The following is a copy of the invitation sent out: NOT IS A NI > COMMKNTS.

The ground was not very wet and it is hoped that the crops of small grain are not injured. The freeze by retarding the fruit buds, will probably insure a crop of fruit. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Our honored contemporary, the Columbia State lias played another one of its old tricks. In a recent is sue it copied a paragraph out of the body of one of our editorials, and by leaving a great galf between it and its connections made it assume a meaning and spirit widely at variance with the editorial as a whole. We need not remind our friend that this was unfair to The Ledger and another evidence that our article as a whole was unassaila ble. We are not seeking a contro versy with the State, but whenever it may’choose to honor us by forcing one upon us, we promise in advance that we shall neither attempt, to meet arguments which we cannot confute, with ridicule, nor take gar bled extracts from whatever it may have to say and exhibit them before our readers as standing alone. We’ll throw up the sponge and beat a re treat when we find ourself with no other resources than such tricks as these. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Colonel Bryan received quite an ovation in Columbia and indeed a hearty welcome by the people of the entire State. He said many things in his speech in Columbia which we can heartily endorse, and if he could kick the free silver plank out of the Chicago platform, we believe that he would be the favorite of the great body of the American people. He has taken upon himself an herculean task—a task which no other man has undertaken in the history of our government—that of covering the whole United States in a political canvtss as a candidate covers a county. The mere personality of presidential candidates heretofore has never cut any figure. If Brjan suc ceeds by his personal influence in capturing votes enough to install him in the white house, it will be a new departure in American politics, and nobody but physical Samsons need *#*##*** SCATTKItWOOO “NO. .I.” Coi.cmiiia.

England over the news, and the ! luverage Englishman hardly konws how to contain himself. It was to be (expected that the tide would turn. Indeed it has been a matter of sur prise that it should be delayed so long. England has been slow in marshaling her power, hut she seems now about ready to comedown with a heavy hand. That hand must | sooner or later crush the gallant Boors who have exhibited a spirit of lofty patriotism and undaunted courage worthy of a better fate. I They arc now in the condition of the Confederates during the year 18(14, beset by overwhelming numbers, yet holding them at bay with dogged tenacity, while the gaps made in the ranks of the enemy by their murder ous fire were quickly filled and their own ranks were daily thinned with out the hope of being repleudished. Under such conditions it is only a question of time when the heavier force will crush the lighter, by the mere weight of numbers and the process of altrilion. eitiicr, with ’ Columbia in the after noon. A street car was the mode of transportation from the depot to the Columbia Hotel. After a visit to a nearby Delmonico where the inner man was refreshed, we proceeded to take in the town. The improvements now going on in Columbia are indeed marvelous. One would hardy recognize the old town. It is nothing like it was a few short years ago. On every hand can he seen the mark of progress. Xew busi ness buildings that would he a credit to a city many times larger than Co lumbia are going un on every hand, and they are handsome and of the most modern architecture. The V. M. C*. A. building, just a few doors from the magnificent home of The State, is a credit to the city and to the energy of that worthy and popu lar Christian organization. There are many other new and handsome buildings going up and in contem plation. The magnificent pavements are a dream, and the city fathers think mere of them than most peo ple do of a ma’n’s floor, for it is against the law to expectorate on them. In other words it costs you $.'» to spit on them. A fact worthy of note is that the Cherokee contingent were not among strangers. It seems that Both knew everybody of note in and out of the city and these, coupled with the pri vate citizens whom The Ledger man knew, kept the two busy shaking hands. Everybody seemed to know that the two were there for the pur pose of attending “Scatterwood.” In the evening a visit was made to the State House, where we met Sena tor Sarratt and Representative VVhisonant, of this county and many other senators and representatives from other counties. Representa tive McOraw was not present while we were at the State House. About :3() it was noted that quite a num ber of the senators and representa tives were making their way to the Columbia Hotel. When the