He was considered by many eminent statesmen as authori ty on international law and all mat ters pertaining to international di plomacy. His memory should be honored by all true South Carolin ians, and while we are gathering up the records of a glorious past his friends must sec to it that his name shall occupy on the scroll of great names, the place which his patriot ism, his brilliant talents, and his important services, all loudly de mand. We hero call publicly on his worthy and gifted son, E. A. 'Ires- cot, of Blacksburg, to prepare a sketch of his father’s life and works, to be published first in the Ledger, PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Every dollar of that money is the price of blood, and the dictates of the highest forms of morality and religion would be to throw it into the street and trample it under toot.

The mills will stop on Saturday and start upon Wednes day after Christmas. deceived by his guid wrong place, all of which sec probable from a British pf>inf of view. From the standpoint of the Boers, it probably appears different. We have all due respect for the Eng- J Gaffney and sometimes lish nation and great admiration for the Anglo-Saxon race; but our sym pathies so fur are all with the Boers. The men who will put up a valiant light when the chances are all heavily against them, deserve the sympathy and the admiration of mankind. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is a very difficult matter to punish a great, grand, towering ras cal. Your little sneak thief is easily disposed of. There is something about both himseif and his crime which excites contempt and demands swift and adequate punishment. But the aristocratic villain who with stately mien and broad vision reaches fort h a dexterous hand and sweeps a hundred thousand or two out of the possession of its legitimate owner, is a man to he regarded with interest, if not with a feeling of admiration. He is no ordinary man, and he must be treated with no ordinary consid eration. Capt. Carter of the United States army, who five or six years ago stole a few millions from the govern ment has not yet been punished further than to be put to some incon venience, and perhaps to have his mental tranquility somewhat dis turbed. He was courtmurtioled and sentenced to five years at hard labor in the Leavenworth penetentiary. It took the president about one year to approve the sentence and after that another year was comsumed in getting things properly adjusted for his somewhat protracted stay at Leavenworth. Now, somebody lias sued a contracting company or a con tracting company has sued some body for a largo amount with which Carter is more or loss mixed up. and it is held by Carter’s lawyers iliat he cannot b< imprisooe I while iln* suit i is pending.

We don't know of any attention which could have been be stowed upon us at this time, that would bo more appreciated than the sending of these publications. W. H. Trescot was one of the dearest, deepest thinkers and one of the most polished, force ful writers that South Carolina bus ever produced, and that Ids works have not been more generally read and himself more generally known and appreciated, are both due to the u H DoCatnn tell o’s getting juite a name for , himself as an editor. The Daily Ledger was just simply grand, and I i generally compare my paper with the | (‘/f d; j other boys from towns the size of argor ones. And my little paper just simply knocks the shine off of them. It makes me feel very proud indeed of Gaffney. I think she’s a thrifty lit tle town.

Brovidenci:, Dec. 12 —We remem ber to have read somewhere in the Holy Writ of the prodigal’s return, and while wo are studying over the occasion we venture to sling over a few lines to The Ledger, after having been silent so long. We wish to make mention of one recommendation of ourself presented before the hoard of action which read in part as follows: “The applicant is a country boy who was not horn to the purple, maybe, but to pure air, fresh water and wholesome food. He is not coddled and pampered, and lias not been run over by more than half a dozen freight trains. When night comes it means the end of day; he retires early, sleeps soundly and is not disturbed. At midnight “the cock’s sbriil clarion” may aiou<e him, but only long enough to turn over and settle himself more comfort ably. He is not afraid of mud or dirt, and it is no crime to wallow in either, because the hickory shirt and tow breeches are proof against injury. He does as he pleases, and is there fore natural. He is not cramped or fashioned or modeled, is not a profes sional boy or hum. His bare feet may be adorned with a sore toe, and for jewelry ho may wear a stone- bruise on his In t i and half a dozen corns on his toes; but he can run through a briar patch likea billy goat that has broken his collar bone by butting through the fence.” In spite of all the applicant got the posi tion ; and now t he prodigal has re turned to serve The Ledger with a sketch fr on our corner occasionally. We are glad to learn that The Ledger is being read in Texas—un doubtedly it is spreading out. In our next letter we will give all the neighborhood news. There seems to he a universal quiet at this writing. Buster. the great kidney, liver Baptists of the | offcr in this paper and frAI fv\ m no. Is The Ledger (iiitTiii'y's .Mirror.

You smile on them and they smile on you, you frown on them and you are re paid in kindness. They are the re- ilex of the town. If the town is do ing business, the newspaper will show in its advertising columns. If the merchants are spiritless, shift less fellows, whose stores are jumbles of junk and jam, the newspapers will show it by the luck of gpaoe they take.

He should come to Gaffney and live for about three months and follow up the improvements going on as we follow them up. and then he would find out that we never make a .misstatement concerning the pro gressiveness of the place.
