NOTES AND COMMENTS. Jt is a significant fact that Senator Marion Butler, the populist leader of North Carolina, was asked direetiy the other day in the United States Senate if lie and Lis party were in favor of free tilv*-r at 10 to 1, and lit refused to answer. The question was pressed, but nothing but evasive an swers were elicited. Free silver is « dead duck and if the Democratic narty undertake to carry it through the next presidential campaign, the decaying carcass will emit so many noxious odors that it will be exceed ingly unhealthy for ducks of every feather. ♦ We hope that no animosities will linger in the wake of our town elec tion. It was as impossible for every voter to get his choice as it was for every candidate to get an office. There was much interest felt and manifested in the election, and that is a healthy sign. In the race for mayor the votes were nearly evenly balanced, and it should be gratifying to both the successful and the un successful candidate to know that there are so many good people in (Jalfney who have strong confidence each one of them. In some cases, perhaps in every case, the result of the election for wardens was dillerent from what many expected and de sired. But that is not a matter for anybody to fret over now. The thing for every voter to do now is to give the new municipal government a hearty support and to co-operate with it in guarding and promoting the in terests of the town. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is a matter of gratification to every lover of law and order, as well as to every one who is a well wisher to the human race, that the spirit of mob violence in our State is appar ently subsiding. The lynching in Aiken county a few weeks ago is the only one that has occurred in per haps eighteen months. There was a mob in pursuit of a negro in Spar tanburg county a few days ago, but at last accounts it had failed to find him, and the probability is that the lynching went by default. This con dition of things points to one of two facts; either that the crime for which lynching, are usually in flicted is becoming less frequent or that the sentiment which condemns them is becoming stronger—perhaps to both. Really we believe that a vast majority of the best people of the State have always been opposed to mob violence in every shape or form. But owing to the peculiar conditions prevailing they have not been able to assert themselves. It is said now that Lord Roberts, the British commander in South Africa, is waiting for the Boers to as semble all of their scattered forces into one body, so that he may crush them all at one blow. He reminds us of the man who refused to work his potato patch, claiming that it would be better to wait till the grass all got up and then he could destroy it all at one working. We did not bear how the plan succeeded in the case of the potatoes, but we imagine that the man had a hard tussle with the grass when he did tackle it, and in the meantime that the potatoes suffered the penalty of hit delay. We are inclined to think that the plan of Lord Roberts may work out somewhat in the same way. The tide has turned against the Boers, but their resources are not yet ex hausted, nor is their spirit yet broken or dismayed. Men who know ho w “to do and die/' as they do, will fight to the last ditch, and will yet, as their president said, make Eng land pay a price at which the world will stand aghast. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Ex-Senator Hill, of New York, who cut such a figure as a democratic leader a few years ago, and who at one time seemed in a fair way to take up his abode in the white house, has of late hud very little to say to the public. But since his enforced re tirement, it seems that lie has been meditating upon a variety of sub jects, sued) as the vanity of human wishes, the corruption of politics, the perfidy of friends, the difficulties, dangers, Illusions, and disappoint ments that rise up all along the road that leads to fame. While pur* UflMJULii kindred subjects the ex-Senator and tiovernor has evolved some ideas of government which meet with our hearty endorsement and commenda tion. He has discovered what the Ledger discovered a good while ago, that there is too much government, that the country is burdened with laws, and us a consequence individual manhood is being dwarfed and the spirit of socialism is everywhere rising and spreading. Senator Hill is a hack number, hut these truths which he utters are at the front to day and prominent on the very face of affairs. OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM. Tliu IVopU; urt! ItcKlmiiiiK to Do Some Tlilnkliig Along that Line. fCoiTfcspondence of The Ledger.) Providende, March 7.—In review ing Superintendent McMahans report for 18l)!