NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is rumored that Mayor Calvert, of Spartanburg, has a congressional bee buzzing in his bonnet, and that lie will be a candidate for Stanyarn Wilson’s seat. When asked about the rumor by a Spartanburg Herald reporter Mr. Calvert neither con fessed nor denied it, merely replying that he had nothing to say at this time. When a politician has noth ing to say you had better let him alone. His silence is like that omni- ous stillness which sometimes pre- ceds a battle or a cyclone. ♦ ♦ ♦♦ The “beer privilege” is giving trouble in some quarters, and the State board of control at its last meeting decided to abolish it on the first of November, and handle beer thereafter in the dispensary proper. Now some of the members of the board are in favor of reconsidering the action of the last meeting, and of letting the much appreciated privi lege remain a privilege. What we shall drink, how, where, and when we shall drink it, and who shall serve it. are all absorbing questions of ad vanced political and moral reform. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Dreyfus has not yet passed into oblivion. The world’s sense of jus tice will not down at the bidding of a packed military court, nor tamely submit to a llagrant wrong. Ameri ca and Germany are talking of boy cotting the great 1’aris exposition, and that is an argument which will probably do more towards clearing up French ideas of justice than all the moral homilies that could be written or preached. In the mean time it is asserted that the health of of Dreyfus is rapidly failing, and his physician declares that he can live but a few weeks or months longer. We dislike to see this silly prattle in some papers in whicli they say “this is the people’s paper,” and “this paper is published in the in the interest of the people alone.” It’s all bosh. There is not a word of trutli in it. This paper belongs to its proprietors. It is run for the benefit of the lessee and manager, and if it did not pay him to run it he would quit. We endeavor to give the value of the money paid for it. it is purely a business venture and any one who is not satisfied with the investment is respectfully requested to discontinue its visits to their home. Un the other hand those who have not tried it will do well to in vest a dollar in it and see how much they will get for the money. There is no other investment that will pay ft bigger dividend. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Charleston militia which was to go to New York to take part in the great demonstration in honor of Dewey’s return are about to decline on account of the expenses of the trip, railroad tickets being fixed at $10.92 for each man. It looks like the railroads might have made it even money and called the cents 90 instead of 92. If they are trying to drive a sharp bargain like a mer chant they are making a bungling job of it. A merchant would have put it at $10.99, and customers would have bitten much more readily than they would at $16.92. How ever, the roads are right in maintain ing pretty still rates, and the militia will act sensibly if it decline to pay. The trutli is, South Carolina militia has no business there and will do a foolish thing if it go. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Cornelius Vanderbilt, head of the Vanderbilt family, died suddenly at his residence in New York last Tues day morning. Death had no more regard for him than for any other mortal, and struck him down with as little ceremony or delay as he would the humblest beggar on the streets. '1 ho untold millions in the Vanderbilt coffer could not bullle a common disease, nor purchase an hour nor a minute of respite. We do not mean to taunt the name of Van derbilt nor to show any disrespect to the memory of the dead. We know nothing of Mr. Vanderbilt’s private character. He may have been a kind-hearted, sensible, noble man. If so ho was neither the worse nor the better for being wealthy. How ever it may have been, he is now on a level with the rest of mankind. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Captain I.. D. Childs, the great prohibition leader of South Carolina, is dead. He died suddenly at Salu da, N. C., last Tuesday evening, where lie had been spending the sum mer with his family. He was an up right, high toned, Christian man, a successful man of business, a strong factor in politics, and an uncompro mising advocate of all measures that had for their object the promotion of the highest good of the state and the happiness of the people. It was, however, to the cause of prohibition that he gave the best thought and the best energies of his life. He was the father of all the prohibition bills that have been before the legislature in recent times, and he worked for the cause with a zeal and devotion which knew no abatement. His death is a distinct loss to the whole state. His aims were pure and high, and he had the courage to pursue them regardless alike of popular ap plause or condemnation. An Kthlor’s \|>|M'lil. tKxelmiijri'.l A Mississippi editor makes ibis ap peal to delinquent subscribers: “Kish down into your pocket and dig up the dust; the editor is hungry and the paper ‘bout to bust. We’ve trusted you for several months and did it with a smile, so just return the compliment and trust us for awhile. Our wife she needs some stockings and baby