r rnic $1.00 per Yeor. PUBLI8HKD TUESDAY AND FRIDAY BY Ed. H. DkCamp. NOTK8 AND COMMKNT8. Aguinalclo has recently made a move which is considered in Wash ington as equivalent to a retreat. That is a crumb of comfort and a source of encouragement. How many more such moves will be equivalent to a surrender, we may represent by X. One of the most interesting pro fessional cards that we have r»' d in a long time is to be *een in the n'- terboro Press and Standard; not that it is unique or that it pre-enls un usual attractions to the ordinary ob server, but by reason of its associa tions and of memories that cluster around it. We wonder if the honora ble gentlemen of the Walterboro bar would like for us to explain. The Associate Reformed Presby terians of the South resolved in Synod lately held in Charlotte to celebrate the close of the century by building d magniticent church in Co lumbia. This denomination of Chris tians is comparatively small in num bers, but it is great in works and in fluence. It has given to the country many men eminent in piety, learn ing, and intellectual power. No doubt the church in Columbia will be built. < ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The United Daughters of the Con federacy assembled in Richmond, formally accepted from the veterans, the tusk of raising funds for the Davis monument to he erected in Monroe Park. The corner stone of this monument was laid at the grand re-union in 18%, hut the monument itself is still in abeyance, though the fund now in the hands of the Association amounts to .fJO,- 000. No doubt one will soon be erected worthy of the name and fame of the great Southern leader. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The expenses of the United Slates government have passed the miliion- a-day mark and it is confidently as serted that, not even on a peace footing, will they ever come back to it. In 1800 the expenses of a whole year amounted to $7,400,000; in 1820 to 1840 they averaged about $18,000,- 000 annually; now the ordinary ex penses of the government will mount up towards a billion every year with a constantly increasing ratio. That is the way we are living in the 19th century. The days of our fathers are gone forever. The government statistician, after thorough investigation, is now ready to report that the cotton crop will not exceed 9,500,000 bales. This is a reduction from the last crop of 1,bOO,000 bales, while it is calculated that the increase in consumption will amount to somewhere about 1,000,000 bales. Yet strange to say, that under the influence of thin re port, which is five limes mor*- iiice'.y to be approximately correct i t::', i coy that the prophetic Neill ever made, cotton futures declined one-fifth of a cent a pound. In ways that are dark and tricks that are vain the cotton trade is without a rival in the business world. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Honorable 1). M. Miles, chair man of the State Hoard of Control, is now proving by published certifi cates from honorable gentlemen, that he cursed the dishonored I). A. G. Ouzt for a blankety blank liar and coward, and that furthermore he rubbed bis fist on the said Ouzt’s face, as preparatory to the violent operation of sending thirty or more of Ouzt’s teeth down into his capa cious stomach where they would be of little or no use to the owner,—all this In case Ouzt dared to open his mouth. It is further testified that in view of such an impending calami ty Ouzt prudently kept Ins mouth shut. Now, the public knows who’s who, and there is no further occasion for it to open its mouth. ♦ ♦ ♦ The fall weather has been ideal. Not for many years has the seas'n been so favorable for gathering the cotton and the corn and for putting in the oats and the wheat. We usually can count on killing frosts in this latitude by the lU;h of Octo ber, but this year they wore post poned a whole month, as if Nature had repented of her hard dealings in the summer, and had a mind to bless the husbandmen before driving him into winter quarters so that he might remember her us a kind mother and forget her varying moods and capricious perversities. The provident, industrious farmer ought now to he well prepared for the winter, and during the long nights to come, his fireside should be a place where the family ties will be strengthened, and the home love will dwell in all its tenderness and beauty. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We are sorry to note that Rev. Mr. Morse who spent sometime in Gulf ney, in exhibiting on the streets pictures illustrating the downward road of the drunkard and in harangu ing the crowds on the subject of strong drink, met with some little trouble in Columbia during the Fair. He was arrested by the police for selling his literature on the streets without a license, be being ignorant of the city ordinance requiring license for such sales. While we are not prepared to champion Mr. Morse and his methods, yet we do not think that his arrest and detention in a patrol wagon through a whole night rellect much credit on the city of Columbia. The police no doubt could have found much bigger game, if they had taken the trouble to hunt for it, and the municipal au- thoritics could well have afforded to o.mnive at a transaction which i viol.-.' i only the letter and not the i - pilot of their uni'nances. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. I'eoplo You Know hii«1 I'eople You Don't Know. Abraham Lees, oi Philadelphia, Pa., spent several days in the city la-t week with his son, Wjn. G. Lees, a popular attache of the Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing Co. Mr. Lees is the superintendent of Hromleys Carpet Mill, one of tiie oldest carpet mills in the United States. He has been with the Bromleys for more than forty years. Mr. Lee was fa vorably impressed with Gaffney and the people of this section. He says we have a great country, and the warm-heartedness of the people won his affection. Mr. Lees will always be welcomed to Gaffney and wo hope to see more of him for he is a genial soul and one that will make friends with everybody.

