OUR FIFTH BIRTHDAY.
With this issue of The Ledger it
begins its fifth year. During the
four years that have passed since its
establishment it has appeared 209
times, never having missed a single
issue. It was started at a time when
many similar attempts to rur a news
paper in Gaffney had failed, and some
judicious men thought that the jour
nalistic capacities of Gaffney and the
surrounding country were not suffi
cient to justify the outlay necessary
to run a paper on the scale which
The Ledger proposed to run. But
the paper was established, and it
has never for one day been in peril.
It's success was assured from the
very start, and its course has been
steadily onward and upward. It has
steered clear of all bitterness and
partisan strife and put forth its best
efforts towards the upbuilding of ali
the best interests of our community,
and we have today every reason to
believe that those efforts have been
appreciated.
We have a bona fide circulation
now of 1,500, and our subscription
list is steadily increasing. Our ad
vertising patronage, too, has been
liberal, and the paper today is on a
broad and sure foundation. We do
pot b*?U<?ve in boating of what wc
have done in the past nor In making
extravagant promises for the future.
We thank our friends sincerely for
the steady support and encourage
ment which they have given us, and
we hope that we shall be able to give
them better services during the
years to come than we have done in
those that are past.
HEALTH AND LONG LIFE.
However in hours of disappoint
ment and gloom, we may talk about
life’s not being worth the living, yet
the fact remains that the vast ma
jority of mankind desire to live, and
to live as long as possible. When a
man begins to realize that his bodily
powers are on the wane, that the op
portunities of life are closing, that
his best days arc* now all in the past,
and that but little now remains for
him but to join
•‘The Innumerable caravan that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each shall
take
Ills chamber In the silent halls of death,"
no matter how pure his life may have
been, nor how strong may be his faith
in a future life of uninterrupted hap
piness, he would gladly delay his de
parture if he could, and find some way
“to husband out life’s taper at the
close.” Unfortunately this anxiety
to prolong earthly existence does not
usually become strong until one has
reached a point too near the end for
the means which he would find to
have their full effect. To the young
and vigorous, the years to come seem
almost interminable; it is only when
those years have vanished like a
dream, and the man awakes some
fine morning to the fact that fifty or
sixty of them have passed that he
begins to look upon the finale with
real anxiety.
But even then he finds great diffi
culty in fully realizing the fact that
he is an old man and appreciating
the importance of modifying his
habits and adapting himself to chang
ed conditions. He is unwilling to
acknowledge even to himself, that he
cannot do as he has always done.
He has always braved the weather
with impunity; he has eaton what he
wanted, and as much as he wanted;
he has been accustomed to perform
feats of strength, and even of violent
physical exertion whenever occasion
demanded ; and he looks with a sort
of contempt upon the younger men
around him who have less strength
and endurance than he has. Nature
warns him in vain that his recupera
tive powers are not what they have
been, and observant friends remon
strate equally to no purpose. He
persists in disregarding all warning,
and by and by overtaxes his strength
or endurance, and cuts off ten to
twenty years of life.
We verily believe that this is a cor
rect history of the majority of thqse
who die in the early periods of old
age. When a man roaches sixty and
finds himself in ordinary health, he
has positive evidence of a sound con
stitution and strong vitality; and
with proper care, there is no palpa
ble reason why ho may not enjoy the
pleasure of a green old age and reach
his three score and ten, or oven his
fouif-score years. The limit of three
score years and ten was fixed in a
semi-harbarous age, before men had
learned anything about the science
of living. Notwithstanding the strain
of modern life and the many exact
ing demands made on the vital pow
ers by modern civilization, it is a
fact that the average of human life
is gradually lengthening. Whatever
we may think of the men of more
primitive times, the conditions of
life to-day are more favorable to lon
gevity than they were then. King
David is represented as dying literal
ly and solely of old age; yet King
David was only about seventy-two,
fifteen years youngerjthan Gladstone,
and more than twenty years younger
than Peter Cooper when he died.
Dr. Thomas Dick, who wrote over
fifty years ago, noted the gradual in
crease in the length of human life,
and predicted that the time will come
again on this earth, when as a result
of the progress of medical science,
and a knowledge of the laws of hy
giene human life may he protracted
to the limits of the lives of the pa
triarchs, and even beyond.
