THE GAFFNEY LEDGER* Tuesday and Friday. Ed. H. oaCamp* Editor and FnblMisr ALLURING PROSPECTS. Thai is a glowing picture which (apt. James 11. Bell paints concern ing tiie business outlook for Gaffney, which can be found in another column, yet we do not think he over draws the picture in the least. With all the lights before us we are inclin ed to look forward to the future in anticipation of great things for Gaff ney. Let us remember that there has been a dearth in business circles for a year, that we have passed through a panic, that mills have been run on short time and some shut down entirely, that this is election year, that no new mills have gone up in our midst in a year, that the construction work at Gaston Shoals ha£ been completed about a year, taat theie has been absolutely nothing ao ing in the shape of public works during the past twelve months. Ana then let us remember that the government is soon to commence the construction of a $50,000 postofflce building, that Gaffney will, this coming summer, expend about $100,000 on sewerage and the extension of her waterworks plant, that there is talk of the erection of a new mill, that it Is probable that construction work on the Ninety-Nine Islands plant is to be resumed, that the main line of the C. ('. & O. is to come by Gaffney, that it is not improbable that the county will construct a new $50,000 court house, and that there is talk of a $50,1100 hotel. We tell you frankly, we have great confidence in the fu ture of this town. We do not say all these improvements are to take place this coming year, but we be- Iiev<‘ most of them will; and when ever the capitalists begin to turn loose their money we are going to have a "a full dinner pail” and light hearts. We wouldn't swap Gaffney’s vhanfes for being a great town for those of any other town in South Carolina! This may be too optimis tic a view to take of the city's pro gress; but these are the imprvements we see in the not distant future. If your vision is not clear, then have faith in the views of others and join the booster chorus. Hail and good d;iv to the Gaffney of the future! NOTES AND COMMENTS. cess, Bro. DeCamp.—Cherokee N«ws. We do not know Mr. Mann, who la a candidate for clerk of State Senate, but we do know Kd. H. DeCamp, and we do not believe that the Senate can do better than elect him clerk. He will sit loose to the emoluments of the office and strive for the honor which will come with the well-done of the senators. He is generous to a fault, will do his duty faithfully and will spare no effort to merit all the honor the place can bestow.—Chester Lantern. ' Our good friend. Ed. DeCamp, of Gaffney, is a candidate for clerk of the Senate. If all the senators knew him as we do he would be unanimous ly chosen for this place. He would make one of the best clerks in the history of the Senate of South Caro lina.- Waterec Messenger. Over in Spartanburg they celebrat ed the coming of the C.

But over in Gaffney Ed. DeCamp only said, ‘‘Pshaw! Why make such a fuss over a dinky little spur track? Just wait until the main line trains are rolling Into ‘the only and best town on earth’ and we will show them how to celebrate.”—Greer Observer. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mr. and Mrs. P. T.

These in quiries are being given careful atten tion. All this serves to advertise Cherokee and her wonderful possi bilities. • • • It is probable that more corn will be made in this county next year than ever before. The valuable prizes offered by the Merchants and Plant ers bank for the largest yield have stimulated the farmers to such an extent that numbers of them have al ready commenced preparing their land for the next year's crop, and if the seasons are propitious some very large yields may be expected. It is very Jikely that the prizes for next year will be much more valuable than those offered this year.

A drilled well is the only means of obtaining a pure, cold and unfailing supply. Dug wells and springs are simply cess pools for collecting disease breeding surface drainage. 85 per cent, of typhoid fever is contracted from bad water. A Keystone Drill will penetrate the bed rock and tap the pure, unfailing streams below. All surface water is securely cased off. A drilled well rarely goes dry in the most protracted drou*h. It is safe. There is more money in a Keystone Drilling outfit than in a threshing ma chine, and you work all the year round instead of three months out of twelve. Machine is the most complete on the market and must not be confounded with cheap and tlinisy outfits.