hotel was reached Col. T. B. Butler and The Ledger man were conducted to the apartments of Col. V. E. (Bunch) McBeo. There were several of the. friends of the popular railroad magnet present, and all were in a state of good humor. Bright conver sation and other things were in dulged in for some little time until we were finally summoned to appear in the vestibule that leads to the dining room. In the midst of this vestibule was a table—a very small tabU—and on this table was a howl— a very large howl, and in this bowl was a concoction which looked Bke circus lemonade—in fact we were told that an ardent advocate of the cause of temper mce hud taken a few glasses of a l!k' > concoction the even ing b.fore at the Merchants and Man- ufacto er.-’ Club and bad expressed the belief afterward that he bud a vague suspicion that the lemonade contained something else besides lemons Around this bowl were gathered many men of many minds except on the one thing of getting the contents of the bowl transferred to another sphere—and it did not take a great while to make the transfer. Finally the doors of the spacious dining hall were thrown open and the guests entered. As the guests filed in President Thos. W. Stanland took his seat ut the head of the table. When all were seated the president called on Citizen Josh Ashley to ask the bless ing and that inimitable statesmen responded in the following words: “Good Lord: Look down upon us and bless us fer dese commisaries sot before us. Amen.” The following was the menu the guests had to choose from : Blue Points. Green Turtle. Broiled Shad, Saratoga ( hi|»s. .sliced Tomaloos. Lettuce. Olives. Sweet Pickles. Ham. champagne Sauce.

One of the most popular men pres ent was that prince of good fellows. “Bunch” McBee. Everybody was his friend and he was everybody’s friend. If is indeed small wonder that he only has to ask to receive for “tie’s a jolly good fellow as everyone knows.” Then tlitre was Cole L. Blease, looking even more dramatic than he did on the occasion when he ran his fingers through his hair in the house of representatives and inquired “Who is Jim Orr?” Smiling Col. Wharton, of Laurens, was in his glory and was even in a better humor than when he was studying art from nature. Hub Evans, the man whom all Newberry loves, was present and in his glory, if it can he said that Huh can be in his glory unless conversing with the feminine gender. Reading Clerk of the House Withers read a poem by Col. Hugh Farley on the founder of “Scatterwood” that elicited much applause. The treasurer reported $11.‘>0 in the treasury, whereupon Major U. R Brooks moved that, the money he used for a monument to be erected to the memory of “The Bald Eagle of E igi field,” Gen. M. W. Gary. This was agreed to by a unanimous vote. i^ol. (). L Sehumpert, of Newberry, was among the distinguished guests. The Colonel is too well known in Cherokee for the Ledger to attempt to say more than that everybody in the state loves him just as much as we do, and that is a great deal. Sergeant of the house X. II. Stan- seli is another popular attachee of the State legislature that was pres ent. The Hon. II. Covvpcr Patton disap pointed the gathering by absolutely refusing to make a speech, giving as. an excuse that he was un well Popular Joe Allen, the city auditor of Columbia, showed Ttc Ledger r< present at ive many courtesies, all of which are duly acknowledged. The banquet last'd until about 2:30, when everybody repaired to their respective abodes voting “Scat terwood Xo. D” to he the most popu lar alliance in the old Palmetto State. AT THE BRYAN SPEAKING. Through the courtesy of friends Col. Butler and The Ledger were pro vided with tickets to seats on the platform at the Bryan speaking. Col. But ler availed himself of the oppor tunity but The Ledger arrived too late and contented himself with mingling with the throng. The speech was one of the best and most con vincing that it has ever been our pleasure to listen to, hut we went to attend “Scatlorwood” and not tore- port Mr Bryan’s speech, so good-bye. A Giitriii y .Merchant lluj'M llaukriipt stock. M. Poliukoll GalTney’s popular Hebrew merchant, returned to the city Saturday aft* r a visit to Green wood and Augusta. At Greenwood Mr. Poliukoll purchased the stock of goods of J). Hershmann, which was sold by the siierilT for the benefit of Mr. Hershmann’s creditors. Mr. Poliakoff will bring this stock- to Gaffney and sell it. He tells u Led ger representative that he bought the goods cheap and ).o proposes to si'll them cheap for ihe benefit of his custom rs. Look out for Mr. Polia koffs announcement just as soon as the goods arrive and he can get them straightened out. lnraelM, Josef Israels, ivliose Spanish view abroad, is 4 he 1‘nlntci*. the Dutch painter pictures are now on 73 years of age. lie was horn at Groningen and studied at Amsterdam under Kruseman and then In Paris under Pieot.