needs a dress ; Jimmy needs some breeches, and so do Kate and Hess. Hud is on the pig (rain and Peggy sick with grief, and good gosh almighty, can’t you give a man re- liefi' Shell out those nickels and turn loose the dimes; turn ’em loose , and whistle, and we’ll have better i times; there will be fewer patches on | the bosom of our pants, and we’d | make the paper better if we had half | a chance. Don’t give us that old ! story, long since gone to seed, ’bout t taking more family papers than the family want to read; but help to feed the printer, and he’ll help the town ! to grow, and thus escape the sulphur | in the regions down below.” Tin' |{i'<|ui'Ml Oinnot Be AHMHlIed. [Ciiluintiia Hfcord.) The Gaffney Ledger notes the in- I tention of the Winthmp trustees to j ask an appropriation of $95,000 for an additional dormitory and says: | “Wo shall have something to say I choekly—request, at the proper time, if we bo alive and in normal health 1 and spirits.” The Record fails to | see anything “cheeky” about that re quest. It is a simple, practical, sen- | sible business proposition and can not be reasonably assailed. Knless i The Ledger favors abolishing Win- j throp College altogether, The Re cord fails to see on what ground it can base its opposition to the ap propriation. Hundreds of girls are each year refused admission to Win- throp because of insufficient accom modations there. A new dormitory will enable Winthrop to educate t wice as many girls at no additional expense to the State, and twice as many girls wish a Winthrop educa tion.” riant AVInut. | r,\< , li:in^v.! A farmer writing to the Macon Telegraph telis how any farmer can make wheat enough for home con sumption, and why he should make it. He says: “An ordinary farmer can spare two acres of land; let him take this land, turn it well with a plough in September, and about three or four weeks later put ten bushels of cotton seed broadcast, also broadcast two hundred pounds of phosphate, sow his wheat crop on this land with a turning plough shal low, all ploughing to be well done, insuring the ground to be well broken. This will make about fif teen bushels of wheat per acre. Two acres tried in this way will furnish about six barrels of flour at a cost of about five dollars. To buy this Hour in the market would cost about thirty dollars. Mr*. Hr)Hun Miilllinix Di-itd. [C'levi'luiid Star.] Mrs. Sarah Mullihax, the aged widow of Hroson Mullinax, died at her home near Grover Sept. 7, 1899, after confinement to her bed for a number of years. She was only se riously ill for some ten or eleven hours. Her death resulted from old ago and dropsy. Siie was a consist ent member of the M. E. church south, fom her youth, and was an af fectionate wife, mother and grand mother. She was born May 91, iNl9. Her remains were interred at Antioch cemetery, Cherokee county, S. C., .Sept. <Sth. Mr. Hull CirouN Surra*tic, IKock Mill lleralcl.l The announcement of the Gaffney Ledger must make every friend of Winthrop tremble in his boots! People whose stock in trade is pre judice only have on several occasions before taken shots at Winthrop with their little squirt guns, but the great institution lias lived and nourished only to pity the 'Pygmies as they crawled down from the alps upon which they had perched.

A CORRECTED ACCOUNT. The Mil noting of Will I’riee hy Walker Meek* at Hlaekxhurg. In our last issue wo gave an ac count of the killing of a negro, Will Price, by another negro, Walker Meeks, at Hlacksburg, last Sunday. | It now appears that there were some i inaccuracies in that report. From a reliable source we learn I that Meeks, immediately after the i shooting, did not run ten miles in the j direction of Yorkville, but went to a spring on John Whisonants place, about a mile and a half from town, where, after resting a short while, he concluded to return to Hlacksburg and surrender. He went straight to the city hall and as there was no one there to lock him up, he sat on the steps and waited about three quar ters of an hour for the officers to come, during which time he ex plained to the crowd that had gath ered around him how the difficulty lind occurred. He Jsaid that Price, himself and several other negroes were gambling on the railroad. That he won sev enty-five cents and Price took it. He asked Price to return it, but lie would not. Words followed and Price made a pass at him with a razor, whereupon he (.Meeks) drew his pistol and fired. Among those that reached the body of Price immediately after the shooting, was a white man, who found a razor, which it now appears, was Price’s There was but one witness ex amined by the Coroner’s jury’Sunday night—a negro by the same of Dave Alexander—who was in the crowd at the time of the shooting. Although an eye witness to the occurrunce, and although ho testified strongly for the state, his character, and the way he gave his testimony was such as not to satisfy the jury, and the hearing was continued until Monday. That morning there were three ne groes. all of whom, with the excep tion of one, were in the crowd, and well known to the authorities, as bad characters, their names appear ing frequently in the court records for different offences. We make this statement in order to keep the records straight. TO CO TO CHINA. Krv, uml .Mr*. W. K. frorkcr Will Do .Mi*- sloimry Work. All Cherokee Baptist, and es pecially members