TO OUR SUH8CKIDERS. For some time we have been fear ing that the continued increase in the price of white paper would force us to raise the subscription price of The Ledger. Up to the time wo pur chased our last lot of paper we were buying newspaper nearly 100 per cent cheaper than that lot cost us, and we know we bought it as cheap as it could be bought. This forces us to go up on the price of the paper. Commencing January 1, 1901, the price of The Ledger will be $1.50 a year to everybody. There will be no favorites. The paper is fully worth that price and we believe that the people of this county will recognize the fact that it has always been our plan to give the best possible value for the money, and we believe they will have confidence in the statement that we will endeavor to give them full value in the future. We have this “proposition to make to our friends: Anyone may subscribe for The Ledger between now and Janu- uary 1st at the rate of $1 a year. If you are behind with your subscrip tion you may pay up to January 1st and pay $1 more and get it until Jan uary 1st, 1902. We think this is a liberal and fair proposition. After the 1st day of January no one will get the paper at less than $1 50 a year, but by taking advantage of this proposition you may secure it one more year for $1. VV’ill you take ad vantage of this offer? Let us know at once. If there should be anything about this proposition that you do not un derstand, call on us and we will en deavor to make it plain. We regret the necessity of this step more than any of our patrons, but it is either that or run at a loss, and we have neither the means nor inclination to do business that way. NOTES AND COMMENTS. It is said that the out-look for foot ball in the colleges of this state is very promising. That is one crumb of comfort amid a multitude of draw backs and discouragements. “The Jeffersonian,” a high class literary journal published at Gaithers burg, Md., reproduced in full, with introductory endorsement, one of our recent editorials. A compliment from such a source is doubly appre ciated. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Our friend “Justice” of Wilkins- ville, who recently sized up Gaffney with such easy nonchalance in the South Carolina baptist, is meeting with the usual difficulties that igno rance and prejudice throw in the way of reformers. Another writer in the same paper this week takes “Justice” severely to task for his (or her) temerity. We hope, however, that “Justice” will not feel discour aged and put his (or her) light under a bushel. It takes the common peo ple a long time to learn how to ap preciate the true light. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Spartanburg Herald calculates that the war in the Philippines is costing every man in the United States ton dollars a year. Of course this is the average amount to each man. It is paid indirectly or in ways that are not observable. If it were levied directly there would be a gen eral uprising against the McKinley administration in little or no time. Vet it comes from the people’s pockets all the same. It comes too, not from those most able to pay, and from the stock and bond holders and money kings, but from the common people who use most of the neces saries of life. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ .Now a big rice trust is in embryo. A Mr. Herd from New York, claim ing to reDresent a capital of $7,500,- 000, proposes to buy in advance all the rice that may be made in four years and pay a stipulated price, and it is claimed that 90 per cent, of the rice planters of the south have struck a bargain with him. Ho we may ex pect rice to go up and the profits to go to fatten men in New York who are already bloated with wealth and inflamed with greed. Well, we in the up-country don’t eat a great deal of rice and if our appetites for it should be sharpened by the rise in price, perhaps we’ll put the llroad river and Thickety swamps in it, and raise our own supplies, if the trust should stimulate such an enterprise as this, it will do a good work for this part of the country. ♦ ♦ ♦ Some of the northern papers are chuckling over the conversion of Gen. M. C. Hut lor to Republicanism. We do not know exactly what Gen. Hut- ler’s political creed is. Ho has been talking some of late and expressing views contrary to those of some of his friends and in accord with those of some of his political enemies. But wo shall never believe, until com pelled by positive proof, that Gen. Butler has said or done anything in consistent with his honor and his splendid manhood. Wo may think that be is mistaken, and we may pro foundly regret his mistake, when he favors expansion and believes in the McKiniey administration, but we are bound to think that lie is honestly mistaken, and that lie will never knowingly degrade his manhood by truckling to the minions of power, or barter bis honor for pelf and popu larity. South Carolina has treated him with the basest ingratitude, but we do not believe that even the marble-hearted fiend, Ingratitude, can ever tame his spirit or stain his honor. If one of our big dailies could by any possible means bo transported to one of the distant worlds into which sin hud never