THE WEEKLY LEDGER, I'l'Itl.IHlIRD KVKKV RKIItAY BY The Limestone Printing and Publishing Co. Incorporated. $1.50 per Year. R. O. SAMS, - - Editor. FRIDAY, MAY 2'), I8R4. GEN. GORDON AT GREENVILLE. Wherever General .1. H. Gordon ; has lectured. North or South, there has hecit elicited j'reat cuthusiasni. He is of eonmiandiii}' presence anti a fine orator. His subject, “The Last Days of the Confederacy,” appeals to every true patriot's heart, and lie invests it with a realism seldom attained by a speaker. Special rates will be asked for that neighborin'' towns may have the op- j port unity to attend. The Greenville Mountaineer says: 1 •The arrangements are concluded for the delivery of the famous lecture i of General John R. Gordon in this eitv, and it will take place at the Opera House on I uesday cveninjf, May 211th. when it is expected that an immense audience will the beloved and honored Gordon. His lecture is one of the choicest •'ems in oratory, and from the be;'innin«' to the end the bearer is charmed with the humor and pathos of the camp, the stirrinj' events of war times, the deseriptions of battle and skirmish, the trials and the sutTerini's of the j boys in orey, and the dramatic in cidents which marked the elnsin;' ■ days of the Southern Confederacy. General Gordon invests his pictures with a realism that is peculiarly bis own, and whether his hearer was a participant or not in (he •'real events spoken of his lecture takes hold with singular power upon an audience. The opportunity of hen ri no Genera I Gordon will scarcely be enjoyed by any of the nei«'hbnrin;' towns and cit ies, and an effort is beino made to secure reduced rates from the rail roads. so that the people of Andarson. Abbeville. Laurens. Spartanburo. and Dickens counties can secure the priv- ilejfe by eomino to Greenville. No one will ever regret the trouble and expense necessary for those at a dis tance. and we can assure our friends in other places that this is a rare treat which ou^ht not to be neo- leeted. The citizens of Greenville are especially fortunate in pmcurinj'the services of General Gordon, and he comes to us at a time when it is eus- tomarv to honor the Confederate he roes with memorial exercises. It is probable that on the afternoon of the 211th inst. the Ladies Memorial Asso ciation will festoon the monument, and otherwise commemorate an oc casion so sacred to the survivors of a Lost Cause. Camp I’ulliam is in charge (»f t he arrangements for t he leet urc. and will be aided by the ladies of the Memo rial Association. Committees of voiinff ladies will canvass the city for the sale of tickets, and it is expected that an immense audience will ^reet the distinguished Georgian. Gur friends from the country will he wise to secure tickets in advance, as there is likely to be a "rent rush on theday of the lecture. The price of admis sion will be fifty cents. * ••• • — CLOSE OF THE MEETING. The protracted meeting in the bap tist church closed Saturday last, after continuing two weeks. Rev. H. C. Ruekholz from Chester preached earnestly and faithfully day and nioht. He Is a man full of zeal in a {food cause, and with a heart overflowin'' with love to (tod and man. Such an one cannot fail to impress himself on any eunoref'jition he may address. One noticeable feature of the meet- ill}'was the absence of excitement on t he part of preacheror eonorej'ation The Word was preached wit Ii simplic ity, with rinj'iu}'earnest ness,yet with power. ’J'he word of God is addressed to rciusMt/'jblc beings. Its truths should commend themselves to us at our most sober, most solemn moments. We should wei};b well t he argument s, the invitations, theappeals, thewarn- iiii's, and decide calmly as reason able beings who are responsible to fiod mid not to man. /ij'rut oood has been done; we will •m»ver be able to calculate it. AN ATTEMPT AT BRIBERY The siij'iir trust is reported as con- : tributing one half million dollars to, the democratic national campaign. If so, the presumption naturally is that it was done with the view of in- | fluencing pending legislation. And j now Senators become involved. The report is current that llunton of Vir ginia and Kyle of South Dakota have been approached and offered money to vote against the tariff bill now un derconsideration in the Senate. We are not surprised that a resolu tion was promptly introduced and as promptly passed in the Senate order ing an invest igat ion. Senator Hun- ton who was present asked that the resolution be passed. These are grave charges. Though the attempt made failed of accom plishment ; yea, even though the of fer was spurned by the Senators named, still they have been held up to the public gaze as men who were thought approachable, and they oc cupy anyt hing but unenviable posi tion. We hope that the investigation will prove these Senators above reproach, and if there was an attempt at Rex- bery that the guilty party will be punished to the full extent of the law. bribery anywhere and at any time is debasing in the extreme. It saps the life-blood of him who gives and of him who receives; every God-given power is lowered by it, and the man is less a man who passes under the yoke. Rut when it raises its envenomed head at the national capitol amid senatorial scats at such a crisis, it should lie turned upon with all the vigor and all the right eous indignation that an outraged, incensed and united people can be stow. MISS VIRGIE. This community unites in lament ing Miss Virgie'sdepart urc from Gaff ney. In every way she has so acted and lived as to endear herself to both sexes, all classes, all ages. 1’n- pretending. her very presence was in spiring. and always forgood. It seems to us that we cannot do without her, so that we are selfish enough to wish that she could made have her permanent home where her worth is known. Re that as it may, we wish Mrs. Yirgie Cope land a long, happy and useful life, knowing full well that she will be a blessing to any community where her lot is east.

