Ol K l)K \1) <JO\ MINOK. Though ({>vernor Eilerbe bad been in declining health for many months and his death was not altogether un expected, yet the announcement of thi sad event has tilled the whole State with sorrow, lie was not a great man in the common accepta tion of the word, but be was con sidered a. clean, honest man who tried to do bis duty as he saw it, and sucli a man in the truest and highest sense is a great man and an honor to his race and country. At a time when politicians less scrupulous than be had stirred up bitter animosities among the people and arrayed class against e.asi in unreasoning strife, in- stood forth a- - a fair minded, moderate man, op posed to violence and corruption, arti did much towards ullaging the p ssions of the people and bring ing about a better state of feeling among all parties. It was bis sup posed honest}’ and fair-mindedness rather than his talents that won the confidence and respect of the people an i made him temporarily the strongest man in South Carolina for (J ivernor in 189(5. It is not to he denied that in his administration he exhibited some weaknesses, but even his bitterest political enemies were willing to al low’ that they were weaknesses of the head and not of tho heart. In esti mating his character as a man, it must not be forgotten that he was also a politician and that the condi tions’ and requirements of politics are such as to try severely the probity and integrity of the highest type of manhood and to vitiate and de grade anything below that type. l»ut whatever weaknesses be ex hibited, whatever mistakes ire made in ollice, lie tried hard to be governor of the whole people and perhaps did more towards harmonizing discor dant elements, allaying bitter preju dices, and unifying public senti ment than any one man lias done or could have done since the beginning of the present decade. Such a re cord is a noble one, more honorable than that of the most brilliant tal ents devoted to the service of a sel fish ambition. The King of Heaven put his endorsement upon that re cord when He declared, ‘ Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of Cod.” So now as we write finis on the record and mourn over its incom pleteness, we find consolation in the t rought that \V. II. Eilerbe, cut ot! in liis young manhood, in the midst of honors heaped upon him by a lov ing and confiding people, with bright prospects of usefulness and higher honors before him, had yet rounded up a noble character and stamped its in press up a great Mtate. Lieutenant Governor McSweeny who succeeds to the gubernatorial chair, has the full confidence of the people, and all feel assured that the Governor's mantle could not have fallen on a more worthy successor. His popularity, his high character, and his fine talents a.o already re cognized and honored, and he will begin his administration under very favorable auspices IS IT SO? To the Kdltor of The Ledger: Our people arc proprexuive and work for every Interest along that line, hut when they move they move for (he whole city and not for any Individual man or street. The water works are soon to le 1 const rue ted and we learn that mains are to he put on praeti- cally unoccupied streets to the nevloel of s nne of tho older settled and more populated streets la the city. Why is thlsV Who has the pulIV TAXPAYKH. Upo.i receiving the above commu nication a Ledger representative called upon Mr. A. N. Wood, one of the commissioners of public works Mr. Wood stated that the funds at the disposal of the commission was not suflicient to give waterworks to the entire city and that the business portion of the city was to be looked after first and then the commission ers would consider the side streets. He did not deny or alllrtn the report that mains were to be laid along Bu ford street in preference to other streets, but stated that the commis sioners would work with the best in- tirest of the city at heart. It is true that the three gentlemen who coin post) tiiis commission arc largely interested in GuiTney. Two of them have done more lot Galfney than any other two men in the city. All three have always been warm supporters of this paper and we re gret that there should ever rin u question on wbicbj wo should differ, and wo hesitate to believe that they will do anything that will advance their personal interest to the detri ment of the whole city, and yet wo do say that it will ho wrong for them to lay a main along Buford street to advance the interest of the Buford Street Land Company, in which they are personally interested, to the det riment of other portions of tho city. We can’t believe they will do it. We have too much faith in their honor and integrity to believe they will do it, and we propose to trust them as we always have until they give us cause to mistrust them. In the meantime the columns of this paper arc open for a general dis cussion of the matter. NOTES AM) COMMENTS. President Loubet, of France, was raised on a farm, and one of the first official visits that he made after be ing installed us President was to a farmer’s fair. This caused some- talk, and he is said to have remarked that he had been born on a farm and he expected to return to tho farm just as soon as his commission from the people had run its course. France has at last a President with some sense. The presiding judge of tho Green ville court of sessions, after hearing exhaustive arguments from voluble attorneys on both sides, over-ruled the motion to quash the indictment for murder against pretty Mrs. Hughes of “little blue pistol” fame, on some frivolous exceptions taken to the proceedings in her former mis trial. Tho judge did his duty, but not tiis whole duty. He ought to have ip’ASMKt) some of those attor neys when they first began to bother him with their motions and so called arguments. General Otis calls for six thousand more men for the Philippines. He has in