The torturing and burning of Sam Hose near Newman, (la., by a mob exhibited a climax of barbarity and a refinement of cruelty never be fore reached in the history of crime in this country. The mob cut of! his ears and fingers, chained him to a tree, saturated him with kerosene, and after he had been burned to death, cut him to pieces and fought over pieces of his bones and flesh which were wanted as souvenirs. There was only one feature lacking to make a perfect picture of diabolism, and that was the eating of his scorched flesh and the sucking of the marrow out of his bones. Neither the Apache, the Com- manche, nor the Iroquois Indians ever put a victim to death under more cruel and heart sickening means. Not since the days of the thumb screw, the rack and the boot, lias wanton cruelty reveled in such suffering. The burning of Smith in Texas was tame by the side of it; the killing of Baker at Lake City, was humane in the comparison. When Kenedy, the author of Horse Shoe Robinson, wanted to to give us an idea of the diabolical nature of Wat Adair, he represented him as skinning an entrapped wolf alive. The writer’s conception of the perfection of human cruelty could go no further than the removal of the entire skin from an inferior animal. Sam Hose was a man, and it would probably have been leniency to him to have stripped the skin from ins living body. In the terrors of his tortue, with the faint hope of obtaining some little mitigation, he implicated Lige Strickland, a negro preacher, in the crime for which he was suffering. The mob afterwards went to Strick land’s cabin, tore him away from his wife and children and hanged him un til life was extinct. His employer, a brave old Confederate soldier, who was convinced of his innocence, dared the fury of the mob, and ex erted himself to save him, but with out avail. And all this has taken place in a so-called civilized country —in a country that claims to have a commission to civilize and Christ ianize other countries—chat sends out hundreds of missionaries to carry the gospel of peace to heathen lands—that sends out armies to force the blessings of freedom and Christianity on the rude races that populate the isles of the sea. True, Sam Hose was guilty of a terrible crime—a crime for which his wretched life was forfeited and for which his speedy death could ailord but a poor compensation. But is that a reason, or the shadow of a reason, that throe thousand men should also commit a crime that surpasses in hideousness and horror the whole record of law and civiliza tion? There must be a limit somewhere, beyond which such things cannot pass, and it is possible that such a crime is necessary to mark that limit. The strong hand of govern ment sooner or later must come down on the perpetrators of such crimes, or government itself must yield to anarchy and civilization must give way to barbarism. NOTKS AND COMMENTS. Cien. Butler denies emphatically that there is any sort of a deal, po litical or otherwise, between him and Senator Tillman. Ho declares fur- tiiermore that he is out of politics and will stay out. The fact that five men out of the twelve that heard the trial of the Lake City lynchers, stood out for conviction, is a decided gain for law and order and a reaction of sentiment which sooner or later will furnish juries that will do their whole duty. God speed the time. The latest report from Manila is to the effect that Generals Lawton and McArthur are moving with a view of surrounding and capturing Aquinaldo and his forces. It is all right in war for Generals to cherish such views, but they frequently become badly obscured. Aguinaldo may prove like the Irishman’s flee, con spicuously absent when they put their hands down on him. Atone time during the Civil War, two large armies and a nation of non-combat ants were fired with intense enthusi asm over the prospect of bugging Jackson; hut the plan not only failed, hut the bagging turned prin cipally the other way. ♦ ♦ Cnpt. Croghlan of the United States war cruiser, Kulclgh. at a ban quet, at which wine flowed freely, recited "omo burlesque poetry and indulged In some course talk about Germany, and now Germany threat ens to avenge the insult by wiping up the earth with these litt le United States. Wo do not know that Capt. Croghlun’s drunken talk is worthy of the attention of a great nation, but we do know that if nothing will do Germany