The State Hoard of Control has or dered ijillfi.OOO more of dispensary profits to be turned over to the free school fund. It is thus we outwit the Devil by becoming pensioners of his Satanic majesty’s philanthropy. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The trustees of Winthrop Normal College will ask the next Legislature for an extra appropriation of (KK) for the erection of additional dor mitories for the college. We shall have something to say about this modest—not to|say cheeky—request, at the proper time, if we be alive and in normal health and spirits. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The yellow fever plague is slowly spreading in extreme Southern sea port towns. At Key West up to last Wednesday, there had been forty cases and five deaths. There is little danger that the disease will spread over the country, but business in exposed districts will be greatly ob structed by the necessary enforce ment of stringent nuurantiuc laws. Attorney General Bellinger has notified the bondsmen of ex-Superin- tendent Neil that they must at once pay up his shortage or ho will enter suit. The Attorney General also asks whether Tillman, Evans, and others have paid up their bills and announces that, in case they have not, he will begin suit for collection. General Bellinger will do his duty. He has the stuff in his make-up of which men are made. The troubles of Groat Britain in the Transvaal are verging to a cli max and war appears imminent. England has ordered three more brigades to proceed to Cape Colony, while the Boers though procrastinat ing in regard to their reply to the ultimation of England, are making active preparations for war. J’resi- dent Kruger had better yield as gracefully as possible and say to his powerful foe. “come and take what you want and leave me the rest.’’ There is no use of kicking against the pricks. The death of Dr. W. M. Grier, president of Erskine College, is a loss which will be felt in every township of every county of this state and in many parts of other states, lie was a man among men—broad-minded, high-toned, with definite opinions and decided convictions and never Jacking in the courage to express them whenever in his judgment ex pression was demanded. We had but a slight personal acquaintance with him, but we admired his tower ing manhood and loved him for his gentle Christian virtues. It is to bo regretted that owing to the wording of the order for the elec tion on the further issue of bonds for t he electric lights and waterworks, it is thought that some legal techni cality might arise to hamper the placing of bonds. Under the circum stances our town authorities have thought it best to order another elec tion, and in so doing, we think they have acted wisely. The town has already voted the bonds and it will do it again. The only causes for re gret are the delay to the laying of the pipes and the trouble to our citi zens of attending another election. But it is better to go slow than to go wrong. The Dreyfus trial is still progress- ing with varied fortunes and the whole world is watching it with in tense interest. Sometimes the tide is in the prisoner’s favor; at others, it sets in against him. The judges are all prejudiced against him, and it is thought that they can hardly declare him not guilty, while *.ho prisoner is sustained by a large part of the best sentiment of France, which it may be dangerous to ignore. The trial of Louis XVI probably did not excite more interest in the nation, and was not attended with more fearful consequences, than may follow from the trial of this ob scure officer in the French army. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Wheat growing in the South is re ceiving more attention than ever be fore. The conventions that have been in South Carolina and Georgia have greatly stimulated uu interest in the subject, and wide-awake farm ers are going to turn their attention largely to wheat. Already in Char leston bakers are advertising that they will use no other than home made Hour, and other towns and cities will soon follow suit. New’ roller mills will he erected and wo shall no longer he compelled to oat our peck of dirt with every barrel of Hour. We hail the whole movement as a long stride towards comfort, prosperity and inlopendence. Let Cherokee farmers take , due notice hereof and govern themselves ac cordingly. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Governor McSweeny. on the re ceipt of a telegram from Magistrate Weathersbee, of Norway, Orange burg county, to the effect that*a lynching bee was on the move, and that he, the magistrate, was too sick to take an active hand against it, telegraphed the sheriff of Orange burg to repair immediately to the scene and prevent the lynching at ail hazards.’ That sounds big and brave, but it is “only sound and fury, signifying nothing.” It ap pears that the magistrate made an innocent mistake in getting sick and the Governor and the valiant sheriff had only a little harmless practice in lynching gymnastics. As a general thing lynching bees don’t give throe days notice of when and whore they are going to alight. They come down quickly and suddenly and the “hazards” are all oneway. