SUNSHINE AND SHADOWS. Tiiere is a skeleton in every closet. There is a dfeep shadow lurking near to every hearth-stone, and often when the fire glows brightest and the fimily circle is all radiant with love and hope and happiness, it spreads its raven wings over the scene and all is suddenly changed, as if by a breath from the under-world or at the echo of a distant wail from some fallen spirit. Love is shaded with e.»rrow. hope sinks into despair, and bright cheer changes place with gloom. It may be that a ghost, not vieible to the eyes, but well discerned in every feeling of the heart and definitely shaped in the conscious- nef» of the soul, sits in the chair 1 mg since vacant; it may be that the night winds bring whispers from afar I hut >t:irt the chords of the soul into sympathetic* vibrations sounding in mournful cadences the requiem of •jeml love, of blighted hopes, of hap- I mess that was never to be, of days and years that never yet nestled in lhe bosom of time; it may be that the bright chain that bound heart to li-urt. hus been rudely broken and iis links widely scattered, some to shine in new chains of love, others to b • isolated by neglect and to rust and canker in the dews of sorrow; but whatever it be, the shadows a"e always brooding near and the ghosts are always ready to start up from me abyss and march in solemn pro cession in the wake of the shadows. Oh ! how light and darkness, sun shine !'tid shadows, chase each other in ilie weird drama of life! What wondrous scenes of beauty are brought to view in the kaleidoscope, which by another turn, quickly vanish, and darkness comes on filled with mishapen creatures of the night, strangely magnified and dis torted, stalking by in grim silence, or mingling and changing as if reveling in the very exuberance of gloom. The world without and the world within keep step to a common march. The crowds that jostle on the streets, timt surge like billows of the sea, that scatter like the leaves of au tumn ; the nations that are clothed with power, the armies that shake the earth with their tread—what are [they all but an aggregation of units, rach one of which has within it an lyitome of the whole? W hat are the |iallelujahs of multitudes or the dying [wails of nations, hut the reinforced jhoes of sounds emanating from the bf.Men chambers of each individual peart? What are wide-spread scenes ^f glory and of desolation, but lereopticon views projected on a Isible canvas, of scenes which chase kch other in every human life? PThe funeral cortege presses with [lemn tread close upon the steps of bridal party; the children of sor- cower under the windows of [liant halls sparkling with silks jewels and resoundingyith songs |iirth and revelry. Dives throws [dust from his glittering wheels on prostrate form of Lazarus, and py where joy aud sorrow dwell by side, or follow each other |i unvaried speed arot nd the dial of destiny. [every heart has its bridal songs, followed by the funeral dirge, has its halls resplendent with [th and gay with mirth, and by are the dens of wretched- md despair, tio it has its days filing joys and its nights of pg sorrows. nature on all her broad face her kindly sympathy! She an a"ch of soft blue skies |ful to behold and emblematical ce and love, and then she Is her battle clouds and they rush to the conflict to the sound of rolling thunder, wrapping the heavens in darkness relieved only by the lurid lightning’s glare and cover ing the earth with a pall of gloom and terror. She spreads out her vast ocean and hushes it to sleep with whispered lullabies, when it smiles in beauty bewitching, and entices adventurous man afar on its tranquil bosom, then suddenly she hurls down her charging tempests and there is a wild waste of battling billows in which the great war ships, the mightest embodiments of a na tion’s power are as helpless as a babe in an enraged nurse’s arms; and on opposite sides of the earth she draws from pole to pole dividing lines be tween day and night, each line bor dered on both sides by rainbow-tinted bands woven by the mystic hand of refraction, the one the harbinger of day, the other the rosy fringe of night; and swifter than birds of pas sage—swifter than the winged winds—have these lines and bands swept from orient to Occident, and day and night have followed each other in giddy whirls since time be gan, and so they will follow till time shall be no more. But high above the shifting scenes of earth, ocean, and sky—far back in the abysmal depths—are the un changing stars—the fixed, steadfast eternal stars—serene and undis turbed in their far oil splendor, and i giving sweet promises in their twinkling eyes of rest and peace and love. So the heart has its star of hope ever beaming in the distant blue, ever wooing the struggling soul up wards, and inviting to a sphere be yond the realm of change and shad ows, where the true and brave shall dwell together and where peace and love shall live and reign forever. A TWO EDGED COMPLIMENT. A reader of The Ledger writes: “Your leaders on the State Colleges are unanswerable, unless you have manufactured some of your data, which I more than half suspect.” \Ye wish to assure our wary and suspicious friend that not one iota of the data was manufactured by us and not one figure was given that was not copied from the public records. And jet so completely are our people