PATRIOTISM.
This seems to be a year set apart
for patriotism. Perhaps never be
fore was the spirit of patriotism in
this country higher than it is to-day
and never before were so many
things happening to stir patriotic
emotions and to stimulate state and
national pride as are now happening,
or have recently happened on land
and sea. The patriotic tide has
passed high water mark and is still
rising. That man for whom the poet
enquired,
* * * ♦ * ••with soul so dea<l,
W ho never to himself lias said .
Tills is my own, my native land,
is hardly to be found within our
borders to day.
The conditions are unique and un
precedented. With our vast terri
tory embracing every variety of
climate and production, with a het
erogeneous population gathered
from the four quarters of the globe,
with an almost endless variety of
conflicting interests arising out of
differences of soil, climate and en
vironment, with deep seated race prej.
udices raging here and there and
threatening to involve the country in
internecine war,—yet in spite of all
these conditions. the nation is
thrilled with a common patriotism,
and becomes quickly a homogeneous
unit against any other nation on
earth.
The United States Government is an
anomaly and a wonder. Its founders
builded more wisely than they knew.
There has never been another gov
ernment on the earth that ap
proached it in the grand scope of it6
freedom and its enterprise. The re
publics of Greece and Rome would
no more compare with it than the
tribal government of the Indians
would compare with the government
of Great Britain.
Under no other government that
exists, or ever did exist since the
duysofthe patriarchs, could such
a meeting as is now being held in
Charleston be permitted without dis
ruption and revolution. At least 510.-
000 old warriors have assembled
there to celebrate heroic deeds per
formed thirty odd years ago in a war
which had for its object the dis
memberment of the very government
under which they now live. They
assemble again under their old lead
ers and they honor the lost cause
with an ovation that would equal any
ever given to the holiest and most
triumphant cause for which heroes
ever fought. Such a demonstration
made in such a spirit and with such
a purpose would cause a bloody war
in any nation of Europe to-day. But
this nation looks on with smiling ap
proval—indeed feels a glow of pride
in the memories that these battered
hosts have assembled to celebrate.
And wonderful to tell, the spirit of
the occasion is an element of
strength instead of a sign of rebel
lion. The government at last knows
that one of the surest evidences of
patriotism is to be found in a venera
tion for the patriotic deeds of the
past—in an admiration for the re
cord made by patriots and heroes.
And now from the grand re-union
in Charleston, this part of our great
country at least, will turn to the
woods of Cowpens and celebrate
with the same loving spirit an event
that took place long before the blue
and the gray lines had stood apart in
the national spectrum. That event
made possible all the other glorious
events that have followed and made
this nation a mighty factor in the af
fairs of the whole world. There will
be no taint of sectionalism in the
celebration at Cowpens—nothing for
one part of the country to condone
while the other part rejoices—but
the blue and the gray will blend
again in the spectrum and all can
honor with a common pride the
memory of deeds that have made our
country great and glorious.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The Chester Lantern is one of the
brightest of our exchanges. It gives
due attention to general news and
gives Chester City and county news
in full, Its make-up is simply per
fect.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Admiral Dewey is to return home
to rest on his laurels for awhile, and
Hear Admiral tVatson will take com
mand of the fleet at Manila. Dewey
is emphatically the hero of the
Spanish war ami will hold a place in
the admiration of the people second
only to that of Grant.
-
Diversified industry in the South
comes slowly, but it is coming all
the same, with the sure puce of des
tiny. The conditions which demand
it are general and cannot be ignored.
Recently a Georgia, nurseryman lias
sold for fall delivery 30,000 peach
trees of one variety in Richland
county alone.
A number of federal prisoners con
fined in the North Carolina peneten-
tiary at Raleigh have sent a written
protest to the authorities in Wash
ington against what they call in
human treatment by the peneten-
tiary officials. It seems that the
prisoners refused to work in a brick
yard, and were generally unruly and
defiant; whereupon they were given
a decent flogging on iheir bare backs.
