CHEROKEE.
Gaffney Ledger, March 90: Sever
al weeks ago it became whispered
about that Mr.. E. B. Wilbur has ten
dered his resignation as superinten-
dent to the Gaffney Manufacturing
company. When approached on the
subject by a Ledger representative,
Mr.. Wilbur acknowledged that it was
fact; but did not desire that mention
should be made of 1t at that time.
However, Mr.. Wilbur's resignation is
in the hands Of the officials Of the conf
pany, and will go into effect about the
18th of April. Mr.. Wilbur came to
Gaffney about Is months ago from
Newberry. When he left Newberry the
people were made sad, because he had
made many warm friends while there.
When he leaves Gaffney he will leave
an aching void, for in the 1S months
he has been here, he has made many
friends. Mr.. Wilbur resigns because
Of his health. His relations with the
people Of this place and the officials
Of the mill have been extremely pleas
ant; but the constant strain of the
work has been telling on his health
| lately and he has decided to take
rest. Mr.. Wilbur is to be succeeded
by Mr. S. l.. Cutting, formerly Of this
place, but now connected with the
Cawthon mills, at Selma Ala. Those
who remember Mr.. Cutting will be de-
lighted to know he is to return. He
is a pleasant, wholesouled gentleman,
is we'll qualified for the position, and
is good man to have in the communi
ty. We regret to part with Mr.. Will
bur, and wish him a speedy return of
his health and prosperity wherever he
may go, and we extend a warm well
