WHOLESOME K EE I.ECT IONS. Men who are dishonest at heart are quick to accuse others of dis honesty, and in general the slandere. may be set down as being just as vile a man as he represents his vic tim to be. The reason is not hard to find. The dishonest man holds honesty, of course, in light esteem, and he often accuses another man of dishonesty because he knows that if placed in that other man's position, ho himself would act dishonestly. II : s reasoning wears the garb of sound logic. Tlaco him in the other man’s position and he will soon de monstrate his own dishonesty. These reflections are inspired by a glance at public happenings in South Carolina during recent years. In 187G the vilest horde of political marauders, that, under thejforms of law, over plundered a civilized coun try were driven from power and the natural rulers of the state took up the reins of government with the peerless Hampton in the lead. There is not a blot to be found on the re cord of the next sixteen years. The ship of slate had been well nigh wrecked, but she was righted and newly r.ggod by skilful hands, and guided by SKilful pilots she moved with majestic grace through the treacherous waters towards the harbor of peace and prosperity. It is a remarkable fact that from the inauguration of Hampton to that of Tillman, a period of sixteen years, only one state officer ever fell short in his accounts, and he only to the amount of a few hundred dollars, which was quickly made good. This, too, when the foul tongue of the slanderer was busy in attempts to blacken the brightest names in the state, and the keen eyes of envy and malice were searching the records with the fierce intentness of a basi lisk. The spirit of so-called reform be came rampant—a spirit compounded oi anvy, ignorance, malice, and blind prejudice. In the march of that spirit, true, tried, and clean men were discarded, and the state offices were filled largely with adventurers, who owed their advancement to the prejudices and passions they had aroused at the sacrafice of every principle of justice, fairness, and honor. About one half of the period of the life of the “old ring,” has been ac complished, and how stands the re cord to-day? Taxes increased and still increasing; rebates on whiskey to the amount of $200,000 unlawfully appropriated by some one unknown ; Governors making bond deals to their own individual profit; State whiskey- sollers defaulting and not punished; State constables shooting down inno cent men and women with impunity; and finally, thej superintendent of the penitentiary a defaulter to the amount of $10,000, while the end is yet to be reached. Let us all reflect on these little chapters of our State history. ton planters, provided with a good gag and a pair of buggy »races, call on Mr. Neill and labor earnestly and faithfully with him to bring about a better state of feeling, checking all vociferous remonstrances with the aforesaidfgug and emphasizing the arguments with the aforesaid traces. THE TOMIEKTS. Governor Ellerbe’s proclamation commanding the people of Green wood and Abbeville counties not fur ther to modest or intimidate the Tolberts, and promising the protec tion of the law to all citizens in the pursuit of legitimate avocations, is proper and just, though a little lato. We hope there is enough ••espect for law and order in those counties to in sure a hearty obedience to this proc lamation. If the Tolberts have com mitted crimes it would be the easiest matter in the world, with the present feeling against them, to convict them b< fore a jury. If they have not com mitted crimes they have the right to enjoy their homes and attend to their bus ness, and no set of men can justly deprive them of that right, however obnoxious their private characters may be. We have no love for the Tolberts, but their is far more than the Tolberts involved in this matter. ABOUT CUBA. NOTES AND COMMENTS. A FIFTY-MILLION OLESS. Things have come to a pretty pass when one man can make a guess which will cost the Southern farm ers millions of dollars; and yet, ac cording to the New York Sun, that is exactly what has happened. A man by the name of Neill, in New Orleans, an agent of foreign cotton speculators, has of late years gained much notoriety as a guesser at the amount of cotton the whole crop would yield. He has established such a reputation as a cotton pro phet that he seems to hold the mar ket pretty much in his hands and the price goes up or down at his word. Last fall before a bale had been harvested he announced that there would be a crop bordering on to 12,000,000 of bales. The result was that the priee dropped down and staid down in spite of increased de mand, light movements, and the ef forts of the Bulls. Now the 8un says the fact is coming to light that Neill was mistaken in his esti mate, and that the crop will barely be sufficient to supply the world’s demands and as a consequence prices must rule much higher. In the meantime, however, the bulk of the crop has passed out of the hands of producers, and the farmers are minus at least fifty millions of dollars which they would have had but for the