hut a fight, ns her surly demeanor for the past six months, seems to indicate, she can get it, and we suppose that it hud just ns well take Capt. Croghlan’s speech as a starting point, as any other. Ger many is playing the wolf at the stream, hut she’ll find the United Stales the liveliest lamb that she ever attempted to eat. President McKinley is reported as being very much depressed over the situation in the Philippines. His staunch friend and admirer, the Greenville News, consoles him by citing Washington, Lincoln, Davis, and other patriots and heroes, who in their lime met with many dis couragements, not among the least of which were the carpings and fault finding of an ungrateful and unap preciative public. These illustrious men came out all right and the Presi dent and we all are made to infer that he will reach a vindication and triumph and perhaps an equal fame While it is possible that all this may be true, yet it is still to he borne in mind that it was not the opposition and criticism received by the illus trious men named by the News, that made them triumphant, nor is the criticism of Mr. McKinley made by those opposed to him and his policy, any indication *of his greatness or of the wisdom or justice of his policy. THE IRISH WAKE. (t In ft Kindly and Iluninn Ciintom la Intention. The old Irish custom of “waking” the dead has given rise to much misrep resentation of the Irish character, and yet iu its intention it is < kindly and human custom. To those who do not understand the Irish nature, or the im pulses which move it, tho drinking, Einoking and conversation which take place at “wakes” appear incongruous and repulsive. To the Irish people, ou tho other hand, there is something very cold, unfeeling and repellent in the English custom of leaving the corpse shut up iu a room, all alone, deserted, as it were, by tho family. Iu Ireland wo keep close company with our dead to tho very lust moment. “Waking” means “watching.” We watch affectionately hy the body of a dead relative or friend until the time arrives to depart for the burial ground. The body is laid on tho bed, covered with a white sheet, leaving exposed the head and the hands crossed reverently on the breast. The walls about tho bed are covered with sheets, on which are often hung branches of flowers and laurel leaves. Seven lighted candles stand on a table near the bed. Theromi is frequently sprinkled with holy water to keep off the evil spirits who may be hovering around, and ou tho corpse is a largo plate of salt, which is believed to bo hygienically efficacious for the watchers. Tho Irish people are gregarious in their instincts. They never like to he alone, and this feeling for companion ship is strongest when death has visit ed them closely. A family deprived of a member by death seeks consolation from the neighbors, and the neighbors, ever quick iu sympathy, in joy or in sorrow, crowd iu to cheer up the spirits of tho bereaved, to distract their thoughts from their sad loss. First en tering tho room where tho corpse lies they kneel and say a prayer. But tho manifestation of sorrow is confined to the chamber of death. Outside, in the wide kitchen, the neighbors assemble, and snuff, pipes and tobacco, whisky and stout are supplied to them. There are “wakes” at which stories are told, forfeits are played and a lit tle drollery indulged iu, but, us o rule, while every effort is made by the watch ers to bluut the edge of sorrow, perfect decorum is preserved, and not an un seemly word is spoken. I have been at many “wakes,” and certainly I have never hedrd a song sung, though it is often said—of course by those who do not know—that singing is a common practice at these assemblies. Moreover, thero is a motive—founded upon super stition, it is true—for checking the manifestations of grief in tho presence of the dead. In some parts of Ireland it is believed that the soul of a departed person is made restless by the tears and regrets of surviving friends and rela tives, and that, unable to get to heaven, it hovers about tho earth until the sor row for its departure is appeased. Mourners may, therefore, be seen at “wakes" struggling to repress their sobs nnd tears. “Don’t bo cry in that way, ustbore, or you’ll keep him from his rest, "was a remonstrance I heard kindly addressed to a young widow who was weeping bitterly over the re mains of her husband.—London Tele graph.

