C., FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1908. 11.50 A YEAR. .DOTING MOIHEIS - >ND PET NAMES. PERTINENT ADVICE FOR THE FOND PARENT. Names Which Inspire Respect and Obedience from Children and Make Them Good Citizens. Wilkinsville, Dec. 8—When doting mothers want to bestow pet names upon their children we recommend "hurry” if its a girl, and “little ras cal” if it s a boy. These names are peculiarly * adapted to inspire indi vidual and parental respect on the part of the child and gives to the parent a great deal of governmental authority over her household—espe cially her children—and it makes her a lovable object in the eye and heart of her husband and neighbors. It fills the child with a peculiar self res pect and advertises the capabilities of the wife and mother for raising "Tom cats” to perfection. Children under such tutorship will naturally grow up to have lovable dispositions and make good, quiet 8nd respected citizens. We have outlined the career of such heretofore and it’s not neces sary to repeat it again. Teachers are apt to envy the home training of such children, especially if they have an overcrop of ill tem per, and make their school and class mates stand round. Horse swapping Joe Cook passed through this section last Monday. He had some swapping stock on hand. We are told that the third Monday of each month is “swapping day” at Hickory Grove. Those of us who haven’t laid in our supply of “bug juice” had better place our orders and have it shipped before the first of January if we ex pect to get it from North Carolina. The estimated corn crop of the United States is about two million bushels more than that of last year and still the price holds up. It seems that the time has come when supply and demand no longer controls the current of trade—especially in farm products. After spending several months va- - cation Mr. James G. Garner’s cook ^ has returned and resumed her duties. It was reported that she had married again but she says it is a false re port. Miss Willie Waters, of Armenia, Chester county, came up week before last to attend the Blackwell-Farr wed ding. She spent a few days here be fore returning home yesterday. People in this community put in a few days last week hauling wood pre paring for a cold spell of weather. Some more weddings are booked to come off before long. A runaway match came off south of Pacolet last Wednesday, in which the participapts were both from Cherokee county. They failed to find an officer to offi ciate and returned home again. We withhold the names and save our scalp for the present at least. Last month—November—Sam J. Strain, carrier on R. F. D. No. 1 from Wilkinsville, handled nearly 4,200 pieces of mail matter on his route. The chaingang is working out thd road to the new bridge on Gilkey creek at the Hoey ford. This is a, much needed convenience to the traveling public in this community. Will some Bible reader tell us what prophet’s wife was unfaithful to him and what her name was? As soon as the ground dries off a little wheat sowing will be resumed and we hope farmers will put in a good crop of it. We are glad to see. so many of the State papers advertising Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp’s candidacy for clerk of the State senate. This will be a nice job for “The Old Man” who will leave the management of The Ledger in good hands during his absence in case he is elected, which we trust he will be All the public roads in York county over which we have traveled lately have bridges when they cross streams of any size. How much corn must we take to mill in order to get five bushels of meal, allowing one-tenth of it to go for toll and waste? In very many cases welock is a « game of chance—in which one or the other (if not both) is disappointed. This always has been so more or less and we suppose it will continue till the end of time. It’s what gives rise to the plea for a divorce law. Even Job’s life must have been made miserable by his connubial re lationship with a high-strung brain less wife; ’such as many men have <4 vat this day,and time though they may not be able to see or willing to con fess it. It must have tested the patience and integrity of the venerable man of Uz to live with such a woman. If the truth was known she was one of the kind who wore the breeches—-one who controlled his affairs and was wonted to dictate to him the manner in which he was to worship his God. We pity the man who takes to wife a woman whose nervous system is nothing but a plexus of live wires. We don’t want any such in our’n. But, "Sis,” we are not talking about you. It’s that other woman you know so well; and “Bud,”* it’s not your wife hut that other fellow’s to which we allude—your wife is all right, of course, if you only think so. Historians and encyclopedists would have us believe this (December 7th) Is the ninety-third anniversary of the execution of Marshall Ney who they claim was shot for treason after be ing tried before the Chamber of Peers. But we have good reasons to doubt their statement. We have an account of his escape and coming to this country when our American peo ple, on account of the loyalty of France to the colonies which enabled them to gain their