Never before since this country was a wilderness inhabited by scattered tribes of savages, has there been a time of such wide and rapid develop ment of the mateiial resources of the country, as is now taking place be fore our eyes. Never before has there been a time when there was so much money seeking investment, when so many vast business enter prises were in operation, when capi tal was doubling itself with such wonderful ranidity, when so many men were getting rich and so many were striving to be rich. Combinations are the order of the day. The introduction of steam, the multiplicity of railroads on land and of steam ships on sea have brought every part of our 1 own country into close communication, established broad higliways of commerce leading to the most distant and populous nations of the earth, and made vast business enterprises possible and necessary. There is an opening on every hand for busint ss on a scale for which one man’s money—however rich that man may be—is entirely in adequate. The manufacturer is no longer compelled to study the wants of a little neighborhood, extending for Only a few miles around him. but he looks abroad upon the continent and stretches his vision across the oceans and discovers a market which is circumscribed only by the limits set to the human race. Even the retail merchant is no longer dependent on his next door neighbors for support, but if he is a man of spirit and enterprise he may send his goods into neighboring counties and even into distant towns and sell them under the very eyes of less per severing and enterprising competi tors; and every man who creates anything of use to the poorest mao on earth, may’throw it into the great channels of trade with the assurance that it, and the man who wants it, will come together. The spirit of the times is exercis ing its influence on social life. The time was when the grade of society prevailing in localities determined their desirableness or undesirabless as places of habitation. Now, if the society surrounding a man’s home does not suit his wife and daughters, they can easily ignore it and select congenial associates from the coun try at large. Friends and associates who live hundreds of miles apart, ^>rie another in social inter- !ndsi £= often and as easily people used to-d f >. who occupied adjoining farms. There are many serious questions that arise out of a contemplation by a thoughtful mind of all these vast changes that have come and are still coming. What is all this progress doing for the individual man? Do peoole on an average enjoy life more than they did when their habits were simple, their wants few, and when the avenues to wealth and luxury had not been unbarred to charm their eyes with a glimpse of heaps of glittering treasure and to stimulate their emergies to a degree of morbid intensity with gorgeous dreams of wealth and power? Is the standard of honor as high as it was? Does in tellectual and religious culture keep step with this rapid march of ma teria! progress? Is the average boy of today more likely to become a man of solid integrity, of uncompro raising honor, of unflinching patriot ism, than was the boy of fifty years ago? Are the conditions more favor able for the development of a pure, exalted, gentle, redoing womanhood, than they were in the times of our mothers and grandmothers? There is much in the situation to invite reflection and investigation? The questions we have asked are only a few of the many that might be asked, all difficult to answer satis factorily. For ourself we do not at tempt to answer them. It would take a mind with the penetrating power and wide grasp of the ablest philosopher to compass fully the subject in all its bearings and to fo.'miilute clear and conclusive an swers. We only know that sucli questions as we have suggested are worthy of the serious consideration of every man who is earnestly seek ing the greatest, real good for himself and family. The country cannot af- The assasin of Goebel in Kentucky has not yet been arrested, tiiough a reward of .fl00,000 is waiting for the man or men who may run him down.

Jesso. There is always something to menace pros- perity, especially Republican pros perity in South Carolina. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is cow time for planting corn, and there have hardly been three days for plowing since Christmas. The latter part of the winter was severe, and the spring is unusually backward. The oat crop has been seriously damaged, in many places destroyed, and it is now too late for spring sowing. Fruit is still to a large extent in the bud, and there is hope of a good crop. The farmer’s life is like the course of true love; it newer runs smooth. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Some of our correspondents, as it has I era seen, have been considera bly exercised on the subject of com pulsory education. We wish to re- n ind them tint there is a pretty lively system of compulsory taxation in operation in South Carolina for sc hoc 1 purposes, and the majority of people seem to be delighted with it. When grown people are compelled to furnish the education, why not com pel the children to take it? What will become of it if they won’t have it? The recent financial bill passed by congress, establishes the gold stand ard for a long time to come. There is no use in the world for any more talk about free silver. If the Demo cratic leaders are wise they will knock this plank out of their plat form aod stood squarely on low tar iff, free competition in business and anti-imperialism.' On such a plat form they would bavea fighting chance for success. Otherwise the fool killers will turn out next Novem ber in full force. v PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Local Items Too Short for 11 Head Grouped Together. We hear of a few plows being star ted, but prudent farmers say the ground is still too wet. W. J. Muness and family have moved from his their home on Lime stone street, to a neat cottage on Logan street. Quite a number of farmers of Lat- timore, N.