> we notice, that something over !ji800 000 went to the public schools, yet the schools were kept open only an average of 4.81 months for whiles and 3.00 months for ne groes. The superintendent recom mends that in order to produce bet ter results the shools should in each county be under better system. But with the best system the sum ap propriated is inadequate to give the masses of the people schools that will run even s'x months in the year. The public schools throughout the State must he recognized as a basal necessity of the well being of the State and should, first of all other public needs, he adequately provided for. We cannot ulford to he lagging behind in so great a need as educa tion, and why it is that something is not done for the betterment of our schools is a question we cannot solve. There is a wrong and it should be “righted.” We see there are many leading papers not taking up the subject and we hope it will be the is sue in the approaching campaign. The people of our State are beginning to do some thinking now.along this line that should have been done many years ago. After they once see clearly the defects then they will perhaps make a move in the right di rection. We now leave the subject and await further developments. Our friend, Mr. Eugene Meetze, accompanied by a reporter of the News and Courier, went over the Broad last Sunday to see “wild John Starnes.” It seems that John is at tracting more attention as the years go by. In fact it is a curiosity to see a man living in a small pen and sleeping in a dry goods box. How ever, The Ledger sometime ago gave a full history of his mode of living and we will not add thereto. Rev. John Ruppe and son, Henry, spent Monday night with C. J. Dan iel. It is said that Mr. Ruppe has united more people in the holy bonds oT matrimony than any one man in the county. The echo of the plow boy is heard in every direction. It makes us feel like work time had coma in ear nest. However, we don’t see many people hauling fertilizer yet. We suppose people are expecting a fall in onces just before time to plant. Will the year 2000 be leap year, or will it leap eight years as it has done this year? Buster. (intKNy I'oikI GohmI|i. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Grassy Pond, March 7.—Miss Pearl Huskey entertained a number of her friends last Saturday night by giving them a singing. It was much enjoyed by all present. We have two Sunday schools at this place, one in the morning and one in the evening. There is no ex cuse why young people shall stay at home. There will preaching at Mt. Joy next Sunday at 11 o’clock. Your correspondent was in the city of Gaffney last Monday and every thing seemed to be on a boom. Some were swapping horses, some were talking about the election while others were courting a little. It doesn’t seem that there is any use in saying anything about Flaw Pjcker. I suppose he has gone up in the Coaling Groud to remain the bal ance of his days. We were very sorry to hear of Al exander Vanderbilt Jolly breaking his leg. We hope he wilj soon be up and playing with the boys again. Treasurer Jones and wife spent Sunday with Mr. Jones’ mother, who has been sick for some time. Rooster saw his mistake about Rev. Mr. Bridges preaching at Grassy Pond on a recent cold Sunday. Rooster was at church on Saturday and Mr. Bridges was absent and on Sunday Mr. Bridges was present and made a short talk while Rooster was absent. Mr. Bridges could not face the cold and come to his church on Saturday. Now, preacher, we are even ; I’ll hush if you will. Rooster. Au Afieil »n<l Worthy Cooplo. • Correspondence of Tne Ledger.) Buffalo, March 1.—It has been said that men are not appreciated un til they are in their graves, but the opposite has been shown on two oc casions recently in our own oommur nity with reference to Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Moore. On the loth of January, the day that made Mr. Jonathan Moore eighty years old, without informing him of the fact, his children and grand-children together with many friends, in all near one hundred, with baskets well filled with good things to cat drove into his yard and erected a table in front of his dwell ing and loaded it with provisions And on the 28th of February, when Mrs. Jonathan Moore was seventy- three years old, the same thing was repeated. In spite of the ice the people curne till nearly one hundred were present. These two, whoso high Christian character have enabled them to stand for right as they have walked hand in hand for Ihcse many years, have won the respect and love of the poo- lo far and near. u. u. ji. v STAR ROUTE DELIVERY. How KarmerM May Iluvu Mall Delivered to Their Hoxen. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Notice is hereby given to the pub lic that the contracts for carrying the mail on all the Star Routes in the State of South Carolina, taking effect July 1, 11100, provide that those who so desire may have the mail that is addressed to them de livered by the carriers into boxes along the lines of the several routes. Any person living on or near any Star Route in the State ne.ined who desires his mail deposited in a box on the line of the route by the carrier on said route may provide and erect a suitable box on the roadside, located in such manner as to he reached as conveniently as practicable by the carrier, and such person shall file with the postmaster at the post of fice to which his mail is addressed (which shall he one of the two post offices on the route on either side of and next to the box) a request in writing for the delivery of his mail to the carrier on the route for deposit in said mail box, at the risk of the addressee. It shall be the duty of the post master at every such post office, upon a written order from any person liv ing on or near the Star Route, to de liver to the proper ma'l carrier for that route any mail matter, except registered mail, with instructions as to the proper mail box into which said mail matter shall be deposited; but no mail matter so delivered to a carrier for deposit shall be carried past another post office on the route before being deposited in a mail box. The carrier on the Star Route will be required to receive from any post master on the route any mail matter that may be intrusted to him, outside of the usual mail bag, and shall carry such mail matter to and deposit it in the proper boxes placed on the line of the route for this purpose; such service by the carrier to be without charge to the addressees. The mail carriers must he able to read and write the English language and be of sufficient intelligence to properly handle and deposit the mail for boxes along the routes. The law provides that every carrier of the mail shall receive any mail matter presented to him, if properly prepaid by stamps, and deliver the same for mailing at the next post of fice at which he arrives, but that no fees shall he allowed him therefor. The contract price covers all the service required of the carrier that is indicated herein. \V. S. SlIALLEN’BKUOKK. Sec. Ass’t. Postmaster Gen. I.imt-Mtone GolW-ge DotM. Dr. Lodge lectured at Belton, S. C.. last Friday evening. Miss Steedly and Mrs. Brown went to Spartanburg on business Wednes day. Our honored president received a letter a few days ago from Mrs. Gen. Pickett in which she promised to visit the college soon and spend some time giving informal talks to the history students. She also sent to the Kate Montgomery library a copy of her book recently oublished, entitled, “Picket and his men.” Within the last week the presi dent's office, faculty room, parlor, library, reading room and society hall have all been handsomely fitted up in the new building. The next meeting of the Literary Society will he held in the new hall. The departmental libraries are now being rapidly built up. Each class room is to be provided with such a library, which shall contain at least two hundred and fifty vol umes, hearing on the subject taught in that room. All of these small li braries are parts of the Kate Mont gomery library, and are arranged in this way merely for the sake of con venience to both teacher and pupil. On last Tuesday aPernoon the Limestone Musical Club neld its regular monthly meeting which was, indeed, a delightful one. The sub ject of the meeting was Mrs. H. H. A. Beacl>and her works. The president of the club, Mr. Wade R. Brown, had prepared a very Interesting and in structive paper on the subject of “A Woman’s Sceptre in the Realms of Music,” in which he first spoke of the comparatively few women com posers. He then told us something of the life and works of Mrs. Beach and played d little waltz which she composed at the age of four years, and named "Mamma’s Waltz.” A letter which she had written to the club was then read, after which an interesting program, illustrative of the different styles of both her vocal and instrumental works, was well rendered by different rpembers of the club. At the close of the meeting Mr. Brown showed us the photo graph of Mrs. Beach and also a man uscript copy of one of her composi tions. We are sure that all who were present feel greatly benefitted and could truly say, “Would that there wore more Beach’s.”. A. M. M. A Oovurnor’M Opinion. Everybody knows ex-Governor Robt. Taylor, of Tennessee. He says: “I have had occasion to use Tyner’s Dyspepsia Remedy and find it an ad mirable aid to digestion. Taken be fore lecturing, it imparts a vigor and easiness of feeling which is very de sirable. J am convinced that it is a first-class remedy for aiding digestion. ’‘Especially if Tyner's pyspepsia Remedy is taken after eating.” Price 50c per bottle. For sale everywhere.

