that after asking him to go away and leave him alone several times, Mr. Tiner picked up a weight from the scales about the express office and threw it at Kirby, striking him on the neck. The Solicitor held that Mr. Tiner was not even justified in striking Kirby un less he had been advancing on him with an open knife or some other weapon. Counsel for the defense held that they considered $1,000 suf ficient bail. The solicitor seemed re luctant in agreeing to $3,000. Mr. Tiner is a prominent citizen of Pacolet. During the past summer he :an for the legislature and polled a very heavy vote. The trouble be tween him and Kirby was of long, standing. Kirby, it seems, was griev ed because Mr. Tiner, as head of the Law and Order League, had some years ago prosecuted him for garni) ling and disorderly conduct, ivn Tiner w;ent to the express office last Friday to get some fruit trees he had ordered. While there waiting on the agent to come, Ed. Kirby appeared and cursed him and threatened him. The friends with whom Mr. Tiner was talking asked Kirby to desist and go away, but he talked on. curs ing Mr. Tiner and the others. Mr. Tiner picked up a weight from about the scales and threw it at Kirby, striking him on the neck. Kirby then drew his knife and advanced on Mr. Tiner, who drew his pistol and fired the fatal shot. Immediately Mr. Tiner surrendered to the authorities and was brought to Spartanburg and placed in the county jail. Kirby, mortally wounded, was brought to Spartanburg and placed in the city hospital, where he died the next morning.” EVILS 4ND DANGERS OF TUBERCULOSIS. EXCELLENT SERMONS. BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

School Children to be Instructed in . the Causes and Dangers of the Dis ease and Its Proper Treatment. New York, Dec. 3.—As a result of the great campaign against tubercu losis now being carried on through out the world, many of the public schools in the United States are tak ing a aew departure in teaching to the children the nature, causes, dan gers and prevention of consumption. A text-book entitled "Simple Lessons on Tuberculosis or Consumption” has just been placed in the seventh and eighth grades of the District of Co lumbia. The Massachusetts educat ional authorities, acting under a law of the Legislature of 1908, are estab lishing courses of instruction ontub- erculosis in all the schools -oTHTe State. In addition to these public movements many of the private or ganizations throughout the country have established, and are establish ing, open-air schools for consumptive children, it being estimated that about two per cent, of the pupils in the large city schools have tubercu losis. The first public school for consump tive and preconsumptive children to be established in the United Spates was opened in Providence, R. I., last January. The sessions were held en tirely in the open, and the benents of the fresh-air treatment were com bined with the teaching and training of the public schools. This experiment led to other move ments, both public and private. The Brookline Anti-Tuberculosis Society opened a school for tuberculous child ren in July which is still successfully conducted. In Boston a school ^for consumptives was opened under pri vate auspices in July, it being the in tention to keep it open for the sum mer months only, but so successful were the results of this work that the city school authorities recently de cided to take over the work and set aside a permanent building for this purpose. In Pittsburg a similar school was opened in September, and the marked benefits which the children have already received from this train ing have led to its enlargement. The Board of Education of New York City has just granted a teacher to the Bellevue Hospital Day Camp for the purpose of conducting a school there, and a consumptive teacher has been secured to teach the consumptive children. This school will be con ducted on the deck of an old ferry boat. In all of these schools the children are kept in the open air all day long. Mjost of the buildings used are opened on three sides and are so constructed as to furnish unlimited supplies of fresh air without draughts. Desks, blackboards and other para phernalia are provided in these schools just the same as in ^he re gular institutions. The children study and recite in the open air, even during the coldest weather, and the percent age of colds among them is far smal ler than children in the ordinary pub lic schools. In most of these fresh- air schools soapstones are provided for keeping the feet warm in cold weather. In addition to these specially con ducted schools several of the States have required that the important facts about tuberculosis be taught in the lower grades of the public insti tutions. Michigan was the first State to adopt measures gf this kind. By an act of 1895, the public schools are required to give instruction on the natqre of tuberculosis and other in fectious diseases. In New Jersey progressive steps are being taken by teaching the children In the schools a set of aphorisms