No doubt it hurt and the prisoners,
though their notions of humanity
were not very exalted, thought that
the treatment was not humane. It
is said, however, that the flogging
had a very soothing effect on their
rebellious spirits.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
General Hampton is the idol of the
old Confederates. At the re-union
in Richmond he received an ovation
which was accorded to no other rep
resen live of the dead Confederacy.
An audience of fifteen thousand gray
beards went wild when he made his
appearance, and for a quarter of an
hour a perfect bedlam prevailed. It
was the same thing in Charleston
last Wednesday. When the battered
old hero appeared, an assemblage of
seven thousand people rose us one
man and made the wildest demon
strations of joy. Fire may consume
Hampton’s house, as it has done
time and again, but his true home is
in the living hearts of men and wo
men.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Nearly all of the men who have
distinguished themselves in the re
cent wars arc Southern men or men
of Southern blood. This fact is so
patent that it has attracted the at
tention of some of the Northern pa
pers and they are trying to account
for it. The cause is to be found, no
doubt, partly in climatic influences,
but mainly in the conditions of life-
peculiar to the South and in the
habits and associations necessarily
engendered by those conditions. In
the South, physical courage has al
ways been honored by public senti
ment, and youths have been taught
by precept and example to brave
personal injury and even death
rather than submit to injustice and
dishonor. Moreover, Southern life
has largely been an out-door life
given to manly sports and athletic
exercises. The men who fought the
Civil War may be said to have been
brought up on horse back with guns
in their hands, and their superiority
to Northern troops was demonstrated
at the start and maintained to the
finish. We doubt if the conditions
now being evolved will be so favora
ble to the development of physical
courage as they have been in the
past, notwithstanding all the atten
tion that is being given in the schools
to so culled physical culture.
BUSINESS VS. SENTIMENT.
Our 1’enple a Nation of Mon-y CitMirrrnt
Without Nentinif.it.
The tendency of the gr-.;.t mass of
the civilized human ruee in this age
is toward money getting. Under the
head of business, people are led to
forget their fellowmen, and in the
mad rush for supremacy in getting
ahead in the worlds the conscience h
so b.uuted by contact with the
power of wealth that they appear
almost unconsciously to trample un
der foot the rights nnd feelings of
those who are struggling for a mere
existence. It is not o ily so with in
dividuals who have had the prece
dent established by those in high
office and by nations. Civilization,
in a sense, is the highest degree that
can be reached by people on earth,
but we ought not to forget the fate
of the Roman empire and other ex
tremely civilized nations in the past.
We are treading the same paths that
led to their downfall and destruction :
conquest, monopoly, centralization
of power, trusts, and the many sel
fish acts that follow in the train of
the absorbed money maker. It has
often been said, and has almost be
come a rule, that sentiment has no
place in the business affairs of the
world. In a certain degree this is
correct; where, for instance, individ
uals or nations can, by a system of
oppression and force, secure control
of property, either individual or pub
lic, and, by the power thus usurped,
so use this power to accomplish their
own selfish ends, at an awful cost to
the many who can scarcely keep the
wolf from the door, crushing out the
very existence of the toiling mass of
humanity, whether right or wromr,
for business sake. I freely admit
that no sentiment is here.
The American people are a free
people, and are noted for their prog
ress, push and enlightmer.t. This
being true why do we not heed the
warning that has been repeatedly
verified in the history of the nations
of the past—a record of which almost
every school hoy is familiar. Where
are the costly monuments, palaces,
and ill-gotten, hoarded wealth of
thoso generation who for a day posed
on the stage of the world? Nothing
but wrecks of ruined grunduer re
main, Jiiul in many instances are
| buried beneath the dust from whence
it originated. “Of dust thou art uml
to dust thou shult return.” And
this is the inevitable end of all
thiugs. Then why should wo not
mix more sentiment, charity, and
forbearance with the vast and -mall
business projects of the age, and lend
a helping hand to those who are in
need and suffering? Why not intro
duce into business methods more
brotherly love and a Christian regard
for the welfare and happiness of the
unfortunate, the needy and helpless,
and he satisfied with the result of
having done our moral and Christian
duty. A certain reward is sure to
follow this line of action that will be
greater and far more enduring than
any that can be laid up of the treas
ures of this world.
