TO OUR SUB8CRIHER8. 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 we pur chased our last lot of paper we were buying newspaper nearly 1<H) 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 wo 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. Wo think this is a liberal and fair proposition. After the 1st day of January no one will got the paper at less than $1 50 a year, but by taking advantage of this pro position you may secure it one more year for $1. Will you take advantage 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 incli nation to do business that way. THE GREAT STRIKE. There is no material change in the status of the great strike in the Pennsylvania coal regions. The mine owners offered to raise wages 10 per cent, and it was thought that this offer would be considered as a victory for the strikers and they would accept it and return to work. Rut the miners insist that their Union shall be officially recognized, and this the owners persistently re fused to do, thereby denying the miners the right to organize in their own interests. So, the issue has set tled down mainly to one of prin ciple rather than of expediency. In the meantime over 100,000 men are out of employment, which means that about a lialf million of human beings are deprived of the means of earning their bread. This is a state of things well calculated to excite anxiety, if not alarm, in all thought ful people, and it presents one of the gravest orobletns that political econo mists have yet in this country been called on to confront. The strikers have thus far con ducted themselves in an orderly and peaceable manner, showing scrupu lous regard for the rights of property and using no violent means to intimi date non-union miners. They de mand only that the mutters in dis pute shall be submitted to arbitra tion and that the representatives of their Union shall be recognized as competent authority to negotiate terms of settlement. Hucb appears at this writing to be the conditions, even when every chan nel of communication with the strikers is controlled by thoir ene mies. It is safe to conclude that if we could know all, we should be able to make up a much stronger case for th» strikers. The mine owners no doubt, have the manipulation of the Associated Press dispatches, and they are backed by the great railroad corporations as well as aided hy the moral support of every big trust in the land. Pennsylvania maintains a large, well equipped force of militia, and armed bodies of these are on the scene ostensibly for the purpose of keeping the peace, but really for the purpose of intimidating and over awing the strikers; and though President Mitchell and his advisers are acting with extreme caution, it is hardly probable that in the strained relations now existing bloodshed will be long averted. lu the u;ean while the whole coun try and in a measure the whole world, h feeling the effects of the trouble. Coal is going up by bounds aud with the first breath of autumn It if announced that many important places are threatened with a coal famine. We can only conjecture the suffering that will follow through a long severe winter, if the situation be not relieved. Wo are opposed on principle to strikes and also to labor unions, but not more so than we are to unneces sary and unjustifiable combinations of capital. Labor has as much right to organize for self-protection as capital has for purposes of extortion and oppresion. Many things that are wrong in principle may be made right in policy,*by some other over powering wrongs, whatever theorists and fanatics may say to the con trary. The policy of the Republican party has bred the great trusts, and the existence of these trusts with all their greedy, oppressive measures, has made labor organizations neces sary and great strikes inevitable. The whole business has become a crying subject for national legislation, and if Congress cannot devise some law under the provisions of which these differences, so frequently arising between employers and employees, van he settled with something like farness and justice to both parties, then the time will soon come when we shall no longer have any use for a Congress. GROWTH OF TOWNS. Among the most remarkable evo lutions of post-bellum civilization, is the growth of towns and cities in the South. We can remember when Greenville, Laurens and Spartanburg were little drowsy villages that stood from year to year without any per- ceptable change. No one ever thought of getting up anything big ger than a traveling circus or a sleight-of-hand-show for the purpose of advertising the town and bringing money and people into it. Aud in deed the traveling shows often ex hibited at important little centers in the country and ignored the towns altogether. Now, the spirit of the towns is al most wild. The average citizen feels in duty bound to plan and work and talk incessantly for his town, and to support every enterprise that promises to bring it additional wealth and population. The little villages of ante-bellum days have sprung into the dimensions of cities, and all over the country hamlets and villages have come into existence as if by magic. _ The ambition of the small towns is to grow and of the large ones to be come still larger. Spartanburg is pulling for her gala week on which her citizens will spend an amount of money which in the old days would have seemed fabulous—ail for the puroose of advertising the town. Co lumbia is working fur the State Fair with might and main, while old Charleston has aroused herself from the lethargy of years and is whooping up an exposition for 1901, which in extent and variety shall surpass any thing of the kind ever before known in the south. We doubt if the rapid growth and multiplication of towns are indices to the healthy development of the coun try at large. The foundation of all true prosperity lies in the agricul tural productions of the country, and if these do not flourish and expand with the growth of towns, there will soon have to be new adjustments, when the fact will be realized th.t material development has been ap parent rather than real. NOTES AND COMMENTS. We believe that the greatest man in American politics today is William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, lie has developed wonderfully in the last four years, and he is making the most masterly campaign ever made on this continent. lie seems equal to any emergency, and his speeches are sledge-hammer blows under the force of which everything goes down. His chances for election are much better than they were four years ago, and he seems to have amassed Im mense capabilities for manipulating bis chances. