NOTKS ANO COM HUNTS.* They say that the war in the Phil ippines is over and that Aguinaldo is dead, yet it cannot be denied that we have still a large army there, or what was a large army when it went there—that a few days ago an Ameri can garrison of thirty odd men was surprised and cut to pieces—that a day or two later a reconnoitering party from the ‘20th infantry on tire island of Panay was attacked and four Americans were killed and sixteen severely wounded. These are rather unusual operations to take place un der a dead leader in a time of pro found peace. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Many an old Confederate will in dulge in a sarcastic smile when he reads a dispatch from Lord Roberts to the War office in London announc ing that General Hamilton had gained important victories over the Boc-rs. having fought them seven days out of ten, and killed twelve of them and wounded forty more. As if fearful that such astounding results would be discredited at the War of fice, “me Lord” ad is that the Boers themselves admit these losses. The old Confederate who formerly did business under Lee and Jackson will wonder if this is what you call war nowadays. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The lectures of Hr. E. J. Forrester delivered before the students of Lime- stome College last Thursday evening and Friday afternoon were the literary feasts of the season. And they were far more than literary. They were thoughtful, scholarly, philosophical, wide in conception and pure, pointed and powerful in expres sion. The distinguished lecturer gave his hearers something to broaden their views, to deepen their convictions of grand truths, and to stir their hearts with nobler impulses and loftier aspirations. We mean no disparagement to the paid lectures that Lave been delivered in (ialfney during the winter, when wc say that measured by their power of produc ing solid, beneficial results ihese lectures of Dr. Forrester’s were worth them all. We cannot but feel that it was unfortunate that so few of the people of Gaffney heard them ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is to be hoped that the national democratic party will have sense enough not to allow itself divided over dead issues by republican emis saries.

Never did an unlucky gurabier play more elfect- ually into the hand of his opponent than the party by such foliy will play into the hand of William Mc Kinley. Ridiculous old Dewey who cun be made a cal’s paw for any fac tion that can siiout the loudest as he passes in procession, or stare the blankest as he sits on a grand stand, will be brought out by republicans or republican *yaipathjzt.rs as the can didate for gold democrats, and we ■ball have another such a mess as we bad four years'ago and another such a decisive and humiliating defeat. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The most horrible mine disasle* of the century occurred in the Kcofitdd mine in Utah one day lust week in which over 300 men lost their lives. ii.st., promises to be up to former ones in grandeur, and p< rhaps larger in a t mdance, titan anj t ul will ever occur a^ain.

G n. Walker commanding the S. G.

The route will be via Asheville and Kn^xviUe. The Colonel of the Cherokee Regiment expects to attend and would be glad to meet all who can go from Chero kee at ripartanburg at the time stated.

E. John ston on last Fr.diy, was one of the most deplorable tragedies that has b«en enacted in our State in u long time. Mr. Bellinger was court stenographer of the circuit and be longed to a family of high social po sition, while his slayer is a Baptist preacher hitherto of good standing in his denomination. That two such men should fall out and go to shoot ing at each other over such a trivial matter as the painting of a yard fence, would justify the exclamation cf Mark Antomy: “Oh! judgment thou art fled to brutish beasts and men have lost their reason!” We know nothing of the particulars ex cept as they have been announced in the dispatches, but we do know tha a man’s life ought to be more pre cious than any yard fence in the State, and that j let a little tact, for bearance, and common sense exer cised at the proper moment would prevent all such horrors and all the darkness and sorrow that follow in their wake. We recognize the fact that a preacher is also u man and lias the rights and privi.;*ges that any other man has, even to the extent of defending himself with death-dealing weapons if absolutely necessary; but at the same time we hold that if ary man is morally bound to put a strong curb on his passions, to cherish a conciliating spirit, and to practice forbearance towards his fel low men, the preacher, from the v. ry nature of his calling, is e:n; hati- cally that man. We hold further that the man who will do these things will raiely find it necessary to dye hts hands in human blood. We trust, for the honor of Christian ma ) hood, that Mr. Johnston will bo able to show that nothing short of his own life and the welfare of Lis own family was at stake when he pulled the trigger of that deadly shot gun. THE STAGE MANAGER: BLACKSMITHS’ APRONS. A Itirttiday Uiunr.r. Lsst Sunday was the fortieth birth day of James Edwards Waters. '1 lie dav was all that could be desired; beautiful day of sunshine with only it gentle breeze now and then. The guests began to arrive at ! 1 o’clock and dinner was to bo served at one, ai d when the clock was announcing the time the word was given, “dinner is ready,” I will right here say if u table could be made to groan, that table would have cried out eUough! enough 1 long before it was all put on it. When we looked over the table at the pies, cakes, jollies, pre serves, pickles and all kinds of meals, we are ready to say we can’t now. now didn’t then, do justice to the dinner, but some of us did a little injustice to ourselves by eating rather hearty. But the best of all, the good wife bud had respect for Sunday arid prepared nearly all the day before. About forty were present and all left hoping to be at many of Eddie’s birthday dinners. Borne of the relatives and friends were from Cowpens, Gaffney and Bpartan'surg. May we all live to meet uvain A ro.ru:i-roo* Came.