A convention of the Sunday schools of (he baptist churches in beech Springs township was held Saturday the lilt 11 mst. at the Wclford church. Rev. .1. K. Covington was elected president. On account of the inclement morn ing there was not a full representa tion, but those who were present en tered, into the spirit of t he meet ing. bee"h Springs township has felt the necessity of better methods in carry ing on her Sunday school work, and what is more to the point, she has taken the invitation to secure better teaching.

May 21.—Everybody one meets seems to have become a walking interrogation point, all seek ing the same information—what will | be found out by the committee of i Senators charged with investigating i the charges made against various in- ' dividuals and Senators, including attempted bribery, corrupting meth ods of sugar t rusts. and speculation in sutrar stock by Senators? It is not surprising that the Senators selected to serve on this committee, which began its work today, should have sought to evade the disagreeable task ; but Vice President Stevenson, hav ing made t he select ion after mature consideration and with a view *o the special fitness of each man for the work be is to perform, declined to ac cept any excuses or to make airy changes, and the committee stands as originall\ appointed—democrats. Gray, of Delcwarc (chairman.) and Lindsay, of Kentucky; republicans, Lodge, of Massachusetts, and Davis, of .Minnesota; populist. Allen, of Ne braska. If a <'ongre>sionaI committee had any power to compel witnesses sum moned to testify there would be no doubt of the sensational nature of the facts that would be brought out by this investigation, but the I'nited Slates Supreme Court basin a sim ilar case decided that no witness can be punished for declining to testify concerning t he private affairs of any citizen; therefore ||ie testimony will necessarily be conlined to |!nij which is in a sense voluntary, hut the <|ties= lions which will be asked some of the Senators in connection with the rela tions beween them and the sugar trust during the last two months may bring out much, if the members of the committee live up to their de clared intentions. The lirsl branch of the investigation deals with the alleged attempt to bribe Senators llunton, of Virginia, and Kyle, of South Dakota, to vote against the tariff bill, and will probably be short, as there was probably nothing more serious in it than the garrulity of an irresponsible lobbyist. The sugar trust branch will be longer, with re sult s very doubt fill. 1 shall not be surprised to have the fact brought out that the sugar trust made big contributions to both the republican and democratic campaign fund, just ’ as ot her 11 do more t hat) once DR.

The decision of the committee to hold the invest igat ion behind closed doors was not wi ll received in Warh- ington, but the vote of t ho committee was unanimous, ami. all things con sidered. was pi rhaps the wisest thing to do.

At last there secnj^ to b‘. if proba bility that a tariff hill will b*. pijs^rd in a few weeks, the Senators on both sides having apparently located themselves. The progress made dur ing the his! half of last week was very gratifying to those who are more anxious to see the whole business disposed of by the passage of some .yqrt of a bill than for the success or defeat of a;iy particular part of the bill.
