Et’llOKS I'KOM THE ISE-l'NION. The Confederate re-union at Louis ville, Ky., was the grandest meeting that has taken place in the South since the war. By the second day, the railroads had carried 75.000 peo ple into the city, and this number by the third day had swelled to a round 100,000. Bight on the north ern limit of the Confederacy, in sight of a country once hostile, the (’on- federate veterans assembled by thous ands and tens of thousands and re asserted their loyalty to the cause for which they fought the whole civilized world. The city of Louisville had made grand preparations for tMeir coming. Every street was gay with Hags and streamers, and every house seemed thrown wide open to the assembling hosts. It was a jolly, big-hearted, glorious time. Men embraced each other for the first time in thirty-live years, and others walked arm in arm who had never seen each other be fore in their lives. The Confederate gray and the re-union badges were passports to the hearts as well as to homes. It rained incessantly, and the big parade, for which immense prepara tions had been made, was finally de clared olf. But this did not suit the grizzled warriors, who had once marched through rain and sleet and had fought and slept in trenches knee deep in water. Without any preconcerted arrangements, they as sembled by thousands in different streets and got up parades of their own. As if by instin.’t these de* taolu d Indies in arc lied from differ ent directions into - .h-fi'erson street where the forces were all united, and fot hours they tramp'd past the grand stand on which thous-mds of spectators had assembled. vvl ile cheer answered cheer, and the bunds played liixie Bonnie Mine Flan and My Old Kentucky Homo. As the vanguard passed whore wo were standing we asked a limping vet eran who was shouting at the top of his voice and pushing his legs to keep his place, “What does this mean?” lie replied, “O, we just want to let ’em know that there is some of us yet about. Kail in wherever you please.” One of the most impressive sights that we witnessed and one that re minded us most vividly of the scenes of the old war days, was that of the A. i’. Hill camp from Petersburg, Vu., as it marched the streets. There were at least fiftyjmen in ranks; they were all in gray uniform, armed and equipped with guns and haversacks. There was probably not a man in the company under sixty years of age. Yet they marched with linn and measured tread, with heads erect, marked time to the music, and each one looked every inch a soldier. They were veterans Indeed, and we felt while we looked on and the whole street was ringing with cheers, that wo had rather face a cyclone than stand before these men in battle. Another unique sight was that, of a band of twenty Indians from North Carolina. They were in Indian cos tume, decked with feathers and other ornaments, and marched in a body into the great auditorium and were given a place on the stand The veterans cheered them to the echo as they came in, which seemed to please them greatly. Home of these Indians, we were told, served us scouts in the Confederate army; others served in the ranks. Be it said to the honor of the Con federate soldier that we saw not a single veteran helplessly drunk—not more than a dozen all told who seemed to he at all under the in* fluence of whisky—though the city is full of open bar rooms. We were told that this was in marked con trast to the meeting of the (>. there last Keptomber, when streets were full of drunken men. On Kunday memorial services were held in the auditorium in commemo ration of the ninety-second birth day of Jefferson fiavis. There were about (1,000 people piesent and due honors were paid to the intmury of the dead statesman and hero, (iencral Itcagun, the last surviving member of the Lavis cabinet, spoke of him as “the first, the last, the only president of the invisible, everlasting republic of the Confederate States of America.” We were impressed the whole time we were there with the thought that the principles for which the Conf'd- eracy fought and perished are stranger today than ever before, and the hope of this nation is that they will be recognized and adopted. Another fact forced itself unor us. Afibcinrh the crowd vvi’.s no doubt larger than ha- assembled "t nthei re-unions, the pronortion of veteinn- wus not so large. Tl 16 bulk of it wa- mail? up oi people of a younger gen eration. No one need esk why '■ 1 in vet r.r s are m Ming rapidly nwny. Not many years hence the last one of them will have joined the gnui re-union or; the other side of the river. But perhaps of all that was done, a thing of most immediate interest