ANNOUNCEMENT.
In accordance with an agreement
m »de with Mr. DeCamp, I assume
for a time, the control of the reading
matter that appears on this page of
The Ledger. I am not the editor of
the paper and my name will not ap
pear as such, as I have nothing to do
with correspondents and take no part
either in selecting or rejecting mat
ter for the paper at large; but until |
further notice I may be held person
ally responsible for the opinions ex
pressed and the criticisms made in
leaded type on this page.
As I am not a politician, and have
no ambition to be one, it will be easy
for me to adapt myself to tho non
partisan policy hitherto pursued by
The Ledger. Yet, claiming as I do,
to cherish an interest, equal to that
of any other man, in all that per
tains to the promotion of the welfare
of our country and of a higher type
of citizenship, I may not find it so
easy to refrain, at all times, from
criticising public men and measures,
nor from rebuking wrongs and expos
ing frauds, whether in politics, church
or society. If, in my judgment, such
ft necessity arise, 1 shall not hesitate
to say what I think ought to bo said,
though I may run the risk of offend
ing some of my dearest friends.
I do not know that I have any
qualifications that would make me a
successful newspaper writer, even
under the most favorable circum
stances. 1 think, however, unless
the types play too many tricks on
mo, I can express myself in tolerable
English—that I can write in a spirit
Of fairness on any subject, within the
range of my comprehension—and
that I can pay both outward and in
ward respect to any other man’s bon*
est opinions.
With an understanding of these
conditions, I anticipate a pleasant, if
Dot a profitable 66aS'*‘ , of communi
cation with the readt. jf the Gaffney
Ledger. I want to help them all to
make the year of 1898 the best year
of their lives. If I could do some
thing towards such an end—some
thing towards making their homes
brighter and happier—something to
wards enhancing their material
and spiritual prosperity—something
towards inciting them all to pull to
gether for the upbuilding of our vig
orous little county, and for the
erecting of a higher standard of
morals, of brighter hopes and a
stronger faith; the consciousness of
such a reward would be a considera
tion against which gold would weigh
but as dust in the balance. Indeed,
the faintest hope of doing something
towards such ends, is now about my
only emolument. H. P. Griffith.
HOMICIDES.
According to the Attorney Gen
eral’s report, now ready to be sub
mitted to the Legislature, there were,
during the year 1897, 225 cases of
homicides tried and disposed of by
the courts of South Carolina. Ol
this number there were 31 "no bills,”
120 acquittals, G8 condemned to lon
ger or shorter terms of imprisonment
and only 0 to receive the death sen
tence.
These figures tell a tale well cal
culated to inspire all good citizens
with the gravest anxiety. It is true
that some of these cases were the re
sult of accident; others were commit
ted under circumstances that seemed
to justify them; others still, under
provocations that palliate if they do
not justify the crime. But, after we
make all possible allowances, the
fact remains that a spirit of lawless
ness is abroad in the land, that the
laws are weak, and that human life,
that most sacred and invaluable gift
of the Creator, is in a large measure
ao bereft of its sacredness, so cheap
ened in its value, that it may be,
and often is, taken under circum
stances which would not Induce a
sensible, humane man U) take the life
of a beast.
This reckless, lawless, inhuman
spirit must be checked, or the very
oundatlons of society will be unset
tled, and cWilization Itself will receive
a shock from which it may not re
cover in a hundred years. How is it
to bo done? That is the question
which now faces our people and
presses for a practical answor.
In our opinion, it is needless to ap
peal to the law-making power. Me
already have laws enough, perhaps
more than pnoui»h. Tho fact that
they cannot be promptly and vigo
rously executed—that they have in a
measure ceased to be a terror to evil
doers—is only a symptom of a dis
eased public sentiment, which has
been developing for more than a
third of a century. To cure a dis
ease, it is not enough that we combat
symptoms; we must strike at the
causes, and where these have been
slow in their operation, the reme
dies will also usually be slow in ef
fecting a cure.
Our people have lived in times very
unfavorable to the cultivation of a
healthy respect for law or the proper
appreciation of the sucredness of hu
man life. Thirty-two years ago the
country emerged from the greatest
and bloodiest war of modern timei,
if not of all times. Though our sol
diers fought for as holy a cause as
ever fired u patriot’s heart or nerved a
patriot’s arm, they did not escape the
inevitable intellectual and moral de
rangement that war always involves.
It is the business of war to destroy
human life and to revel in scenes ot
suffering and sorrowing, of ruin and
devastation. In war u man’s life is
as cheap as that of a wolf and fully
as insecure. It was inevitable then
that our soldiers, and in a large
measure our whole people, should
come out of that war familiar with
bloodshed; cherishing almost con
tempt for human life when it stood
in the way of duty or obstructed the
avenging of real or fancied wrongs;
and entertaining little regard for any
law except that which could be en
forced by tho strong hand of military
power.
The young men who grew Up soor,
after the war and who now give tone
and complexion to society and con
stitute the real power of the country
imbibed a large portion of the spirit
of their fathers. They heard and
read so many tales of slaughter that
they, too, came to put too low a
price on human life. Under the ben- -
eficient influence of wise laws and
undisturbed peace, die people would
have recovered from the moral, al
most as rapidly as they did from the
material effects of war. But then
the reconstruction period was inau
gurated, and during ten years, the
people of South Carolina were the
worst plundered and oppressed peo
ple on earth. This period was more
demoralizing, perhaps, than activ®
war. The state government was in
the hands of a horde of ignorant ne
groes, manipulated and directed by
a band of dirty scalawags and a few
unprincipled native white men, and
all backed by the whole power of the
United States. Such a state of
things could not be endured indefi
nitely by a brave and proud race.
There was an uprising from the
mountains to the sea; there were
frauds and intimidations, violence
and bloodshed; the incubus was roll
ed off, but the worst passions of hu
man nature had been stirred to their
depths, and the whole people emerged
from the struggle with little regard
for the invioable nature of law or the
sacredness of human life. Since
that time selfish politicians have
now and then done much to encour
age a spirit of lawlessness by stirring
up factional strife and exciting bitter
animosities, all in order that they
might accomplish purposes that were
purely selfish.
But aftf.r all, the most active and
potent immediate cause*of homicides
in South Carolina to-day is whiskey
Banish that from our borders &n d
there will not be 100 hom^ij e8 j n
the State during t^e year Igyg.
Then let the press, p uIplti aU
good citizens arous* themselves to
the horrible naturjj 0 f murder and
tho irreparable inj Ur y (j one to society
by turning loose murderers upon it.
and it will not be a g re at while before
the taking of human life will be made
so dangeroi^ to the slayer, that few
will have Ji ie hardihood to attempt
it.
ENTRIgg from OUR DAY BOOK.
A •’ko.wiNENT educator not long ago
delivered an address, which was fa-
vorabjy noticed by the Cplumbia
Stute i j n w blch he asserted that boys
nn( J Jjirls are kept in school too many
y« a fs. We wish to remind the dis-
*' n KuiBhed speaker that Young Amer-

