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.

Another account of the accident

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.

PREACHING AT PROVIDENCE.
Mr. llickHou Preached to a Large Congre
gation Sunday Morning.
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.
Sleep uii Feletia, sweetly sleep,
In wrath God did nut come;
He only sent His angel dear.
To take thy spirit home.
EARNEST PARKER DEAD.
lie Itreathed His Last at Ten O’CToek
Last Night.
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.
The following lias been received by
Mrs. Pierson and Mrs. Gaffney in
answer to the box sent the Galveston
sufferers last week.

LETTER FROM GALVESTON.
KollcItlbK Hales for m Hook In Behalf of
tho Kuffercn).
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.

anything else for Indigestion or Bil

they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration. Heart Failure,

clean out the system and stop fer

the nervous and organic action of the

I'arker anti Not Tate.
In commenting upon the case of
the State against Obediah Parker in
the account of court proceedings in
our issue of Oct. 2, the types made
