NOTKS AND COMMENTS. The cremating of the body of Rob ert Ingersoll seemed altogether fit ting. It wap|;is nearanapproach loan f»culnr demonstration of his doctrine of annihilation as his friends could make. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦- Luetgert, the rich sausage maker, who ground up his wife in his mill and sold her as sausage, was found dead in his prison cell. It is thought he died of heart failure, caused by too great a weight on that organ which he was supposed to possess, rity it didn’t fail sooner, but better late than never. ♦ ♦ ♦ 4- \ow, the usual crime looms up in Washington right under the eyes and nose of the Federal ({overnment. A young white woman attended by a male escort was beset by a party of ( i<dit necroes who boat the escort till he was unconscious, and then all assaulted the woman. The police have arrested the negroes. We won der what they are going to do about it. 4 ♦ ♦ ♦ Our experience with lawyers as given somewhat in detail in T u* hed ger a week or two ago, has stirred up the honest members of the Wulter- boro bar, and in a sort of lasi in dignation meeting they dem. nd par ticulars. We have furnished them names and facts, and now wo are concerned to know what they are going to do about it all. We are ready to back all we have said with tacts and figures which cannot be turned down. 4-4-4 4- The popular saying that it will rain throughout the dog-days, if it rain on the first, will not do to swear by. Last Saturday was fair all day. There is, however, no scarcity of rain On Sunday afternoon the heaviest rain fell about OafTnoy that has fallen here in twelve months. The ground is thoroughly soaked at last and we fear that the crops on lowlands have been overflowed. If these crops are now to be destroyed by floods, it will be a calamity in deed. 4- ♦ ♦ ♦ The State Press Association held its annual session at Harris Lithia Spring last week. For four days the knights of the quill mingled with one another excliangeing views on the subject of newspaper making and in social discourse. The Ledger was represented and wo are glad to have been there. We wish that every publisher in the State would join the association. It makes those win) at tend these meetings feel that there is a golden cord that binds one to the other that does not exist elsewhere. 4- 4- ♦ 4- The people are building faster than the trees are growing, and the big pine forests are fast disappearing un der the demands of an ever increas ing population with its ever increas ing desires for homes and homo com forts. Good lumber is becoming scarce and the lumber men cannot keep up with orders. The new brick building at Limestone is now stand ing still, we are told, for the lack of door and window frames, which are promised by the loth of August! Such hitches are exasperating to those who want buildings in a limited time, before many years, stone will constitute the principal building material in this country. ♦ 4 4 4- The great glass trust sends out cir culars announcing an advance of '» per cent, in the price of glass to take effect today, August the Jst. On June 20th, the price was raised 25 per cent, by arbitrary announce ment. So the advance altogether is ilo per cent. We see nothing in 4jie conditions to prevent another order to the effect that the price shall be advanced by another 50 per cent, on the 1st of September. If it be not done, the bosses will be restrained by policy and not by lack of power. In deed, the law of supply and demand, which has cut such a figure hereto fore in economies, is annulled or greatly modified. The price of al most everything a man uses is fixed by trusts, and the only principle of regulation depends on what the pro tective tariff will allow and how much the people will bear. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The town of Florence bus a negro postmaster, and the people are res tive and dissatisfied under his ap pointment. They do not, however, threaten violence, but are deter mined to exhaust all peaceable and legal means within their reach, for his removal. They have sent a strong delegation to Washington lo lay the matter before tho President and it is hoped that lie will listen to reason and justice. Why tho Gov ernment will persist in thrusting these obnoxious postmasters upon our towns in the face of all that has occurred in tho past, it is difficult to see. The negroes have no claims on the post offices. The white people support the offices by furnishing nine-tenths of the business trans acted through the mails, and if there were no other reasons, this fact