ABOUT “SPECIFYING.” In last Tuesday’s issue of the Led ger, we mentioned a report to the ef fect that an agent in a neighboring town had been soliciting subscribers to the Greenville News among Re publicans and icpresenting the News ns a Republican paper; whereupon the News retorts as follows: “We are alarmed because we have had no returns from this republican volunteer and if he was having “con siderable success” we would like to know what has become of his suc cess. “Wo are further alarmed by the news tiiat a “neighboring town” to Gaffney has so large a number of republicans seeking “a good, sound, solid republican newspaper” as to constitute “financial success” for anybody. “The truth is the Greenvilie News has, so far as we know, just one re- publiccn subscriber and no republi can soliciting agent. “We are compelled to ask the Gaff ney Ledger to give names, date and place to support what it “happened to hear.” The story as it stands reads like a malicious and mean at tempt to do injury by direct false hood, for we can imagine no circum stance that gave foundation for it. The Ledger can acquit itself by giv ing the source of what it “happened to hear” and the particulars. When we come to these wo will soon be able to learn how this story started and who started it and why.” We take pleasure in saying to the Greenville News that we had no idea of alarming it by relating the little bit ofpnformation'that came into our possession. If we had suspected that such a relation would prove a shock to the nervous sensibility of the News, we would either have for borne to repeat what we had heard or should have endeavored by the em- j ioyment of euphemisms andcircum- !< cutibns to mitigate the force of the revelation. We can now, however, only say that our informant is a man whose word will not be questioned by any one who knows him and that his name can be had at this office, not for publication without his consent nor for the gratification of mere curiosity, but only on condifion that a knowledge.of the name be neces sary to the equanimity and well be ing of the News. When the News intimates that we have engaged in any “mean, malic ious plot” for the purpose of injuring it, it is as unjust as it is ungener ous, discourteous, and unkind ; and when it starts out to trace up re ports concerning the complexion of its politics, it reminds us of a high- toned, spirited young man of our ac quaintance who will get conspicuous ly and gloriously drunk in the pres ence of five hundred people, and af ter sobering up will spend several days in tracing up the reports that Ids conduct put into circulation The Greenville News has been for some time publishing its political views to the world, and so far as we have been able to observe, has endorsed every measure of the McKinley admin istration and proclaimed itself in close sympathy with the whole policy of the Republican party and hostile to all who are opposed to that policy. All this the Greenville News has had a perfect right to do. Rut it has no right to pursue such a course and at the same time claim to be a demo crat. The man who believes in Re publican doctrines is a Republican, and he had as well call a little rut terrier a St. Bernard as to call him self a Democrat. NOTES AND COMMENTS. We do not believe that a majority of the people in South Carolina urp in favor of the enormous yearly ap propriations to the five State colleges. These appropriations are so out of proportion to the common school fund, so fur beyond the demands of any existing necessity, so at variance with every principle of justice and expediency, that thoughtful, fair- minded, impartial people cannot en dorse them. V We know men worth $:!0,000 in clear clean cash whose song and daughters are being educated us beneficiaries in our State colleges. Wo infer that there are hundreds of euch whom we do not know. In fact we hardly believe that any tui tion is collected at all in Clemson or Winthrop. Yet these pupils cost the State over $200 apiece every year, and a large part of the money is raised by a tax on fertilizers which nobody but farmers uses. Therefore a large part of the money spent on rich men’s sons and daughters comes directly from the farmers. It seems to us that anybody can seo this and understand it. And yet farmers continue to send men to the Legisla ture who vote for these appropria tions. