NOTES AND COMMENTS.
If there is anything in Admiral
Dewey’s life and deeds that would
seem to mark him, ns the proper
man for the presidency of the I nited
States, it is the fact that he has
spent his life at sea and is presuma
bly utterly ignorant of politicos and
civil government. And really we are
not sure but that this is a high re
commendation.
The people in Claffney are hardly
aware of how fast their town is grow
ing. Go out any street and you will
find it extended far beyond the limits
of a year ago. Stand on the hill a
mile to the east and cast your eyes
over the scene. You will realize that
you are gazing on a city in fact as
well as in name. New buildings are
going up in all directions, of all
styles and sizes, from the neat little
cottage to the fine church and the
superb mansion.
The price of everything is rising
and cotton must follow suit, to a
great extent without regard to the
size of the crop. It would be un
natural for a commodity of such,
world-wide necessity to remain at
bottom figures, while everything else
of use ’to man and beast is contin
ually appreciating in value. Prices
must recede sooner or later. The
danger is that there will be a tumble
or collapse and that will mean a
panic. However, we trust that such
will not bo the case. Wo believe
that cotton will follow the tide, and
that it will rise higher yet.

The war in the Transvaal hangs
lire, and the latest news is to the ef
fect that England is a little more
pacific. England believes in im
perialism with her whole heart, but
she believes in money, too, and it is
to bo hoped that she is far-sighted
enough to see that a war with the
Boers will cost her more than it will
prolit her, and that when she has
got all the concessions that she can
obtain by bull-dozing, she will take a
sensible view of the situation and
forbear to resort to war. The Boers
will fight her, if nothing else will do
her, and they will have the sympa
thies of the whole world In their
favor.
The State gives over a hundred
thousand dollars a year in furnishing
luxuries to the people. But it turns
out that the luxuries won’t go round.
There are others who would like to
have luxuries besides the favored
ones. Therefore the State will he
asked to give more next year, and
the State will do it. Then, as the
desire for luxuries is naturally an
ever-increasing one, there will still
be on ever-increasing demand for
more and more. Will the State con
tinue to hold itself obligated to in
crease its gifts in the same ratio? If
it do, the end is not far off and that
end is socialism pure, simple, and
complete.

Where is that roller Hour mill that
was promised for Gaffney? We want
to hear from it again, and we would
much rather see it than hear from it.
Farmers around GalTney have been
hauling their wheat to Spartanburg
in urder to have it ground in a roller
mill. Twenty miles is too far to go
to mill, yet some of our farmers have
gone that distance rather than have
their wheat ground in the old way.
The best way to get a fine roller
mill at or near GalTney is for the
farmers to sow a large, well prepared
area in wheat. Do this, and the
mill will come and with it will come
a restful, comfortable „ fee ling of in
dependence into many a home to
which such a feeling lias long been a
stranger.

There’s “a pretty, howdy-do” in
the State dispensary. That great
“moral institution” is still sadly in
need of moials. It is the play of
Hamlet with Hamlet left out, with
regulations which are mostly irregu
larities, mildly so called. The board
of control has ousted Ouzt, and
doubted and downed Douthit, and
the farther it goes, the worse it
shows. But let no one bo alarmed,
for no one is greatly harmed. There
have been only irregularities, and
some little disparities, a changing
of labels and a making of Babels of
grades and qualities, so that the ar
ticle of the lowest test shall be sold
and drunk for the very best. Then
the contraband room has been on
a boom, and barrels and kegs and
jugs, that held the pure juice with
out the “bugs,” have been emptied
in some mysterious way and the
“empties” strange indeed to say, in
cluded a horse and a mule or too, and
what could they do but “put em
through?” The Slate is out so far
only about a thousand dollars, and
the penetontiary can beat that all
hollers.

