Chairman Haselden has not yet determined whether he will close the dispensaries in Greenville during the mustering out of the soldiers as he has been asked to do by the citizens in a strong petition. It seems to be. a serious matter for this great moral institution to lose a month's time in its work of diminishing drunkenness, and the chairman must carefully weigh all the circumstances before he can reach a decision. It is rather a remarkable coinci dence, that just about the time that we hear of the purported death bod confession of Mrs. Anderson in re gard to the killing of Williams at Blacksburg, the men who were con victed of the killing, Reese and Luckie, and who escaped from the Yorkville jail, are located in Arizona. It is probable that they will be brought back to serve a life sentence in the penetentiary, and Mrs. Ander son’s so called confession will hardly affect the sentence. The way of the transgressor is hard. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Let the oats go in every day the ground can be plowed till the first of April. If they can get rain through May and June they will be as much at home as if they had been sown last fall. We heard a farmer say the other day that the finest oats ho ever raised were sown on the 22nd of March. It is a botanical fact that wheat and oats are an nuals and not biennials. Their na ture is to develop from the seed and come to maturityji^ one season like corn and cotton, and they do not re quire parts of two seasons for devel opment. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The burning of the Windsor Hotel in Xew York in broad day light, with the terrible loss of life accompanying it, has aroused the city authorities to the importance of devising some means of protection for hotel livers. The legislature will be asked to pass a ' authorizing the commissioner of miildings to investigate and if necessary to demolish all hotels that are not absolutely fire proof. It is a little difficult for us whe are not ac customed to largo hotels to see how it was that so many people could not get out, considering that the fire oc curred in day time when everybody is supposed to be awake. We met one of our staunch push- jng farmers on the street the other jmin answer to the qestion, nrr.i ■■" TTi i ■ to do, if the rains continue to come,” said, “why, just wait patiently for them to stop. Nobody is seriously hurt yet. There is plenty of time left, and weeks to spare, to prepare the land and make a crop. Two years ago I did not strike a lick on my farm till the first of April, and never made a better crop in my life.” We hope that most of our farmers are taking just such a view of things and manifest ing just such a spirit. There never was anything made by moping and complaining. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The analysis of the water from Gaffney’s deep well, published in another column, will be gratifying to many interested readers. At last there is a prospect before the town of an abundant supply of water abso lutely free from surface contamina tion. We hope that our enterprising Council will now not be satisfied until they get a standpipe of sufficient ele vation to secure the right pressure and of sufficient capacity to meet any unergency. We hope further that mains will be so extended, that every man within the corporate limits, willing to pay for a hydrant, can have one. In many respects this deep well is the most valuable posses sion that Gaffney has over acquired— the most valuable because it will contribute more to the health, com fort, and happiness of the town than any other. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ All news that comes thiough regu lar channels from Manila, is subject to government censorship, and of course may bo expected to be partial and one-sided. But recently enter prising correspondents have been dodging the censors and sending re ports hy way of Hong Kong, which are far from encouraging. It is cer tain that “the white man’s burden” in the riiilippincs is a heavy one and is daily growing heavier. Aguinuldo cute off the lieads ot his generals who propose to him to surrender, and with ten millions of savages and thous ands of square miles of jungle at his back, and, a tropical climate all on his side, he says to Uncle Sam, as Leonidas did to Xerxes,, "come and take mo.” If there ever was game not worth the candle, us the old adage asserts, surely the United States is chasing it in the Philippines. It seems to bo as difficult and tedi ous a process now-a-days to muster out a few regiments of soldiers as it is to raise and equip an army. The estimated time required for muster ing out the five or six regiments al Greenville, is one month, one third the time Napoleon Bonaparte had in which’ to raise, arm and equip an army of 100,000 men and fight the battle of Waterloo. The Second South Carolina Regiment, now in Cuba, is now to be mustered out, and the problems as to how and where it is to be done are presented for so lution. It seems that Savannah has been selected as the place, but Gov. Ellerbe and Mayor Lipscomb are laboring with Secretary Alger to have it done at Columbia. There is yet a good deal of foolishness mixed with the greatness and glory of these hitter days. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ They have a little railroad over in Greenville running from Greenville City out into the country woods and known by the expressive name of ‘‘The Swamp Rabbit,” which is at tracting more attention in the Pied mont region just now than the whole Southern system. It seems that the owners of it are not able to oper ate it, and yet the people out in the woods declare that they shall. The owners attempted to dismantle it. and a force of about twenty hands sent to begin the work of removing the rails, under the supervision of a United States marshal, were arrested under warrants sworn out against them as trespassers. So the ‘‘Swamp Rabbit” seems to be in pretty much the condition in which we have seen many an old field cotton-tail when the dogs had it at one end and the boys at the other. The fur flew, the skin slipped, and sometimes the rab bit was pulled in two. But.whatever else might happen, between the boys and the dogs, there was no earthly chance for the rabbit. ♦ ♦♦-•■ What becomes of all the investiguj tions? The continental air of these United States is usually full of them and the balmy pine scented breezes of South Carolina are frequently Uunted with unpleasant odors stirred up and turned loose by investigating ct mmittecs. But the odors arc borne away by the passing winds, or they settle to the ground in the still air, or from their continued presence, they lose the power of alfecling our olfactories, and we settle down into a state of indifference, soon to inhale some fresh scent of slightly dilTerent flavor turned loose from some other heap of decaying morals. General Miles’ beef war has occupied more time than the whole Spanish cam paign, but the odors of the putrid beef are at last becoming faint, and it would seem that the decaj i;.g beef has about passed the odoriferous stage. In our state, we believe some thing like dry sand or coal dust lias been thrown temporarily over the Penetentiary heap, while a small hole has been bored in the lid of Pandora’s box by the-State Superin- tendant of Education. But we return to the question, What becomes of the investigations? Is any body ever punished after they are made? Is the country really benelitled by them? We pause for a reply. Want* th«‘ Koail Ijiw Amenilvd. Mr. Editor :—I do not know whether the present laws, as they now stand upon the statute books of South Carolina, make any provision for side walks, and foot bridges over streams where there are no bridges, or not. I do know a large amount of taxes is paid by the poor man. or by those who do not have the pleas ure of riding us some have. 1 hope the supervisors of the diilerent coun ties will look after this matter at once, and if there is any law to this effect, that they will have side walks and bridges for the man who pays his tax to work public roads. Perhaps he has not been so fortunate as some who have a horse lo ride to keep them from walking in mud holes and wading streams when they are up. Lets have wrongs righted. If this is not law I hope the mem bers of the legislature at their next session will make this amendment to the road law in South Carolina. Tax Paver. LIbIiI on the Mubjcrt of I.I<Mh WiiiiUmI. Mr. Editor;—Will you please be kind enougli to tell the people why wo have no street lights. If the lights are no good and not worth at tending to they should be disposed of us early us possible. We are told thutcertain parties are under contract and are being paid thirty dollars per month to keep these lumps trimmed and burning; and yet we haven’t seen more than one half of them burning nt any one time for the past year. ^fliis is an outrage.|and demands the immediate attention of those having the matter in charge. Will vou kind ly investigate the matter and let the people know exactly where the trouble is. Give us lights, or lets sell the thing out to the highest bidder.

