The trial of th > fifteen men ac cused of the murder of Postmaster Baker at Lake City in February is under way before the United States Court in Charleston this week. The best legal talent of the State is engaged both for the prosecution and the defence, and the trial will be watched by the whole country with absorbing interest. We know noth ing gof course of the guilt or in nocence of the men charged with the crime, but we do know that the na ture of the crime was such as to de mand that the perpetrators shall be punished to thi utmost extent of the law. It was a premeditated, unpro voked, cold-blooded murder, and every such crime connived at or con doned by the public authorities, is a menace to society and a deep, indel- lible stain on the fair name of South Carolina. It is to be hoped that the United States Court can handle such a case more] vigorously and thor oughly than the State courts have ever done. Some of these times, it is ardently to bo wished, one or two broad-minded men fully impressed with their responsibility to society and not afraid to do their full duty will appear in the jury panel and whenever they do they will give the spirit of mob law a blow which will send it reeling to the ground covered with obloquy and the execrations of outraged humanity. A SWELL WKimlNO. One of the young Vanderbilts re cently married a Hiss Virginia Fair. Tiie groom has ten millions in his own right, and the bride brings as her marriage portion five millions more. The wedding presents mounted up into millions in value, and yet after all Mr. Vanderbilt and his bride are just a couple of mortals made up of flesh and blood and subject to ail the ills that flesh is heir to. There is many a young husband pulling the plow line behind a mule to-day, wiiose heart is bounding with nobler and purer aspirations than young Vanderbilt’s, and who is worth more in hi-i shirt sleeves and toil-begrimed pantaloons than the pampered favor ite of Fortune bedecked in tiie.trap pings of wealth andjpride ; and there is many a young wife dressed in calico or homespun, grappling with the daily duties of home with a brave true little heart and battling with daily d'seouragements with a sub lime faith that never falters, who will make her cottage homo radiant with hope and happiness, and who in “tiie pitli of sense and pride of worth,” in her steady devotion and uncompromising love, would put to shame the lanquid, pining heiress of Fortune arrayed in all-the parapher nalia of luxurious wealth. f<>oU their silks and knaves their wine, A man's a man for a' that." NO'l fcs aNU COMM ENTS. The bodies of three hundred and thirty-six officers and men who fell in the war with Spain, were buried in the Arlington cemetery, Washington, lust Thursday. President McKinley and Cabinet, the commanding gen eral of tiie army, and a concourse of lo <X)0 people witnessed the cere monies of interment, while bands played, and flags waved and cannon roared. It was perhaps all appro priate, but we are thinking of the dead who could neither see, heir, nor feel, and we can find no compensa tion to them in such u demonstra tion. “Cum honor’s voioe provoke the silent dustV Oi flattery soothe the dull, cold ear of death?" The Cuban military assembly Inis dissolved, and General Gomez is again supreme in Cuban affairs. It is a question whether this will prove fortunate or unfortunate for the policy of the United States, what ever ihat may he. Gomez is a surly old hull dog, whoso nature is to tight all comers. His character is nar row, resolute, arbitrary, exacting, and likely to make him a continual disturber. Hu demands the inde pendence of Cuba, and will accept no compromese. We should not he greatly surprised to hear before long that bo iiad called out his army again to try ids bund with the United Htalcs. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Hardly within tiie memory of our oldest citizens has there been a later spring or one more generally un favorable. There have not been more than two days together fit for plowing since last full. Farmers usually begin to plant cotton seed in this region by this time, but we doubt if there is an aero of ground now ready for cotton within five rtniles of GalTney. Possibly, I’rovi- dence has taken charge of tiie cotton crop and will manage for the benefit of Hie farmers. Then again tiie cold weather is far preferable to cy clones, which are likely to be de veloped by warm spring weather especially so this spring. There are compensations for every drawback. ♦ ♦ ♦♦ Dr. J. B. 0. Landrum, of Campo- bello, S. C., author of the Revolu tionary an l Colonial History of South Carolina, is engaged in writ ing another book, the History of Spartanburg county, as originally formed, including a large part of present Cherokee. Dr. Landrum, as we have before said, is a born histo rian, and lie will tell the story of Spartanburg County from its forma tion down to the present time, and will give sketches of its prominent men and detail the development of its leading enterprises, industrial and educational, with a love and en thusiasm that will be sure to inspire the book with more Ilian ordinary interest. The book will come out before the close of the present year and it should bo widely read. Colonel Neal announces that he is rei'dy to pay up ail the State money which he sq-.indered, if his counsel advise him to do so, and his counsel will advise it. provided all prosecution against him be dropped. So the upshot of it all will be, that Neal will pay back the money and go Scot free, and the authorities by accepting the conditions, will put at least a negative endorsement on his management and character. We do not wish to be hard or. a man who is in trouble, but if the investigating committee can find frauds aggregat ing over $10,000, is it not more than likely that there is a still greater amount which they cannot find? If Neal had been a trusted employe of a private corporation and had appro priated to his own use funds lo tiie amount of more than twenty dollars, he would in all probability have served a sentence behind the bars of that Institution over which he has recently presided. Bat irt his high position, with powerful friends and strong political connections, he can defy justice, quietly rub out his re cord, and begin a new career. This is reform with a big R.