Manila and enroute twenty- four thousand men and he thinks that thirty thousand will be enough to furnish material for the rains to pelt, the heat to bake, and the Ma lays to hack and shoot for a month or two longer. It is thought that the President will call for ten thousand volunteers and that a large portion of the regular army will be sent on immediately. The United States will not be out of a j ib in the Philip pines for sometime to come. It is said that the census of 1900 will be a world record breaker. It will show that this nation has ex panded more in a decade than some of the most favored nations of Eu rope have expanded in half a cen tury. No nation of history ever reached the height of wealth and piwer which the United States oc cupies to-day. Rome in her palmiest days was but a feoblo prophecy, while Carthage, Greece, Persia and Egypt are not to be mentioned in the ! comparison. One of our big war ships with its modern armament j would have crushed the combined nodes of the ancient world; and one ! of our armies would have annihilated any army that Hannibal, Seipio, Cies ir, or Alexander ever commanded, in less time than it takes to t I! it. This nation is a world-powt r and a world-wonder, and the limits of its possibilities are still far beyond the range of mortal vision. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ A hotel clerk named White out in Chicago, in an unguarded moment, not having the fear of retribution before his eyes nor the proper ap preciation of innocence in his heart, gave utterance to some words de rogatory to tho character of a lull, beautiful, twenty-three year old lady named Miss Brownlee. His ill-timed and uncomplimentary words having reached the sensitive ears of the high-souled beauty and not being in exact accordance with her refined taste and delicate sense of the eternal fitness of things, she im mediately armed herself with a stout raw hide and meeting White its he came out of the hotel emphasized her disapproval of his graceless words by an extensive marking of his natural integument. And now both honors and dishonors are easy, the heavings of the little social seu have subsided, and outraged inno cence reposes in undisturbed felicity. Just now our brethern of tjie quill over in Greenville, notably the edi tors of the News and the Mountain eer, are enjoying a rich feast of nows of home manufucture and are dis pensing it with generous band to their hosts of hungry readers to an extent calculated to excite the envy of their less fortunate brethren whose lots have been cast in staid towns where the unexpected never happens and where the monotoiny of newspaper drudgery is seldom broken by startling phenomena. In addition to Hie Hughes l>iul which excites wide interest, Greenville has u real live case of miscegenation to put on spectacular exhibition before an appreciative public. To cup the climax of startling facts, John A. Benedict, a wealthy banker from Athens, Ga., appeared there a few day* ago in a very natural manner and suddenly disappeared In a man ner most unnatural and inexplicable.

Continuing our reunion narrative we will say that at the auditorium on Wednesday night tho greatest amount of chivalry, beauty and gen eral pleasure was on exhibition. Old and young mingled and commingled in the most social manner, and many were /ho pleasant jests that passed between veterans and sons and daughters of veterans. Hilarity and good wiil pervaded the immense throng and everything went well. At the meeting in Atlanta last year resolutions were passed request ing each division of U. (!. Veterans to bring to the Charleston reunion a Hug for presentation, which was to be kept by Adjt. Gen. Moorman, us u souvenir of the order of United Con federate Veterans. When the meet ing on the first night was formally opened Gen’l. Stephen 1). Lee briefly rehearsed tho resolution and ex plained tho object which brought them there that night. A very largo audience was present. The audito rium was filled to overflowing. Upon the stage were seated the sponsors of the different divisions, each with her maid of honor and bearing a silk banner. General Lee introduced Joseph Nash, of Georgia, a veteran’s sou, who made an address highly ap preciated by the veterans and com plimentary to the sponsors. Gen'I. Lee then read the resolutions and Gen’l. (Jordon’s comment on them, iiv further said that Gen’l. Moor man has done more than any other one man to bring the United Confed erate Veterans into a solid organiza tion. Gen’l. Waddell, of North Carolina, was next called upon by Gen'I. Leo to say something. He made a ring ing speech and highly complimented Gen’l. Moorman for his efficient work, lie eulogized the Charleston reunion and alluded to the United States Government having “sent the famous war ship Raleigh iresh from the vic tories of another field to take part in the Confederate reunion exercises.” “it is a significant fact,” said he, “and indicates a strong feeling of confidence and esteem on the part ot those in authority at Washington. Who would have dreamt of such u thing twenty years ago? But now the government understands the south.” Each division commander then brought forward tho sponsor of his command with her maid of honor and the flag of his division, and each made a short speech and the sponsors presented the flags to Gen’l. Moor man who was ttunding at the right ol iho chairman. The following was the order in which the flags were presented:— South Carolina ; Virginia; Maryland; Kentucky; West Virginia; Missis sippi; Louisiana; Georgia; Tenuei- see; Texas; Arkansas; Missouri; Oklahoma; California; District of Columbia. It won id bo a gnat pleasure to re peat what was said in each case, but lack of space makes that impossible. Wo will only refer to > ur own spot sor, Miss Mary Carwile, and her ma d ot honor, M.as Lulu Cassells Lake, omitting tne others with great regret that we haven’t the space to do them justice. Miss Maty Carwile, of Edge- Held, is the only Uuughter of Briga dier General Thomas W. Carwile, commanding the 2nd brigade 8outh Carolina division U. C. Veterans. 