The people of (latTney will make
the greatest mistake in the history o |
the town, if through peevishness, Oi j
blind .prejudice, or mere indifference, |
they stay at home to-morrow and fail j
to vote for the further issue of bonds j
with which to complete the water
works and to establish an electric
plant. The money already expended
will be virtually lost, and (Jatfney
will suffer the shame of failure and
become an object of ridicule and de
rision to her neighbors.
Of course wo all regret the neces- |
sily which the emergency forces upon |
us. We could wish that the .fIN,000
already appropriated had been sulfi-
cient to equip the town with an ade
quate system of both water and lights.
We could wish that the price of iron
piping had not gone up, that the en
gineer hud not got sick, that closer
calculations had been made, that a
hundred and one things had not hap
pened, and that a hundred and one
tilings had happened. Rut we must
take things as we find them and make
ihe best of them. We must move
for the good of the town, we must
sacrifice for the health and comfort
of those now living and build for
those who are to come after us.
It is true that the town is carrying
gome heavy burdens, but that is no
argument. She will be compelled to
carry immeasurably heavier ones in
the future, if she refuse to increase
only by a little the weight of the
present ones. The man who has
to carry his firewood on his shoulders
from the forest carries heavy loads in
order to save time and diminish the
number of trips. That is common
sense and common prudence. The
man of business deprives himself and
family of the present enjoyment of
bis money in order that his money
may make more money for t he fut ure.
That is business sense. And every
where the thoughtful, provident man
cheerfully hears present ills in order
that lie may avoid greater ills in the
future.
The town is but an aggregate of
Individuals and is subject to the same
business principles—to the same laws
of economics—that control individ
uals in their private business. Com
mon patriotism, as well as common
sense, demands that we act for the
town us wc act for ourselves.
We have recently undetuken to have
mir dwelling house painted. We
made ns close a calculation as possi
ble of the amount of material it
would take, and we were aided by the
manufacturers themselves. We cal
culated almost to an inch the num
ber ofVquuros to be covered, and wc
bad the manufacturers’ certified state
ment that a * gallon would cover so
many squares. We calculated it all
to a nicety and made no mistake.
"We then bought the paints and had
sevcul extra gallons thrown in for
contingencies. Thus far all is satis
factory and works like a charm. Rut
by the time wo get on one coat the
unwelcome fact devlops that we must
have at least one third more paint
ami oil than we have bought, and
that it will take the painter one third
longer to put it on than was expected.
We don’t know what is the matter,
nor who is to blame. They say the
weatherboarding was “thirsty” for
l^aint and soaked it in surpris
ingly. That may bo so, but there
are many boles and surfaces that be-
e nne remarkably “thirsty” when a
man begins to spend money. We are
almost angry. We almost wish that
we had not begun to paint. Rut
what are we to do? Why, strain a
point, buy more paint and have the
1 ous) finished. That is the only sen-
tible thing to do.
< >ur experience is the experience, in
one form or another, of every man in
Gaffney. And just now it is the ex
perience of the town. To leave the
water works unfinished would bo as
lidicuiouK—not to say foolish—as it
%vould for us to leave our bouse two
1 birds painted.
The only sensible thing to do is to
Vote the bonds. Vote them early,
vote them late, vote them all the
time.

The Wulterboro Rar, inflamed with
righteous indignation, rushed forth
In n body to demand "who struck
J'illy I’utterson?” When the man
who did it stepped forth and said,
“Here am 1,” they only wanted to
tell h>m that ho ought not to have
done it.

Order has been restored in Geor
gia, and forty-six of the negro rioters
are on trial in Savannah. The lead
ing negroes of McIntosh county have
issued an address to their race ad
vising submission to law’ and good
behavior, and especially enjoining
the women to keep quiet. If the
leading negroes would take a little
more pains to prevent disturbances,
we should have fewer of them, and
there would be less cause for com
plaint of unfair treatment.

The rooms In the Limestone Col
lege dormitory are being rapidly as
signed to applicants. Car loads of
stylish new furniture are on the way;
the steam healing pipes are permea
ting every room in the building,
while out on the new auditorium Mr.
Cooper’s force of brick layers are pil
ing brick upon brick with startling
rapidity. Everything points to a large
and enthusiastic opening of the col
lege on the 20th inst. Gaffney will
take on new life when a host of pret
ty girls assemble at Limestone and
throng her churches and grace her
streets.

