TO OL’K 81'BSC'KIBEKS. For some time we have been fear ing that the continued increase in ihe price of white paper would force us to raise the subscription price of The Ledger. Up to the time we pur- chused 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 gel 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 bo 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. THKCAKl’KT MILL CASK. The Cally Ferry case against the Carpet Mill resulted in a mistrial. It is currently reported and believed that the jury on the final test stood eleven to one in favor of the mill. It is a matter of regret that the jury could not agree and thereby settle the case once for all. Either party to the suit had better suffer some in justice, than bear the expense and trouble of repeated and protracted litigation. One of the counsel for the plaintiff took occasion in his address to the ( jury to censure this paper for articles which have appeared in its editorial and local columns a week or two ago. The learned counsel must have been talking solely for the effect upon the ’ minds of the jury, for there was absolutely nothing in that article calculated by the remotest implica tion to make the impression that the plaintiff’s claims for damages were unjust. We merely expressed regret ; that the case could not bo settled | outside of the courts, affirming our l confidence in Mr. liierck and not questioning the honesty of Mr. Ferry. In saying what we did we only reiter ated what was in many people’s mouths and expressed the sentiments of a large portion of our citizens. The case was one of public interest, that is, of interest to Gaffney and this whole community, and if a newspaper cannot speak out. cautiously at least, as this one did. under such circum stances, then the town and county have no use for a newspaper. There is a greater evil under the sun than anything Thu Ledger has said about the Carpet Mill case, and it is to be found in the amount of lit igation and consequent animosity stirred up by lawyers who are so eager for cases, that they accept them for fers contingent upon the results that may be reached Again, the law yer who will try to prejudice and sway the minds of jurors by any o in r means than by the force of facts and logical deductions from them, is doing a more unfair thing than a newspaper does when it ex- presMS its opinion of the merits or demer.ts of hi* case. Hi OIKS AND tOMWKNTS. South Carolina is so fixed in nation al politics that a presidential cam paign hardly causes a ripple. We doubt if one-half of the intelligent voters know when the election will take place. 'Fids is a case in which ignorance is bliss. Really, the hap piness and prosperity of the average citizen are not in the hands of either Bryan or McKinley. The pleasures and comforts of home, the training of the children, the success of the farm or the store, the delights of so cial intercourse with friends and neighbors—these make temporal hap piness, and these depend mainly on the man himself. ♦ ♦ Our correspondent ••Bachelor” made some good points in ids last communication. His suggestion that farmers cultivate only their best land and Jet their poor land grow up in timber for the use of future genera tions was both wise and benevolent. Those who are to come after us will complain bitterly of the selfishness and greed of this generation, and they will have good cause to com plain. The man who limits his plans and confines his purposes to the boundaries of this short life, is too narrow to bo of any use to bis kind, too selfish to be loved, too penurious to be happy, and is doomed to die a miserable and disappointed man. Two negro boys, nine and twelve years old respectively, were recently tried and convicted in one of the courts of this state for burglary and sentenced, one, to six months and the other to twelve months in the penetentiary. That was about the worst thing that could have been done with them, either from their own standpoint or from that of so ciety. A good sound thrashing was what they needed, and if their parents would not give it to them nor consent for others to administer it, then they ought to have been arrested and sent to the penetentiary instead of the boys. No public reformatory is needed for such boys. The place to reform them is at home, and the means are always ready at hand. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The spirit of education was never higher in South Carolina than it is at the present time. From all quarters comes the nows that the schools and colleges are full, and every where there is manifest enthusiasm on the question of education. The genera tion now coming in will have oppor tunities never enjoyed by any pre vious generation in this country, and a few years more will sitt’e the ques tion as to whether education is a specific for political, social and moral ills. We use the word educa tion in its commonly accepted sense, and we predict that there will be thirty years from now just us much political corruption, just us many social vices, just as much all-round rascality as can be found in the land today. If this prediction should be questioned, we stand ready to give reasons. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The camps of Confederate veterans in Cherokee county and in the State ought to wear uniforms. Suits of a good heavy article of Confederate gray can be had for five dollars each, and this is much cheaper than any other clothing they can wear of equal comfort and durability. Then there is always something attractive and inspiring in a neat uniform—some thing that quickens the pulse and strengthens a man’s courage. In this case the uniform would show to the world that the veteran is proud of his acts, both in the past and the present, and would be a murk of honor before the eyes of the younger genera tion, an object lesson of puiriotism and valor. It is our opinions further that, if the veterans will uniform they will find new life imparted to their organization and they will feel and manifest a livelier interest in its ob jects and purposes than ever before. There is hardly one of them who will not spend as much as five dollars for clothing this winter. Why not buy a suit of Confederate Gray—the best cloth ever made. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ At last the season is actually changing. The slanting rays of the sun are losing their fierceness and the hot ocean of air that seethed like a cauldron for so many months, no longer fed so bountifully from the great central furnace, is cooling down to a temperature that is bearable and respectable. August and September broke all records for heat. October came in as if resolved to carry out the programme of the previous months. But while Nature has her whims and sometimes exhibits a few anomalies, she has a programme of iter own which she is sure to take up again after every little indulgence of her whims and fancies. The sun slants more and more to the South; the hot wave departs, no one knows how or whither; the cool breath of autumn comes creeping down from the north chilling the flowers and tinging the leaves with brown and red and yellow; and soon the white frosts will blight the fields and gardens and cold bleak winter will be with us again. It is thus the changes come and will come, with few irregu larities, until the end of time. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We frequently have a word to say to our town council, but we wish to assure the gentlemen who compose that council that we never say word in an officious or captious spirit. We take it for granted that they don’t know everything and that they can t sea everything, and that a private citizen cun sometimes dis cover needs and abuses, which they in their official capacity are not ex pected to know. In such cases we do not think it officious or imperti nent to acquaint them of the facts or even to utter complaints. Now we do not think that traveling adver tisers and show men should be al lowed to take possession of the streets in fantastic scare-crow costumes, at tended perhaps by the beating of drums, the ringing of bells, the striking of tin pans, or whatever else will make a hideous, unearthly noise, to the endangering of the lives of all who may happen to be driving spir ited horses. In large cities horses pay no attention to such sights and sounds, but in a town like Gaffney, most of the horses have country habits and manners and have never been “city broken.” The whole business ought to be stopped. At least that is ouropinion. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Eocal Item* Too-.Sliort for a Head Grouped Together. Send to Secretary Holloway at Pomaria, or to W. C Flenniken, Co lumbia, for a Premium List.

