After an experiment of two and a half months we have decided to con tinue the semi-weekly Ledger. W» find it an improvement on the weekL in several ways. We are enabled to get the news to our patrons oftener, and therefore fresher, and we are in the business for the purpose of giv ing the best possible service for|the money. Wo have not advanced the price of subscription and we do not intend to do so except in one way. beginning January 1st. 1900, we will charge $1.00 a year—the same a.- now—for The Ledger, hut the sub scription must bo paid in advance. This will be an invariable rule. W* will send the paper as heretofore to anyone who may wish it on time, but those who take it on time will bo re quired to pay $1.50 for it. We huvt studied the question and while wt would like to continue sending tin paper as heretofore on a credit wt find that we cannot do so for $1,00. There is a difference between tin cash and the credit man in the fact that you do not have the trouble t< make out bills for the cash man; neither do you have to spend mone\ on postage sending him a statement; then again you run no risk whateve- in not getting the money. We havt many good friends to whom we sene the paper on time, but they could just us easily pay for the paper ir advance. Then we sometimes loose a dollar here and a dollar there b\ putting too much confidence in a man. We do not wish to adopt ai arbitrary cash in advance system because we know that some peoph who are unable to pay in advanc< want the paper and wo want to uc commodate them. Wo take the same position, however, that the merchant who sells goods on time docs, or the installment furniture dealer. Thes< people charge time prices for good- sold cn time and after this year w< are going to charge time prices foi the paper on time. The Ledger twici a week is too cheap to be sold oi a credit at $1.00 and wo cannot afforc to send the paper to people a yeai and let them use the money due m without some compensation. We waiit to increase our subscrip tion list several hundred. We shouh have them and we are going to hav< them, hut our friends can help us t< get them quicker if they will do m the kindness to say a good word fo the paper whenever the opportunity presents itself. If you know of sotm one who does not take the paper whether they live in this State o: not, but whom you think would b' likely to take it if urged to do so k udly send us their name on i postal card and we will take pleasun in soliciting their enrollment. Sll KKI* 11AIN1ND. •‘Mr. K. I*. Lawton, of Luray, Ilumptoi County,” It is reported ''lias found Ills sheep- raising e.rperlD.ent profitable, and readily disposes of all lie lias for sale. His success encourages him to go into the business ex tensively." Mr. Lawton lias a mission li this State, evidently. The people of id- count v should send him to the Leglslatun liy all means. A score or two of men lik< him in that body would be worth millions ol dollars to South Carolina. The above item copied from Tin News and Courier shows that om man in South Carolina eomprehend> the possibilities in the State am is moving in the right derection ti take advantage ot Jthtm. There ar< numerous plots of unused lands in Cherokee county which, if devoted t( sheep raising, would yield renutr er- ative returns from the start, and, undtr the foot of the sheep, would soon become fertile, and at the sam time will be turning off a paying crop of lambs and wool. The Nawrs and Courier recommen 1- Mr. Lawton to the people of lib county for the Legislature, The Led ger endorses tlie recommendation and suggests that some of our Cheroket frrmers take up sheep raising and and make themselves Mr. Lawton's poor in the legislature and at In me too.