in the hands of a few self-seeking po’i- ticians and so utterally indifferent are they to any thing beyond the do main of those politicans we seriously doubt that whether out of The Led ger’s 5,000 to G,UU0 readers, as many as a round dozen have read those ar ticles attentively or have really thought or cared whether they could be answered or not. It is possible that our suspicious friend is the only one. Yet these articles will be answered, as such arguments and expositions have been answered in the past, by some feeble protests in the Legisla ture, followed by the same or greater appropriations, and we shall hear afterwards the same old song of hard times and high taxes, and shall have the same class of politicians regal ing the people with tales of econo my' and promises of wonderful re ductions in taxes just as soon as they got into office. ENTRIES FROM OUR DAY BOOK. Now a big circus is heading for these parts, and “the children must see the animals,” and the grown folks must go along to take cure of them, and the circus will pocket.the pro ceeds of thousands of hales of cotton and leave demoralization and empty pockets behind it. But such things must needs bo. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is said that (len. Fitzhugh Lee has withdrawn from the senatorial race in Yirginia. It is thought by his friends that the General is a prime favorite at the White House and that he has the prospect of a position in Cuba far more gratilying to his tastes and aspirations than that of the fnited States Senator. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We do not take much stock in foot ball but if there is anything in it for anybody it eeems to us that there ought to be enough in the game played last week between the Clem* son and the Bingham team to last the lovers of the game a lifetime. If fifty to nothing in favor of Clemson will not satisfy our boys, what will? ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ South Carolina spends !|! 150,000 an nually on about 500 able-bodied young men of well-to-do parents and about 100 girls of like condition, but she is too poor to give more than $100,000 to 10,000 old, needy, and infirm men who once dared and suffered in her behalf as no other people have dared and suffered. It jv’ould t&em that things need a little fixing. The war investigatipa commission is still in evidence. If it has un earthed a single case of fraud, neg lect or incompetency deserving of censure it has not so informed the public. It is doing nothing but spending Uncle Sam’s money and playing to the galleries. The whole business is a farce, an exhibition of puerile folly, and the commission should be immediately discharged. The latest from North Carolina indicates that affairs are growing more critical. There has been a col lision between the races at a place near Lumberton, in which several negroes were killed. The Republican Senator, Pritchard, has asked the President to send national troops, ostensibly to keep the i-eace, but really to help the Republicans. Out in Mississippi, too, there has been trouble between the races and several lives have been lost. It is to be deplored that the negro will permit bad men to make him a tool for working out his own destruction. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The death of Col. Alston, the gal lant commander of the first regiment that South Carolina raised for the war with Spain, has cast a pall of gloom over the enl ire state. He has fallen in the prime of manhood, just as a brilliant and honorable career was opening up before him, not at the head of his regiment on the field of battle where his training and aspira tions would probably have male him wish to die, but in the sick bed, tiie victim of disease contracted in the service of his country. It is sad to write the word Kixis on the life-scroll of a man of such promise, yet it must be done. Peace to his ashes and honor to his memory. During last week there was a har vest of homocides. A Mr. Atkinson who lives in Edgefield, fourteen miles from Augusta, was returning from that city with his wife in a buggy, and when nearing his home after dark, was fired upon bj 7 an asssassin in ambush. The whole load entered the neck of his wife whose head was reclining on his bosom, severing the carotid artery and the jugular vein, and killing her almost instantly. The assassin fled and has neither been identified nor arrested. A few days afterwards an architect in Greenville named Grube was shot and killed by a man named Chaffin, over some trivia! subject of dispute. Society and the law seem utterly powerless to prevent such high handed crimes, and their fregency indicates a state of things which it is fearful to contemplate. It takes more prospecting and con sulting, and delicate weighing of reasons, pro and con, to determine the place of encampment of a brigade of soldiers than it used to take to fix the site of a large city. First, it must be settled in Washington what states are to have the camps; then officers are appointed to select the towns which are to be honored with the camps; then there is much stick ling over particular localities about the towns. Finally the precise spot is located and staked off and the soldiers come and go into quarters. Then when a few of them die, there will be great complaints of the un- healthfulness of the location