NOTES AND COMMENTS.
ETHICS
There seems to be a slight differ
ence of opinion existing in the minds
of some members of the medical pro
fession and some newspaper editors,
in regard to certain principles which
should or should not enter into the
code of medical ethics. Not long
since, a certain medical society of
Charlotte, N. 0., volunteered to in
struct an editor of a Charlotte paper
along this line, and proceeded to
formulate certain rules by which he
should be governed in the publication
of articles of news concerning medi-
o.'il men in their professional work.
Tin editor not being convinced of the
error of his ways, and seeing no
good reason for changing a long es
tablished custom of publishing such
items as to him seemed right and
proper, proceeded in turn to decline
the offer with thanks. The editor
of the Columbia State in comment
ing upon the subject directed a few
very pertinent inquries to the medi
cal profession, which so far as we
have seen, have not been answered.
Whether this is the result of an over
sight, simple indilference, or whether
there is a clause in the code which
prohibits the distribution of such in
formation among the laity we are
of course unable to say.
We do not claim to be authority
on such matters, but in our crude
unprofessional opinion there is a
groat deal of absurdity, either em
bodied in the code itself or in the
application of its principles to pro
fessional life.
It doubtless sounds very lofty to
hear a professor of a medical college,
who is probably realizing an income
of .f 15,000 or $20,000 a year, in
culcating into the minds of his medi
cal students the idea that their chief
object in practicing their profession
is the relief of suffering humanity—
that any thought of compensation is
beneath the dignity of their calling,
and that such renumeration is to be
received merely as the accepted of
fering of grateful patients. All such
twaddle doubtless sounds noble and
self-sacrificing in the extreme, but
the broad fact remains that patients
sometimes refuse to be grateful, and
in the meantime the doctor is ex
pected to pay his bills.
This is a fast age; competition
in the professions as in every other
business is sharper than it has ever
been before, and the man who would
succeed can not alTord to hamper
himself with false ideas of ethics,
but must push his business by all
the recognized legitimate means
available.
Many a poor fellow has begun the
practice of his profession, endowed
naturally with good sense and all the
qualities essential to success, whose
wife and children have been forced
to struggle against poverty and want
—whose whole life proved to be a
miserable failure, from a human
standpoint—all because he was pre
vented from grasping opportunities
and making the best use of the
means at his command through fear
of overstepping the sacred limits of
this mysterious code.
THE ASSASSINATION OF I.AIiOKI.
Political aiTairs in France are be
coming rather too warm for comfort.
On the 14th inst., M. Lubori, a
French lawyer and chief counsel for
Dreyfus, while on his way from his
place of residence to the Lycee wa^
shot and perhaps mortally wounded
by an unknown assassin, who made
his escape. Thus the ball opens.
When and where it will end no man
can predict with certainty. The
animofity existing between the civil
and military factions increases daily,
.lustice and reason seem for the time
to he dethroned while passion, pre
judice, hatred ami malice reign
supreme. When in addition we con
sider, the hot, impulsive nature of the
French people and the excited state
of public feeling, such incidents as
the above are by no means surpris
ing. In fact it is but the natural
result of existing conditions and we
should not be at all surprised if this
attempted assassination should prove
to be the first act of a wholesale
tragedy.
There can hardly be a doubt as to
the effect tiiis cowardly deed will
have on the trial of Dreyfus. The
victim is a man of wonderful
ability—noted througlfout France
for his oratory, his keen perception
and force of argument, and hence
The Gaffney Cotton Mill comes
forward with a generous contribution
to the storm sufferers of Puerto Rico.
This is a noble examblc of unselfish
generosity on the part of the com
pany which should be followed by
other mills.

Greenwood County continues to
furnish her full quota of exciting
news. This time a certain class of
white men form themselves into
“white cap’’ organizations, or more
appropriately speaking “black cup’’
organizations, for the purpose of whip
ping and terrorizing innocent and de
fenseless negroes. Their object, as
reported, is to run the negroes out of
the community in order that these
so-called white people may secure the
occupancy of certain valuable farm
ing lands now rented to the negroes
by really white landlords. When will
these cowardly exhibitions of barbaric
cruelty—these shameful outrages on
decency and civilization have an end?

to find that their pathway through
tiiis life is not paved with one con
tinuous bed of roses. They have their
troubles, trials and disappointments
the same as beset us common, every
day people. Thorns will stick up
here and there to prick their unsus
pecting feet. When their patients
recover all goes well, but when one
dies, having been denied medical as

land, the responsible parties are lia

dered by the coroner’s jury in the
case of the death of a child a few days
since in Darlington, a member of one
of the most prominent families of
that city. Thus ends another pure,
innocent life, sacrificed on the altar
of fanaticism.

