CHEROKEE-Gafney Ledger, Sep
tember Is: Colonel Thomas B. Butler
has been rendered by United States
Judge Brawley, and has accepted the
position of referee in bankruptcy for
Cherokee county. This is good po-
sition and compliment to MIR. Buffers
integrity and ability, there being only
one such appointment for each county.
MIR. N. w. Hardin, of Blacksburg,
was in the city several days last week
in attendance upon court. He takes
his defeat for senatorship gracefully
and does not seem the least bit hurt
that he did not prove the choice of the
voters of Cherokee for that honorable
position. In the course of a conver-
sation with representative of The
Ledger, he took occasion to say that
he approved of the reply of the coun-
ty chairman to &C. E. b." of White
Hill, and that so far as be was con-
cerned, that he entertained no animos-
ity toward any one-not even his
opponents. ...'.''.'The election Tuesday
passed off as quietly as the one two
weeks ago. There was little or no
excitement. For county offices the
result was as follows: For the state
senate, Sarratt wins over Butler. For
sheriff, Thomas triumphs over Ross.