and other commissions will be appointed to inspect, investigate, and report on the causes that have favored disease. This may be all right in this “degen erate age,” but Stonewall Jackson would have selected a winter camp fer his whole corps while his servant was preparing his breakfast, and his twenty thousand men would be pretty comfortable quartered in time to go i to cooking their rations for dinner. We never heard of unhealthy camps in those days. Political excitement in North Car olina is at a white heat and there is no telling what a day may bring forth. White supremacy is at stake and the campaign of 1S7G in this state is be ing repeated in North Carolina. In many places both sides are arming and everybody feels that a race war is imminent. In the county which con tains the city of Wilmington there arc thirty-six colored magistrates be sides all of the presidential appoint- tees. The postmaster. W. H. Chadbourn, writes a candid letter to Senator Pritchard in which he advises the giving up of all these offices in order to avoid bloodshed and anarchy. The fact is, ninety-five per cent, of the tax payers a;e dominated by a motley crew that do not represent five per cent, of the taxable property. The Anglo Saxon race will not long endure such oppression as that. It will shaice off the incubus or move heaven and earth in the attempt. We trust that the grand old state has true sods enough in her borders to re* deem her from such bonds of Iniquity and of political death. The man clothed In a white skin who deserts her in this emergency is a double- dyed traitor and deserves the scoff and scorn of every man who has the soul of a man within him. PRESS OPINION, The Populists in North Carolina are confronted with a disaster like that which befell their fellows in Georgia. The Populist party has no longer a mission—no longer a right to exist.—Columbia Register. * * * The Charleston Post dosen’t like the idea of having yellow fever reports circulated about a place so near as Sullivan.s Island. Well, guess .fack Frost will settle the question gener ally. At least it is earnestly hoped so.—Greenwood Journal. * * * It seems impossible to pass a law “agin yaller dogs” in this State. The discussion of it is useless. If the legislature will therefore turn its attention to weightier matters, such as biennial or quadrennial sessions of that august body it will do well.— Bamberg Herald. * * * Col. W. J. Bryan’s regiment has been ordered to Cuba along with Gen. Lee’s division at Jacksonville. Per haps McKinley thinks that he hus effectually disposed of the free silver candidate by sending him out of the country—but will he stay put—that is the question.—Darlington News. ¥ * * When a man makes or raises an article at home and sells it for a dol lar, that money is circulated at home. If he sells it in u foreign market, that morey is gained for home. If he buys it in a foreign markt that money is lost to home. The com munity that can sell to a foreign market more than it buys from it is the best off.—Sumter Herald. ¥ * * The low price of cotton has brought forth a large crop of applicants for public position. Every office in the gift of the governor has a host of can didates and every member of the Genera! Assembly is being besieged with "I want you to use your influence in my behalf.” The newly elected will save themselves a mountain of annoyance if they will refrain from making promises.—Manning Times. It is stated in the Barnwell paper that Col. L. W. Youmans of that county will be a candidate for United States Senator against Senator Till man in 1900. He made a canvas of the State on the Sheppard and Orr ticket and was a stump speaker of great force in that campaign. His entry would make u lively campaign, but present indications are that Sena tor Tillman will be his own suc cessor.—Newberry Herald and News. * * ¥ Reading over the story of Stonewall Jackson’s successes, we are impressed with the thought that if the Con federates had had the help the yellow newspapers have given the Spaniards they would have won and torn the union to pieces. The newspapers as they were made themselves nuisances in many instances to both sides. But if they had been as they are—if there had been a New York Journal and a New York World to stir dissension and arouse distrust after each defeat of the Federal forces— the South would have had an ally more effective than England could have been.—Greenville News. Our Sister Slate. IKUigstree County Record.] F*om present indications there will be a “hot time” in the Old North State at the coming election. The white people have submitted to the grossest outrages until forbearance has ceased to be a virtue. In this her hour of trouble we over this side of the line cannot but sympathize with our lister Statc'and wish her God speed in her effort to throw off the political burdens which weigh so heavily upon her. We are glad to see that Senator Tillman is to urge the white men on to victory with his vigorous oratory. This is a matter of close concern to every Southerner, and we believe there is no true South Carolinian who will not rejoice at the triumph of the men so near to us, and moutn over their defeat. There has never been’a time when the people of North Carolina, when aroused, failed to do their whole duty, and we believe they will come out all right this time. $ioo Reward, $100.

