Gaffney City, S. C. C-2u-3t PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS, ! ETCHINGS FROM ETTA JANE All Classes Must Help Foot Uncle Sam’s Big Bill. The contributions from Greater New York to the war fund under the new war revenue bill will bo about twice as much as that of any other oily in the country. Roughly esti mated that city will spend $10.000,- 000 annually on war taxes. The tux on beer is nominally $1 a barrel. It will be $2 under the new law. It is expected that something like $4,000,000 a year will bo realized on beer in New York city. A very large part ot the war tax will come out of Wall street. The tax of two cents on each $100 of stock and bond sales is a heavy one. Business on the stock exchange bus averaged 100,OIK) shares a day lately, and if it continues at that rate the daily assessments will be $8,000. The produce and cotton exchanges are let oil with a tax of one cent for $100. About the biggest item, however, will be the tux on bank checks. In 1871 the revenue from this source was $2,318,555 in the country. The tux on bunk checks in New York city alone will probably run up to $3,- 000,000 a year under the war revenue law. From the ban.-c capital tax, the tax on foreign bills of exchange, the tax on capital stock and funded debt of all corporations, and from other taxes in the financial centre, it is es timated ‘that $1,000,000 a year will bo realized. Altogether Wall street will contribute something like $18,- 000,000 a year to the war fund. From the ten cents a ppund tax on tea, the government expects to real ize about $20,000,000 annually in the country. Stamps will have to be af fixed to all papers relating to real es tate transactions — conveyances, deeds, leases,agreements or contracts, mortgages, trust, deeds and powers of attorneys. From real estate trans actions in New York city the govern ment will probably derive about half a million dollars annually. The rev enue from the country from this item of tne bill will probably be between $15,000,000 and $20,000,000. The tux on tobacco has been raised to 12 cents a pound. The cigar tax is not a heavy one. The cigarette tax is $1 a thousand. There are over 3,- 000,000,000 cigarettes made annually in this country, and the war revenue on them will be about $3,000,000. The annual production ot tobacco is about 400,000,000 pounds. The in creased revenue on this amount would be about $24,000,000. • -*•*- • — An Accident. While at breakfast Friday morning, Mrs. Joseph Yinesettaccidently over turned a cup of hot coffee on her in fant child and the little one was terri bly burned about the breast and shoulders. Dr. (Sidney Sarratt was called and administered to the little sutlerer. The injuries are quite pain ful hut not necessarily tutal. — - —- As Viewed by a Tar Heel. [('harlotto Observer.! How deep-seated is the interest in tlie war is proved hy the statement that there is scarcely any interest at all in (south Carolina this year in State politics.

Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital or gans. If the liver is inactive, you have a bilious look ; if your stomach is disordered, you have a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are affected, you have a pinched look.

Last Laturday the Sunday schools of the Second Baptist and Second Methodist churches united and held a picnic at Cherokee ford on the Broad river. The mill shut down for the occasion. The train left the O. R. ifc C. passenger depot at 9 o’clock. The crowd was so large that it wus necessary to run two trains to accom modate it.

Wilkin's A Bros., bus a veuy old watch in his possession. It was made in England about two hundred years ago and has been in the hands of his ancestors for three, four or five generations. It is pure gold. It has not been run ning for a great many years. We hope Mr. Allien will take the trouble to give us its history as near as he can. As soon as the burly burly of the campaign is over we expect to till several columns of The Ledger with an aeeo&nt of our canvass, giving a history of our travels, the peopl^, the resource*, etc., of Cherokee county. There are many items of interest that lie in the pathway of the observant traveler, which, though many may think very insignificant, will interest oome readers. The different sections which make up Cherokee county, although they have lain contiguous for time imme morial, yet their people are compar atively strangers to each other and their different resources equally so. We want to obliterate tlie old geo graphical lines that divided us while in different counties, and let our peo ple feel that they are members of the same family. Here is a letter of Mrs. Hobson, mother of Lieutenant Hobson, to a friend in Richmond, Yu., that ex presses the feeling of a noble mother for a noble son. If every mother who reads the Ledger could truth fully say the same of her boy. how many happy homes it would make: Guehnsiioko, Ala.. Juno llili, IMW.