(iUHK. lNATORU , i honors seem to be
in demar.d' an d the Indications are
that Gov. Ellerbo will not have ‘‘n
walk over” to a second term. Among
the several probable candidates men
tioned lion. W. C. McGowan seems
to occupy a prominent place, and
some of the newspapers are already
indignant at hw supposed predilec
tion for gold and goldbugs. Now we
are not personally acquainted with
Mr. McGowan, but we know he is of
good blood, and we think we know
further, that his financial opinions
have about us little to do with his
qualifications or disqualifications for
the office of Governor as his opinions
of the doctrine of evolution or of the
Nebular Hypothesis.

Our brethren in black, according to
the best medical authorities, is pecu
liarly susceptible to small pox ; yet
he is as suspicious of vaccination as
a mule is of a hole in the ground.
Recently a weary judge of the city
court in Atlanta was conducting an
exciting trial, which had drawn to
gether about 500 colored people, who
crowded every available foot of space
in the court room. The judge knew
what he was about, and at the right
moment he had all of the doors and
windows quietly closed and guarded
by the police, while he ordered u
strong force of doctors to proceed
with the work of vaccination.
Results: A very slim attendance
of spectators at the city court next
day, and five hundred chances less
for small pox.

Charleston has received a shock—
not an earthquake shock like that of
188G, but a shock to the tender sen
sibilities and delicate sense of pro
priety dwelling fondly in tbs bosoms
of her noble "four hundred.” For
tunately the cause of this shock is
more palpable than that of seismic
disturbances. A young cadet be
came fascinated with a beautiful ac
tress and escorted her to the cadet’s
ball The actress by her glittering
attire, beautiful form and graceful
manners quickly won her way to the
front, and became the cynosure of all
eyes. Then the discovery was made
by an elderly chaperon that Charles
ton society had* received a shock,
and in the rebound Cadet Peterson
and his fair attendant were expelled
from the ball. Now there are crimi
nations and recriminations, charges
and counter charges, and the sensa
tion has spread to northern cities.
In the meantime the actress is re
ceiving a great ovation, and it is
thought the adventure will be worth
at least $50,000 to her stage manager.
Moral: Be sure of your credentials
before you go to monkeying with
affairs that pertain to higher life in
Charleston.

