The letter of President Morgan of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Com pany which is published generally throughout the State, will do much by its reasonable and dispassionate statements to allay the resentful feelings of the farmers against the fertilizer trust. We have said be fore that we did not believe that the trust had arbitrarily put up the price of fertilizers, and Mr. Morgan’s Id ler confirms that belief. Prices of all commodities will fluctuate in obedience to conditions that cannot be controlled by any one set of men, and it would be unreasonable to ex pect fertilizers to be exempt from the influences that regulate the prices of all other productions. It is well, however, that the farmers have spoken out in regard to this matter, even though they go on and buy as much fertilizer as usual. They put tij. ir emphatic condemnation on th'' principle of the trust, shown clearly that wln ncvcr that trust may choose to squeeze, it v. iP find squeezing a rune which two can play. I* is not Jikciy that the trust can ever sell firliiizcr at prices that will make the manufactures very rich; because fertilizers are not necessities like bread and meat and the farmers will always have the power in t heir hands to check the price when it begins to show signs of unhealthy increase. The Greenville News recently told a good story illustrative of the labors of our Legislature with the dispen sary. A hog somewhere in \ irginia found a hollow’ log under a rail fence enclosing a fine field of corn. The hog entered the hollow and emerged into the field, and found himself in glorious luck. After gorging him self as only a hog can do, lie found egress by the same log which had afforded the means of such a Jtappy ingress. For several successive days the hog made his regular visits, keep ing iiis good fortune to himself and feasting on the juicy corn, with none to molest him or make him afraid. In the meantime the owner of the field discovered the depredations that were being made, and the place of entrance, and observing that the log was crooked he turned it so that both ends were on the outside of the fence with tlr drtrp solid angle on the inside of the field. On the au thority of the News, tiic hog has been ever since paying visits tu tin- field, crawling in at one end of the log and out at the other and wonder ing what is the matter and where in the world lie is at. The incident well illustrates the Sdyentures of our Jaw’ makers with # dispensary. Every year they larch into the dispensary log, turn the corner and come out on the same side of the fence, leavj moral institution^^^mT'o'ni cally undi8t»L>*^fo* ct a!ld P racti - sed. ♦ ♦ ♦ Cotton is now bringing over eight cents in the home markets. Those who have been able to hold cotton, are in luck, and the whole country will feel the benefit of the rise. The great danger is that the cotton craze wilt break out afresh, and that in the end the rise in price will prove a curse to the country instead of a blessing. There bus never before been a clearer demonstration of the fact that demand and supply fix the price of cotton. The seasons last year were unpropitious, and the crop was cut short, notwithstanding the va-u acreage planted and the her culean efforts of the planters. The world was slow to learn the facts, and perhaps strenuous efforts were Made by speculators in the interest of great manufacturers, to keep the facts smothered. Hut facts of any kind will sooner or later forge their way to the front, and whatever ob- ntructions may be thrown in their path can only be temporary. There was no power on earth that could keep the price of cotton down when the facts became fully known. The lesson to be learned from the situa tion is to make cotton a surplus crop every time. Wise and fortunate is the farmer who will learn it and put it into practice without further chastisement. The danger of small pox is not yet over, though it has somewhat abated. Our town authorities took hold of the matter promptly and ^tablishcd an effective quarantine against Clif ton and Pacolet, and the prospect is that owing to their vigorous action, Gaffney will have complete immuni ty from the dreaded disease. Only one case has appeared at Pacolet and that was promptly isolated and is now convalescing. Oar latest news from Clifton is to the effect that the disease is not spreading, and that there lias been no death. There is no sign of u ease in Gaffney and those who wish to conic to our town on business or pleasure need entertain no fears. The Ledger will not sup press facts that pertain to the pub lic welfare, to subserve the interest of anybody. When the bill to appropriate 000 to build dormitories for Winthrop College cimo up in the State senate, our Senator it. C. Surratt made a strong sensible, manly speech against the measure. Jfo presented an array of facts which the advocates of the appropriation did not ex plain and a series of arguments which they could not answer. Of course facts and arguments go for nothing when men are determined not to be convinced. Hut still we are proud to know that Cherokee county lias a man in the State senate who lias 1 ho ability to see what is just and right and the manhood to declare it. It would be interesting to know how niuc' taxes each one of thirty odd senators who voted agair.t him, pays to the support of the State government. The Carolina Spartan announces that Mr. McGowan, of Spartanburg, will put up a rice iiuiler and cleaner for the next rice crop, provided he can receive proper encouragement from the farmers. This is a proposi tion which deserves the earnest con sideration especially of those who own bottom lands. There are thous ands of acres of those lands on Broad river. •Tliickety and Gilkie creeks, and the I'acolets, which would produce from 7b to 100 bushels of rice per acre, and which arc now yielding county crops of corn or lying entirely idle for the luck of moans for proper drainage. 