THE OLD AND THE NEW.
Before this issue of The Ledger
shall have reached its most distant
readers, the Christmas holidays will
be over and the ye:ir of 1897 will be
numbered with the years that are
gone.
These Christmas days have brought
with them songs of mirth and shouts
of joy. bright festivities and happy
reunions of family and friends long
separated and scattered by tha stern
decrees of duty and the inexorable
inundates of destiny. They have
brought, too, in their train, sad to
say, bacchanalian orgies with their
usual tributes of crime, but they
have brought cheer to the true
hearted, relaxation to the weary,
new pledges of friendship to friends
and of love to lovers. The world, on
the whole, is the better and the
stronger for their coming.
In the struggles of the year that is
closing, many hearts have grown
cold; many family ties have been
weakened by absence and neglect;
many true friends have become luke
warm in the strain of life—in the
cares and anxieties and heavy bur
dens that the thick-coming days
have brought with them.
It was meet that there should
come a time for hearts to leap again
with the old love, for business cares
to be thrown to the winds, and for all,
rich and poor, old and young, to meet
cheer with cheer and to open their
hearts to the inspiration of Him
whose nativity these days were de
signed to celebrate and whose com
ing was heralded by the angels with
the proclamation of, ‘‘peace on earth
and good will towards men.”
That was a beautiful thought
wb’cb inspired the ancient Gertpans
io institute a season of festivities at
the time of the winter solstice, in
honor of the return of the fiery sun
wheel and the awakening of the
world to new life. To those simple
children of nature, the life of the
world had declined us the sun wheel
had rolled southward, and now when
it had reached- the {farthest point
south and had started to roll back,
giving promise of revivifying cold
dead nature and of imparting new
life and hope to man, it was beauti*
fully appropriate that there should
be a season of festive rejoicing, dur
ing which animosities were buried,
wrongs were forgotten, and all the
noblest feelings of the human heart
were called into full exercise.
The spirit of the Yule feast was
transferred in later times to our
Christmas, and may that spirit never
die! May it live with all its pleasing
superstitions clustering around the
purer and nobler spirit of Christianity
to cheer and bless the weary sons
and daughters of earth on each re
turning year, with the renewal of a
purer and nobler life than was ever
dreamed of by the simple children of
the olden times.
And, now, to the readers of The
Ledger, we bring good cheer and
cordial greetings. The year bra
brought us many trials, but we have
survived them all. The times are
hard, but they might be much hard
er. As the fiery sun wheel turns
again towards the northern climes,
he will not in all his blazing course
light up a fairer land than this God-
given country of ours. Let us prove
ourselves worthy of the rich heritage.
What if the times he hard? Heart
and soul, a chastened love and a
strong will are superior to all times;
and to the true, the faithful and the
brave, there are aiways better things
in the future than the past has ever
known. Let us look forward then,
not backward; up, not down. It is
only the earth that whirls and rocks
and changes; the heavens, like Him
who made them, are without varia
bleness or shadow’ of turning.” 1 lie
old year is dying. Let prejudice,
and envy and malice, let the memory
of hardships and trials and wrongs
all die with it and ho buried forever.
The new year Is dawning. Let new
hopes and fresh courage spring up in
our hearts and loftier ideals take
shape in our visions, and let us all
move forward with purer motives
and a stronger faith, “forgetting the
things that are behind,” and pressing
on to nobler and better things than
we found in the old year that Is dy
ing.
THE GREATEST OF THE GRACES
We have before us a set of resolu
tions passed by the Buffalo Baptist
church censuring one of our corres
pondents for some of his articles in
which it is claimed he reflected on
the church and some of its members.
When the resolutions were brought
in we promised to publish them, hut
after the second thought we have de
cided not to do so and to ask the
church to relieve us of that promise,
as we deem that it will only give
prominence to a matter which had
best be kept within the confines of
the church. We have been taught
that of the three graces Charity* was
the greatest, so we will endeavor to
be charitable enough to attribute the
motive of the correspondent to he
none other than amusement and the
motive of the church to he none
other than duty and advise that both
extend the right hand of fellowship
and forgive each other. With this
we dismiss the mutter.
WIFE BEATING.
For some time we have been hear
ing of an occasional case of wife
beating. To us there are few crimes
so revolting, and it is proper that
this State, at once, provide adequate
punishment for it. If the life of the
brute who would beat the wife of his
bosom and the mother of his chil
dren, should he spared, he should
receive many stripes at the hands of
the law. Let the lash be the punish
ment for this inhuman crime, then
there will be less of it, and those
that duty and law will not restrain
will be compelled to carry on their
backs the marks of their crime
whibh will ever remind them of it,
and advertise them to the world as
tiie villanous beasts that they are.
Wk publish in another column a
Utter from Mr. N. W. Hardin, of
Blacksburg, in relation to the meet
ing held in this city on September 1,
1890. What Mr. Hardin’s object can
be in making an effort at this day to
create discontent is more than we can
see. It does seem to us that matters
have assumed good shape and that
the pending settlement of the vexed
cpvirt hovee question is the best so
lution of the matter possible and we
believe wise men without axes to
grind will agree with us.
The sixteen page issue of The
State on the 22nd of December was a
credit to the management and a val
uable expose of the enterprise of Co
lumbia and South Carolina. Its ed
itorial in its Christmas day edition is
a gem unsurpassed and not ap
proached by any thing among the
many Christmas edi'onals that we
have seen.