to the people of Gaffney and many reader’s of The Ledger was the pre amble and resolution introduced by Thomas W. Caawile. commanding the Second Brigade, S. C. Division, and adopted hy a unanimous vote of the whole body. Here it is, as cop ied from the Louisville Courier-Jour nal of June 1st: “The following preamble and reso lution was read by Gen. Thomas W. Carwile and adopted : Whereas, A school of Southern history has heen established in connection with l.irnc- stone female ('ollejte, located at (JafTnoy, S. (’..known as the Winnie Uavis School of History, the name hointr authorized hy the only one living wliohas the authority to hh- t hoi-i/' il: and. Whereas, The ohje t of t his school is to [jay particular at lent ion to Southern history, to stimulate original research, to secure in struction hy im ii t rained in university mi thuds, and tocivatea i-reat deposit try for historical (lornmeats, where Southern yirls may read witli reverence the record of their fathers’ splendid achievements, and where the South may find before the bar of impar tial reason the vindication of the "tent po litical duel rine of tile ripdit of scif-irovoni mi nt for which she fmi;?!it a world inarms; Therefore, he it reso! ved, That tills liody of I'niti d ConlVdcraic Veterans, in convention assembled at l.ouisville. Ky.. do put our in dorsement on the enterprise, and pledge il our i o-npcrution and hearty support. This is the biggest endorsement that the Winnie Davis School of History has yet had, though it has been endorsed hy many of the most eminent men of the i'nited States, and General Carwile has rendered a service to Limestone College and the cause of southern history which will not be forgotten. We served with him in the war and he was as gallant an officer as ever drew a sword. If lie will come to Gaffney our people will show him that they appreciate his eminent services in peace, no less than his brilliant record in war. ETTA JANE ETCHINGS. M r. iiiid >1 n- Koliert .1 Kirby One i.it.se u i.ittle iCtrivsii (itdeneo of Tli Lodge;.) Ivi .a Jam;. June 1 —In compliance ’t.'i your editorial request J her " 1 _ - e » ill drOS; e: !! da with send you the names and ad- peiftons in '.he iai \vi .-l uno win doubtless appreciate a free sam ple copy of your ixc.'lent paper and who, perhaps, will join The Lodger bund From those who see The Ledger oc* asionstlly v.'t hear many pleasant comments—that it is like u letter from dear old home. We regret to state that Mr. and Mrs. Hubert J. Kirby lost their youngest child, Jimmie, yesterday. For several months he had been af flicted, but his parents and frieude thought that the crisis was pretty well over with him when a sudden change came and death soon followed. Mr. and .Mrs. Kirby have a large number of relatives, friends and sym pathizers to whom The L?d 0 r will hear these sad tidings this week. May He who lias said, “Before ye call i will answer; and while ye are yet speaking 1 wiil hear,” comfort the family in their great bereavement. •‘Krc .sin could harm or sorrow fade, Dualli ciuiio w It li tender cure, Tlie opening rose to heaven conveye i And hade It blossom there." , By the way, Mr. Editor, our recent allusions to the blind tiger business lias made the impression that some of our magistrates and their consta bles have been remiss in their duties. We did not refer to them, but to those officers whose business it is under the provisions of the dispen sary I tw to hunt up tlie.se cases, siezo their sleek and prosecute the of fenders. The office of magistrate does not carry with it theduDesof a detective, neither docs that of the deputy. They arc cxpi-c!•'<! to act only upon the sworn affidavit of a prosecutor. The State, or di-pt bnary constable, who gets Ids information the host he can. acts upon il without this prt- cuulionary measure. He swears out ids warrant after he has obtained the facts or worked up Hie case. We would not lie understood as imputing want of official integrity to any of our magistrates. So fur as we know they are all above suspicion. If, however, they, or any of them, patronize blind tigers or wink at the violation of the dispensary law, they are no better than the* tigers them selves—in fact, the worst of tiie two. We would not u-k room for this ex planation were it not tiie ciiso that some magistrates may lie suspected of wanting official fidelity. We are personally acquainted with most, and intimately acquainted with some of Cherokee county’s magistrates and ' have no hesitancy in saying that they are among the most conscientious of ficers in the Stale’- employ, and for that reason, we are prepared tovn. li- catcthcm. j. j,. s.

