[For The Ledger.
One Man's Opinions.
I have seen the day, and it has
not been loner, when I thought
- - r>" maybe
tho Stat# had made a mistake
in pensioning tho old soldiers;
but that day has passed. After
seeing and coming in contact, as 1
saw and cam? in contact Monday,
with the applicants for pension* in
this county?widows aged, poor,
and some of them palsied air! on
tho verge of tho grave; men old,
crippled, and hearing every evidence
of poverty and hardship-after
this 1 don't care how much
the State may give them.
. /. -v. -V
The it# are several thousand dollars
in the treasury belonging to
the county sinking fund for retiring
Chsraw & Cheater R R.
bonds which it aeema to me should
he loaned?either to the Bank of
Lancaster, or to the county itself
instead of the county borrowing
from the State sinking fund. Thin
for the consideration of our ream
ber? of the Legislature.
* * *
The proas diapatchea aay that
AlcLaurin (and three other DemoGrata)
voted with the Republicans
on the army reorganization bill.
I am glad of this. Not that the
Republicans were right?sot that
4 1. ? I - l I I * * 1
hm- dim ougni re imvf) passed: the
Republicans were wrong?the bill
ought to hare been killed: but
I am glad to see McLaurin piling
his sins up for Mi* day that is to
come.
If one mar judge the sentiment
of the people of the State from
the expressions of the newspapers,
porno candidate for Governor next
time could add to his strength I>v
putting a plank in his platform
against the extension of the time
for the payment of taxes. Fven
the negro paper at Rock Hill com
niontod unfavorably upon this bad
and unbusinesslike practice.

Queen Victoria Desperately 111

Cowes, Isle of Wight, Jan 11),
midnight.? I'he quecu of Kugland

strickea with paralysis tonight.

Cowes, Jau 22, 1 a. m.?Au
; other day in thu Victorian era, now
1 ho rapidly drawing to a clone, paused
without any great change in
the condition of Queen Victoria.
Despite the favorable afternoon
the doctors dreaded greatly the
period between 6 o'clock and mid- 1
night. VS'hen that was safely pas*
ed they seemed hopeful of Her
Majesty's liviug through another
day, although the memory of the
previous night's relapse kept their
anxiety at high tension.

A LI. THE WOULD IN SYMPATHY.
London, Jan. 22. ?The dispatches
received here from nearly
every capital in Europe, from
India, Australia, Jamaica and hII
the British colonies, show the press
[ and people to be sympathetic in
their comment on the Queen's
illness. The one exception seems
! t? be Belgium. A majority of the
J Brussels comment is in good taste;
! but, one pro Boer paper there
I
take* the occasion to make a political
attack on (neat Britain's
South African policy.
A dispatch from Pretoria saya
the Queen's illness has caused a
profond sensation there.
Special prayers were offered in
all the churches of the garrison
towns yesterday evening.
1 Many functions in Great Britain
| ami on the continent have been
' abandoned owing to the Queen's
condition. Emperor F'rancis
1 Joseph has countermanded the
court tall, nt Vienna, fixed for
this evening.
The Daily Telegraph says: "li
> seems but ? brief interval since
England was the center of almost
universal hostility. Today all in- '
1 temntional hostilities are hushed
' and stilled as thrv never were
before by any single event in the I
annals of the world.'
i The Dailv Chronielo observes: ;
"In the united States the nation
and the government display once
again the ^irrepressible seatiment
of a cognate people. Ths strain of
common blood which fl ws in
llritish and American voins has
been rarely more manifest or
more wnrinly recognized.
This evidence of universal aympathy
extended toward England
in lier hour of trouble is in fact

of Kngland too hitter and no professing
contemnor of crowns and
throne too fanatical to admit the
virtues and service to mankiud of

A pessimist is a man who prefar
a artificial light to genuine sunshine.
Some fools put on more airs

Some of the mill owners of this
State imagine that if South Carolina
passes ? htw prohibiting tha
employment of children under the *
age of twelre in cotton mills, that Id
it will cause many heads of fatni- r'
liea to leave thia State for (reoigia
and North Carolina. TUe
question of Compulsory education
need not frighten these people.
When the reaper and tha mower
were brought into use, laborers
on the farm imiagined that a?
their occupation would he serious I
ly crippled and it hua been the ""
same way with every class of
artisana since. The printers once Y
nloaci as 1 * a ? ? 1
in ij|>??vuing mncmties
but nil of these matters have adjusted
themselves and so would
compulsory education in South
Carolina. The legislature now in ,1
session in Columbia ought to be
guided by a conscientious regard
for right. They are supposed to ^
make laws for South Carolina and
if it is right, to force children of , "p
tender age to attend school, the j
law ought to pass regardless of
what North Carolina or Georgia j '
has to say on the subject. We belie\e
in compulsory education : p