Hus this mania for wealth and
power become a disease, like the dis
ease brought about by the use of
intoxicants? If so, there is but one
sure cure, and that is by a reliance
on the power of divine aid. No hu
man skill can successfully nnd finally
combat either of these great diseases.
An absolute surrender of all man’s
punitive efforts and earthly power
must be made to the great healer of
ah the ills that the human race is
heir to. Then sentiment and charity
will naturally promote all lines of
business and the star of destiny will
light us beyond the dark shadows
cast by the mountains of sin and
selfishness of this world, and our
reward will begin here and end with
everlasting eternity. Ei.be.
ClierokfO the I’lacc.
There is no place in the United
States that offers greater induce
ments to investors and working peo
ple at this time than does Cherokee
count]. Her lands are fertile and
can be bought for reasonable prices.
The climate is healthly and its brac
ing atmosphere instills into man all
the elements of mental and physical
development. But we need moie
people and every effort must be made
to get them here. Thousands of
acres of idle lands are only awaiting
the touch of the intelligent farmer’s
hand to make them contribute to the
upbuilding of the county. The in
terest of the farms, the farmers, our
manufacturing plants and our rail
roads and general business men
would all be advanced if our idle
lands were cultivated.
Our people can, by listing the
lands for sale and working in concert
with our railroads, organize one or
more excursions to the county that
will give working people and invest
ors an opportunity to come to Gaff
ney and Blacksburg on cheap rates,
from which points they can be shown
over the county, when they can see
for themselves the advantages we
posses.
Why stand idle and complain of
paying tuxes on idle lands when
eager hands are ready to take hold
of them and make them bloom like
the rose, if they but knew of them.
(icttliiK Truilf to Town.
A Harmony, ('(inn.) correspondent
of the Advertising World writes to
that publication as follows:
“The business people of this town
of 6O0 inhabitants get together one
day in each week and offer a prize of
$’) to the farmer who drives the
greatest distance to the town on
business. He must be a farmer and
he must come on business. No
tramps will be considered. He
must market a few hogs or kine, or
some products of the farm, or he
must come and do some trading—
either buy some hardware or genera!
merchandise, got a shave or patron
ize the dentist or the doctor. He
must prove conclusively the dis
tance he came, and the farmer who
has made the longest trip gets the
purse. It has proven a great draw
ing card for the town, and men come
with their families forty-five miles
distant. The matter is advertised in
the Harmony News.”

ness facilities, and her 601H) people,

Fashion ban much t<> do with tho po»
sitiou in public favor held by different
furs in different years. But there are at
least five which must always hold their
own on their merits, and, like dia
monds, pearls nnd gold, are never out
of fashion. These arc thoso-of the sable,
tho seal, the beaver (for men’s fur
coats), the sea otter and the silver fox,
and next after these is a list of at
least 12, “with power to add to their
number,” which, though subject to the
fluctuations of fashion, are among the
most beautiful of natural ornaments
aiid additions alike to comfort and to
oostnine.
The fluctuations in fashion aro by no
means merely capricious so far as they
affect furs. Different materials or tints
need different furs to trim them. If,
for instance, colored velvets are to be
worn in mantles and capes, then chin
chilla is perhaps the most c harming fur.
If heavy silks and black satin and beads
are in fashion, nothing suits these so
well as sealskin and sable. One year al
most all young ladies took to wearing
jackets of smooth warm brown cloth.
Mink was exactly the fur to suit this.
If pearly gray cloth or jxiwder blue
were fashionable, a demand for Cana
dian lynx or blue fox would probably
be created. But an interesting paint in
connection with any change of fashion
is that there i* always some fur which
seems “exactly the thing'’ to suit it.—

As a mechanician Archimedes pro
duced the correct theory of the lever
and invented no less than 40 interesting
devices, including the cgidless screw,
the pump, the organ and the “burning
glass,” with which latter novel weapon
he is said to have set lire to the ships of
an enemy’s fleet from a considerable
distance. The story is probably fabu
lous. but none the less interesting, as
exhibiting the faith of the people in the
man and as indicating the character of
his pursuits.
