ACTION in FAVOR OF CUBA.
INDICATIONS strongly point
in THAT DIRECTION.
Plain talk About the Abuse of the
Free System by United States
Court Officials—Na
tional News.
(Correspondence of Tin-; Ledger.]
Washington-, I). C., Feb. 21th.—
The Modern astrologers—those who
foretell coining public events by the
movement of the stars political in
stead of the stars above—say there
are strong indications of early Con
gressional action in favor of Cuba. It
is understood that President Cleve
land has about made up his mind
that the time for the United States
to act is near at hand, and that he
has conveyed a hint to influential
men in Congress that he would like
that L iy to take the initiative, and
that he is willing to go as far as Con
gress may indicate a desire for the
government to go. The resolution
reported from the Foreign Relations
Committee of the Senate merely ex
presses the opinion that the beliger-
ency of Cuba ought to be recognized
bit it will not bo surprising if some
thing much broader should in the
end be adopted. Senator Cameron
has a substitate which requests the
President to ask Spain to grant the
independence of Cuba, and other
substitutes will be olftred before the
Biattor is pushed to a final vote.
While there is some doubt about the
exact nature of what Congress will
do, there is none as to its Intention
to do something favorable to the
Cubans.
It seems that the plain talk about
the abuse of the fee system by
United States Court official#, which
was indulged iu recently on the floor
of the House, is to bring about a re
form. The House Judiciary Commit
tee ha# decided to report favorably a
bill abolishing the fee system, so far
as it applies to United States District
Attorneys, Marshals and their clerks
and deputies, and to pay these offi
cials stated salaries.
Speaker Reed very seldom makes a
promise any more definite than “I
will see about it” to the numerous
members who visit him to ask recog
nition for the purpose of calling up
private bills, and his invariable an
swer to those who persist in trying
to get Inni to commit himself is “1
am making no promises to anyone. I
simply say tliat I will see about it,
and then, when 1 get inU the House,
I reserve the right to see you or not.”
Some of those who have failed to get
recognized are saying privately that
the Republican members who have
influence in the election of delegates
to the St. Louis convention never fail
to catch the speaker’s eye when they
rise.
According to current rumor—none
of those who were present will talk
about it—some very sensational re
marks were made by Chairman Walk
er, of the House Ranking and Cur
rency Committee at the last meeting
of the committee. Mr. Walker is re
ported to nave said that the failure of
the committee to agree upon some
satisfactory financial bill was because
nearly every member of the commit
tee was interested directly or indi
rectly in some banking institution,
and were more intent upon looking
out for those institutions than for the
interests of the people who elected
them to Congress, lie is also reported
to have appealed to the members of
the committee to drop their selfish
schemes for legislation in the inter
ests of individuals and do something
for the benefit of the people at large.
The queer part of this reported ac
cusation of Mr. Walker’s is that only
three of the seventeen members of
the committee acknowledge any con
nection with banks—Representative
LeFevcr, I’resident of the National
Rank at Xewpaltz, N. V., Represen
tative Spalding, Director of a Nation
al Rank at Monroe. Michigan, and
Representative Hill, Vice-President
of a National Rank at Norwalk, Conn.
Mr. Walker should be more specific.
He must have information connect
ing other members of the committeo
with banking interests, as three
members cannot be considered ‘‘near
ly every member of the committee,”
nor could three members control a
comaiittee of seventeen.
fcrctary Morton always tries to
lolT something funny when ho
ts a Congressman. The other day
Congressman who called at the
jpriculturul Department found the
jeretary admiring two very long
Pars of corn which had iust arrived
from Nebraska. “Isn’t that line mule
corn V” querried the Secretary. “It is”
answered the Congressman: “but I
can’t understand why you call it
mule corn. Why not horse corn?”
“Mule corn always has long ears,”
replied the Secretary. The Congress
man who told the story didn’t say
whether he laughed or not, but as he
got what ho went after, it is fair to
infer that he did. Men seldom grant
favors to those who don’t laugh at
their jokes.
The gold reserve is again above the
$100,000,000 mark, but nobody ex
pects it to remain there long. In fact,
predictions are already being made as
to the probable date of the next bond
issue, and President Cleveland is said
already to regret not having made
the last bond issue doubly as large,
so as to have secured enough gold to
have maintained the reserve to the
end of his term.

