I’ay your taxes this week. Hut u few more days remain before the time allowed by law will expire, and there is little probability of an ex tension. Indeed, but for the force of precedent and habit, there is little need for extension. The payment of taxes in these days of reform and progress, is not a sugar plum to be swallowed with a relish, but a quinine pill not even enclosed in a capsule, intensely bitter to the taste and nauseating to the stomach. But every one knows that in such cases, the sooner the pill is swallowed the better it is for the patient. We believe that taxes are too high —that the State is unwisely and un justly spending hundreds of thous ands of dollars of the people’s money every year. But we can’t combat ex travagance at the tax collector’s desk. There is only one place where that can be checked, and that is in the Legislature. So long as the peo ple send to the Legislature men im bued with the wild spirit of socialism, or weak enough to be manipulated by those who are so imbued, so long may the people foot the bills and ask no questions. It does sometimes look like that we, the people of the South, laid down our manhood, when Lee’s army laid down its arms at Appomatox With sycophantic servility we copy northern customs and manners and like all servile imitators, we strive desperately to excel the pattern, and succeed only in imitating its defects. We copied first the free school sys tem of New England—that seminary of Socialistic Catalines—and then we go farther and establish in one little tax-ridden state as man/ as five costly, top-heavy, lop-sided State colleges, which like greedy cor morants feed with undiminished hunger on the products of honest toil. There isn’t a single college in New England, supported by State funds, and yet South Carolina must have five, in order to show how thoroughly she appreciates the light that has broken in upon her from the north and how deep is her gratitude for the sound thrashing that re claimed her from barbarism! The spirit of the past is dead ; the sturdy manhood of our fathers is only a tradition; the most splendid civilization of ancient or modern times lias passed away; and our ship is drifting on seas unknown to the chart and towards regions which have never yet been explored. THE COWl'ENS I'AKK. The Co vpens Park is still in the future, but the future has a knack of turning itself into the present, and those who may live to witness that interesting performance, will see it compliment both the present and the past with a handsome park at Cow- pens. The Battle-Ground Memorial Asso ciation is . moving. It has secured from the owners about fifteen acres of the land on which the famous bat tle was fought, which it purposes to mark, preserve, and hold until such time as the spirit shall move Con gress and the nation to come to the rescue, and establish a park which shall be a fit and adequate memorial of one of the greatest events in our country’s history. The Association believes confidently that Maryland is ready to honor the memory of Ho ward and the “Maryland Line,” that Virginia lias not forgotten Triplett and his battalion, nor have Georgia and the Carolinas ceased to be grate ful for Clark, Pickens, McDavid, Brandon, Furr, and the heroic men who fought under them at Cowpens one hundred and twenty years ago. The Association also relies on the sympathy and active co-operation, in its init'atory work, of the “Daught ers of the Revolution,” especially of the “Cowpens Chapter” of Spartan burg, S. C., as well us the support of all patriotic citizens. It will hold a public meeting in the court house at GafTney on the first Tuesday in January next, imme diately after the hour of sale, for the purpose of maturing plans and push ing forward this great enterprise. Let aii make a note of the hour and place of meeting and let ail who are embued with a spirit of patriotism or of love and veneration of a glorious past, bo present and take a part in the proceedings. NOTES AND < OMMENTS. The cotton crop still dwindles, the latest estimate being not much over eight millions of bales. Let it dwindle till the world’s appetite so long surfeited on cotton shall have ample time to recuperate and be come whetted keen again. Then cot ton will be again king and the cot ton produces a courted aristocrat. ♦ ♦♦-♦- The 1'nited States Senate on last Thursday promptly tabled Senator 1’rettierew’s resolution requiring the secretary of the Navy to answer sev eral pointed questions In regard to promises made by United States of ficers to the Filipinos. So it seems t iiat the country must ask no ques- tidnsofthe present administration. “Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.” ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Boers have again severely handled a portion of the Brit’sh army, and England hardly knows what to do about it Some of her leading papers say that she lias met with the greatest disaster that has happened in her military history since the Indian mutiny. The Boers are showing what a race of sturdy farmers inspired with the love of home and country and accustomed to the use of guns, can do with disci plined troops sent into their country to plunder and subjugate them. They remind one of the Americans of a hundred and twenty-five years ago. The death of Ex-Congressman G. \V. Shell removes a familiar figure and an honored character from Lau rens county. Wash Shell was a good man at heart, of genial nature and honest purpose. He was warm in his personal attachments and per haps too generous in his confidence. These traits put him at a disadvan tage in his intercourse with un scrupulous and designing men and gave his influence to political schemes that were unworthy of his mind and heart. He was a gallant soldier and in the dark days of reconstruction he was as true as steel. He lived to realize the base ingratitude of politi cians and to become thoroughly dis gusted with their intrigues and moral corruption. At the time of his death he was supervisor of the United States census for 1900, for the fourth district of South Carolina and had but recently been in Gaffney on business connected with his office. Never before since this country was wrested from the Indians has there been such a lively and general interest manifested among our peo ple on the subject of history as there is at present. Our people seem just to have awaked to the fact that they have something of a history behind them and to a desire that it shall he truthfully recorded for the perusal of those who are to come after them. There are two reasons for the ex istence of this interest. One is, that the people of the South have become fully aware that their section has been studiously ignored or wilfully misrepresented, and that fact has aroused their resentment. But aside from this, we believe that such an interest would naturally grow if no such condition existed. Na tions are like men, the older they get the more interest they feel in the events of tiie past. A young nation, like a young man, is careless of the present and has little or no past to look back upon. It is not till the years and the centuries have made a past and crowded it with noble deeds and glorious memories, that it commands the love and veneration of either a man or a nation.