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We have never before known such a time of push and strain as is now prevailing in this part of the coun try, and indeed over a great part of the South. The demand for labor and material of all kinds is greater than the supply; every thing made of wood, iron, or glass is continually going up in price and in many cases cannot he had on time at any price, while carpenters, bricklayers, and common laborers are wanted all around in numbers that frequently are not available. Every man in this part of the country who is able and willing to work, can get work to do at remunerative prices, and there is no excuse for idleness anywhere. The whole South is building more rapidly and effectively than any other country on earth ever built. Her star of empire has risen and is cheering her pathway with the bright rays of hope and promise. Under the guidance of its steady light she is inarching to power and domin ion, and, we trust, to happiness. Thai Clicrokt'f MitKiNlrury. Bi.AcKsiinm, Sept., <i.—Kditok Lkucikk:—Please allow me space to inform our friend “W,” of this place, that I have no less authority than the Attorney General and Governor of the State that the magistrate of this township vacated his olllco last March when he accepted the office of Town Clerk, and I have also been recently informed that lie has been reappointed by the Governor through the recommendation of our honor able Senator, which is proof positive that the office was vacant, because if it had not been where would have been the necessity of the Governor re appointing and recommissioning Mr. A. M. Bridges. The people were not consulted about the matter, either, nor were other gentlemen, who might have had aspirations to have “Esq.,” attached to their names, given any consideration. Possibly there might he men here who would have ac cepted the office if it had been ten dered them, but wou’1 never have dared to come out before the people and ask for it through a primary, which is by no means unconstitu tional. Now if I am mistaken will our friend “W,” who prefers to keep his identity concealed, assume to correct me again. W. 1\ Tolbkkt. TIioiii|)Hi>ii’« Mill Ncuh.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. < The Scene of Ills Chllilhooil llrings Many Sad Memories us Well as I’leasanl Iteeol- leetlons of Hays (join* My.--Personals anil l.ocalrfT (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta J a nk, Sept. . r >.—In giving an account of our Chester trip last week we loft off at Blackstockd, whither wo had gone to attend a meeting utjfhe Bresbyterian church. As wo ap proached the church that morning the congregation were singing that most beautiful and soul stirring hymn: “Rocli of ages cleft forme, let me hide myself in Thee,” etc. This melodious song from a score of well trained voices, led by that most efficient instructor, Mr. James Blaine, mingled with tiie sound of the organ under the skillful touch of Miss Blaine, his accomplished daughter, added solemnity to the oc casion and filled our heart with a feeling of joy which is more readily imagined than described. We had reasons for feeling that to us this was no common occasion, it was the scene of our childhood, and around us clustered many sad memo ries as well as pleasant recollections of da} s gone by. It was our first visit to Black- stocks since the war. A town had grown up around us. Blackstooks was in the wake of Sherman’s army which Col. Leroy F. Youmuns lias properly denominated as the van dals of the Iffth century.” What a contrast between this and the last Sabbath we had spent in that town. Then nothing scarcely could be heard save the tramp and shouts of soldiers rushing to the front to repel an invading army while almost every train brought evidences of a murderous battle hav ing been fought somewhere—other wives made widows, other children fatherless and other homes desolate. From miles around come men and women to see and hear how tho bat tle was going, and many sad partings between father and son husband and wife, or sister and brother wero wit nessed, and relentless war claimed all as its victims. Today we find a model little city tilled with churches, school houses and other evidences of thrift, besides houses blessed with all the comforts of life, and tho house of God crowded with devout worship pers. That afternoon wo attended the meeting at Cornwell’s where Rev. John A. White, of tho A. R. 1*. church, preached. A largo congre- tion was present ; some of whom we had never seen before. At Corn well’s there is no church building. A large commodious school house serves the purpose of a church and various ministers preach there at different times. We met many there whom we had not seen and many were tho invitations to extend the time of our visit and stay at least a week longer. All of which wo prop erly appreciated. We spent the night with Ex-Representative »S. ’1'. McKown, where we received all the courtisies and kindnesses Ihut could be bestowed upon us. Next morning (Monday) in company with Messrs. Washington McKown and W. T. Mc Kown we visited our old home—the spot where we lirst saw tho light. Hallowed memories cluster around this sacred place. The house is gone and the spring is in the midst of a fish pond. The shape of the land is all that looked natural to us. The best upland corn wc have seen this year is there. Turning our course we started for home, calling at the lute home of Cupt. William McAbilley % who hud just died. We gave his widow and family assurance of our hcartfeft sympathy in their hour of great sor row and bereavement. We came on through Chester and soon found our self at Mr. Joe Estes’, near Capers, chapel, where we staid all night. Joe is one of the best young farmers in Chester county. He has worked his way through life and is now well situated, sending his children to a good school and takes great pride (as every other parent, worthy of the name does) in seeing ins children made useful. That night wo hud a good rain and next morning the