Among the Many I'leiisnnt Koatuors Was the Social One.—The Meeulur Press Com mended for Its Work.—News Notes Front Dower Cherokee. (Correspondence of The Dodger.) Etta Jank, April 25.—Last night we had a fine rain and everything is flourishing this morning. A good deal of both corn and cottonseed has been planted, and sugarcane is com ing up. Mrs. W. S. Wilkinson, of Hickory Grove, is quite unwell, Wc under- stund she had something like a stroke ol paralysis last Saturday. The Christian Endeavor Society held Us meeting at our home last Sabbath. Rev. J. N. Ison preached at Meso potamia last Sabbath. Mr. Butler Goforth, of Gaffney, visited his homo lust week and re turned yesterday. Mr. S. F. Estes attended the meet ing of Bethel Presbytery of Ehecezer, last week. Miss Lizzie Mitchell, of Hopewell, with her children, came over to see her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Estes, last Saturday. While in Union I had the pleasure of calling upon Mr. and Mrs. J. II. McKtssick in their home. Mrs. Mc- Kissick is the daughter of my old army comrade, Thomas Gilliam. She is also the great-great-great grandaughter of Major Joseph Mc- Junkin, a revolutionary soldier who fought at Cowpens. She is taking great interest in and expects to at tend the May celebration. Be sides she is a friend to Tho Ledger and tin; work it is doing to have the Cowpen’s battleground converted into a national park. Mrs. McKissick is not the only dis- cendent of Revolutionary ancestry to be found in Union and Union county. Their names are legion, who, when called upon to aid in the work of marking in tangible form tho sacred spot where American liberty was horn will respond with their pres ence and means. Perhaps tho committee has not been so fortunate altogether in its selection of committeemen to prose cute tho work of raising funds for the celebration as it might have been, but we trust that everything will bo done to insure a successful prosecu tion of the work. However, we would suggest that at its next meeting a committee of three young ladies in each of the townships bo appointed to solicit contributions for the work of making the celebration of May 27th a success. They, us a general rule, are much better than men. Tho farmers are pushing with all speed getting their lands in readiness for planting. We are sorry to chronicle deaths occurring recently—Mrs. Mary George, Mr. Jasper Aycock, Abel Long and Artimsin Hill, with all of whose families we mingle our sympa thies. Also we regret to learn of the death of ‘Charlie Cansler, colored, who for several years was the faith ful mail carrier on the Gaffney route Lust week we spent in the State Christian Endeavor Convention ut Union. We took the entire proceed ing in and would be glad to give our Ledger readers a full report of tho same this week. This we will per haps be able to do later. Suffice it to say that it was our good fortune to meet some of the eminent Christian workers from different parts of the State as well as some from tho outside. The meeting in all respects was an ideal one. The homes assigned the delegates were among the best families in town and many were sorry that thero were not more delegates than there werj. For our own part we had invitation after invitation to call upon different friends which we did and were every where received with that cordial grasp and litany welcome indicative of the Ohristiau movement in which it was our good fortune to partici pate. Among all the Christian so cieties und conventions it has been our fortune to mingle none were more indicative of high Christian character than that of the Christian Endeavor Convention at Union, and none superceded the genuine Chris tian hospiality that we met on every hand. Our home >vas with that vet eran hotel man, Capt. Moultrie Gibbs, where we got ail the attention a prince might expect. Capt. Gibbs is an old time South Carolinian ana his family name and lineage ante dates the Revolution, and is still more conspicuous in the history of that eventful struggle. But to the convention work. Delegates from all parts of the State (or most of it at least) were present and ull came prepared for tho work assigned them. The discussions were free and active und nobody talked against time. When a speaker got through he quit and sat down—a rule not always ob served in such bodies. The music was superb. The young men went into the work like trained veterans. Taken all in all it was just such a body of men und women, hoys und girls as the Slate can well afford to be proud of Some good work was done and the foundation laid for still better and more effective work. Being interde nominational in its general make up no one denomination can claim all the honors, Mr. J. W’illis Baer, of Boston, at tended and gave the convention the advantage of his long experience in the work. Ho is a fluent speaker, and those who missed hearing him lost an opportunity not ofler