C^ TUESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1908. •IJO A < WAR AGAINST THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. BETTER ELEMENT CALLING A HALT IN CRIME. Law Regarding Sale and Buying of Illicit Whisky—Personal and Local Items. Wilkinsville, Dec. 11.—If it were not for the crime, destitution and suf fering engendered by the liquor traf fic there would be no such a holy war waged against it. The better element of people of all classes, colors and conditions of mankind are calling a halt. Never has public sentiment been so thoroughly aroused as it is today, and we may expect it to be intensified until its object is accomp lished. Cherokee was the first county in the State to make this move and while others have fallen into line we ' expect to see it "lead the van” till the ^ end of the fight. That there will be a lively fight in the next legislature between State wide prohibition and local option there is no reason to doubt. Leading men are divided in their opinions as to which will be the proper and the most efficient of the two. The enforcement of the law in either case will depend upon the juries which try the cases—this is where the tro'uble ha! lain all the time. There is an amendment to the law we have advocated i e—making the buyer a party to the crime with the seller. If there were no buyers there would be no sellers. Many a man will buy liquor from a "blind tiger" who would under no circumstances sell it yet he will squirm, twist and even prevaricate when he is called upon to testify in the case so as to make what he tells totally unworthy of belief by a court. It’s a legal max im that "He who aids in the commis sion ofa crime is guilty of theft- bote.” If such were made to understand that he would be prosecuted he would let the blind tiger pass. Others there * are who don’t care. There is another thing: The man who allows his name to be used as a consignee through which a profes sional gets his liquor for even per sonal or illegal use ought to be held as a party connected with whatever crime it leads up to. This is the string by which the "blind tiger” kite is often nfinaged successfully in many places. If a man wants liquor let him or der it in his own name and if it ap- \ pears on the face of his orders that \he is using too much of the "creeter” a prima facie case could be made out against him. There are so many technicalities and dodging places in the law that many an offender escapes the penal ties to which he is subjected. 'Juries fail to see or do their duties often times. No one is better than the company he keeps unless he is trying to improve it. If those who claim to be doing "personal” work for the bet terment of mankind—the heathen for instance—would change the orthogra phy a little and make it "purse-and- all” they would do more and better work in less time. Messrs. Goforth, Owens and Lee are running their gin this week in this neighborhood. The low price of cotton is not creating much excitement or com plaint among farmers who have It on hand. “What can’t be cured must be endured.” Truth is the mother of justice; it fears nothing but concealment. Last Wednesday our people killed hogs. While this supply of horns comforts is not so large as we would like to have it, it is a great "help-out” in the way of living. The road to the new bridge on Gll- ky creek has been opened and put in fairly good order, and the traveling public are now using it. Mr. Sam J. Strain has recently numbered the boxes on his mail route. He has 100 in all. For the last few days we have had i veritable winter weather and cutting and hauling wood and making fires is the principal work many people are doing. Esquire J. It. Poole and family moved to Jonesville this week. Mr. W. C. Blackwell has rented his place for next year, and is moving there now. Miss Willie Waters, of Armenia, ^/^Chester county, who has been spend- ing a few days with friends a|d rel atives in this section, returned to her home last Monday. She went via Yorkville where she will stop over for a few days with friends. We are glad to see that old-folks singings are coming into fashion. Get these old time singers together with some of the old books and tunes and the music has more devotion in it than we find In most of the new hooks. The North Pacolet Interdenomina tional Sunday School Convention is expected to meet at Abingdon Creek , church on the 27th inst. The program ' will be published next week. We had a good rest last night in so far as disturbance by the rats is con cerned. Mrs. Carrie Inman came to onr rescue by furnishing us a cat which kept the rodents quiet by an exhibition of its feline activity and sagacity. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Jones, Of Hickory Grove, lost their infant child this week. It was only four days old. It was buried at Salem last Wednes day. We sympathize with them. Mesdames "J. L. S.” and Stun J. Strain are spending today with Mes dames C. W. and Boyce Whisnant, at Wilkinsville, and your correspondent is keeping “batch. Mr. J. H. Fowler has our thanks for a sample of his "Nancy Hall” po tatoes. They are specially fine both in taste and size. Mr. Fowler is one of Cherokee county’s best and most progressive farmers and citizens. Rev. T. B. Owens is a regular ma- chinest. The engine and gin got to "bucking” yesterday and no one could do anything with it until he came and gave it an examination and put it to work again. Both are doing finely now. Success to our readers and a merry Christmas to all. J. L. S. A Review of Events by Our Regular Correspondent. Filbert, R. 1, Dec. 10.