Twenty-five years ago this theory was used as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected by this famous old household remedy are sufficient to prove that the theory is correct. Browns’ Iron Bitten is sold by all dealer*. Sunny Side Statements. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Sunny Side, Oct. 24.—Our people are up-to-date people and I think we ought to have a reporter to our coun ty paper once in a while. Cotton picking is all the go now. The farmers are getting it out and selling it as fast as they can this sea son. Prof. R. A. Foster finished up his singing school at Messopotamia last Saturday. He has a fine choir now. The young people take a great inter est in singing. The Prof, and school has an invitation to Foster’s Chapel, at Kelton, next Sunday to a Sunday school celebration. J. H. Sprouse and Dave Fowler have bought the Kendrick plantation near here from Mr. Tom Duncan, of Union. Mr. Fowler also sold out his interest in the King place to Mr. Duncan. Chills are plentiful around here. This would be a great place for medi cine peddlers to sell chill tonics. Our Sunday school at Messopota mia appointed R. A.

Lord R., who had many good quali ties and even learning, had a strong desire of being thought skillful in physic and was very expert in bleeding. Lord Chesterfield, who knew his foible and wished on a certain occasion to have his vote, went to him one morn ing and, aftey having conversed on in different matters, complained of a head ache and desired his lordship to feel his pulse. It was found to beat high, and a hint of bleeding was thrown out. “I have no objection, and, as I hear your lordship has a masterly hand, will you favor mo with trying your lancet upon me?” said the tactful and politic Ches terfield. After tho operation he said, “By the waj 7 , do you go to tho house today?” “I did not intend to go, not being sufficiently informed of the question to be debated, ” answered tho impromptu physician. “Which side will you bo on?” Lord Chesterfield, having gained his confidence, easily directed his judg ment. He took him to tho house and got him to vote as he pleased. He after ward said that few of his friends had done as much as he, having literally bled for the good of his country. A Fleshy Consumptive Did you ever see one? Did you ever hear of one ? Most certainly not. Con sumption is a disease that invariably causes loss of flesh. If you are light in weight, even if your cough is only a slight one, you should certainly take Scott’s Emuslion of cod liver oil nvilh hypo- phosphites, No remedy is such a perfect prevent ive to consumption. Just the moment your throat begins to weaken and you find you are losing flesh, you should begin to take it. And no other remedy has cured so many cases of consumption. Unless you are far advanced with this disease, Scott’s Emul sion will hold every in ducement to you for a perfect cure. All Druggists, <oc. and $i. Sro i T & Bowxt. Chemists. N 7 .

A FIr For Him. “A fig for your dates, ” as the Smyrna man said to the Tunisian, the latter be* ing, of course as an African, chronolog ically perfect. But why should that fruit, the fig, be held so cheap? Why do we say, “A fig for him?” A folklorist finds that the Portuguese, to prevent the influence of tho evil eye on their asses and mules, hung around tho neck of their animals an amulet which they called a “figa.” Southey, so a cone- Bpounent writes to Notes aud Queries, took tho pains to tell what was the Por tuguese nonsense. But, with all respect to folklore, we fail to see that the story points to any thing at all.