on consumption. In Massachusetts a section on the na ture, dangers and prevention of con sumption, is being inserted in all of the physiologies. In the District of Columbia a special textbook has been provided in which instruction is given eoncernng sleeping in the open air, the dargers of spitting, the way to prevent consumption, and other kind red topics. Dallas, Tex., is the latest city to adopt the method of teaching children about consumption In the school, and within a few days a “Tu berculosis Primer” will be in the hands of every pupil in the public schools. In North Carolina a sepa rate section on tuberculosis, placed in all the physiologies, is taught to all of the children. In Baltimore steps are being taken to carry on a systematic campaign of education among the school children by means of lectures and circulars. Manv otner cities of the country are following this plan. A petition has been sent to the governor of South Car>lin:\ re questing that a text-book on tuber culosis, similar to that used in Wash ington, be placed In the public schools. Several of the other States are also taking steps along similar lines. This movement for the popular education of school children on the causes and dangers of consumption is receiving a great impetus, and ex perts on this subject conclude that within five years the majority of children In the United States will be •HiU'ht concerning the evils aeu ’angers of tuberculosis before they ’cave tlie lower grades of the public schools. Rev. D. W. Richardson Delights Two Presbyterian Congregations. i The congregation of the Presby-! terian church was treated to two ex cellent sermons Sunday by Rev. Donald W. Richardson, of Greer. In the forenoon Mr. Richardson chose as his text Matthew 5:14: “Whoso ever shall compel you to go a mile, go with him twain.” From this text the speaker brought out many inter esting points, the meat of the sub ject being that a man should not be compelled to do good things, but that he should do good -things because of love for his fellow man. The dis course was filled with beautiful pas sages, flights of oratory and poetic*! expressions. j In the evening Mr. Richardson chose Hebrew 11:1: “Faith is the sub stance of things hoped for, the evi dence of things not seen.” From this text the speaker brought out very forcibly the fact that everything is done by faith. We have faith in the historian; faith in the chronicler of facts; faith in business; faith in the promises of others, then why not put faith in the promises of God? This sermon was one that appealed to the reasonableness of man, and it was given most profound attention. > The choir and congregational sing ing was unusually good, as was also the solo work of Mrs. West rope. Mr. Richardson has promised to visit Gnffnev at another time and , preach. He is a man of magnetic personality, and, though young, there is no more consecrated man to be found anywhere. DEATH NEAR GAFFNEY. « ^ Mrs. O. W. Humphries Dies After a Short Illness. Mrs. O. W. Humphries died Friday at her home t/wo miles above Gaffney, after a short illness. She was buried Saturday at Beulah, the funeral ser vices being conducted by Rev. M. G. Latham, in the presence of a large gathering of relatives and friends. The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers: M, B. Fitzgerald, W. W. Thomas. R. A. Proctor, L. Sarratt, Charlie Poole and Lee Allison. Mrs. Humphries was Miss Victoria Glover before her marriage. She was born and reared in North Carolina, and died at the age of fifty-three vears. She had been a member of the Methodist church for thirty-three vears. and was loved and admired by all who knew her for her Christian character and her many amiable and sterling qualities of heart and mind. Besides a large circle of relatives and friends who will greatly miss her in their midst, she leaves a husband and nine children, three boys and six girls, to mourn the loss of a faithful and loving wife and fond, devoted mother. The bereaved husband and child ren have the sympathy of the entire community in their dark hour of sor row. , Cherokee Girl Married. Cherokee, R. No. 3.—Mr. L. C. Green, of Spartanburg county, and Miss Conie Blackwell, of Cherokee, were joined in marriage on Sunday, the 22nd inst., at the residence 'of Mr. K. D. Edwards, notary public, that gentleman performing the ceremony. A large number of relatives and friends on both sides had gathered to witness the happy event; and after the nuptial knot had been tied many of these accompanied the couple to the home of the groom where a table full of good things to eat and drink' awaited them. (The only thing the writer regretted was that he could not go with them and “lend a helping hand!). After the refreshments had been disposed of the party joined us at the church and took part in the prayer-meeting services. Mr. Green, the groom, is one of the most progressive voting men In the Piedmont section, and his bride is one of Cherokee’s pretty and accomp lished young ladies. We sympathize with Cherokee; but her loss is our gain. We