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

Spartanburg is to have a Grand
Carnival October 22-27. 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

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.

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.

CROP BULLETIN.
Condition of Carolina Crop* a* Deported
from the liureau.
Columbia, 8. 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

to ha* used the water freely at homo for
scarcely a month now, with more benellclal
results than from months spent at different
lithia spring* In different parts of the United
States, besides Ion# continued use of the
same water* at home. Other of my patient*
and friend* are now uslntctho same with best
results. I cordially recommend It to all suff-
orlns from similar diseases.

Ashrvii.i.e, N. C., April 24, lW8.-An ex
tended clinical use of the Harris Lithia Wa
ter prompts me to the statement that I re
gard It as one of the best. If not the ltes.(
I.lt Ida \\ ater known to the profession. In tl]
condition of Phosphatlc Urine, Its action
marvelous. Its use in the Rheumatic
Gouty diseases afford me more comfort than
either the Ruffaloor Londonderry Waters.