alone would suggest the injustice of the appointment of negro postmast ers. 4 4 4 4 Farmers, don’t forget the \\ heat Grower’s Convention to meet in Greenwood, on the 15th inst. Many of you will bo in town here next Sat urday. Come together in tho court house at 11 o’clock a. no., and elect two or three of your number dele gates to that meeting, by so doing you will get good and do good. Every business of any magnitude in this country is organized, except that of the farmer. There is strength in organization, there is progress in the widening of views which comes of consultation. The country needs more wheat, and some few of our famurs know how to make it. Vie have heard of one farmer within a few miles of Gaffney who has made this year twenty-two bushels to every bushel sown, while the great major ity didn’t make three. That man ought to go down to Greenwood and tell Ids brother farmers how lie did it. It would do them good to hear it, and it would do him good to tell it. besides the mooting will do good in creating sympathy among the farmers, in broadening their acquain tance with one another’s methods, in dignifying their calling, and in ex tending their views in various direc tions. 4 44 4 Order has been practically restored in Cleveland. <>., and the big street railway strike lias resolved itself into a general boycott of the big Con solidated company and of everybody who rides on its cars. All flic labor organizations of the city sympathize and co-opcrate with Hie strikers. Not only are merchants punished for riding on the cars, but they are warned not to sell goods to anybody who does ride on thorn. Even drug gists in so.no instances have refused to sell drugs to persons accused of patronizing the big Consolidated, and so the fun iroes on. It is the same old war that lias been waged in one form or another since tho hu man race first set its foot on the earth, and it will go on with varying fortunes until the human race shall have passed away. In its past pro gress, it has undermined and wrecked stronger governments than ours, and built up others on the ruins, but to bo wrecked in tiieir turn. It will sooner or later extend its ravages to the South and turn this whole land into a bedlam where life will not be worth the living. Then there will he an upheaval, a mighty shaking up of alt the ingredients, and a new crys tallization power. Then the atmos phere will be clear as after a thunder storm and the race for prosperity and happiness will begin anew under now auspices, to end only, after the com pletion of another cycle, in the same old way. It is thus that the world moves, and it is thus it will continue to move as long as human nature remains what it is. ♦ 4 4 ♦ The Columbia State called on us some time back to rebuke somebody, we forget whom, for using the word “anent ” We hardly know whether the State meant to compliment or to criticise us—to imply that our judg ment is good, or to insinuate that we are hypercritical and pedantic, be that as it may, until our limited vo cabulary is subjected to some ex traordinary strain, we shall try to get along without the word,J“anent.’' We sometimes use slang, but never if we can express our meaning as forci bly without it. We never use a word or a phrase just because it is odd and ugly, any more than we should select an article of dress for the same purpose. We should about us soon lead out an old Indiun Hquuw at a fashionable dance us to bo caught hob nobbing with the word ‘‘anent” in current literature. And while we are about it, we may as well say that we have no place in the editorial room of this paper for tho man who "Sundaedy” in a neighboring town, any more than for the thief who “burglari/^d” a neighbor's house. We have sorno decided objections also to the man who “suicided,” and almost equally strong ones to tho man who was ‘‘real sorry” to hear of it. Wo still look "with suspicion upon the man who “wires” a mes sage, but we may in time make up with him. These are but a few in stances of our dislikes, for which we think we have substantial reasons. We don't, think we are fastidious and bard to please^ either. <iuvt‘ li I' .irin for ii Drink. ?'ornt I’mcasant, Tex , July 28. —A section of land which constitutes one of the finest farms in tho fertile Brazos bottom of Texas onco sold for a drink of water. It was about fifty years ago, ac cording Ex-Lieutenant Governor George T. Jester, that a crowd of frontiersmen from otf Hie Brazos came to Corsicana on u trading ex pedition. Corsicana at that time was not as great a town as it is now’, since it threatens to rival