The portions of our streets that
have been macadamized, havettiod
the rain and freezes of the winter.
They prove the wisdom of the city
council and should move them to
further effort along the same line.
The Christmas edition of The Co
lumbia Register shows the possibili
ties of newspaper work in South
Carolina, does credit to the manage
ment and is new evidence of its en
terprise.

PRESS OPINION.
After all, even five cents cotton, In
a land where cowpeas and sweet po
tatoes are, is better than nuggets of
gold in the abode of starvation. Let
us take heart—we are envied of Klon-
dikers.—Columbia State.
“They say it cost Mark Hanna
half a million dollars to carry Ohio
in the last election.” says the Augus
ta Chronicle. How much did it cost
Pat Walsh to carry Augusta, contem
porary, you ought to know that with
out any hearsay?—Sumter Herald.

John Gary Evans is married at
last. On the loth he and Miss Emily
Pume were united at Waterburv,
Conn. The newspapers have really
been able to report his marriage this
time and that is one job of! their
hands which has been troubling them
for some time.—Darlington news.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The most encouraging part of this
wave of prosperity, says the St Paul
Dispatch, lies in the fact that the
man who wants a job is more likely
to get it than is the gentleman who
is looking for a position, and that
wages are experiencing a greater re
lative advance than salaries.—
Charleston Critic.
President McKinley and his cabinet
have decided upon a hands-off policy
in thedismembermentofChina. That
is the right attitude for the United
States. Let us avoid all entangling
alliances. But just us sure as we an

China, we are eventually going to get

Our friends of the Greenwood Jour
nal are offering three months sub
scription to all couples who commit
matrimony before the 1st of January,
1898. We are sorry that we will be
unable, in our case, to call on the
Journal to make good its offer, but
at the same time wo commend its
laudable desire to encourage the “in
fant” industries of Greenwood coun
ty.—Greenwood Index.
The cotton mill operatives in New
England, it appears, are the victims
of misplaced political affection and
confidence. The Manchester, N. H.,
Union, says of them: “They are
good Republicans, as a rule, and
ought not to mind a litt.'e cut in
wages, as long as the country at larj.'e
is blessed with McKinley prosperity
in all its effulgence.”—News and

General Debility
and Loss of Flesh
Scott's Emulsion has been the
standard remedy for nearly a
quarter of a century. Physicians
readily admit that they obtain re
sults from it that they cannot get
from any other flesh-forming food.
There are many other prepara
tions on the market that pretend
to do what
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
does, hut they fail to perform it.
The pure Norwegian Cod-liver Oil
made into a delightful cream, skill
fully blended with the Hypophos-
phites of Lime and Soda, which
are such valuable tonics,
makes this preparation an
ideal one and checks the
wasting tendency, and the
E " nt almost immediate-
>mmenees to put on
and gain a strength
which surprises them.

