Gaffney Ledger, August IL: Rev. f.
Franklin churches in Greer, has re-
ceived a call to the McLemore Avenue
| Baptist church of Memphis, Tenn. Mr.
Ross will probably accept. Mr.. Ross
| is a Gaffney boy, who has overcome
obstacles and ploughed his way
| through the hard ground of Cynicism to
the more fertile field of fellowship with
God through sheer force of character
| The Ledger is pleased to see his et-
forts regarded and his worth recog-
niZed and we confidently expected to
hear of his mounting still higher rungs
| on the ladder of progress. .....ln
fast but interesting game, Gaffney de-
feated Rock Hill last Friday by the
score of to I. The game was won by
| the hard hitting of the Gaffney boys.
| .It was singularly fortunate for
| Candidate Rlease that the only case
| tried before Mayor Little this year for
violation of the whisky law should fall
on the very day that he was in town.
| 1t gave him an opportunity to prove
/ that prohibition in Cherokee is a farce,
according to Mr.. Blease's way OF
thinking. ... Don't let everybody IN
| Gaffney who happens to own foot or
| two of land go crazy about the pros
poets of the town and ask absurd
prices for what they have to sell. Be
content with a reasonable price ana
thus encourage the buying of proper
ty by outsiders. .... over in the thlrd
ward is a section called "Helrs Half
Acre" the derivation of the opprobious
appellation arising from the tough
character of the inhabitants. The po-
| lice had reason to suspect that GER
| tain individuals were unlawfully deal
ing in liquor and a trap was set and
the unsuspecting walked right into 1t.
They were tried, convicted and SEN
| fenced to pay fines or work on the
chaingang. They were given until
Yesterday morning to raise the cash
and being unable to do so, Policeman
| Lloyd Austell yesterday escorted all
the men to the chaingang, and the wo-
men were turned loose with the un-
derstanding that they take up their
abode elsewhere. Thus it is that
very undesirable citizenship is re-
moved from our presence, at least for
the present.
Rock Hill Herald, August II: DR.
and Mrs c. NJ. Kuykendal have re-
turned from visits to Winnsboro
Ridgeway and YOrkville. .... Mrs. Sam
Mitchell and children left Friday for
| their home in Corsicana, Tex, after a
visit to Mr.. w. H. Mitchell. .... The
following left this morning to join the
party leaving Spartanburg today for
a trip to Canada over the c., c. & 0.
railroad. Stops will be made at Cin-
| cinnati, Detroit and other important
cities, and a delightful trip is antici-
pated. Those going from here were:
Messrs. V. B. McFadden, Roy Neil,
McCree Neely and Misses Lottie NC
| Fadden and Mary Moore. .... Waiter,

can of kerosene oil and drank some
| of it's contents. Drs. Carothers and
Biggers were summoned at once and
| they attended the child. AS we go to
press. the child continues to be quite
sick. Mr.. Brice, the father of the child,
| who is out of town, has been tele-
graphed for and he is expected in the
| city this afternoon. ON Thursday
on his farm at Smiths Turnout, Mr..
T. l.. Johnston gave a picnic, and bar
becue to the tenants on his farms.
About $50 hands" men and women,

mensely the fine soup, barbecued beef
and mutton provided for them. The
feast was finished in true banquet
style with cigars. on the same day
also, Mr.. j. NJ. Cherry gave a picnic
and n fish fry at the river to his ten
ants. MIR. Cherry's generosity made
the day a happy one for the good
crowd which was in attendance. .....