John Pettit, son of J. W. Pettit, who lives near here, picked 444 pounds of cotton one day this week. This was certainly “clawing” the fleecy article, and we should like to hear from any one who can beat it. Rev. S. T. Creech is conducting a protracted meeting at Beulah church, near Grassy Pond.

This is a true in dex to the extent of the building now going on as so much cement has never before been received in Gaffney for the trade at one shipment. Another account of the accident which befell Capt. I. M. Moore, at Rock Hill, says that his arm was am putated at the wrist and not at the elbow, as the first account stated. It also says that aside from the in jury to his hand, he was not other wise hurt, and is doing nicely. Now for The Great Cirrus. The Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' Union of Greatest Menage ries, Circuses and Hippodromes which will come to Gastonia Thursday Oct. 18th, and to Spartanburg Friday Oct. 19th, after a second season’s over whelming success in Madison Square Garden, New York city, seem- to be fully justfied in its advertising claims by the many good and impartial things said of it. Every newspaper in New York praised it to the limit, and Senator Chauncey M, Depew noiced the general opinion in saying: “Your show is novel, brilliant, up-to- date. exhilarating and absolutely clean.” “The biggest circus that New York ever saw,” says the World, and that is just what everyone, every where, who has seen it says. The listed living wonders and high-class act and races supply enough entertainment to astonish and amuse a nation. The biggest canvass on earth are filled with the biggest collection of rarest wild beasts, the biggest herds of performing ele phants, the biggest troupes and schools of trained quadrupeds and amphibia, and the biggest circus and hippodrome companies, who present a hundred splendid acts and races in three rings, on elevated stages and pedestals, overhead, and on the big gest course ever canopied. To par ticularize would be impossible,but an idea of the stupendous scale upon which the aggregation is conducted may bo gathered from the fact that it employs a thousand men and horses, introduces nineteen great male and female bareback eques trians, has a whole comic circus of twenty-five world-famous clowns, and, altogether, some three hundred noted representatives in every branch of arenic art, from sprites and bicy cles in mid-air to supple Hamsun* on the ground. The daily morning street parade presents many wild beast displays and magnificent spec tacular effects.