(Correspondence of The T.odEcr.)
Bi.acksuirg, August 1L—In my
last weeks letter I noted three things
a fire, the army worm and a cutting
affair amongst some individuals of
color. This week, circumstances
compel me to write of something
that is not only equally unfortunate,
but a strange combination of the ri
diculous and intensely pathetic.
The Cherokee Investigator is dead,
and thereby lumgs a tale! For the
editor of that now defunct publica
tion, 1 have only the warmest feel
ings and highest regards. But lie
was certainly a misguided youth—the
victim of evil counsel.
This place has been for years, and
is still, a newspaper graveyard. The
many deserted buildings, once the
homes of brains, money and energy,
but now the resting place of hats,
spiders, etc., stand us silent witness
es to that fact. Blacksburg by itself,
is not now, and never has been, able
to support a newspaper. And when
one considers that fact in connection
with the additional fact that there is
a striking lack of unanimity among
our people and but little, if any, re
lation with the country people, it
can readily he seen how hard it
would be for a newspaper to live,
even if its editor was fortunate
enough not to represent any clique
or faction.
The story goes, and I give it for
what it is worth—that there was,
and is still, an individual in this
place who was of the opinion that
the interest of the county, if not the
whole state, was suffering because of
his absence from the halls of legisla
tion and consequently offered him
self for office. It was not long how
ever. before he found th.at his path
was strewn with anything but roses.
His course was such as to arouse the
ill-feeling of all self-respecting peo
ple. And standing out prominently
in the light was the county paper.
Its search light was placed upon him
with microscopic precision. Turn
as he may, its (to him) unpleasant
rays were always there ! At last in
utter and absolute desperation, he
conceived a scheme that he thought
would work. The owners of many
printing presses in the state, and
some outside, were communicated
with. The most alluring induce
ments were offered. Indeed a finer
opening was never presented! The
influence of this aspiring individual,
was pictured in glowing terms. Not
only were the people of the town but
those of the country, grovelling at
his feet. There would be subscribers
galore, aside from the great amount
of job work and advertising that
would come from the merchants
that he “controlled.” And further
more, the town hall had been burned
but a short time before. New ordi
nances had to be published, and one
closely related to him was so con
nected with the administration of
municipal affairs as to insure their
publication.
Well up in the mountains of
North Carolina lived a young man.
He had a sweet wife, a nice home, a
good printing press and a little capi
tal. To make a long story short,
that man came here. He found that
this aspirant was the representative
of a clique in the town and ab
solutely destitute of friends in the
country. However, with nerve de
serving of commendation, tiiis
young fellow started ids paper. As
time passed his list of subscribers
failed to grow and but few, if any, ad
vertised. An ordinance or two was
published, but the aspirant’s near
relative was relieved of his arduous
duties in connection with the admin
istration of town affairs. But that
was not all. This young editor,
while on a business trip to Charlotte,
met with an accident. While at
tempting to board the midnight
southbound train, he fell and his left
leg was crushed by the train And
today, after many days of physical
pain and mental anguish, we find
that he lias left us. What little capi
tal lie has is gone, and his outfit is in
the hands of an officer for debt.
Such is the story, and now a word
in conclusion. Of the trials and
tribulations of the aspirant for po
litical honors, I need say nothing
more at least, for the present.—he
was ignominlously defeated. As
to the young newspaper man, he is
deserving of better luck. Tis sad
to see such a glaring case of mis
placed confidence—followed by mis
fortune. The sympathy of the pub
lic will go out to him and his, and
put its seal of condemnation upon
those who are responsible lor it.
Let us hope that lie is back among
the rugged and picturesque hills of
his native state—his reveries dis
turbed during the day by only the
occasional bark of a Mop-eared hound,
while at night lulled to sleep by the
seductive sound of a whip-poor-will,
and where, ever and anon, is wafted
on the wings of a delicious breeze—a
scent suspicious of moonshine stills.

Two years ago representatives from

Gaffney and organized the Cherokee
county Interdenominational Subbath
School Convention, by electing the
following officers to wit:
Prof. R. O. Sams, president ; J. L.
Strain, k secretary; J. F. Garrett,
treasurer.
A vice-president was appointed in
each township as follows:
Morgan—M. B. Scruggs.
Cherokee—R. E Porter.
Dray ton vil!e—William Jefferies.
Gowdeyville—T. M. Littlejohn.
Limestone—B. H. Byars.
White Plains—Luther Guthrie.
Executive Committee—B. B. Rob

Committee on Constitution—II. B.
Griffith, T. M. Littlejohn, W. T. Hor

| For satisfactory reasons no meet

we propose to carry on the work and,
if possible, place Cherokee county
where it properly belongs—in the
