CHEROKEE.
Gaffney Ledger, Sept. 10: The "holi-
ness meeting. which has been in
progress at Limestone for a month
or more, came 20 a close Sunday
night, much to che delight and re-.
lief of the white people (and many
colored) who reside in that portion
of the city, and who have been dis
turbed almost beyond endurance by
the unearthly howls and shrieks OF
the "sanctified" ones. 1t is not to
be understood that it was the wor-
ship the people objected to, but to
the very uproarious manner in which
It was conducted. To many OF the
attendants who went out Of curiosity,
the meetings were more in the nature
of a circus. 80. DIR. r. F. Mckown'
of Cherokee Falls, has been appoint
ed by the state as one Of the physi-
sicians on the smallpox board, to
look after and report on the disease
in Cherokee county" ..... Mr.. Zeph

LEDGER, Sept. 20: Mr.. S. L. Steele,
who has been with ]. F. Mackey & Co.,
the past year. left yesterday for York
Vile to accept position with the Star
Drug Co., at that place. Mr.. Steele Is
hxy
and we regret to lose him from our
town. Sheriff Hunter and his dep
uty, Chief Of Police l. T. Hunter, ar
rived here Sunday from Wadesboro,
N. c., via Camden. with John Fisher
and Chas O'Day, the alleged Heath
Springs safe crackers. A large crowd
was at the depot to get a glimpse OF
the prisoners. They were taken at
once to the jail where the sheriff has
them confined in a steel cage made In
one of the cells expressly for them. 1t
is thought their escape is impossible.
Their trial Is expected to come of at
the approaching term Of court, next
month. They talk very little. .......
We never had prohibition under pres
ent conditions and we cannot tell how
1t would work, but there Is reason for
believing that It would work better
than formerly. II used to be that drug
stores could sell whisky under pre-
scription. but they can't do this under
the law we will have after the dispen-
sary Is voted out. The drug store that
handles whisky descends to the level
of the ordinary blind tiger and we do
not believe there is a druggist in the
county that would risk that, or would
stoop to that level If there were no
risk involved. "A letter received
here this week announced the death or