The Hard Time He Has When He !■ MauutfinK For a Repertory Coinpa- u)—The Aiinoyaneea That Attend the Xunieroim Rehenrsnia. “The public knows nothing at all of the hardships of a stage manager,” confided an actor to a reporter. “Rep ertory companies generally close their engagements about the midtile of May and from that time until the first or middle of August do nothing. Then they begin rehearsals, two a day. It is then that the hardships of the stage manager begin. The whole repertory of the company is thrown upon him in a heap, and he is compelled to sit up into the small hours of the morning preparing the plays for rehearsal the next day. He takes the manuscript as it comes to him. The manager of the company tells him that there are so many ladies, usually three, and so many gentlemen, usually live, to play the drama. But when the stage man ager looks into the play he finds eight or ten male characters and possibly four or five female. But of course he is a genius and can (ix up such a little thing as that all right. He goes to work. He has one man play two or three parts; another speaks the lines of two or more characters as one. Then he draws Ids lead pencil through other lines. The play Is all cut up and chopped to pieces, but don’t blame him. lie can’t help it. There are only three women and live men to play It. “He thinks he lias done Ids w*ork well. He lays that play aside and takes up another, using his blue pencil and cutting and doubling up characters as in the first. These two plays are then ready for rehearsal. “But he has no sooner said this to himself than a low rumbling sound is heard in the east. That Is the author of the play turning over in his grave. “The stage manager puts the hashed up manuscript under his pillow, think ing that will retain Ids ideas of a mas terly production. Actors are all super stitions even In small matters, but that rumbling sound keeps up until day- llg it. He dreams—dreams many differ- cn dreams, but they are all to one point, and that is of his skill in improv- Irg upon the author. ‘Then he comes to the rehearsal next d i.v a veritable crosspatcli. The first i dicarsal is slow and monotonous to i .1 concerned. It Is a mere reading re- i ,arsnl whereby the east locate their I ositions and get an idea of the parts they are about to interpret. They usu ally run through about two or three acts and reserve the rest until after dinner, when they finish that play and start upon another. They have ’first rehearsals’ of about three plays and then go hack to the first. They are generally called for 10 o’clock, but of course iu all communities and organi zations there are stragglers who are oblivious to the rights of others. The stage manager is mad. Rehearsal starts. The man who opens the scene comes in at the Arong place, and the stage manager says, ‘I told you so and so.’ to which the actor replies, T for got.’ “Thus it Is ail the way through the play. Each actor or actress Is trou- bled with defective memory. The stage manager is mad. “At tin? third rehearsal they are ex pected to know their parts. But no matter how well a person knows his part fully two-thirds of the time he will have to he calk'd when his cue comes. He Is off smoking or telling what a hit he has made in such ami such a part or is criticising the stage manager's ideas of stage business—in some inanner airing his own ideas to the discomfiture of the others. “And the ladies are always off in the wings, paying no attention t< the re hearsal. Their conversation Is usually about dress. The stage manager Is more annoyed by the nonattention of the Indies than of the gentlemen, for to the Lillies he must always he co'ur- tcous. while to the gentlemen he some times uses language which is too point ed to breed respect and good feeling. “As to the study of the lines, every actor can tel! a funny story. They gen erally study their parts in their rooms at the hotel. Of course they study aloud, ami the man Iu the next room thinks he has a crazy man for a neigh bor. “Soon the opening night comes, ami the actors go to the theater to win fresh laurels and each to regulate the others In their respective parts. The first night always goes smoothly. “There the abominable rehearsals keep up for four weeks whether needed or not. There is only one thing that will arouse the ire of a comedian more than an extra rehearsal after these four weeks are up—that Is to have some of Ids ‘horseplay’ cut out.”