X 'i" i no L/iei >oiei*. fi.oo per Year. PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND KKIDAY BY Ed. H. DeCamp. TilK WARS. The wtir in South Africa is progress ing slowly for England. Gen. White, the ifritish commander, is cooped up in Ladysmith, and seems to have enough to do to keep himself and army from being captured. The Hours are conlident, boastful and de fiant. It is the general opinion among them that one Huer can whip ten Englishmen. They will proba bly have cause to modify iheir opin ion on this question, Put the (act de velops more and more, ami they will give England all she wants in the business of war. In our opinion the Boers are over confident. W’hen we hear of their boastings we are forcibly reminded of similar boasts that were heard throughout the South in the days of Secession. It is true that the men'of the South had the spirit to back their boasts and they did make their boasts good on many a bloody field. Hut in all wars of any length, it is numbers that count and money that sustains. In the South, one of these factors was limited and the other was altogether wanting. In the beginning of a war fought by volunteers, individual courage amounts to a groat deal, as the first buttles of our Civil war, as the first battles between the Cavaliers and Roundheads, as the first battles of all such wars in the past, abundantly testified. Hut as the war goes on, discipline and members begin to avail more and more. The army be comes a machine and the heavier the machine, file greater the power. Individual courage amounts to noth ing when whole regiments and bri gades are hurled as solid bodies against the foe. When two solid bodies meet, it is simply a law of physical science, that the heavier one will crush the oilier. The Hoers have many advantages, and wo hope that they will so use them as to gain an honorable peace from their powerful, but prudent foe. Hut if the war is to be one of exhaus tion, there is no question as to how it will terminate. The war in the Philippines is also progressing slowly for the I'niLd States, and no one can yet see the end. There may be something in the recent rose-colored despatches to our government, and there may not be. Otis may have captured Aguinaldo j) type-writer; and that feat may have no more effect on the war than fho shooting of one rice bird would have on the direcl'on and alighting place of the flock. The American army now in the Philippines must number -ome 70,- 000 men. It lias a less valiant and enterprising foe to fight than the Hritish army in Africa has. Pul to pographical and climatic conditions arc more favorable te> t 1 e Hritish. Hoth wars are only gigunt ••• sciie-mes of plunder and spoliation, and origin ated in a spirit of greed and \uiu- ! glory. AH the benefits that will ever be reaped from them will be but poor compensation for the loss of life, for the sorrow and Buffering, and ihe load of debt they will erftail on gen erations yet unborn. MARK OUT YOI K CASK. The (Jiiltney Ledger ilUl President Johnson and Winlhrop College a great injustiee, Imt It lias not been true enough to Itself to lie Just to those against whom it preferred charges. Hock Hill Herald. The Oaffney Ledger's final declaration In regard to the Llmestone-Winthrop matter leaves that paper’s position very indefinite, hut no one will lie injured thereby, save pos sibly the Ledger. If our Gaffney friend wishes to consider us the special champion oj Winlhrop in a matter in which it was only just to be Wlntlirop's ehamplon, we certainly ha ve not the slightest object ion to Is- so con sidered. Columbia State. The utterances of the two journals above quoted compell us to reprint the paragraph that was first printed in the Ledger. •‘President Johnson, of Wlatlirop Normal college, writes the governor that the college has lieen compelled to turn otf 'ilii applicants for lack of dormitory room. And yet we happcii to know that scholarships are still being offered and girls already matriculated in other institutions are being persuaded to violate their contracts with t hose institutions and go to Winlhrop. How is this'/ Now if The State, the Lock Hill Herald, or any other paper will take our words and show us where wo have preferred charges against Winthrop or Prof. Johnson we will apologize. We have stated facts that we were acquainted with and we cannot see where we have made charges. The Ledger has never knowingly traduced any man or institution and we would retire from the business before wo would do so, and wl^yiever we do so in ignorance we wilt hasten to apolo gize. We have the friendliest feeling for our contemporaries who have taken issue with us in this matter and wo believe they are sincere and honest in their utterances, but they have simply misconstrued our words and the meaning of them. We do not like for them to think wo lack backbone to do the manly tiling, but we do