The laying of the corner-stone of the Buford Street Methodist Church took place yesterday morning at 11 o’clock. Bishop W. W. Duncan, of Spartanburg, officiated at the cere mony. There was a large crowd out to witness the interesting ceremony. The Graded School children attended in a body. Bishop Duncan began the ceremony by asking Divine bless ing upon the assembled congregation and upon the work about to be begun, after which he read a number of appropriate passages of scripture. Rev. W. H. Hodges, the pastor, then read a list of the articles that were to be placed in x the corner-stone. The following articles were placed in the stone: A list of the stewards, a list of the trustees, a list of the building committee, a list of the church mem bers, a list of the officers of the city, a copy each of the Nashville Chris tian Advocate, the Southern Chris tian Advocate, the Epworth Era, The Review of Missions, The Woman’s Missionary Advocate, The Ledger, Minutes of the South Carolina Con ference, and a number of coins. The latter were put in by Chief of Police B. F. Camp, R. A. Jones, Prof. W. F. McArthur and L. Baker. Contractor I). K. Cecil then placed the stone in position. Bishop Duncan then off ered another fervent prayer and made a few appropriate remarks. During the course of his remarks ho said that there was nothing so valu able and beautiful as an appropriate edifice for the worship of the true and living God. it is an investment that will abide forever and extend to those about us. He noted that other denominations were erecting beauti ful bouses of worship, and said that it was an indication of a growing faith in the teachings of the Divine Master. “Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow,” was then sung and the benediction pronounced. The stone is a beautiful polished piece of marble with the simple but appropriate inscription on it: ******************* * HUKOKD STREET M. K. CHURCH, SOUTH * * * „ Founded 1815. * * Building Erected 1899. * ********** ********* The Buford Street Methodist church is the outgrowth of a little Methodist bund that was organized at Sarratt’s school house in the Union section of what is now Chero kee county, in 18P2. This was the nucleus that formed what is known as old Elam church. OldElum church stood out in the country toward Mrs. Clayton Petty’s place, a few miles southwest of Gaffney. The building was moved to Gaffney about 1874, and enlarged. It stood on the lot now occupied by the Graded School building and was afterwards moved across the street and is now occupied as a residence by Mrs. M. L. Irvine. The venerable and beloved Rev. I. G. Newberry was the first pastor after the church was moved to Gaffney. About 1880 the present house of wor ship was erected. The Methodist have increased wonderfully since the old Elam church was moved to Gaff ney. They are now next to the strongest congregation in the city, and are making rapid strides. They have needed a new house of worship for some years and the one they now have in course of construction will be a credit to the congregation and an ornament to the town. maw Heard oi n ? You may have heard about SCOTT’S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it is cod-liver oi! with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive fea tures. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palata ble that almost everybody can take it. Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nour ishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or anv other food in existence, ft bears about the same rela tion to other emulsions that cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called 4 'just as good” preparations, you will find that this is a fact. The hypophosphite* that are combined with the cod-liver oil jive additional value to It became they tone up the ne.vom system and impart strength to the whole body. 50c. ami $1 00 all druggUti.

