CANDIDATES AND VOTERS. The county campaign meetings will now soon commence, and the can didates and the voters will be brought face to face. During these meetings, as indeed during the whole campaign, there are certain obligations resting upon both candidates and voters, which cannot be ignored without vio lating the high behests of a civilized manhood and descending to the low plane of the boor and the blackguard. The voters owe the candidates a re spectful and attentive hearing. The right of the candidate to demand this is in strict accordance with every principle of free government and of even-handed justice between man and man. It is the duty of the voter also to weigh well the candidates merits and demerits, to banish all prejudices from his mind, and to do some can did, impartial thinking before he makes up his mind as to how he will cast his vote. The greatest need of to-day in South Carolina politics—a need to which all other needs are sec ondary and tributary—is honest, capable, broad-minded, patriotic men in office. Nine-tenths of our political troubles have sprung up and borne their legitimate fruit, because there were few such men in office. We have hud in u great measure the reign of the demagogue, the political wire pullers, the unscrupulous hypocrite, skillful to play on tl c prejudices and passions of the people, reckless of mischief, blind to every principle of honor, and recognizing no law and harboring no motive except that which prompted him to seek his own aggrandizement and glorification. Surely his reign is past and the time has come when the intelligence, good sense, and manhood of the peo ple will assert themselves, and de mand that true and good men shall be honored with office. Again, people have no right to im pose on a man because he is a can didate. His candidacy in no wise abstracts from his rights as a man and a citizen. There are people who will take advantage of a man’s candidacy to ply him with subscrip tions for contributions to all sorts of enterprises in which he cun he sup posed to have no personal interest; to badger and hunter him in public meetings merely to show what liber ties they can take with a man who is anxious for votes; and to say and do many things to him which they would not dare to say and do to a man who has no aspirations for office. No high-minded, honorable man will stoop to such conduct, for it is both cowardly and mean. Then be sure that you do not full out with your neighbor and think and say hard things of him on ac count of some candidate who person ally cares not the snap of his finger for either one of you. There are men in this country to-day whose friendship has been broken up and who are cherishing for each other an imosities that will endure through life, and all because they did not see alike *n regard to some candidate and each exercised his right as a freeman and voted for the man of his choice. In ail probability the candi date who consciously or unconsciously caused the split between them, would not know them if he were to meet them, and would consider it be neath his dignity to pull one of them out of a mud hole if he were to find him lying Hat of his back in it in the middle of the road. When men who are naturally friends, fall out upon such grounds and become enemies for life, they ought tach to he made to wear a placard over the part of the body in which tho rancor is supposed to dwell, bearing the label, #****-«**« *****«■*#*######*<*-** * | COMPOUND TRIPLE EX- % * TRACT OF PURE, UNA- * Adulterated, double * $ AND TWISTED FOLLY. * * * #*#**•» •s********************** Finally, voters, see to it that good order and good behavior are main tained at the campaign meetings. You owe this to the candidates, to yourselves and to the honor of the county. If there should he a man at one of these meetings who should so far forget the respect due to his fel low man us to willfully disturb the proceedings, then he shows plainly that no respect is due him, and he should be put out of the crowd and punished for his insolence. On the other hand, the rule that binds the people to good behavior, is equally, if not more strongly binding on the candidates. Let the candi dates argue public questions as much as they please, but let them do it in the spirit of fairness and forbearance. When a candidate comes down to mud-slinging and personal abuse, ho has abandoned argument, yielded to his opponent the point at issue, de scended below the plane of a gentle man, and is no longer entitled to the respect of his hearers. He, too. should be put out of the crowd and indicted for disturbing a public as sembly. The candidate who strives to arouse prejudices and passion, to array one class of our people against another, one locality against another locality, is traveling with a more cowardly step along tho same road. He is conscious of extreme personal weak ness and he hopes io arouse a blind, unreasoning power that will be strong enough to carry him into of fice. A man whose mind is not broad enough to spread over a little county like Cherokee and grasp it as a unit, and whose heart is not large enough to afford a lodgement for trutli and fairness and justice, isn’t fit to lead a Hock of sheep nor to fig ure at a dance of monkeys. Gentlemen, candidates for the Senate and House of Representatives, the people want to know and ought to know where you stand on two of the most important questions to come be fore the next Legislature, Prohibi tion and the State Colleges. Give them this information fairly and squarely, and stand strictly on the merits of your judgment. Gentlemen, candidates for the county offices, the people want to know only of your competency, hon esty and worthiness. Convince them of these by all fair and honorable means and then leave them to decide the matter of votes, while you rest on your independent manhood. Candidates, voters, gentleman, all, heed our requests