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ If there is one thing settled in the public mind of South Carolina, it is that whenever one man invades the sanctity of another man’s home and Doisons his domestic peace, he for feits his right to live; and when the injured man hunts him down aud slays him, the public conscience will approve the deed. There is one other thing just as firmly settled, and that is that whoever assaults a white wo man’s virtue, shall inevitably and immediately pay the penalty with his life. There is absolutely no mis take about this sentiment. The kill ing of Brown at Rock Hill and the burning of a negro in Georgia are hut recent manifestations of this fixed and unalterable determination. How long will it take men, white and black, to learn that such is the case? ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Our fantastic friend “J ustice,” who suddenly loomed up in the South Carolina Baptist, has as suddenly dis appeared. Like some old proohet he delivered his message and then re tired to hit meditations away from the vulgar gaze. We should have liked to ask this modern seer while he was engaged in his incantations one more question. If we remember correctly, while he was in the spirit, he asked, “Where can the school girl get that experience about Gaffney, which comes only from association with older and wiser heads?” Wo should like to ask if, when a school permits its students to go into so- called society, do they seek associa tion with “older and wiser heads” or with young and inexperienced heads like their own? Only that and noth ing mv.ro. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Gen. M. C. Butler writes a letter to the Columbia State, in which he pronounces the story published about his political defection to bo “a base and vicious falsehood and slander,” and says his indignation “cannot find expression in suitable language.” Whereupon the State remarks, that what the General says “is very vehement, but not at all definite.” It seems to us that such expressions as those quoted above are definite enough for all practical every day purposes, hut we have no doubt but that Gen. Butler will make them still more definite if he should recognize the necessity for so doing. If Gen. Butler, however, had been of our way of thinking and feeling he would not have said one word to the public on this subject. He has many warm personal friends in this State, but he owes no more to the South Carolina public than he owes to the Emperor of Timbuctoo. Indeed the highest debt he owes is due only to his own manhood and his own stain less r ecord. Now for The Rig Show. Under the personal direction of such master managers as James A. Bailey, W. W. Cole and Lewis and Feter Sells—with the first-named gleaning every foreign field for noted and and novel features—the Adam Forepaugh and Sella Brother’s united menageries, circuses and hippodromes have grown to be the greatest.show of the era, and so generally recog nized from New York to San Fran cisco. Now brilliantly and exclu sively dominating the metropolitan field, left vacant by the departure for foreign parts of the Baruum & Bailey show, and making a season in Madison Square Garden a part of its regular programme, the World says it is “the biggest circus that New York ever saw,” and that unqualified complimet is heartily seconded by the press and public generally. That is just the shape in which it will appear at Gastonia Thursday Oct. 18th, Spahanburg Friday Oct. 19th, on bringing a wealth and variety of entertainment it is simply impossible to refer to in detail. There are hun dreds of rare wild beasts, birds and amphibia, including three herds of performing elephants, the only school of trained sea lions and seals, and a whole caravan of other cute and cun ning animals. There are hundreds of really eminent artists and royally beautiful horses, and over a hundred brilliant acts and electrifying races. The colossal circus campany contains all the fun that the biggest tent can hold, furnished by twenty-five famous and versatile clowns, nineteen cham pion male and , female bareback riders, and troupes of thrilling and wonderful experts in mid-air and ground sensations. Everything is of the best and there is enough of it to fill three rings, elevated stages end pedestals, acres of aerial space and the biggest coliseum course ever canopied. The morning parade will be the same which, passing under the great Dewey arch, dazzled and delighted over half a million pairs of eyes. RoukIi on tbe KImIioiii. The Atheuamin of London Is a very solemn club, and consists of eminent doctors, judges, barristers and, above all, bishops. It was a rainy day; It was one of those threatening days with which we are familiar during this dis appointing summer, and one of Lord Salisbury’s secretaries observed that his chief was starting out for his lunch eon at the Athenamm. lie rushed for the umbrella and offered it to Lord) Salisbury. “No, no,” said Lord Salis bury, “I’ve lost too many lu the Atho- meum.