of the Broad River Association, will be interested in the following correspondence which ap peared in the Baptist Courier of yes terday : “Many who read The Courier will bo glad to hear that South Carolina is soon to have another representa tive on the foreign field. Only a few weeks ago it was announced that Rev. W. E. Crocker had married one of Carolina’s fair daughters. Last Tuesday, September 5th, they were both appointed to the work in Chinkiang, China. Brother Crocker speaks Mandarin and can go to work immediately on his arrival. He worked for four years with our Gos pel Mission brethren. Mrs. Crocker was raised in South Carolina, and the sisters of the State ought to see to it that the funds ($900) needed for her outfit and passage be raised at once. There are men and women in the State who will gladly give five or ten dollars each for this purpose if the cause is presented to them. Let our sisters give and talk about this to others. We will need the funds in the next few weeks.” The South Carolina Baptist should raise at once the necessary funds to defray the expenses of Mr. and Mrs. Crocker, and the Broad River Asso ciation should take the initiative and push the matter along. I'lllVfll I'lllllt*. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Powell, Aug. 11th—Rev. J. M. Bridges filled his appointment at Macedonia Saturday and Sunday. Fodder pulling is about finished for this season. Potatoes and turnips are doing well since the recent rains. J. L. Clary is making sorghum, and to see the grade lie is turning out is positive proof that he knows his business. Notwithstanding the cry of hard times R. A. Smith, Wellington Hum phries and Margaret Fowler are building good dwelling houses, and R. B. Powell is building a new store house. The public school at Macedonia closes to-day. J. L. Clary and J. Gardner went to Spartanburg Friday on business. T. G. McCraw, Gaffney, was here on business last week. R. IL Powell went to Cowpcns Sat urday on business. J. L. Clary went to Gaffney yester day on business. Ananias Gardner, of Bessemer City, N. C., visited relatives and friends hero recently. W. L. Gardner, of Martinsville, visited relatives here Sunday. COKNCK ACKEK. Tin* Knot of All Ktll. Mb. Editok:—The almighty dollar is the upper tiling now with men, I fear, judging by their actions. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” The love of money is the root of all evil, so says the Scriptures. Is it true with this generation? I fear it is. Oh, what a volume could be written on this subject. My fellow- countrymen why are you led away so? We are admonished to seek first the kingdom of God and lift right eousness. Then what? Bead your bihle ami see. It is pull Dick and pull Devil to see who can get rich first. And when you get there what is it? Vex ation of spirit, so says Solomon. The Scripture says, “He that gotteth riches not hy right hIihII leave them In the midst of his days, and at his end be a fool.” It is u fearful tiling to bo rich, in my estimation. Where then* is much given there is much required. Bead James, fitli chapter, and Muluchi, 99 chapter. My motto is, “To live while you are living.” Enjoy life. So says a man seventy years old. w, it. L. Tli<* (’ockntoo'n Nutcracker Hill. There Is a wonderful cockatoo in one of the Islands of the Indian ocean, near New Guinea. It is as large as a full grown pheasant, and it is of a Jet blacli color. The bird Is remarkable for Its immensely strong hill and the clever manner in which it is used. The hill is as hard as steel, and the upper part lias a deep notch. Now, the favorite food of this cocka too is the canary nut; but there is won derful ingenuity required to get at it, for the nut ^s something like a Brazil nut, but it Is ten times as hard. In fact, it requires the blow of a heavy hummer to crack It. It is quite smooth ami somewhat triangular in shape. Nature appears to have given the possessor of the wonderful hill some Intelligence to direct its powers, for the cockatoo takes one of the nuts edgewise in its bill and by a carving motion of its sharp lower beak makes a small notch on it. This done, the third takes hold of (lie nut with Its claws, and, biting off a piece of leaf, retains it in the deep notch of the up per part of the bill. Then the nut is seized between the tipper and lower parts of the bill and is prevented slip ping by the peculiar texture of the leaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off a tiny piece of the shell of the nut. The bird then seizes the nut in Its claws and pokes the long sharp point of its bill into the hole and picks out the kernel bit by bit.—Savannah News. Fearful Torture*. For many years 1 was a teacher in Afghanistan, and during my stay in that country I was often an unwilling witness of some horrible exhibitions of torture. Here is one they use in the ease of women to extract testimony. It consists in prying off the finger nails by means of a small chisel or bradawl, which is shoved In slowly but firmly from the linger tip down ward under the quick of the nail, which is then lifted up and out. This is another that I once saw used In llie case of a small child who would not own up to some petty theft: Sticks were thrust between its fingers ami the fingers then squeezed together, so that Hie sticks crushed Into the bones. So much for women and children. II ore is a method of eliciting informa tion from an unwilling man: The cul prit is stripped to (lie waist, and then boiling oil Is flicked on to ids back. This seldom fails to find the man’s tongue. The above are the chief forms of “fahaua,” or torture, for the purpose of eliciting Information, but it must be stated that such iufiictious as nipping of noses, tearing out tongues or splitting eyeballs do not come under the heading of “faliana,” they being punishments rather than tortures.