Overeating.
The dictum that while civilized man
cannot live without dining he might
live a good deal longer w ithout so much
dining—or, rather, without diniqg so
extensively—may be accepted without
any reservation. A celebrated physician
once said that ho had been convinced hy
circumstances that had come under his
notice iu the course of his gxperienco
that more mischief in the form of dis
ease has accrued to civilized man from
erroneous habits in eating than from
alcoholic drink. He also declared him
self in doubt whether improper and in
ordinate eating were not us great evils
as inordinate drinking. Many of our
best known medical men say that the
habit of overeating is at the bottom of
most troublesome diseases. There is no
doubt that the habit is most ofteu con
tracted iu childhood.
There are many mothers who feed
their babies us often as they cry, talking
it for grunted that the baby cries for
food, when more often the helpless lit
tle creature is crying because it has al
ready had too much food. When tho
stomach once becomes accustomed to
being crowded with food, if tho supply
is cut short there is at first a gnawing
sensation that is frequently mistaken
for hanger. If people who experience
this will only, persevere a little longer
in their abstinence, they will find them
selves greatly benefited by it.—Now-'

Audience Couldn't Stand tho Raise.
Several years ago there was a local
campaign in Richmond county. A col
ored preacher was addressing an audi
ence of uugro voters, end the whites
wore smiling approval. “Fellow citi
zens,” said the eloquent divine, “would
you sell your vote for $1?” “No,”
thundered 300 denizens of Rabbit Hill,
and tho shock could bo felt a mile.
“Fellow citizens,” shouted the orator,
nearing to his climax, “would you sell
your vote for #5?” The response was
still creditably in tho negative, but not
so large as befora Several times he call
ed on the crowd, carrying them through
tho rising figures of vote value, but as
tho amounts increased the protests drop
ped off. Finally, when the minister
asked if any man in the crowd would
sell his vote for $20, the silence was
appalling and tho air at tho recording
desk felt like two icebergs had met in
the sea after sundown. The point is
that there is a limit to oratorical cli
max, and it is better not to go too far
even with an excited audience.—Savan
nah Press.
Don’t be persuaded into buying
liniments without reputation or
merit—Chamberlain’s Pain Balm
costs no more, and its merits have
been proven by a test of many years.

Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, and I say
so after having used it in my family

The Quaker Charm.
Tho Quaker rule has been called in
human because it proscribed innocent
amusements and repressed tho desire of
the yenng fer healthy expansion. All I
know Is that as I saw aud felt the in
fluence of this rule it affected tho child
ish imagination with an infinite awe,
an infinite respect, a perfect human
calm. The hushed decorum of tho house
hold, the ciders, grave, silent, hut just
and kind, with an unassuming but un
broken kindness, the absenCo of anger,
ill temper, jealousy, mockery, resent
ment—and yet I have seen such bursts
of feeling, too, quivering with, oh, such
sorrow aud pain—the spotless dress,
tho formal speech, the very neatness of
tho house furniture, preserved, quaiut,
spotless, unharmed for generations—all
these things separated the childish
mind from tho world that *9 fabled to
call so strongly to the caged bird; sep
arated it, satisfied it, filled it with an
awestruck insuperable love of home.
Tho world might stir at times an ob
scure thrill of curiosity, of envy, or of
longing, hut that the temptation could
endure long if it called the adolescent
away from such a home was well nigh
impossible.
And not yet have I named tho stron
gest influence that kept him then)—his
Quaker mother’s eyes. Whatever else
the claim of the Quakeress to beauty,
and often sho has no more than a
healthy color aud a homely pleasant
ness of feature, one loveliness sho rare
ly lacks—a broad, peaceful brow, aud
eyes of a still serenity that has no
name. Aud to her child she does not
speak reproof, warning, sympathy and
love, out looks them with these eyes,
which speak the sorrow, tho patience
and the peace of heaven itself. To of
fend against them is impossible.—
