Gaffney Ledger, Oct. Is: The court
Of general sessions adjourned Satur-
day after a two weeks term. The
last case heard was Gaffney VS.. JEFF
ries, for the recovery Of land, which
began Friday and continued through
Saturday. The result was q verdict
for the defendant. Governor Hey
ward has been petitioned by the
Cherokee bar for an extra term Of
court for Cherokee, to begin Monday,
Nov. 14th, and continue for three
weeks, with Senator Hay or Hon. JAS
P. Carey as presiding judge. This
extra term is asked for the purpose
of disposing Of the large amount Of
business which was continued from
the recent term. The mill at
Cherokee Falls has been forced to
shut down for a while on account Of
the unusually low stage Of the water
In Broad river. Farmers generally
assert that nearly all the cotton has
been picked and a greater portion Of
1t sold. The season has been excep-
tionally fine for picking, and conse-
quently the cotton taken out so far
has been Of good quality and free
from trash. There were about two
hundred and fifty bales Of cotton sold
on the Gaffney market Saturday, and
several bales yesterday. The price
ranged from $50 to 10 cents. 800. "A
light frost was seen by early risers
Saturday morning In damp spots
along water courses, although the
ty-eight. Yesterday morning the ther-
mometer was down to forty-two and
the ground was white in many places;
though 1t is too dry and dusty now
for much frost. Senator B. r.
Tillman has accepted an invitation to
speak in Gaffney on Saturday, Oct.
22nd, at II a. m, on the subject Tenn
perance, the dispensary, prohibition or
license. Yesterday as Col. Sam
Jefferies was riding along the street
in front Of the Wilkins-Br Cloth
ing Co., his horse stumbled upon a
brick lying in the street and fell,
throwing his rider to the ground. Mr..
Jefferies was considerably shocked by
the fall; but was soon able to go on
to his home in a buggy, and we hope
he may experience no serious incon-
venience from his accident.
