SHORT SPEECHES. In the State campaign the candi dates for Governor are limited in their speeches to fifteen minutes, and all the other candidates to five minutes each. Every candidate complains that it is impossible for him to discuss any important ques tion or to do himself half justice in the short time allowed him, and many people and some of the news papers say the complaint is just. Now, we hold if a man has anything to say and knows how to say it, he can say a great deal in fifteen, yes, even in five minutes. Nay* more, the man who is capable of putting thoughts into “words that burn.” does not need nor want more than fifteen and often not five minutes on the greatest occasion. W. J. Bryan won the nomination for the presi dency of the United States by a speech of not more than fifteen min utes’ length, before the Chicago con vention. At the famous trial of the Seven Bishops in the reign of king James the second—a trial which constitutes a noted epoch in English history—after the great lawyers had pleaded for hours and days, both for the prosecution and defense, an ob scure young lawyer named John Somers closed for the defense in a speech exactly five minutes long by the watch, and the brilliant historian, Macauley says, “when he took his seat his reputation as tne first law yer in England was firmly establish ed.” That speech may be said to have raised John 'Somers to the peenjge, made him Lord High Chancellor of England, and sent his name ringing down the ages as one of the greatest men that his country ever produced. It is a fact that the vital points of the ablest and most elaborate dis courses, political, theological, or forensic, can be condensed into a few sentences, and tiiose sentences uttered in a few minutes. All the* rest of the discourse besides these points, is nothing but “sound and fury signifying nothing.” It is a fact, too, that condensation in thought increases strength just as condensation of liquids and gases increases consistency and tension. We suppose that it would astonish our candidates for Governor if some man should step forth at one of their campaign meetings and in a few min utes’ speech capture the whole crowd, and in a few such speeches the whole State with the Governor’s office and all it contains. Yet un der certain conditions there have been, and there probably are now, men who ccu’.d do it. £ . ■ WATER! WATER! WATER! We are told that an intelligent engineer has Recently made a partial survey of our town and surrounding localities, and has announced it practical and easy to establish a system of water-works which will supply the town with an abundance of pure water at moderate cost. Let this enterprise engage at once the earnest attention of our town council and all good citizens. If there is one need pressing upon the town at this time more heavily than another, It is water, pure water, and plenty of it. Every day’s delay in securing it is a day of danger; every dollar invested in it. is an invest ment In health, comfort, and huppi- ness—a stock of treasures compared with which stocks of merchandise, cotton mills and land estate all shrink into insignlficence. With an abundant supply of water the means will be at hand of protec tion against tire, and Gaffney will be prepared to resist the two great ene mies of every town, fire and pesti- Icrce. It is high time our people were aroused from their dream of false security. Pestilence is lurking near, and the match is already made which may start a conflagration that will destroy property representing money enough to build an aqueduct from the Blue llidge and wash the whole town into Broad river. THE COURT HOUSE. Judge Townsend has reached his de cision in the court house and jail question, and in accordance with that decision the right of the county commissioners to accept the offer of the town of the present court house and a lot for the jail in liqui dation of the $15,000 bond, is estab lished. As the commissioner^ had already agreed to accept the offer in case their right to do so were estab lished by the courts, the whole mat ter may be regarded as settled. Whatever a few captious individ uals have thought or may still think, their has been nothing but plain, honest business dealing in the whole matter, and we believe that the sen sible, thinking people of the county will generally be not only satisfied but pleased with tiie settlement, as the county certainly gets more than was promised it, and the town is re lieved of an obligation that might have hampered it in years to come. It looks like a pity to spoil the ammunition of some of our aspiring politicians, but we advise them to fire blank cartridges for awhile. They will make just as loud a noise as loaded ones, with the unmeasura- ble advantage that they will do no mischief. Read the racy letter of Warden Baker on this subject, to be found on another page. ONE OF A TRIO. A writer in a Northern paper un dertakes to vindicate President Mc Kinley, Secretary Alger, and Gen- Miles against all criticism by giving the war record of each. According to this writer Gen. Miles, though without a military education, was a shining star in the war against tiie South, that vied in brilliancy with that of Grant, and Sherman and Han cock. It is strange that the confed erates never heard of Gen. Miles until after the war was over and he turned up at Fort Monro* as the persecutor of Jefferson Davis. It is especially strange, since according to this writer he smote the confed erates hip and thigh on all proper occasions, having so iiUie regard for the proprieties of one occasion as to rout and capture three hundred of them with only ninety men. Bully for Gen. Miles. But didn’t the writer get his figures mixed? Or periiaps ho was writing a novel. In a novel numbers dont amount to much. One man can run fifty men, if nec essity demand, just as easily as fifty men run one. If our writer is writing truth, then he proves beyond all question that “truth is stranger than fiction.” ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK. It was announced a week ago that those troublesome “restrictions” with which enlistment had been hampered had all been removed, and that there would now bo no difficulty in raising the Second Regiment. But the reg iment is still in embryo. The Co lumbia State is growing desperate and declares that if the regiment is not raised it will bo wor£e than war. Perhaps the astute mind of the State can trace relations that are for ever bidden from the perceptions of duller intellects. We confess that when we attempt to find in a failure to raise troops after a war is virtually over and there is no immediate pros pect of another one, evils us big as those of war, we are conscious of a considerable strain on our feeble mental resources. Perhaps the State has never seen actual war—only road of it and its glories. It is the opinion of several news papers that the race for Governor bus narrowed lown to Ellerbe and Feath- erstone, that is. the issue is between the dispensary and prohibition. The opinions of newspapers, however, in regard to elections are about on u par with their opinions in regard to the future price of cottifn. We think the prohibition committee of this county have made a mistake in se lecting so many different men to speak for them in the county cam paign, and perhaps a mistake in se lecting all preachers. One good earnest man would do more effective work than so many different ones, and there uio moral questions that u non professional can discuss more influentially than a preacher. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Tub melon crop is* enormous. There are wagon loads of them on the streets at all hours of the clay, and no doubt there would be many more, if the market were not glutted. With a few nickJes a man can buy more melons than he could raise in a good sized patch in an ordinary year. It used to be thought that a good ripe watermelon would not hurt any body and doctors would allow their pa tients to eat watermelon when all ordinary food was forbidden. But witli improved tasce and an increase of comforts and luxuries, our stom achs have become more fastidious, and there are many people row who cannot eat watermelons without de cided injury. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The dignified Editor of the Caro lina Spartan a short while ago rose to remark that the race between Mj- V Austell and Col. Camp for Auditor ofc Cherokee county is the slowest rac^ on record, each running as he is on one leg. We wish to remind our facetious contemporary that he must not allow himself to be deceived by appearances. We have three candi dates running for county offices, and all three of them can muster only one pair and a half of legs. Yet they can out run any three men with their full complement of six legs that the Editor of the Spartan can produce in his county. Let him trot out his three bipeds, against Austell, Camp and Jolly, if he dares. The editorial writer of this paper expects to be absent from Gaffney for the greater part of two or three weeks to come, and during his ab sence he will leave his page in the hands of the facile and many-sided manager and local editor, who will, like a Roman Consul “see that the public suffer no detriment.” The editor may send a letter or two to keep friendship from growing cold. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Pay no heed to the mean, low, dirty braggart who would endeavor to have you believe that every man who lives within the corporate limits ofatownisthe enemy of the man wiio lives without those limits. It is a coward who would pursue such tactics and such a man is beneath the respect of any honest man, be he ever so humble. To the candidates we would say: “Be brave and honest. If you can not reach the goal to which you as pire by using honorable means it were better you go down to defeat and oblivion than to reach that goal by foul and dishonest methods. Be men under all circumstances and do not let your ambition for office lead you to betray > <ur manhood. The Columbia State complains that the country press has not, as a rule, sufficiently urged enlistment. We confess we have not urged en listment. We did not intend to go to the war as long as wo could keep from it and wo do not propose urging other folks to do what wo do not want to do ourselves. We congratulate our esteemed young friend, Mr. Clyde R. Hoey, of the Cleveland Star, on his nomi nation for the State Legislature by the Democrats of bis county. We predict his election and feel sure he will make a record cf which both he and his county may he proud. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Si’ARTAxr.rRG county claims to have furnished ‘JS9 men to the array besides Capt. Heuneman’s company of colored troops, and now Capt. Dean is raising another whole com pany in the town and county. Well done for Spartanburg. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Greenwood Journal has enter- red its fifth year with bright pros pects for the future. We wish it many years of usefulness and trust both it and the gallant town it so well represents may live long and prosper. The man who would sell his vote for a drink of whiskey ora barbecue ticket should be disfranchised. Such a citizen is not worthy of citizenship. Let the yeomanry of Cherokee be yeomanry indeed. Don't allow your vote to be bought with a barbecue dinner or a drink of whiskey. If you must sell yourself demand a price worth something. $ioo Reward, $ jo.