The ••Kerniil" to Coiiiiik-iico ii CTiiivu** for SuhNerihvr* lo The I.e<i|cer--A (Tiihm of Vender* that Should he Tuved Out of Exhtteuce. Correspondence of Tne l.edprer.l Etta Jane, March 22.—The equi noctial gales came on schedule time and did their work effectually. Last Saturday night was an unusually stormy one and as a consequence Broad and Pacolet rivers and Thick- ety creek was higher than they have been for a long time. At Howell’s ferry the water was up to the wire last Monday. Rev. R. P. Smith, of Gastonia, N. C., (who is an Evangelist in North Carolina) has kindly sent me some valuable reading matter which ought to be in the beads of every Bible student. In marginal note he calls attention to the subject: "Ignorance of the Bible among Christians—Its causes.” No one better understands this work than does Mr. Smith. He is vigilent and aggressive and moved by the proper spirit in his work. Mr. W. G. Fowler (well known as Win. Goode Fowler) died last Wed nesday and was buried at Foster’s Chapel on Thursday. He was one of our army comrades and was always present "or accounted for” at roll call. But now “'Hi sleeps his last sleep: ho has fought Ills last buttle, "No sound can awake him to glory again.*' Rev. J. T. Fowler preached at Mesopotamia lust Sabbath. This was his first appearance before the public as a minister of the Gospel and I am truly glad to know that Ins effort exceed* d the t xpectation of his •friends who gave him a full house of attentive listeners. Mr. and Mrs. II. B. McDowell and children spent a few days on this side of the river during the high tide in Broad river. Several of our neighbors went to the court house last Monday to meet the ••Farmers Mutual Insurance Company” of Cherokee county. The Fowler brothers had a load of cotton set on fire last Monday while on the way to market hy a young man striking a match on one of the ties to light bis cigarette. Four bales caught and were considerably singed by the fire. Can’t tell what become of the cigarette. Peach blooms are very scarce this spring and the crop is killed ap parently. The boys go fox hunting every now and then, and give Rejnard a race for dear life. We are planting our Irish potatoes to-day. It’s about one month later than we usually are. G. M. Hill, our fathful mail carrier on the Gaffney route, has done well in facing the bad weather. He lias lost no time and his arrivals and depart ures are always on time. Our old friend ami army comrade Win. H. Sanders, of Kelton bus promished to come over and take a fishing spree with us this spring. He is doubtless as rich a case as his illustrious name-sake "Rufus San ders.” He is of those original char acter we don’t often meet with and he is not always particular whether his jokes square with the ten com mandments or not in the estimation of those whom he prop jses to sell out. Etta Jane, March 18.—The State Convention of Christian Endeavor will meet at Union April 1!> 21 inclu sive. O^r society will send a dele gation. The International Conven tion meets at Detroit Michigan in July next. In a few days your correspondent expects to begin a canvass of the county in the interest of The Ledger and also the International Publish ing Company, who have a large cata logue of good hooks, among them "Illustrious Americans.” These hooks are selected with great care and are adopted not only to the needs but tastes of a reading public. There is nothing in the list that any intelligent dispassionate reader can or will refuse to end ;rse—since I have become acquainted with so many good people—boys and girls especially—though the medium of The Ledger I hope to meet these face to face ami offer them not only the best country paper extant but the best catalogue of books from which to select that is now on the market at publishers prices. These books do not need the “taffy” of an astute salesman to recommend them.fthey speak for themselves. And the care ful reader will improve in both mind and soul. We only ask the public to wait and see the books before pass ing judgment on them. Some interesting questions have been asked and answered about the Bible which, of course, includes both the old and new Testaments script ures. Upon examination we find that the Bible contains u(i books. 1189 chapters, 31,173 verses, 773,092 words, o..j8G 189 letters. The mid dle ver.