A PRESIDENT MAKING GAME
DEMOCRAT', AND POPULISTS
MERELY SPECTATORS.
The Republican Situation in Many Re
spects Resembles that Which
Existed in the Early
Spring of *76.
I 'orrcsjioiHli'iiiv <>f The Ledoeh.1
W ashington, D. C., Marah 80.—
The game of President making is
getting hotter every day among the
republicans. The democrats and
populists are merely spectators,
waiting to see if the game will turn
up any oj pertunties for them to take
advantage of. Although four or
five canidates are named, the re
publicans are really divided into
McKinleyites and anti-McKinleyites,
vnd the fight has narrowed down
o McKinley against the field. The
IcKinleyites still claim that his
pm'mution is assured, but it is easy
see that they have become badly
lightened at the terrific fight which
fi. opponents are making on him.
Llessthe politicians are all mis-
taen in the situation, the Ht. Louis
covontion promises to bo ttio scene
of 3 spirited a series of contests ns
too place at Cincinnati twenty
yeas ago, and resulted in the turn-
ingown of Blaine and Grant and
the omination of Hayes. 'Certainly
the 'publican situation today re-
sembs in many respects that which
existl in the early spring of 76.
The entest over the platform, es
pecial the financial plank* may be
quite i spirited us that over the
candidte.
At lit the end of the Cuban res
olutions in sight. This week the
House \\[ follow the advice of the
confereio committee and agree to
accept t> original senate resolution.
Then Pnjdent Cleveland will pig
eon-hole iem, unless his intentions
are misrjresented by thoae who
ought toknow something about
thepi.
the datef adjournment is being
discussed, ft will not he as early
as Senator iatt’s resolution puts it—
May. 2—butt i.s likely to be within
a month o.that date, unless the
spirit whiCi animated the House
when it tookhe bit in its teeth, so
to speak, anuurned down the leaders
by refusing t consider an approp
riation bill biauso it wanted to de
vote a day torivate bills, becomes
prevalent and forces legislation to
the front agaiit the wishes of the
leaders, thus claying action on the
appropriation ,11s.
Senator Hill.jf X. Y., has Intro
duced a bill whh had it been fath
ered by a popult, would have met
with a conce rtc,cry of “ridiculous”’
The bill authores and directs the
Secretary of thefreasury to detail
a sufficient numer of revenue cut
ters to provide ft the safety of the
participants in ad the spectators
at international sailing regattas,
^fhere would bo jit about as much
pojnmon sense In bill directing the
Secretary of Wart detail a company
of infantry to pitect the umpire
at each and all of te games of base
ball that may be played between
American and Can<an clubs.
If members of Cogress wore not
hard-headed and difcult to convince,
the statement of e.\Scnator Warner
Miller, president of he Xicaraguan
Canal Company, to jo House Com
merce committee, wald have left no
doubt of the philathropic reasons
of the ex-Senator for wishing Uncle
Sam to guarantee 100,000,000 of
bonds to be ussued bjthe Canal com
pany, nor of the prjudice of the
gov6rnment commissi which made
a report which did r accord jvith
the figures of the Dual companv.
Mr. Miller also tried uittle high and
lofty business, by tellig the com
mittee that the canal ompany had
never asked for Congrosional legis
lation, and that all it now wanted
was for Congress to sft> whether it
Intended to take cental or not, as
private capital could asily bo se
cured if the intention ofthis govern
ment not to interfere bejlainly made
known. That sort of a Buff is worse
than useless. Those wh» know any
thing at all about the sdieme know
that It was because of t.o failure to
secure private capital th.t the plan
pf having bonds guaraneed by the
government was broughtforward.
Jt is difficult to get fads enough to
say positively whether tie reported in

branches of Congress duing the last

by the brewers to lookoit for their In

that the adininlstratlm he
glad to see such a hill ^ass, as It is
very well known that more money
will be needed than will be brought
in by the present methods of raising
revenue. Prominent democrats are
credited with having expressed their
willingness to allow such a measure
to pass if the republicans will assume
responsibility for it. Members who
represent the districts and who are
candidates for re-election will be sorry
to see such a bill brought up, because
they know they will make lots of en
emies whichever way they may decide
to vote.

