Eri \ Jank. June -7. — It is much
easier lo weep over the wanderer than
to bring him home. So with profis-
sional tat tiers. It is much easier to
hear their clash than to believe what
they say, and if we were to search
pandemonium with lighted candles
we could not find a more efficient
class of professionals than can be
found in our country today. No one,
however pure or honest, is safe from
tlnir venimous brenth. While these
have not effected us, indirectly, that
wo know of. yet we have been annoy
ed by the grievances of others.
Itir. Coley St ward once said, in
speaking of a certain man: “The
truth is a stranger to him.” ft does
seem Dial some people would rather
not tell it ail if they can get round it.
(’apt. .1. 15. Hell denominates this
particular class of beings as “scan
dal-mongers”—a very appropriate
mime, too.
It is too true that wo often resort
to the faults of others to hide our
own meanness. Pre judice is a enm-
plitnenl we pity to our superiors.
The man or the woman who soat-
t£i s love and sunshine when ver t hey
go, are tho ideals wt should imitate,
they are the only ones of whom it
cat. truthfuliy be said when they are
gone, “that the world is better lor
their having lived in it.”
In a private letter wo learn that
Capt. .). N. King, of Ninety Six, who
has the contract for building the ap
proaches to the steel bridge across
Catawba ri\er at Sutton's ferry, in
York county, expects to visit this
section in September. He re-asseCs
that the account given in this corres
pondence some time ago about his
taking the part of a poor, defenceless
woman against the cruel treatment
of a brutal husband, was not an ex
aggeration, but every word true. The
woman is still with her parents and
the husband is afraid to come into
tho State for fear of prosecution.
M< re than a hundred papers have
copi. d the statement, among them
the Ni-w York World.

The extent of injury done the

Several people from this section
will attend tho Fourth of July cele
bration at (iulluey next Wednesday.
(fur country is now freer from sick-
noss Ilian at any time in several
month*. Not a case in this section
that wo know of requiring the attfii-
ti-ui of a physician. Tina is a fortu
nate circumstance, for which we are
really t hankful.
Wo are not disposed to brag about
it, but we believe wo have one of the
most ( ji aceful, law-abiding sections
in the State. Not a custj in court or
before the magistrate that we know
of, and our people, both white and
colored, appear to bo getting along
well and peaceable logathe;’.
’J is true we have hero and there
places where tho riff ruff of soeii ty
are reported as congregating and
spending Saturdsy nights and Sun
day, but Ihiii* meetings don’t inter
rupt those othorw.st inclined, and its
they ura all birds of a feather, the

