Ot'T-WI S AND LAIiOK I AUS. Our correspondent “Octavus” rather strained the meaning of an ed itorial paragraph which appeared in this paper several weeks ago in regard to children in the cotton factories. The main object of that article was to protest against the conduct of able bodied men who Mo around the facto ries and live on the proceeds of their children’s labor. Wo are not in favor of labor laws of any kind and we agree fully with “Octavus” in his declaration that every law of the kind only makes conditions harder for the laborer. Rut if we should favor any snch law it would he such an amendment of the existing vagrant laws as would reach the above mentioned able bod ied men who make their children support them and their families. As “Octavus” is in doubt as to the full effect of his criticisms wo will inform him that they had nothing ; whatever to do in causing us to make I a trip to 1’acolet, but they probably , did have due weight in causing us to | make many observations while we | were there, as well as some others | on the road in going and coining. | The former we have published, but , the latter were suppressed at the | time for the want of room in the | paper. We may say now. that in driving twelve miles across the country we saw several groups of children pick ing out cotton in the fields ,and in | those groups there were some appa- 1 renlly younger and weaker than any we saw in the factory; aud as to the 1 apparent amount of physical strain required to gather the cotton from the stalks arid to attend to any duty that we saw in the factory, the differ ence was so great in favor of the fac tory children as to forbid anything like comparison. The factory work is play by the side of the cotton pick ing, which requires the picker to stand all day with the spinal column bent nearly double, to support, a good portion of the time, a heavy weight suspended from the hips, and to lug sucks and baskets full twice a day to the house or the gin which may be half a mile from the field. It is strange that we have not heard some hypocritical cant about child labor on the farms and the op pression of children in th homes. When a man of pitiably small intel lect finds the desire for office kindling within him he is apt to become won derfully tender and emotional. His only resource is to balance lack of thought by superabundance of feeling —littleness of mind by a pretended bigness of heart. Wo have no words which will adequately express the profundity of our contempt for such a character. The family isja miniature state, and the father is the head of it, and no power on earth has any moral right to interfere with his adminis tration. His affection for his off spring was planted in him by the Creator as a safeguard against abuse of his power, and it may be relied on with a thousand times more con fidence to protect his child from in jury than all the wisdom and philan thropy of all the political demagogues that ever herded together in any hall of legislation. Of course there are now and then monstrosities in human nature, as there are in other depart ments of animal and vegetable life. Rut these are the rare exceptions and are to be dealt with only us monstros ities. If a father should wantonly murder his child or habitually beat him in u brutal or inhuman manner then the law should punish him, not us a father, but as a man who has dis regarded the life and well-being of his fellow man. It is a well established principle in ethics—a principle that has never been questioned by thinking men— that the parents have a moral right to the services of their children during a limited period of their lives, and most civilized states have recognized this right and fixed the limit, of its exercise. Our own state has fixed that limit at the age of twenty-one years for a boy and eighteen, we be lieve, for a girl. Now, if the state must step in and say just what kind of work must be required and just bow many hours a d iy the child must be^ept employed, it bus just the same right and is vmder the same obligation to say to tlmso parents who do not need the work of their children and do not re quire It, that they shall e*oinpel their children, too, to perform certain kinds of labor for a certain number of hours every day. The idea is pre posterous and subversive of all law and order. It is one of the mon strous developments of the rapidly in creasing tendency towards Socialism now prevailing in this country. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The great boat race which was to take place for the special entertain ment of the American nation has come off—without a race. The Shamrock broke her masts under the strain of canvas spread to the wind, and the Columbia hud it all her own way. We suggest that Hotham get up a foot race now for the amusement of the people. Imperialism is grow ing uninteresting and McKinlov and Rryan are just common mortals after all. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ There will be little or no frostbitten cotton this fall as there is no top crop and the early part of the fal has been very favorable to the open ing and gathering of the crop that was put on in.Inly. The light cotton crop and the fine weather have af forded the farmers a lino opportunity for reaping vast quantities of hay and for sowing a good acreage in wheat and oats. If the opportunity he wisely improved the results will largely compensate the shortage in the yield of cotton, while the rise in price ought to put the farmers in better condition than they have been in for years. The Carolina Spartan says that there arc !M,00O people in Spartan burg, Clifton and Glendale, and that they are nearly all non-pro^Mcers. This fact suggests to the Spartan the importance of dairy farming and it strongly urges somebody to under take it on an adequate scale. W e have not 21,000 to feed in and around Gaffney, but we have probably more than one-fourth of that number and the words of the Spartan will apply to Gaffney as well as to Spartanburg. We need a dairy farm at or near Gaffney—not a little upstart, spas modic business involving three or four poorly fed cows yielding uncer tain quantities of milk and butter, but a dairy intelligently planned and vigorously operated. There’s money in it for the right man who will go at it in the right way, an l there is comfort as well as luxury in it for one-half of the people of Gaffney. 