of Local Interest.
Gaffney Ledger, July 18: The for
NAL opening of the City Hospital will
take place on August 1st at which
time a very enjoyable programme will
be carried out The plans of the di-
rectors for this opening are rather
elaborate and it is safe to assert that
all those in attendance at the opening
will enjoy the day to the fullest eX-
tent. DR.. Frank Martin, a prominent
physician of Baltimore, Md, will be
present on that day and will hold a
clinic for the benefit of attending ply
sicans. There will doubtless be quite
a large number of doctors in attend
ance and the board has extended a
cordial invitation to all doctors in
this portion of the state and North
Carolina as we'll to be present and
participate in the day. Work on the
programme is now going on and the
day will certainly be a most glorious
one. $50. The Cherokee Creamery in
this city, owned and operated by the
people of the county, has shut down
and will be closed indefinitely. The
manager of the creamery when seen
by a Ledger reporter yesterday stated
that the shut down was caused by
scarcity of milk and that he could not
say just when operations would De
resumed. One of the directors when
asked concerning the proposition
stated that a meeting Of the stock
holders and directors would be called
at some early date at which time 1t is
probable that the creamery will be
sold or leased. 80. The two baseball
games played Thursday and Friday
between Cowpens and Gaffney were
the biggest farces ever seen on a base
ball diamond Both games resulted
in favor of Cowpens although 1t is I'M
possible to say just what the scores
were as the official scorer lost count
early in the games. What this
country needs most is men in office to
whom 10 finger of suspicion can be
pointed AS long as men of known
immoral tendencies, low In their con-
ception Of the rights Of others and
highly prejudiced against those with
whom they do not agree are placed in
positions of honor and trust, just so
long will we be regarded as set or
gamblers and graft takers. Water
seeks it's level, and no nation. state or
municipality can be regarded as bet
ter than the men whom they choose
to govern.