— Loudon Standard. StftKircrctl TIi••in. There's no art to tell how many lan guages a tongue can speak hy looking its owner in the face. An American woman was met recently in a narrow hallway of the American embassy by four young attaches of foreign lega tions. They stepped aside to let her pass ami, thinking she did not under stand French, made a few audible ob servations. “Look at her yellow dress. It's very pretty,” said No. 1. “Yes, but she has on white gloves,” answered No. 2. “She lias good teeth,” said No. 9. “And an enormous mouth,” added No. 4. “And she understands French per fectly,” said the owner of the enor mous mouth, turning suddenly upon them, “and would like to say that her ears are even bigger than her mouth." This in French and with such an air of giving personal information to nobody In particular that It was quite ns if she had been kindly helping strangers to information out of a guide book. I do not think 1 have ever seen four llmper looking young men. They had Just enough presence of mind to lieu the premises.—St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. A Nice Little Elopement. “There’s a rather funny circum stance connected with the elopement here last week,” remarked the lo quacious landlord of the tavern in a remote Sussex village, says an English paper, addressing a cyclist who had stopped for refreshment. “A young man who hadn’t known her so very long ran away with the squire’s daughter, and a day or two later the old gentleman sent tills mes sage by letter to his new son in law: “ ‘All is forgiven. Come home.’ “To this the young fellow tele graphed the reply: “ ‘All won’t be forgiven until I have kicked you well for letting me elope witli your daughter. You'd better not be at home when 1 come, that’s all!’ ” Wifely Co un Id eml loti. “I’ve decided not to get that new dress we talked of,” announced the lit tle wife, whose hushniid has a big hank account and makes large deposits every week. “But 1 wnut it, dearie, Just as much as you do. Go ahead and order it.” “No. I appreciate your kindness, hut I’m not the one to be extravagant when economy is demanded. 1 saw your bankbook this morning, and we are drawing out money u dozen times where you deposit once. I’ll wait till text j ear.”—Detroit Free Dress. Warned. “Did I understand you to say some thin about teachin the young idea how to shoot?” asked a Clay county (Ky.) citizen. “Yea,” answered the man who is In terested In the work of education. “Well, so fur ns this part of the coun try is concerned you’re workin on the wrong line. Wliut you want to do Is to watch the hoys at recess and Inin the fust one that brings a gun to school with him.”—Washington Alar.

CI1KNEY A CO., Toledo, o Sold by liruuifost*, ?ftc Mi MR. SMIT4H IN NEW YORK. He Speaks t p for the Mivterlal I’rosperHy of CufTuey. Alderman W. IL Smith r< turned from a business trip to New York City several days ago. Mr. Smith always becomes enthusiastic when j talking about the progress and pros- , pects of Gaffney. While in New , ’torkCity a New York Commercial reporter got hold of Mr. Smith and i secured tho interview which follows: “Win. II. Smith, representing the Smith Hardware Co., of Gaffney. S. C., is in town buying for his firm. He is quite enthusiastic over tho pos sibilities of tho business development of ids section. He said : “ ‘Wo are the county seat of Cher okee county. Before the war we were the seat of a considerable iron industry. Tho old Cherokee Iron Works at Gaffney had four stacks, am} made a good grade of charcoal iron from tho ores in the neighbor hood. ‘The ore is a good red hematite, lit for the Bessemer process. Lately a company bought tho deposits of slug and cinder, ami is now shipping it out in great quantities to Greens boro, N. C. These works at Gaffney made munitions of war for the South ern army during the civil war. They were finally abandoned in LSOS. ‘We have one of the largest cot ton mills in tho South at Gaffney, running, I think, 200,000 spindles. The Gaffney Carpet Mill, the only one in the Crdted States south of Baltimore, is a success, selling its goods all over the Fnited States. The ground for lids was broken June 1. 1898, and in 90 days the plant was completed. “ ‘The Bacolet Mill, not far from us, is in great shape, its stock h> 'ling for 180. “ Terhaps the most remarkable element of ultimate industrial great ness that we have is the great water power in tho Broad river. At the rapids, which we call the ‘Ninety- nine islands/ near Gaffney, there is a succession of rapids seven miles long, cap this of developing, 1 tldnk, about lO/MH) horse power, or prob ably more. Ours is only a fair sample of many communities in the South, which only need money to develop great things out of them. Coal is near us in the Tennessee and West Virginia fields, as near, about, as the nearest coal tit for manufact uring is to Bldladelplda.’ ” rite Norlli i’acolct s. S. l.'ouvention.
