MISS SAM.IK KNIGHT. Miss Sallie Knight, the lady who sang in the opera house here on the lOUi inst., lias rather a remarkable history, which ought to be related for the benefit of the girls and boys too, who complain of lack of opp >r- tunity and content C <unselves with mediocrity, or even failure, because they have not been favore l by for tune with wealth, station, n id noble birth. She was born and raised on a tarui in Laurens county of tiiis u.ate, and iiad only such early educationai advantages as the country schools afforded. About issd or A. her father moved his family to ] ime- stono and occupied one of the old “match houses” which then s’ood on the college campus, entering Sal- lie in the Cooper-Limestone Insti tute, as it was then called, and se id- ing his little boys to the schools in (laffney. At the expiration of one year Mr. Knight moved back to his farms carrying his boys with hi: i hut leaving Sallie in the Institute. She remained until she had com pleted the literary course then pre scribed for graduation. She also i studied music along with her literary under Mrs. Murray and soonVxhibited a decided talent and developed a great fondness for vocal music. She left college with her ambition thoroughly aroused, and determined to improve to the utmost the talent which her studies had revealed. She could no longer expect help from others, and she resolved to help her self. She secured a school in the country which she taught very suc cessfully, then another and another, until she had laid by sufficient means to enable her to go to New York and pursue her studies in vocal music un der the best teachers that could be found. Next we hear of her in Hol lins Institute Ya., where she re mained one year as a student and afterwards returned and remained a year as a teacher in that institution. We have been told that for her year’s work as a teacher she received a salary of ijil.iiOO and the board and tuition of her sister whom she had carried with her. In the meantime she had taught one year in the Green ville Female College, but at what ttlary wo have not been informed. Afterwards of her own motion and on her own resources, she crossed the Atlantic and spent two years in the city of London under the instruction of masters and in close association with the best musical talent of th'e world. Such, in brief, outlines the story of this remarkable young woman. She is now’ well on the road to for tune and to fame. With a splendid personality, indomitable energy, and towering ambition, she promises to climb to the highest round in the ladder of success. She has a voice of murvcdlous compass and power and at the same time of inexpressible softness and sweetness, and it has been so cultivated us to be at all times under perfect control. No in strument, under the most skillful manipulation, could have equaled her voice in the last piece she sang in (Aulfney, in its harmonious swells and its softly dying cadences. The story of her life should teach a lesson of encouragement to the faint-hearted and bring the blush of shame to the cheeks of boys and girls who are spending the golden period of youth in frivolity and in dolence and whining and complain ing for the lack of help and oppor tunity. NOTKS AND COMMENTS. A few of the mill population of Charlotte, N. C., resisted compul- 805y vaccination and as many us seven men and women were arrested by the police and confined in the guard house until they gave in, and submitted to the scratching of the ‘‘points” without u murmer. The Observer reports that tliere are only six cases of small pox in the county and there is no fear of an epidemic. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦■ The rains in all parts of the coun try during February have thus far been heavy and many of the rivers have been swollen to the dimensions of freshets. For the last four or five years the winters have been unusually dry, but they seem to bo working back towards the old standards Lands broken up in January will bo run together more closely than ever unless a good supply of grass and oilier vegetable matter was plowed into the soil. It is the duty of every citizen of (cftITney who is entitled by law to register and vote in the approaching municipal election to secure his reg istration ticket and turn out and vote for the men of his choice. Gaffney is no longer a little straggling village, but a town approaching a city in size, and both its revenues and ex penses are assuming big proportions. \Ve want clear-headed, patriotic, un selfish men to manage its affairs for the next two years. This paper can take no part in behalf of any individ- .ual candidal), but it hopes that there will be a full turn-out of the voters and a free expression of their ciioice. This will settle it fegilly an 1 ought to settle it so far as feelings, prefer ences and prejudices are concerned. Neighbors and friends cannot aJord to fall out over this election nor any other. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The march of socialism is meas ured by the increasing passion for laws. We have* laws piled upon top of laws until no man on earth knows wiiat they are or what they all mean; and still tin* demand is for more and more in an ever increasing ratio. Gradually the people are depending more and more on the government and less upon themselves, or to put it more correctly, they are gradually being merged into one collective whole at the sacrilice of individuality. This is socialism. The result will be a strong govern ment for a weak people. The motives to individual development and the causes which produce strong men and women are being absorbed or removed. This age, in this part of the world, will produce no great men either in literature, science, war, or stutesmenship. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The lust Legislaturi was about up to tiie average of the past ten years. It spent a little more than the usual amount of money and beyond that did nothing very good nor very had. The broad tire bill was at last de feated, us perhaps it ought to have been; the hill appropriating $100.- 000 to the free schools so recklessly passed in the house was killed by the Senate; and after monkeying with the dispensary without sub stantially changing its status, the two houses came very near passing a weak local option bill, which might or might not have produced some beneficent results. The last named measure was probably in tended to conciliate and silence the prohibitionists, but it would hardly have accomplished such a purpose. The inducements for any one county to establish prohibition would be much weakened by the circumstance that adjoining counties might still maintain the dispensary and thereby deprive the county voting prohibi tion of a large part of the benefits of prohibition. Still there is little doubt but that a good many of the ounties would *huvo immediately banished the dispensaries within their bounds, if the measure had be come a luw—perhaps so many of them that the whole dispensary sys tem would have gone to pieces. The dispensaryites no doubt dreaded such an event and were afraid to trust the people. Obiltiu ry. Entered into eternal rest on the H*th of February 1900, near Powell, Freddy, the youngest child of Wil liam and Dora ilyars, aged eight years, one month and fifteen days; u suiTerer from brain fever since De cember This gentle and beautiful child ex hibited a patience* and Christian res- iguaiion far in advance of her years. <>!i, ii tiie Ifihh* is only true! and we have no reason to doubt it. Only three months ago Clara Dorman was taken from this community. They were dear little schoolmates; and i just think of their meeting over tiie river to wait and watch for the loved ones left behind. The playthings are laid aside and no more the cheerful words and attract ive loveliness of these beautiful chil dren will brighten a bapny home; no more will they join in lightsome play their loving little mates, for the flower has been plucked and is ‘runs* planted in a Saviour’s love by Silvo’s holy brook. Sleep on sweet children, you have only gone before; we shall meet again. \\ e shall meet in a land where there is no death and where the bright battlements need not the light of the sun. Sadly missed by loved ones here on earth the lovdy form, in trembling hope, sleeps in Jesus; hut the pure spirit has been borne on snowy wings to tiie mansion of rest and to an immortal home in the bosom of God. Sleep on dear children, sleep her alded by angels’ songs and guarded by a Saviour’s love. From a loving friend and mother. L. n. D.

Etta Jane, Feb. 20.—Since our ) ist letter to The Ledger it has been our sad, sad duty to attend the fu neral of our dear sister, Mrs. Isabella Horn, who died at Clifton on the 14th inst. We feel our loss is an ir reparable one, yet we rejoice to mourn nob as those without hope, and from our hearts we can say: ‘‘Let thy will be none.” She died as she lived—a Christian. She was buried at Pucolet Mills, Rev. Mr. Haynesworth conducted the funeral services. I>e;irest sister thou hast left ns And thy loss we deeply feel, lint Mis Cod who has lierefi us He cun all our sorrows heal. In Henven above we hope to meet thee When our days ou earth have lied : Ami wit Ii joy celestia t greet I lice Where no farewell teaiS are shed.

Wit h saints and angels thou ran-.! sing "til Jesus’ mighty power to saye,” And shout, "O death, where is iliy stingy” And where is I hy victor/ boasting grave’/ We als i regret to hear of tiie sick ness of our worthy Representative in Congress, Hon. I). E. Finley who, we understand, is confined to his bed in His many friends, not Ids congressional entire .State, will look forward with anxiety for his re covery. vVhile grading the railroad near Lockhart Alills a few days ago, we learn that Mr. Jim Gault found a cannon hall and the bone of a man’s leg, while plowing in the cut. Air. \V. E. O. ment, our local road overseer, is looking for the hands who haven’t paid their road tax prepar atory to giving the road a working be fore crop time sets in. .Most have paid. We understand that Miss Lottie Hlair’s school will close this week. Hon. 0 W. Whisonant, our repre sentative in the State legislature, is ai home and has gone to work. Cal vin is a man who always has some thing to do He is never idle. Mrs. S. F. Estes is sick and we hope soon to see her ^up and about again. Mr. \V. G. Fowler, who has a con tract for grading on the Lockharc railroad is at home for a day or two. He thinks the work will be finished by the middle of March. While at I’acolet Alills last week we had the pleasure of meeting Dr. John Little, M. D., of Spartanburg, who is treating the small pox cases at that place. Dr. Little is an old army practitioner and speaks hopi- fully of his ability to control the malady. The cases are isolated and every precaution is being used to prevent it from spreading Jimmie Strain is nursing an aching tooth. There was preaching at neither Abington Greek nor Salem last Sab bath on account of the bad weather. The death of Rev. S. 1*. Elwoll, Chaplain S. C. Division U. C. Vele- rans, will necessitate the election of a successor. We know of no one better qualilied or more worthy than Rev. J. L iwnie Wilson, 1). D. It ; s a source of great pleasure for us to know that a majority of our people—the farming community— both white and colored throughout this county, if not the entire State, have made such herculean efforts to meet their last year’s obligations, and the merchants have shown such a commendable disposition to help them. In this respect the past year has been’ a record breaker. Farmers have sold the last pound of their cot ton and the seed, together with all available crops, and applied the pro ceeds to their debts. Roth farmer and merchant have shown a high type of moral courage which speaks Wfli for our county and will lend largely to restore the confidence of one class in the other. On the contrary we hate to think, much less know, of any man who claims to follow the honorable pro fession of farming, should so far dis grace his calling and disregard the laws of God and humanity by offering every poor white man and negro who comes within his reach, as a burnt offering to atone for the short crop and satisfy his insatiate greed for money. 