DKUOt'i: \TI< <U TI.OOK. This paper is not a political organ. It takes note of political events only as matters of news, and it sometimes criticises politicians and expresses its views on economic subjects only because it wishes to restrain evil in any and every form and do what it can towards promoting the happiness and the moral and material well be ing of the people. Being free from all “entangling alliances,” having no political favorites, with no favors to ask for itself and none to bestow, it is certainly not blinded by prejudice nor warped by self interest in any opinions it may formulate and i x- press. t ruler such conditions we give it fis our opinion formed on a somewhat eueursory reading of the signs of the times, that in national politics, free silver at It* to 1, is a dead duck and that if the Democratic party with Bryan at its head, make this a lead ing issue in the next presidential contest, there will be a dead goose in the Democratic pasture. The time has been when the claims of free silver were plausible and worthy of serious consideration, and that time may come again; but just now the tide of opinion is strongly against it and there isn’t one solid, convincing argument in its favor. The man who wants money cheaper than it is now, hardly has an ap preciation of what money is good for. and the man who wants to sell his produce at a higher price, even thongh he Know that the rise in price is caused by the fall in the value of the money paid him, is somewhat in the mental condition of the little boy wlto gets his nickle changed into live pennies and imagines that he is vastly bent-fitted by the deal. Since the free silver agitation of three years ago, other great issues have arisen to confront the Demo cratic party and to put it upon pro bation before the country and the world. The protective tarilf. the expansion policy, and more than all, the domination of t rusts—these are tin- weights that are pressing the life blood out of the country, and the only hope of relief is in the De mocratic party. It is more than probable that the war in the Philippines will still be on hand at the m xt presidential elec tion, unless the .McKinley adminis tration in its desperation either do something Napoleonic or make some degrading concessions. It is not to be supposed that the war already un popular, will gain popularity as it is protracted and its burdens press more and more heavily upon the peo- ple. The protective tarilf will still foster monopolies that will suck the sustenance of the country, and the great trusts will tighten tiieir grasps us their victims become more and more helpless, and never before in the history of the nation, has the Democratic party had such momen tous issues to face as it will have in the next presidential campaign. If it face them wisely and bravely, there will he a chance for a grand sweeping victory; if it ignore the re sponsibilities ot these issues and fritter away its strength and its op- opportunity, it will deserve to hill like Lucifer, never to rise again. KOHICKT IMiKitSOM.. Colonel Robert Ingersoll, the great apostle of unbelief, has passed out of the realm of doubt and shadow into the realization of what lies be yond. Whatever may be the state into which he has entered, whether that of annihilation or that of con tinued consciousness, it is certainly to him no longer a state of doubt and speculation. He was a man of great talents, of fine feelings, of high moral charac ter and outwardly of pure life. He saw beauty in everything and dis coursed even of -bis doubts with a rythmical How of language and n beauty of diction which arrested at tention and won admiration. Home of his talks over the graves of rela tives und friends are among the most beautiful und pathetic that were ever uttered by human tongues. He did much towards unsettling the faith of many—much towards dissipating fond hopes that strengthen and encourage the human heart in hours of trial, and pleasing anticipations that sweeten even the cup of sorrow from which all the sons of Adam must sooner or later drink. He blighted hope and left < in its stead only despair; he wrecked and desecrated the temple of faith, hut built no nther on the ruins; ho told us that the Bible is a myth, that re ligion is a superstition, but he failed to tell us what is true, and laid no foundation upon which we can build a single hope, lie snatched away the lump that illuminated the path way of men and left them to grope thur way in utter darkness, beguiled only by the syren song that hr* sang and the hopeless tale that ho told. Surely n life that brought only darkness to human hearts and shed only blight and mildew over human hopes, is infinitely worse than a fail ure, which is only a negative evil. Such a life is an active blight, an eating canker, a positive drawback to the happiness and well being of the human race—all without otfset, compensation, or redemption. CROCKER-THACKSTON.

This is not only a compliment to the ability of Mr. Robertson, hut is a dis tinct complement to Gaffney. Mr. Robertson will not, however, accept the call to Charleston just now. He has plans to carry out that will require his staying in Gaffney. He is deeply interested in the new church and the approaching State Baptist Conven tion and therefore will not leave Gaff ney for the present. \\ bt-itl (■rourrit.

ETTA JANE ETCHINGS. The of Mnium- Thero is no sympathy between proud mind and a beggars purse. a Aimlver-ury of tin* ItntH •UK NiMH Notl'M. (Corn upondi tiro of The Lediier ) Etta Jam:, July 21.—The recur rence of this memortblo day calls to our mind a still greater man. The 2lst day of July is associated with life and the history of Stonewall Jackson so us to settle any doubt hut that, he was among the greatest, if not the greatest American of the ctntury. But few p< >plc knew* that Sione- wall Jackson's greatness begun with liis first service as teacher oi a col ored Suhhuth school. This memorial service led him step by' step from the lowest to I he topmost round of the nations admiration. From Rev. Robert F. Campbell’s paper, on “some aspects of the race problem in the South,” I have got this history of the man whoso name and fame bus tiled two hemispheres. A day or two after tho buttle of Manasses (July 21 IStil) and before the news of the victory hail reached Lexington (Ya.) in authentic form, tbc postollice was thronged with peo ple, waiting with intense interest the opening of tlie mail. Soon a letter was handed Rev. Dr. White, who im mediately recognized the well-known superscription of his deacon soldier, and exclaimed to the eager and ex pectant group around him: “Now we will know all tho facts”—Upon opening the letter it read thus: ‘•My Dear I’l'.stor: In my tent Iasi nifrlit. after.a fatiguim,' ilay's service, I reineui- lierell Unit I hail I Midi to seinl my ciilitil- In. t Ion for i in r roll nil Salilmtli school.

Not one word was- said about the great battle in which he had won the immortal Soubriquet “Stonewall.” A desire for worldly honors formed no part of the characteristics of Gen. Jackson. How truly does this verify j the saying: •l.lltle drops of .naler, little grains of sand, Make tlie mi/thry ocean and the pleasant I land.” “What might have been”—if that little cough hadn’t been neglected— is the sad reflection of thousands of consumptives.

Last Wednesday evening a de- Htructive bail storm passed over a portion of I'nlon county doing much damage to the crops. iVe are glad to note that our old friend and army comrade Dr. A. E. Fort, of Meador, is still afoot. For a long time he has been in n precarious state of health and doubts as to his recovery were entertained by those lu st qualified to know his condition. Ho only weighs about 15<* lbs. now. For many years he lias been deaf. His deafness was caused by the con cussion of a shell during the tiu ino- rible campaign of l8lit at Fort Har rison in part of Richmond, Ya. He hopes to meet the survivors of Gary’s old brigade at the Chester re-union as well us the other. We are glad to bear such a favora ble report from’the Antioch picnic last Saturday. Gur friend “E. A. T.” is the man to write it up. The cotton prospects in many places are not encouraging. We heard a farmer say a day or two ago that his erop was oIT one-third, it matters not how the seasons may terminates. Do tlie best it can he could not get over two-thirds of a crop now. Every body should sow turnips, not only for table use hut for # stock. Our sweet potatoes seem to stand the dry weather bettor than the other crops. We acknowledge a kind invitation to attend Childrens Day at Baity church on the 2bth ir.st. What hits become of our Ledger correspondents? '1 hey art: very quiet now, it seems. Col. George McDutfie Miller died last week at his home near “Ninety Six.” He hud a host of friends and relatives among our Ledger readers who will mourn his loss.