effect of Neill’s guesses. We suggest that before the planting o ’ the next crop a delegation of the cot- President McKinley is down in Georgia again. Wc hope he will not display any Confederate flags this time, nor have anything more to say about taking care of Confederate flags. Leave the Confederate graves to the care of our women. Mr. Presi dent, and let the Confederate flag re main furled forever. A petition bus been sent from Greenville, signed by most of the leading citizens, asking the authori ties to close the Greenville dispensa ries for one month, pending the mus tering out of the soldiers, and Chair man Haselden of the State Board of Control has gone up to see about it We thought from all that wo had seen and heard, that Greenville loved the soldiers so dearly that she would divide half her living with them. It will be too bad if she refuses to strengthen the attachment by “one bumper at parting.” IN VIRGINIA. They Are Having Know StorniM W hile We liaak in SuiiMhiue. .Correspondence of The Ledger.) Manchester, Va.. March 7.—Sev enth of March with a snow eight inches deep on the ground which fell last night. While in South Carolina you are enjoying the balmy zephyrs spring we are tradging through snow eight inches deep. Your farmers are no doubt preparing for the coming crops without any molestation, while the farmers of this section are not yet thinking of planting their crops for the coining year, content ing themselves with hauling wood and keeping their families warm. There is a freshet in James river which has nearly reached the bridges. The bridges are all safe except Mayo’s bridge, which may go. They are do ing all they can to save it. A gentleman approached me a few days ago, and asked. “Are you from South ^Carolina?” I replied, “Yes. I have lived there for sometime.” He asked, “What kind of a country can it be? Do you have laws there that govern your state.” I replied, “Yes, we have laws there, same as other States. Well,” says he, “howls it that they allow them State Con stables (as they call themselves) lo go into a man’s house and shoot down his whole family because somebody said that be had liquor in the house?” I replied that was accordance with the laws of the State. Then said he: “1 would not live in such a State for any amount of money.” I give you the above to show how the people of this section look upon South Caro lina at a distance. I will give you another illustration: A manufact urer of tobacco wanted a traveling man as a drummer ,for South Caro lina. A young man applied and said he would go anywhere except in South Carolina. He would not tro there for any amount of money. If your legislature at its last ses sion had modified the dispensary law so as not to make it so obnoxious to the people at large it would have been much better for the reputation of the State. Indeed, I don’t think there is any prohibition in the present law, and it would be much bet ter to go back to the old regeime like other States. Uncle Jimmy. We have saved many docter bills since we began using Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy in our- home. We keep a bottle open all the time and whenever any of my family or myself begin to catch cold we begin to use the Cough Remedy, and as a result we never have to send away for a doctor and incur a large doctor bill, for Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy never fails to cure. It is certainly a medicine of great merit and worth.— D. 8. Mkaukle, General Merchant and Farmer, Mattie, Bedford count}, Fa. For sale by Cherokee Drug Co.

Cami 1 Colemiha, Havana, Ceisa, March 1.—It is said that we have the prettiest camp in this corps. It is about }J(K) feet above sea level, and about, three miles from the beach though we can plainly see from this distance the white-capped waves roll up on the rocky shore. Distance is deceiving here if measured by the eye. I cannot explain why it is thus, un less it is because of so many hiilsand valleys. Tliis is a beautiful, rich country; and were it not for tho dreaded yellow fever, and other plagues, many an American would make Cuba his home for life. There are majestic moun tains, beautiful hills, and fertile val leys. 1 have stood on the summit of some of these high hills and beheld with rapturous admiration the grand panorama. Everywhere green foliage, and fragrant flowers dispelling their sweet perfume to be taken up by the gentle sea zephyrs and wafted through the camps of the soldiers. It is hard to realize that in a country with such great natural advantages and wonder ful resources its inhabitants are so ig norant and depraved. I believe that it is healthy the year round on the hills near the sea coast. A cool, delightful sea breeze is blow ing all tho time. All kinds of vegeta bles are cultivated—are growing beau tifully to-day. Farm products are grown. The chief farm products are sugarcane and tobacco. One tobacco crop right after another is raised. It is hard for your readers to believe. I know, that it is so warm here, when you are having such cold weather in the States. It is very warm at noon to-day—loo hot to stir about in the sun. Havana