entered and wrongs had never been inflicted nor suffered, the inhabitant who might read it would think it had “come hot from hell.” Mankind mad with the pas sion for slaughter, war in Africa, war in the islands of the Pacific, war in China involving all the greatest nations of the earth, in every coun try on the globe, murders, frauds, lynchings, rapes, thefts—everywhere the strong trampling down the weak —everywhere the cry of wrong and sorrow caused by “man’sinhumanity to man,” going up from the earth,— surely all these would fill out a picture that would satisfy the most vivid conceptions ever formed in that sinless world of hell. Yet we are ac customed to think that this is a pretty good world after all. And some think it is growing better and look forward with pleasing anticipa tions to a time when peace and good will, and love and happiness shall reign from the rivers to the ends of the earth. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The race war in Georgetown was of short duration, and terminated with out a battle. How much real danger there was and how much of the trouble was attributable to excite ment, it is impossible to say. The troops were promptly called out by the Governor and they promptly re sponded. Upon their arrival the ne groes immediately quieted down and dispersed. A few of the ring leaders were arrested and punished by the mayor's court, and we suppose that is the end of it for the present. An eye witness to the troubles writes an account to the State, ic which we note this significant assertion: “It is the educated college negro, with his high standing collar that reminds one of a black mule peeping over a white-washed fence, that is busily sowing the seeds of discord among his race and each and almost every trouble is attributable to him.” Yet there is an idea prevalent jn this State, notably among legislators, that college education is so necessary a qualification for good citizenship as to make it obligatory on the State to maintain at the public expense as many us five great institutions for the sole purpose of turning out “edu cated college’’ citizens. Is it not possible that there is a big mistake somewhere? ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The tax gatherer is again adver tising his rounds and soon he will be abroad in the l&nd. A considera ble portion of the income yielded by the scanty crops will g) to supply costly luxuries for those who are able to pay for them, and the farmer may provide bread and meat and clothing for his family us best he can. Men who are strictly honest will, in many towns and communities, pay about three per cent, on the value of their possessions. We repeat what we have said before, that the average man cannot afford to pay such taxes. We seriously doubt if one man in a hundred makes three per cent, one year with another on his capita 1 , Win is to become of a country when it is taxed more than it makes? The an swer is easy. Yet every legislature goes beyond its predecessor in hatch ing wild schemes of extravagance that demand more and m ire of the people’ll money. There were men in the last legislature who played “bluff and call” with It with the jaunty ease and grace with which a gambler handles the billiard cue or throws the dice box, and the signs are good that the next legislature will be equallz facile in piling up the appro priations. We have been reforming for ten years, and the prospect is that we shall go on reforming until the money gives out. —Dr. W. H. Wakefield, of Char lotte, N.

One of the most attractive features of the week will be the Floral Parade. Miss Min nie Carroll of our city has been chosen as a maid of honor to the Queen of the Floral Parade and Ball. J. H. Gaston, a prosperous and re spected colored man from over the river, was in to see us yesterday. He thinks there is no paper like The Led ger and never loses an opportunity to recommend it to his colored friends. Ho paid his own subscription and that of several others of his neighbors The young ladies of Limestone College attended preaching three times Sunday. Twice in Gaffney and in the afternoon Rev. F. C. Hickson preached a magnificent sermon to them In the auditorium at Limestone. The college lays special emphasis on the religious education of the young ladies. Messrs. Carroll & Co., proprietors of the dummy line, wish it under stood by the people of Gaffney that the dummy is chartered every Sun day by the president of Limestone College especially for the young ladies of the college, and that no one else is expected to ride on it at such times. The Texan Cattle Fever. [Carolina Spartan.] A few weeks ago, O. P. Hill, living near Gaffney, lost two milch cows and a yearling or two. We asked him if he had not admitted some cat tle to his pasture from another farm about two to four weeks before bis cows became sick. He said that he had. Therein lay the death of his cattle. During the institute at Clemson College, Dr. Nesom, the veterinary surgeon, was unwell and could not take part in the institute work. Prof. WeJborne, of the Mississippi Agricultural College, was persuaded to give some information, which ho said was second hand, about cattle fever. He had talked with Dr. Nesom and learned that disease, commonly called Texas fever, was transmitted from one herd to another by the cattle tick. This is strange doctrine for our people, but it seems to be the true one. We hope to bring iorward another im portant lesson in the “Farmers’ School,” conducted by The Spartan, for we shall ask Dr. Nesom to give us a column or more on this subject. Mr*. iHom Improving. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Campobello, Oct. 2—Will you please allow mo space in your col umns to say to my friends that Mrs. Isom’s general health is much im proved, but that the underlying cause will need further attention and treatment. Many thanks to our friends for their indulgence and pray ers. Since my last letter we have visit ed the town of Landrum, which is a few miles south of “Hog Back.” I wonder if the small school children know what this is and where it is? While at Landrum we visited Rev. A. H. Best, pastor of the Methodist church. I served his church here last Sabhath and am attending ser vices at the Baptist church this week. If I escape being converted to their faith and baptism, 1 hope to re turn to my work at Mesopotamia on the second Sunday at p. m. J. N. Isom. Married ut L'Ufloi) On Wednesday Oct. 8, 1900, at 2 p. m., Dr. B. D. Bates, formerly of Gaffney, and Miss Etna Pettit were united in the holy bonds of wedlock, at the home of the bride’s parents. Rev. A. M. Jf.oBS, of Kings Moun tain, N. C., in his usual Impressive way performed the ceremony. Miss Pettit is the pretty and ac complished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Pettit, of Clifton, S. 0. Dr. Bates is a son of the late Dr. B. F. Bates, and is known through out the northern part of the state as a brilliant and successful young physician. This happy young couple left on the afternoon train for Asheville, Greenville and other places, where they will spend several days, after which they will return to Clifton where they wil) make their future home. MU* Gould’* Contribution, [ Exchange.] Helen Gould lias been prompt to recognize the needs of the victims of the Galveston disaster, and with her customary munificence, she made practical response. Immediately on hearing the fisrt reports of the disaster, Miss Gould realized that food in large quantities would be required in Galveston at once. She sent to the War Depart ment for information about purchas ing rations. The names of contract ors were returned (to her, whereupon Miss Gould placed orders for 50,000 rationsfer shipment South.

C., October 2.—The week ending 8 a. m., Monday, Octo ber 1st, was again very hot, the temperature averaging over six de grees per day warmer than usual, and had a maximum of 98, and a minimum of 55 degrees, the former at Blackville, the latter at Oheraw. The week was rainless. The ground has again become too dry for plowing, and but little oats or wheat seeding has been done, the work await ing more favorable conditions for pre- pation and germination. The weather was uninterruptedly favorable for gathering crops. Corn is being housed, and now it is certain that less than half a crop will be gathered. Late corn is a com plete failure. Cotton picking made favorable progress, and from half to seven- eights of the crop has been gathered. Yields are estimated at from half to nearly three-fourths an averoge crop. Many correspondents state that pick ing will be practically completed by October loth, which is unusually early, due to the continued abnormal beat and dryness. There will be no top crop of any account. Sea-island yields are also light, and half has been gathered. Peas, sweet potatoes, upland rice, cane and hay crops are unusually poor, in many places failures, excep- that a few localities report an ubunt dance of grass for hay. Early rice harvest is finished, and June rice is ripening. The rice crop is the only fino one cultivated this year. Birds are destructive in the Georgetown distriots. Turnips are coming up poorly, and in many places no stands have been secured. Stock water is scarce in places. Tbe fall bean crop bids fair to be a partial failure. A Hlrthilay Celebration. Grover, N. C. Oct. 1.—-We had the pleasure of attending the birthday celebration of Mr. John Moss on Sat urday, Sept. 29th, which was the be ginning of bis eighty-first year. Mr. and Mrs. Moss reside in Cherokee county, near Mt. Paron church. They have been blessed with eleven children, eight sons and three daugh ters, all of whom are married. lie lives at home and boards at the same place and is certainly a good neigh bor. There were about two hundred people present, among whom were Rev. and Mrs. T. H. Mullinax, of Grover. After a few words of welcome by Mr. Moss and a short prayer by Rev. Mr. Mullinax, we found ourselves partaking from a table laden with plenty of almost everything good to eat. Everyone present seemed to enjoy themselves in a quiet and man nerly way. Taken as a whole, this was a day long to be remembered by all who were present. We hope our friend will be able to celebrate several more birthdays in peace and good health May his last days in this world be his sweet est ones. t. j o “For three days and nights l suf fered agony untold from an attack of pholera morbus brought on by eating cucumbers,” says Mj E.