join the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Green in wishing them a long, happy and prosperous journey through life. Mav their ship have a calm and peaceful vovage over the sea of time, and may they select Jesus as their captain to guide them , to the other shore. A Friend. Industries in Good Shape and Pros pects Growing Brighter. The Columbia State of Saturday contained a prosperity article that was most encouraging to those of us who are interested in the develop ment of this great State of ours, and Gaffney had a place in the picture, it being contributed by The State’s effi cient local correspondent, Capt. Jas. B. Bell. The article follows: ’’The correspondent of The State has interviewed merchants, manu facturers and bankers in Gaffney in regard to the situation this season, as compared with last, and with one accord they say that times are much better than they were a year ago. President D. C. Ross, of the Na tional Bank, says that his institution has ample funds to meet any demand which is likely to be made upon It, that the farmers and others who have money borrowed are meeting their obligations promptly when they fall due, and that he can see no reason whatever for any lack of confidence from a business standpoint. President Smith of the Merchants’ and Planters’ bank says: ‘Crops In Cherokee are above the average. Less cotton is being held. People are discharging their obliga tions promptly. The bank’s finances are in splendid condition, and confi dence in most lines of business is rapidly assuming normal conditions.’ Ex-Mayor Little says: ’Business prospects are much more encouraging than they were a year ago, and I am not apprehensive of a repetition of conditions which exist ed during the panic.’ Nearly all of the leading merchants say that their business for this month is much better than it was last year, and that their collections promise to be much better than they were last year. The Globe mill, which has been closed down for six months, resumed operations recently, and the manage ment says there is a good demand for the product, which will ensure a good profit. All the mills of Gaffney are now running on full time, and some of them are making more money than ever before in their, history. The Limestone Lime Works is receiv ing so many orders for Its product that It has opened up an additional kiln, which has been out of commis sion for some time. Quite a lot of building is going on in Gaffney, contractors and others having all the work they can do. Mining operations in the county are being pushed with great vigor, and large capital is being invesved in this .'ounty by foreign investors, which is one of the most conclusive proofs that the country is on the eve of an era of prosperity. For Right of Way. “We award the defendant the amount of $547.50, being $75 per acre with timber on it. “J. N. Cudd, foreman, J. M. Easier, G. B. Frey, A. M. Law, A. M. Glover, W. T. Poole, W. B.

Black for right of way of their line through his lands near Cannon’s Camp Ground. The number of acres involv ed were 7.03. The case against H. C. Linder for right of way through his lands, it is undeirstood, has been compromised, and Mr. Linder paid something like $800. It is said there is one more right of way condemnation proceeding in that county before the entire right of way of the (’. C. & O. will be cleared from Spartanburg to Bostic, N.

The choir gave some good music and Victor i Lipscomb sang a solo. At 3 p. m. the church held its an nual meeting and re-elected the same officers; and made a start on the, finances for the new year. Delegates to the State Convention were also ap pointed. At night there was a packed and overflowing house. A choir of girls led the singing, a dozen boys whist ling an accompaniment. The boys also whistled the “Royal Embassador Son,” accompanied by the piano. The music was good and the whist ling was something new here, though common in some churches. Dr. Simms spoke to the young peo ple on “God and Young People.” It was a good day. C. C. A O. Will Run to Newberry. Spartanburg, Nov. 28.—A question of much Interest In Spartanburg at. this time Is what route the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio will take out of this city towards the south. It is known that lines have been run out of here towards Broad river, and down that stream to Columbia. Now it Is reported that engineering par- 1 ifi*H will be started from this city to! put a line between Spartanburg and < Newberry. It is said this line will 1 pass through' much good and unde veloped country. It is generally ac cepted now that the C. C. & O. will build its own line south. G. K. Club Entertained. The members of the G. K. Club were entertained in a most charming manner Thursday evening by Miss Mary Shuford. The meetings of this congenial little club are always pleas ant, but the presence of a few Invited friends, made this one unusually de- lightfifl. The home decorations were very pretty, mistletoe and club colors being used. Delicious cream and cake were daintily served.