is a great city—great in every sense of the word. It takes about a week to see it properly. It has about 300.000 inhabitants, and thousands of stores and other big business con cerns There are Indians, whites and ne groes here. They have all the vices of the three races, and the virtues of none. Of course there are many re fined and cultured men and women here. They are away up on the arts. The aristocratic classes wear much jewelry and precious stones—wearing finger rings and large earrings. They are the most beautiful women in the world. I believe. Black, glossy hair, lustrious dark eyes, and olive com plexion. They have small, well shaped hands and feet. They dress plainly, but neatly. Calico and lawns are mostly worn, the prevailing colors be ing cream and pink. They do not wear corsets—an example for Amer ican women! Many of tho women smoke cigars and chew tobacco. I have seen the wreck of th« “Re membered Maine,”—have been near it. It makes one feel sad to look up on this mass of steel, and to think how many brave Americans went down with her. . Old Morro Castle is anoth er interesting sight, and looks like the pictures of it, seen in America. I must tell something of the boys. I must not use too much of your space in writing about the island and its people this time. I have written briefly upon the subject. I could write three columns. On the 18th ult., we started out on a ten-days march over the island to “see the sights,” and have a good(?) time. I believe it was to intimidate tho Cubans, and train us; for surely we did not have a good time, but saw many curious things on this march. Our whole brigade, the 4fh and 9th Illinois, and the second South Caro lina Regiments, went on the march. Each man carried his rifle, dog-tent, meat sack, and canteen filled with water.—about twenty pounds. The first day they marched us about twen ty miles before we stopped to camp, without even letting us eat dinner. We were tired and hungry soldiers when we pitched our little dog tents that afternoon. - The wagons carried the cooking utensils and rations to cook our meals. We went about forty miles before we reached our journey’s end. We camped at Guinest, a town of about 5,000 inhabitants, and stayed there three days. Here we passed in review before the great Cuban gener al, Maximo Gomez. He paid our reg iment was “much-a-wehner” (very good). We saw corn tasseling and silking, and some of the boys stole some mutton corn and ate it One time we camped on a grave yard where there had been a battle, and we found many skulls and bones sticking out of the ground. Surgeon Lieut. Poore found a grave where a man’s hair and mustache were sticking out of the ground, having been im|*roperly bur ied. He brought the skull “home” with him. At Guinest there was an underground cave. It was a long, deep one, and many bones were found it) it. I have some beautiful pieces of tock that I secured as relics in this cave. The boys stood the march very well, but they hope they will not have to tackle another one very soon Those who went are glad, for they have proved themselves soldiers, brave and true. We all want to go home. We are tired of this life, and “Uncle Sam” don’t need us now. And so many of us are farmers we want to go home to see after early planting. It is certain we will be in Columbia again in forty days time. Very little sickness in the regiment. We enjoy better health here than at any camp yet. We all have a good time on the outside, and we are learn ing Spanish so that we can ,, coo”(I don’t know about “woo”)tothe beau tiful senoritas. We enjoy “Flaw Picker,” and hope that his articles will do all as much good as they 4 do me. T. W. Wood. Co. “B,” 2nd Reg., S. C. Vols.

My dear friends an’ fellow citizens* in talkin’ of bnin’scand of ghosts, an’ squitch owls, an’ so forth, brings buck to mind a time wherein 1 was scared an’ thar weren’t no ghosts in a hundred miles as 1 kuowd of. Folks an’ fellow citizens, that was a time when I says to myself, says I, “legs, my dear little fellers, save the dearest piece of meat you were ever hung on to—my body—fer they’re a sbootin’ at it to heat six bits.” A feller can git scared in us many different ways as he can git in jail. A few weeks back I tole you of one way a man could git scared an’ I don’t know ef hit aint about the worst way a man can git scared—way off by yourself in the pitch duik ao’no way to run an’ scared so bud you couldn’t run ef you seed a chance for hole of safety. Another way of bein’ scared is for somebody to make a siappin’ fuss behind you. You will jump like you are shot but hit is all over within a pair of minutes. Then there is another kind of scare that I know’ of what makes a leller feel powerful bad—especially these sweet—beurin fellers—a scared of gittin' scared. I’d jist as leave have a genuine case of it as to be in that kind of a fix. Hits jist about as close a kin to cowardice as anything you ever saw. Bub that aint a tellin’ of you what I started to tell you. Hit was a way back yander in plum time when I was only a lad of a boy of about tea sum mers, an’ jist in my prime to make my legs serve me