think it would be cowardly to acknowledge that we bad done some thing which we have not done just to gain their good graces. This paper can have no enmity toward Prof. Johnson or Winthrop college and oven if it bad it would not seek redress through its columns. We asked a question we had a right to ask. Prof. Johnson has answered it and it seems to us that there it should end. However, we are willing to do the apology act if anyone will take our words and show us where wo have preferred charges. Make out your case or take the back track. NOTES AND COMMENTS. We hope that our citizens will not forget the meeting called for the purpose of organizing a fire company. This is a movement in which every man in Gaffney who owns any prop erty or ever expects to own any, is vitally interested. Let every man and boy who has as much of this world’s goods as a bed to lie on or a chair fo sit on, turn out and give the enterprise a hig start. It has already been too long delayed. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦- The Ledger olflee is now turning out some as fine job printing us can be done in New York or Philadelphia. We have seen some specimens of late that were perfect beauties. The new job press run by steam is a daisy, while the large amount of new type lately added to the stock makes the outfit for fine printing complete. We doubt if there is another county newspaper office in the State that cun compare in equipments with that of the Ledger. ♦ ♦ The editorial policy of this paper, as fur us it has any, is to tell the truth and fear no man. The editor is no politician, has no desire for of fice of any kind and no favors to ask of any man or any set of men. He has due respect for other people’s opinions, and lie- demands respect for iiis own. He writes what lie thinks is true, and until he is con vinced of error, he has no apologies to make. If other people do not like his opinions, they have two resources freely accorded them; one is, not to road the editorial columns of the Ledger, and the other is, to make the most of what they read. The dispensary troubles thicken and widen. Ex-Chairman Hasclden and some friends got into a regular Kentucky battle at Sellers last Tuesday, in which blood Mowed freely. Haselden was shot in the thigh and five or six others were wounded, some of them, it is thought, fatally. The trouble grew out of a communication to a newspaper, which Hasclden accused Hon Sellers of writing. We do not kuow enough of thd particulars to justify us in making any comments. We can only say that nothing but trouble may ever ho expected to come out of a hot bed of corruption like the dispensa ry. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We note that the Greenville News accuses The Ledger and the Yorkville Enquirer of “showing symptoms of sanity." In the days when the code was recognized and honored, if the editor m to. N ws had accused the Ledgi r of lowing symptoms of any- th'ng io common with the Yorkville Enquirer, a mao from the Ledger of fice would have waited on him with carte blanche to ask for an ex planation or retraction, and in case that was not forthcoming to arrange preliminaries, *fco. Hut those good old days with their easy, clear cut regulations are gone, and the only resource left us is to say to The Greenville News “You’re another.” ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ No man can visit Gaffney now without being impressed with the fact that it is a busy, stirring, hust ling town. At all times of the day and every day in the week, the streets are alive with rattling ve hicles of every kind and a rushing throng of people. If a man is driv ing he must keep a sharp look out to avoid a collision, and if he is walking on the sidewalk, he must keep his eyes before him or he will walk against somebody. All this in dicates that Gaffney is not done growing. She needs to be bigger yet and she is getting bigger every day. it is about time that the council had called down the fast driving along the streets. There i^too much of this for comfort or for safety. Now the government statistician conies again with his figures. This time ho puts the cotton crop at 9,000,000 bales, with an intimation that it may be less. If cotton con tinue to rise, there will hardly be seed enough in the country next spring to supply the demand. The cotton craze will again come on with redoubled fury, and debts and mort gages and poverty will again come in regular order and on schedule time. While we want the farmer to got every possible cent that he honestly can for the cotton already raised, we believe it would prove a blessing in the end. if cotton should remain at five cents for ten years to come. At the end of that time our farmers would bo the most independent and happiest men on earth; for they would have learned by that time the art of living at home and the secrets of true prosperity.