Gastonia, X. C., Feb., 21.—We i
have bad some very cold weather for j
the last few days—snow and wind, j
Notwithstanding the cold, work goes 1
on. There are quite a number of |
houses now under contract. J. D. ,
Moore, secretary and treasurer of the
Modena Cotton Mills, has the lumber i
on the ground for four tenement |
houses. Mr. Gardner has the con
tract. He is also making prepara- j
tion to cnlargo the present plant by |
the addition of 72 looms, which will j
make 200 looms in operation at this ;
mill. Mr. Gray, superintendent of i
the old Gastonia Cotton Mills, is
making arrangments t > commence
the erection of his new mill. The
timber has been cleared otl the I
ground and a switch laid ready to
deliver the lumber, li is rumored:
that he will commence the erection ,
of forty two story tenement houses
at once.
Well the measles seems to he abat
ing in some portions of town while in i
others they are still raging.
A Mrs. Alexander died of measles
last Friday night. Her remains were
interred at the cemetery on the 22nd.
Her sickness was of short duration.
She was highly respected and will be
missed by the entire community.
She leaves several children besides a j
-large circle of friends to mourn her
loss. There are some three or four
of her children coniined to their beds
with measles.
It seems that Flaw picker and ;
J. L. S. are on the war path. Give it

floor long enough. Resides his c.xag-
erations and personficai ions are :
enough to raise the nap of the most
of us though we would not have him
sail in to us for the world for we tind
him very dangerous and hard to con- j
quor, especially if he is allowed to run j
loose at will.

This is a good time of the year to
take Simmons Liver Regulator. It
is the very best medicine to take in
the Spring for the blood, and to
cleanse the *y item of all impurity.

and think it an excellent remedy. I
always keep it on hand to take in pref

Etta J \ne, S. C., Feb., 24.—Farm
ers are greatly behind with their
work this season, and the weather
continues so cold and wet that it will
be some time before they catchup
with it.
Next week court will be held at
Union. Up to this time very little
businesss from this section has been
sent up to it.
The North Racolet Interdenomina
tional Sunday School Convention will
meet at Wilson’s Chapel on the 22nd
of March.
The wind for the past few days has
dried the roads considerably and
travel is becoming less annoying
than formeily.
Our roads and gully bridges, in
many places, are badly in need of re
pair. One dark rainy night about
three weeks ago as Dr. R. D. Rates
was coming from Oalfney to see a pa
tient in this section his horse fell
through a bridge this side of Lawn
Rostoffico and the Doctor came near
being killed. ,
Ry bragging what they have done
or complaining that they have had to
do anything for the poor is a plain
way professing Christians have of
saying good bye Christ. If we had
more church members like the poor
widow who cast two mites into the
treasury we would have more Christ
ians like Christ. It is so unnatural
for a Christian’s tongue to be larger
than his hand.
Last Thursday “John Snap” and
Coley had a runaway scrape while
going to mill. No harm was done
further than a general shaking up of
the wagon and its occupant.
For several days last week we were
housed up with rousing fires, attend
ing to our sick.
The little boat made several trips
last week to Lockhart Shoals with
lumber. Finally the “biler busted”
and it’s now hung up for repairs.
Ry summer time we expect to see a
good deal of travel over this water
line.
A few days ago a rumor reached
this section that one of Dr. and Mrs.
M. J. Walkers’ children had died at
their home iu Yorkvillo. It turned
out to be false and we with our
neighbors congratulate the family
that they have been saved such sore
beroa ement.
The annual reunion of the South
Carolina Division United Confeder
ate Veterans will be held iu Charles
ton beginning April 22nd. The Di
vision Headquarters are trying to
make arrangements with the rail
roads for reduced rates so as to make
it possible for a large attendance of
old soldiers, their families and
friends, also the families of deceased
soldiers. The city is making prepa-
raions for t iio grandest time many
an old soldier will ever see on this
side of the grave, and we should
show our appreciation of the old
fashioned welcome m store for those
who attend. Let all camps send
strong delegations. Important mat
ters will come up for discussion and
action in which every survivor has an
interest. I trust the proposed camp
at Gatfney will be organized and have
its delegates present.
Rev. R. W. (livings will preach at
Salem next Sabbath the 1st proximo.,
at 11 a. in.
A general kicking against the two
dollar road tax is now going on in
this section, and some go so far as
to say that the candidate for the leg
islature this year who is not in for
its repeal might us well lay his boom-
let away until a change of sentiment
comes of the political heavens.
The Christian endeavor society met
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. J.

people say who take stock in such
nonsense.

