Watch the date on your label and tt 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. A FACT WITH A MORAL. If we remember correctly, the Na tional Bank of Gaffney in its last statement, reported deposits to the amount of fj'G'i.OOH. This is a fine showing for a liank that had been operating only one year on a capital of only $.')<).(HXL Besides the National Bank we have the private bank of A. N. Wood, which holds deposits to a large amount. This is a fine showing, too, for the amount of idle capital in Cherokee cour.ty. But what does it show for the general conditions of the people? The greater part by far of these de posits was driven into the banks by the dread <tf scarcity and hard times. Just raise the cry of hard times all over the land any day, and hard times will omne. Every dollar that can possibly be spared w-ill be with drawn from circulation and deposited in a bank, or hidden away in some secret drawer, and this, too, at a time when every dollar is most needed to bear its part in relieving,present nec essity and in bracing up .public confi dence. In the meanwhile, the croak ers croak till they are exhausted; the peotple, somehow, icanage to get along,; the panic diesindts incipiency ; and then, like frightened birds that have squatted close to the earth, to escape the swoop of the hungry hawk, the money hoarders begin slowly to raise their heads and look out upon the surroundings to see if the danger is past. After assuring thettiselves of this fact, they again put their money intoicirculation and the world moves on. H«w all this reveals human nature and reminds us of the ways of the world an general! W.« do not scout the idea of true, disinterested friend ship. That there is such a thing we have abundant reasons to know, but, ninety per cent of friends in general, are of the sunshine and holi day order. When most needed they are hardest to find; when not needed at all, they buz/ along our pathway like beee among the May-day flowers, and like .bees still, when the clouds begin to gather, they »fiy away to the hive and Jude themsekres in the in ner cells until the^sun shall shine out bright and warm again. As Dr. Johnson truly intimates in his indig nant letter to Lord Chesterfield, they quietly look on while you are strug gling in the waters, aril when you reach ground they incumber you with help. The lesson to the young is, that they must depend on their own un aided exertions to give tham position, honor and fortune in life. If success crown their efforts, they will have plenty of ftieads to rejeice with them. If failure be their Jot, even after long and patient efTixrt, they will still hare the proud consciousness of manhood or of womanhood dwelling within them—a possession which friends cannot give, nor hypocrites take away. ROOM AT THE TOP. It is the general impression that the professions are all crowded, and ao they are—at the bottom. The mass of mankind are content to plod along the dusty highways of life without casting even a longing look up to the clearer, purer regions that encircle the table lands above. The masses are struggling on the same plane, and the struggle is a hard one. He who fights the battle of life on the common level, fights not for vic tory but for existence, and he must be content if lie holds his ground. He may expect to be crowded. While he is preparing to step into the wa ters, which have been troubled by the angel, ten to one another will step in before him, for he is surround ed by millions possessing the eamo needs and struggling for the same ends as himself. He is a sufferer, but neither a hero nor a martyr. The martyr gives his life for a cause which he deems worthy of it, an 1 the hero climbs the heights and plants his feet firmly on ground not trodden by the surging masses and wrtth an unyielding foun dation and plenty of elbow room, he makes his blows tell. Boys and girls if you would not be “dumb driven cattle,” herded and jostled in the low-lands of life, you must climb the mountain peaks that kiss the skies above you. ^ ou will not be crowded and outwitted and underbidden thexo; there is plenty of room up there, and none but the true and brave ever tread those heights. To abandon figurative and to speak in plain language, it does seem to us that there never has been a time when superior abilities were so much in demand in every department of life as they are to-day. The number of men in political life that rise above mediocrity are few. Ignorance shows its brazen face in the halls of legislation, and pettifoggers, and even illiterates are elevated to high places of trust and responsibility. The times call loudly for men of ex alted character, pure patriotism and towering ability, but they don't answer. In the professions, in business, in every employment and avocation, tho lower rounds of the ladder are crowded and the upper ones are scarcely occupied. We can find any number of positions lor young men and women of first rate ability and uncompromising integrity. These positions are hunting for such occu pants, while the common crowd are begging for positions and often beg ging in vain. (. 1 1 . J! APPOINTIMiE NEGROES. The last session of the Legislature passed a resolution providing fora Commission to be appointed by tUr Governor to Inquire into the practibility of establishing a reforma tory for youthful criminals. Governor Ell- erhe lias appointed on this commission Richard Carroll, a negro. We raise much caiii about RepublUmns appointing negroes, wliy not eall down a Democratic Governor when he appoints negroes? Yes, why not?— Saluda Advocate. Has our esteemed contemporary ever considered Richard Carroll’s fit ness for the position to which he was appointed? lHas it even considered that Carroll was the creator of that commission? True, Carroll has a black skin, but beneath that ebony hue lies a heart evidently as true and patriotic as-ever beat in man’s breast and instead of censuring our governor for this appointment he should be applauded for his good judgement. We do not advocate the appointment of negroes to office, but if their char acter and ability fit them for the position color should not be the grounds upon which we condem the appointing power. L 1 - ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK. It is much easier to be critical than to be correct. UteuiiERAffE long on that wfc&eh y<m can do but once. