IMPORTANT. vVatch the date on your label and it you are in arrears call in and settle up. thus saving us the unpleasant duty of mailing you a notice inform ing you of that fact MR. HARDIN’S GRIEVANCES. We have been patiently waiting for Mr. Hardin to complete a list of his grievances in order that we might extend to him our sympathies, pay him our respects, or offer our con gratulations, as inclination or cir cumstances might demand. As the list promises now to be almost inter minable, we have concluded to wait no longer. Indeed we realize that we have already waited so long and the list has lengthened to such an extent, that we may have to reach the end of it by installments. We wish to say at the outset, by way of further preface, that our name is not on the bond given by certain citizens of Gaffney to secure the building of the court house and jail; we are not personally nor pecuniarily interested in the provisions of that bond, fur ther than any other citizen of Cher okee county may be; and, in discuss ing the issue raised by Mr. H irdin, we are prompted by no other motive than a desire to see justice and fair play afforded to all parties concerned. After reading Mr. Hardin’s letters and taking some pains to look into the facts and merits of the case we are constrained to think that Mr. Hardin has manufactured a man of straw for the purpose of frightening others, and the longer he has looked at it, the bigger it has grown in his own eyes, until now, he himself is worse frightened by it than anybody elev. The facts are that about sev enty of the citizens of Gaffney signed a bond for 115,000 to be applied in twelve years to the building of a court house and jail for the use of the county; that the trustees of this promised fund appointed by the peo ple of the county were required after wards by law to turn over their trust to the county commissioners ; and that the county commissioners afterwards agreed to accept the pres ent town hall and building lot for the jail in full payment of the said bond, provided that some reservations in the titles to the property should be removed, which was afterwards done by a special act of the legislature. The charges are that the property is not worth the amount of the bond ; that the town hall is not adapted to the purposes of a court house; and that the county commissioners had no right either in their capacity as representatives of the former board of trustees or as commissioners and and guardians of the interests of the county, to enter into this agreement. Now. if we remember correctly, Mr. Hardin bad a good deal to say about the duties, obligations, and legal responsibilities of trustees, and urged that the fact that this bond had been in the keeping of a board of trustees, imposed peculiar obligations on the board of commissioners. We cannot see how this could bo the case. The board of trustees had been abolished—in fact never would have existed, if there had been any county commissioners at the time it was constituted—and the fact that it had existed could not possibly im pose any new obligations. These commissioners are trustees for the county to the full extent of the word —that is what they are elected for— and it was their duty to manage this trust turned over to them by the trustees, just as they would manage any other interest of the county. But grant that they were still trus tees in the technical sense of the word, would that fact debar them from the privilege of exercising their best judgment and discretion in the management of that trust? A trus tee is responsible for bona fide man agement and that only. While a trustee may be rightly held to ac count for mismanagement that in jures his trust, there is no law that prevents him from going beyond the fltrict limitations of his obligations, when by so doing he can greatly ben- fit those for whom the trust is held. On the other hand, there is a law higher than all written laws that re quires him to do so. In ordinary cases the law would hold a trustee responsible for 7 per cent, interest on trust money. Suppose the trustee saw’ a chance of making 10 per sent, and of making it honestly. Wouldn’t good faitli and honesty require him to do it? Suppose he should make the 10 per cent, and because the law required only 7 per cent, of him, he should credit his trust fund with 7 per cent., and put the extra 3 per cent, into his own pocket? Would he not be a rascal? ^et the law of the state wouldn’t reach such a case as ti ls. Now wo believe that when our county commissioners agreed to ac cept the property in question, they were acting in good faith and for the best interests of the county at large, and we believe further that we can convince any reasonable, thinking, unprejudiced man, that it is the very best thing under the circumstances that can be done. We ask all to bear in mind that this bond was given by individual citizens and not by the town or any incorporation. Remember further, tout it is not secured by mortgage, or collaterals, not even a note, or any other kind of security that is likely to be permanent. Note still further that this bond has yet eleven years to run. Under the terms of the con tract, the county will be compelled tc use the town hall for eleven years to come. Now, let us try to take a plain, common sense, business view of the whole matter. Business principles are the same, whether applied to in dividuals or communities. On strict business principles we must count the present worth of that bond, which has eleven years to run. Let us say here, however, that there is not a bank in the United States that would negotiate for such a bond—not that the men whose names are on it are not men of integrity and good for their contracts, but be:ause it is subject to eleven years of uncertain ties. Who can tell what changes may take place in that time? Where these bondsmen and their families and their estates may be? We only know on general principles that great changes will come, but of what na ture they will be, or to what extent they will affect the validity of this bond, no man can tell. Here then is an element of uncertainty which is held in business and in morals to be a valid consideration. But we will suppose for a moment, for the sake of illustration, that there is no element of uncertainty in it, only the element of time. Then the bond would be negotiable, but not at its face value, but