Our Government urges the plea of destiny in vindication of the course adopted towards the Philippines. Everything must yield to destiny. It is true that the foundation princi ples are being violated; that the policy adopted and pursued is not in harmony with the spirit of Ameri can institutions; that the subjuga tion of the Philippines will be achieved at a fearful cost of blood and treasure; that large standing armies and strong navies must be maintained though they consume the product of honest toil and threaten the heritage of freedom bequeathed to the nation by its founders; that the old landmarks by which three generations have been guided, must be obliterated, that the ship of State must embark on unknown seas, and the armies of the great republic must march forth under the guiding star of imperialism, conquering and to conquer, even to the ends of the earth. All this, and much more, is palpable, self-evident, undeniable. Hut it is destiny, they say. The war with Spain, undertaken for humani ty’s sake and without even a dream of conquest, has brought responsibil ities which we did not foresee, has opened our eyes to facts which must not be ignored, has rent the veil that hid the future and revealed the plain paths of destiny. We have never seen a more com plete and masterly exposition of the ridiculous absurdity of this plea of destiuy than that made by W. J. Bryan in Ins speech before the Vir ginia Democratic Association on Washington’s birthday. We have never been completely overwhelmed with admiration for Col. Bryan, and we have regarded many of his theories as wild and ex travagant almost to the borders of fanaticism; but his speech on this occasion could not be surpassed. He goes to the bottom of imperialism and brings up greed instead of desti ny. Wo can make only a few ex tracts : "When the advocates of imperial ism find it impossible to reconcile a colonial policy with the principles of our government or with the canons of morality, when they are unable to defend it on the ground of religious duty or pecuniary profit, they fall back in helpless despair upon Isdestin^^ Assemuii uiat'i^^^^^^^Sup St does violate w^^M^ltutlon’, they nay. ’Suppose it does breatc all the commandments; suppose it does en tail on the nation an incalculate^ex- penditure of blood and money; it is destiuy and we must submit.’ * * * * To whom has the future been re vealed? Whence this voice of au thority? We cun all prophesy, but prophecies are merely guesses colored by our hopes and surroundings. Man’s opinion of what is to be, is half wish and half environment. Avazice paints destiny with a dollar mark before it, and militarism equips it with a sword.” The speaker then proceeds to show from history that many predictions which once bore the hue of prophecy have failed of fulfillment because those who uttered them saw too small an arc of the circle of events. Pharaoh, Belshazzar, Napoleon and many others had thought that they were impelled by destiny, but destiny had boen revealed to them at last in overwhelming and irreparable calam ity. "Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice; it is a thing to be achieved.” The speech is a powerful one from the beginning to the end, and can only be answered as infatuated tyran ny always answers protest and re buke, that is with the strong hand of power. THE CKOWMNU IIOKKOK. On last Saturday dispensary con stable Crawford uccompunid by two other constables went to the house of John Stuart, a clerk in Mimnaugh’s store in Columbia ar.d was about to search the house for whiskey. Stuart was not at home, and his wife protested against the search, and sent for her husband. When Stuart ar rived he remonstrated with the con stables and declared that they should not enter his house while he was alive. Crawford struck him in the face once or twice with a pistol, af ter which Stuart opened fire. Mrs. Stuart tan in between tne combat ants and Crawford shot her through the breast with a 44 caliber ball. She died next day in the Columbia hospital. Sluart was shot in the mouth, the bail severing his tongue and lodging in the back part of the neck. He may recover hut his chances are slim. Crawford was shot in the arm. The people of Co lumbia were g r eatly excited and it was thought necessary to call out the military to protect the constables though there was no attempt made at lynching. The three constables were safely landed behind the bars of the penitentiary. Such is a brief out-line of another dispensary horror. Surely it is the crowning one, and the cup of dis pensary iniquity is at last full. The crime was perpetrated within a stone’s throw of the Executive man- the Governor sits authority to execute to wield the whole State; it was perpe trated loo just after the adjourn ment of a weak-kneed Legislature which had put its endorsement upon the dispensary as a moral institution operating in the interest of sobriety, good order and humanity. To add to these astounding anoma lies, the state is now both prosecutor and defendant. It seems that in order to make any show of consist ency the Attorney General will have to prosecute the constables, and at the same time will have to defend them as State officers. Where are we and whither are we tending? Surely the dispensary is heaping up wrath against the day of wrath, and the people will soon rise in their might and shake off the horrid night mare.