Most people imag ine that her title of duke of Lan caster merges In her superior title of queen, but that Is not so, as she would remain duke of Lancaster even If she ceased to be queen. The duchy of Lan caster was created In the reign of Ed ward IH and since 1401 the revenues of the duchy have been held separately and form no part of the hereditary revenues In view of which the civil list was granted.—Washington Times. Ereetrd hy Himself. An unusual circumstance Is connect ed with the burial of George T. Storer, Whose death occurred in Lewiston, Me., recently. The body was taken to Win- negnnee for burial, where. In a little cemetery, there was already standing a stone marked with bis name. He had placed it there himself, years ago, say ing, “If I put it there myself I shall know my grave will not go unmarked.” Feelings of safety pervade the household that uses One Minute Cough Cure,the only harmless remedy that produces immediate results.

Mina Dalny Kennedy Died at the Home of Her Sinter, Mm. W. H. Hodgen. How uncertain is human life! There is but a breath of air and a beat of a heart betwixt this world and the next. It has not been very long since Miss Daisy Kennedy, a bright, hand some and very popular young lady of Kingstree, came up to Gaffney to visit her sister, Mrs. W. H. Hodges. She was in the full enjoyment of life at the time, and no doubt came with the pleasant anticipation of a highly enjoyable visit and of returning to her home to tell of the pleasures she mot with while here. But alas, for human expectations! Shortly after she arrived in our city she became ill; and though a trained nurse ad ministered to her needs, and all was done for her that medical skill could devise and execute, she continued to grow worse and on Saturday morning she breathed her last. Miss Kennedy had just blossomed into womanhood, being only twenty- one years of age, and her death was a particularly sad one. Innumerable friends mourn for her and sympa thize with the grief-stricken mother who was afilicted in a like manner just two months ago. Rev. \V. II. Hodges, accompanied by his wife and Mrs. Kennedy, car ried the remains to Kingstree for in terment. A SarcAMtlo Form of Rebnke. “The new speaker is of too amiable a disposition to ‘come down’ upon the bouse when It is out of order, as his predecessor often did,” said a member whose experience dates back to Mr. Carlisle’s regime, “but, be it said to Mr. Reed’s credit, his method was in variably efficacious, aud we in the house minded promptly and without open protest. “On one occasion during the last ses sion the house became very disorderly. Mr. Reed knocked several times with his gavel, but without effect The speaker was obviously annoyed. Final ly he pounded the desk heavily. ‘One moment,’ he said angrily, his voice penetrating to the farthest corner of the chamber. ‘Gentlemen should rec ollect that there is an unusual attend ance of ex-members aud members elect and that on that account there Is con siderable addition to the usual noise, which of itself is ordinarily sufficient to prevent the transaction of business.’ There was loud laughter at this, but It was observed that tbe house soon settled down into an unusual quiet.”— New York Tribune.

The ’possum hunter’s horn can now be heard awakening the echoes of the stilly night, and “possum and taters” form a conspicuous part of the colored man’s menu. Read the advertisement of J. J.

Lipscomb <k Bro. sold over 400 pairs of shoes Friday. What city of even twice the size of Gaffney can beat that? Messrs. Lipscomb & Bro. have truly won the appellation of “hustlers.” Theie was an exhibition in the graded school building Thursday and Friday night consisting of panoramic views of the Paris exposition, Edi son’s new talking machine, and other things of a like nature. As we did not attend we are unable to pass up on the merits or demerits of tbe en tertainment. The revival meetings at the Second Baptist church still continue, and the large congrcgitions which gather there nightly have been favored with some excellent sermons by Rev. Mr. Ford, the pastor, and other ministers in the city. Sunday morning the subject of Mr. Ford’s discourse was the “Resurrection” and at night the “Judgment.” Both sermons were couched in eloquent language and delivered in a most graceful manner, and they did not fail to make a deep impression on every one who was fortunate enough to hear them.

A Wisconsin farmer has adopted a plan of advertising in his home paper which he declares has saved him much valuable time and brought handsome returns for the money in vested. He says: “When 1 am ready to sell my stuff, I insert a lit tle advertisement in the local papers telling them what 1 have to sell and if live stock how many head of each and when they will be reydy to ship, and the result has been that the buy ers are right after me either person ally or by mail, and naturally I al ways get the highest market price. If I want a cow, a steer, a horse or a dozen oj each, I Insert a little adver tisement that costs maybe 25 cents; and instead of traveling over the country inquiring of my neighbors who has this or that for sale, the home newspaper does it for me at less expense, and those who have what I want manage to let me know in some way.” Here is 0 suggestion that might be profitably utilized by Cherokee farmers.