When a small culprit charged with
robbing a hen roost or of stealing a
neck tie from a show case is arrested
on a magistrate’s warrant he is
locked up in jail, pending a prelimi
nary hearing. Rut when a man of
high standing and of important po
litical affiliations robs the state of
jfGJ.OOO ho is permitted to board at a
fine hotel until all satisfactory pre
liminaries can be arranged. So much
is duo to the position that a man oc
cupies. Then the small culprit is a
thief; the other is just a man who
“fails to turn over to his successor.”
That’s the difference.

Another hurricane has been charg
ing around in the West Indies, and
giving some indications of again
heading towards the United States
coast. Consequently there has boon
a good deal of uneasiness and some
alarm in our sea coast towns. The
threatened danger, however, has not
yet materialized, and we hope the
rip-roarious visitor will run the
rounds of his rampage in other re
gions. We know too much for com
fort these latter days. Forty years
ago a hurricane might have raged in
the West Indies a whole week with
out disturbing the serenity of any
body on this continent.

General Joe Wheeler has landed in
Manilla and lias been assigned to the
command of a brigade of troops. We
wisli General Wheeler bad staid at
home and let McKinley k Co., push
their own schemes of conquest. Ife
could have well afforded to rest on
the laurels gained in bis young man
hood in fighting for the fairest land and
the noblest people that ever nerved a
soldier’s arm or inspired a soldier’s
heart. He adds nothing to bis fame
now by fighting to crush the very
spirit that actuated him and bis dar
ing followers in the heroic days of
the Confederacy. Ry so doing ho de
generates into a mere bloodthirsty
soldierof fortune and forfeits the ad
miration with which high principle
always crowns heroic deeds.
The long, dry. hot spell is at last
broken, and the rains have come in
abundance. The extremes of heat
and cold during the year have been
greater than ever before recorded.
It seems that Nature must have an
extremely hot summer to follow an
extremely cold winter in order to
maintain an average yearly tempera
ture and Keep herself properly bal
anced. The rains are not too late to
do any good, as some croakers will
say. They have come in good time
for the late corn, and the greater
part of the corn crop ,n this section is
late. They will also make the pea
crop, benefit potatoes, give a chance
for turnips, produce a fine hay crop
and in fact benefit everything but
cotton, which, from u broad stand
point, we can afford to have blighted.
The country is in pretty fair condi
tion after all.
Colonel Neal, ex-superintendent of
the penitentiary, was arrested last
Monday on a warrant charging him
with failing to turn over the funds
belonging to the penitentiary, to his
successor, within thirty days, as re
quired by law. He gives bail, of
course, and will sutler little or no
inconvenience. The maximum pen
alty for the offence charged is $1,000
fine and a few month’s imprisonment.
When a little clerk in a store fails
to turn over to his employer an
amount exceeding twenty dollars, he
can be indicted and sent to the peni
tentiary for embezzlement and ho is
branded k both by law and public opin
ion as a thief. Rut when a big state
officer squanders $11,(MX) of the
State’s money, all the learning of
the attorney general’s office can
make nothing out of it but "a fail
ure to turn over to his successor.”
There is something radically wrong
somewhere.

There is no business under the sun
that can not be bettered and broad
ened by judicious advertising. The
whole trouble with new advertisers is
that they rush into print with no
outlined policy, no plan or aim.
Their copy is prepared at the last
moment, just to fill the space; it
isn’t convincing, very seldom contains
good and sufficient reason for the
buyer’s making a purchase, and
altogether has a hit-and-miss style to
it that makes it a perfect gamble.
Money thus spent is, nine times out
of ten, simply wasted, while another
advertiser who uses the same medium,
but gives some thought to his copy
and plans, reaps a harvest that repays
all his trouble.

The public learns with regret of
the death of 8amue! A. Goodman,
which occurred Saturday night last,
at 11:25. Tno remains wore in
terred in this city fhfl following af
ternoon in the presence of a con
course of friends and relatives.
He was horn in South Carolina in
ISfffi, and at his death was (iff years
old. He came to Smith county with
his father, Dr. Samuel A. Goodman,
who is still living, being a resident of
Tyler and nearly tM years old.
Samutl Goodman obtained license
in 1 S5f> to practice law, hut on ac
count of ill health ho moved on a
farm and remained there up to his
death, except the time ho spent us a
soldier in the Confederate army.
He leaves a wife, three sons and
two daughters, all of them now liv
ing in this city and county. Ho was
the only brother of Dr. Win. J. Good
man of this city. His death removes
from our midst one of its oldest and
most useful citizens and a gentle
man of wide influence and a man
highly esteemed by all.
He was a member of one of the
best families that ever lived in our
midst, and all of the citizens of
the county, and this city, deeply
sympathize with the wife, sons and
daughters, father and brother, in the
loss of this pure Christian man.
Fence to his ashes.