A question of overwheming impor
tance to the young as well as the old.
is how to live and act so as to con
tribute most to vigorous health and
least to the jenervation of the vital
powers. The man or the woman
who pays due and intelligent regard
to this question, and pays it in time,
will, on general principles, be re
warded with the enjoyment of a long
and happy life.
The importance of this question is
clearly indicated in the saying “sick
ly people live a long time.” Dr. Hall,
the editorof Hall’s Journal of Health,
mentions this saying, and adds that
it contains much truth. The expla
nation of the paradox is to he found
in the fact that as soon as a man dis
covers that he is sickly he will begin
to husband his resources, and to
obey as ivell as ho can, the laws of
health, and this obedience, imperfect
as it may be, will keep the machinery
of life from stopping. Most of us
have known persons of feeble, diseas
ed bodies to live on through decades
that swept thousands of the hale and
hearty to untimely graves. We re
member a few years ago to have been
surprised when talking with a portly,
fresh looking octogenarian, we learn
ed that during his youth and early
manhood he had been the sickly one
of a large family, too frail and deli
cate to work or to give promise of
accomplishing anything in life. Our
surprise was diminished when we
learned that throughout his long life
he had been a man of simple temper
ate habits and of great equanimity of
disposition. In short he had merely
clung through life to the habits
which he had been forced by his con
dition in youth to form.
The lesson from such examples is
plain. You will find all of our
octogenarians men of simple habits—
men who through life, have held a
strong rein on the appetites and pas
sions, and who have expended their
energies and vftal forces with the
same caution, care and economy that
they have exercised in spending.thcir
money.
WorK, either physical or mental,
does not hurt anybody. It is a law
of our being. It is excessive, inju
dicious work that shortens life; while
anxiety is the friction that wears out
the machinery. We believe, too,
that there are more human bones
mouldering under the dinner table
than on any battle field of human
history.
But we have not space to discuss
this subject fully. Indeed no rules
can be formulated that will apply to
to individual cases. Every man
must, more or less, be a law unto
himself. In the matter of diet. What
is one man’s food is another man’s
poison. But it is an easy matter for
a man to keep an eye on himself and
to note the effects of different arti
cles of food on his system, both as to
quality and quantity. If he is wise
he will do this, and profit by his
knowledge.
BREADTH OR DEPTH.
In a recent issue of the Union
Times, the editor of that paper deliv
ered himself of the following:
"If thero U anythin* that this State d< e4
need at this time It Is broad-minded, libera
men of culture. Oh! for u rest from nar
row-minded bigots! It almost seems to us,
and we hate to make the assertion
that the denominational institutions
of learning In tills fctate ara about as
great a clog to progress as anything in it
They have a great many good, learned, true
men connected with them, and they send
out to the world some few of the above kind,
hut the annual crop of bigots that they turn
out every summer, we fear, more than coun
terbalances the good ones. * * * The
great majority of these graduates return to
their people with narrow and perverted
ideas, and instill them into others. We want
Urst-class State Institutions of learning
that will graduate men of broad UImtuI
minds, that by their daily lives will preach
the creed that by the grace of God all men
can be saved and by that alone.
Away with narrow-minded religious fanat
ics and bigots, they give us the hiccoughs.
There Is no truer sign of ignorance, and
their presence Is a crying need for higher
and more liberal education."
If we remember correctly, the above
mentioned editor has frequently
heretofore aired such doctrines in
his paper and exhibited himself to
the admiring gaze of the public, as a
man of too broad and liberal views to
be a member of any church. We are
inclined to think that our esteemed
contemporary in taking his own
measurements for the information of
the public, has got his dimensions
mixed, and has unconsciously substi
tuted breadth for depth.
If there is any organization among
men broader in its spirit than a
Christian church, we have never yet
heard of it. In its plans and purpo
ses, hopes and aspirations, it takes in
the whole world, all time, all eternity.
The mightiest earthly kingdom, must
of necessity, perform its operations
within certain geographical boun
daries and in limited periods of time.