-e is the eight verse of the HSllt Psalm. The longest verse is the ninth verse of the eighth chap ter of Esther. The shortest verse is the thirty-fifth verso of the 11th chapter of St. John. Ezra 7 :21 con- ti ins all the letters of the Alphabet except “J.” The word "and” occurs 4G,277 times as has already been an swered. The word "Lord” occurs 18f>i times. The word ‘‘reverend” but once, which is in the 9th verse of the IJ It h Psuim. There are no six syllibles. Miss Don Ella Rice, daughter of Rev. W. I). Rice, of Bamberg, is visiting Miss Mary McCullough, at Wiikinsville. J. C. Otts, Esq , attorney at law, was before Magistrate J. R. Poole yesterday on professional business. The river was very high last Wed nesday and Thurrday. Mrs. Jane Bishop visited Mrs. J. L. S. yesterday and spent the day. A travelling man was through this section last Friday selling Memo versus to those who had lost de ones. This was a kind of a "slip up' on many of our *pcoplc. Some time ago a man claiming to be interested in the country’s history passed through this section taking the names, ages and dates of the deaths of children in some families, saying that in about two weeks another man would follow him and writ.e (I suppose right) up the history, and he wanted everybody to give him all the information they could. The historian was the party to which we alluded yesterday. We do not wish to reflect on or injure any one in a legitimate busi ness—far from it—we hid them God speed. But for a mother or father who has lost a dear child to find its name, age, date of death etc., ele gantly fixed up in a beautiful frame with some touching memorial lines and then asked to pay a fabulous price for it as u keep sake by some one speculating on their affection is too bad. Several were disposed of in this community under that head— parties putting themselves to trouble and inconvenience to get these keepsak»s. A good healihy tax on such vanders will not be out of placo at nil. Somebody sent Sam Strain a vilin- tine, and in a note accompanying it told him (Sum) to laugh the next time he met the sender. Wheat is beginning to come out since the weather has moderated. The peach crop will be an entire fail ure this year. J. L. s. PEA VINE CULTURE. Advice n* to What Varieties to Sow to Ob tain tlie Rest Rt-Kiilt*. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Lancaster. S. C., March 22.—The farmers are trying to get their fertili zers hauled before the ground gets dry enough to plow. From present appearances it seems that there is going to be quite a lot of it used this year. Let me urge upon the farmer to be sure and prepare his land well before planting, regardless of early planting. I prefer late planting with land well prepared, in preference to early planting with land half prepar ed. 1 have received several private let ters from some of your Ledger read ers. asking for information in regard to the best peas to sow to make vines, also the best way to put them in the ground. I prefer answering these let ters throuh the columns ofThe Ledg er. I prefer what is called the cow pea, or the “Wonderful,” either of which makes a considerable vine; while the speckled pea(orthe “Whip poorwill,”)makes a very short vine. For my own use I sow the “Whip poorwill” pea, as it will do to harvest at least three dr four weeks earlier than the cow pea or “Wonderful.” If you sow the “Whippoorwill,” do not sov. more than one bushel to the acre, and then let your first crop get about grown before you mow them. Do not h t them begin to ripen, if you do they will shell out and waste quite a lot of them in curing and handling; hut of the cow pea. or the "Wonderful,” do not sow less than one and one-half bushels to the acre. In order to make them grow in height you must sow them thick. If you sow them thin they will spread and run over the ground, and it will be al most impossible to mow them clean, as there is so much of the vine lying on the ground. I sowed one and a half bushels to the acre last year on as poor land as there is in Lancaster county, almost, ^nd my vines grew nearly us high as a common man’s shoulders, and some of them as high as his head. They averaged 2.400 pounds of well-dried hay to the acre. As to the way of sowing them— when I sowed in stubble I plowed them in with small twisters and then ran a brush over them. I believe the better plan would be, when one has a disk harrow, to plow up the land, then sow the peas and harrow them in; but our common tooth harrow will not cover them up deep enough in case it should Turn dry after sow ing. Your land should be left us smooth as possible on account of mowing. FARMER’S Fkik.nd. A Mexsage from I>r. Clark. Dear Christian Endeavorers of South Carolina:—I hope that a great many of you will be able to attend the coining State Convention at Union. If you had all attend*d the meeting in Union last year, at which it was my good fortune to be present, I am sure that you would have felt that your time bail been spent well. The spir itual quality of the morning hour of devotion, the earnest talks about the best methods of advancing the King dom of our Lord Jesus Christ, the de lightful social