Our colored friend, Sam Higgins,
runs a farm in Cherokee county, or
perhaps it may be more appropriate
to say that of late the farm has run
him.
Sam, like many others of far greater
pretensions to wisdom, last year
staked his temporal salvation on cot
ton. In the midst of the hoeing sea
son we met Sum and enquired about
his prospects. He was in high
spirits and said: "I tell you, boss,
Use struck it dis time sho. What
makes me think so? Well I’ll tell
yer. Cotton’s gwine to be away up
yander next fall, and dis nigger’s
elected. How do I know it? I’ll tell
yer. Yer see, about dis time last
year, de white farmers, dey wasn’t
giving but 40 cts. a day for hoeing.
Now dey are giving 50 cts. Don’t
you see? Ah! ha! ha! Fool^wbo?
Use got my eyes open, .Hells y
I left him chuckling j n high
humor, and HfrijfTdered how many
from the peculators of the exchange
down (o the poorest farmer, were
cbe^ghing hopes that were sustained
,ty no better arguments than Barn’s.
We wonder now how many this year
will stake all on cotton for reasons
just as flimsy.

lu tho Roman period not only were
sight IiouikIh and aceut hounds fully
differentiated, bat thero were also va
rious kinds of lapdogs and houso dogs,
although none quite like our modern
breeds. Even as far back as about 8,000
B. (J. Egyptian frescoes show not only
greyhoundlike breeds, but one with
drooping ears like a hound, and a third,
which has been compared to tiie modern
turnspit, while houso dogs and lapdogt
aaino in soon afterward. Whether any
of these are tho direct ancestors of mod
ern breeds or whether all such .have
been produced by subsequent crossing i-
a very difficult question to answer, more
especially when we recollect that if an
ancient Egyptian artist had to draw the
portrait of a modern dog it would be
very doubtful whether it would be rec
ognized by its master or mistress.
But tho record of tho antiquity of do
mesticated dogs docs not oven stop with
the earliest known Egyptian monu
ments. Not only were such breeds known
in Europe during the iron and bronze
ages, but also during tho antecedent
neolithic or polished stono period.
These have been described by Professors
Rutimeyer and Wohlricb, and those
who are acquainted With the difficulty
of distinguishing between some of tho
living species by their skulls alone will
understand th^ laborious nature of tho
task. Still those authorities appear to
have made out that tho Swiss neolithic
dog (Cauis palnstris) had certain crania)
resemblances to both hounds and span
iels, and thus indicated an advanced
type, which is considered to have been
derived from neither wolves nor jackals,
but from some species now extinct. Two
other breeds lia\ j also been recognized
from the superficial deposits of the con
tineut, and if, as is very likely to bo
tho case, any or all of these races are
the forerunners of some of tho modern
breeds it will readily bo understood how
complex is tho origin of tho mixed group
which wo now call Cauis familiaris.—

Dr. Coltmun, missionary physician
at Poking, is tho medical attendant of
Li Hung Chang, and not long ago found
his distinguished patient mini, rseti in
tbo p< rusal of tho New Testament, a
handsome copy of which hud just been
sent to him by the Rev. George Owen
of tho London mission. Ho asked Dr.
Coltmun, whom ho addresses in Chinese
as Man Tui Fu, if ho r. ally believed
tho book, and if it was not all rumor
and report. Assured that it was true,
ho asked what tho evidences were, ao
interrogation which tho missionary met,
eliciting from tho great man tho re
mark, “Why, I believe that you would
liko mo to turn Christian.” Dr. Colt-
man replied that it would be tho best
thing he could do, tho same condition
applying to tho young emperor and his
people. “Wo have Confucius,” replied
Li Hung. "You have Jesus. They are
pretty much ouo thing.” Having ad
mitted so lunch and becoming really in
terested in bis new Bible, the cbauco of
his conversion, in the opinion of Dr.
Coltman, is not entirely hopeless and
would be tho highest achievement of
missionary endeavor since their work
among tho Chinese began.