The humblest Christian church is
not hampered by any limits either of
space or time. If our esteemed con
temporary spread himself out until
he shall bo broader than this, he
will reach such a degree of tenuity
that a hundred fold multiplication of
him will fail to conjure up the ghost
of a shadow. We advise nim to turn
his tape line downwards and measure
his depth. We think if he will, he
will find thr.t he has been dealing
with the wrong dimension. That
our denominational colleges are
turning out an annual crop of
bigots, we emphatically deny; and
our contemporary’s admission that
they send out “some few” good, learn
ed, and true men. does not save his
declaration from being a groundless
and unwarranted aspersion. They
are the only colleges that can con
sistently teach “that by the grace of
God all men can he saved, and by
that alone;” and if such a doctrine is
ever taught in a State college, it is
done by some individual teacher on«
his own responsibility, and he has
received his inspiration, not from the
State, but from those same influences
that pervade the denominational col
leges. The State, as such, knows
nothing of God, much less of His
grace.
ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK.
The work of the Legislature is
ended and the members will ail prob
ably reach their homes today.- The
tangible results of the session can be
summed up in a few words. The tax
levy has been raised to 5 mills, the
appropriations have been made in
full, the liquor question is about
where it was, except that three coun
ties have been exempted from the
operations of the dispensary law,
some sort of a county government
bill has been passed from which
Cherokee county is exempt; there
has been the usual amount of wrang
ling over the Jim Crow car bill, and
this, that, and the other, and the
session has cost the tax payers over
$50,000. If there is anything In the
result worth one-tenth of the money
it has cost, we cannot see it. We
favor a biennial session, and we favor
that only as a stepping stone to quad
rennial, and that as a further step
ping stone to sexcennial sessions.
There is more money in the poul
try business in the United States
than there is in the cotton crop;
and in addition to money there are
other things in it which money can
not buy. Our experience is that the
fine large breeds do not pay, except
in the way of crossing with the com
mon stock, and in having a few of
them to look at. They are lazy and
thriftless, scanty layers and Indiffer
ent mothers. The best results are to
be obtained by keeping a rooster of
the large breeds to about every
twelve common hens, and in order to
do this, you must raise a few of the
pure breeds or buy a rooster every
year or two.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The State Senate has refused to
repeal the antl-free pass law by a de
cided majority. So we shall proba
bly hear little more of free passes till
another session of the legislature.
| Why a large number of the members
of the house are so restless under
this law wo can account for only on
the hypothesis of greed and selfish
interest. They claim that this law
is a standing reflection upon their
honor. Just so. and the more’s the
pity. They should remember that
the average politician’s honor, in
these degenerate times, is not exactly
of that type which is “as pure us er
mine and will not bear a stain.”
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
The Senate did right, too, in re
fusing to endorse the cut made by
the house in the appropriation to the
South Tarolina College. We think
that the State is overloaded with
colleges, and that one college prop
erly equipped could do all the work
that the three are doing, and do it at
one half the expense to the people.
But if we must have these Col
leges we believe in giving them
support sufficient to warrant and de
mand the highest degree of efficiency;
and when the time comes to kill one
or more of them let’s put them to
death by a more humane mode than
that of slow starvation.
Minister DeLome, who with great
ability has long represented the gov
ernment of Spain at Washington,
wrote a letter to a friend in which he
spoke of President McKinley as “a
low politician, seeking to keep in
fa or with the jingoes of his party.”
Somehow the letter got into print
and as apologies were not in order,
the haughty minister was compelled
to pack his trunk and go where he
can say what he pleases about Presi
dent McKinley. In the meanwhile the
relations of the two governments are
not interrupted, and the sun rises
and sets as usual.
February has brought a fine spell
of weather for farm work. We hope
the farmers have taken advantage
of it to sow a largo ar^a of their cot
ton lands in oats. According to our
observation and experience oats sown
on pretty good land in February will
give a surer and better yield than
those sown in the fall or at arty other
time of the year. They may not
grow so high nor be so heavy as the
fall cats, bpt they will escape the
effects of the winter freezes, and you
will he almost sure to have a good
stand.