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We hope the executive committee mwill abolish the State catn- pt' ! gn. There is only one politi cal party in this State to cut any figure in the election, and there are no questions of moment to be dis cussed, except such as the people already are well acquainted with. If there were such questions, it is doubtful if the people could get the right kind of information in regard to them from candidates. Your average candidate is a special pleader for himself and usually possesses a very small stock of niformation in regard to anything tiiat is not im mediately connected with his own interest. These State campaigns were instituted on the plea that they were necessary as a means of politi cal education. Their influence lias been more like that of the bear gar den and the hippodrome than that of u school of sound political instruc tion. Many people have been utterly disgusted with them and not one- fourth of the voters will again turn out, under ordinary circumstances, to witness the performances. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We have been told on good authori ty that there was hardly a day dur ing the last session of our Legisla ture tiiat some officer of some one of the State colleges was not in Colum bia lobbying in the money interest of his college. Such zeal and perti nacity as these presidents and profes sors exhibited, to the great disgust of some of our honest, high-minded leg islators, perhaps ought to puss for unselfish devotion to the cause of education ; but for the life of us we can’t help from remotely P.nd dimly associating with the zeal of these men, the fat salaries and the indefi nite number of perquisites belonging tj the positions which they hold in the State colleges and depending largely for their continuance on State legislation. These dim asso ciations that rise out of our innate depravity and group themselves in misty outlines in our darkened vision may do these learned and zealous lobbyists great injustice. If so, we are sorry, but, gentlemen, you must excuse us, for we can’t keep the birds from Hying over our head. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ I’oor old Admiral Dewey! After long hesitation, much consideration, continued meditation, and profound deliberation, like Calchas at Troy, he has at last broken his silence and de clared that if nothing else will satis fy the American people than for him to be their president, then he will be their president. He admits candidly that he did say at one time that nothing could ever induce him to assume the responsibilities of so important an office, but solicitations have been so constant and urgent, that if he were to adhere to his origi nal determination he would not be true to his country. He really ought not to b6 censured for chang ing his mind. Many pure, disinter ested patriots have changed their minds. Ren Tillman in this 'State avowed that he would never degrade his manhood by accepting office. Yet he changed his mind and worked hard for office and got it. We have not heard what became of his man hood. It is a sad thing for a man to get in the way of his own fame—to out live himself. We should like to re- remember Dewey as the hero of Manila, and not as a vain, silly, ridiculous old dotard. The Latbernn Cbarph. The Rev. J. R. Itemensnyder of New York city snys that in 18U9 Presbyte rians. Reformed, Baptists and Metho dists lost from 1 to 2 per cent, while the Episcopalians gained 0 per cent, and of the seven principal Protestant denominations the Lutherans led all others, with n gain of 14 per cent. In financial matters the Episcopalians, Congregational Isis and Methodists show n falling off, while the Lutherans show the largest Increase—viz, $111.- 000. In the city of New York the Episcopal and Lutheran churches were the only denominations that made any gain, and of these two the Lutheran church made relatively the greater gain. “The Lutheran church," he adds, “is simply reaping the reward of con servative methods and of even, regu lar. painstaking Christian work. Re lying upon the faithful use of the Word and sacraments ns the all potent means of grace, the Holy Spirit la working through and blessing her agencies. Thus she experiences a con tinued revival „£roin week to week through the ordinary services of the house of God.” How's ThU?

She is gradually wearing out. Those who took the trouble to look saw a beautiful sight in the western sky last Tuesday night about eleven o’clock. It was Venus and the moon passing each other. Dr. J. H. Thornwell, D. D., lias been appointed Chaplain General for the S. C. Division U. C. Veterans. Mrs. Sallie Foster visited us last Tuesday. She, we are glad to say, is recovering from her severe shock. Your correspondent spent a few hours in Hickory Grove last Monday. Farmers on the York side are pushing their work with all possible speed. The York county chain gang bus done a splendid job on the hill at Howell’s ferry. Miss Alice Miller, the teacher at Sunnyside, went home yesterday fora few days rest on account of ill health. Sweet potatoe seed—home raised— are very scarce in this section, and there is a considerable demand for them. The Ladies’ Memorial Association will hold their annual meeting at Salem about the 10th of May. The speaker for the