Then we shall not hear so much talk about good wagon roads, for ws shall not be so completely at the mercy of King Mud. The truth is we can baili railroads more easily and cheaply than we can build smooth and dura ble wagon roads. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The democrats in Congress have betn doing some good work. They have, In a large measure, made up for deficiency in numbers, by activity, shrewdness, and pnriumentary skill. Never have these qualities shone out more brilliantly than they did in the management of the Hull army bill. It seemed certain for a time that the bill would pass in its original shape and that the country would have a regular standing army of 1(X),000 men put into the hands of the President to be wielded accord ing to his pleasure. But by shrewd manipulations the bill was finally so amended that the most of the new levies of troops will constitute a provisional army to serve only two years, and the regular army will not be increased much above its present numbers. We consider the out-come of the bill as the result of superb management and skill on the part of the democrats and believe that the ultimate effects will be those of a far- reaching victory for conservative de mocracy.

Etta Jane, Feb., 25.—For a few days we have had good weather for farm work. The roads are drying off and travel is being resumed. Miss Ethel Strain is quite unwell at present. £Mi89 Bettie Blair’s school bad a spelling match yesterday evening. Miss Smarr was in this section last Sabbath. Misses Janie Ross, Sudie Brown and Lula Jenkins answered our scrip ture question of last week. See Num bers XXI, 9; Deut., XVIII, 18; Psalms XVI. 9, XXII and CXXXII, 11. They all reler to Christ. Messrs. Watson & Fowler are bor ing a well for the Fowler Brothers. The legislature is being severely criticised for what it did and did not do. Everybody can’t be pleased any way, and we will say nothing to add fuel to the fire. The questionable status of the ferry law as left by the legislature is receiving more atten tion our way than anything else. It appears that those ferries hereafter chartered will not be required to put people over free going to church. I have carefully examined the "Life and Career of Col. James D. William, u Marty-Hcro of «,he Revo lution.” written by Rev. J. D. Bailey, aud pronounce it a first-class literary work on which Mr. Bailey has spent much time and patient research, to say nothing of money. Tne pam phlet is worthy of a place in any body’s library. Mr. Bailey deserves the plaudit "well done” for this work. He quotes only standard au thorities. When a statement is tra ditional it is carefully noted, and when a conflict of statements occurs he notes them dispassionately and leaves the reader unembarrassed and unprejudiced. This work is entirely a home production and as an encour agement for further efferts every pa triotic American who has a proper appreciation of the cost of American freedom ought tc patronize the au thor by buying a book. Aside from the merits of the book we must con gratulate "The Ledger” on tiie me chanical execution of the work. The publication would reflect credit on any metropolitan publishing house. Friend DeCamp and his corps of gen tlemanly assistants know how to handle types when they get in dead earnest on a meritorious production. A discerning friend said by way of complimenting President Tucker’s sermon, "You seemed to more con cerned about the truth than about men.” This did him good all the days of his life, he said. God hides some ideal in ever man soul, and at some tiu^yp^ 1 ^* finds a trembling, Me do some 1 0' 1 tP ll g to will meet the of it’s fellow man as well as Telp him. Life finds its noblest spring of excellence in the hidden impulse to do our best at all times. Martin Luther is quoted as saying, "The best name by which we can speak of God is that of Father. It is a loving, deep, sweet heart touching name. By this name ,ve deeply touch our God since there is not a sweeter sound to the father than the voice of his child.” Dr. J. F. McCluney, we regret to learn, is quite sick with something like grip. He has been complaining for some time but not seriously ill. Washington’s birthday passed without any special demonstrations. There was to have been a pound party at the home of Mr. F. A. Go forth, but the rain broke it up. Sev eral were sadly disappointed. Of course we are a buck number and were not allowed to participate and therefore can’t te!l anything. But if all the girl’s cakts compared with that of the one we saw (and we have ever reason