Gaffney 8. C., Dec. 12. Mr. Editor: Pardon me for in truding upon your time, but certain incidents that have occurred, and accusations that have recently been made against me, which compel mo to seek the medium of your colums in order to vindicate and place myself in a position to be thoroughly under stood— politically — by my fellow townsmen. During the eighteen months of my existence as a resident of Gaffney I liave Jcheerfully respond ed, when called upon, to address meetings of our citizens, whether the meetings were of a social, municipal or patriotic character, it mattered not. I have always been well re ceived and attentively listened to, and I congratulated myself that 1 had won the admiration and the con fidence of the people—people w' om 1 am proud to stand before and d- dress them as fellow citizens and country men; yet 1 am not unmind ful of the fact that for more than a quarter of a century we were divided, not only by state lines, but by fac tional and sectional feelings. But time, the great obliterator, has re moved those feelings. We no longer trace the line of Mason and Dixon on our maps to ascertain the boundary between the North and South. We stand today a re-united nation—one people, one government, and one flag. For more than a quarter of a century we were regarded by all European nations as a nation divided against ourselves; today we are look ed upon by all Europe as the peer of civilized nations. We have recently conquered and humiliated one of tiie proudest and most autocratic nations of the old world. Spain, once the monarch of the seas and the domi nant ruler of nearly two-thirds of the world, is today the most humiliated nation of the civilized world. Mon archy governments are slowly but surely on the wane; they will go down into history as a failure, when compared with a government—repub lic in form and Democratic in princi ple. For one hundred and twenty-three years the eyes of Europe have been centered upon us. The wise men of Europe prophesied at the very begin ning of our republic all sorts of trouble, both civil and religious, and that we would meet with a speedy and ignominious failure. They based their conclusions upon what they considered to be u fact, that there would be such a diversity of political and religious opinions, that nothing short of wars and rumors of wars would prevail. In that they were mistaken, though. I am sorry to say we meet with men in various sections of the country, even in this enlight ened age, who are so bigoted in their political ideas and so'narrow minded in their religious views as to think that they are the chosen few; and that all others should keep quiet. The writer attended u social gath ering the other evening ut which, during a recess for refreshments, he was drawn into a conversation on national and political history. Dur ing the couise of my remarks 1 com plimented the State of South Caro lina for being non-partisan in politics. I was requested to express my opin ion on the situation of the South. I gave it freely, and will here reiterate it: 1 am for white man’s supremacy in the South, and, in fact, in the country at large. 1 can easily affiliate with my fellow citizens in South Carolina on State, county and local politics. Baton questions or politics of a national issue i am a Republican. I expressed myself as being opposed to the appointment to Federal posi tions of any other than a white man. Judge of my surprise to learn the next day that I was accused of making im proper remarks, and that some person or persons were seriously contem plating my assassination. Of course I attribute such conduct and remarks to ignorance. 1 do not intend to re sort to personalities, but I will say that the South, and especially South Carolina, though one of the oldest States in the Union is, as yet, unde veloped, and in order to accomplish her development and place her in the front rank of agricultural and man ufacturing States, you must invite an inflex of immigration of citizens of other States, you must extend to them the hand of welcome, you must expect to grant them the same privi leges that you enjoy, the privileges accorded to all American citizens— life, liberty, and the pursuit of hap piness, free speech, free press, free to worship God according to the dic tates of their own conscience, and free to advocate and express their own political views. To bo a good, true Democrat, is to be liberal. w. G. L. Dover-Mitrtln. On Sunday, 17th, Inst., at the home of Rev. W. V. Moss, at Kings Creek, Mr. John Dover and Miss Hattie Mar tin, two of Cherokee's bright and pop ular young people, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. The cert- mony was pronounced by Mr. Moss in the presence of a number of the friends of the contracting parties. DlHcovereil hy » Woiiihii. Another great discovery has boon made, and that too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood its severest tests, hut her vital organs were undermined and death seemed imminent.

