Review, August 10: Some of Ian
casters merchants have a custom of
dealing with petty thieves that is all
wrong. A party caught stealing from
store is made to pay sum of money
and then dismissed. 1t is true that
one prominent firm devotes all money
thus collected to charitable purposes,
for which it is to be commended, of
course but the exaction of a money
consideration under such circumstan-
ces, instead of turning the offender
over to the officers of the law, is not
right in principle. The practice is
contrary to law and detrimental to
public morals. The place for thieves
is on the chaingang. Paying money
for their devilment is no punishment
to them. m........Mr. ]. J. Copeland, who
has been spending a couple of weeks
at his old home in the Primus section,
passed through Lancaster Saturday on
his way to his distant home in Indian
Territory, where he has been living
for the past eight years. He was ac-
companied by his mother, the widow
of the late J. T. Copeland, who will
likely make her future home with her
son. IA protracted meeting is going
on at Fort Lawn this week. Rev. NJ.
B. Gordon is assisted by Rev. j. W.
Little. A similar meeting will start
at Ell Bethel the third Sunday in Au-
gust. ..Messrs. Willie J. Hindman
and Lonnie Hutchison are spending
the week in York county. They at
tended the Alliance campmeeting at
Tirzah the 4th and 5th. '''''''''A A rattle
snake in a box attracted considerable
attention on Main street yesterday.
1t is supposed to be part of Mayor
Floyd's menagerie. ..'...Wylie's Mill,
Landsford and Fort Lawn Democratic
clubs have selected Ell Bethel church
as the place to have the county cam
paign picnic on Saturday, August 1S,

CHEROKEE-Gafney Ledger, Au-
gust IL: Miss Mary Hart, popular
and accomplished young society lady
of Yorkville, spent several days in
the city this week visiting Miss Fannie
Jones, on Limestone street. ''''''"'Mrs.
James B. Bell and children, returned
Monday from Yorkville, where they
have been on an extended visit to rel
atives. .....'...A protracted meeting will
begin at Wilson's Chapel, Monday
night August 18TH, and continue until
and including the following Sunday.
Rev. S. T. Creech will conduct the
meeting. ....''.."Mr. John Pennington,
of Cherokee Falls, is one-arm farmer
of this county. He is an example of
what can be done Wnen Cnere Is VIII
to do it. He does his own ploughing,
aud, with one mule, the indications
are that he will make 400 bushels of
corn. He raises no cotton, but instead
has nine shoats which will be ready
for killing about Christmas. There
are the Vinesett boys, John and Joe,
both successful one-arm farmers who
make things lively for their more for
tunate brethren. Then again there is
Eugene Sarratt, also successful one
armed farmer. All of these men are
hardworking, industrious citizens who
have had the misfortune to lose an arm
on the field of battle which is constant
ly being waged but they are citizens
of which any county should be proud.
.'..'.".A general picnic will be given
at Cherokee Park one week from to-
morrow. 1t is proposed to invite the
candidates for county Offices to be pres
ent and make speeches. The Gatfney
orchestra will be on hand to furnish
music for the dancers.