Union, Oct. 2.—The weather indi
cates that frost is - near at hand.
Fire has proven to be very acceptable
for several days.
Cotton is being moved as it is later
in the season. It is placed on the
market as it is picked. Although
the price has an upward incline, it is
no inducement for the average farm
er to hold. Previous obligations and
present necessities are the governing
factors in regard to the movement of
cotton among the really needy
classes.
We are reliably informed that a
shooting affray occurred near Santuc
on Saturday night at a negro festival.
The law and punishment have no ter
ror among this class. Preaching and
teaching are not cherished among
them as in days gone by. It must
terminate in sc no form. The sooner
some plan is adopted by which these
people can be governed and treated
as a race the better for all concerned.
The season for sowing wheat is now
at hand. Early cotton is favorable,
as the land can he prepared more
rapidly. The wise fanner will see to
ii that a large acreage of grain is
seeded.
The city graded schools are open
with a full attendance. The time to
make hay is while the sun is shining.
Now is the time to patronize a school.
The work during the winter depends
very much upon the season.
An ordinance went into effect Oct.
1st which prevents locomotives from
whistling in the corporate limits of
the city, a move in the right direc
tion. This in duo season, if amended
so as to prevent loitering on the
streets, would add more luster to the
city appearance.

Presbyterian church, held a special
meeting on September Jtlth, 180!), to
express their deep sense of loss in
the death of their efficient president
and teacher, Miss Fanny Jones, by
the following resolutions:
1. Be it resolved that as our I leaven-
ly Father has seen (it to call unto
higher service one of our most useful,
faithful members, wc must endeavor
more closely to follow His example,
remembering how ready she over was
for service in His earthly courts, so
often too, under great physical elTort.
2. That the good accomplished by
this truly unselfish Christian woman
at hom<r, in this society, at Sunday
school, in the choir, and indeed in
every walk of her life can not be
fully estimated until that day “when
He comelh to make up Hia Jewels.”
d. That we extend to her family,
especially her aged and godly father,
our tendercst sympathy and that a
copy of this feeble tribute to her
worth be sent to them, bo published
in the GalTney Ledger, and a blank
page in our t minute book be inscribed
to her memory.