The Hopewell correspondent
“Myrtle” has my thunks for the
many pleasant things said about me
last week. 1 must- say, however,
that I am no pitchfork man when I
have a grudge to settle with an an
tagonist 1 am afraid to use it as a
weapon of warefure since Col. McKis-
sick’s Irishman killed the farmer’s
dog with it. Como over “Myrtle”
and give all the news yon can from
our county and I’ll not think you an
intruder. If I know of any in your
bailiwick I’ll not stand bdek to write
it up if 1 think it will interest any of
our readers.
T. R. Rut lor, Esq., was before our
magistrate’s court Inst week on pro
fessional business. The law firm of
which ho is a member is building up
a large practice in this and Spartan
burg county.
One day last week one of our peace
officers came up with a peddler and
requested him to show his authority
to examine his license. Then a few
hot words passed between the limb of
the law and the vender of dry goods.
Finally a copy of the general statutes
was brought in and section 1453 read
when the Knight of the Yardstick
showed his receipt for $10.00 paid the
clerk of court, J. H. McKissick, for
the privilege of peddling dry goods in
Union county. Thus matters were
settied and each party congratulated
himself that he had met at least one
man who was doing a straight busi
ness.
Recently I have received some job
work from The Ledger office which
for style, material and prices will
compete with any work I have ever
seen. I have examined catalogues
and samples from many publishing
houses of national reputation and I
see no advantage they give over our
home work. There is no necessity in
business men sending off for what
they can get at home just as good and
just as cheap. j. l. s.
DIAMONDS ARE DIAMONDS.
Cool Eeply of a Woman Who Tried to
Swsn-Jlo Throngh Painted Gems.
A woman who says sho is Mrs. E. A.
Roberts and that sho owns $20,000 worth
of real ostaio in Syracuse, has been un
der arrest hare for painting diamonds
and endeavoring to negotiate a largo
loan on (ho strength of the deception.
She is good looking, tall and slender,
and wears tailor made gowns and a seal
skin cloak.
Sho advertised iu a local paper that a
well to do widow in need of ready mon
ey was willing to pay a bonus of $.70 for
a 30 day loan of $300 and guarantee
good security. The manager of a local
loan company answered the advertise
ment, and Mrs. Roberts called upon
him.
“I have come to you,” she said, “to
consummate that $300 loan. I am a
widow and have $20,000 worth cf real
estate in Syracuse, N. Y. t but I am in
need of $300 ready money, and I will
give you my note for 30 days.”
“And how about fbe security you have
to oner;” suggested Mr. Evans.
“Certainly,” answered tho widow.
“In order to avoid delay, I brought tho
security for the loan with me. See, these
are worth twice tho amount I want.”
Sho drew from her purse two big
white diamonds. One was sot in a stud
and tho other in a pin. Tho manager
tested the stones and failed to find even
the suggestion of a flaw. Ho told tho
woman to call on Monday, and sho could
have tho money. Before going, Mrs.
Roberts said:
“I will seal tho diamonds in this en
velope and indorse it with your name.
Now they will not be removed from that
envelope until you receive them. I will
call at !l o’clock Monday morning.”
Tho manager got his first intimation
that something was wrong when ho
started to locate tho rich widow iu need
of ready money. Sho had told him sho
was living at 1327 S street, northwest.
He found that there was no such num
ber. At this stage of his investigation
ho decided to ask tho aid of tho police.
Central Office Detectives Horne and
Weedou were assigned to the case. They
discovered that Mrs. Roberts was living
under cover. Acting under tho instruc
tion of tho detectives the manager per
fected his arrangements for tho reccp-
ti( n of Mrs. Roberts. She called at 11
o’clock.
“Those uro tho diamonds,” she said,
handing the manager tho sealed en
velope.
“Just sign tins 30 days’ note and
those receipts,” ho said. “I will be back
iu a moment with the money. ”
Ha took tho diamonds into a rear
room and plunged tho gems into an acid
bath. When ho came out of the back
room, ho was very nervous, but he man
aged to disguise his true feelings until
the detectives had entered iu response
to his signal.
"What’s tho matter?” queried Mrs.
Roberts. ‘ ‘ Has anything happened to my
diamonds?”
“Yes,” ho said; “they have turned
from white to yellow. They are painted
stones. ”
Mrs. Roberts took her arrest quietly.
“You have no case against me,” sho
said. “You will find that they are real
diamonds, and it is no crimo to raise as
much money as you can on real dia
monds. ”
Bure enough, an expert declared tho
diamonds to bo genuine, although worth
but comparatively little, and Mrs. Rob
erts was released.—Washington Letter