According to Senator Archer of
Spartanburg, Clemson College re
ceived last year $102,000, and Wic-
throp $77,000. It costs somebody
$2G3 per capita for every student in
Clemson and $237 in Winthrop. A<-
cording to Winthrop’s catalogue, a
girl who takes the full course there
will have to pay herself from $180
to $200. Are we to add this amount
to the $237? We soon get lost wiien
we begin to deal with figures repre
senting the money voted away by our
law makers.
Senator Tillman’s plan to have
congress pass a law allowing the
State to prohibit the original pack
age men from operating within our
borders, has failed. His hill was
killed by a tie vote in committee, and
cannot now get before congress ex
cept by unanimous consent, which
cannot possibly be obtained. So the
o. p.’s must not be disturbed, and
the whole liquor question is in a
muddle.
The news comes from Boston that
the most gigantic strike over seen on
this continent is being organized
among the cotton mill operatives,
It will effect 147,000 operatives and
stop every cotton mill in New Eng
land. This in the land of free
achools, free transportation, free
books and compulsory education.
The Tempi* of Solomon.
A noted statistician and investipator
who has lots of time for such work has
been doing some figuring on the cost
of tho temple of Solomon, cays tho Phil
adelphia Record, and says few people
even iu these days of palmy extrava
gance and millionaire display have an
adequate impression of the enormous
cost of tho great temple. According to
Villalpaudus, tho “talents” of gold, sil
ver and brass were equal to the enor
mous sum of £0,879,822,000. The worth
of the jewels is placed at a figure equal
ly as high. The Teasels of gdd, accord
ing to Josephus, were valued at M0,000
•talents, which, reduced to English mon
ey, was equal to £57'), 290,203. Tho ves
sels of silver, according to tho same au
thority, wero still more valuable, being
set down as worth £646,344,000; priests’
vestments aud tho robes of singers, £2 -
010,000, and the trumpets, £200,000.
To this add tho expense of the build
ing material, labor, etc., aud some wou-
derful figures result. Ten thousand men
hewing cedars, 00,000 bearers of bur
dens, 80,000 hewers of stone, overseers,
all of whom were employed for seven
years and upon whom, besides their
wages, Solomon bestowed £6,783,970.
If their daily food was worth 50 cents
each, the sum total for all was £03,-
877,088 during the time of building.
Tho materials iu the rough are estimat
ed as having been worth £2,545,337,-
000. This gives a total just for this
much of the expense, which by no
means expresses tho whole cost, of £10,-
719,760,201, or about £52,117,084,867.-
40.
Both Made tho Same.
Frank L. Stanton says that on one
occasion when William Hamilton
Hayne was visiting Samuel Mintum
Peck at tho latter’s home in Tuskalcosa
the two poets strolled into tho Woods
and paused to rest beneath the shadows
of the pines. “Hero are your favorite
pines, Harne, ” said Peck. “Let’s dream
a few poems beneath them.” The lan
guid summer day had its effect on them,
aud they were soon snoring and dream
ing away. But suddenly both awoke
aud started down the home road at top
speed, shouting as they ran. An army
of yellow jackets had discovered them,
and, not being partial to poetry, had
forcibly and feelingly resented its intru
sion on their domain. Later, at supper,
Peck asked, “Did you make a poem,
Hayne?”
.“No,” was the meek reply. “I made
a poultice.” 1
“So did I,” said Peck.
Worn Out?

Do you come to the close of
the day thoroughly exhausted?
Does this continue day after
day, possibly week after week?
Perhaps you are even too ex
hausted to sleep. Then some
thing is wrong. All these
things indicate that you are
suffering from nervous ex
haustion. Your nerves need
feeding and your blood en

The habit of stooping over when read
ing or writing has a Lad effect on most
eyes and should be avoided, especially
if one is nearsighted. When people ap
proach tho ago of 40, the morning paper
is apt to appear blurred, and they com
plain tho printing is getting bad. Tho
trouble is they need glasses. If they do
not get them, later cu their eyes will de
teriorate so rapidly they will be obliged
to wear them all the time. On the other
baud, if a person puts on glasses when
tho first warning of “tired eyes” is re
ceived ho will never be obliged to wear
them tho rest of his life except when
doing fine work.