occasion hasn’t yet been selected. Messrs. J. L. Moorehead, Joseph Thomas and B. K. llames answered our problem in last Friday’s Ledger. The tenant ought to get forty bushels of wheat instead of twenty. The communion meeting at Salem church was largely attended last Sab bath. Elder 0. VV. Whisonant was elected as delegate to attend the meeting of the Enoree Presbytery of Greenville on the 10th inst. Little Hubot, son of Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Goforth, whose illness we have so often reported in these columns, is able to be up and about. Mr. Sam Lee has been quite sick for a few days with la grippe. J. \V. Alexander, Esq., of Lawn, has been closely confined to his bed for some days with la grippe. He complains that his wounded leg is hurting him more than usual. An old darkey philosophizes some what after this style: “De trouble am—ef you gib all your goods to feed the po’, de po’ will git so rich dat da won’t reckernize you any mo’.” “De reason some folks want to go to hebben is becase dars so much gold dar—nutting else.” Some people say they can’t write for a paper. This is all nonsense. They ought to show the management that they can keep up with The Led ger in its advancement. Send in your letters young friends and let us hear from you and your section. A Gettysburg, Pa., correspondent makes this statement, which we want all the world of mankind to know. It might cause some hearts in South Carolina to rejoice in case Sherman’s soldiers would do likewise. Here’s what he says: “A curious story of a man with a conscience is being told by the post master of Fairfield, a village about seven miles from this place. “The postmaster says that a few days ago he received a letter from a Confederate verteran, in which the veteran says that he was in the battle of Gettysburg, and that on the retreat from Gettysburg he was one of the party who forcibly and, as he now thinks, illegally took some dry goods stored away in a little village, whose name he thinks is Fairfield. He says that the village was not many miles from Gettysburg and in the line of march of Lee’s retreat. “In the letter he asked the post master, if possible, to find the name of the owner of the little stock of goods that was taken by some Con federate soldiers. The pastmaster located the place from which the goods were taken and sent the soldier the name of the injured person. “A few days ago the postmaster received a check for $15, which the old soldier thought would make amends for his part of the transac tion and at the Kame time relieve his conscience of a load which it has been carrying for twenty-seven years.” Three farmers, A B and C, went on their way to town. A had 50 bushels of corn, B hud 30 and C had 10. They went to town and ail sold their corn at the same prices, and strage to say each one received the same amount of money for ids corn. How is that? The Ledger will answer in two weeks. We had the pleasure of meeting on the street at Gaffney last Saturday, our venerable friend, Mr. Jonathan Moore, of the Buffalo section. He is 81 years of age. Besides being one of the oldest men in Cherokee county, he is one of its very best citizens. He moves with an elastic step, as if many more years might be added to his life. j. l. s. Hickory Grove Happening!!. .Correspondence oi The Ledger.) Hickory Grove. April 2 —The A. R. P. Church at this place has been without a pastor for several months, but fortunately we have one at last, the Rov. J. L. Oates. He is a fine preacher. He preached his first ser mon on lasttSabbath week, but owing to the inclemency of the weather the congregation was small. Rev. VV. V. Moss preached on Sat urday evening at Unity Baptist Church. Rev. R. W. Barber preached at Mt. Vernon Methodist church on Sabbath morning. Rev. J. P. Marion, of the Presbyte rian church, preached last Sabbath evening. Rev. A. J. Hensley preached on Sabbath night at the Baptist church at this place. The trestle one and a half miles from hereon Buffalo creek was partly burned on Sabbath morning. As soon as word was despatched to Blacksburg an engine and crew were sent down and it was put in good shape again by 3 o’clock Monday morning. It is supposed to have caught from a passing freight on Saturday night. It was not discov ered until !) o’clock Sabbath morning. A quantity of fertilizer is being hauled from here, and com by the wagon lodd. The chaingang is still here but will move in a few days. Ran. WEATHER MAN’S TROUBLES. Called Upon In All Sorts of Salts to Tell How the Wind Blew. That was a funny story about Abo Lincoln and the old almanac. V wit ness In the case testified to seeing somebody do something with some thing else on a certain night by tho light of the moon. Mr. Lincoln, attor ney on tho other side, fished out an ad vertisement for somebody’s liver regu lator and proved the man