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The crutch of time does more than the dub of Hercules. We soon live down both evil and good report, if undeserved. •♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ There is a gift beyond the reach .©f art—of being eloquently silent. ♦ Cejremonies are different in dilfeir- ent countries and even in different coin[nunities, but true politeness is everywhere the same. The Columbia Register recently rebuked the News and Courier for an | offence against good English and, in so doing, committed itself a greater one. Ho true it is, .that it is easier to teach twenty men what were good to be done than to be one of the twenty to follow jour own teaching. ♦ ♦ ♦ Read the account of “Wild John Starnes” printed in another column. Such a freak of nature carries us buck to primitive times, to the cave dwellers and mound builders. The facts told by our correspondent are undeniable, and “Wild John" is some 10,000 years behind the age. It has been absolutely necessary to cut some of our correspondents this week and to leave out several which arrived too late. Correspon dents will please get their letters in by Monday if possible. Also write nothing but news items. This will save us much trouble and avoid the necessity ol cutting down. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Hmai.i. pox is still in the field and seems to be gaining grouud. In the country arouud Pelham, a little man ufacturing town on the line between Spartanburg and Greenville, there are over 000 cases. At the Beaumont and Arkwright mills, in Spartanburg, it Is taking hold, and we are reliably informed there are several cases at Glendale. All should be vaccinaied. The sc.iro is over, but the danger is near. ♦ ♦ ♦• ♦ The State Board of Pharmacy held a meeting in Columbia last week and resolved to enforce, rigidly, the law against all druggists wlio do not ob tain license from the Board. Those now in business cun have until July to prepare themselves for examina tions, and after that time the Board will employ detectives in every county to report to the solicitor of the circuit every druggist who shall fail to comply with the law. ♦• ♦ ♦ ♦ The Young Men’s Business League, of Charleston, have offered free en tertainment to the veterans attend ing the reunion on the l!7lh of April. All that they require is that the vet erans bring their blankets along with them and inform them before hand how many will accept the offer. Adjutant Thomas is already author ized to report fifteen from Jake Car penter Camp, and we hope many others will send in their names in time to be reported. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦- It is now fully settled that last year’s cotton crop was the largest that has ever been raised on this earth. The world is glutted with cotton and a war is in prospect which will demoralize the cotton industry and raise the price of provisions. In the face of these facts, it is said that the larmers are buying more fertil izers than they have bought for many years. “Whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad." The man who will not heed the warnings, deserves to be poor. The war cloud grows darker. The board of inquiry on the disaster to the Maine lias at last reached a de cision, and their report, at this writing, is on the way to Washington. By Saturday, it is thought, it will be laid before Congress and published to the world. It is pretty well under stood at this time, however, that the Maine was blown up by Spaniards, and the question is, what is going to be doo-e about it? A money indem nity will be demanded, but money will not satisfy the people of the United States. The independence of Cuba must be recognized, but that will not necessarily be a casus belli. It is certain, however, that complica tions will arise out of present condi tions that may easily precipitate a convict, and both sides are prepar ing for it with all their might. out now the iirst clear night, about £ o’clock, and face towards the south, and look a little to the west of the meridUn, about where the sun is at this time of the year at 1 p. m.. and you will see the beautiful constella tion of Orion, the same that Job look ed on with so much admiration. The row• of three stars in the center which ! he called the bands, points to Sirius, or the iDog Star, in one direction and to 'the Seven Stars in the other. Sicius is the brighLeet fixed eCar in! the .firmament. When that starj rises and sets with the sun, we have “dog days." That is all theae is in' dog days, except a good manyamper-i •stitions. After you have gazed for awkile at, these -wonderful stars, look to the; •east and you will see the greatest' planet, Jupiter, about 1 hour high. 1 This planet is abort 1,4<M> times big ger than our earth. He hue four! moons and a system of belts running around his equator, which, uraiex a small telescope, looks like strips of narrow ribbon tied around him for arnamentc. A good spy glass will show you the moons. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A MOVEMCNT is on foot in Congress to revive the office of J.ieut. General and to bestow it on General Miles, as the senior odficer now in the aruy. Hitherto the office has been given only to men of conspicuous ability and splendid services. If General Miles lias any ability it has yet to he demonstrated, and if he has rendered any eminent services, except the in- famously eminent ones rendered in exercising a petty tyranny over Jef ferson Davis while a prisoner in Fortress Monroe, tho world has yet to hear of them. He now claims tiiat he had orders from the secretary of war to put his illustrious prisoner in irons, and perhaps this claim will be allowed, hut, he cannot claim that he had orders to heap upon him insults and goad him to desperation with little.mean indignities unworthy of a man and a soldier—to forbid tho doctor to send meals to Mr. Davis except at times very inconvenient to the prisoner, to insist on having him to eat out of a tin plate and to drink out of a tin cup,to keep the prisoner’s clothing in his own possession and to dole out to him a change of linen only at such times as the Command ing General, as he styled himself, thought proper, to insist on reading every word that the prisoner wrote to his wife and family, to dismiss Dr. Craven because he had given orders for an overcoat for the enfeebled, emaciated frame of the noble repre sentative of tho lost cause. We sincerely hope that no southern troops will ever be called on to serve under such a man. PRESS OPINION. Cuba may yet verge to the front us the primary issue between the United States and Spain. Every thing is now favorable to intervention, which would he a sweet and humane revenge for Uncle Sam.