ESSAYS ON MUSIC.
lt«'H<l Itcforo III* 1 Droiiil Klwr Inli-r-
Dfiiiiiiilniitloiml MiixU- Axxoi'liilloii.
The following essays on music were
road before the Broad River Inter
denominational Singing Convention
which convened at Arrowwood church
on Saturday, September 2nd, by
Misses Edna Martin and Zettie
Hi lies;
Music is a combination of harmony
and melody regulated hy tho laws
of rhythm and musical form. By
musical art expressed in simple num
bers memory is awakened, the sturn-
est heart is subdued and the heavy
burden of life is made tighter.
Music is one of God’s greatest bless
ings to mankind, and besides the
preaching of his word, there is noth
ing that contributes more to the ele
vation and refinement of society
than music.
Just stop for a moment and think
what a world this would bo without
music. What would our church
services, our Sabbath schools and
our societies be without the benign-
ing influences of music?
They are but very few people who
do not love music. Why then do we
not have plenty of good music in our
churches, Sunday schools and homes?
Home people seem lo think there is
no praise to God in instrumental
music. But we are taught to praise
God with instruments as well as with
songs. David says: “Four thous
and praised the Lord with tho in
struments that I made.”
The organ has been properly called
one of Gods instruments and the
worshipper who is not lifted Godward
by its heaven begotton tones when
manipulated by a child of God is to
be pitied.
A thorough knowledge of music is
one of the greatest accomplishments
one can possess in this world. It is
more valuable than earthly treasures,
because we wear it with us into the
beyond.
Did you ever think that music was
the only thing we could carry away
from life with us into that sweet
home above where all is peace, joy
and love?
Who can he angry when tho voice
of love speaks in song? It is like
the angels whispering kind words in
the hour of trouble.
How sweet does it make tho wor
ship of God to have tho reverent
emotion poured out in song! How
early should we be taught to sing, for
what is sweeter than the songs of
innocent childhood? We know of
nothing more genial and heart
warming, than to hear tho who.o
family joining in a hymn or song.
They will love each other and love
their home better for it. Tho hymn
sung by a mother to her boy may
in after days be a voice that will re
call him from ruin. To make homo
attractive music is one of the best
ways of doing this. Wo are com
manded to sing (spiritual songs; this
is one way Christ was lifted up.
And m«tny have testified to the fact
that the holy spirit came to their
souls for the lirst time while hearing
a spiritual song. And if we cannot
preach nor teach like some people
let us try and do something for our
blessed Savior. So let us sing. We'ail
can sing praises to our Redeemer if
we will only try. And so we find
that music encourages the wayward
traveler to press onward and upward,
so as to overcome the trials and
things of this life, to join that band
of heavenly singers.
Edna Martin.
Oh, the rapturous charm of music!
What power ithas to soften, melt, en
chain in its spirit chord of subduing
harmony. Truly there is power in
music, and almostomnipotent power.
It will tyranizeover the soul. It will
force it to bow down and worship, it
will wring adoration from it, and
compel the heart to yield its treas
ures of love.
Every emotion from the most rev
erend devotion to the wildest gushes
of joy it holds subject to its impera
tive will. It calls the religious to
worship, the patriot to his county’s
altar, the| freeman to tho temple of
liberty, and the friend to the altar
of friendship. It elevates, empowers
and strengthen them all. Besides
being powerful, universal, and the
voice of love, it is venerable for its
age. It is reasonable to suppose
that its swelling numbers have rolled
and made heaven vocal with its
strains of praise since creation
dawned. We have read that the
lirst account of it on record was “at
the laying of the foundations of tho
earth, when the morning stars de
lighted with the praise of a new
planet sang together, and all tho
sons of God shouted for joy.”
Who does not know the softtning
power of music? It is like the angel
whispering of kind words in the hour
of trouble. Who cun bo angry when
the voice of love speaks in song?
The harsh voice of selfishness and
passion is not heard when music
gathers up her love-notes to buhitn
the ear with song. Sing to the
wicked, tho disconsolate, the sufferer,
the old and the children, for music
will inspire them ail. The voice
should he cultivated to sing the tones
of love to man and God. Around the
fireside, in the social circle, •and at
tho altar of God it should pour forth
melodious praise. How sweet it
makes the worship of God to have
the reverend emotions poured out in
song! How early children should bo
taught to sing, for what is sweeter
than the songs of innocent childhood,
so relining, so refreshing so suggest
ive of heaven. Songs learned in
childhood will he loved in after years.
The hymn sung by u mother to her
little boy may in after years bo a
voice that wili recall him from ruin.
We know of nothing more genial and
heart-warming than to hear t; whole
family joining in a song. They will
love each other and their home bet
ter for it. Show us the homo where
good music is 'jultivated, where the
parents and children are accustomed
often to mingle their voices In song,
and wo will show you one where
peace, harmony and love prevail. The
great vices have no abiding place
there. Music sweetens the cup of iit-
ness, softens tho hand of want, light
ens thi' burden of life, makes t he heart
courageous, and breathes like a
miracle of inspiration through the
smil to elevate, refine and spiritual
ize. It touchers here with tender
ness and there with energy’, now
with holy aspiration and anon with
the inspiring thrill M beauty. The
human soul is a mighty harp and all
its strings vibrate to the gusli of
music. Every song soot lies and up
lifts. It is possible that at times a
song is as good as a prayer.
David wedded his sincerest prayers
to melody, and wafted them upward
on tho night air from his throbbing
heart. In the soul that lias been
touched and made tender by pain
music finds a place where it inay
murmer its sweetest chords. It is U
the ear what luscious fruits,
taste. It is an alleviator of sorrow,
and a spring of enjoyment ; a protec
tion against vice, and an incitements
to virtue. When rightly used, its
elfects, physical, intellectual and
moral are good, very good, and only
good. Tell us where music is not?
Now we hear it in the pensive sound
of the autumnal winds, we see it in
the sparkling flow of the bright river,
we hear it as it were in tho morning
stars, the flame lias a cheerful hum
of its own and the sparks beat time.
The air is always whispering melody,
and the beautiful earth ceases never
its songs of praise. The tuckling
raindrops sing as they full, and the
Almighty has made man to sing smigs
of praise to him throughout all eter
nity. Oh, how the world needs
music, tho touching song that tells
in few words the trials or blisses of
life; the- more sacred music that leads
the soul to communion with God.
Let ail strive to become musicians
and surely they will become ever-
living souls.