—Today is Wednesday. The weather is very cold, although the sky is cloudless and the wind does not blow. The sun shines brightly; and I can hear the sound of the wood choppers’ axes, in the woods near my abode. This morning the earth was “covered o’er” with a mantle of frost; but the warm rays of the sun soon reduced the frost to vapor. All nature is calm and peaceful around here today. And what seems better, I am at peace with myself—and everybody else. Just now I saw two bird hunters pass by; on their way somewhere, I sup pose, to shoot birds. I do not claim to be a superior being; but I cannot help feeling a little sad, sometimes, when I think of the birds, rabbits, squirrels and opossums. I do not be lieve that there are many people who ever take time to think over things just in the way that they should. For a little while I was alone in the house this morning, save for the com panionship of a good warm fire, my books and papers, and my autoharp. I sat at my table, writing busily. So absorbed in my work was I that I was tak ng no note of time, until I was suddenly aroused by some one’s knocking on the door. On bidding the knocker to "come in,” I was a little surprised, to see one whom I have not had the pleasure of seeing for sometime. But if company does come in, occasionally, these days, my work must go on. So I am soon at my writing again. I love to see my friends coming in just as often as they can, although I have not as much time now to devote to them as I used to have. Being a poor boy. I’ve been compelled to devote a great portion of my time and energies to something which I hope will one day make living easier for me. I sit thinking today. I remember all of my sorrows and joys, and trials and failures, my surprises and disap pointments, and my faults and fail ings. I remember it all; and as mem ory takes me back over the weary months and years of hard study and fruitless endeavor, I almost despair. As memories crowd thick and fast up on me I find my eyes becoming a lit tle misty, and I seem like one in a sort of day dream. But I never quite despair. I have been writing for the papers for several years. I began with buoyant hopes, but I have long since come to know several things now that I “didn’t used to know.” I am, however, rather proud of my begin ning in journalism. I have labored davotcdly, this year, to do something; m!d while I cannot see much that I have done, still I cannot feel that I’ve lived altogether in vain. Althougn I’ve not accomplished much, it has not been because I have not tried. I’m unable to perform manual la bor, as I’m a weakling so far as bodily strength is concerned. And so I’ve long desired to become an au thor. I love reading with a passion ate devotion. I sometimes compare my life with that of Charles Dickens, only bis was harder than mine has ever been. I remember all that/I’ve writjqa.ff*' The Ledger during the past year, and I sigh to think of my feeble attempts at writing. It does seem as if I might have done better, in view of all the llattcry that I’ve received. But if I have not written anything of especial worth; still I have, I trust, written nothing likely to injure my reputation as a “knight of the pen.” Sometime last year, a person asked mo to "write for The Ledger,” and as I had nothing to do Just then I com plied with her request. And I truly believe it was the “best step that I’ve ever taken.” Everything that I’ve sent to it has been published—and I can’t say this of the other papers for which I used to write. But I am not piqued when I say this; for I recog nize the editor’s right to use the blue pencil, at least occasionally. Thursday morning. I now take up my pen again; for I must finish this epistle ere the R F. D. man arrives. I didn’t Intend to write just such a letter as this will be when completed; but I had so much to say that I couldn’t well do otherwise this time, I thought. So I hope the "printer men” will excuse it all. I know that Mr. Darby can manage my copy all right. I am quite well now; but for several days past I’ve not been so well. The recent sudden change In the weather so benumbed my faithful left hand that I could scarcely write; and to make it worse, I have had the toothache, my old-time companion. But my affairs are “swimming beau tifully” once more. And as Christmas "draweth near,” I’m feeling happy. Although I’m not at all worthy of all the little kindnesses and flatteries that I receive, I know there are those who will remember me Christmas. My writing business has grown so large that I’ve been obliged to see about having a writing desk made, as mr little table has come to be too lit tle. And so I have, accordingly, sent for the lumber today. If nothing hap pens, it’ll be ready for service ere long. I intend to do much writing next year. But just now I feel in need of a rest, therefore, I hope the editor will be so good as to excuse me until after the holidays. If this is fit for publication, I trust he can find space for it; and I’ll turn up bright and early New Year’s morning. Next year I intend to manage a de partment for The Ledger, in addition to my regular correspondence. I wish each and every one of our readers a merry Christmas and hap py New Year. I know we can make it all pleasant for one another if we will. I’ve remembered all of my mis takes, which I made this year and before; so I’m going to do better in every way next year. I am full of hope for the future. I feel that there is much in life for me. Your