(Correspondence of The I.edgor )
Wkhstkk, S. (!., Aug. 211.—Mr. Edi
tor:—The dry weather which has pre
vailed here for twenty-six days has
terminated. What the result will he,
remains to he seen. ^ We know not
what tho end will he ns pertaining to
the maturity of crops. “God moves
in a mysterious way.” The greater
part of the early ejprn crop is a failure.
Early cotton has matured, but
there is yet ample season to be
counter-balanced by the lute plant
ing.
During the continued dry weather
cotton in this community began to
open thick and fast. In fields hero
and there, as appears, one-third of
the crop is ready for picking. The
end may prove to be a great deal bet
ter than present expectation.
One Roland Tate, colored, is in
trouble here charged with changing
the initials on a road tax receipt.
Not education but the want of it
which often makes the “way of the
transgressor hard.”
Mrs. Rebecca Littlejohn is tci build
a bouse on her plantation near Web
ster. A well of good water has al
ready been found and on any day
the ground may he broken for tho
cottage.
Fire was very acceptable on Tues
day morning as tho wind and rain
came Eteadily from the Northeast.
Mr. Claude Tate has recently as
sumed control of conveying the
mail on this route. While Claude
brings the mail and Mr. Henry Tate
delivers it, tho only inconvenience
attached is by the way it is senl here
from Jonesville.
Never lias there been more activity
among farmers during tho “laying
hy” time as this season inculcates.
The discouraging outlook of crops
accelerates tho activity which is
another evidence that, “It is an ill
wind which blows no one any good.”
Mr. I). Littlejohn passed Webster
one day lust week with a new eight
horse engine. In a few years hence
each plantation will gin its own cot
ton ami every town of five hundred
inhabitants will own a cotton mill.
The next General Assembly would
do commendable legislation by en
acting a compulsory educational
law. A majority of people, by action,
think that all the blessings of a
public school come consolidated in a
nut shell. A sad mistake.

Tomorrow’s expression of the voice
of the people will decide the question
of light or darkness, water or no
water, for a large number of our
citizens. It, is tho desire of the
Town Council amt Roard of Fubilc
Works to benefit as many citizens of
the town us possible, and we earnestly
hope that personal feeNng and preju
dice against any person or company
may bo laid aside, and that every citi
zen voter will go to the polls and east
his huilot in favor of an increase of
bonds for the purpose as set forth in
the petition. It does not increase
tuxes more than is being collected
now, and certainly will be of great
benefit and protection to a large num
ber of deserving citizens of the town.
We have no axe lo grind in this
matter, nor do wo expect to reap any
profit directly or indirectly from the
measure, but simply want to do us
much good for us many people as is
possible with the amount asked for
in the petition, and to aid others to
get the benefit of light and water
that we and others more fotrunutcly
situated have already. Don’t let
us take a step backward tor
some imagined grievance, life is too
short to fritter away, in trying to
spite someone by being obstinate and
revengeful, especially at a cost to so
many who would possibly be wrong
fully deprived of the benefits sought
by your failing to lay aside your own
petty grievance, and voting with
your fellow men for progress and for
what is best for the largest number
of people, forget self and look to the
helping of your friends and neigh
bors and I am confident that you
will feel better to know that you
live for something bettor than to
consider your personal feelings above
all else. Truly we would have a
deplorable state of affairs if every
one was wholly for self, and I am of
the opinion that such a one would
soon have nothing but self. Tho ulti
mate result of a eause is clearly
evident. Citizicn Ki.iik.

demonstrates its superiority over other
blood remedies. It matters not how ob
stinate the case, nor what other treat
ment or remedies have failed, 8. S. 8.
always promptly reaches and cures any
disease w here the blood is in any way involved.
Everyone who has had experience with
blood diseases knows that there are no ail

to cure such real, deep-seated blood diseases as 8. 8. 8. cures, and none can
offer such incontrovertible evidenceof merit. 8 8. S. is not merely a tonip it
is a cure! Itgoesdovvn to the very seat of all blood diseases, and gets at the
foundation of tho very worst cases, and routs the poison from the system. 11 does

only to break forth again more violently than ever; 8. 8. 8. forces out every
trace of taint, and rids the system of it forever. 1
Mrs. i \\. Lee, Montgomery, A hi., writes: “Some years

my babe with blood taint. I was covered with sores and
ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed
to die. Several prominent physicians treated me, but all
to no purpose. The mercury and potash which they
gave me seemed to add fuel to the awful flame which was
devouring me, I was advised by friends who had seen