met with. Our young friend Allan Nicholson deserves great praise for tho efficient management of his part of the pro gramme, and especially for his good talks. Just before adjournment in his rehoursing what hud been said and tho propositions entertaimd dur ing the convention he culled the attention to the field lying at our door in which every one might do a great work lor the Mtodir and receive therefor a great reward. Ho referred to our jails, ohaingangs and peniten tiaries where not the least ray of hope or spiritual comfort ever comes to their unfortunate inmates, unless by a mere accident Uur mission ary societies have seemingly forgot ten that in tlie.se institutions there are immortal souls that Jesus is anxious and willing to save. As a rule the clanking of the prisoner’s chains brings around him a crowd of curiosity hunters who seem to think that lie is a wild animal rather than a human being in posesalon of a soul that must live throughout the endless ages of eternity. All these circumstances tend to harden his criminal nature rather than open his heart for the Saviour to come in und take posession of and reform him. Among the many pleasant features of the convention was its social one. Nowhere else is the axiom—‘‘United we stand—divided wo fall” verified more fully than in the State C. E. Convention. Another commendable feature was the unanimity with which the secular press fwas compli mented for its willingness to desslmi- nato religious truths and to advance the spiritual interest of its patrons. Editors as a general rule (their may be exceptions) are always ready to get such items for their papers and never refuse tiie use of their columns when discreet matter is sent them. Taken as a whole the editors of our neculer newspapers are not a set of “boot- lick” who pander to the whims and wishes of a blinded prejudice. But on the contrary they are largely tiie pioneers of health public sentiment. They are gentlemen if not Christians. The result of the discussion, lye be- believe, led to the conclusion that the secular press could and would do for tiie cause of Christianity what the religious papers could not simply, because certain people could be reached through it who never care to see or read a religious paper. If we will from time to time ask our secu- ler papers to publish any items of interest it will he done, provided the matter is discreet in tone and free from sectarianism. While on this subject we might say that in our opinion there is no class or profession more rudely and unjustly abused than the newspaper men. In fact thero is none who work harder for less pay (to say 'nothing of thanks) than the editor who sets in to build up his town and county. Wo have even heard them abused for low price of cotton; when in reality they have only gathered re ports, rumors and assertions from farmers themselves. J. L. s. How They Wod In Spain. Marriage iu Spain takes placo by day or at night, according to the fortuuo of tho young people or their stutiou iu life. If well to do, the cereiuouy conies off lu the early part of the moruiug. Tlio “Si* Ilnnflrrri II nfllHna.” On Feb. ail, 18!W, Lord Maidstone Culit’d the attention of the house to n fpeocb delivered by O’Comtell at n pD- litiral din nor in London, in which he asserted that the Tory election commit tee of the day—or tiie committees ap pointed by the honso to try election petitions, a practice which has since beou abolished—had stooped to “foul perjury” in order that their friends might retain their scats. A veto of oeu- sure on O’Connell, which was moved hy Lord Maidstone, was carried by a majority of nine. A few days later a onrious scene was witnessed in the house. O’Connell had to stand up in his placo in the crowded chamber while tho speaker, James Ab- ercromby, solemnly reproved him for “tho false and scandalous imputation” he had cast upon “tho honor and con duct of members of the house. It now only remains,” said the speaker in con clusion, “that in obedience to the com mands of this house I should reprimand you, us I now accordingly do.” Tho reprimand, however, made no impression upon O’Couuell. “I have repented of nothing, 1 have retracted nothing,” said ho in the coarse of a speech he delivered when the speaker resumed bis seat, and ho concluded by moving for u committee before which to prove his charges. Ho subsequently described the house of commons—in a speech delivered outside—us “six hun- I dred ruffians.”—Nineteenth Century. IIot7 Snako Poison Kills. The action of poisons upon the system is and always has been one of tho most interesting of subjects. Just how and why it kills has been determined through a series of experiments made by scien tists. Tho following description is un questionably the best and most lucid of any that has been given to tho public: “Tho venom may bo reughly separated into two parts—ono acting upon tho blood, and the other upon tho nerves. When injected, it immediately begins to create terrible destruction in the blood vessels, tho walls of the veins are eaten away and an internal hemorrhage takes place. While this is going on a portion of tho venom is attacking the nerves. Particularly susceptible to its ravages is the ‘vasomotor’ system, a nerve center which controls the muscles ; of respiration. Paralysis takes place in | these organs, and tho victim generally Idles from an inability to breathe.”