Miss Mary Edwards, daughter of
our esteemed friend and neighbor,
Mr. John Edwards, who lias been at
tending tho Cedar Springs school,
will return homo to-morrow to spend
her vacation.
Our Sunday school children are
making preparations for a grand
children’s day a* Salem, Thursday
July 2ftth, to which a general invita
tion is extended to all friendly to tho
children’s work to attend. Wo hope
by (fiat time that the flat will be in
tho river and that tho public will suf
fer no inconvenience in getting to the
church from tho Yora side. Itevv
James S. MofTatt, of the A. It. I’,
church, of Chester, will he there and
make an address on tho subject of
temperance. He will confine his re
marks not only to tho children but
the old people ns well. Mr. MoiTatt
is one of the ablest and most efficient
temperance workers in the south,
and the Sublmth school bits unani
mously selected him for this special
work on the r children’s day. They
have made a fortunate selection in a
speaker. We bespeak for the young
people that respectful attention to
which their work commends them.
We rearet that tilings and circum
stances over which we had no control,
prevented our attending the recent
F. (’. Veteran reunion at Louisville,
Ky. Thos -who did attend it. wore im-
pn .-<se«l with tho idea that it was the
grandest meetitg iii the history of
the IL C. Veterans In grandeur it
far surpass! (I that of the 0. A R.
held in that same city. Ret ween
them {.here was no comparison-—tak
ing into consideration the morals of |
the two bodies. So fur has the liber
ty laving people of the north been
impressed with the loyalty and devo
tion of the confederate soldier, and in
consideration of bis unswerving fidel
ity to the cause he fought to main
tain, that they have extended lo them
the hospitalities of some of their most
magnificent and wealthy cities in
which to hold their reunions.
At no time since the opening of
that most important struggle have
the two sections of tho union so well
understood each other as today. This
is the experience of almost every ve t
eran who attended tho Louisville,
Ky., reunion, and the time is coming
when the northern cities, and even
States north of the Mason and Dixon
line, will vie with each other in hav-
j icg the Confederate soldiers as their
1 guest 8.
The old sectional sore has been
kept irritated through the interfer
ence of the political vermin that have
been disturbing it ever since the ces
sation of hostilities. Those men on
both sides of the lino never got mad,
apparently, until after all opportuni
ty for fighting had passed. Their
days have been numbered, we hope,
so fur as their ruling power is con
cerned. Tho country wants peace
and good government and the fruT r-
nal teeiing now growing inuru.g the
veti runs and tln ir sons on both t-i b s
of t>he line that bus so long sepaiuted j
us, is going to be a potent factor in
bringing about that most desirable
re.-uit.
A fine opening for a physician in
the vicinity of Wiikinsviile. is now or,
hand, and the farmers of this cotn-
timniiy have at last opined their
eyes to the necessity of having ago d
physician in their midst. As it is
then is no physician h, tween (Lifinny
and Skull Shoals, a distance of twen
ty miiesvia Wiikinsviile, and for that
section, no physician can be had
nearer than Cherokee Fulls or Hick
ory drove, both .of which are beyond
the river.
The housewives will begin drying
fruit just as soon as the fruit is
n.jiijy. One of tfie best devices we
know oT for this purpose is a thin
cloth, quiit lining, or something like
it. ;tretched over a frame of light ma
terial. homething like ordinary quilt
ing frames, with a few supports of
light timber nuihd across under
neath to support it. Tliis drytr can
be handled with ease and one of tho
uigum‘ nts in its favor is, tho fruit
gets ih ’roughly dried much sooner,
at- the aiy lias access to it from both
above and bercatb. Resides, two
ItamL in a few moments can put out
or I be in a whole crop of fruit, just
as the sumdiine or showers m a kb it
r,ary.
Ii is not our purpose to champion
d. Walter Whitman’s candidacy for
governor, nor that of any other can
didate, hut we think it very unpatri
otic for any one to deny, or attempt
to d*3ny, hup tho right to run for
that, op any of ht r office, ho wants to.
Tills is a free country, and it is his
privilege to run and let (ho voters
say who they want for governor, and
ha the majority rule. For a grumb
ling newspaper or second rate politi
cian to try to for< stall public opinion
ami leiirive a citizen of the State of
tho rights guaranteed him by the
same, is not 4 very reputable act, to
say the least of it.
If some of tho papers and politi
cians will but remember they are
now standing upon the very platform
that d. Walter Whitman adopted
and fought for as early us the year
JoSo, whop t .? ope else woul i tackle
it; doing away with these expensive
State colleges and appropriating
more of the money for the mainten
ance of the public schools. This is a
matter of history and wo know where
of we speak
\i’o want it distinctly understood
that we are not advertising Mr.
Whitman's candidacy more* than
any one else. What we want, and
shall c ntend for, la a fair fight. We
have that confidence in the voters of
South Carolina that they know who
and what kind of men they want
ane will meet their responsibilities at

We- received quite a pleasant letter
a few days ago from a lady friend and
admirer (if The L’*dg rin Mississippi,
Stic is between sixty and seventy
years of age, was once a resident of
■ his part of the country, and is fully
competent to judge of the merits of
a paper when site reads it. She en
closed a dollar in her letter for re
newal of her subscription to The
Ledger, and said: “J am very much
pleased with Tho Ledger. I hear from
home every week and you can’t im
agine how much pleasure it is to me.
Please send the paper on.”
She adds further, that the crops in
her vicinity are all drowned out—
they have had ruin all the year and
two freshets in less than three weeks.
This lady is proud to know that her
mother state is on euch a “boom,”
and says her friends need not think be
cause she is so fur away, that she has
forgotten them, for she can never for-
g< t her old home. The Ledger is
always pleased to receive such words
of praise from its patrons, and hopes
that it will continue to merit them.

drawn by his company ami made
payable to Mrs. Louisa Horner, widow
of tiie late Thomas R. Horner, who
died May 17th 1000. Mr. Horner had
been insured in this company but a
short while and had only paid ijitifi (H>
on Ins policy, and now his widow re
ceives tho neat sum of two thousand

The New York Life is too well
known to need any comments upon
its manner of doing business—its
promptness and its fairness. Jt is
one of the largest, if not the largest,
insurance companies in the world,
and has more insurance in force than
any other company on tho globe.