at its present worth. Time is as valid a considor- tion as uncertainty. The only diff erence is, there are degrees of uncer tainty and the consideration varies with every degree; time does not vary and the consideration is fixed and definite. The present value of that bond, discounted at bank for eleven years, at 8 per cent, is just $1,800. That is exactly hat the bond would bring provided it were in negotiable shape. But it is not in negotiable shape, and conse quently would not bring anything in the market. Now for this bond, worth, provided it were negotiable, just $1,800, the town of Gaffney steps in and offers to turn over to the county a building quite recently completed at a cost of $12,500 and a valuable corner lot on which it stands together with another lot conven iently located for the jail, all worth $13,500. As soon as this offer is made and the county commissioners, as any men of integrity and sound business judgment would do, agree to accept it, a hue and cry is raised that the county is being cheated and that Gaffney is violating her pledges. We asL the sober, thinking, unprej- udiced people of Cherokee county to Iook at these facts and figures and form their own conclusions. It seems to us that they cover the whole ground, vindicate tho county com missioners, exonerate the town of Gaffney, and settle tho whole ques tion. If the people of Cherokee county refuse to endorse the action of their commissioners they will do so in tho face of the simplest, plain est and broadest luisiness principles that the experience of mankind has ever formulated. There are some subsidiary facts to he mentioned and remembered. Before this agreement had been made with the commissioners, it hud been decided by those who had the mat ter m charge, to locate the jail in another part of the town, full three- quarters of a mile from the town hall. Now let the jail be put there, and don’t forget that the town hall must be used twelve years as a couit house. You would then have the court house and jail three-quarters of a mile apart for twelve years. Would not such an awkward arrange ment, interfere seriously with the proceedings of every court? It is thought by those familiar with courts, that such a condition would retard tho work,of the courts to the extent of one day in every session. Every day in the criminal court costs the county on an average about $200. So you would have thirty-six days in the twelve years that the county would pay for at the rate of $200 a day, $7,200, and all because the court house and jail were so far apart. This is all obviated in the present proposed arrangement. In the report of the grand jury, which, if not written by Mr. Hardin is certainly the product, of his influ ence, the jury enter an “earnest pro test against accepting the town hall and vacant lot,” because, “we con sider the hall insufficient for court purposes and we do not consider it worth the bond.” We think we have shown that it is worth far more than the bond is now on any principle of business that can be put into practical operation. We wish that the jury had told us in what respects the town hall is “insufficient for court house pur poses.” It is very easy to make broad assertions but we should like to have the details. It is true that it was not put up expressly for a court house, but it is certainly commodious enough for one, and with a few insignificant changes perhaps would be as good a one as any new county in tho state can have. There have already been sev eral sessions of court held in it, and this report of the grand jury contains the first complaint that we have heard of its “insufficiency.” The offices and jury rooms seem to answer every practical purpose, and if any county officer has complained of his quarters his complaints have cer tainly not reached the public ear. It has no lofty tower on it, like that which makes such Jan imposing ap pearance in Mr. Hardin’s picture, but we think none the less of it on that account. If a court house has any earthly use for a tower we are not able to tell what it is. We have said a good deal about, business principles. The question may be asked, why does Gaffney do such an unbuginess-like thing as to offer property worth $13,500 for a bond worth only $1,800. We reply, there is more in this matter to Gaff ney than business. Her honor is in volved, and she is trying to carry out. not the letter but the spirit of that bond. The whole spirit of that bond is that Gaffney shall furnish the court house and jail free of cost to the county. That is the sum and whole purpose of the bond. The amount was fixed only because some definite amount had to be named. Now, suppose the cost of building an-1 building material continues to go down as it has been doing, and eleven years hence a court house and jail sufficient for all purposes can be built lor one-half of what they will now cost? Will any sensible, reasonable man claim that Gaffney must still pay $15,000 for them, when only half the amount will be necessary? The town of Gaffney is now in close sympathy with the bondsmen, and wishes to carry out in good faith the spirit of their bond. Will the town government eleven years hence be actuated by tbo same motives? It is hardly probable. Then it is clear to all, except to those who will not see, that the best interests of the county demand that this whole mat ter should be settled now. e - - ■ to the enormous expense of equip- ing itself to do the work, and then the climax of outrage was reached when the legislative committee dis played its weakness of backbone by not giving the printing to tlie lowest bidder, according to the law the leg islature bud enacted and then the j legislature committed an outrage on itself by approving of the action of j the committee, thereby displaying the fact that it did not have the manhood to buck up its own work or that it had a woeful lack of the knowledge of that particular work. In the name of decency and common sense let the next legislature be com posed of men who know what they ure doing and who will have the grit to stick to a thing when they once (jo it. The Old and Young. I oau conceive of few sadder things in old age than being without younger persons who love us enough to correct us. Yes, correct us, neither more nor less than that, not rudely, of course, nor impertinently, nor in a nagging, disrespectful way, as disagreeable in the