said about it, the county road force
has done a great amount OF work on
the Pleasant Grove road during the
summer that is Of incalculable value.
People who are acquainted with the
old road know that about four miles
of 1t is a succession Of hills. some OF
them rocky and rough the year round,
others a bed of red clay that becomes
almost impossible in winter, not to
mention the streams. The hills have
been eliminated; so have the clay and
rocks. The streams flow on in their
channels, while travellers can pass

CHEROKEE.
Gaffney Ledger, Oct. 21: Senator B.
R. Tillman will speak in the court
house at this place tomorrow morning
at IL o'clock on the subject "dispensa-
ry or nc dispensary." AS a matter Of
fact it Is understood he will defend
the state barroom or dispensary.
He boasts Of being the daddy" of this
"'great moral institution" and Is con-
fessedly proud Of his child, and it
may be expected that he will wax
warm in his defense of 1t. We do not
fear the result Of the election. The
people of Cherokee have made up
their minds to do away with this dis
pensary, and all that Senator Tillman,
or any one else, can do will not change
them. :. j. N. Lipscomb made a bus