— j New York Ledger. n. i miuy For Old Hats. The inhabitants of the Nicobar is lands, a group in the Indian ocean, have an extraordinary fancy lor old hats, and a regular trade iu such cast off headgear is carried on between Calcutta andNic- ; char, tiie much desired headpieces being paid for in cocoauuts. A tall chimuoy pot is tho favorite among tho Nicoba- riaus, and tho nemo of fashion is consid ered to ho a high white hat with a black hatband. This is worth from 50 to 60 cocoauuts, and is worn by the Nieobar- ian dandy when ho goes out fishing, the rest of his attiro oousisting solely of a waistcoat AN UNFAILING SIGN THAT NATURE IS APPEALING When Nature is overtaxed, she has her own way of giving notice that assist ance is needed. She does not ask for help until it is impossible to get along without it. Boils and pimples are an indication that tho system is accumulating impurities which rnn UCI p must be gotten rid of ; they are an urgent appeal for assistance rUn nCLl ■ —a warning that can not safely be ignored. To neglect to purify the blood at this time means more than the annoyance of painful boils and unsightly pimples. If these impurities are allowed to remain, the system succumbs to any ordinary illness, and is unable to withstand tiie many ailments which are so prevalent during spring and summer. Mrs L. Gentile, 2004 Second Avenue, Seattle, Wash , says: •* I was afflicted for a long time with pimples, which were very annoying, as they disfigured my face fearfully. After using many other remedies in vain, S S. S. promptly and thoroughly cleansed my blood, and now I rejoice in a good complexion, whicli I never had before.” Capt. W. H. Dunlap, of tiie A. G. S. R. It., Chattanooga. Tenn., writes: “ Several boils and carbuncles broke out upon me, causing great pain and annoyance. My blood seemed to lie in a riotous condition, and nothing I took seemed to do any good. Six bottles of S. S. S. cured me completely and my blood has been perfectly pure ever since.” S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD is the best blood remedy, because it is purely vegetable and is the only one that is absolutely free from potash and mercury. It promptly purities the blood and thoroughly cleanses the system, builds up the general health and strength. It cures Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheuma tism, Tetter, Boils, Sores, etc., by going direct to the cause of the trouble and forcing out all impure blood.

How ISuckcyes Grow Tomatoes. Our readers will probably find some points in the growing of toma toes as followed at tiie horticultural department of the Ohio University grounds. “Plant in field as weather will per mit, setting the plants with spade nearly to first blossom stalk. It dots not injure them in the least to be set slanting, four hy two feet. Mulch with coarse manure as you plant. As soon as the plants arc well estab lished, prune all side branches off, leaving blossom stalks and terminal bud. Make a trellis for each row, using one iron piping (obtained from old iron dealers) cut into posts of six feet in length, drive in ground two feet,’sixty to seventy leet apart in rows. “Stretch wire to each row, begin ning at futher end from wire coil or spool and wrapping once around each interweaving post, about two or three inches from top to end. Use a plas tering latli for a stake, one to each plant; drive into the soil lightly and fasten wire witli double pointed tacks. Continue pruning the plants and ty ing to lath as they grow ; twice below tin; wire and once above it. Then let plant branch. “Advantages of the method are: The fruit ripens two or three weeks earlier than ordinary plants of same age. From twenty to thirty percent, larger than ordinary fruit. A larger yield per acre by ten to twenty per cent. Fruit easy to pick and always clean, less liable to rot. “Disadvantages are: It requires more labor and more plants per acre. The fruit has a tendency to bo more irregular.” In gardens this trells'mg and prun ing may be a quite simple matter ami a dozen plants will supply quite a largo family. In almost every neigliborliood there is some one whose life lias been saved by Chamuerluin’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, or who has been cured of chronic diarrhoea by tiie use of that medicine. Such persons make a point of telling it whenever opportunity offers, hoping that it may be the means of saving other lives. For sale by Cherokee Drug Com pany. MONEY TO LEND!!