was seven kinds of a liar because it was the dark of the moon. Maybe the dodge was not original with the old rail splitter, but certainly It Is an important detail in the law practice of today. The government weather bureau might well lie styled the "Public Witness association.” It Is everlastingly being hauled Into court. Six eases in January, fit! cases In the last three terms of last year, is the record for Government Weather Observer Connor. They got him down there to tell what sort of a day It was. And he turns up some funny things, does this grave young man who is getting bald on top and who has to mat ids hair to cover ids cranium. “Yes, sir.” he said with never a smile, looking for all the world as if lie were sorry it happened, “would you believe it, they bad me down there one day to swear in a case what way the wind was blowing at a certain hour of the daj’? And what do you thiuk they proved by me?” The observer merely put tiiat ques tion through custom, for ids face iu converse on matters meteorological is tantalizingly Inexpressive. “What do you tldnk they tried to prove by me? A farmer had sued a railroad for the loss of ids barn by fire, lie saying it was a spark from an engine did It. The attorney made me prove the wind was blowing to the north at the rate of 17 miles an hour. The farmer had proved ids barn was on the south.” It Is getting to be a regular fad to get the observer into court Ho goes down to the four courts with the same resignation tiiat he climbs to the roof of the Rialto building. “If there is a sewer contractor four days late in finishing Ids work, the city refuses to pay him. He sues, aud they nab me. Yes, sir, they nab me first thing.” “Then what do they do with you?” “What do they do with me? They make me tell them how often it rained and how much rain there was on a certain day and every time Providence interfered—of course, we have it all down on the record to the hour aud the trace. Tiiat is what they do with me. “There was a man putting in a shop front, a new one, a big plate glass busi ness. lie had to have it done on a Friday night, but he was still sticking putty in next morning. Away went the merchant's chance for Saturday trade, aud they went to law. Tiiat Isn’t the worst of it. They came up here, the window men did. I had to trot away down to Independence and swear the elements were at work, and then the glass man convinced the jury lie was not to blame, but the weather was.” Contractors make public plunder of the government weather bureau. There is scarcely a suit arising over the time clause in any contract made but the de partment is taken into court. There Is no getting out of It. The subpoena is issued, a deputy sheriff serves it, and away goes the dignified slightly- eolder • in-winter - followed - by-spriug- gentleman. , He lias testified iu about 20 sewer cases, 11 foundation excavations, a score of plastering cases—to prove the weather was too cold for the proper maturing of the plaster—aud iu the ease of frozen fruit. Thus are odd uses found for a very matter of fact government depart ment.—Kansas City Journal. How Oleomaricnrlne !■ Made, Margarine was first prepared by M. Mege Mouries. In this process 1,000 kilograms of ground fat from freshly slaughtered cattle is mixed with fiOO kilograms of water, one kilogram of potassium carbonate and two sheep’s or pigs’ stomachs cut Into pieces and heated at 43 degrees C. by steam for two hours. The fat rises and, after being skimmed, is ruu off and heated at from SO to 40 degrees C„ with 2 per cent of salt, the clear fat being then poured off from the sediment and cool ed at from 20 to 23 degrees C. The granular solid product is cut in to pieces, packed into linen and ex posed to hydraulic pressure at about 25 degrees C„ with the production of a solid cake of stearin and a liquid oleo margarine, which is passed through cylinders and washed by a shower of water. Of the melted oleomargarine CO kilograms Is mixed with 25 liters of cows' milk and 25 kilograms of water In which has been macerated 100 grains of finely ground mammary gland of the cow. Annotto is added aud the whole churned for about two hours and the product kneaded and washed. In the method employed In the Unit ed States, Austria and some parts of Germany pepsin is not added, the orig inal finely ground fat being subjected to a temperature below 50 degrees C. for some time. The oleomargarine is mixed with sour milk aud a small quantity of bicarbonate of soda aud annotto and is churned. After about 13 minutes it is cooled in Ice and then kneaded to eliminate the water, then return d with more sour milk and Is ready for sale. Armpr In an article Iq Nature on ,f Armor Plates” Mr. Iladfleld says It was ow ing to the enterprise of the American, Harvey, that It was found possible to take soft steel plates and carburize; them