Whitney, March 30.—Mr. Turner
began making brick for the new mill

COMPLIMENTS "OLD FLAW.’
And Still "S” Wants to Help Use His
"Big Feet."
(Correspondence of The Ledger.]
Maud, S. C., March 31.—Our com
munity was well represented at the
Sunday School Union which was held
at Beaverdam last Sunday. I heard
several young men say that there
were more pretty young ladies there
than they had ever seen at Beaver
dam before. I think the ladies
should feel complimented.
The weather has moderated and
the warm rain this morning makes
tho wheat and oats look promising.
Some of our farmers have planted
their upland corn. Those who plant
so early should plant by the Irish
man's rule:
Two grains for tin* black bird, three for tin*
cn w.
Seven for the cut-worm, and one for to
grow.
Flaw Picker I compliment you for
doing your duty. When you see a
flaw in any of my writing pick it out.
You were mistaken about “S” being
a star. It was my mother’s son. So
it was a “sun” you saw instead of a
star. Stars don’t shine by day but
by night. When “S” steps out upon
the arena of life with hjs “big feet”
he wants to leave footprints on the
sand of time that his people and his
country will not scorn. I would not
have taken tho subject “good so
ciety” to write from two weeks ago
if those women I spoke of had not
lived near my aunts’ yard. She
wanted them moved but had no au
thority to do so. I told her that it.
was the grand jury’s business.
Miss Ara Stacy, of Maud, entered
the Cooper-Limestone Institute yes
terday.
All who live within the limits of
Fairview school house are requested
to meet there the first Sunday in
April to organize a Sunday school.
Come out fathers and mothers and
bring your children. Lets have a
good Sunday school.
“S” hod been busy for the past
week pulling two lines across a gray
horse’s back. He hasn’t had time to
get much news this week. .s
Maud, March 30.—Our farmers put
in full ^ime the past week and expect
a busy time this week if the weather
will penifit. Several of our farmers
expect to finish putting in guano this
week. Gardens are receiving some
attention, Planting corn will be the
next game at this place, Tho fruit
trees arc putting forth their gorgeous
flowers and a good fruit crop is ex
pected.

Anderson, March 27.—Thomas
Palmer, a very respectable old gen
tleman about 6. r > ye ars of age and
well conducted, committed eulcide
here tbi^'morning bjf cutting his

bad Mr. Palmer had been in

Don’t let anyone persuade you to
take anything else instead of Sim
mons Liver Regulator. Some mer
chants will try to do this but not for
your good. They do it to make a
little more profit on something which
is of an inferior quality, though you
must p^y just as much /or tho bud

A HOUSE IN UNION
A SYMPATHY THAT DOESN’T
AMOUNT TO MUCH.
Rev. J. P. Knox Preaches an Able Ser
mon at Hickory Grove—Flaw
Picker’s Indescribable
Hallucination.
[Correspondence of The Ledger.]
Etta Jane, March 30.—On the 20th
instant Mr. Alfred G. Davis lost his
dwelling house, with its contents,
by fire. The fire, I believe, caught
upon the roof of tho house. He had
just finished building some new
rooms to his house and was preparing
to occupy them when his misfortune
took place. Ho had no insurance,
and the loss, some $500 or $600, is
quite heavy upon a man of his cir
cumstances. He must have help.
His neighbors will do what they can
for him, but those at a distance can
also give him a helping hand by
sending him money to buy lumber to
rebuild.
Sympathy that dosn’t amount to
dollars and cents isn’t hardly worth
having. I hope to have the pleasure
of giving tho names of any patriotic
young ladies, and men, too, who will
take it upon themselves to raise con
tributions and forward to him atWil-
kinsvillc. Every effort made in his
behalf will be highly appreciated and
substantially acknowledged.
Rev. and Mrs. J. P. Knox, of Hick
ory Grove, paid our section a visit
last week. Rev. Mr. Knox preached
at Salem yesterday to a large and ap
preciative audience. His text was
II Timothy 2:3: “Thou, therefore,
endureth burdens, as a good soldier
ol Jesus Christ.” I am sorry it is
now impossible for me to give an ex
tract of his sermon, but it would he
quite pleasant to be able to do so. lie
said many touching things. The sol
dier who enlists in a cause for which
he is not willing to sacrifice his all,
even his life,wjH never gain a victory.
He sgid nanny aid soldfers now pres
ent would bear him out that it cost
something to bo a good Confederate
soldier. There was no sacrifice too
great for him to make for tho success
of tho cause and the country he
loved and the same spirit must ac
company, and tho same sacrifice be
made, if we arc to bo good soldiers of
Jesus Christ and win victories over
sin.
Tho Spring communion will take
plrce at Salem next Sabbath, 5th o'
April. Preaching will begin at 2
o’clock on Saturday evening. Rev.
\V\ R. Owens will officiate.