A Mud KUU'dut Il)i»rkft1>nrg. Early Saturday morniug Sheriff Thomas was notified by telephone from Blacksburg that there had been a killing at Mm:, place and that the man who did the killing promptly surrendered himself to the propi r authorities. Later it was ascertained that Jessie Wesson, ot e of Hie most respectable colored mm in the county, was the slayer and that Thomas M. McBrayer. al<o colored, was his victim. Coroner Vinesett was notified and went to Black-burg to investigate the matter. He sum moned a proper jury of representa tive citizens and proceeded lo hold the inquest. Dr. W. Anderson ex amined the body of McBrayer and found a wound in the upper part of the body which he thought was made with a 38 calibre ball and that the wound was sufficient to produce death. Other witnesses were sworn. All the testimony was to the effect that Jesse Wesson did the shooting, and he acknowledged it, which satis fied the jury, and it rendered the fol lowing verdict: “We find that Thomas McBrayer came to IDs death by a pistol shot from the hands of Jesse Wesson in Jesse Wesson’s house with .It s.-e Wesson’s wife sitting on Thomas McBrayer s lap.” Upon ihe above verdict Coroner Vinesett committed Wesson to jail to await a trial for murder at the com ing term of court. Wesson is a colored man of good character and has the confidence of all who know him. He has em ployed Col. T. B. Butler of this city and Mr. E. A. Trescott, of Blacks burg, to defend him I'h-st ID'Kiment t'-iuiil. The concert given last evening by the First Regiment Band and Spec ialty Company was IDten- d to by a fairly good audience. While the per formance in the main did not come up to our expectations, yet there were some features which were very much enjoyed by those present. The triple tongue duet of IT. f Herndon anil Dr. Henderson was well rendered and showed they were perfect mus ters of their instruments. The sing ing of Mr. Horace Bomtu’was excep tionally good and brought much ap plause from the admirers of that po| - ular young vocalist. The entire pro gram was well carried out and upon the whole, those who attended were much pleased with the concert. Cmuity Schools Miss Bell Scott has opened a school at State Line. There is a good school house at that place and there is a fine attendance. State Line is fortunate in semiring Miss Scott as a teacher. The school at William’s, near Mc- Craw’s, is progressing finely under the splendid management of Miss Eva Hall. The Fairview school, with Acorn Stacy as teacher, is doing well. Miss Addie Sams has just closed a sueeeesfu! term of her school near Goforth’s Mill Mr. Simpson Cash’s school is being well managed arid has a large-attend ance. lou cam Me mem Did yea ever try to dodge the rain-drops ? Did not succeed very well, did you? It’s just as useless to try to escape from the germs of consumption. You can’t do it. They are about us on every hand and we are con stantly taking them into our lungs. Then why don’t we all have this disease? Simply because these germs cannot gain a foot hold in 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 does 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 greatly strengthen them as well. The digestion becomes stronger, the appetite better and the weight increases. The whole body be comes well fortified and the germs of consumption cannot gain a foothold. It’s this nourishing, sustain ing and strengthening power of SCOTT’S EMULSION that has made it of such value in all wasting end exhausting diseases. Feather Pillows need washing once a year. Choose a bright, sunny day; fill a large tub half full of water that is almost boiling hot; dissolve | enough Gold Dust Washing Powder in it to make a good suds; put one or two pillows in, acccording to size, push them up and down | and rub them between the hands until clean. If one suds is not enough, use two or more; rinse , In clear warm v/atcr, w ring as dry as possible, and hang them out; when dry, shake well, and I they wilt be as light and soft as new pillows.
