We need no drones on the scene of

Newsy Notes and Personals From Our
Regular Correspondent.
Ravenna, Feb. 6.—As our last let
ter was delayed in its publication we
thought we would give our readers a
little rest. We are better settled now
and writing for The Ledger comes
quite natural again. Your correspond
ent expects to write just as oppor
tunity affords whether it be for Tues
day’s or Friday’s issue, and especi
ally as news serves me.
We visited relatives at Asbury last
Thursday and yesterday evening. We
visited the Rehoboth school and heard
some good speeches by some of the
scholars of that school. One good
speech was made by Irene Kirby, and
by the way, she is the daughter of
our gifted correspondent, “Annie
Laurie,” who writes so interestingly
from Grindall. Yes, “Annie Laurie,”
I, for one, missed your letters while
yjou were away.
Capt. J. B. Brown was a visitor to
Jonesville last Thursday.
Earle Brown, of Jonesville, is visit
ing his aunt, Miss Sallie Chalk.
Capt. J. B. Brown and son, Wilkes,
were Gaffney visitors last Monday.
What is the matter with our friend,
“Cx,” of Thickety? He seems to have
his mind too much on the girls, but
we can’t fall out with him for that.
Mr. Cameron Littlejohn, our effl
cient rural carrier on route No. 1,
Pacolet, was in conversation with your
correspondent yesterday and was
speaking of the good roads on his
route, but we are afraid the rain of
last night and this morning will cause
them to again be rough.
Mill No. 3 at Pacolet which has
been idle since last August, started
up on full time last Monday morning.
All the operatives who have been idle
on half pay, have returned with high
spirits to their work and a happy
band are they.
Claude Burgess was in the Asbury
section last week.
J. M. Green, one of our prosperous
merchants, was a Pacolet visitor ves-
tion.
longer we pay a mud tax that cosfts
more than a good road tax.

Senator Otfts has introduced a bill pro
vlding for the submission of the ques
tion of State-wide prohibition to the
people at an election to be held on
the last Thursday in August. It is
very evident that the prohibition ad
vocates in the Senate are ncfc reason
ably certain that a State-wide prohi
bition bill would not pass that body,
hence this action on the part of Chero
kee’s Senator. It is Just as well. The
people will turn the trick if ever they
are given an opportunity.

We noticed in a recent issue of The
Ledger where the above was “on to
us” about the price of cotton.
Thank you, “A York County Farm
er,” for your rescue to our side of
thinking 121-2 cents a living price for
cotton. Your letter was very good
and am sorry “Ben Hope” left out
part of it.
If all the farmers could get twelve
and a hfrtf cents for all their Cotton
we think times would change for the
better.
Some of our young people are let
ting Cupid get in some good work just
now.
“Ben Hope" says he is one of the
advocates of 15 corns cotton. Will
you let us ask you one question: How
much cotton do you raise? If you
raised any this past season would you
have not been satisfied with 121-2
cents a pound for it?
We are an interesting reader of
“Ben Hope’s” letters and like his
writing fine. Your literary depart
ment is proving a grand success.
The Ledger’s report of the Jones
case now on trial„at Union, was very-
good.
If this.is not held back again, we
may appear in Friday’s issue.
Wishing The Ledger success'and
good luck to all its many readers.

THE ORGAN RECITAL.
Remarks from Dr. Lodge’s Address In
Chapel Friday Morning.
The benefit organ concert was given
in the auditorium at Limestone Col
lege Thursday evening. Of the event
Dr. Lodge president of the college, in
an address before the students Fri
day morning, said:
The recital of Thursday evening
by Director Henry Foote Perrin, gave
great pleasure to those that appreciate
music. I have spokeif at another time
of the artistic playing of Prof. Perrion.
We render unto Caesar what is due to
Caesar, and musicians of his ability,
should receive their Just due. The
price was too low for what we receiv
ed. The pogram was rendered wfth a
richness and variety of tone and
splendid technic, over-capped the
whole. This music was a medium to
express my feelings. I could say with
Browning—‘That was music.’ I can
always leave off talking, when I hear
a master play. This is the voice of
the appreciated audience, the alumni,
and the college. The beautiful and
magnificent music of Prof. Perrin.”

