THE <iItKAT OI KSTION.
The most momentous question be
fore the people of the I nited States
today is that of the trusts. 1 he
question of a protective tarilf is only
tributary, and the question of im
perialism, however it may be settled,
will affect the average individual
American citizen very little either
one way or the other. Hut the trust
“Will cast its shadow into the door
way of every home and tighten its
grip on every man, woman, and child
in the land. It is destined, if not
checked or circumscribed, to estab
lish a plutocracy which will absorb
the substance of the masses and re
duce them to a condition little bet
ter, if any, than that of vassalage or
serfdom. It will be the strongest,
most insatiable and implacable
tyrant that ever reigned, because its
greed knows no limits, it incurs no.
risks, and is never restrained by
fears.
The combined wisdom and patriot
ism of the whole nation will be taxed
to the utmost fur means with which
to deal with this rapidly growing
monster.
The main difliculty lies in the fact
that some trusts are not only bene-
lical, but absolutely necessary to the
development of the country and the
well being of the people. Capital
must combine or the wheels of pro
gress will stand still. Then it has i
an inherent right to combine. -No ;
man lias a right to say to another man
you shall or shall not do this or that
with your money. The situation is
dark and complicated indeed; but we
hope and believe that the conserva
tism and sagacity of the American
people will find some satisfactory
solution of this perplexing question.
DEWEY AM) HIS HOME.
The American people are great
hero worshipers, and if the real hero
do not appear, they will seize upon
any little pretext to manufacture one
and to make fools of themselves.
Just now they have a real hero in
the person of Dewey, and the en
thusiasm runs high. New York will
be crowded with people from all
parts of the nation to do him honor,
and the demonstration that will be
made on his arrival, lias probably
never been equaled on any similar
occasion in the past. In the mean
time the committee to solicit contri
butions for building or purchasing
him a home and for fixing him up
generally for a serene and luxurious
old age, had raised up to the close'of
last week the neat little sum of if:!?,-
000, and expected by the close of
another week $50,000.
Now, we have nothing disparaging
to say about Dewey. He is em
phatically the hero of the war with
Spain. But he does not need any
such muuilieent gifts. His salary is
large, and his share of prize inonej
must be immense. He has the op
portunity now of doing a grander
thing than he did in Manila, and
that is of refusing to accept this gift
from the people. I)y doing this he
will show himself not only a skillful
and daring naval officer, but a man
worthy of praise and admiration.
Our peerless Hampton in poverty
and old age, refused a very small
sum which admiring love offered for
replacing a modest homo destroyed
by lire—an act which raises him to
a height of moral sublimity which
no mere warrior can ever reach.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
■■ ' ■
Spartanburg and Greenville are
just now concerned to know which
is the bigger. The Herald states
facts and figures to prove that f-'par-
tanburg is entitled to the belt, while
the News has data enough to prove
to anybody’s satisfaction that the
magnitude all belongs to Greenville.
\Ye suggest that brethren Garling-
ton ami Williams meet and throw
“cross and piles” for a temporary
settlement of the question, provided
they think there will be room enough
for both towns until the time for tak
ing the census next year,
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Again there lias been a mistrial in
the case of Mrs. Hughes of little
“blue pistol" fame. This is the
third time that she has been before
a Greenville jury on the charge of
murdering her husband, ai.d every
time she has come < ut of the trial
UOSOattered. .She is said to he driving
u nourishing business in on Main
street, and these trials in court do
not even interrupt h" r|huHineMS. The
nroblom before the Greenville juries is
to know what to do with her. The con
soling fact is, that it is not the first
time that men have disagreed over
a pretty woman, and have been at a
loss to know what to do with her.
Let not the Greenville juries bo dis
couraged. The new woman is com
ing and probably she will throw
some light on the perplexing prob
lem.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
There is trouble again at the dis
pensary headquarters. Bookkeeper
Outz lias been suspended by chair
man Miles on the charge of selling
contraband liquor, and it is given out
that others are involved. The course
of the dispensary like the course of
true love, never does run smooth,
and the Columbia State puts it
rightly when it says, there must con
tinue to lie scandals in connection
with the dispensary, “because the
institution itself is essentially scan
dalous in character. Founded on
greed and hypocrisy it attracts the
greedy and hypocritical. Jt offers
constant temptations and constant
opportunities. In the control of
ideal men it might be made—despite
the bad principle upon which it is
founded—a somewhat useful institu
tion. But ideal men are not wanted
in it and would not go into it, if they
were. Corrupt and corrupting, there
is only one cure for the evils, and
that is to kill it.