Several flags were swung to the breeze in (lalfney. 4- 4- 4 ♦ “Grit and Steel’’ Is the name of a new publication in (JafTney. The object is to further the cause of the game fowl breeder. In its initial number, its editor, Mr. J. L. Sher rill, has displayed good judgement in the selection of the matter pub lished. The mechanical appearance is ahead of anything in that line we have seen issue from the press of S )Uth Carolina. Mr. Sherri t dt- n rves credit and will likely a< I.ieve both fame and fortune in the new venture. We wish him abundant success. 4- ♦ ♦ 4- We publish in another column a communication in regard to the ac tion of Judge Uenet in withholding decisions. Judges are paid to per form their duty and it is a sad state of affairs when judges and other men in high positions are allowed to neg lect their duties and continue to Iraw their salaries while men in less fortunate circumstances are strain- .ng every nerve to get what they have earned by hard work. There should be no law to pay a man un' ■ ess he performs his duty and a law to make every man pay his honest debts. Gaffney is not on a boom but ia en joying one of the most healthy growths of any town in the South. Vt this season there are no less than twenty dwellings in the course of construction and more to he built. Besides this, work on the Victor Cot- or. Seed Oil Mill will begin this veek and the contract for the new jail wili r be let on Thursday, and two iew churches are to be erected this •lUimner. We know of no new busi- icss houses. The fact is we have enough of them for the present but <ome of those wo have might be im- oroved upon by being torn down and etting substantial brick buildings ake their place. ♦ 4- -4 -4 No town in the Piedmont belt has nade the progress that GaiTney has nade within the past four years. From a population of 2,500 she has advanced to close to 0,000 and is still advancing. This advance is not done due to the push and persever- •nee of our business men We owe ouch to the residents of the territory hat goes to make up Cherokee •ounty for the manner in which they •tood by GaiTney. It is true that hey also helped themselves in help- rig Gaffney and yet we should never forget them for it. In fact we must ill live in perfect harmony and do •ur best to advance the interest of ioth town and county. 4- ♦ 4- 4- The sale of the South Carolina and teorgiu Railroad to the Southern wa ll event in railroad circ-it s of no id le importance to the busim -s peo ple of this section. The failure of he Southern to include the old 0. 1. tt C., in the deal was a good thing or Gaffney and the towns along vhich that line operates. As mat ers now stand there is a good deal of mcertainty about the future of the alter but it is confidently expected hut Mr. Hunt will successfully plan nd direct the future movements of iis line. He is an able railroad man nd well does he understand his bus!- lese. The Ledger would like to see he twenty-one mile gap between the ). It. Sc C., and the Atlantic Coast Line from Camden to Sumter closed ipand arrangements made by which hese two lines would operate to- ;ether. The O. It Sc C., could then iiish its line from Gaffney to Spar- unburg, a distance of about twenty- wo miles, and this would make the ). It. Sc C., a formidable rival of the Southern for the business in this im- nediate section. As it is we are 'lad that wo are not altogether at he mercy of our friend, the South- rn, who has done much to build up this section. A Narrow Lh<-u]>«-. Thankful words written by Mip. Ada E.

FIGHTIKG IN SAMOA; 100 NATIVES KILLED Friendlies and Rebels Clash Again Near Apia. MONAGHAN’S AWFUL FATE Fiirttior Details of the Dentil of tlie Aitiericuu Kiiidgii unit LletitHimnt Show thu Former Was llciiuailud li- - fore Life Left His Hotly. Auckland, New Zeland, April 27.— Advices just received here from Apia, Samoa, dated April 18, report that severe fighting has taken place be tween large bodies of soldiers of friendly natives and the rebels. Tho casualties, it was thought, \vou : d not exceed 20, and no Europeans were among the in jured. Particulars of the fighting in Samoa, contained in the advices received hero from Apia under date of April 18, show that tlie battle between the friendly natives and rebels took place at Vailelo and that the latter lost 100 men in killed and wounded. Further details of the deaths of En sign J. It. Monaghan of tho cruiser Philadelphia and Lieutenant P. H. Lausdaie of the same vessel have been received. They show that Monaghan was beheaded before he was dead. A deserter from the Mataafaus forces says Monaghan and Lansdale were retreat ing when they were discovered b^r a chief and his wife, who were looking for dead men. They gave the alarm and Monaghan was shot w bile continuing the retreat. Later, it appears, the rebels returned and killed Lausdaie. Mouaghau fought until he was wounded and he was then beheaded. The doctors’ examination of the re mains confirms the statements made. GERMANY AFTER COGHLAN. llrrlln Newspaper* Insist That tlie C plain Hi* Severely Dunistiixl. Berlin', April 27.—The morning pa pers here, owing to the receipt of fresh telegrams from London giving further details of the feeling in America, are almost unanimous in insisting that Cap tain Coghlan must be adequately pun ished. They declare that it is only quibbling to say that he spoke in a pri vate club, ns his subsequent proceedings prove lie has no objection to publicity. The song about (he * miser excites far more indignation than the revelations about Dewey’s difficulties with Diede richs. The government, however, will take no official action, although it is ex pected that Captain Coghlan will re ceive punishment commensurate with his offense. One newspaper calls his utterance:; criminal. It is announced here today that Presi dent McKinley received the German ami a-sudor,Dr. von Holleheu, on yester day and expressed ids disapproval of the remarks attributed to Captain Oogh- lau of the United States cruiser Raleigh, at a recent dinner and requested tho ambassador to assure Emperor William and tlie German government of his friendly sentiment. A MESSAGE FROM KAUTZ. Commander of tin-Wm-shlp Philadel phia K-quests More Fuel. Washington, April 27.