As engineer Archimedes was looked
upon ns hardly less than a magician,
lie produced catapults which threw
enormous stones and heavy pikes at
long range into the ranks of the enemy
or into his ships, *2x1 great derrick*
were built by him with which to lift
the attacking craft out of water or to
upset it, destroying all on board. His
proposed use of the lover meant tho
production of the inconceivable inven
tions in machinery and engineering
construction, and his own estimate of
its importance was expressed by the
familiar quotation, “Give me whereon
to stand and 1 will lift the earth.”
Archimedes was the first and perhaps
the most inventive and greatest of early
engineers. His lever still moves tho
world, and his spirit is inherited by
generations of the men who have made
modern civilization possible.—Cassier’s

CITY FIRE FIGHTERS.
The Dsadly I’crilit They Encounter In ferv.
ins Human Live*.
A great tenement house was burning
like tinder wood in one of tho poorest
quarters of tho metropolis. Tho stairs
had gone up in smoke before everybody
had left the building, aud even the fire
escape down the oupiide ot the building
was cut off hy the hot flames from tho
lower windows, which had already
peeled off a part of it. A young girl of
14 or 15 was frantically shrieking for
help in one of the top windows, aud a
mother was wringing her hands in piti
ful despair down in the street.
Tho chief called for volunteers to
save the giri, and three men came for
ward on the instant, without hesitation
and without awaiting to count their
chances for success. This is the custom
in such cases, for no. one would take the
responsibility of ordering a fireman to
bis possible death.
A strong young fellow who had yet
to win his spurs was selected for the
task, and ho disappeared quickly
through the doorway of tho adjoining
building. When next the crowd saw
him he appeared at the window just
under the roof, and, grasping the tin
cornice of the burning building next to
him, he swung out into the air and
made his way, hand over hand, for 30
feet through the dense smoke that rose
in black clouds from the lower windows
to the sill where the girl was seen.
She had fallen back into the room
unconscious aud was overcome with
smoke by the time he reached her. A
thousand anxious faces in the street be
low were tortured with fear for the
bero, a hundred muttered prayers went
up for his safety as the fireman disap
peared into the black cloud, nnd a thou
sand throats sent up a lusty shout of re
lief as he appeared again at tho window
a moment Inter with tho limp form of
the girl in his anus.—Harper's Ronnd
Table.
Honest Tommy.
“Tommy,” asked a moth* of her
4-year-old son, “whore did that hole in
tho window come from?”
“I don’t know, mamma,” replied the
little fellow.
“Are you sure you don’t?” she asked.
“Course I am,” answered Tommy.
“I throwed my ball awhile ago, and
then I saw the hole, but honestly I
don’t now know where it came from."

There is not the slightest doubt that the
doctors do more harm than good in treating
Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of
this loathsome disease would be much better
off to-day if they had never allowed them
selves to be dosed on mercury and potash, the
only remedies which the doctors ever give for
blood poison.
The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of
this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the
disease—the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the
system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash
nnd mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out
into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system
more damage than the disease itself.
Mr. II. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark. N. J., says;
hundffcd dollars with the doctors, when I realized that
they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my
body, and «hese soon broke out into running sores, and I
endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro
duces. I decided to try 8. S. S. as a last resort, and was
soon greatly improved. I followed closely your ‘Direc
tions for Self-Treatment,’ and the large splotches on my
chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long
disappeared entirely. I was soon cured perfectly and my
skin has be«i as clear as glass ever since. I cured my
self at home, after the doctors had failed completely.”
It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors
to cure Contagious Blood Poison, for the disease is be
yond their skill. Swifts Specific—
S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD
—acts in an entirely different way from potash and mercury—it force* the
poison out of the system and gets rid of it entirely. Heftce It cures the
disease, while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever,
constantly undermining the constitution. Our system of private home treat
