The press of other mutters demand

prevented us from commenting upon
the remarkable acrobatic performance
which has landed our esteemed con
temporary, “The Charlotte Ob

Democratic party. In a leading
article, published on the morning of

enough iu I he silver Issue to make it

ut the dream-picture of the ghost of
an issue done to death four years
ago.
Now, as to Mr. Bryan. He is not
the candidate of our choice, by any
manner of means. We admire his
courage, his frankness, his fidelity to
what he deems to bo right, but we
dissent from him in several very im
portant things ns well ns in the un
important, because utterly defunct,
silver issue. But the man for the
most part is < verlastingly right in
his positions in this campaign. No
body could ask him to stultify him
self, belie his own teachings, and pre
tend to a sudden, an instantaneous
change of heart. We think that ho
is utterly wrobg on the silver ques
tion, but wo admire him for refusing
to shuttle or to conceal his real opin
ions or to maim his manhood with
any form of politic lie. The Ob
server rendered homage to Grover
Cleveland, homage in which we
heartily join, because ho stood like
an adamantine pillar for what he
believed to bo the truth. That was
Roman firmness. Mr. Cleveland

“is radical, self-willed, head

dition to these, but the two grounds
mentioned are evidently the most

above just because in a calm, dignified i

our contemporary in this matter
The silver heresy is as odious to us
as it can possibly be to the Observer.
We look with loathing upon the
proposion to iniiate the currency by
making a piece of silver worth forty-
five cents pass for a dollar. We have
no patience with the plan of thus cut
ting honest obligations in half. We
join with the profounuest students of
politics in the opionion that for one
nation to attempt independently of
all other nations to bull the market
for silver is madness unspeakable.
Not even that iridescent vision of the
unpractical theorists’ disordered im
agination known as international bi
metallism can' win our judgment
with all its specious unsubstantial al
lurements. Free coinage is an
athema to us. But in spite all this,
we can see no sufficient reason for
repudiating the ticket of the Demo
cratic party. Silver is not the issue
this year. Silver is dead—deader
than “Old Marley” or a door-nail—
dead and buried beyond hope of res
urrection. No tears fall on Us last
resting place. It lias gonu down to
its grave, “unwept, unhonore'd and
unsung.” Other matters are now
occupying the minds of the people.
By no human possibility can any
thing bo done within four years to
disturb in the slightest degree the
currency of the country. We do not
believe for a moment that any con
siderable portion of the people desire
to revive the silver controversy. It
has been settled and settled right.
It was, perhaps, too much to usk a
great, party to right-about wheel
upon an is?-ue on which it had met
defeat just one election hack. Such
action would have been in the highest
degree noble, hut it would have de
manded in the JelegateB the stu'.T of
which heroes are made. The plat
form, as adopted, nitnply furnishes
the party a horse block by which it
may get down with what grace it car.

silver, without too obvious » confes
sion that the Bte» d is ungovernable-
and can not be ridden.
The real question in this campaign
is not “how many grains snail you
lucky as to oppose its view? Mr.
Bryan, we think, would, if elected
president, do with dauntless courage
what he believed to be right. In
most matters we think that what
he thinks right, is right, and in the
matter about which wo believe him
him to be in error he is absolutely
powerless to act, for his road is bar
ricaded, his troops have lied, and his
guns are spiked. We shall support
Bryan and Stevenson with a will.

Some farmers are beginning to lay
by their oldest corn and cotton,
while some of their crops are just re

upon an average, farm work is about
a month behind this year.
It is an old adage that “knowledge
is power.” Knowledge is power in
the same sense that wood is fuel.
Knowledge or fire is power. It’s the
spirit of life in knowledge that gives
it energy.
The power of printers ink cannot
be fairly estimated. For several
days some of our neighbors kept
watching The Ledger for a notice
that Messrs. Walker & Co. had start
ed their roller mill at Gaffney, but
not seeing it they took their wheat
to other mills. Several hold their
wheat yet for the Gaffney mill,
knowing that the men at its head are
not failures.
Still there is no fiat at Howell’s
ferry, but Mr. W. R. Walker has
kinaly tendered the use of one of his
cotton boats for the accommodation
of those who wish to attend children’s
day at Salem on the 2Gth inst. Wil
lie can always be depended upon to
do his part in a worthy cause.
- We regret to hear of the critical
condition of our old friend and army
comrade, Dr. A. E. Fant, of Meadow,
Union county, who is lying very low,
and will, perhaps, lose his foot from
an injury received some time ago.
For several years he has been par
tially paralyzed. Besides he has
other afflictions, among which is
deafness, caused by the bursting of a
shell at Fort Harrison in the fall of
18<J4.
There was few, if any, better sol-
vliers in Lee’s army tha«i “Dulph”
Fant. He was ever on the look out
for something to keep the boys
cheered up. He was always ready
for duty himself. He was a verita
ble wag and had a nickname for
nearly every man and horse in the
Holcombe Legion, and ho would
practice his fun in times when men
were thinking serious about what
was expected momentarily to happen.
On one occasion when the regiment
was forming a line for a charge, a
lieutenant couldn’t get his horse in
line. It kept (risking about as if it’s
back was hurting and Dolph called
out, “Wind up the striking weight,
lieutenant, and he’ll go all right.”
If the professional grumbler was
an augol ho would complain of the
weight of his wings.