FILBERT FACTS.
Happenings of Note that Transpired
the Past Week.
Filbert, Feb. 4.—Miss Hattie Mc
Afee, our popular and efficient school
teacher, spent Thursday night at the
home of Mr. J. W. Bolin.
I sincerely hope that the linotype
operator donV have too much trouble
with my copy. I know that it is
sometimes “awful to behold.”
Somebody tells me this anecdote:
Once there lived—It doesn’t matter
where—a fellow, who Was too indol
ent to cut stove wood. And one day
he informed his better half that he
would go out to the stable, and get
the corn cobs—rather than cut stove
wood.
But he found that the poor beasv
had eaten the cobs with the corn. So
what do you suppose he did then?
Why, he “jes’ natchelly and de
cently whooped the boss.” That’s
what he did. And “hit hain’t never
eat no cobs sence”—according to his
own story of the affair.
Now, as my old friend, Mr. Wallace,
would say, “a fellow that would do
such a low-down, triflin’ thing had
ought to be whaled.” (In his quaint
way of talking, “whale” means “to
beat).
We are Just, emerging from another
inter i-ily cold spell. I feared that
my ini would freeze; it was so
severe. But it didn’t—and I’m glad.
Wanted, at once—A copy of the old
Yorkville New Era, containing the
short story, “Sila’s Christmas ’Pos
sum,”, by Ben Hope; and a copy of
The Gaffney Ledger, containing the
article, “What Life Means to Me,”
by the same writer. I also desire
copies of this paper for October the
second, December the eighteenth, and
January the twenty-second, last.
Won’t somebody please comply with
my request? I am very much in
earnest in this matter, and I espe
cially desire the first two papers
which I name. An., thing addressed
to Ben Hope will reach me.
As the editor is sometimes a little
cramped for space, I’ll make this let
ter short.
I have a rather severe cough at
this writing.
Miss Hattie McAfee spent Monday
night with us.
A fellow went to a party one night
recently. He said that he “Most
:’roze to death” coming back.
Durfng my whole life as a shut-in
people have all been wonderfully
tind to me. The little boys have
done much to make life pleasant for
me—and so have the girls. And in
my proposed book my friends shall
all have prominent places, if I live to
wrfce this book.
Master Louis, little son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. L. Caldwell, is very ill with
pneumonia. He was reported better
this morning.
Misses Hattie McAfee and Mattie
Belle Love spent Tuesday night at
Mr. J. B. McCarter’s.
"Little Bob” Whitesides, the well-
known fruit-tree man. called in to see
us for a few minutes this morning.
Mr. John Caldwell says that “the
Union fellows pay a man to tell them
what to do, and then they won’t do it.”
A certain man shot his gun so hard
the other night that it burtfced. Look
out, brother; you had a narrow es
cape. It was a breech-loading thing.
Will close for this time. Next week
my letter will be about as lengthy as
usual.
Wishing you continued success,
Mr. Editor, I remain.
Ben Hope.

It ain’t the failures he may meet
That keeps a man from winin’;
It’s the discouragement complete
That blocks a new beginnln’;
You want to quit your habits bad;
And when the shadows failin’
Make life seem worthless like an’ sad
You want to quit your quietin’.
You want to quit a-layin’ down,
An’ sayin’ hope is over
Because the fields are bare and brown
Where once we lived in clover.
When jolted from the, water cart
It’s painful to be hittln’
The earth; but make another start
Cheer up an’ quit your quittln’.
Although the game seems rather Stiff,
Don’t be a doleful doubter,
There’s always one more inning if
You’re not a down and outer.
But fortune's pretty sure to flee
From folks content with sittin’
Around an’ sayin’ life’s N. G.—
You’ve got to quit your quiltin’.

Another marriage of interest to

type, and very popular in her circle.
Mr. Davis, or “Charles,” as he is
familiarly known to Ills friends in
Gaffney and Cherokee county needs
no introduction, save to say that, he
is the same as of old, only broader-
minded and more experienced, and
with a sweeter and more patieift
spirit than of yore. He numbers his
friends by his acquaintances. He is
in Arkansas one of the most popular

By virtue of authority given me by power of at

at the corner of the National Bank, sell to the
highest bidder for cash, two lots known as the D.
F. Dover property, one mile south of Gaffney.
One lot contains about 1-4 of au acre, has a nice
fruit orchard and one three room house which
rents for $2.00 per month. This lot faces Spar
tanburg road and extends to the railroad. The
other contains about 1-2 au acre, and joins the
above described lot. This also has a nice orchard
and faces the Spartanburg road and extends back
to the railroad. Lots will make nice residence

This condition may not he apparent

Any stomach ailment, Including all
forms of Indigestion, can be promptly

,It stops^fermentation, belching of

The mighty power of Mi-o-na to in

Ml-o-na cures by building up—by

if is a great flesh builder, because it
