Gaffney Ledger, August Z: DR.. j.
T. Darwin is now occupying his res
idence on Race street. DR.. Darwin
recently purchased this property
from DR.. D. P. Thomson. AS a piece
of property 1t is one of the prettiest
and most valuable in the city.
The papers are still throwing bou-
quets at Charleston, and this notwith-
standing the fact that it's nearly a
month since the meeting Of the press
association at the Isle of Palms. BY
George, it seems that some of them
got intoxicated sure enough. But we
would not withhold anything from
dear old Charleston, nor her good
people. Surely they deserve all the
good things that can possibly be said
of them, and we don't care what Is
said, we endorse it....... The ladies
of the Presbyterian church are pre-
pairing to have a flower show this
fall 1t will be remembered how pop
ular these shows have proven in the
past and how disappointed many
were last season on account of the
fact that this annual attraction could
not be given. 1t would be we'll for
the flower growers of the city to
begin to get in readiness for the
event. All preparations Of course,
are yet to be made. No announce
ments in the way of presents or de-
tails are yet to be secured. These
attractions are universally popular
and Gaffney always makes them a
great success. Few cities in the
state possess such an array Of beau
tiful flowers or any ladies better able
to cultivate them than does Gaffney

HIGH IN The AIR.

The Morgantown Chronicle is MAX
ing things very uncomfortable for
Judge Dent. 1t hands out language
calculated to disturb the genial
judges sunny disposition and seems
to succeed in doing it, Below is an
interesting comment on his opening
speech at Kingwood:
The Preston Leader in its comment
on Judge Dents speech in King
wood at the opening of the campaign
said: "His fire was directed rather
too high to fill graveyards at the be
ginning"
That is the pointed comment Of an
old soldier-Leroy Shaw made the
comment-who knows that in battle
the raw recruits, in the excitement OF
the conflict, are apt to waste their am.
munition by shooting entirely over
the heads of their enemies, up into
the clouds.
That is exactly what the Democrats
are doing in this campaign, and Judge
Dent fell into the same habit when he
came to target practice at Kingwood
last Saturday, TIE fire hits nothing.
The thin air received the discharge,
and there is scarcely so much as u
momentary echo. Air thou art ami
unto air shalt thou return.

have contended that the people would

by the opposition that under the re

have to sell or give away their prop,