In his usual forcible manner Rev F. C. Hickson preached an able ser mon to a large congregation at Provi dence Bundav morning. His text was, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Mr Hickson put a great deal of stress upon the fact that what the devil gives to us is only the wages he has promised us for our services for him. “And,” says Mr. Hickson, “he never pays us what he promises to pay. If he promises honor, lie gives disgrace; if riches, he gives poverty; if happi ness, lie gives misery.” In speaking of these wishy-washy, weather-vane politicians he said: “The devil never has asked a politi cian to come right out and say, ‘I am on the devil’s platform.’ But he tells him to be on everybody’s platform and to talk to please everybody and offend nobody. In fact lie must have no backbone. Why, the very first thing the devil does for such a man is take out his backbone and in its stead he puts a rubber spinal column so the poor foolish man can bend in every possible direction, and even sit down on his own head if he so wishes.” In conclusion Mr. Hickson said: “Mind you. it is not wages we get from God; but a gift. A gift of eternal life.” Just after services, Feletia, the in fant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Haas, was laid to rest in Providence cemetery. The little one had been a sufferer ail its life, so the Great Physician in love and tenderness reached down and took the frail little one to a home where no pain nor suf fering will ever come. Mr. and Mrs. Haas live near Blacksburg, but they have a host of friends and relatives here who ex tend to them their heartfelt sympa thy in their sad bereavement. Look up father and mother, your little one is waiting for you just over the river. No more can she come to you, hut you may go to her.

As we go to press the sad intelli gence reaches us that Earnest Parker, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Parker, died about 10 o’clock last night at his home on Limestone street. He had been ill for some time with ty phoid fever, but people generally did not know he was so low, and the news of his death was quite a surprise to them. Earnest William Parker was born February 11th, 1884, and was there fore in his sixteenth year. He was a genial, sunny-spirited and sociable young fellow, true to his friends and to the higher instincts of duty, and he was liked by everybody who knew him. It will be remembered that he was for a long time messenger boy at the telegraph office when Mr. Fay Gaffney had charge there, and when the operators on the road went out on a strike Earnest followed them, believing it to be his duty to stand true to his profession and to his em ployer. He will be sadly missed by liis young associates and by others as well. The devotion of his relatives dur ing iiis illness was something touch ing to see, and if love and kindness could save, he would not now be dead. To them we extend our deep est sympathy. The funeral services will take place at 4 o’clock this afternoon at the home on Limestone street, and the interment in Oakland. Another Contribution from Draytouville. We acknowledge receipt of $1.12 from the Draytonville Sunday school for the storm sufferers hi Texas. The money was handed us by Mr. J. A. Northey, and it makes the second contribution from that church to this worthy cause. We are sorry to say contributions for the Galveston sufferers are coming in slowly, and this should not be so in a land of plenty like this part of the country. It is a noticeable fact, too. that most of those who have con tributed to the fund are people who were much less able to give than a great many others who have not con tributed anything at all. Remember, that every little is a help, and that it takes small things to build up large ones. An Acknowledgment.

Galveston, Texas, Sept. 20. Dear Sir:—At the time of the storm, Sept. 9th, we had in press a very handsome publication entitled, “Picturesque Galveston.” It is a book of sometbieg over a hundred pages, printed on 80-pound coated paper, filled with views of this, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It was to have been issued this week by the business men of Galveston as a souvenir advertise ment of the city. We find that pos sibly one-haif of the edition can be saved and are now binding those copies and will have them ready for delivery very shortly. We have tendered the profits of this publication to the Galveston Re lief Committee and under their aus pices the book will be sold to the general public at $2 00 a volume. Tho hook is one of the handsomest things that has ever come from the printing press, and is a souvenir of Galveston of the day before the storm. As a record of what the city was, and as a prophecy of what the city will be when restored, this vol ume is well worth the money, as it is the only thing of record in that line. Besides, purchasers will have the sat isfaction of knowing that they are contributing to the relief of thou sands who were left homeless and destitute by the hurricane. We beg to request that you will at once in your columns advertise this volume and receive orders for this book, forwarding the same to us with the money at the rate of $2 a volume. We feel that we may appeal to you in a fraternal spirit and that you can safely gua-antee to purchasers full value for their money. We will be able to save, perhaps, 3 000 or 4,000 volumes. Of course, the first orders received will be the first orders filled. Orders received after the edition is exhausted will be returned with the cash. May I not personally appeal to you in behalf of humanity to push this little enterprise in your columns? For yourself alone, you will find the book a satisfactory investment. Pos sibly you can get your business or ganizations to take a few copies, and certainly many people of artistic taste in your city will be glad to have a volume. I can assure you upon honor that they will not bo disap pointed. Address all orders and make checks payable to the Galveston Tribune. Begging your early attention, I am, Yours very truly, Clarence Ousley, Editor Galveston Tribune. Approved in behalf of The Galves ton Relief Committee, W. A. Me- Yitie, Chairman. Local Cotton Report.