devoted friend and correspond ent. Ben Hope. Feeding Value of Cotton Seed. (“The Planter,” New Orleans, La.) We have received the very practi cal inquiry: Which is the most profit able to a farmer, to feed his cotton seed, which he can sell for $12 per ton, to his cows, and save the manure, or sell his seed for $12 a ton and pay $32 per ton for meal and $10 per ton for hulls for feed and save the ma nure. A ton of cotton seed Is estimated to yield the following quantity of pro ducts: Meal 750 pounds OH 250 pounds Hulls 978 pounds Linters 22 pounds If the meal sells for $32 per ton, and the hulls for $10, and we assume the oil to have a value of $25 a ton for feeding purposes, the feeding value of a ton of cotton seed should be as follows: 750 pounds of meal at $32 per ton equals $12.00 1,000 pounds of hulls at $10 per ton equals 5 oq 250 pounds of oil at $25 per ton equals 375 THE LATEST NEWS FHOM BLACKSBURG DOINGS OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR SISTER CITY. $20.75 There is always some loss on ac count of dirt and trash in the seed, so that the products would not be quite as much as stated above. On the other hand, the oil is worth four or five cents a pound to the mill. We should judge from the above that the feeding value of cotton seed should be two-thirds of the value of the cot ton seed meal. This is also approx imately its value as found in feeding experiments. The Mississippi Experi ment Station found that cotton seed meal has about the value of corn. Cotton seed is a different kind of feed from cotton seed meal, as the cotton seed is much richer in oil than ™ eaI ’ T ancJ th e meal contains more protein, in some experiments it has been found profitable to feed meal along with seed. G. S. Fraps. Death of An Infant. On last Thursday little Vada, the eighteen-months-old daughter of Mr Mrs. T W. Williams, who live near Limestone, passed away after a few days’ illness. She was just at that age where children begin to be interesting, and was, therefore, the pride of her parents and the light of the home which she made bright and ^ n p Py "“h her childish "prattle and * 4 But t ^ e Gr m Rea P er makes no distinction between youth and old age but cuts down the young and ten der plant as ruthlessly as the full blown and mature flower.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams have the sympathy of the entire community in the loss of their little one. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Recent Happenings In and Around the City. Cotton brought 8.65 on the local market yesterday. Large crowds attended the land sale yesterday. Business was about the best Satur- day that the merchants have had this fall. Mr. T. I*. Goforth, who lives at Limestone Mills, killed a hog last Thursday which weighed 540 pounds gross, it was but twelve months old. This beats buying pressed meat at the present price. The measuring party at Mrs. W. C. Hamrick’s last Friday night was a great success, but on account of the Inclement weather the crowd and re ceipts were not as large as they might have been. Every one present had a delightful time and thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of the hostess. THE BAZAAR. Today in Storeroom Two Doora Above Ledger Office. The alumnae bazaar, which has al ready been announced for today, will be held in the vacant storeroom next door to Holmes A Jones’ store on Limestone street, two doors above The Ledger office, instead of in the Spake building. Besides the numerous articles for sale and the sumptuous hot dinner which will be served, beginning at 11:30 a. Tn., the managers of the ba zaar have also engaged an expert fortune teller for the occasion, who will make a specialty of palmistry and whose services may -be had from three to five o’clock in the afternoon. This promises to be a very interest ing event, and everybody, big and lit tle, old and yoong, has a pressing in vitation to visit the bazaar and enjov himself as best suits his Inclinations and desires.

When a man finds but a lone nickel in his pocket for car fare down town In the morning, It's a sign that his wile Is Interested in frenzied finance. To C. C. A O. Company With $30,000- 000 Capital Stock. The following news item from the Columbia State of a recent date will be read with interest by many people in Gaffney and Cherokee county: "Application for a charter by the Carolina, Clinchfleld & Ohio road has been made to the secretary of State. This is the line running from the coal fields of Virginia to some point in South Carolina presumably Charles ton, but in the application for incor poration the route is not stated. It is stated, however, that Spartanburg is included in the route. "The capital stock is placed at $30,- 000,000 and the application is signed by Wm. H. Lyles, of this city, George L. Carter, of Johnson City, Tenn., A. A. Phlegan, of Bristol Tenn. The charter also states that the line is chartered in Virginia, the application here being to domesticate the line. According to present plans Spartan burg will be a terminal and another terminal is a point near Island Ford ferry. Of the line 108 miles have al ready been constructed and the total length is 244 miles. The plans so far call for at least 20 miles in South Carolina. The head office is in St. Paul, Va., and the line at present begins in Russel county, that State. The fee for the charter filed with the secre tary of State is at least $3,000. "This application for this charter is of considerable importance to the en tire State. It is known almost offi cially