— Omaha World- H era Id. A Legend Which I'.xplnins Why They Are Aiwa;, a \otehed. The teacher of forging at the Manual Training High school. James Yule, told a story to his pupils .which was report ed as follows by the Indianapolis News. “Boys.” s aid the teacher, “you have all Be tn Uemhr.iudl Steele's decorative work, the blacksmith with the edges of bis leathern apron n Ached. There’s probably not one blacksmith iu a hun dred who knows why the apron is notched, and yet every blacksmith fix es his apron in this way. whether in America. England, Germany. France. Spain or Mexico. “When I was a boy iu England, where 1 learned my trade as black smith. when 1 got my first apron I sat down ami with my knife began to notch the edges. One of the older men, seeing me at work, knife iu hand, ask ed me if I knew what I was doing an 1 why I was doing it. I replied that I was doing what I had seen the other smiths do. Then he told me this leg end : “Once upon a time a king of England gave a great feast, to which he invited the masters of tin* various crafts in his kingdom. After they were seated at the table the king, passing from one to another, talked with them, asking questions as to their handiwork. At the head of the table sat the tailor, dressed in his best and looking very. | very proud in his line attire. “In answer to the king's inquiry as j to his trade he said: ‘1 am the tailor. ! I make the king's robes of state ami j the suits for his iiawking and hunting.’ ; “‘With what dost thou do these grand things?’ asked the king. “‘With shears and needle.’ said the tailor. “‘And who makes those rare tools for thee?' asked tla* king. “‘The blacksmith,’ answered the tailor. “Then the king, passing along the table, spoke to the carpenter, to the bricklayer, the mason and to other craftsmen. Each one told of the work he did for the king. But these, as did the others, acknowledged that it was the blacksmith who made the tools with which they did their work. “At last the king came to the black smith. modestly stalled at the very foot of the table, not clothed in as good ap parel as the other craftsmen, hut with a smutched face ami a grimy leathern apron. ‘‘‘Ho. ho!’ said his majesty as the blacksmith rose in an awkward way. for he had no acquaintance with the ! manners of the court. ‘What dost thou ' make for thy king?' “ 'I make your armor and your sword when you go to war for the honor of , the kingdom.' siammered the smith. “‘Yes.’ said the king, ‘ami thou mak- est the sharp points to the arrows of my stout longbows and the heads to j my spears and hattleaxes. More than , that—without thee there would he no ! tools for these craftsmen.’ ‘‘The king then took the blacksmith ; by the ham!. His blushes could even j la* secti through the smudge on his face. ami. moving the tailor down to tie foot, the king placed him at the head of the table. “The tailor alone of ail the craftsmen did not like tiiis change of places, ho. watching his chance, while the others were drinking the health of the king In great lingou.; of beer, he slipped under the tabic and with Ids shears cut the edges of the hhieksmith's apron. “And that is the way the blacksmith’s apron came to be notched, and it lias been worn so ever since.” ON A BURNING SHIP.

Hiss Shirk’s father had taken her with him on the schooner Hera, s ailing from Seattle for Honolulu with a general cargo, including 1.000 barrels of lime, which he was advised not to take nt that season of the year. The schooner lefi the strait Nov. 2o and at once ran into a ten ilk* gale. “For 2i hours she was battered by the waves, but kept on her course un til she sprang a huk. which wet the lime and started the fire going.

The .storm increased, and tin* waves dashed over the vessel continually, practically addin fuel to the flames, the entire thousand barrels of iiine getting wet. Miss Shirk was the only woman on board, and ev ery effort was made to conceal the real i danger I'.wi.i her.

The walnut Is at home in the rich alluvial bottom lands of the western streams and in the stony limestone soils of the hills and mountains, and in such localities the buyers have left few trees uusurveyed.