4 Cowm Tor “Keeping Cows I’or I’rofit” is the well chosen title of the newest work on practical dairying to come under our notice. We understand that a large issue of this little publication is being gratuitously circulated with the compliments of The I)e Laval Separator Co., 74 Cortlandt St., N'ev. York, which concern offers to send a copy to oveiy reader of The Ledger upon request. The book treats of dairying as a manufacturing business and discusses its problems from the stanpoint that every dairy farmer is just us much a business man as though engaged in any oilier manufacturing or commer cial undertaking. It is compiled in terse, practical manner, is easily readable, and car. hardly fail to be interesting and instructive to every one in any way concerned in dairy ing It is splendidly printed, hand somely illustrated, and altogether pleasing. The front cover shows a lithographed milking scene, and the back cover a cut of the Jersey cow, Ida Marigold, which received First I’rize at the Chicago Exposition. The book begins with a brief review of the history of dairying, shows the relative percentages of the various component parts of the different dairying products, takes up the production and marketing of such products in one form after another, and closes with a pertinent reference to private dairying. Star Farm Statciiit-nlH. (Correspondence or Tne Ledger.) Star Farm, Oct. IS.—The weather has been very threatening for the last few days. The farmers are busy gathering up and ginning their cotton. The corn is not much. Rev. W. E. Crocker, the pastor of Elbethel church had two services last Sunday. The people all brought their well filled baskets and all had a plenty. Mr. Crocker and wife are going to China as missionaries to the poor heathen who do not know Christ. Rev. Mr. Crocker and wife stood up in front, while all the people gave them a sorrowful farewell, shaking their bunds. There were many tears shepthroughout this whole communi ty. They will leave Gaffney IWst of October, and will sail from San Fran- c : c i the ULh of November. Lrrn.K Dick.

Littlejohn is clearing up his Gilky and Thickety creek bottoms on the Davidson place and sowing oats. Could these lands have been put in condition this year they would have made fully forty bushels of corn per acre. The Surratt Rrothers have had the Thomson mill house torn down with a view of rebuilding and putting in new machinery. Mr. \V. H. Wright, an experienced workman, has the contract. In three weijks the coin mill will be in operation. And they expect to have a first-class flouring mill in readiness for the next wheat crop. The Christian Endeavor Society held a meeting at the home of Mr. F. A. Goforth last Sabbath evening. A good turnout of members was pres ent, and they had a very enjoyable meeting. We would be glad to see more of these societies in our coun try. They certainly give both young and old an opportunity to spend their time in a good work. There are no cases of sickness in this community now that we hear of. Mrs. Hill who fell and hurt her knee while attending at the sick bed of her son Giles last summer, has not sufficiently recovered to walk alone yet. The way of the transgressor is hard, so is that of a newspaper cor respondent. He says too much at one time, and not enough at another. What pleases one reader displeases another and so his whole pathway is filled with barriers and annoyances of one kind and anotner. The only remedy he has is "Dr.vy Crockett’s” rule—if he cun only find that out properly. Our troubles, usually, if not al ways, arise from trying to do our duty, and in that case remorse sel dom tollows our blunders. Rev. W. E. Crocker preached his farewell sermon at Elbethel last Sab bath. He and his excellent wife ex pect to sail for their mission field in China early next month. We regret that wo could not be present to give our readers a full account of the meeting, but wo hope some corres pondent will do so. While we have not hud the pleas ure of forming an intiment acquain tance with Mr. Crocker, yet wo do 1 know that his wife is one of the most ' consecrated Christian ladies in Cher- J okee county. She is tho daughter of j our esteemed friend, Mr. S. It. Thackston, of Asbury, whose early pious training has fitted her for the great and responsible duties upon which she is now about to enter. She is a true disciple in the strictest sense of that word who can say: • Ik itr cue on. thou ivsth-ss neeuii; Lot tin- winds my esuivass swell. Heaves my heart, with warm devotion, While I j;o I'or In-nee to dwell. (. lad I hid I lie. Native land I'arewell, farewell.” We have just received a call from Mr. John 11. Osment who is well and favorably known in this community. He and his good lady have been spending a few days with friends and relatives in Cherokee county. The quality of the corn raised this year is far above the average in com mon years. Not much of it is rotten and it weighs well. During our recent trip to Gaffney we met quite a number of friends from all parts of the county who generally speak encouragingly of the outlook. Things are not so doleful as one might expect. Our people are disposed to be cheerful even in adversity. Mrs. iSallie B. Estes is suffering greatly with sore eyes. We ure glad to know that Rev. R. 1*. Robertson, pastor of First Rap- tist church of Gaffney, will remain with our people and prosecute his ministerial work. Rather than let him leave we ought to try and get more like him amongst us. Jimmie Strain is hauling corn. People are putting up their fatten ing hogs. From all we can see and hear we are inclined to think that our sec tion will have some weddings before Christmas. Those who have been ginning say that the cotton is turning out well this year. The sum of two numbers is 100. and the difference of their square roots is 2. rVhat are the numbers? The Watson Rrothers are boring a well for Mr. II. R. McDaniel, of Hickory Grove. The frost has bitten a good deal of vegetation along the streams. Mrs. Lomaster, mother of R. B. and (ieorge Lemaster is quite unwell. She is a very old lady and her re covery is not to be expected. .1. L. s. During the winter of 1807 Mr. James Reed, one of the leading citi zens ami merchants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Ya., struck his leg against a cake of ice in such a manner as to bruise it severely. It became very much swollen and pained him so badly that ho could not walk without the aid of crutches. He was treated by physicians, also used several kinds of liniment and two aud a half gallons of whisky in bathing it, but nothing gave any relief until he began using Chamberlain’s Pain Ralm. This brought almost u complete euro in a week’s time and he believes that hud he not used this remedy his leg would have hud to he amputated. Pain Rulm is unequaled for sprains, bruises and rheumatism. For sale by Chero kee Drug Company. FIRE, LIFE AUD ACCIDENT INSURANCE. Ulirn v'l’ii neeil ii riii'.

