Churches, churches everywhere; narrow steeples pierce the air. Most are Baptists, few are not, here in Gaffney where it’s hot. And if you look around some more you will find the “Jesus Store.” But read “The Ledger” and you will see not all runs smoothly here in Gaffney. In the city council strife exists; they’re often engaged in bickering fits. […]

Parents are to blame
Everyone ought to have some gumption, but pride is a sin. Those young people invading stores and stealing peer into the camera with pride. Shame on them and their parents. People that teach their kids the world owes them are to blame. Our soldiers didn’t travel on planes and boats to other countries to fight for ignorance and pride. How […]

How much more? We moved to Gaffney 3 months ago. So far, the Cherokee County school board wants new schools and other stuff. My taxes will go up over 300.00 dollars. Gaffney wants a 4-day work week.(Please read Letter to the Editor Aug 25 in the Ledger by Betsey Youngs). This is a great idea, I called the Administrator’s office […]
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Re: Four Day Work Week Dear Ms. Sossamon; I am writing in regard to the article in today’s Ledger discussing a four day work week for city employees. I am retired now but worked for most of my life, much on the night shift. When I got a day shift Monday to Friday job I was shocked how difficult it […]
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hi, I just feel obligated to write you. I would have included Larry Littlejohn if I had his email. My family recently moved my mom back here to PA in February when her partner passed away. I had her newspaper forwarded so she can stay in touch with the community she lived in for 20+ years. WELL, I think, no, […]
Upset with preservation of Fort Thicketty
FREEHaving put Fort Thicketty, the worst historic preservation project of any structure of the American Revolution, on the front page of The Gaffney Ledger for the second consecutive edition, I could no longer help myself. The so-called preservation of Fort Thicketty is an insult to the intelligence of any person. Simply look at the structure and ask yourself: “Does Fort […]
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Cody, I recently contacted Sen. Peeler and Rep. Lawson regarding the condition of the roads in SC and the excessively long construction schedule for the widening of I-85 in Cherokee County. The poor roads are not only dangerous but are costing citizens money to repair their vehicles from the potholes and accidents caused by the conditions. These small county […]
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Kind Sir, Upon reading the Friday, June 30th edition of The Gaffney Ledger, I am amused to point out something unexpectedly ironic in the Perspective section. On the one hand, Pastor Bo Wagner, in his From the Pulpit column, “Let’s talk about ‘busy’,” presents an apologetic on the virtues of busy-ness (complete with scripture references to support), while in the […]
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Here we go again. I am Ken Childers, a retired Vietnam veteran and lifetime Cherokee County resident. In Cherokee County South Carolina for 3 out last 5 years, taxes and fees have been raised. AGAIN We as citizens and taxpayers are again facing this because we are not participating or paying attention to what is becoming an unprecedented and unsustainable […]
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
This is Brent Horton. My wife is fall prone. The previous ambulance service helped us the last few years for my wife to stand up and check her out at no charge. Last month she fell again and upon calling 911 as usual, we now have a bill for $300. No transport, no medications, no injury, just to get her […]
