MR.. HENRY AND THE CITY or
SALEM

Mr.. Henry, the owner Of the Salem
electric street car lines and lightini
plant, writes characteristic letter,
In reply 20 n request that he extend
his car line service TO Chemawa.
He thinks II might be a good thing.
and, in view OF the record he has
made since he acquired the Salem
electric plant Il is not so much a
question OF what he will do. as what
will the city OF Salem do9
Il was feared when he bought the
electric light plant and the gas plant
that he would jump up the rates on
the city lighting. and the city was
very sollcitous 10 have him renew It's
very favorable contract.
He met the demand of the city for
extending its contract. and the ooun.
ell ordered the execution OF a con.
tract for lighting at the old rates for
ave years, and no accepted the terms.
Since then the council has refused
10 execute the contract. and a new
program is proposed, under leader.
ship that would make a bettor record
for economy than the Hayseeds did.
On October first the suburbs be.
come part OF the city. and they are
not Included in the terms OF the pres,
ent lighting contract The new con.
tract that the council has tied up aid
provide for additional lights at the
low rate the older part OF the city has
enjoyed.
II the contract with Mr.. Henry Is
not closed by October nrst. there will
not be a contract for any lights in the
suburbs, and the city win lose a pro.
vision under which Mr.. Henry would
have 20 install those additional lights
at his own expense.
Il does not look 20 an outsider as II
cheaper lights could be had than the
Hayseed council has secured for the
past hve years, and under which IN,
greatest saving has been effected.

GEM Of THE PIEDMONT.
Gaffney, S. G.,
September 2, 1908.
Dear ADVERTISER :

Dear ADVERTISER:
You see by the caption that
am in the growing, live city OF
Gaffney, one of the gems of The
Piedmont section of South Caro-.
lima. This town, or city is about
thirty years old, having been ush'
er5d into existence when the
Piedmont Air Line railway was
built in 1878, which road is now q
part of the great Southern system
that spreads all over our south
land. When the town was located
acre lots were sold at $4,000, now
"a feet front, 100 back is being
held at $75O0.O0, so one can see
the great growth of the town by
this valuation list. This city is
situated on broad, high plateau
at the foot of the Blue Ridge
range of mountains. The air is
bracing and pure and the water is
very fine, obtained from an arte-
sian well bored 500 feet through
rock and bountifully supplied to
the city by a modern and up-to-
date system of water works at a
reasonably cheap rate, so that even
the poorest can lave this delicious
water. What blessing good,
pure water is 10 any people or class
of people.
The other indication that points
to the up-to-date progress of this
city is the system of electric
lights that furnish the lights for
every portion of the town
The town is full of doctots and
only nine lawyers. 1t is the coul-
ty seat of Cherokee county, one of
the new counties of the state. The
we'll established female college,
Limestone, is situated on the
outskirts OF the city in shady
oak grove. In the college ground
we noticed q new modern building
dedicated to Winnie Davis, known
as the Winnie Davis Hall of His
tory.
GaR sy is up-to-date from an
industrial point of view, as we no.
tice she has two cotton factories.
one being a. million dollar plant
also the only carpet factory ip
South Carolina and one ofonly two
in the South.
Among the doctors is our hume
msde boy, DR.. Ben Lee Allen. of
Fruit Hill, who has entered ito
active practice of his profe Ssion
and is very popular end prosper
GUS for new conner. There are