HOLLY GROVE HAPPENINGS. DEWEYTO STOP IN GAFFNEY. Mt. raron Elefts Itev. E. < . Iliekson to the ran torn te. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Holly Grove, Oct. 18.—Corn shuckin’s have begun, and corn is better than it was expected to be along in the summer. Turnip patches are line where there is a stand. Peas are almost a failure in this section, but there has been a con siderable amount of peavine hay saved. Mr. J. II. Moore has been doing some up-to-date canning with his canning machine this season. Martin A Martin ;ire turning out some splendid work with their new gin. The Mt. Paron church lias elected Rev. F. C. Hickson as pastor for the ensuing year. Price Martin of this section has gone to New York ofT an extended visit. Garnett Martin is spending a few days with his brother, Rerry Martin, on the other side of the Broad. Columbus Wilson spent Monday with relatives at Cherokee. There are several families in this section who intend to try the factory this winter. K. R. Sanoch has completed the erection of a large barn. Mr. Sapoch is one of Cherokee’s best farmers. He knows the right thing to do and does it. The future price of cotton is almost as uncertain to a farmer as his life. Mr. Greene Roark is very sick. The doctor says he is not dangeroufly ill, although he is suffering n great deal. John Gibbons is confined to his bed with typhoid fever. Mr. W. T. Parker is confined to his bed with fever, also. Wylie Fulton has a very painful fellon on his finger, which gives him a good deal oi trouble. Lyman Martin accidently cut his hand a few days ago. ►Several of Columbus Wilson’s children have got the whooping cough. Almost all of Mr. Bishop Fulton’s family have been sick with fever, but they are about well now. Mrs. P. R. Byars has been very sick, hut is about well now.'* Mr. T. D. Moore’s chicken house was burned a week or two ago. The orgin of the fire is not known, When any one writes to a paper he had better be careful what ho writes, for it seems that if an article does not exactly suit some one, he will up and write his views on the subject and criticise the author for every thing he is worth. The country is just Hooded with newspaper critics, and they do not stand hack on pre forming, or at h.-ust trying to pre form, their tusk. The war between the I'nited .States and the Philippian Islands seems to be the least talked of in this country of any war preceding it. Sometimes there is an account of an engagement between the Americans and the Fili pinos but it don’t generally amount to much. Probally the reason the people in general do not talk or mani fest any interest in the present war is because they think it is unjust, and because it is not apt to prove a benefit to the l nited States when tl e Filipinos ure subdued. It is our opinion that I ncleSumdid an unwise thing when lie paid Spain $20,000 for the Philippian Islands, for even when the Filipinos are captured it is likely that was will be perpetual in those Islands.

Admiral Dewy is to pass through Gaffney on Tuesday at i 1 o’clock on a special train en route to Atlanta, where he goes to attend the Georgia State Fair. Already ho has been communicated with in regard to stopping at Gaffney and a strong let ter has been sent requesting that the train be stopped here for a short .while and that the Admiral show himself and we have every reason to believe that this modest request will he granted. With that end in view everybody in Gaffney who (-an possi bly do so should make pr.-parations to be at the depot and give the admi ral a grand send cff. Wo would sug gest that Limestone College and the Graded School and Prof. Chambers’ school take a recess for the hour and be present at the depot. Let all the people from the country who can get here hy II o’clock he present. Gaff ney owes it to this gallant old hero to turn out en masse and g've him a rousing reception. The train will in all probabilty stop for a minute and the hero of Manilla bay will present himself on the rear platform of the train. George Dewy is today regarded as one of the world’s great men, and the fact that he is receiving so much at tention at the hands of his country men is evidence that he is one of the world’s great men. Let all those who can do so be at the depot on 1 uesday to greet the admiral. An Alabama newspaper says that one-half of the pardons issued in that state are based on the plea that the convict is suffering frum c msump- j tion. j “I wish to express my thanks to ! the manufacturers of Chamberlain’s Colie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Reiner y for having put on the market such a wonderful medicine,” says W.
