the Gaffney market yesterday.
The Daniel Morgan Chapter of the
D. A. R. will meet Wednesday, Jan
uary 13th, at 3 o’clock, at the resi
dence of Mrs. H. L. Spears.
The postofflee receipts are steadily
increasing, and if the same rafcio
continues until July 1st Gaffney will
be in a fair way to secure free de
livery.
There are rumors of several new
enterprises to be established in Gaff
ney soon, attracted here by the
cheapness of electric power as com
pared with steam. ,
“The Old Man” went “poking" off
to the Ninety-nine Islands yesterday
with a lot of local matter in his pock
et which could have been very hand
ily used in this issue of the paper.
Mr. Lawrence G. Potter, the effi
cient secretary of the Gaffney Manu
facturing Co., has moved into the
superintendent’s house near the Gaff
ney Mills, where he will be much
closer to his work.
The cold wave which was sched
uled to arrive Wednesday morning,
came along that night twelve hours
late. Evidently it traveled by way
of the Southern’s Southeastern Ves
tibule Limited.
Mayor Ross had two colored wo
men before him yesterday morning,
both charged with disorderly con
duct. He “gave” one ten dollars or
thiity days, and dismissed the case
against the other one.
The many friends of Mr. Ralph
Gaston will regret to learn of his re
signation as ticket agent at the
Southern depot. Mr. Gaston expects
to leave for Cuba in a few days where
he will join his brother, who is in
the army.
Lewis Waters, a colored sport
from Inman, was before Mayor Ross
Wednesday on the charge of ap
propriating a pi&ol, the property of
“Billy” Blanton, to his personal use.
He got thirty days, and is now serv
ing time.
We are sorry to learn that num
bers of people who killed hogs this
season have lost their meat owing
to the warm weather; some of the
people who have killed very large
hogs, however, have Informed us
that the meat is all right.
The Ledger man was astonished
yesterday when he was Informed by
one of our leading druggists that his
concern alone spent seventy-five dol
lars per months for coca-cola. This
means something like $3,000 per
year which the dealers in Gaffney
pay out for this delicious drink.
Chief W. W. Orr, of the Charlotte
Fire Department, spent a few hours
in the city Wednesday. Chief Orr
came down to inspect our fire appa
ratus. He pronounced it as being
too advanced for our needs, saying
that it was one of the most up-to-
date machines in the country, fit for
a city of 50,000 population.
A. M. Whitesides, of York county,
was on the streets of Gaffney Wed
nesday exhibiting a unique attach
ment by which a horse may be In
stantly released from a buggy by
pulling a string, although going at
full speed. In addition to the release
attachment another novel feature Is,
that no traces are used, the harness
being fastened to the shafts of the
vehicle in such a manner as to dis
pense with the use of traces.
Messrs. Clary & Kirby, the local
market men, are hustlers indeed.
They are going to open a branch
market at Ninety-Nine Islands. Mr.
Ben Clary will have charge of this
branch. Just as soon as Barney
Clary learned that the contract for
the dam had been let to Mr; Hard
away he went to Georgia, where that
gentleman lives, and made arrange
ments to open this branch market.
Barney does not wait for business,
but goes after it. Gaffney needs a
few more hustlers like Clary & Kirby.
Service-Curry.
Mr. J. R. Service and Miss Irene
Curry stole a march on their friends
and acquaintances on the last day of
the old year by driving out the resi
dence of Rev. A. D. Davidson, where
they were united In the bonds of
matrimony.
“Bub,” as he Is called by his friends,
is one of the most efficient and pop
ular members of our splendid police
force, while the bride is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Curry, and Is a
very attractive and lovable young
woman.
Their large circle of friends wish
them much happiness along the Jour
ney of life, and the Ledger force, one
and all, wish for them much pros
perity.
A Horrible Hold-Up.
“About ten years ago my brother
was “held up” in his work, health
and happiness by what was believed
to be hopeless Consumption,” writes
W. R. Lipscomb, of Washington, N.
C. “He took all kinds of remedies
and treatment from several doctors,
but found no help till he used Dr.
King’s New Discovery and was whol
ly cured by six bottles. He Is a well
man today.” It’s quick to relieve
and the surest cure for weak or sore
lungs, Hemorrhages, Coughs and
Colds, Bronchitis, La Grippe, Asthma
and all Bronclal affection*. 50c and

THE BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
It Was Well Attended and Much In
terest Was Manifested.
One of the most enthusiastic and
Interesting meetings In the history
of Gaffney’s Board of Trade was that
held at the city hall Tuesday eve
ning. There was hardly a dull mo
ment from the time President Ham
rick called the meeting to order un
til the adjournment. Secretary J. C.
Otts stated the object of the meet
ing, which was to discuss sewerage,
the C., C. & O. R. R., the advisability
of requesting the Southern Railway
to make Gaffney a regular stop for
No. 37, and other matters of Interest
to the town.
E. H. DeCamp reported $40.10 left
on hand from the fund to entertain
the Press Association and moved
that it be turned over to the treasur
er of the Board of Trade, which was
carried.
Mr. J. A. Carroll was made chair
man of the sewerage committee with
power to select his own lieutenants.
Mr. J. N. Lipscomb, speaking for the
Board of Public Works, said the
election would be ordered as soon as
the legislature ratified the action of
the electorate. Every man present
expressed himself as in favor of
sewerage and pledged his personal
support to the movement. There
can be no question but that the estab
lishment of sewerage will be a great
and good thing for Gaffney.
Messrs. E. H. DeCamp, Nathan
Littlejohn and L. Baker, were ap
pointed a committee to get up the
matter for a little folder advertising
Gaffney. The committee has already
gone to work on the folder.
Resolutions were passed asking
the Southern to make Gaffney a re
gular stop for No. 37. Alw resolut
ions tending to the Improvement of
certain county roads.
Ways and means to attract busi
ness from Ninety-Nine Islands were
also discussed. It was the consen
sus of opinion if Gaffney wanted any
of this business It would be proper
for those business houses that
wanted it to go after it, and not wait
for the business to come to Gaffney
voluntarily. In other words let those
people understand we are glad to
have them among us and that we
want to do business with them.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
In my various kinds of troubles I decided to sell out my entire stock of
goods and property, and leave Gaffney. I have had several offers to
buy, but since so many ot my kind friends have advised me not to
leave, I have fully decided that if I do not sell before January loth, I
will not sell at all, and have set up my resolution’ to do more business
and better business this New Year than I have in the past. So if I do
not sell, all my many friends are invited to call on me as usual for any
favor I can extend to them.