that the C. C. & O. line has as a terminal plans for the port of Charleston, pi-ovided arrangements can be made with the city. The re cent banquet in Spartanburg at which railroad officials connected with that and other lines were present attract ed attention all over the State and sine then it has been rgarded as a certainty that Columbia will be one of the important, feeding points on the line and in fact it is beliov^ 1 b 0 ' headquarters foi' some of the officials will be established here. "The railroad officials connected with the line are naturally reticent about their plans but those who keep posted on railroad matters know that the line will eventually go through this city and continue to the coast. “When a domestic charter is ap plied for the line of route will be given. .. , The following from The Sentinel of Erwhi, Tenn., concerning the estab lishment of the shops, will be of in- tGFCStt “We do not wish to take a too op timistic view of the future pos sibilities of Erwin following the lo cation of the general shops, i'ards, and division headquarters of thtf Caro lina, Clinchfleld & Ohio railway at this place, but without a taint of ex aggeration, we feel safe in the pre diction that the growth and pros perity of our cityfollowing close up on the heels of the above enterprise will be wonderful in comparison to what it otherwise might have been. New enterprises will likely spring up on every hand. Various mills and factories will soon realize the advan tages of our town for the location of their enterprises, and with the prom ised phenomenal growth in our popu lation will come the growth in manu facturing and commercial enterprises as well as all other business. No town in Tennessee, nor In the entire South for that matter, affords a more favorable point for the location of various manufacturing and commer cial enterprises than docs the town of Erwin on the line of the Carolina, Clinchfleld & Ohio railway.” Fell in a Well. Van Wyck, Doc. 10.—Little Grace Pinson, the eight-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Moses Pinson, section master heren, while drawing a bucket of water, was jerked into the well. Her mother hearing the bucket the child carried fall to the floor, ran as quickly as possible to the well, calling for help. The child was calling for her when she reached the well and the bucket being in the well her mother told the child to catch the chain and hold tight and she would draw her up. Mrs. Pinson had her some feet from the water when two colored men who were the first to reach the well after Mrs. Pinson, reached down and grasped the child’s arils. There were only two slight bruises on her. She was undressed and in dry clothes in five minutes from the time she first fell in the well. The well Is about thirty-five feet deep and the water eighteen feet. Given at Limestone College Saturday Evening. An excellent program was rendered ' Saturday evening in the auditorium I at Limestone College by the advanced 1 pupils of Director Henry Foote Per* ; rin, before a select audience, of the l lovers of classical music and society : people in general of Limestone and | Gaffney. The program included num- ! bers from Mozart, Schumann, Nevln, [ Mascagni, Liszt, Scharwenka, Chopin ! and S. B. Miller, which were played ' by the following talented young lar I dies: Misses Lodge, Willingham, 1 Cole, Huggins, Alexander, White, ! Kendrick, Johnstone, Carpenter and Arnold. Several of the pupils were ‘ accompanied by Director Perrin on j the pipe organ. The Schumann No velette was rendered with so much feeling and expression that the audi- dience was completely charmed, and remained as though spell-bound fora moment after the last tone died away. Miss Johnstone’s numbers were played with religious feeling and the close of each with brilliant technic. Miss Car penter’s “Echo of a Parisian Ball” held the close attention of the audience, and was well received. Miss Ken drick gave an accurate interpretation of the famous “A Flat Waltz” by Clfopin and the rendition was artistic and beautiful. The applause that fol lowed voiced the appreciation of the large audience present. Some of the critics say Director Perrin’s pupils play with a musical tone fully expressing the ideas of the I composer. Great care is given to the 1 pedals, phrasing, &c., and “piano pounding” is not allowed by him. Several of Miss Farr’s pupils added much to the success of the evening. Miss Farr is a teacher of great pro mise. She is master of the art of expression, and she never fails to i captivate her hearers. The verdict : is that she is one of the best readers in the State. Director Perrin’s organ recital will | take place Thursday evening, Jan. j 16th, 1909. Miss Higley will sing. Miss Farr will give some popular readings and Miss Dew will be accom panist at this recital. The J. Eb Jefferies Land Sale. The J. Eb Jefferies auction sale of residence lots took place on the ground yesterday. Auctioneer Get- singer was in a happy mood and bid ding was spirited from the beginning. There were about three hundred peo ple on the ground, and some of the property brought exceedingly good prices while some went at almost a song. Altogether the sale was quite a success. Mr. Jefferies showed the people a thing or two in the way of advertising this sale, and the results clearly demonstrated the fact that advertising pays. The sale was still in progress as we go to press, thus ob viating the possibility of giving a list of the purchasers. This we will do Friday. Letter to Santa Claus. Rome, Ga.