A Moral.
(Frotiliilik Advertising Boston.)
A lazy fellow once approached the
tree on which the luscious fruit call
ed Success was growing. He sat
down in the shade and gazed pen
sively upward at, t he enticing display.
“Would you like some of that
fruit?” asked a passer-by.
“Ya-a-as,” drawled the Lazy One.
“Then,” sa;d the other, “climb up
the tree and help yourself.”
“Oh, I’m too tired,” replied the
Lazy One with a yawn. “If I wait
long enough it will fall of its own ac
cord.and waiting is such an easy job.”
So he waited, and watched others
climb the tree and come down laden
with the rich fruit, until what wtis
left fell of its own accord. Then ho
crawled about in the grass and picked
it up, only to find that it had reached
that stage ot decay described by the
terra “Dead-ones.”
Moral: Some people seem to bo
born for the purpose of becoming
horrible examples.

The annual meeting of tiie Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society was held
in Buncombe Htrect M. E. church,
Greenville, 8. C., June 27lh to July
1st IUOU.
The delegates’ names had been sent
in some time previous, homes select
ed and a well organized committee
met the delegates at the different
trains, tagged them and introduced
them to their host or hostess, who
took them to their homes of comfort
and ease, where they were entertain
ed during the meeting, only when at
tending tho different services of the
meeting or out dining with some
friends.
The opening services were conduct
ed by the pastor, Rev. G. T. Harmon,
on Wednesday evening at 8:3U
o’clock, after which he gave the visi
tors and delegates a warm and loving
welcome to the town, the church, the
homes and the hearts of the people ;
and really we did believe we were
welcomed, judging from the earnest
ness of his forceful talk. Then Miss
McDavid, in her delicate simplicity,
though a determination to work for
her Master, came to the front and
bade us welcome to the society who
were laboring there in this work.
Mrs. M. D. Wightman, our presi
dent, just as usual ready for all
emergencies, responded to these ad
dresses. She seems to be ready to
do all the undone work.
Thursday morning at 1) o’clock w e
assembled for business, the presi
dent iu the chair. After devotional
exercises the usual routine roll call,
to which about one hundred respond
ed, and business opened in order.
We held two business sessions
each day from D to 12 :3u a. m., and
from 3 to (1 p. m. Devotional exer
cises at night were conducted by the
pastor and visiting ministers, which
added much to tiie enjoyment of the
meeting.
The reports from the societies
showed the different collections and
standing in the societies represented
by these good women. Some few ju
venile societies were reported, but
there could be an improvement in
this part of the work, even in our
own home; there was no juvenile so
ciety to report and the delegate was
somewhat censured for it.
During the week Miss Glenn, a re
turned missionary, was introduced
and gave some good talks concerning
her wont in Brazil. During the dif
ferent sessions, this twentieth cen
tury fund was well discussed and ex
plained.
Saturday afternoon found us about
through with our business part of
this meeting, so we accepted an invi
tation to hold our next regular meet
ing with the Newberry people next
year.
No service was held on Saturday
evening, but Sunday morning we met
with a large crowd for love feast and
to partake of tho Lord’s Supper.
Sunday evening Miss Emma Gary,
another returned missionary, talked
to the children; then at night our
meeting closed with a talk from Miss
Gary to a crowded house on “Old,
present and future China.” She is
well acquainted with these three
Chinas, understanding her work to
the uttermost.

SUMMER SCHOOL CLOSED
One of the JMo*t Su«-<‘e**ftil Ever Held in
Thl* County.
The summer school, which has
been in session for tho past four
weeks, closed last Saturday. It has
been one of the most successful
summer schools ever held in this
county. Much good has been ac
complished and the teachers who
have been so fortunate as to attend
have been benefitted and will enter
upon their work with more interest
and spirit than ever before.
Without a question these summer
schools are beneficial to every teach
er who attends them. By meeting
one another and exchanging ideas
and methods, talking and studying
over the problems of education and
of tiie various hindrances that im
pede the progress of education,
each teacher is made to resolve, “I
will try to do my duty more thor
oughly than I ever yet have done.”
The teachers of Cherokee county are
learning teachers. They are not
like the “dead trees” Dr Lodge told
us about. Some one has said wo
never begin to learn until wo learn
how little we know. How true that
is.' The mind incapable of taking in
more knowledge is to be compared
only with tho mind that is all the
time taking in but never giving out.
They will both soon become stagnant
and should bo removed from the
midst of thinking, learning and
teaching people.

The manager of one of the most ^
successful furniture houses in ^
Greater New York was asked to a
what one thing, in his opinion, A
the success of the concern was 1
most due. He replied:
“The founder of the firm was a great £
believer in advertising, and to this fact T
may be ascribed the enormous business
we are handling.”
There i* no business, however
small, that cannot be increased
by judicious, systematic, per
sistent advertising. The giant
oak does not gain its strength in
a day. Magnificent buildings
are not reared ail at once, nor
can their strength and beauty be
appreciated until the finishing
touches are put on.
Is your business satisfactory?
Are you making headway? Arc