to believe they did) the table would have been a daisy. Sometime ago a stranger passed the bouse of one of our neighbors and see ing a florid complected man called and asked if they kept anything for "snake bite” there. The man who Beils the truth for gain is u brother to Judas. We can learn more from our own failings than from the wisdom of other people. Last Thursday was a stormy day and the high wind made out door un pleasant if not in some place danger- ou*. Township Commissioner P. S. Web ber came down last Wednesday to take action in having the bridge at Howell’s Ferry repaired. He will bring the matter to the attention of the board at its next meeting. Hon. C. W. Whisonant came home last Wednesday, the legislature hav ing adjourned. He looks well and in good spirits. The recent cold snap has brought to the memory of several old persons times in which the weather was colder than the late spell. Just as soon us the ground will plough farmers will go to sowing oats. Mr. Sam W. Foster made a flying triy to Clifton this week. We regret to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Tom Dorman's child died last Thursday. We did not learn what was the matter. It is very much to be regretted that the legislature refused to eon- tiue the work of collecting and pub lishing the Confederate records. Wo are not disposed to charge our legis lature with unfaithfulness, yet it is well understood that it made the cus- tomery blunder of needlessly pro longing its session fighting over measures in which there was noth ing hut gas against time, when but very little more than a singly per diem would have given to tho world a history of which not only South Carolina hut the whole American na tion would have been proud and one that would have reflected honor on the Confederate soldiers. We cannot think that the vast amount ol manuscript written and stored away in the office of tho State historian and elsewhere will fail to see the light. Then those who have so effectively crippled tho work will be the first to tell what "we don*.” Col. Thomas, the State historian, however, come to the front with com mendable patriotism and makes this statement which to us sounds more like a funeral oration than the shouts of u victorious conqueror. He says :— "Inasmuch as the General Assem bly has made no provision for the continuance at presen of tho work of the Confederate histo.ian’s office, it becomes necessary for the under signed to define and declare its status. The office will remain open to the reception of Confederate papers and to such amendments and addi tions to tiie roll us may be eent in. with the view of futher'perfecting the record of South Carolinuiin tho war between tiie States. Until be returns his commission to t lie Governor of the State, the undersigned, while other wise engaged, will be pleased to make this contribution to the cause of the Confederate soldiers of South Caro lina. Miss Bettie Blair has given us a correct answer to our question of last week. The watch was worth $25 (X). Mr. J. R. Poole, of Sunnysidc, has been appointed magistrate for this (Gowdeysvillc) township. Jimmie Strain has been putting up pasture fencing for a few' days. He is another of Cherokee’s hustling young farmers who takes his working qualities after his mother. Walking at the rate of three miles an hour it takes a man six minutes to walk one side a triangular field, eight minutes to walk the sec ond and ten minutes to walk the third. Prove that the field is a right angle triangle and tell how many acres it contains. j. l. b. COMMENTS ON THE LEDGER. What Some of Our ExcluingeH Ilsvi- to Say Concerning the Semi-Weekly. The Gaffney Ledger has entered the semi-weekly circle. We wish it ‘.he best success—Chester Lantern. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Gaffney Ledger, one of the best weeklies in South Carolina, has changed to a semi-weekly. Success attend the venture!—Sumter Free man ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Gaffney Ledger lias come out as a semi-weekly. Tho Ledger is a first-class sheet in every respect, and we hope this new move will prove advantageous—Southern Publisher. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We notice that our neighbor, tiie Gaffney Ledger, has changed from a weekly to a semi-weekly. It is a bad symptom. There is generally some thing wrong when a weekly paper changes to a semi-weekly ; generally the feeling, no doubt that It lias not been doing as it thought it ou;^ do, and tiie change is a retua)**^^ 0 effort to get what it out to have. We have. , , several ert themselves into 7)ies, and so far have failed to see where any one of them became a bet ter paper by the transition ; on the other hand, they generally became very much poorer. We hope The Ledger may prove the first exception. —Yorkviile Yoeman. [We will eit her make this the excep tion or revert to the weekly. This is only an experiment and we will wait a sufficient length of time before an nouncing the permanency of the change. So far it has been flatter ingly received by its supporters, but it is too early to pass judgement yet.—Ed.] Have You Heard Of it? You may have heard about SCOTT'S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it is cod-liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive fea tures. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palata ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly ail children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream-, it nour ishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence, it bears about the same rela tion to other emulsions that cr ’am does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called “just as good” preparations, you will find that this is a fact. The hypophojphitcs that are combined with the cod-livcr oil give additional value to it because they tone up the nervous system and impart strength to the whole body. \oc and$i oo all drUHgiit*.

Groyku, Feb., 27.—I am a reader of The Ledger and like the semi weekly. Farmers are not getting their oats sowed probably as soon as they would like to on account of so much rain. Mrs. Nancy Turney, of this section, who bus been sick for several days, I am glad to say is some better. The time is drawing near when the fertilizer companies will get rid of their fertilizer and make a great per cent, off of it, us they generally do. But the farmers will buy it aud raise four and five cent cotton. Tho farmers have got to the point where they believe they can’t do without it. If Uncle Sam keeps on warring with other nations some of us will get something to do. It won’t be long now till the hunt ers can lay up their guns to rest for r while.

CANCER IS DEADLY! Results Fatally in Nine Gases Out ot Ten-A After months of ineffectual treat ment, including painful and dangerous surgical operations, the sufferer from Cancer finds himself growing steadily Curfi Fminri At I A^t woree and uear er the grave each day and UUIG rUU,,U a \ Ld51, needs no further proof to convince him that this dreadful disease is beyond the doctor’s skill. Cancer can not be cured by a surgical operation, because the dis ease is a virulent poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although the sore or ul cer—known as the Cancer—may be cut away, the poison remains in tho blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with renewed violence. The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases, which were considered incurable, induced a few despairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill of tho physicians, without a cure. Much to their de light S. S. S. proved equal to the disease, and promptly effected a cure., The glad news spread rapidly, and it was soon demonstrated beyond doubt that a cure had at last been founds for deadly Cancer. Evidence has ac-j cumulated which is incontrovertible/ and every citizen of South Carolina- can easily verify the following state ment of a resident of their own State: Mr. J. B. Arnold, of Greenwood, writes: “Several years ago a tiny ir appeared just undauiiY^ii£Ae- . and soon „„ 0 rapidly, spreading and destroying tho flesh. It gave mo a great deal of pain—those sharp, darting pains so characteristic of Cancer. I took many so-called blood medicines, without tho slightest effect, and sought tho help of the beet physicians, but they did me no good; one told me, however, that I was incurable, aud had bettor make my arrangements accordingly. I was on the verge of despair when Dr. J. L. Miller, one of the leading druggists of my town, recommended S. S. S. The first bottle seemed to make me woree, but he told me this was a favorable sign, and by the time I had taken the second bottle, the Cancer began to discharge, and as I continued this became quite profuse, and kept up for some time. Then it gradually grew less, and after a while ceased altogether, and to my delight the place dried up and was cured entirely, so that nothing remains but a scar.” Our book on Cancer, containing other testimonials and valuable information will be sent free to any address by the Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. bet Say flister!