clouds threatened rain but against his protest and that of his good wife we struck out for home, where we ar rived about the middle of that after noon. This ended our trip. Last Sabbath 3rd inst., we at tended meeting at Smyrna, Rev. J. I*. Knox, of Columbia,‘preached. A very large congregation was present to hour him. Mr. Knox is a great favorite with the people of Western York and especially those of Hickory Grove and Smyrna congregations, whom he has so faithfully and ac ceptably served as minister for eight years. Mr. Willie Foster is quite sick. He has fever. Miss Mamie Comer is also very unwell. There are several other cases of sickness reported in this community —none, however, serious that we know of. Tho Jute rains have given farmers a good opportunity to sow turnip seed. I'rof. W. F. McArthur, Superin tendent of Education, paid this sec tion an official visit some days ago. People are picking out cotton. Most of the post oak lands is opened. The crop will be short. Mrs. John McDaniel died at her home near Smith’s Ford, in York county, (last Sabbath. Commander G. Wash McKown. has called a meeting of Camp Jefferies U. 0. Veterans at Wllkinsvllle next Saturday ffth inst., at 10 a. m., for the purpose of electing a township pension board and transacting such other business us may come before it. The veterans should attend these meetings. At the reunion in Chea ter a resolution was adopted ap pointing a commitLk* of twelve to draft a pension bill iV be submitted to the next legislature. The object of tills bill will bo to retnovo as far as possible the objectionabjo features of the present law. This committee will bo governed largely by the re commendations of the various camps of U. C. Veterans throughout the State who are requested to aid in the work of bringing about an equitable law under which the pension money will be distributed. That a revision of the list of pensioners will be made there can be no doubt. And who it will effect most depends upon the recommendation made tho committee entrusted with framing tho bill. Other features will doubtless be to prorate the money among the various counties according to the number of bona fide survivors and widows, and to simplify the machinery by which tho present system works—Proof of the applicants—claim will ho left largely, if not, entirely, with his camp. Mrs. “J. L. 8.” has tested her sweet potatoes and they are very tine. Messrs. Charles Bolt and James H. Bartles and Master ,.las. Barties, of Union, passed here today on a visit to friends in Cherokee and York counties. j. l. s. THE RACE QUESTION. .\ Colon-il ('ll l/i‘ii IHh<-iia*(*m It in :in IntHH- K«*iit .Maiincr. (Correspondence ot Toe Ledger.) Wehstkk, 8. C., aopt. 4.—As the occurrences are numerated, race troubles and riots are increasing in the South. They will, unless ob structed, assume such proportion as again attract a close attention of the general government similar, to the days of reconstruction. There have been many ideas advanced and plans outlined which if acted upon, as stated by the originators, would in a great measure eraee tiiese troubles and institute a source from which good feeling would ever exist be tween the races. Among the reme dies offered may bo mentioned, emi gration, industrial education, legisla tion, special courts, strict judges and impartial jurors. Separately or col lectively these have proven to be inadequate to the demand. In u re cent editorial in The Ledger a very forcible argument is briefly given which we do not have on record, the application and result. \Ve don’t believe that a party of white men could he found in this state who would lynch a negro run down and arrested by men of his color and de livered to the officers of the Jaw to he punished for his crime. There is a great deal said of lynch ing pro and con, but we have not been informed of a colored man being lynched under those conditions. Though the information has been limited. Tho crime is committed the criminal flees from justice. \\ here does he find shelter'/ Cer tainly not among white people, hut among friends of our race, trying to evade tho clutches of the Jaw, and a punishment which may be truly de served, arrested, tried, convicted and punished by those termed as enemies to the race, which is a wide mistake. We admit that the safety, happi ness and prosperity of the race de pend on the attitude of the dominant race. These would bo more assured if proper assistance were rendered by the better element of the colored race. The time has not arrived for the colored people to aspire to much of a share in tho political pie. Edu cation, forming character and refine ment, economizing, cultivating truth, honesty, industry and thrift. Were those matters proper.y guarded, the leaders of the race would have their hands full for several years to come. This is a tendency which must he assumed before these race troubles will abate. The colored man’s field of labor is not limited by tho other race the extent that there cannot be found ample and profitable employ ment for those competent to lead. No one can truthfully deny the state ment. When this class turn a deaf ear to race prejudice and properly take up the tendency to banish crime in alt its forms by rallying to the front, insisting on the guilty to he punished, then the day will break when these disturbances will he fewer in number and farther between. That the strictly law abiding honest element of our race has friends among tho other race, there is no doubt. Then it is our duty to culti vate the friendship in ali ways that are manly and Godlike and watch the result. Suppose we try it. c. c.