In the Brooklyn Disciplinary Train ing School For Boys delinquents suffer the queerest sort of punishments These punishments are the invention of Prin cipal Downing, who has been in charge of the institution since its establish ment a year ago. He is a young west ern mail who has made a study of penol ogy and methods of reform, and he manages the tough boys committed to his charge with skill. Tho other afternoon, as the writer approached the old Villa do Halos, in which the disciplinary school is now located^ a side door opened and there came out two boys who were fastened back to back by the upper jxirts of the arms, which were strapped. They sidled out of tiie door crab fashion and went down a short flight of stairs to the playground. The larger boy was heavily built and appeared t<*bc German. His face expressed stolidity. The boy fasten ed to him was evidently Irish. He was in a rage, and as soon as his feet struck the firm earth ho began to buck and wrench about like a wild broncho. The other boy braced himself, but declined to become excited. Ho Iboked straight ahead in a gloomy way like a thouglit- u 1 buffalo. la^ro were nearly 50 ot the playground, and the about tho newcomers, with delight and played unfortunate pair. The Ir uud thrashed about wild! haustod himself. Then ho^ The German promptly sat do grass, and tho Irish boy was do the fame. The whole scene' wildly funny, and all the boys in playground enjoyed it to tho full gave up their other occupations in or der to guy tho victims. “That is the punishment for fight ing,” said Mr. Downing, when asked the meaning of the strange spectacle. “Tlie Irish boy attacked the German, so I fastened them together in that man ner. I tind the plan very effective. You see the point is that they’ve got to come to tui agreement before they can go any where or do anything. The most effect ive part of the punishment is that it makes them l<x>k ridiculous. If they were whipped or put on bread and wa ter or put in solitary confinement, they might pose to the other boys as grand and gloomy desperadoes of the 5 cent novel variety. But it is quite impossi ble for them to maintain their diguity when tied back to back. The more des perate they are the funnier they look, and tho other boys have no mercy on them. “They don’t stick it out very loug when fastened together. They are in each other's way at every motion. When they go to tho table to eat, they must stand sidewise. They must walk sidewise. They must lie sidewise, back to back, in the bed. When they have had enough, they come and apologize and promise to keep the peace. Aud they do keep it.” There arc no bars or bolts on the Disciplinary Training School For Boys. Sometimes the youngsters, who are sup posed to L© the toughest that Brooklyn can produce, run away. They don’t go very far, anti they are always brought back. The runaways tire punished by being made to run round aud round the gr ass plot. Thus they get more ruuuing thau they want.—New York Hun. Notice. llrrtt of K. L. I.litli-joim A -•So! VI I t>..

Tho spirit with which some of out fathers entered the Revolutionary war is well illustrated hy an anecdote told of General David Wooster by one whe was present at the scene described. Thi.-- officer was appointed to tho command of a Connecticut regiment which as sembled on Now Haven green on a day in June, 1775, set for its departure fot Now York. Tho auecdote is told iu tlie “History of Counecticut:” “They were ready for a march, tvitli thoir arms glittering and thoir knap sacks on their bucks. Colonel Woostei had already dispatched a messenger foi his miuister, the Rev. Jonathan Ed wards, with a request that ho would moot the regiment and pray with them before their departure. Ho thou con ducted his men in military order into tho mooting house and seated himseli in Itis own pew, aavaiting the return ol the messenger. Ho was speedily inform ed that thu miuister was absent from home. “Colonel Wooster immediately step ped into the deacon’s seat iu front ol the pulpit and, calliug his men to attend to prayers, offered a humble petition for his beloved country, for himself, for tho men under his immediate command aud for the success of the cause in which they were engaged. “His prayers were offered with the fervent zeal of an apostle and in such pa thetic language that it drew tears from many uu eye aud affected many a heart. Wheu he had closed, he left the house with his men iu the same order they hud entered it, and the regiment took up its line of march for New York. With such n prayer on his lips ho en tered thu Revolution.” for ion to tin- ,itli,-,- of She »iff rt t'iii-ro- kft* County subjvct to tin action of tiie Dem ocratic primary. __ J. ft. Ross.