(Correspondence of The J,edKer.>
Ski’U. Sho.u.8, Sept. 22—I have
been “on the wing" for the past two
.weeks, visiting friends and relatives
in this section. 1 find the farmers
busy picking cotton, consequently
they have no time to “chat" during
the day. I visited the family of my
old friend, the “Sage of Etta Jane"
Tuesday, and found him and his
interesting family, enjoying good
health and spirits.
In all of my travels I am sorry to
see a failure in all kinds of crops—in
cotton there will not be a half crop,
it is not only short in this locality,
but advices from all over the country
report the same. In many localities
in this section the corn crop is also
very short—indeed all along the
Southern railroad from Richmond to
Gaffney it is very poor, hi some
places a perfect failure. I saw a let
ter a few days ago from Mr. Leander
Goudelock, from Mississippi, a
former resident of this section, in
which he says that crops of all kinds
in his section is almost a failure.
The hope is that the increase in
price over last year will make up for
the decrease in quality. With a fail
ure in the cotton crop all over the
country, and the building of so many
new factories for the manufacture of
cotton I don’t see how they will he
able to run during the next year, and
should the factories be stopped it
would produce untold suffering
among the operatives in the fac
tories. But we suggest the old adage,
which is, “never cross the bridge
until you get to it," and hope for the
best. We have had failures in crops
before and have survived it, ami can
do so again. In my day I remember
many failures in crops, and we all
“have lived, breathed and had our
being."
The tobacco crop in Virginia and
North Carolina seems to be very
good so far, and the prospects are
that they will have a good crop.
I am now stopping with the family
of Mr. Jno. I. Kendrick, who occu
pies the old Dr. Loach place, and
who has always been noted for his
good farming, and who has been a
farmer all of his life. He says he
has never known so short a crop in
this section since JS15, and they all
managed to live then, and he lias no
doubt but what we can all pull
through again. All with whom I
have met seem to be cheerful, and
willing to bear their misfortunes the
best they can. I met with one old
farmer who predicted that if we suc
ceeded in getting along this season
that next year we would have abun
dant crops.
I will not attempt to give you any
local news from this section as my
friend “J. L. S." faithfully attends
to that. Un<t,k Jimmy.

Comes from Dr. 1). B. Cargile, of
Washita, I. T. He writes: “Four
bottles of Electric Bitters lias cured
Mrs. Brewer of scrofula, which had
caused her great suffering for years.
Terrible sores would break out on her
face, aud the best doctors could give
no help; blither cure is complete
and her health is execellent." This
shows what thousands have proved.—
that Eletric Bitters is the best blood
purifier known. It’s the supreme
remedy for eczema, tetter, salt rheum,
ulcers, boils and running sores. It

Thy Wild amt W’only West.
(Correspondence of The Bedger.)
Rover, Ar':., Bept. 11.—ff it will
not be out of order I will iry to
scratch a few dots from this part of
the wild and woolly west.
Rover is a country town of some
three or four hundred inhabitants,
situated eight miles south of Dan
ville, the county seat of Yell county,
in the Fourche valley. It lias some
six busines houses, three churches, a
fine school building and Masonic hall,
and the best high school to be found
in any country town in the State.
This school is turning out some very
useful young ladies and gentlemen
as teachers and for other purposes
where a good education is required.
Crops in this county are mostly
short this year. Too much rain in
the spring and then the drouth in
August cut cotton very short Late
corn is a complete failure. I notice
from the Ledger crops are not good
in old South Carolina. I know what
a short crop means in South Caro
lina. I tried drouths and guano in
the old State several years.
The writer hauled goods from Gaff
ney before there was any depot.
The goods were rolled cut on the
ground and a man placed to guar 1
them. There are some very fond
recollections about Gaffney, \Yilkins-
ville and Etta Jane. My wife’s
father, mother, brothers and sisters
live in your city and J have one sis
ter there.
I enjoy J. L. Strain’s communica
tions very much. Having gone to
school to him, away hack in ’71, ’2
and ’ff I have some knowledge of his
firmness. I see lie is still after the
bad hoy’s just as he use to be in the
school room. 1 wonder if he has for
gotten the boy he use to cull Daddy,
the one that brought in the dead
cedar bmh for him to punish some
bad boys with. 1 remember lie wore
it out on me and sent me to get an
other.
I will close by wishing the Led
ger a lonir life and much success. 1
think the twice a week Ledger is
quite an improvement over the
weekly Ledger. Ahkansaw.