8he is lull and handsome. She grad uated from St. Alary s Episcopal College at Raleigh, N. C., a few y»ars ago. Her most intelligent and queenly bearing, together with her uenial, affable and courteous disposi tion, renders h ;r an especial favoiite of the 8. C. Veterans. Her father entered the Confederate service a boy of sixteen years, and u private at that. He was in all tl o p incipal engagements in which his command look part. He carried the re i- mental colors at the buttle of Fra sier’s farm; and us ranking captain commanded his regiment (the 14th 8. C.,) at Appomat.ox. Miss Lula Cassells Luke is the daughter of Capt. George B. Lake, of Edgefield. 8he comes from the be A blood in both 8outh Carolina and Georgia. Her father coinu.anded his company (B) of the 22nd 8. C , regi ment at the famous buttle of the Grater, July 30.h, 1804. In that e..- gugeuibiit Cupt. Like’s entire com pany, including bis only lieutera t and thirty-four men, were buiri-d ty the explosion. He, his lieutenant and only three of his men were res cued from the co .tines of a living tomb after the works had been n.- cupttired by our men. Miss Lake is a tall, beautiful aid graceful young girl, and although nit out of college yet. she is an honor to the veterans she represents as well as the noble ancestry to whicb.she belongs. By way of parcthesis we will say just litre that those of our U. C. j Veterans, or even visitors, who attend ! tho Chester reunion this summer will do well to hear ('apt. Lake tell his experience in that ‘ blow up.” Hla account of it will abundantly pay anyone to go some distance to hear. When the Kentucky flag was handed Gen’I. Moorman he waved it and without a inomeiit’s notice the strains of “My Old Kentucky Home” come from tho rear of the stage. This provoked great applause. Most of tho banners resembled each other somewhat. They gener ally had battle flags in one corner, with the seal of the State either in front or on tho back. That of Geor gia was somewhat different. On one aide of It was “Our Fiagt,” with a group of Hugs. On the reverse side a picture of Jefferson Davis. As the West Virginia Hag was pre sented the mention of Stonewall Jackson’s name 1m ought torth a thunder of applause which echoed and reechoed throughout the build ing, telling in indisputable language that ho “being dead yet lives. ” Gen’I. Lee introduced Miss Lucy Lee Hill, daughter of Gen’J. A. I’. Hill, who was sponsor for the Chicago camp. She was heartily welcomed by tho veterans. A tall Texan, whose silvery locks hung carelessly about his neck, arose and proposed “three cheers for the daughter of Gen’I. A. P. Hill, to which a re sponse came from a thousand throats and as many or moro fans and hand kerchief from the galleries. Gen’J. Underwood, of Kentucky, exhibited ^ix life size portraits which are to adorn the Battle Abbey. They are the work of the celebrated artist, Andrews, and were shown with great effect. The pictures were those of Gen’is. N. B. Forest, Wade Hampton, John B. Gordon, “Stonewall” Jack- son and Robert E. Lee. As the cur tain was drawn aside and each figure came to view the incandescent light behind the reflector blazed out, light ing up the scene, to which the audi ence gave emphasis in rousing cheers from every part of the hall. As General Lee introduced General Joe Wheeler the vast assemblage arose as one man and gave three cheers for the hero of 8untiago. The General acknowledged the compli ment with a graceful bow and retired amid great applause and tho bund playing “Bonnie Blue Flag.” Alany old Veterans will bo glad for us to say something of the- State bat tle flags we saw during the reunh n festivities'. These we should have mentioned in our account of the pa rade, but it is not too lute now. We will mention a few : The first South Carolina—Greggs regiment. Hurt’s battery—by Louis Sherfese; the first Confederate Hag that floated over Fort Sumter ufttr its evacuation by Major Anderson. SGi South Carolina regiment, Ker shaw’s brigade. 10th South Carolina regiment, Gist’s brigade. The Hag that floated over Gen'I. Kershaw’s headquarters at the battle of Fredericksburg, Va., was curried by 1). R. Flennikt n, of Columbia. 7th 8. C. Infantry, Kershaw bri gade ;51rd 8. C. regiment, Hampton’s Legion; regimental flag of fifth S C. cavalry, carried by N. B. Eison, of Jonesville; 3rd 8. C. calvary; 12th S. C. infantry. Dunnovant’s old regi ment, carried by 8. \V. Ruff; and Luc is’ battery. There were com pany flags which we will speak of later. .i L. a. Dodge Them 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 all wasting and exhausting diseases. goe. and $1.00, all druggists. —OTT & BOWNK.

HENDERSON FOR M’KINLEY. Iowa Coiigrrssinufi Says the President Should Be Upheld. Milwaukue, Juno 5—The Journal today prints an interview with Genera) D. B. Henderson of Iowa, in which he expresses gratitude for the effective ef forts of Wisconsin congressmen in his behalf ns candidate for the speakership to succeed Speaker Reed. In regard ta the report that he is an anti-imperialist and with reference to other like mat ters General Henderson said that now is no time for individuals to fix policies. “See where we are,” said General Henderson, "and then see whether it is reasonable for us to attempt to antici pate tbe condition which time will bring. Here we are on June 5 in a pe riod of transition and readjustment and congress will not meet until next De cember—unless, which is not likely, there should be a special session—and wo should not attempt to forestall fu ture action which the light of develop ments may prove lo be advantageous and proper. “What ws all should do at this thus is to steadfastly support President Mc Kinley.