independence, took him and cared for him until his life ended in obscurity. The history is too long to repeat here. Marshall Ney commanded "The Old Guard” at the battle of Waterloo where he had several horses killed under him. He commanded the cen tre of -the French army at the battle of Borodino and also directed the re treat of the rear guard from Russia. Americans are not ingrates. «. Last Wednesday (December 2nd) was the 49th anniversary of the exe cution of John Brown of Harper’s ferry notoriety, of which all oUr child ren of school age should be familiar. We don’t want any of our brother or sister correspondents to think of discontinuing their letters to The Ledger. We enjoy each of them so much. Let them come on. The editor will make room for them and they will be enjoyed by the readers as heretofore. By some mishap we got our manu script mixed up last Friday and our readers will please excuse any oddity that appears in the letter of that date. When we undertake to write for the press we imagine several hundreds (or perhaps thousands) of people with whom we are in conversation—many of whom are much better posted on current affairs, history, etc., than we are—a large per cent of whom are critics of the most exacting kind, yet we go on in our way leaving each to form his or her own opinion. We take it for granted that many (if not all) of them have read books and will call us down when we are in error. This is a kindness we very much ap preciate. Conversation becomes very mono tonous and uninteresting when con fined only to one simple line of neigh borhood gossip unless thtv- x subject matter is one of peculiar interest. A half hour’s talk with a person whose knowledge don’t extend beyond the limits of his own neighborhood be comes very dull—it’s mostly made up of the shortcomings of people whom we would much rather learn to love and respect. We too often note the faults of people instead of trying to strengthen the better side of their natures by proper encourage ment to higher and better lives. A little tract containing words of encouragement to a little boy gave to the world a Richard Baxter and some of the best books ever published out side of the Bible. There are boys and girls too, in our land who only want an opportunity to make some thing of themselves, and it’s our duty to hunt for and help them all we can. There is an Arabic proverb which runs something like this: There are four kinds of men. (1). He who knows not, and knows not he knows not; he is a fool; shun him. (2). He who knows not and knows he knows not; he is simple; teach him. (3). He who knows, and knows not he knows, he is asleep; wake him. (4). He who knows, and knows he knows, he is wise; follow him.

Miss Della Rhyne leaves Saturday for Rock Hill where she will attend the meeting of the executive com Why the Quarantine of Tick Infested Farms is Necessary. In the twelve northwestern coun ties of this State which are now pro tected from tick infested areas of this and other States by State and Feder al regulations, cattle inspectors have been at work since July 1st, making a farm to farm canvass and examin ing cattle. These men have placed in quarantine all tick infested pre mises, in order to prevent the spread of the cattle tick which causes Texas or tick fever. While a few infested farms in these counties may have been overlooked, the majority of tick infested premises have befen located and the cattle quarantined. This quarantine of infested cattle causes spine inconvenience to the cat tle owners, but it is absolutely neces sary for these premises to be quaran tined if they are to be freed from ticks and these counties released from the Federal restrictions which now pre vent the growth of our live stock in dustry. Unless this quarantine were established and enforced, it would be impossible to eradicate the ticks, and remove the Federal regulation, as movement of tick infested cattle would spread infestation to free farms, and cause not only an enlarged infested area, but also serious loss among the cattle within this district. In placing these cattle in quaran tine, State authorities endeavor to cause cattle owners as little Incon venience as possible, but the enforce ment of the quarantine is absolutely necessary, and therefore quarantined cattle can only be moved after they have been examined and found free from ticks by an authorized inspect or, and a written permit given for their release. Inspectors are station ed in each county, and should an owner of quarantined cattle desire to move or dispose of any of thqse ani mals, he can apply to that inspector and obtain necessary permit, provid ed his cattle are free from ticks. Cat tle owners will find the State authori ties willing and ready to grant every request as long as this can be done without danger of spreading ticks to tick-free farms. These officers de sire to encourage the breeding of cat tle, and are enforcing this law with i that purpose in view. Therefore, the assistance of all citizens is expected, j If any person desires information concerning tick eradication work or l*any other phase of stock raising, he jean obtain assistance and advice by : addressing State Veterinarian at i f’lemson College. ; M.