The Kurmerii Have Agreed to Turn Their Attention to Other Crops. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Eata Jane, November, 14.—There will be a Thanksgiving service at Salem on Thursday the 30th inst., at 12 o’clock m. The weather continues favorable for cotton picking and wheat sowing. After this week, with good weather and health, farmers will have no more cotton to pick. Its all open. Several farmers are done sowing wheat, and ^the crop has been in most instances, put in splendid or der. Mr. H.T. Estes has been on the sick list for a few days—also Mr. Jefferson Blackwell has been in bed for a short time. Mrs. John H. Fowler is not in good health, at present. We are glad to hear that the farmers of all sections have with one consent, agreed to quit cotton and turn their attention to other crops in which they have the promise of a better living. Raising •cotton to the exclusion of other crops is a down hill business. We hope that this term in the popular mind will result in more, better ana longer schools for the children whose education is in many instances badly neglected. There are hundreds of children who are barefooted, thinly clad and poorly educated who kept at home to pick out scattering cotton when they ought to he in school. What some young men expect to make of themselves we can’t tell. Horn of and reared by respectable parents, with respectable family con nection and then to throw them selves away with the very trash and scums of creation—the lowest grade of humanity—the professional gtflnber and .Sabbath breaker, the profane swearer and blackguard and then to demand of their sisters or perhaps their wives immaculate purity, decency and respectability is something in which we cannot see the least symptoms of consistency. Young man have you ever thought of the pain your conduct gives those who love and cherish you as a son, brother or husband? If not please stop and think and we’ll guarantee a change in your life. You have no right to demand of others what you don’t possess yourself.—Yirtue. Those who cun spare the time from their other work uro turning their stuble lands preparatory to next year’s crop. We are g| a( i t 0 h ear from our young frj en( ] Hoyce Whisonant who is now a t Rock Hill High School. He is Retting along finely and taking a high stand in his studies. Mr. T. M. Littlejohn has had his Davidson bottoms ditched and is put ting them in condition to cultivate next year. Mr. Tom Jackson can move as much mud in a day with a spade as any man in Cherokee county—white or black. There are three kinds of people in the world, the will s, the want’s and the cant's. The first accomplish everything; the second oppose every thing; and the third fail In every thing. That there is a way where there is a will is not altogether correct—Not evpry one who wills so to do can rise to the height of a Napolean, or a Lee, or a Jackson. Not every man can make of himself exactly what he chooses. However, there is nothing like a determined will. All men of note have been men of determined wills. Will-power has forced itself up through poverty, deformity, mis fortune, dorCOJragement, prejudice and even defeat itself and has at lust crowned its oubjects with success. A long list of names suggest them selves to the readers mind just here as commanding extraordinary will power. A resolute determination is half the battle of life, hut accom panied by on untarnished character, and an unfaltering faith in God, its achievements are beyond computa tion. Mardon says: “Give a youth reso lution and the alphabet, and who can place limits to his career?” St. Haul says: “I can do all things through Christ, which strongtheneth me.” A wise man desires no more than he can get justly, use soberly, dis tribute cheerfully and live upon contentedly. Of all the nuisances in the world for which we have a contempt the professional gossip takes the lead. Gossip is a sort of smoke that comes from the dirty tobacco pipes of those who use it, and it always shows the bad taste of the smoker. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Hluckwell went to Gaffney yesterday on a shop ping tour. The Christian Endeavor Society met at Mrs. Sullie Foster’s last Sab bath night. Rev. J. P. Marion preached a very able and instructive sermon at Salem lust Sabbath. The Salem and Hick ory Grove congregations have en gaged his service for half his time, and at each church there will be preaching twice a month, hereafter. The days have not yet been fully de cided upon, but we think it will be the first and third Sabbaths of each month. We are glad our road authorities have put the bridge at the Davidson place in safe condition. It bus for some time been dangerous. The Sunnyside school we learn will he taught by Mr. J. L.