features and kindly hospitality of the people, the stirring addresss by the speakers of the con vention, the delightful visit to the Thornwell Orphanage, ai d our ac quaintance with Dr. Jacobs, that man of God, whoso earnestly favors Chris- tain Endeavor and every good cause, and the closing service of consecration and commitment to Christ, left mem ories that will not soon be effaced. All these delightful features, with the exception of tlio visit to the or phanage you will enjoy at Union, and others equally delightful will doubt less bo added. I know of one South ern young lady, whose pocket-book is not a fat one, who frequently says that she really cannot afford to go to the State Convention, but she can afford still less to stay away. I think the latter part of her statement is cer tainly true of a great muny of you— you cannot afford to miss these good things, ami your churches and socie ties will feel the benefit of your pres ence throughout the coming year That will be of far more moment than the money and the time which you spent upon the Convention. Though 1 shall not have the pleas ure of greeting you this year, our hon ored and beloved secretary. Mr. John Willis Baer, will be at the Conven tion and you will all want to greet him, as well as the others, whose words and presence will make "Union '99 ’ memorable. With affectionate greetings, 1 am faithfully yours, Francis E. Clark. To restore the Clear Skin, the Bright Eye, the Alert Gait and Sound Health, use Dr. M. A. Simmons Liver Medi cine. Shei HER lioy* uiid lil It I* She I’wtclic* Your More tlmn Any O Granny Picker is fliction, an’, God bless the general conflabulations which she alius likes to se" nights and speak forth to me in great gobs, of her wuy-back-yamler girlhood days. She is a gittin’ of sorter old an’ childish, you know, an’ when I think that some day the good Lord will deprive me entirely of the good words of advice, comfort, consolation, an’ of the interestin’ stories she is wont to tell, hit makes me feel gloomy an’ sad, fer there’s no sweeter words spoken on earth than them what is spoken by mother. No book writer ever wrote a better story than moth er can tell from her own dear ole lips; no woman or man livin’ can bake a better dodger or biskit than mother; nobody can put on a nicer patch than mother, an’ there’s nobody on the top side of the good Lord’s green earth wiiat can beat mother a siogin’ of them ole-timey hymns an’ doxolo- gies, and sometimes me thinks she loves to reflect hack up on her happy girlhood days when life was as a rose bud an’ full of ambition, as she sings the sweet anthems of love, at times, what she learnt whilst she was a tnakin’ of her choice of a mate for life an’ ontil death did them part. Now, I want to say right here whilst I am a talkin’ along this line, to every boy an’ girl—I will say son an’ daughter—ii you want to hear the sweetest music ever sung by mortal tongue; if you want to eat the best grub ever cooked ; if you want to live in the happiest home on earth, an’ if you want to grow up to be men an’ women of whom the world will be proud of, love, honor an’ obey your mother, an’ all these things shall be added onto you. You won’t hardly know what “mother” means ontel you have lived long enough to see her stooped with age. an’ worn out with constant toils an’ cares for you an’ your happiness. Mother will set lute at nights, strain her aged eyes by lamp light, patch britches, darn socks, remodel ole dresses an’ sich like fer to make you comfortable an’ home happy, whilst you are in bed asleep or out a gadin’ around, an’ I’ll bet five dollars, by gatlins, that you never even think of givin’ her u kiss of love, nor even a tellin’ of her that you thank her, whilst some boys wil’ stand up an’ cuss their mother—an’ I want to say right here that there are some girls what ain’t very fur be hind the boys, if the ruledyin’ truth was knowed. The boy or girl who tramples a mother’s love under their feet has committed next to the big gest crime on earth. My dear hoys an’ girls, when yon grow up to be ole men an’ women you will look back to a lovin’ mother who has loved you better than her own soul, an’ if you hain’t treated her as you should you will look back with remorse instead of fond recol lections.

Buffalo B; Li lt is very hard to stand idly by and sec our dear ones suffer while await ing the arrival of the doctor. An Al bany (N. Y.) dairyman failed 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 ut once on his return. He also bought a hot!le 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 Seholz, says the family has since recommended Chamberlaii.’s Cough Remedy to t heir neighbors and friends until he has a constant demand for it from that part of the county.