Is there any avocation in life that does not call for honest, earnest work? May we engage in any pur suit and expect to lie successful without being in earnest? Need the farmer, the mechanic, or any other manual laborer expect success if he goes about his work in a half hearted, careless way? If, then, manual labor requires ; earnest work how much greater is the need of earnest work when it comes to mental labor! Those of us who arc blessed with capable minds how thankful we should be, and how earnestly we should strive to cultivate the talents God has given! He has given to each of us some talent, and has ap portioned us our work, both mental and physical, and if we do not that work to the best of our abilities He will certainly bring us to account, for unto whom much is given much is required. How careful we should be to util ize every hour of life and not trille, away our precious God given min utes in idle nothingness. We as teachers should try in every possible way to impress our pupils with the duty of being in earnest, for a duty it is, none will deny. Wo should also impress them with the idea that it is not always those who have the most pleasant surroundings that climb the highest up on the hill of fame. I sometimes think that hum ble surroundings are a blessing to many of us, for if we could all sit down on the lap of luxury we might fold our hands and say, “there is nothing for me to do.” Environment may, and often does, have something to do with the shap ing of character, but mainly that which molds and makes a man a man and a woman a woman is that earn estness of purpose, that desire of the soul to do and to dare and to be of use in the world. There are many uncrowned heroes and heroines today fighting single- handed as they go on and on, up and up with no one looking on or ap plauding save God and his angels. And these* will go on, sometimes stumblings, sometimes falling but at last they will reach the summit and will have the satisfaction of knowing they have done their best. O, that we all would each day try to do our best! and keep our hands and head and our heart busy as we honestly, earnestly strive onward and upward. We know that each step forward makes it (asier for the next, and each battle fought makes the next victory more easily won. Napoleon in his youth, fighting poverty, grim and hideous, no doubt made him more able to stand as he did on the real battle field. I dare say the battles he fought with pov erty were not less fierce than those he fought with canon and sword. Charles Dsckens! Would we ever have known of him had he been con tent to stumble along the hack streets of London, to and from the blacking factory where he earned but six shil lings for a whole weeks work? Nay that earnestness of purpose was then permeating his being. His poverty only tended to heighten his ambition and make him more earnest; it filled him with the desire to rise higher than the little attic in which ho of ten dreamed of better days. And it was not merely dreaming; for we know that he did climb onward and upward until at lust he stood head and shoulders above many of his contemporaries. As Abraham Lincoln lay prone on the hearth of his cabin home study ing the alphabet from his mother’s Testament hy the light of a pine knot fire did any one dream that he would ever be one of the greatest presidents of the world. Oh 1 the secret of it ait was his earnestness. Earnestness in all that he did, he it splitting rails or executing the laws of his country. He was earnest, he was true. As Benjamin Franklin walked through the streets of one of our cities v.ith a few shillings in his pocket and his other belongings un der his arm, did any one think he would ever snatch the lightning from the heavens? Did not his future wife guy him as he walked along, little dreaming that lie, her future husband, would astonish the world hy his wonderful inventions. Those of us who are just beginning life, how earnestly we should strive to overcome the many difficulties that would hinder us. Only God knows how many of us are laboring under so many disadvantages. He knows whether we are earnestly, honestly striving to do our best. And in youth is the time to begin our work. Today there are some here whose steps are less sprightly than once they were, and whoso once fair hair now touched by winter’s snows tells us that evening is almost here. Boon these will cease their earnest work, if earnest it has been, but the results? Ah! they will never fully realize the results until they cross on the other side and hear, “Well done thou good and faithful servant.” O, that we had more earnest work ers, O, that wo were all more earn est, more willing to strive onward and upward and to rise above diffi culties and to remove obstacles that hinder our path! For the uphill path is not by any means always smooth. On thp contrary it is often rugged and sometimes almost im passable. And sometimes we must climb where there is no path at all. Wo must hew our way as we go. But if we will keep on climbing and hewing we will reach the top after awhile. And there we will have plenty of elbow room, for I have heard it is not very crowded there. I do not know, I have not been there yet, but if earnest work, earnest climbing and earnest hewing will take any one to the top I believe I will got half way up any how; for you know God always helps those who help themselves. a. n.