Fortinberry, who has been working as blacksmith so long with Capt. W. H. Richardson, has recently accepted a similar position with the Cherokee Foundry and Machine Shop Company. We were shown on Wednesday a sample of the leather being made at Sarratt A Son’s .tannery at Limestone Springs. It seems perfect in every respect and is the precursor of a flourishing new industry in Gaffney. In the last three weeks three men have been killed by other men in Greenville county—one shot to death, one cut to death, and one struck down with a clubbed gun. Each of the three men killed was drunk. Each of the deaths was caused by liquor.—Exchange. During the fair days of this week, the ground being too wet to plow, the streets have been full of farm wagons hauling fertilizers to the farms. Wo trust that this does not indicate in creased acreage in cotton to be sold at live cents next fall, hut that much of it will be used Lr com. Mr J. W. Rianton who was elected to a position on the police force de clined this place and the council tilled it hy electing Mr. A. L. Holl- man. Mr. Jlollnian has served a longtime on the force and has been one of its most efficient men. His many friends are now congratulating themselves and the city generally on again securing his services. Keep Trying. There are several methods, any one of which might be used with benefit to let the world know the natural advantages of our town and emmty. Organization for that purpose is the first necessary move, then it can decide on the method to be used. How would R do to organize a pro gressive association here and let that association establish a bureau of information, and put in charge of that bureau one of our progressive young men whose information, gem.-ral iu- teligence and public spirit will suit him for his work. Then let our peo ple both, in town and county, place important facts in his posession and make it his duty to put them in a concise form and let them be pub lished. say quarterly, by the associa tion in an attractive pamphlet which can be placed where it will do most good. Ry this method the associa tion’s work will, under the direction of the association, be placed in one young man’s hands, who will have common'interest with his associates and the additional incentive of self pride to make it what it was intended to be. It seems to us, that the above plan would work well, but others would do so too, and we are sure that • if our people would organize for work and press their work with vigor a plan will be evolved that will Jbe of lasting good. ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. Ke- Alxxit Cow Food. ICorohna Spartan.] Some one recently made inquiry as to the best forage crop to plant in the spring for a cow on a small lot of land. It is now too lute to sow oats or rye. There is nothing that can be planted now that will give good green food before July. Rut the best plan is to lay off rows about three feet apart, plant a little of early corn let ting it stand a foot apart in the drill. At the same time plant a few rows of amber cane and a few rows of the later sorghum. The corn will make roasting ears for the family if the ground is rich and well cultivated. The stalks, cobs and shucks out up will make food for the cow. The sor ghum should ho cut soon after head ing out when the seeds are in the milk state. That should be cut in short pieces. Then if a few rows of cat-tail millet ure planted in rich soil, rows thirty to thirty-six inches apart, good feed will be produced. This should be cut when sixteen to twenty- four inches high. Several cuttings may be made during the season. Surplus garden vegetables also make good food for the cow. A Dig quilting. We were invited over to help Mrs D. F. L. Turner quilt, and as the day was so pleasant we went. We had hands enough to get both quilts out. For dinner we hud everything that was good to eat and we all proved that we thousrht Mrs. Turner a good cook by doing justice to it. Every one seemed to enjoy the day. The girls sang some pretty songs and spoke of the preachers they liked best. Rut while I enjoyed the conversa tion, the songs, the helping to quilt and the nice dinner, J must say what I enjoyed most was. during the day the question was asked, “Will there be any young people here tonight? The answer was very emphatic, “No 8ir! no frolic here tonight.*' My heart’s reply was a great big “Amen" and 1 felt like saying “Well said, give us another quilting, Mrs. Turner, or another good dinner, with- iiUiui Even l)rl|fht , n‘DferTTSfr-f* -SP as llopi-lt'K).. *' If you are suffering from kidney* bladder or uric acid. trouble, and have despaired of getting help, you should try Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. Every reader of The Ledger may obtain a sample bot tle free by mail, so you may test it for yourself and ful.y realize the truth of what your friends ar.d fel low citizens say as regards its marve lous efficacy and worth. Dr, Kilmer’s Swamp-Root has been tried and tested by thousands who stand high in this community. It is not recommended for everything, but if you have kidney, bladder or uric acid trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It brings buck the rosy Hush of health and strength ; it is a purifier and rebuilder, and is a boon to the weak and ailing.

Even those in ad vanced stages have been rescued and life prolonged hy Swamp-Root. This great remedy is purely vege table and contains nothing that could harm the most delicate child.

The present method of working the public roads, while it does much temporary good, has proven that the benefits are not of very long duration, and that much of the work has to be repeated every year. This method would not bo practiced long on any private enterprise, for business principles would not suggest the ex penditure of so much time, labor and money on any thing that could be used only one year before it would be necessary to make the same expen diture in order to keep it in proper working condition. It will be absolutely necessary for some years for much of this tem porary work to be done, but we think our county commissioners would do well to begin to consider the per manent road question and to, as much as is possible, use the county chain- gang to build them. We have a prudent, conservative and sagacious supervisor, and Ins associates, the county commissioners, are equaly able. Tins makes them as good a body of officers to inaugurate the building of permanent roads as the county is likely to ever have. They know when such work is most needed, and can with the ^bain-gang build a few miles of such roads every year, which would rot have to be worked over the next yearv Thus the num ber of miles of road to be worked would be gradually reduced, and it would surprise the most incredulous to see how rapidly permanent roads would be increased in the county. In a very few years their extent and the benefits derived from them would prove the movement practical and convert us all into supporting it, and make Cherokee county the banner county of the state. Mm. .). D. McCollougli Dead. Mrs. J. D. McCullough, wife of Rev. Dr. J. D McCollough, died at her home in Walhalla on Wednesday morning after a protracted illness. She was about seventy years of age and leaves a husband, twelve children and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn her demise. The deceased lady and her pious husband were residents of Spartan burg for a long number of years in tho past. Dr. McColiough founded the St. John’s College here and gave some very valuable property to this institution, which is a thing of the past. Mrs. McCollough was a pure, consecrated Christian lady and her death will be mourned by many. u and Pimples e Warning.

To ne/lect to purify the blood at this time means more than the annoyance of painful boils and unsightly pimples. If these impurities are allowed to remain, the system succumbs to any ordinary illness, and is unable to withstand the many ailments which are so prevalent during spring and summer. Mrs L.

If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the hear? is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble.
