CHEROKEE.
Gaffney Ledger, February IL: We
made the first visit to the new iron
bridge a few days ago and found it all
it has been represented to be, an up
to-date bridge. The new roads which
it's location has made necessary, are
still rough where they have been made,
and a large portion on the east side Of
Broad river has to be trimmed out and
graded yet. The new road seems to
have been mainly well located and
when finished, with proper attention,
will soon become a good road. All
these things cost money, but Chero-
kee is developing; every forward step
creates new necessities which our pa
triotic Cherokeeans promptly meet IN
their well-known business way, and are
ever ready to grasp the next enter
prise that comes up, If they are satis-
fed it Is based on sound principles and
will advance the common weal....
Yorkville is disturbed over the question
of a dispensary. 1t Is none of our bus
mess; but unless they can arrange 1t 80
they can get the rebates, we think
they had better let it alone. Its a
good thing to let alone anyway, with
or without rebates. Mr.. Javous
Kimbrell died Sunday afternoon at the
county home. He was more than 80
years old. Mr.. Kimbrell was a native
of Spartanburg county and had spent
most of his life in it. He was har-
ness maker by trade and served
through the Confederate war In the
First Regiment S.. C. Volunteers and
was a member of Captain Chris Win
smiths company. He leaves an aged
widow to mourn for him. She Is a
daughter of Potter Enlo, who was a
Revolutionary soldier. The remains
were buried yesterday. THE follow
ing is from The Free Lance, Of Spar
tanburg: 1.-THE Free Lance has receiv-
ed more new subscribers in the past
month than at any time in its histo-
ry. It Is the only weekly paper In
South Carolina that requires cash In
advance, and stops subscriptions when
the time expires. 1t goes to people
who have money to spend and Is there
fore the best advertising medium. 1t
has the largest paid in advance circu-
lation Of any newspaper in the state,
and the smallest in-arrears circulation
none. 1t sells more copies than most
newspapers can give away" There Is
at least one misstatement in the above.
The Free Lance Is not the only paper
in the state that requires cash In ad-
vance and stops subscriptions when
the time expires. THE YoRKvILLE EN-
oU1RER and the Ledger adhere to that
rule. But we note that The Free Lance
says weekly" and we remember that
both THE ENQUIRER and The Ledger
are semi -weeklies, therefore we pre-
dict that The Free Lance does not re-
fer to either Of these papers.
GASTON.
Gastonia Gazette, February: II: A.
D. Vanhorne, of Bessemer, was IN to
see us Friday. He Is the chair-maker
Of CASTOR county. He can make
chair a day. He uses maple, hickory,
walnut and other kinds of woods found
in this section. He and his daughters
are now making chairs and they turn
out two a day. Albert Davis, of Har-
din, makes chairs. These are the only
men in CASTOR county now engaged In
that class of manufacturing, so far as
we know. There is plenty of good chair
timber in this county and there Is no
reason why chair factories would not
be paying industries. Mrs. Caroline
Cobb died at her sons, P. G. Cobb's
last night at $50 o'clock. She was "a
years old, and was a native Of York
county. The remains will be carried
to Hickory Grove, S. c., tomorrow by
P. G. Cobb, where they will be inter-
red at Unity Baptist church, Of which
she had been a member for over so
years. During the Civil war she made
clothes for the soldiers. Her husband
was a tailor and made Confederate
uniforms. He died at the close Of the
war and left her with ten children, all
girls except the oldest and youngest.
All her parents and sisters are dead.
p. G. Cobb and Mrs. ]. T. Capps, Of
Gastonia, are her children. She has 50
grandchildren and AZ great grand chill
dren. She had a strong constitution
and held to life tenaciously... Charles
Rhyme, boss of the carding department
Of Long Shoals Cotton mills, has small
pox. The case was at first thought to
be only the chickenpox; but DIR. Har-
rill, the smallpox expert came from
Raleigh Tuesday, and after examin-
ing him pronounced the case smallpox.
Drs. T. F. and George Costner are at
tending him. and vaccinated all the
Rhyme family. The smallpox flags
have been placed over his house and
guards placed near by to keep any one
from going near the house. The case
is said to be very severe one, and 1t
is feared that it may spread unless
great care Is taken to prevent people
from going near the house.