and warnings and we shall have an ideal campaign and take a long step forward toward a lofty citizenship and a high-toned manhood. and wide, so that they can never be gathered up and reunited. Tell it not in Gath ; publish it not in the streets of As'.celon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of tho uncircum- cised triumph. BROKEN FRIENDSHIP. ••Alas! they litui been frtenrlB in youth, 11 ut winsiK-ritiK tongues can poison tnilh, Andronsianey lives In realms above. Ami life is tuorny am! youth is vain, Ami to he wroth with one we loye Doth work like madness in the brain.” On no other hypothesis than “madness in the brain,’’ can we ac count for tho many ugly, yet in spite of their ugliness, exceedingly interesting things that Larry Gantt, the peerless editor of the Piedmont Headlight, and Senator Archer, can didate for Governor and an “Israelite in whom there is no guile,’’ are say ing about each other. In the ebulli tions of the aforesaid madness, “Each speaks words of high disdain. An insult to his heart's best brother, And they’ve parted, ne'er to meet again.” The editor so far forgets himself as to declare there isn’t money enough in the United States to buy the pro ducts of his pen; and tho Senator in his righteous indignation throws out decided hints that tho editor's words have not been moulded in strict ac cordance with the eternal principles of truth, and that he, the Senator, must be excused from condescending to notice either tho words or their author, plainly intimating that he could not do so without moral con tamination and a sacrifice of self rc- « / epect. And so they stand apart “like cliffs that have been rent asunder, while a dreary sea now flows between.” Friendship born in mutual confidence, tried in the furnace of mutual sacri fice, and sanctified by a common de votion to the rights of the oppressed and a common suffering in the holy cause of reform, has been rudely severed, and “neither frost nor thunder shall do away with that which hath been.” Whispering ton gues have poisoned truth, and love’s strong chain has been broken and its bright links have been scattered far OUR POSITION. The Ledger has so often alluded to tho fact that it is not in politics that any reference to that fact at this time may seem superfluous. However, we wish to make ourselves quite clear on one point. It has been intimated to us that certain candi dates intended conducting a campaign in which their chief aim was to en deavor to create a dissention between the town and the country. In plainer words, an effort would be made to inflame the prejudices o f the country People against Gaffney. Every inteMigent person is aware that such methods would be disrep utable. We trust no man who has offered himself for office in this county is so mean and cowardly as to adopt such a method. We wish to be perfectly fair to all and we will be fair to all b^t we serve notice that should any man attempt such poli tics as indicated, The Ledger will take a hand in the campaign. Our mission is to do what good we can for tho sake of humanity, to use our ef forts in the upbuilding of the people of both town and country and in the discharge of that duty we will not mildly submit to an outrage being perpetrated upon the people. We do not do this simply for Gaff ney’s sake but for the sake of our people. We would just as readily state our position as being tho same were it indicated that an attempt would be made to create a prejudice against our sister city—Blacksburg— or any particular section of the county. We sincerely trust there will be no occasion for us to say anything fur ther along this line, hut hope that tho campaign in Cherokee will be conducted upon a high plane and that each candidate will solicit votes upon his own individual worth and not sling mud at his opponent or try to create a factional foeling between the town and country. IRBY AND THE DYSPENSARY. Ex-Senator Irby, while defending some dispensary violators before the court at Laurens, took occasion to re flect pretty severely on the dispen sary laws and those charged with their enforcement. Dispensary con stables shot down innocent citizens and went unpunished; dispensers were continually being detected in shortages to large amounts and not one of them hud even been tried, but if u poor ignorant negro or white man were caught selling a half pint, he was made to feel the utmost rigors of the law; and perhaps a good deal more along the same lino. A dispen sary constable present, feeling per sonally and officially aggrieved, un dertook to relieve his feelings and up hold the honpr of tho dispensary in true dispensary style, with the genu ine dispensary pistol. But by standers interfered and prevented the usual result, and the cx-Senator lives to light another day. Tho charges made by Irby, while intended, no doubt, primarllj- to arouse the sympathies of the jury for his client, are just. Tho cases of em bezzlement among tho dispensers have been numerous, and if there has been a single indictment, we have not heard of it. THE WEATHER AND CROPS. It is probable that for fifty years past there has not been such ideal weather on crops as we have hud since the middle of June. With just enough rain and just enough sun shine and just enough heat, the weather could not have been better adapted to vegetation if it had been made to order. The result is that the prospect at this time for heavy crops is perhaps hotter than it has been since 1840. The favorable con ditions seem to have been general, and the result indicated will be tre mendous crops of corn and cotton. PEACE. As wo go to press on Wednesday, the dispatches come that Spain has sued for peace directly to President McKinley, through the French Am bassador, M. Cambon. No specific t/rms are suggested, hut there is no doubt of the fact. Gen. Horace Por ter, it is understood, will conduct negotiations for the United States. Gen Miles has landed on Porto Rico after a sharp skirmish with a party of Spaniards who disputed tho landing. It is to be hoped that no more battles will be fought. WAR NOTES. The Second Regiment of South Carolina Volunteers is still in embryo. Recruiting officers are doing their best, but still the men do not come. It is announced that 7<K) men are yet lacking to make the completemeTit. There is not much enthusiasm among our people over the war. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Confederate Veterans at the reunion in Atlanta passed patriotic resolutions pledging their hearty support to the Government, and President McKinley has written an eloquent rejoinder to Gen. Gordon, expressing his appreciation and grat itude. It seerns that the war of the sixties is at last about to close in a war with Spain. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mr. N. G. Gonzales, editor of the State, has been giving his paper some vivid pen pictures of army life in Cuba. As Mr. Gonzales is on the ground, his pictures may be regarded as original copies and true to life. Thus viewed, they will not be likely to draw many of the unambitious and indolent to the scenes which they represent. Gen. Miles is collecting his forces before Porto Rico, and will attack the place with an army of 40,000 men. As there are only about 0,000 Spaniards thought to be there. Gen. Miles will have a fine opportunity to display his generalship and replace the faded laurels won at Fort Muuroe in his youth, with fresh wreaths, which we hope will exhale a more agreeable odor. The latest news from Madrid is to the effect that the peace sentiment is growing and rapidly taking shape. Great satisfaction is expressed at the growing dissensions between the Cubans and the United States au thorities. A correspondent says he can hear on all sides: “If we must lose Cuba, it is better that the Island bo annexed by America, be cause the traitors would thereby be punished and the enormous Spanish interests in the Island would be pro tected.” ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is said that the Spaniards will court martial Gen. Toral for surren dering Santiago. They claim that he was not authorized to surrender troops that were not under his imme diate command, and s3t:ne of the commanders of these troops refuse to comply with his agreement. We suppose it will make but little differ ence with Shafter and his men, whether these outlying detachments comply or not, us it will take but a little time to use some other argu ments which will be infallible and most convincing. ♦ ♦ + The first South Carolina Regiment is winning laurels in drills, reviews, and other military exercises in the big camp at Chickamaugau. In point of discipline, efficiency and general soldierly qualities, it has been pronounced second by Gen. Sanger in the whole army. It is now jubilant over the early prospect of going to I’orto Rico. It is all right, boys, to be merry and to outshine the other boys on Snodgrass Hill, but when you go to I’orto Rico your merry days will he over, and you’ll begin to learn what soldiers are made for. , Aotordixg to official reports from Gen. Shafter and the Surgeon General, tho yellow fever hi s not yet made much headway among our soldiers in Cuba. It is still, however, a menace and a fearful probability. It remains to be seen whetner science will ho able to meet it on its own soil and baffle it of its prey, or whether It will elude the light of science and march forth in darkness conquering and to conquer. In the meanwhile other fevers are attacking the soldiers to an extent that is becoming alarming, and Gen. Shafter reported on the 21th inst., 396 new cases. A kind peculiar to Cuba, culled dengue fever, is quite prevalent. To the soldiers who die of these strange fevers, it will matter very little, what may be their color, whether yellow, black or white. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Every thing that we have learned since the war began in Cuba has con firmed tho opinion we had of the Cubans at the start, that is that they are in the main, a degraded, demor alized, unreliable set, Inefficient as soldiers and incapable of stable citi zenship. Our soldiers there seem to have a profound contempt for them, and they in turn seem to have no use for our soldiers, except so far as clothing and rations go. Gen. Garci/., who commanded a force of Cubans and made a little show of faint hearted and half-handed co-operation in tho attack on 8)M|wgo, is report ed to be in high dut^t., i with Gen. Shafter, because the latter did not give him a conspicuous place in the ceremonies attending the surrender, nor consult him in regard to the gov ernment of the captured city. Ac cording to one report, lie wrote a scorching letter to Gen fihafter, sent in his resignation to the Cuban au thorities, attempted to disband his forces, and made an all-round fool of himself, generally. According to other reports, the letter was forged by a newspaper correspondent and Garcia isn’t half the fool that he is represented to be. It is certain, however, that the Cubans have little appreciation of the services of our army and that our government is go ing to have any amount of trouble with them. Powell Pencilings. (Correspondence of The I.edger.) Powell, July 2G.—Rev. F.C. Hick son filled his last regular appoint ment at Macedonia. Spain has not as yet expressed her opinion as to how she likes our way of remembering the Maine. It strikes corncracker that Cervera could have spent a pleasanter sum mer by sailing to Alaska and buying a Klonkike mining claim. Unless the Spaniards hurry up and greatly improve their gunnery, Uncle Sam’s specialists in gunshot wounds will have a sinecure. E. P. Richards and \V. D. Byars went to the county seat a few days ago on business. \V. T. Horton went to Cowpens recently on business. \V. I). Byars went to Cowpens yes terday on business.