It was the third of a series which are being given by the Wofford lyceum. This organization should he congratulated on Hie char acter of lectures it is now placing be fore the public. Messrs.

Tiie success ful contestant will represent the asso ciation in the Southern Scales Oritor- ical contest which takes place at Monteagie, Term., every summer. The sophtnoro class in trigonome try leave for Tryon Mountain, N. 0., this evening on a surveying tour. This is a trip which Trof.

Last Saturday evening the Calhoun and I’reston literary societies held their usual weekly meeting in th<*ir respective halls. It seems, from the warm debates we so often hear in these hails, that Hie students ore awaking to.the fact that society work is among the best of our college ma chinery.

Tiie Ledger W Miscarried and Causes » (AcmiiI Deal of Disappointment and Com plaint—What is being Said and Dono In Lower Cherokee. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, April 7.—By some oversight The Ledgers did not come to this office until yesterday, and the matter caused a good deal of disap pointment as well as complaint. Commander G. W. McKown bus called a meeting of Camp Jefferies U. C. Veterans at Wilkinsville on the loth inst., at 2 o’clock p. m. A full turn out is requested. Dele gates to the Charleston and Chester re-unions will bo elected, together with sponsors and maids of honor. Mr. Fierce Boole, of Sunnyside, .is getting better, we are glad to learn. Mr. 8. F. Estes attended Bresby- tery at Jonesville this week. 1 beg to say that “Brueihi’s” long silence caused us to lay aside all the papers pertaining to his case, and not being able to lind them we are not really able to quote his questions and our answers, word for word, or even remember all wo said concern ing them. But our recollection is we referred to our answers as our “guesses.” However, we will begin at tiie beginning and rehash tiie whole matter us near as our recol lection serves us, and we trust that “Bruelia” and our readers will bear us out or correct the mistakes we make in doing so. In tiie first place “Bruelia” ad dressing us says:—“J. L. 8., had your life depended upon a correct guess about that “Bruelia” problem may bo you would have been grunted a respite of two-lilteonlhs of a second.” He seemed to intimate that we had a bet on its solution. This is a mis take, brother. We are not in that kind of business and stated at the time that wo didn’t wish or intend for any ono else to be. We answered it us we understood it, and askul “Bruelia” for tiie rule by which to work it. We admit that, our memory is not very good, but if we are not badly mistaken the proposition read thus: “I bought a number of sheep and pigs for $120. Had the price of a pig been 40 cents less and the price of a sheep 25 cents more I could have bought the same number of each for $117.” Now we fail to see where one of the understood conditions of the problem is that the man (lie) bought an equal number of each. We understood it that Hie word ‘'each” referred solely to the number of each kind bought. But hud the words on “an equal” been used instead of “a” before number in the first line of the prob lem it would have changed our under standing and saved us an immense amount of work. Almost any school boy knows that 15 cents—(the dif ference between the increased and decreased prices of tiie animals) is contained in $3 00 twenty times, thus making the number of each kind of animals twenty at $3 00 a piece. 8o much for that. In regard t the chapter Garfield kissed, if Bruelia lias any correct in formation furiher than that based upon Hie common clap-tarp of news paper gossip wo don’t know it. We have known of at least live different passages pointed our ns the real one and its doubtful whether any of them are correct, we take it for granted Bruelia lias one of those, even of ours is a poor guess. In regard to the battle cry at Beunn Vista t’ruclhi is literally correut. But we gave one in connection which was used then and for many years af terwards in the corrupted language we ustd. This was used at a time and place that, did more than ail the shouts and huzzahs of a victorious army in winning the victory. So much for that. Our answer to ‘ Oh grub me act” was based upon an expression made by U. 8. Senator L. (1. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, while a member of that body. lie perhaps got it from the original which we have no doubt is correct. Then Bruelia dismisses us with a kind of benediction by saying: “Some other answers were not en tirely satisfactory but we will try and think that they were answered quite as well its any ono else could have done.” This is saying a good deal for us— enough to give us tiie big head on a large scale even if it did come from “Bruelia,”’who knows full well that among Hie readers of this paper are some of tiie-finest scholars in the land—botli male and female—and we don’t want them to think that we have as good an opinion of ourself in tiiis particular us lie has of us. However, it is a compliment for which we have a pardonable pride. He goes next into answering J. L. S.’s questions. 