by the cementation process, so that steel plates were obtained with) faces containing considerable percent ages of carbon, up to 70 or 80 per cent, i while the rear still retained Its original | soft and tough coudltlon. Such a plate, after being treated aud quenched in water, either wholly or on the hard side, then possessed a hard surface, against which a shot broke into frag ments. Further improvemeuts were introduced at Krupp’s Essen works,, carburizing the surface by mcuus of 1 gas cemeutatluu instead of cbnrcoal. i The latest type of hard faced plates possesses about twice the resistance of the older type of plates. Tills enables! a great saving to be effected in the Weight of uriuor to be used for the pro tection of the modern warship. A VAST PLACER MINE. ' Brltlah Columbia Claliua I he l.uraeiti Due Iu <lie Worlil. “Yes,” said J. II. Patrick, ,from the Caribou Hydraulic Mining company's mine ou the Quesnellu river, British Columbia, “I guess I nm with tho big gest gold placer mine iu the world. At least 1 never heard of a bigger one. One hundred and twenty whites and as many Chinese and Japs are employ ed during the working season. The face of the hill iu which the gold is ( found Is between 350 and 400 feet high, 120 yards wide at the bottom, and the 1 pay streak Is 120 feet thick. The wa-! ter supply comes from two lakes, the larger 19 miles away, the smaller ten miles away. Dams have been put in, raising the level of the lakes 8 feetl and 40 feet respectively. The water is brought down to a point above the mine in di.tehes, whence it is run Into two 30 iueli pipes, contracting to ninel inches at the nozzle, with a fall of 420; feet. The tremendous head throws a solid nine Inch stream of water 300 feet before it sprays, and Its effect up on the face of the hill is like a tornado 1 in a wooden town. This stream of wa ter would cut a man in two like a can non ball, and a Mauser ritle bullet shot ut short range would not penetrate it. “The sluices are 7 feet wide by 5 feet in depth, the size of ordinary sluices being 12 by 8 Indies. We use steel rilfies in these sluices. We used wood before, but the force of the' water and rocks and earth dashing through the sluices wore off blocks a foot thick every five days. “The pay streak runs 23 cents to the ton, and our last clean up lids season, which was for 33 days, showed $100,- 000, or a little over $3,000 a day of 24 hours. This product, which is in the form of ‘shot gold,’ or ‘pinhead gold’ and nuggets, weighing sometimes as high as six ounces each. Is melted up into a brick, which is brought out by the stage company. There Is no risk in bringing the gold through a wild coun try, as the brick ordinarily weighs in the neighborhood of 400 pounds, which the usual road agent would have some difficulty In carrying away. “Will It last? Well, 1 can’t say how long, but it will ruu for 50 years yet ou what Is in sight in the hill they are working, and then they can take anoth er hill. That whole country is full of them, and it only requires capital to make them give up their treasure.”— New York Herald. DO YOU FEEL ...

(Correspondence of The Ledger.) Ashuky, April 3.—The pupils of tho school of Asbury went over to spell against tho Kelton school of Union county March 23rd. Kelcon beat the Asbury school but they are perfectly willing to spell Kelton again at any time, as Asbury claims they boat un fair. It was decided by each judge an unfair beat, and therefore I think they nad better have tho contest over. Let the Kelton spellers come over to the Asbury school, the pupils would be glad to have them come. The teacher of the Kelton school is one that certainly knows how to manage a school, there is no two ways about that. If we would do as we should we could keep the price of cotton up to what it is at present, or make it higher, but it isn’t necessary for one to stop planting cotton and all the rest plant the whole country in it, but let each one reduce their acreage. The wheat in our community is looking very fine, hut I think the oats are reduced to a half stand or less. The Asbury Sunday School is pro gressing nicely. Messrs.

A Tni-tfnl Retort.' “Speaker Henderson,” says Leslie’s Weekly, “is extremely quick at repar tee—almost as noted in tin's regard as his predecessor. Ills shafts, however, lack the biting irony of Mr. Reed’s. At one of Mrs. Henderson’s recent re ceptions there were among the visitors two sisters whoso striking resem blance to each other and their mother is widely commented upon. ‘“How much Mrs. X. and Miss W. look alike!’ remarked the speaker to M rs. Henderson. " ‘Which Is the handsomer! spoke up some one standing r.~ar by, much to the embarrassment of tho women. “Quick as a flas.’i Mr. Henderson; turned to the mother of the women in question, a noted belle in her time and, still a woman of much beauty.