1 had the pleasure o} meetlng'with
the Southern Section of the Broad
River ^auaoiatlon Sunday School Con
vention at Mt. Joy church last Satur
day. The large and beautiful church
building was tastefully decorated
with flowers and evergreens and
everything waa In first-class order.
The musio was good and tho
speeches excellent. LUro Old Flaw,
I thought I would slip in and
take a back seat in tiie crowded
church w'lierc no one would see
me, but the eagle eye of Moderator
Bee Crosby caught the move and I
had tQ face the music. I must thank
and praise tho many good people of
Mt. Joy for their many kind invita
tions to visit them in their homes
and other exhibitions of friendship
toward myself. I spent the night
with my old friend and army com
rade W. G. W. Goings, than whom
the Confederacy had no braver soldier
or tho country has uo truer citizen.
I met quite a number of my old army
comrades all of whom I was glad to
see, and all expressed a desire to go
to Charleston and Richmond on the
l nited Confederate Veteran excur
sions.
If Flaw Picker or the editor of The
Ledger would go over among these
good people I will almost guarantee a
corps of new subscribers, and I will
point opt some fine material for cor
respondents who would make the
paper universally popular in that
section, as well as it is elsewhere.
Our school will close the last of
the week.
Mrs. J. L. Strain has been very un
well with cold for tho past few days.
Tho latest and most reliable remedy
I have found for a cough (resulting
from cold) is to take a teaspoonful of
kerosino oil. To Mr. Knox 1 am in
debted for this information.
Cousin Flaw, you seem to be labor
ing under an indescribable hallucina
tion or you have had another night
mare. I am satisfied you are bilious—
your inards are all wrong or you
would not be annoyed with such
dreams. You had better consult
some doctor. Perhaps he can give
you an emetic and make you vomit
up that gorge of hypocrite and scrip
ture quotations you have swallowed
so unwittingly and which are lying
so heavily on yourjtpmach. Some
fool optimist woul^bo doubt) call
yours a case of retinal delirium or
some other big name common people
know’ imthing about.
It is tfh old saying, and in a major
ity of cases it is true, that “when a
man doctors himself ho has a first-
class fool for a patient.” I have tried
it. If you can do no better run your
finger down your throat and “let ’em
come.”
I have never tried to brag on our
people or the resourses of our coun
ty, but I believe we have as many
good people as any section of the
State in proportion to our numbers.
We have, too. another class or pro
fession which has gained a reputation
in other places and now bids fair to
succeed here. 1 refer to the “Knights
of Leisure.” This delectable broth
erhood is made up mostly of male
members whose duty it is to do noth
ing themselves and keep everybody
else from work, visit the towns and
the dispensaries, loaf around street
corners and pass fireside laws and
discuss cross roads polities with all
they come in contact and who will
give them any attention. Canonicus
give them a few more hot shot.
Yesterday, last night and today are
very spring-like. The peach crop
isn’t all killed, though it is consider
ably damaged by the late cold, we
fear.
Sweet potato seed aro not so plen
tiful as people thought they would
be. A general rotting has taken
place it seems.
Some of our farmers still persist in
planting large cotton crops. They
will furnish the market next full
with 5c cotton if a good crop is made.
There has been some disease among
the hogs in this neighborhood. Sev
eral have dh d. 11 is perhaps quinsy.

How Much Is a Waltz Worth?
At u beautiful villa near Paris was
lately given a charming fete. Pretty
women by scores wore present, and tho
loveliest among tho party was Mme. T.,
always eminently “tho fashion.”
At tho com men com out of tho ball a
youufi gallant hastened to bo tho first to
ask her to dance.
“With pleasure, sir,” replied sho;
“20 francs. ”
“Madame!” exclaimed the puzzled
cavalier.
“I said 20 francs, monsieur.”
“I beg your pardon, madame, ” re
plied bo, smiling; “thereis a misunder-
etandiug. I had tho honor to ask your
hand fur a waltz. ”
“Ah ! you arc right,” replied the lady
quickly, “there i.s somo misunderstand
ing. I thought yon asked mofor a quad
rille, but since it is a waltz it will bo 40
francs. ’ ’
More puzzled than over, tho gentle
man Waited an explanation, which sho
gave him with a gracious smilo:
“Do you understand, sir, that I am
dancing for tho benefit of tho poor? It i.s
1 louis fox a quadrille, 2 for a waltz, and
uo reduction in price.”
At this rate Mme. T. had no lack of
partners, and bravely and charitably
danced to tho close of tho ball. Who but
a Frenchwoman would have dreamed of
such a source of revenue!—Exehuuge.