1. What is the oldest poem in existence? and on wliut occasion was it used? Ho answers Genesis 4:23 Wo think the 15th chapter of Exo dus much more reasonable. Head it. 3. In regard to Hie boundary lines between United States and British America, ho gives only the natural and imaginary rather than Hie time marks which wo asked for, wuich are stone cairns, iron pillors, earth mounds and timber posts. A stone cairn is 7$ by 8 feet; an earth mound 7 feet by 14 feet, an iron pil- lor 7 feet high and timber post live feet high. There are 885 of theso marks between the Lake of tiie Woods and the base of the Rocky Mountains. That portion of the boundary which ilea east and west of Red river valley is marked by cast iron pillors at even mils intervals. The British place ono every two miles and tiie United States one between each British post. Upon opposite faces of these pil lars are cast in letters two Inches high the following inscriptionsi “Oon- vent ion of London, October 20th, IMS.” Each of tiu.e pillars weighs 185 pounds and are set four feet in the ground with their faces north and south. They are hollow iron castings throe eights of an inch in thickness. 4 It was Commodore Decatur, also Henry Clay, who said, "I am for my country right or wrong.” “Bruelia” over-looked this in his answer. His other answers are substantially correct until he readies No. 7 which ho misses about 8.000 miles, but this is not his fault. Its a typographical error. It is Ga- longoon—an “a” instead of an “o.” Try again brother. Again, it was Goat foot Island we asked for. But our brother locates a “Goat Is land,” of which we have quite a number on our maps—one just above Niagara Fulls, and behold one even in Cherokee county S. C. Brother you needn’t have gone to H e op posite side of Hie world when we have so many urd much better nearer homo. 8. The horse is without eyebrows, loo, as well as Hie mole. 9. We differ with our brother in regard to Queen Victoria's sur-natne. It was Guelf, though some claim Alexandriana. Then when he comes to our arith metic question (No. 10) he misses again. The boatman went eighteen miles down the stream. In No. 11 he runs wild (as he ac cused us of doing). After the third man got his milk he makes an error which goes on through the whole calculation. We regret that space will not per mit us to fini.-h up witli Brueihi’s questions in this litter. We are compelled to wait until our next let ter, but stand ready to give him any information we can. We must re serve room here to ask Bruelia a few more questions to solve while lie is wailing for us, and here They an: 1. Where is Raleigh Tavern? 2. Who drank Hie burnt ashes of her brother? 3. Who first used the expression, “Almighty dollar?” 4. Who was Eucles. and under what circumstances did he die? 5. Where is the “poor man’s region?” 6. Why is the Northern boundary of Ddewure circular is form? 7 Who first proposed recession in the Unite! States congress? 8. What animal never sleeps? 9. On what condition was u largo fortune left Hie son of Henry Laurens? 10. A father has 040 acres of land hounded by six straight lines; ho can divide it among his four sons, giving to each an equal number of acres and tracts of exactly Hie same shap< ; how many rods of fencing will it take to fence ills entire plantation?. Now brother let us bear from you. and we assure you that as soon as we get up the old papers we will give our answers to all your q.estions (if we can) this week as well as hereto fore. Don’t keep us waiting so lot g this time, “Bud.” “Do about” and let us hear from you next week. Don’t wait always to hear from somi- body else as to whether or not your answers aro correct. You couldn’t afford to “dilly dally” as you do if you had a class before you waiting for instruction. So don’t bo so slow this time and cause some distressed friend to think you are dead and publish your obituary notice. We hope to make up a better acquaint ance with you and together give the readers of The Ledger ail ihe fun they need. J. L s. Alexander tue Urea;. No single personality, excepting the carpenter’s son of Nazareth, has done so lunch to make the world of civiliza tion wo live in what it is as Alexander of Mocedou. lie leveled the terrace up-i on which European history built. What ever lay within the range of his con quests contributed its part to form that Mediterranean civilization which, un der Rome’s administration, became the basis of European life. What lay beyond was as if on another planet Alexander checked this eastward march at the Sutlej, and India and China were left in a world of their own, with their own mechanisms for man and society, their own theories of God and the world. Alexander’s world, to which we all belong, went on its own separate way until, in those latter days, a new greed of conquest, begotten of commer cial ambition, promises at last to level tbo barriers which through the centu ries have stood as monnments to the outmost stations of the Macedonian pha lanx, and have divided the world of men in twain.—Professor Benjamin Ide Wheeler in Century. Good Manner* Proclaim the Gentle man. Good manners aro a social obligation, aid a young man should never make light of them nor pass them over as un worthy of notice. The extreme manners of the fop are silly and unnecessary, bnt the way a well bred man deports him self is always worth a young man's closest study. Good manners mean com fort for others and the recognition of Mttlo social rights, which to pass over is to degeneruta Etiquette books can not instill good manners. One’s deport ment comes from within. Few men are born without an intuitive knowledge of wbut is wrong or right in deportment It is simply experience that develops the quality. To be good mannered gen erally means to have consideration for women of every rank in life, and that is a quality which young men cannot pos sess too strsugly.—Ladies’ Homo Jour nal.

