Gaffney Ledger, Jan. 21: Pine wood
at from twelve TO fifteen dollars per
cord in the most expensive commodl-
ty on the Gaffney market today. Oak
wood is much more reasonable IN
price. in spite of the fact that II Is
so much heavier to haul, and yet
those who ask exorbitant prices for
pine say that II is because OF the
hauling ....... The people Of Gaffney,
especially those who have relatives
belonging to the Eighth Company.
have been much concerned over the
reports that have been current TO the
effect that certain members OF the
organization would soon go to France.
so many inquiries have been receir-
ed 1T this office that II was decided
10 make an effort to obtain some au-
thentic information as to just when
the boys would sail. This move was
decided upon because The Ledger
feels that it owes Il duty to It's sub
scribers to give them all the infor-
nation possible ut all times. and this
being Il matter which is vitality in
teresting to a large number OF sub
scribers, it was thought that no trou-

Charleston to bid them a fond fare

indeed sorry that il cannot divulge
this information which involved so
much trouble to procure.