The author of “Tho Prisoner of Zeu-

described by an interviewer as possessed
of features which “might bo cut iu

Ho is 34, slightly bald, has a delightful
I smile and dreamy, thoughtful eyes,
with a "slow, half kindly, half cynical
and greatly blase manner. ” Ho is unmar
ried and much sought after, with a
whispered hint that ho himself much
seeks the society of a young and charm
ing English actress, whoso identity is
no further disclosed than that she is
“celebrated for her naturally golden
hair.”
FLAW PICKER FIGHTS FIRE.
HIS CONVERSATION WITH THE
POLITICIAN.
Mr. Reed Parris’ House Burned Down
Tetotally Last Sunday—Coalin’
Ground Section on fire—
Other Chat.
Dkaytonvieee. Feb. 24.—It seems
as if though our whole settlement is
on fire. Yes, on fire. No one knows
the agony of EIRE until they have bin
“tried by fire,” as it were.
This here ole coalin’ groun section
is red-hot, it seems. The whole woods
is on fire, an God only knows how
deep down in the groun it goes.
Mr. Reed Parris' house burned
down tetotally yistedy. The fire got
from the woods to the shuck pen, an
from the shuck pen to the corn crib,
an thence to the house. It seems that
Reed an his beloved family was out
payin’ some naberly visits an on re
turnin’, found his house to boon fire.
He managed to git out a few quilts,
but when tho thought impressed
itself upon his mind of the fact that
there was a loaded muskit in thar an
that he wasn’t shore as to the way
the dangerous end of it was a pintin’,
he got his wife an children of! from
thar an let the thing burn. The ne
cessities of this family should be
looked after; his house rebuilt an re
plenished, his corn crib refilled an
an his shuck pen also. Our nabers
have big hearts—hearts full of love,
you understand—whitch “taketh no
denial.” Koine boast of their love fer
God an man; some, love fer honesty,
purity an trutli; some, sweetheart
love, while some are accused of in
dulgin’ too freely in puppy love.
Rut withal, I nin satisfied our brother
will be on foot soon again, aided by
our united brotherhood of love.
This thing, fire, is got a wonderful
sound in my ear. It’s got a silver-
steel ring, like that of a warrior’s
swoard, that fills my soul with terror
when it’s used to represent danger,
anger, vexation, strief, envy, disap
pointment, Ac. This thing, tire, is
got a wonderful sound in my ear.
It's got u soft silver note like that of
a cooin’ dove when it is used to rep
resent love, unionism, friendshipism,
&c.
Sometimes I am in the country an
sometimes I’m in town, an to tell the
truth, it’s a hard, hard matter fer
one to keep up with ole Flaw. The
town people think I live in town an
the country people think I live in the
country. As a gincral tiling the town
boys snarls up their noses at a “coun
try tackoy,” while the country boys
snarls up theirs at the “town dude,”
but thank God ole Flaw aint never
found that dividin’ line as yit. I was
half raised in the country an half
raised in town—two halves make one
whole—yit, some say I ain’t half
raised. How’s that?
T’other day I was a standin’ on a
street corner when a red nose devil
stepped rp an addressed me thus:
“Hello! Flaw, how’s the election
with you?”
“Aint lakin’ no stock in it. Don’t
care how it goes,” I said as 1 lent up
aginst a brick wall to keep the scent
of licker from knockin’ mo down.
“Well, now you should be inter
ested in this affair. We want good
men at the staff of this here growin’
city, an we want you to help to put
’em thar. See?” said he.
My dear sir, I—1 don’t even know
who’s in the field, I pay so little at
tention to it. I guess I will have
time plenty later on to select these
great men to erect as a staff fer
inis worthy town. Go! aint it cold?
I must hide out for home ’fore I
freeze,” I said, tryin’ to git away
from him.
* “Don’t be in a burry, I’ve got some
lickcr ’round here, less go an drink
together fer once, then you’ll git
warm. I want to talk to you in re
gard to this subject any way,” he
said.
My curiosity was aroused as to who
that great staff was that he was want
in’ elected—never drempt that ho
was on that staff—so I said: “No,
thanks, I have done an quit drinkin'
in my young days, but ef you want to
chat with me I’ll stand the cofd a few
minutes longer. Ry the way, you
liaint told me what ticket you are a
representin’ an who them thar men
is who’s goin’ to compose this staff of