Recent Happenings In and Around the City and Other Events Gath ered by the Local News Editor. Don’t forget the measuring party at Mrs. W. C. Hamrick’s tonight. Cotton brought 8 3-4 on the local market yesterday. A few bales were sold. Mr. Lawrence Potter will move in to the handsome residence heretofore occupied by the superintendent of the Gaffney Manufacturing Comp: about January 1st. The many friends of Mr. Buice, late superintendent of the Gaffney Manu facturing Company cotton mills, are pleased to learn that he will continue to live in Gaffney. Mr. Junius Sparks, of Star Farm, brought to the city yesterday a mam moth turnip of the Red Top variety. It weighed four pounds. That’s a pretty fair specimen of a turnip. Next Monday night Miss Dew antt Miss Churchill will render a program of select music at Limestone College. Miss Higley will not be able to sing because of a throat trouble. A cordial invitation is extended the public to attend this concert. Among the Gaffneyites to attend the D. O. K. K. meeting at Spartan burg Tuesday night were: Fletcher Smith, Roy Osborne, Gibbs Pridmore, Geo. Jefferies, Rev. S. B. Harper, J. B. Boli, Arthur Kendrick, Charley Aus tell and A. Creed Moore. They re port a royal good time. Mr. Charley Mabry, of Gowdeys- ville, left this week for Chickasaw county, Miss., where he expects to make his future home. Mr. Mabry is an industrious and worthy young man with many friends here who re gret to have him leave but who wish for him success in his new home. Such expressions as these were heard among some Cherokee farmers in the city the other day: “Cotton is worth so and so, and it takes mighty good stuff to bring it.” “We are all going to ruin, that’s what!” “They won’t get me to bring in much more unless things change,” etc. And there were some others of a like na ture. The price of cotton was under nine cents that day. Many store windows and show cases in Gaffney are now gay with Christmas goods of every description; and the interiors of some of the stores present an appearance and af ford an inspiration to the Juvenile heart equal to a glimpse of Toyland itself. The grown-ups have not been forgotten* either, and in some of the places of business there are hand some and useful things to suit almost every taste and pocketbook. Rev. L. L. Thomas, who has been pastor of Dunton’s Chapel for. the past two years, has been transferred to Easley, S, C. He left yesterday morning for his new char^fe.. Rev. Thomas has conducted himself while living in Gaffney in such manner as to win the confidence and esteem of all our people, both white and black. We had very pleasant Business relat ions with him and always found him honest, trustworthy and prompt. Dr. A. C. Cree Closes His Pastorate in Nashville, Tenn. The following news item from the Nashville Banner, Nashville, Tenn., of November 28th, will be of interest to Gaffney people generally, and to many in the county who are acquaint ed with Mr. Cree. It should have ap peared in last Friday’s issue of The Ledger, but was misplaced and over looked till too late for that edition: “Tomorrow Dr. Arch Cree will close his work as pastor of the Edgefield Baptist church. There will be three hearts of Nashville people and his many friends would be sorry to see him leave the city, but it is rumored that he may remain in Nashville. He has recently declined a flattering call to the La Belle Place Baptist church of Memphis, one of the most aggres sive churches of that city. He has several matters under consideration and will not decide anything definite ly until the last of the year. He leaves next week for Cincinnati and other points where he has engage ments to preach and lecture during the early part of December.” CUPID’S WORK. services.

He has exerted a wide influence for good throughout the city in many and varied ways. Few men in the city have the wide personal acquaintance with business men he has, and few men are more beloved and honored. The bride wore a beautiful gown of white silk with suitable trimmings, and carried in her hand a bouquet of white flowers tied with white ribbon.

If the food is not churned, it lays heavily on your stomach, turns sour, and causes <all kinds of distressing symptoms, such as headache, coated tongue, constipation, etc. And so, as every physician will tell you, the way to cure dyspepsia is to fix the churn, or in other words, build up the stomach so that It will properly mix the food. If you have dyspepsia and want to get rid of it before it gets rid of you, go to The Gaffney Drug Co. and get a large box of Mo-o-na tablets. The cost is only 50 cents, and every read er of The Ledger is welcome to his or her money back if Ml-o-na does not cure.
