WOMAN’S PRESENT STRATA.,
Victor Hugo well said that the
nineteenth century would bo ron-
quered by woman ! She may be sub
merged by criticism, restraints of
society, and inexplicable barriers,
but like the cork she is kept down
,oply by force, let pressure be re
moved, instantly she rises to demands
that place her in the arena to dare
itiiU die. The woman of the present
day craves work, and not always to
win her bread; she spurns only the
adornment of a niche and being a
nonentity in the world’s progress
and its grand and marvelous excel
siors.
We congratulate Charleston in the
prospective Industrial Home to be
established by the Woman’s League,
of New York, in the shade of piney
forests and so near the “gray old
ocean, vast, deep and fathomless as
are great minds that are pleased in
Br doing good.” This grand asso-
tion was organized for the pur-
of aiding deserving woman de-
pnt on her own resources. It

l accomplished ladies, Mrs.

tour. On their return they stopped
at Charleston and saw the city in her
“spring-time” glory, her lovely
gardens and wearing a vestment of
her famed polished and refinement,
also the splendid rose and tea farms
of Prof. Shepherds. These ladies
j^ro captivated, and returned North
^ksuch a glowing picture that in
H^^ir future the League will carry

SUNDAY BASE BALL.
This is the heading given in recit
ing the recent contest in Mobile with
an Atlanta team. At least three
thousand people were present at this
Sunday afternoon’s pastime. The
game is a good one when not abused,
but used simply in manly, sport and
pleasant exercise. When, however,
it passes this boundary line and falls
into the bunds of professionals, pru
dence throws down the reins and li
cense takes them up. It is time then
to be doubly on guard, elsq, vyq .too
will fall into the excesses and end in
confusion.
Sunday Ruse Ball! How ni f e we
led along with the passing crowd and
almost unconsciously begin, to., take
part iu the evil. Three thousand in
Mobile to witness a Sunday game.
Twenty years ago the country was
shocked at military parades iu New
Orleans on Sunday, and at open
theatres, but the disease has spiYad
until many other centres pf popbln*
tion and of influence have beco!Q£.in»‘
fected and are spreading the eviL It
becomes us then to be tflHhc more
careful lest we too allo\V ourselves trt"
be drawn aside and become Subbgth
breakers and gamblers througR. this
liberty of ours. Keep t he - stream,
pure and life will be the result,‘^ol
lute it, death will ensue.

OUR OLD SOLDIERS. .
The $100,(KH) appropriated- by the,
legislature for the relief of the needy
veterans will not go far in that ^di
rection. Wo have entered the fourth -

is far preferable to care now for their-
craving necessities thap to erect
monuments to their memory after
they have passed away.
The circular issued by Comptroller
General Norton is timely. The great
rush after the pension moriey is piti
ful to behold. Either there is'grtolt
destitution among the old soldiers, or
there is lack of those finer feelings
which refine and ennoble. Not one
of these veterans should be allowed
to suffer. Perhaps the worthiest
and neediest will bo the last to inake
their wants known. Why not. es
tablish a soldier’s home? Here, none
should be turned away, but find a
resting place until life’s battles arc

COTTON SEED OIL MILL. ,
What has become of the project, to
build in Gaffney a cotton seed oil
mill? L'lfH winter it nearly material
ized. Can wo nor give It life now?
In many ways it will help oujf - town
and community; and we are admira
bly situated to gather the necessary
seed and distribute the product of the
mill.
At first the search was for oil.
While that continues the principal
product of an oil mill, It la far from
being all. Meal aud hulls have been
used so long and so successfully- ns
feed for stock that they are now a
necessity. Even farmers, far from
towiv, who have u plenty of cotton
and at one time felt they could
without them in feeding, have
irdod the seed for the meal and
en too the manufacture of ferti-
is a natural outgrowth of an
iill. And what place for Us size
uorc fertilizer than Gaffney!

We have never understood why
pplitical enmities should bring sus
picion upon the personal actions of
ifaeh. Senator Vest, of Missouri,
nevgr did and never will do u more
unworthy thing than when, in debate
fn.tho Senate some weeks ago, he
referred, with a sneer, to the Presi-
desit of the United States liuvlng
“laid Ji is honors at the feet of
Jesus.” It depends upon how one
looks at suoh things. The Observer,
for it^part, reads, . with emotions of
pleasure, .in its \Yashington special
of this morning, that Senator Butler
ha* fjxed his eye upon the wicket
gate and bus determined upon the
higher life. It is good Sunday
mornipy news for a paper to carry a

Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed, when tho languid
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alterative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
nore surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigest ion, Con
stipation, Dizziness yield to Electric
Bitters.* JiOe. and $1.00 per bottle at