—The follow ing cablegram has been received at the navy department from Admiral Kautz: “The receipt of telegrams of March 21 and April 2 is acknowledged. Coal cannot be obtained at Apia, must be or dered from Auckland. Everything is quiet at Apia. I am not aggressive on Mataafa rebels, but I am protecting United States consulate, United States property and the Samoan government as established by die decision of the chief justice of the supreme court.” The navy department, in a foot note to the above, announced that it has already completed arrangements for supplying coal to Admiral Kautz and it will soon be at his command. ANTITRUST LAW IS VALID. Judge Martin Upholds an Act of the Arkansas Legislature. Little Rock, April 27.—Judge Joseph Martin of the circuit court today ren dered a decision upholding the consti tutionality of the antitrust law, but lim iting its force to offenses committed in the state of Arkansas. The attorney general construed the law to cover rate making by insurance companies in Ar kansas or elsewhere, thus excluding the old line companies from the state. Judge Martin holds that the state has a right to exclude foreign corporations and prohibit them from doing business in the state, but cannot punish corpora tions or individuals for violations of the penal code committed in other states. A Man With Twenty Wives. Wilkesbakkk, Pa., April 27.—Adam Peshla was sentenced to six years in the penitentiary for an elopment with Anna Stroka, a 14-year-old girl of this city. The couple were traced to Philadelphia, New York and Boston, and were ar rested at Hazleton, Pa. Peshla ad mitted all the allegations and said he had a wife living in nearly every country he had visited, in all about 20. His last girl wife wept bitterly when he was sentenced. German Lutherans Convene. St. Louis, April 27.—The national tri ennial convention of the German Evan gelical Lutheran synod is holding a ten- days’ conference here. Rev. H. Hchwau of Cleveland is acting us president of the convention, which is attended by 600 delegates. A Transport From Havana. New York, April 27.—The United States transport Comal, Captain Evans, arrived today from Havana with 64 passengers and 150 discharged soldiers. Among the former was John Gary Evans, ex-goveruor of Houth Carolina. People who have once taken De- Witt’s Little Early Risers will never have anything else.

C., April 25.—“Pru- ella” will please excuse us for in truding but, the temptation is so great we can’t resist it. Now, you know that all of our edu cation and knowledge of past events, and especially so, that of ancient history, is based upon what others have said. Therefore, by the utali- zing of the knowledge gained by what wo have heard others say, we will try to answer your third ques tion, in The Ledger of the 21st., in stant. We heard an old gentleman say sometime since and lie was an ordinary intelligent man (at least in regard to the topics) that, about four hundred years age, a man by Hie name of Columbus discovered the land of Spain. Therefore, we think it very probable that while this man Columbus was in Hie discovering business that he also discovered America. We have bad now about two weeks of farming weather which our farm ers have made good use of, but it be gan raining again yesterday and is still raining this afternoon. One of our dusky dames received a thrashing the other day at Hie hands of her husband and paid ($8) three dollars for the fun of receiving it. She went and swore out a war rant for him, came buck home and got sorry for him and went back and paid up the cost on it and stopped it. My opinion is that with a little training in the ring, v.e have a lady in this section in whose hands Bob Fitzsimmons or Jim Corbett would be mere playthings. Last Sunday she took a notion to give one of her neighbors a thrashing, whereupon, she repaired to said neighbors house and finding that her neighbor had just left home, she took out after her and out run her own husband half of a mile, and kept her own and her m igh bor’s husband knocked off until she gave said neighbor severe thrashing.

Ask your physician this ques tion, 4 * What is the one great : remedy for consumption?” , He will answer, “Cod-liver i oil.” Nine out of ten will answer the same way. Yet when persons have i consumption tney loathe all fatty foods, yet fat is neces sary for their recovery and they cannot take plain cod- ! liver oil. The plain oil dis turbs the stomach and takes : away the appetite. The dis- i agreeable fishy odor and taste make it almost unen durable. What is to be done? This question was ans wered when we first made i scorrs EMULSION of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypo- phosphites. Although that : was nearly twenty-five years ago, yet it stands alone to- | i day the one great remedy s for all affections of the throat and lungs. The bad taste and odor have been taken away, the oil itself has been partly digested, and the most sen- I sitive stomach objects to it rarely, i Not one in ten can take and digest j the plain oil. Nine out of ten can i take SCOTTS EMULSION and di gest it. That’s why it cures so j many cases of early consumption. : Even in advanced cases it brings ; comfort and greatly prolongs life. 50c. and $i.oo, all druggists. !
