pox has made it's appearance in Caste
mia, our neighbor up the road. The
conditions under which it appeared
there, and the number Of cases that
have developed, has created some un-
easiness here. Our board of health met
last week and decided to take every
precaution possible. The first thing
they did was to issue a circular to the
people Of Clover which set forth the
necessity and Importance of vaccina-
ton. While it is not compulsory, the
benefits derived and other facts set
forth in the circular, are very ,convinc-
ing that it should be done. ..sMr. L.

CHEROKEE.
Gaffney Ledger, February II: Sun
days Columbia State contains the
pleasing intelligence that Mr.. Buffers
bill to authorize the commissioners OF
Cherokee county to build bridges
across Broad riv-r has passed It's third
reading in the senate uncontested. 1t
was thought at one time that Senator
Sarratt would oppose the bill; but we
are glad he did not. There may be
those who have an idea that the build
ing of this bridge will work to the ad-
vantage of some people, especially the
merchants of BlackSburg; but 1T Will
not. There is not a person who lives on
the other side Of the river who Will
come to Gaffney to trade simply be-
cause they can come over the river on
a free bridge. There must be some
greater inducement than this to bring
them here. The only effect the build
ing of this bridge will have will be to
abolish one or more ferries or reduce
their revenue, and while we regret that
the ferrymen will be made to suffer
some decrease in revenue, it is essential
that the good Of the masses be subserV-
ed. The Sons of Veterans met Fri
day night in Colonel J. G. Wardlaw's
office at the Gaffney cotton mill. Not
withstanding the disagreeable weather
25 enthusiastic sons were present and
a camp fully organized. Colonel j. q
Wardlaw was unanimously elected
commander of the camp; w. G. Car
penter, lieutenant; and w. w. Thomas
adjutant. The staff Of officers is, OF
course, incomplete; but others will be
elected later on as the camp increases

pointed to draft bylaws for the camp
and a standing committee Of d. G.
Ross, j. L. McWhorter, w. H. Smith
A. w. Griffith, Julian Lipscomb and j.
R. Sparks, was appointed to solicit

bership must bring or send in with his
application, a record Of his lineage and

membership and applies to charter
members as we'll. Mr.. w. o. Lipscomt
suggested that the name Smith Lips
comb" be given the camp in honor OF
his uncle, by that name, who was
gallant soldier in the war between the
states. The suggestion was put before
the camp and the name was adopted
by a unanimous vote. Mr.. Smith Lips
comb was born and reared near this
place. and is we'll known by many OF
our citizens. He entered the army as
private, but by gallant conduct and
meritorious service he won rapid pro-
motion and soon rose to the rank OF
