Gaffney Ledger, Sept. 27: The petit
tions calling for an election on the SUBJ
iect of "dispensary" or mo dispensa-
ry" have been turned over to County
Supervisor J. V. Whelchel, and that
official is expected to call the election
in ample time for the voters to express
themselves on the sth of November at
the ballot box. There were more than
a thousand names on the petition.
The farmers brought cotton to the city
rapidly last week. A considerable
number of bales were sold every day.
at prices ranging from 1925 to 1913
Friday and Saturday were the big days
when about 300 bales were sold
While the farmers regret when they
fail to get top prices, none OF them
are complaining while the price is
above 10 cents, and while the price is III
and above they will continue to mar
ket their crops. But just let the price
drop below 10 cents, then the recelpts
will surely become smaller, for If we
are not badly mistaken, our farmers
are going to hold for ten and their
ability to do so will surprise the con-
sumner. Since the article written
relative to the death of the Hills IN
the railroad wreck near Knoxville
Tenn, Mr.. and Mrs. Converse Weber
of Knoxville, have arrived In the city
and state that George William Hill is
alive, severely hurt but will recover,
and that Mildred Hill was alive yes
terday morning badly hurt and sink
ing fast-thought she will die. .The
banks of Gaffney have decided to keep
open until o'clock every afternoon
during the cotton season, or until jan
uary 1st, in order to accommodate the
farmers who may sell their cotton on
this market. AT a meeting of the
directors Of the Gaffney Manufacturing
company held in the office Of the COM
pany yesterday, Col. ]. G. Wardlaw
rendered his resignation as secretary
of the company, which was accepted
and Mr.. VIM. M. Webster was elected
to succeed him. Mr.. Webster has had
long experience in the mill business
office work in particular, which equips
him for his new duties; besides he has
a bright mind, Is full Of energy and
has a splendid address. We are not In
formed as to Col. Wardlaw's inten-
tions, but he Is acknowledged to be
one of the foremost mill men in the
state and We do not look for him to be
out Of the business long. His friends
here hope for him to organize a new
mill company and build another mill
in Gaffney.