A Joke VA hleh the Kaiser Enjoyed to the Utmost. A very funny incident took place on the oceasiou of the kaiser’s recent visit to Cnssel. The general in command of the division, anxious to give a loyal welcome to his majesty, had instructed his officers ami men that the moment they saw him wave his saber or even his hands above his head, they were to start cheering while the massed bauds were to intone the national an them. The general is very shortsighted. Suddenly the gates of the palace opened, and an officer appeared on horseback. The general, convinced that it was his majesty, waved his hand in the air. At once all the hands start ed the national anthem, while the 20,- 000 or more troops present began to cheer. Only when the amazed officer got near the general did the latter real ize that it was not the emperor, but one of his orderlies, who had come for the purpose of announcing that the monarch would be upon the scene about ten minutes later. The commanding general at once set to work to stop both the music and the cheering. Hut tiie more he gesticulated with his hands and the more he shout ed, the more convinced were his offi cers and men that he was encouraging them to increased loyalty. The din was perfectly appalling, and when at length the emperor arrived, he found the gen eral streaming with perspiration, pur ple in the face and on the verge of apoplexy, while neither the soldiers nor the musicians had a breath left In their bodies. The kaiser, who has a very keen sense of the ridiculous, is said to have literally shaken his sides with laughter. —Berlin Letter. ConfiMlon of Gcnerntlons. It is not often that a grandmother, a mother and a daughter each bring a male child into the world on the same day, but this has just happened at Galicia, on the estate of Count I’otoki. The children are thus greatuncle, un cle and nephew, and as they are all of the same age there will he some con fusion in the generations of the family. The Emperor Francis Joseph when he heard of the occurrence sent a sum of money to he divided among the three children.—London Daily Graphic. A ItcIlKioHs Hevlvn.1. Abner L. Frazer of Cincinnati is try ing to get the clergy interested in a world’s revival, to mark the opening of the new century. The time which he suggests for the holding of the revival is from Oct. 1, 1000, to Marclt 31, 1901. The first three months of the century he would devote to the reviving of the work of Christianity and the last three months to forecasting the Christian work of the future. The Eminent Kidney and Bladder Specialist. m The Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work la His Laboratory. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by it—heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood—the albumen —leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s 5wamp-Root the new dis covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands of apparently hopeless cases, after all other efforts have failed.

She does not ask for help until it is impossible to get along without it. Boils and pimples ^are an indication that the system is accumulating impurities which must be gotten rid of ; they are an urgent appeal for assistauo* —a warning that can not safely be ignored. To neglect to purify the blood at this Hme means more than the annoyance of painful boils and unsightly pimples. If these impurities are allowed to remain, the system succumbs to any ordinary illness, and is unable to withstand the many ailments which are so prevalent during spring and summer. Mrs L. Gentile, 2001 Second Avenue, Seattle, Wash , “I was afflicted for a long time with pimples, which says; % % I were very annoying, as they disfigured my face fearfully. After using many other remedies in vain. S S. S. promptly — and thoroughly cleansed my blood, and now I rejoice in 5? a good complexion, which I never had before.” Capt. W. II Dunlap, of the A. G. S. R. K., Chattanooga. Tenn., writes: “ Several ignis and carbuncles broke out upon me, causing great pain and annoyance. My blood seemed to be in a riotous condition, and nothing I took seemed to do any good. Six bottles of S. S. S. cured mo completely and my blood has been perfectly pure ever since.” 8. S. 8. FOR THE BLOOD is the best blood remedy, because it is purely vegetable and is u only one that is absolutely free from potash and mercury. It promptly mifies the blood and thoroughly cleanses the system, builds up the general health and strength. Jt cures Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheuma tism, Tetter, Boils, Sores, etc., by going direct to the cause of the trouble and forcing out all impure blood.
