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. C. & O. rail
way with a banquet, much speech
making and great fanfare of trump-
et% The Herald issued a twenty-four
page edition that was a credit to the
city and that enterprising sheet. 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.

North Carolina and other points in
regard to the contest and the method

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.

Keystone Traction
Water Well Drillers
Are Money Makers
Everybody uses water. 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. Drills
a 6-inch hole through any formation
to any desired depth at the rate of 50
feet a day in ordinary formations.
Costs $5.00 a day to run in fuel and
labor. Will go anywhere under its
own steam and can be set up and put
to work in 30 minutes. Write for cat