The Transit Company has agreed to recognize the Tini,m and allow its employes to belong to it, but insists on retaining all the men who have taken the place of striker.. Last week the company agreed to take back I.OUO men at once, 8(10 within 30 days and the others as fast us vuonucies occurred. The strikers insisted that all or none be taken hack and hero the mat ter rests. Additional nonunion men are daily coming to town to run the cars, and the company now claims so many places have been filled that they can only provide places for about 1,000 of the old employes. Gradually the Transit company has resum 'd service on all but two or three of its lines, but is not running the usual numb; r of cars on any one of them and none at night. About-100 deputies were sent out to day to guard the various powerhouses and other Traction company property. The police have made several arrests in eonnectton with the recent assaults on women. Among those aiTested are three young girls, who have confessed that vla y tool: part iu the assault on Miss Dauline Hcsser at Tenth street and Goyer avenue.

Wheat is an excellent crop gen erally, while oats varies greatly, but fulis little, if ut all, below the aver age of former years. Upland corn is small but healthy, and bus good stands. Bottom land corn lias made good growth, but stands are kept- badly broken by the ravages of worms. Early corn is in silk and tassel. The coo! nights retarded the growth of cotton which rs unseasonably small, and also caused it to die on certain soils. Stands are generally full, hut very lousy in places. Cot ton is generally well worked, but a few fields are atiil gra.-sy. Early cotton is putting on forms. Sea-is land needs rain. The weather condi tions at the close of tiie week were very favorable for cotton. The condition of tobacco ranges, from good to very poor, and gener ally the plants are small for the sea- sin, and in Marion County arc but toning. Worms are numerous and damaging. Some fields have been laid by. Rice, truck, gardens, street pota toes, sugar cane and sorghum are do ing well, but were in need of rr.in, which lias been quite copiously sup plied. Fruit prospects, except for apples, continue promising. The shipments of peaches have begun. Many farmers have begun to plant peas in corn fields, which is unusually eariy.

Lii s omu GIRLHOOD, WOMANHOOD AND MOTHERHOOD Are Renovated, Regulated and Restored by the Pelvic Catarrh Remdtly Pe-ru-na. 4 Mrs. E. O. Everly. Mrs. E.C. Everly,503 Diamond Street, Philadelphia, Pa., says: “I feel \vi41, never felt better; thanks for your at- tentioaand Pe-ru-na. I will he glad to Jo all I can in the way of advancing the sale of your valuable medicine. I do think Pe-ru-na tho best medicine I have tried at any time. Since I began taking Pe-ru-na wo have never been without it.” Read what an elderly woman says—a Woman who has passed through all tiie phases, crises and experiences of girl hood, womanhood and motherhoods “I teally believe that every woman in the World ought to have Pe-ru-na on hand all the time; for, if she gets tired, Pe-ru- na refreshe?. her; if she gets nervous, it Boothes her; if despondent, it cheers and invigorates. It is a panacea for all irregularities of her monthly periods. It is a constant friend to tho expectant mother; a never-failing stand-by to the nursing mother, both for herself and fot her child, and finally when the change of life comes on, no medicine on earth is of equal efficacy to tlio woman in this critical period. Surely Pe-ru-na is the woman’s friend.” That catarrli has Jny relation to bar renness in women is surprising to many. It is one of the mysteries of catarrh. This insidious disease penetrates to every organ of tlio body. Mrs. L. M. Griffith,of Cambridge,Neb.,says: “Yom medicine did me a wonderful amount of good. It cured me of barrenness. I am thirty years / old and had^j never borne any ehildren, but^i since beginning p-j your medicine I gave birth to a ten-pound baby girl. Sho is now six months old, and weighs twenty-five pounds. My i'riendo'i were all surprised. Some would not believe it until they came to see me.

The most brilliant gem that was ever taken from the earth would not amount to much if there were no peo ple to appreciate its beauty and to vie with each other for its possession. The most spacious store, the most carefully selected stock of goods, the clever est corps of clerks will not avail unless people know about them. Knowledge of such things is spread in various ways. A passerby may drop in and be impressed. He may tell his neighbor, and he in turn may tell somebody else. That is one way, and there are some merchants who today think it is good enough. Modern develop ment, however, has sup plied in newspapers the best means. They go into ev ery home in the land, how ever humble, however mag nificent. Through them all of the information can be supplied, not to one, but to thousands. Arc you using this paper to the Lest advantage? !