Hie most pro ductive oil region of I’ernuyIvania, but was a typical frontier village or trading post. The grandfather of Governor Jester was a Methodist cir cuit rider, and lived at that time in Corsicana. He occupied a two-story double log bouse. His house was a rendezvous for people from far and near, who came trading. In those days land certificates wore used as circulating medium, as money was rarely seen. On one occasion a whiskey-drink ing character from oil the Brazos ar rived in town, got on a drunk, and at night was put to bed in the second story of tlie Jester mansion. About I o’clock in the morning be awoke with a terrible thirst. No water was in the room, and in* couldn’t find the way down stairs. Sticking his head out of the window he saw some men asleep in the yard. He called to them to bring him a drink of water, but no one answered him. A second ami a third time be called, with no response. Finally he jelled out: “One of you fellows bring me a drink of water and I’ll give you 520 acres of land.” This aroused one of the sleepers, wliocalled back Hint be wouldn’t climb those slops for 520 acres of land, and the offer was raised to G40 acres. The man under the tree drew a bucket of water and lugged it up-stairs and offered n dip perful to Hie toper, but be pushed it aside. “Give it to mo out of tho bucket like a horse,” he said, and he put about half the contents of tho bucket under ills belt. ♦ In those days a Texan’s word was his bond, and this fellow kept bis word about the land. Next morning he made his benefactor a deed to (HO acres of Brazos bottom land. This land still belongs to tho defendants of the water carrier, and is one of the finest farms to be found in all Texas. It is now worth from $55 to $10 per acre.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. MuynurU M;itt< rs. (Correspondence of Tiic Ledger ) Maynakd, S. (!., July 2G.—Rov. John Garie, of Calhoun, S.C., of holi ness fame, has pitched his. tent at Ducusviile and has been, for Hie past two weeks, preaching absolute sanc tification to the people of that sec tion. He has been having a con siderable number of hearers, but lias been making rather slow progress toward converting tlicin to hi*- faith. The trustees have secured the ser vice of Prof. Dickson, of Sumter, S. C., as principal of the Maynard school. The school opened last Mon day with one , hundred and thirteen pupils present. .Mr. Dickson comes well recommended, and wo hope and predict for him a successful year in liis chosen profession. Mrs. Pruett and daughters, Misses Emma and Rosa, and Mr. Whit Hen derson, of Carson creek, N. C., spent several days last week visiting friends and relatives in this section. Mr. Walker Childers, of Anderson county, is spending sometime in this section with his sister, Mrs. M. E. Childers. There is getting up quite a build ing boom at Easley. Dr. Smith has rolled back his old wooden structure, on the corner of Main and Sardine streets, preparatory to the erection of a handsome and substantial brick building. Col. J. L. Orr, President of the Piedmont cotton mill, came up to Easley the other day and made cer tain propositions to the people of Easley, upon the strength of which they went to work and secured over forty thousand dollars for tho pur pose of building a cotton mill at Easley. We did not learn the exact proposition made by Mr. Orr, but the people of Easley are very en thusiastic over the prospect of get ting a mill built. One of our brothers, (J. Y. W.) use to say that the best sign for rain, in dry weather, was to see the leaves of the trees turned up from the South, and we noticed his sign this summer carefully, and sure enough it rained, hut the sign was about thirty days in advance of the rain. So wo are now firmly convinced that there is something in signs. OeTA Vi's). IJU 1.1ft* Wa Si»v*mI. Mr. J. E.

Tho remains arrived in tho city at 7 o’clock on tho Central railroad, and were taken at once to the church, which is just across tho street from the depot. After chanting of the office of tho dead thero was celebrated a pontifical re quiem high mass. As tho train bearing the remains passed througn Augusta last nig’ f bells were tolled and a large crowd gi tiered, at the depot. The eulogy was pronounced by Vicar General Koiley of Georgia, in opposi tion to the expressed wishes of the de ceased. Several protestant clergymen of the city were present at tho funeral. An immense throng was in front of the church. The jiallbearers wore all well known Savannahians. They were Messrs. J. J. McDonough, William Kehoe, J. Cro nin, Arthur J.