whitch you speak.” I knowd that
that thar was what he was a drivin’
at. you understand.
He drew a long breath an said:
“Well, thar’s me an—”
“What, you don’t tell mo you are
on a ticket that composes that thar
stuff.” I said.
“Why, certainly I am, an I want
i 'll to vote fer me, too,” he said.
“I’ll see you later on about this
bisness. Good by,” said 1 as I walked
off. As I went on home I allowed
my mind to run over the incident a
few minutes, an God an myself only
knows what hit suggested to me, but
you shall know in the near future ef
God spares the life of ole
Flaw Picker.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Fillingthe Offices Is a Distracting Duty,
and One which Weakens a President.
In none of his papers upon “This
Country of Ours” has ex-President
Harison delivered himself with each
vehemence and emphasis as he has
in the one in the March Ladies’ Home
Journal. “Tho President’s Duties.”
Resides comending one of Mr. Cleve-'
land’s acts, and censuring Ambass
adors for making political speeches,
he talks of Presidential appointments
in a most feeling and an almost pathe
tic way. Upon the latter theme, in
giving endorsement to Civil Service
Reform, he says: “In spite of all the
difficulties that beset the question of
removals and appointments it must
be conceded that much progress in
the direction of a betterment of the
service has been made. The Civil
Service Rules have removed a large
number of minor offices in the depart
ments at Washington, and in the
postal and other services, from the
scramble of politics, and have given
the President, the Cabinet officers
and the Members of congress great
relief; but it still remains true that
in the power of appointment to office
the President finds the most exacting,
unrelenting and distracting of his
duties. In the nature of things he
begin to make enemies from the start,
and has no way of escape—it is fate;
and to a sensitive man involves much
distress of mind. His only support
is in the good opinion of those who
•hiefly care that the public business
shall be well done, and are not dis-
tHrbed by the consideration whether
this nan or that man is doing ft;
but lie hears very little directly from
this class. No President can conduct
a successful administration without
the support of Congress, and this
matferof appointments, do what ho
will, often weakens that support.
It is for him always a s#rt of com
promise between his ideal and the
best attainable thing.”
“The Bar as a Profession.”
Lord Russell, of Killowon, who has
risen to the great dignity of Lord Chief
Justice of England by distinguished
merit as a lawyer, has written for the
Companion of Febuury 13th a striking
paper on “The Rar as a Profession.”
This paper is marked by tho strength
and clearness of statement which
made the author, when he was plain
Mr. Charles Russell, a leader of the
bar.
Of eloquence Lord Russell says:
“The desirable thing is to have some
thing to say; and as to tho manner
of saying it, Daniel Webster spoke
truly in his celebrated oration in
honor of John Adams when he said,
‘Clearness, force and earnestness are
the qualities which produce convic
tion.’ ” Regarding the necessary qimi-
tications for law: “Love of the prof
ession for its own sake, and physical
health to endure its trials, clear
headed considerations to be taken
into account in determining a choice
of the bar as a profession. If the
youthful aspirant possesses these,
success is, humanly speaking, certain,
lie has to remember that while ho is
fighting for the interests of his client,
there are other interests even greater
than these; the interests of truth and
honor; and he must never forget, as
Sir Alexander Cockburn well express
ed it, ‘that in th3 battle his weai>ori
must always bo the sword of the
soldier, and never the dagger of tho
assassin.’ ”
For the next issue of the Compan
ion, the Washington’s Birthday
Number, Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes, the able inheritor of a great
name, has written an interesting
supplement to Lord Rnssell’s article,
presenting the subject from an Amer
ican point of view. Appended to the
article are a brief rejoinder b}’ Lord
Russell and a final comment by Mr.
Justice Holmes.
Each issue of the Companion con
tains one or more articles of excep
tional value, written by the ablest
and best known men and women of
the age.