She finally dis covered a way to recovery, by pur chasing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking first dose, that she slept all night; and with two bottles has been abso lutely cured.

Monster death has stricken another name from the roll of our ex-Confed- ate comrades, and Alexander Frank lin Kendrick has passed to his reward beyond the grave. Ills mortal re mains now lie buried in the soil of his nat've state, whose honor and rights he fought to maintain and per petuate. The providence of (rod is over us and we how reverently to its wise dispen sation, t hough the bonds of unearthly brotherhood may be temporarily broken. As a comrade he will no more be seen amongst us. He has been called to meet tiie Judge of all the earth. The placp which once knew him will know him no more for ever. Could he speak to us from the spirit world lie would prefer tlio words of truth and soberness rather than those of extravagant eulogy. His life, with its trials, its struggles and its anxieties is completed, and we ! turn from our mdinary duties to ! make this lust feeble, though sad, i offering to his memory. A Frank Kendrick was born Aug ust 27, 1S12, near Skull Shoals, in Union county. His father was the Reverend John G. Kendrick, who for many years was pastor of that church, and his early pious training of ids children fully proved Solomon’s as sertion in Proverbs 22:9. At an early age Franklin united himself with the Baptist church at Skull Shoals, and lias frequently told tiie writer that he knew the very snot where God’s spirit visited him and taught him that he was a lost sinner, and pointed out to him tiie way of salvation. Under the most trying circumstances of life Mr. Frank Kendrick has frequently' and reverently spoken to the writer of the training he received in early life from a Godly fattier, yet frankly admitting his own errors. He never lost sight of that precious promise, “My grace is sufficient for thee;” 2nd Corin thians, 12 :9. He would often repeat it. At the breaking out of the war he volunteered in Company F., 5th S. C. Regiment and was with his command during its term of service, except when disabled by wounds or sickness. He was wounded at second Manassas by a shell, and at “the wilderness” he was shot in the foot, from which he suffered more or less till the day of his death, though rarely ever com plaining. He was a good citizen— kind and obliging to every one, often denying himself to accommodate others. This had much to do with entailing fim n dal burdei son himself by those who sought his generosity only to abuse it. As a husband and father he was kind and affectionate; no one had a greater desire for the happiness of his family than lie. He was true to his friends and forgivng to his enemies, lie never turned a deaf ear to the needy nor oppressed the poor. That he had his faults we don’t deny ; but he was no hypocrite. The world will not willingly forget his generosity. Death lias purified his name. His faults will be forgotten and his virtues remembered. In this spirit 1 lay my wreath upon his tomb. j. l. s.

A lion’s first signs of anger are as follows: Us tail rapidly twists from | side to side, the botiom slightly raising I and the hlaok tassel at the end heating the air; it lowers its head more than ! usual and growls, at intervals showing its teeth. Then its voice heroines loud er, it roars, shows its teeth and lowers Its ears, the movements of the tail in creasing all the time. At the time of charging that is, at the height of its anger—the tail rises in the air until it is almost vert hr 1, the black tassel continues to move, the ears are flattened completely, and the ani mal comes toward you at a slow trot, then at a gallop, and finally springs forward with open mouth and extend ed claws. Sometimes it shows these various symptoms without charging, restrained by prudence, but it never charges with out showing them. When the tail rises, the hunter can bring his rifle to the shoulder and await Ids opportunity. In hunting, a man who is on Ids guard Is worth four. A charge is extremely dangerous, al most always fatal when unexpected, either because of the dense vegetation or other causes, hut if you see the ani mal getting ready (light is useless. •Stand your ground. The only thing to do is to keep cool and trust in your weapon. If you have no conli lerce in yourself it is prudent to avoid measur ing your strength against these ani mals. He lleildi'il.

Wordsworth and Samuel Rogers had spout the evening with Coleridge, and as tiie two poets walked away to gether Rogers remarked cautiously: “I did not altogether understand the latter part of what Coleridge said.” “1 didn’t understand any of it,” Wordsworth hastily replied. “No more did 1!” exclaimed Rogers, with a sigli of relief.

They are about us on every hand raid we are con* stantly taking them into our lungs. Then why don’t we a!! have this disease? Simply because these germs cannot gain a foot hold hi a strong throat and lungs. It’s when these are weak that the germs master. The body must be well supplied with fat. The danger comes when the blood is poor and the body is thin. If your cough dots not yield, and your throat and lungs feel raw and sore, you should not delay another day. Take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos® phites at once. It will heal the inflamed membranes and greatiy strengthen them as well. The digestion becomes stronger, the appetite better and the weight increases. The whole body be comes w'ell fortified and the germs of consumption cannot gain a foothold.