I From tin* lianipton Ouurdlun.] It wuh the pleasure of the Guar dian's senior printer and reporter to visit this linely located town lust Sun day. The evidence of rapid growth is apparent even to a casual observer, and it requires no prophet vision to perceive that it is likely to become a populous town within the next de cade. Because we have long admired the noble character and intellectual at tainments of Mrs. Virginia D. Young, the visit was made for the purpose of forming her acquaintance. A very cordial reception was given us, and seated in the elegant parlor of her large and beautiful residence we were entertained in an agreeable manner upon literary and newspaper topics. It has been mentioned that Mrs. Young is now assisted by two lovely and very intelligent nieces, Misses Virginia and Annie Marion Durant. It was our additional pleasure to re ceive an introduction to them. Their presence graces the residence and printing office and likewise gives proof of Mrs. Young’s devotion to the mem ory of her beloved deceased brother, a soldier of the Confederacy, in the fact that she feels for his children. Desiring to advance their interests and at the same time give them a practical knowledge of journalism, thereby proving that women can achieve success in whatever profes sion or occupation they may follow, afforded the chief object of Mrs. Young’s assuming the proprietorship of the Fairfax Enterprise. The charm ing nieces are young ladies of refined nature and tender rearing—sweetly feminine, and devotedly attached to their generous-hearted aunt. Many Southern and Northern peo ple have read the delightful romances of Mrs. Virginia 1). Young, entitled “A Tower in the Desert” and “Be holding as in a Glass.” The humor ous and pathetic scenes are laid in the South. The former is dedicated to Dr. Wm. Jasper Young, her hand some and distinguished husband, whose eminence us a physician at tracts patients to Fairfax from neigh boring towns and cities as well as thoso^ in the surrounding country. The dedication is beautifully worded and breathes the sacred affection of a devoted wife for the husband whose true and lofty character she loves and reveres. It has been our pleasure to read the romances of many American, Eng lish and French authors—those which the literary world regard as standard works—but we have never read any books which proved to be more edi fying or entertaining. From begin ning to end the reader’s attention and interest are enthralled. Because of the high merit of her books, and be cause they are written by a gifted daughter of our beloved State—a woman whose splendid intellect re flects lustre upon Southern women— we would like to know that all homes are provided with Mrs. Young’s works in order that all the good they teach may be inculcated into the minds of young men and «.wotnen as well as those of maturer years. Mrs. Young’s books are elegantly printed by the Arena Publishing Company of Boston, but can bo had at small cost by ad dressing her at Fairfax. [We remember Mrs. Young very pleasantly as one of the regular at tendants upon the sessions of the State Press Association. During the meeting this past summer at Harris’s Springs she read a verj* interesting paper in a very attractive manner on “The future of theSouthernWomen in Journalism.” She is a most at tractive lady and deserves the praises of every true citizen for the heroic manner in which she is carrying out her work.—Ed.] Sheriff’s Sales.

Dr. Jacobs, is an institutiotr for the education and technical training of orphan boys and girls. It is located in Clinton, South Carolina. Nine handsome stone cottages house the children. In addition there are school buildings, general dining- hall, industrial and technical schools, library and shops. A farm of an hundred acres gives the boys opportunity for learning that busi ness. These orphans represent fifteen different States, (every Southern State) and their parentage was of eleverf different denominations of Christians. They are received at the tender age of six, and after being taught to take care of themselves, go out to lucrative situations. The cost of support is compara tively small. Five dollars will board, clothe and school a boy or a girl for a month. This could uot be done, were it not that the young people are a busy set and practice self-help. The money that cares for them is that which each benevolent individual gives, as moved by his own heart, or the Father of all. There is not a state in the Union that does not con tribute. No one compels. No one is responsible for their support. Of ten, there is but a day’s supply ahead; but never, in tliQ twenty-five years of its existence, has there been want. He that says: “I am Hie Father of the fatherless,” seems to have a hand in this. And what of you?