'Phis has been done and we have every reason to know it and whenever the proper ones demand it of us we can give names and circum stances. We regret to learn that on the first instant Magistrate John W. Alexan der, of Lawn, had the misfortune to fail and brake the large bone in his right leg. We are glad, however, to learn that ho is getting along very well and expects to be up and out again soon. He is a faithful, intelli gent and conscientious officer, with but few equals and no superiors. We hate at this late day to see the bravo troops who fought under Hampton and Fitzhugh Leo disagree at to A\ho won the battle of Trevillimi S.ation, Va. We take it for granted that every man in both commands did his full duty on that occasion. Knowing him a > we did it took every man in both commands to whip ‘‘little Phil” Sheridan, and then it was done none too well. Mr. Willie Foster is quite unwell. He lias been complaining for several weeks. We are glad to see so many new correspondents enrolling themselves on Tiie Ledger’s list. We read tuch of their letters with gn at pleasure and hope to form a more intimate ac quaintance with each writer. Wo know of no more effective way for youno men and ladies to advance their educational interest than writ ing for respectable newspapers. The time is well spent and wo hope to see ' hem crowd the paper each week. Rest assured, gentleman and ladies, that the editor will correct and excuse your mistakes. j. i, ,s. Our It<*pr<-M<'iilutlv«-» ut Home. Senator Surratt and Representative McCraw are at homo in Gaffney and are both busily engaged in their bus iness and Mr. Whisonant is at Wil- kinsville just as bu»y. All of them were close in their attention to their duties in the legislature. Thu Advance In the I’ricu of Cotton ItringH the (Staple Out. .Correspondence of The Leduer.) Weiisteu, Feb. 22.—The price of cotton assuming an upward tendency bus caused several bales to be placed on the market which were stored eway for the long hoped for prices which now prevail. The present price should not induce farmers to buy guano, plant a large crop of cot ton, expecting the same or better prices for their produc” next season. The nresent price came too late to benefit the needy farmer. His crop has long been disposed of and ac counts attended to, taxes paid, while at this juncture, the earth is nearing the course in its orbits which indi cates that spring will soon reappear. Prices, explanations and supposi tions are null and void so far as the average farmer is concerned. Ledger readers, especially, should hear in mind valuable instructions which have appeared in its columns from time to time and profit thereby, had they.never been taught by any other agent. Grow everything at home which may he grown to any advan tage. live econominally and become independent. To contract debts on the expected crop is only selling the privilege of conlroling the crop. Af ter being forced *o sell, the price in clines upwards to induce the thought less to repeat the act which is fre quently the cast*. It is the same old story repeated and no one should he amazed or deceived. Mr. Henry Tate has ju>t completed a new roof on bis residence which adds to its appearance. Air. C. Tate brings the mail from Gaffney every morning, regardless of the weather. School will soon close here. The children will return to their homes improved in proportion as a brief session will allow.

Holly Grove, Feb. 20.—Our school is out and your humble cor respondent is very sorry, ho will have to go to work now. Mi. James Parker is visiting in this community. Mr. Edgar Rippy tias been visiting in this community but returned to Cherokee Falls Sunday. Mr, H. Martin is still improving, he says lie can sleep all right at night now. There was a singing at Mr. E. It. Sapoch’s last Sunday night. Gurnet Martin is visiting on the other side of the Broad. We had the pleasure of visiting “wild John Starns” some time ago, who, so much has been said about. Although he looked kinder scary. Wo found that he talked with tolera ble good sense, and not so shy as we have always been told. WO and several others were riding along the road about one-half mile from where the ‘‘W’lld man stays,” and we dt- cith d to go and see him, hut we didn’t expect to he treated as well as we were. He hud a fire built by the side of a log and was cutting wood, although it was Sunday. \\ hen we rode up he told us to lightand warm, which we did with pleasure as we were some what cold. He talked freely about his mode of fanning, lie digs the ground and never pretends to plough. Upon be ing asked why lie didn’t buy a horse, he said he always had a place for all th * money he could get, he said he made a plenty to feed a horse, (but of course he does not). He don’t go to church, ho thinks that money is all preachers sire afier. After view ing what we thought a w etched place of abode, we took our depart ure.