RAILROAD SIGNAL LIGHTS. rrnpooril Adoption <• f tin* F.naliMb Syittriii on Amorionn Itonila. Among American railroad men there has been a controversy extending over many years as to the desirability of ac cepting tiie English system of night signals in place of the American. At present u white light displayed aloug the line of an American railroad signi fies “safety, all well,’’ while a red light signifies “danger, look out,” and a green light “caution, go slow.” These are the established signals, the red be ing tiie most conspicuons, and therefore the best adapted for the purpose of se curing immediate attention. On Eng lish roads the red light is in use in cases of danger, but instead of a white light for safety a green light is used, and instead of a green light for caution a yellow light is used, the three English railroad colors being red, grc« n and yel low instead of red, white and green, used for like purposes among American railroad men. The proposed change from the exist ing American to the current English system has been discussed, recommend ed, opposed and experimented upon for a number of years, with the result of an apparent agreement among railroad men that white is not a suitable color for a signal. It is indistinct and is sub ject to two other objections—its sim ilarity to ordinary lights used for illumi nation and the fact that a railroad lan tern, if broken, gives out a white light. If, therefore, as is argued, a red lantern should be broken on one side and the glass should fail out, it would emit a white light which would indicate safety to the engineer, whereas the real sig nificance of the signal was danger—the exact contrary. Recently the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail road has made a change in its night signals in accordance with the English system, and it is gradually putting it into operation on the various divisions of the road. The management of tbs New Haven, which is one of the great est passenger carrying systems in the world, has been making a study of the question of signals and has adopted this new system after a long series of experi ments by experts. A green light is easier seen at night than a white one, and yellow shows very well in the dark and is easily distinguishable along the road. Moreover, since the adoption of the modern method of electric lighting on passenger cars wl^ite is the general color for such interior illumination, an additional reason why it should be dis carded for signal purposes. The objec tion to the change, however, comes from the fact that railroad men from long usage have become accustomed to tbe present American system and that some confusion might perhaps result from tiie attempt to substitute one light for another without general knowledge of the change. —New York Site. Yon cam UNhieThein Did you ever try to dodge the rain-drops ? Did not succeed very well, did you? It’s just as useless to try to escape from the germs of consumption. You can't do it. They are about us on every hand and we are con stantly taking them into our lungs. Then why don’t we all have this disease? Simply because these germs cannot gain a foot hold in a strong throat and lungs. It’s when these are weak that the germs master. The body must be well supplied with fat. The danger comes when the blood is poor and the body is thin. If your cough does not yield, and your throat and lungs feel raw and sore, you should not delay another day. Take Scott's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos- phites at once. It will heal the inflamed membranes and greatly strengthen them as well. The digestion becomes stronger, the appetite better and the weight increases. The whole body be comes well fortified and the germs of consumption cannot gain a foothold. It's this nourishing, sustain ing and strengthening power of SCOTT’S EMULSION that has made It of such value in ail wasting and exhausting diseases. jee. an4 #1.00, all druggists.

A SPY FOLLOWS VARQUEZ. Vernier PrtsldoaC of Ouatcinala li Closely Shadowed at Strliuu. Selma, Ala., April 6."It has ju»t Ookm to light that ex-President Yar- quez of Guatemala baa been in Selma for the past two weeks under an as sumed uame. On Thursday, March 23, he came from Mobile and registered at the Hotel Albert as D. Velez, Peru. General Yarquez was. m the yean E >rior to 1893, president of tbe Guatema- un republic. While visiting the World’s Fair iu this couairy in that year, ono of those revolutions which change the ru lers and policy of the Central American ropnblics in a single day occurred, and wnen General Yarqnez returned he found himself ousted. Since that tinn he has had bat one purpose in view, and that is to again control the destinies of his country. His presence in Selma was for the purpose of throwing from his track spies of the Guatemalan government. It will lie remembered that a month or so ago a filibustering "expedition that was to start from New Orleans failed. The purpose of that expedition was to reinstate Yarqnez as the head of the Guatemalan government. It failed, owing to the asininity of a railroad manager iu Guatemala to whom several carloads of arms had been shipped and marked “agricultural implements. ” Tbe railroad manager, who is a warm sympathizer ef Yarquez, rejoiced at tbe apparent success of - the scheme, drank too much one night and gave the whole snap away. Since the failure every move that General Yarquez has made has been watched by the secret agents of Guate mala. His presence iu Selma became known to them iu some way, and Fri day or Saturday ef lost week a stranger reached here from New Orleaus, and he has shadowed every move the general has made. When the general left the spy left on the same train and in the same coach with him. J.