proper when I called on them in such a case of emergency. I recollect it jist as same as if hit was only yesterday. Me an’ my onliest friend, Ed Yoder, which you understand, wo lived at Newton, N. O , at that time, an’ most inginerully when you would see one of us after sun up you would see the other— how those fond recollections come back as I set uiF think back of the sweet blisses, happiness, content ment, joy world without end! Ah! those precious boyhood days have vanished as the sun behind the cloud an’ only now an’ then its cun bo seen. The Narrow Gauge railroad run up past the back of the Presbyterian church whilst, you understand one Dr. West lived jist beside it, an’ thar was jist about room enough between the back of his house an’ the church, an’ the railroad fer a good sized plum nursery. Hit was plum time, ns I have said befor. an’ me an’ Ed was awful hands fer trash, so one day, in broad open day light, we got into this plum patch an’ begun to help ourselves. From the railroad down the other way was u gradual slant to the woods, about two hundred yards as well us I recollect, to where one was most liable to git in case of energency. We were a eatin’ of plums to beat the bund when lo an’ b<-hold we looked up above us a piece an’, by gracious, thar stood the doctor with a glitterin’ pistol in his hand, an’ a lookin' rigiit straight at us. You understand my onliest friend Ed Yoder weren't quite as old as I was but ho would weigh nearly twice as much—a great big fatohuffy feller an’ it was most all ho could do to walk much less run, but, by gatlins, when we looked up an’ saw that gun an’ the doctor in close tctch we made a rake fer our hats an’ a brake fer the woods. I never wanted to run faster worse in my life, mi’ to be right honest I don’t raley bleevc I ever did run faster in my life, accor din’ to the length of my legs. I made the brake an’ poor old “Fatty” follered suit—across the railroad an’ down the hill. I beam the doctor holler somethin’ an' I looked back over my shoulder jist In time to hear him shoot an’ see poor Ed fall. My God! I was jist a tetchiiv of the ground in high places when I looked Jbaek, an’ he shot. I seemed to rise above high water mark whilst the wind sizzed in my ears. Finally at last I reached the woods an’ darted behind a tree I hadn’t more'n got good an’ stopped when Ed come a bustin’ in behind me. Instid of the doctor a sbootin’ of Ed he bad got oyer balanced an’ fell jist as the doctor had shot. My friends an’ feller citizens, that was one score that hit seemed to me like I could of kept up steam all day an’ made skedule time on. Yours truly. Flaw Picker. Sweat-shop investigations in New York have found that men, women and children work as much as 18 hours daily, the men for 45 cents u day and women and children for much less It is very hard to stand Idly by and see our dear ones suffer while await ing the arrival of the doctor. An Al bany (N. Y.) dairyman called at a drug store there for a doctor to come and see his child, then very sick with croup. Not finding the doctor in, he left word for him to come at once on his return. He also bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, which he hoped would give some relief until the doctor should arrive. In a few hours he returned, saying the doctor need not come, as the child was much better. The druggist, Mr. Otto Scholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberluir.’s Cough Remedy to their neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the county.

Irtoullti'rn Farm MaKu/.lne.] I have made it a practice lx raise v.trit.uH crops and not put. all my capital and labor in one or two crops —a risky business and often the cause of a small hank account and an empty larder. 1 have found it pays big to raise a little of many crops, as it seldom happens > tiiat everything sells below a fair profit on pro duction. Wheat, corn, timothy, clover, sorghum, potatoes, for sale and home raise, give a pretty fair show to have s(**ie surplus to sell. Hogs, cattle, horses and mules to feed and keep up supplies for home and farm use besides, give one some thing to sell nearly every month in the year. For table use chickens, eggs and butter are raised in quan tity enough to have a surplus to sell and give the housewife a chance to keep up kitchen supplies. Add to the above a good vegetable garden, asparagus, rhubarb, gooseberries, currants, cherries, apples, peaches, pears, etc , and it would indeed be a poor farmer that could not have enough and to spare. 8uch farming will give a man opportunity to put in all his time attending to his own af fairs and not sitting on goods boxes and loafing in country stores or around saloons, as too many one or two-crop farmers now do. Tobacco I have raised by tenant, and it comes just like so much clear gain. No man not absolutely lazy need fear the poorbouse who will pursue mixed farming, besides the comfort and pleasure it gives his family to know that there is always something in eight to eat and sell, buy clothing, pay taxes, etc. The truly independ ent farmer is tho one that comes nearest to producing all needed sup plies.