—Florence Reform Advocate. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Lieutenant-governor McSweeney has made a most capable official, and will be more than likely to defeat any man who hankers for his shoes. The genial Colonel is not yet ready to turn them over to some oue else, and we don’t blame him.—Sumter Herald. ♦ ♦ It goes withont saying that Colonel McSweeney will succeed himself as Lieut-Governor, and it is but right that he should.- Col. McSweeney has filled thaoffice with grace and ability and bis constituents delight to honor such a man.—Aiken Journel and Re view. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ State senator Scarborough, of Horry county, will oppose Congressman Nor ton for re-election from the sixth dis trict. This was the information gained bv tire Columbia papers from a gentleman who is from Air. Scar borough's home and who is in a position to know what his friend in tends doing.—Kingstree County Re cord. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The jury in the case of Charley Williams, who was tried last Monday for the murder of Mr. Lee, has been very much censured by many people for their recommendation to piercy, and while we cannot join in this censure, we think it is very unfortu nate that the recommendation was given, as it may furnish some people with an excuse for lynching in the future.—Sumter Freeman. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦- There’s no doubt about it, Brother McSweeney has graced the position to which he was elected and has dig nified the profession and established the fact that they are fitted for other duties than “pencil pushing." Yes he deserves re-election, and more, pro motion ; and we herewith nominate him for Governor tyo years lienee. We want to see Governor Ellerbe re elected this term for the reason that we believe he also # has tried to dis charge his duty faithfully, fearlessly and conscientiously and has done nothing to deserve defeat.—Kershaw Era. Of Advantage to Cotton Growers. The Manufacturer's Record of this week says: Messrs. Banks A Co., of Hernando. Miss., who operates a round-bale compress, in a letter in which they refer to the advantages to the South of the round hale system, say: "The advantages of it are many. We are also farmers, as v ell as mer chants. We figure, and correctly, fhat vve save $2.50 per bale on every round hale put up. We gin and wrap the hale for $2, which is fifty cents per bale less than charged for the square bale. We give from three- eights to one-half cent per pound more for the round bale. We find a market for it every day, thireby | re venting any loss to us on a decline. Heretofore we have had to ship the square cotton to Memphis, taking the chances of the market de clining while in transit, including commission, insurance and storage. With the round bale we get rid of all this. We sell it on our platform for more than we get in Memphis for square bales, without any charges on it whatever. The round bale means simply this—that the commission cotton merchants and compress men will have to quit the business, and that means a saving of at least $3.25 per bale to the farmer, as all charges are figured against cotton in the price paid the farmer. W r e contem plate putting in a second press this year.” Raising Cotton’s Price. [Manufacturers’ Record.J The Philadelphia Inquirer believes that the new plan of bonded cotton warehouses as described in the Man ufacturers’ Record will result in bet ter prices for cotton. Commenting editorially upon tho plan the In quirer says: “It is a movement of importance to both North and South, since it can hardly fail to help establish firmer prices for cotton ; and as cotton is still the chief American product of export, better prices for cotton mean greater wealth in this country, a quicker absorption of the American securities held by European capitalists, a pro npter establishment of American financial independence and greater freedom from the dangers of English financial panics, to which our habit of borrowing subjects this country, often with disastrous results. * * * * The bonded warehouse will provide the farmer with the means for raising working capital, while it takes away the necessity of breaking the market for cotton as soon as the crop is ready."

Marshall is a neat little city of 7.000 population in the State of Texas. Among its many enterprising merchants is Mr. V. E. Wyatt. In a recent letter to Dr. Ilarlman. Mr. Wyatt says: “I have been afllicttd with la grippe four times ami the last time was worse than the first. 1 began to think, after trying «everal remedies without any relief, tiiat the disease could not be cured. Two years ago was the last tirno T had an attack of it. I de cided to try Pe-ru-na and got six bottles. The first bottle I took did me more good than all tiie medicines , I had taken before. I rec ommend Pe-ru-na to all wiio are suffering with uny<lisease it«a advertised to cure. I am well and stout new. I want everybody afflict ed as I was to kn«w of the wonderful merits «f Pe-ru-nu.,’ Unless treated by Pe-ra-na, la grippe leaves the sys tem it a deplorable condition. It completely demoralizes the nervous system, deranges digestion and dis turbs nearly every function of the body. Pe-ru-na is a perfect specific for tih'is condition.

Had it riot been for the pardoning power Sam Jones would have been in hell long ugo.