manner of the mother to the child as of the child to the mother, but who will correct us in a way which, violat ing no law of good breeding or courte sy, can yet keep us up to our own best mark. For the tendency of many of ns, when 70 is reached, is to let ourselves go to pieces. Wo can call it resting on our oars, or describe it with as picturesque a set of symbols as we chose. But for all that a man or woman comes to one of the great critical periods of life about the time that age is reached. They can then either sink under exist ing conditions, let every encroachment of age have its way, excusing them selves on the plea of years for every failure to meet them gracefully, or they can readjust themselves to the changes years have wrought and with renewed spirit go on, still young and still at tractive because still growing and still alive. And certainly tho most adorable old people are the old people who have met age in the latter way and who have kept themselves alive to the criticisms and suggestions of the young. “Have your children told yon yet that you turn out your toes?” said one middle aged parent, laughing, to another. Ilis laughter saved him. For all children, when first grown, become absorbed in their parents—it is a mark of their af fection—and they are more sensitive to their failures, peculiarities or virtues than to those of all tbo rest of the world. And certainly no sweeter sight is to bo found than that of young girls who arc interested in their father’s cravat, the latest cut of his vest or his looking his very best on all occasions. For though our fathers and mothers bring us up when a certain period is passed we turn about in all well reg ulated families and return the compli ment. Tho young educate tho old as surely as ouco tho old trained them, and tho really fascinating old person is enc who has submitted to tho process.— Harper’s Bazar. A Curlontty of Literature. An interesting phase of French libr ary enterprise is related by Lo Gau- lois as follows: Some months ago a Par is newspaper ordered a story of adven ture from a well known novelist Tho price agreed upon was 1 franc a line. The novelist straightway hunted up an old man of letters—tho unknown col laborator of many moro famous authors —who agreed to write the story for 25 centimes a line. When the work had reached its second part in the course of publication, tho novelist learned that his old client was seriously ill. Has tening to his bedside, ho found him dy ing. In agony for tho fate of his story, tho novelist rushed to tho office of the newspaper, got hold of some back num bers in order to pick up tho threads of tho romance and brought it to a speedy end in a few brief chapters. Then he went to the office with tho manuscript. “ What’s that?” asked the editor. “Why, tho continuation and cud of my story.” “Oh, then you want to change it, 1 suppose, because, you know, you sent in tho last chapters three days ago.” Admirable self ixissossiou on the part of tho novelist prevented disaster, and ho finally evolved this explanation: The old man, whoso price \.us 25 centimes a line, hud himself sublet his task to a third writer at 10 centimes, and thuii tho work had been finished in safety. How’s This! THE STATE PRINTING. The unmanly insinuations of some of the State press to the effect that the Messrs. Gonzales, of The State, had allowed themselves to be bought to support the present State admin istration by promises of patronage for their paper and printing plant could not have emanated from an un biased mind which has the slightest acquaintance with these gentlemen. This whole state printing business lias been a disgrace to the intelligence and the legislative ability of the State for years, and the recent transactions along that lino have not been less shameful than any of those of tho past seven years. In the first place it wan wrong to give the printing to The Register, for political reasons, then it was wrong to take the public printing from The Register in tho manner in which it was done and afterwards it was wrong to take it from Mr. G. B. Calvo aftar he had put The State Publishing Company Th« Sleep IrrenUtlble. “Whoever sits down,” said Dr. So- lanch r to his company among tbo hills of Tierra del Fuego, “will sleep, and whoever deeps will wake no more.” The bravo doctor and his men had tramped a considerable distance through tho nwanips, when the weather became suddenly colder and fierce blasts of wind drove tho snow before it. In a short time the cold became so intense ns to cause tho most oppressive drowsi ness. Dr. Solander was tho first to find tbo inclination to sleep too irresistible for him, and ho insisted upon lying down. In vain his ccmpauionsentreated and remonstrated. He lay down, and when told that he would inevitably freeze to death answered that ho desired nothing more than to lio down and die. One of the black servants laydown also. Solander declared himself willing to go on, but begged to bo allowed to sleep first, and in a few minutes tho two me n wero in a profound sleep. Soon after, those who had been sent forward to kindle a fire returned with the welcome news that tho fire awaited them at a short distance. Tho men happily suc ceeded in awakening Solander, who, although bo had not been asleep five minutes, bad almost lost tbc uso of his limbs, and tho flesh was so shrunken that liis shoes fell from his feet. It was with much urging and assistance that he consented to go on, hut all attempts to rouse tho black man wero futile, and ho was left to die.

Writers of historical reminiscences have to be masters of a certain amount of accurate information about their heroes if they wish to avoid mistakes. If they are not, they aro sure to “get things mixed. ” Not long since a reviewer in the Lon don Times, writing of n book named ‘Roving Commissions,” r*luted on his own account tbo following episodo of Nelson, tho great admiral: “While in chase of Villenenve’s French fleet he was informed of the enemy heaving in sight, at which in formation Nelson evinced the highest satisfaction and gleefully rubbed his bauds. ” As a correspondent of Tho Times points out, this incident occurred in 1805. Nelson lost bis right arm in tbc attack on Santa Cruz, Tenerife, in 1797 —eight years prior to his pursuit of Villeneuve's fleet. It would have been, therefore, a difficult matter for him to "rub his hands” in 1805.