11 v, ry square foot of them ought to ho in rice, yielding their owners from $100 to $b00 per acre. There's millions in it. I year? Decrease officers salaries and sessions and this will give the requir ed amount for better common schools. Again, we ask if the school law does not require the election of school trustees every two years? If so, why is it not done, and if this is not a law, why does it not become a law? We are assured it would suit ail pat rons and it would be just and demo cratic, and is one of the many im provements that are needed in our schools. There are some trustees we know’ of who held their office as trustee for fifteen or twenty years and were never changed until the formation of Cherokee county. This we do not like in every sense. It is too long for one man to iry to please the people and is staying in the old rut too long. With six or eight months per year and a change or an election for trustees every two years would give better satisfaction. There is some sickness in our neighborhood at this writing. Mr. Joe Daniel and three children tire very sick with pneumonia. Dr. Nes bitt is their physician. Our neighbor, Louis Humphries, is convalescent. He Inis lagrippe and is on $ tie mend. Why don’t Batchelor, of Buffalo, write again. Come to the front old fellow. Bi'stkk. There has been a considerable flutter in political circles caused by the rumor that Senator McLnurin will shortly resign the senatorship to accept a position on the I’hilippinc Commission, and there arc perhaps a half dozen prominent politicians ready to step into his shoes. We are not ready to derounce Senator McLaurin as a traitor, b' t we should think more highly of him if he were in less favor with the McKinley admin istration. We are unable to see how any .Southern i)i inocrat can uniform ly affiliate with Republicans and keep his democracy pure and unspotted before the world, Tim Mote iiihI the in am. (Correspondence of The Rodger.) ITiovim nce, Jan, 1).—We naturally insist ori viewing everything from our own individual standpoint, though a moment's n flyetion convinces us that our vision is obscured by our own prejudice, colored by self inter est or warpea by our own pro •..-n- ctived idea. We too hastily f nm conclusions from a distant point of view, thoughtlessly condemning our fellow man who reaches a different conclusion, even though lie is in a position to form a fairer and more ac* curate view.

We complain of unchuritublenei? of others when we are the victims. Nevertheless, it is true we say and do these things, often thoughtlessly and without any deliberate intention. But thoughtlessness is hardly an ad equate excuse when we are all endow ed with the faculty of thinking and remembering. We cannot reasona bly expect others to be more consid erate of us than we are of them. Nevertheless we do expect it. The fact is we are all too prone to thought lessness, too thoroughly wedded to our own prejudices and too intoler ant of others, although a stilish habit of attempting to do other peo ple's thinking and failing to do any for ourselves. We are shyly peeping around the beam and watching the mote despite the fact that all men are human and our such u bad fellow after all. Let us cultivate the habit of view ing matters from a less selfish stand point and become more charitable and more tolerant of others, and let more sunshine in our own lives and brighten the lives of others. If we could once form the habit of looking after "self'’ and let others do like wise, we would be kept busy in a profitable business, receiving a re ward of happiness and showing others some good examples. We would undoubtedly be called blessed. We are still hovering our same opinion in regard to our school sys tem. While our oflicers at the capi tal are wrangling over some (perhaps) useless law or amendment and whil ing away the limited time set forth for their stay, conid they not tnako a groat improvement by amending the school law and giving the State a feea school of ut least six months per KIiik’* Items, lOorrespoiidonce of The Ledger.)

That is a fair, living pritv. 1 he om-danger is that the present good priee ina.\ induce farmers to plant a large crop this year and if the seasons are fruitful an enormous quantity may lie made wnich will drive the price down to wards four or five cents. The drought of 18dff caused an unusual falling off in the crop, and as a result there was an upward rise in price. The people ought to have learned tiiat there really is such a thing as supply and demand, and that bus a great deal to do with the price of the farm products. Lefc . pvery farmer, as a matter of wisdom and con science, determine to raise every thing pos.-tble on Ids farm for home consumption, corn, small grain, hay, cattle,hogs, horses, sium-p, peas, pin- durs, potatoes, vegetables, milk, but ter, eggs, etc., in abundance, and thus reduce the acreage of cotton and tnako it the surplus crop, and the material prosperity of this country is assured.
