KOITOKIAI. 1)11 I I< I I.TIKK. The man who writes for the public and comments on men and things as he sees them, has a thorny 10a l to travel. In an i.s^ue last week we at tempted to indulge in a little pleas antry at the expense of the .blood hound, and to cull the attention of the public to the possibilities sup posed to be wrapped up in the tough skin of the common hound. A few days after the paper appeared we received from a friend who lives fifty miles away a congratulatory letter in which Jibe article on the bh o.l hound v.as declared to he tin* finest thing that v.e had ever been known to put up. In a half hour after nad'i.g . ur friend's letter and while we were still all aglow with the self- satisfaction which it had inspired, we opened Iasi Friday's issue ot i'he Ledger, and Jo! about the* first thing that met cur eyes was Chief Dun can's grim and ominous protest against that very article on the blood hound. W hat's a fellow to do under such circumstances? Chief Duncan thinks that the article was a wanton at tack on him and an unwarranted slander on the services of his dogs, vCiile our unnamcU friend enj >ys the article as if it had been gotten up especially for his personal benefit. Now, we want to say that we bad neither the pleasing of the one nor the injury of the other in view, when we wrote that article, in fact we did not have the name of either one of these gentlemen in mind, and wo wish to assure both that we are not authority on dogs, and that wliut we say of them either in praise or dispraise, may well he taken with many grains of allowance. We write only our general impressions and they are often in merest outline. We know Chief Duncan only by reputation as a gallant and faithful officer, who lias rendered eminent service to the cause of law and or der, and at the time we wrote we were perfectly oblivious of the fact that he keeps blood hounds and also of the services which these animals had rendered. As to the dogs in (lallney, the Chief’s assertion that there never has been a blood hound here, is disappointing and depress ing. We remember distinctly that wo subscribed a quarter for the pur chase of them, and that afterwards v.e paid It, and that after that we were told by some one that “the pups had come,” and we had been resting satisfied that they were being pampered and taught in some luxu rious chamber in a quiet part of the town, and that they were thriving and fast growing into vigorous dog- hood and ere long would leap forth to avenge every insult ollered to the magesty of law and would become a perfect terror to all evil doers. And now to be told that there never bus been one hfrt! Chief, you ought not to have so rudely dispelled our drcnrii. Toll it not in Cath; publish it not in the streets of Askalon, lest the common hound howl with de light ; lest the chicken thief crow in triumph, and his daughters become arrogant and hateful. I NTOl.KKA 1.1.10. On lust Sunday afternoon a large crowd of men and boys, biack and white, and a pack of hounds of all colors and sizes assembled on the play ground at Limestone and pro ceeded to exhibit a panorama of a fourth-of-July celebration in pros pective. They went into bail train ing w it ii a wimup and relish; tiny lun bicycles with the dogs barking in pursuit; and for hours they made the .Sabbath air resonant with the yelping of dogs and the discordant shouts and yells of men and boys. Now, we wish to give notice that such assemblages cannot he allowed at Limestone on tiie .Sabbath, and such conduct can hardly he allowed on any other day. Limestone College will be delighted to have the ladies and gentlemen of CafTney or of any other place to en joy themselves on the spring grounds at any time, and of course on pub lic occasions when ball games, bicy cle riding and such things are in or der, no objection whatever will bo made to the boisterous enthusiasm incident to such occasions. Uut if the town is going to use the grounds as a purl, for reeroation and amuse ment, it must protect the college against inotly crowds that have no respect for decency and little regard HON. AMOS J.

It needs wholesome instruction, that is all. We arc sure further that every good citizen of Gullney will recognize the reason and justice of these remarks. NO IKS AM) < OMUKVI'S. [Tho I*<»»i «tl eor«l. At twelve years Secretary of State Cooper pro poses to have the State capitol build ing in Columbia completed—a thing ardently desired by every man who cherishes any state pride. This building was in process of construc tion when the Civil War broke out. Owing to the exigencies of the times, it was hastily furnished with such covering as would temporarily protect it from the weather, and it has stood in that unsightly condi tion ever since. There has been enough of the people’s money un wisely and unjustly squandered on suet luxurious buildings as those of Clemson and Wintlirop, to have tin- ished the Htate Capitol five times over. But the bunding through all “the days of good stealing.” and through ail the days of extravagant appropriations, has remained in its dilapidated condition, an eyesore and a disgrace to the whole State. Let it be completed now. The peo ple of the Slate should have one building in which they can take a common pride. + ♦ ♦ ♦ News from the Philippines is sub jected to strict censorship and ail reports given by our government may b» regarded with suspicion, The fad that large n iiiforecineiits are being rapidly gathered and sent for ward, is not favorable to a belief in the speedy termination of the war. Tiie w hole thing is a had piece of business. The Columbia State gives the whole situation in a nut shell. when it says, “Thu I'niu-d States lias been made to buy an archipelago of many hundred is let d.-, and after live luonlhs’ fight ing ha. secured tiie involuntary de livery of one tow n, one city and <10 miles of railroad as bases for its | eastern empire.” ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ So far as we know Cherokee county has had good rains, but many parts of the State are still destitute. With a half crop of wheat, the oat and (lie fruit crop a failure, with the" potato bug and the j corn borer getting in their work of j destruction, with taxes going up.and ! products coming down, the farmer at this time certainly has few oncolir- j agements. But somehow he will get | along and carry the world with him. A Uattlc Snake Katcr. LSavannah Nows.l Moses Henderson is a sable son of Africa and lives two miles from ! A m eric us in a rock field, where rut- j tie snakes are most plentiful. Moses J makes » living by capturing snakes I and selling them. Whenever he can not sell them lie eats them. This is the truth, as strange as it may seem. Last wuek lie killed a large one with (•Iiveil rattles on it. This was a fat I snake and Moses ate it. The other d.iy he brought a very large snake to the city, trying to suit its bide. There were L’d rattles on it. The snake was very poor, and Musts said it would not do to cat, ami :;<■ Mulled its hide and sold it for a g , U price. Every year Moses makes a good deal of money selling snake oil. He says right down the vertebrate of a rattle snake is a fatty streak of ll-sh that makes an oil, when fried, that will cure any case of rheumatism. Jt is strange to how many people he si - 11 s this rheumatic snake oil. He has a long list of certificates from people lie has cured. Some of them are from intelligent whites, who declare that the oil lias cured when all other remedies have failed. He sells a vial of the oil for one dol lar and guarantees a lasting cure. Moses says his father was an African hoodoo doctor and taught him how to cure all aches and pains with snake oil. The negroes of Sumter county venerate and fear him us a Mysterious doctor who can cure when all else fails, and look upon his snake oil as something cnchsintt d ll«' I'oolt'd Tin* SuraoiiH.
