THK KLECTION. The election is over, and the coun try with all its belongings is still in tact. The sun rises and sets as usual; the full moon rides serenely over the blue skies at night and the little stars grow pale and disappear in the flood of silver light with which she bathes the heavens and earth; the cool mornings and evenings come on, the flowers wither, the woods are waving their banners of red and gold and the fields are donning their robes of russet brown ; and all things are moving on just as they moved when we first looked on the changing panorama of earth—just as they moved in the time of our fathers and in the time of their fathers, and in the times when the earth herself was young and man had not marred her fair face with cruelty nor tinged her limpid streams with the blood of bis fellowman. It is a foregone conclusion that McKinley is elected. There was no enthusiasm in our state, and hence there can be little depression caused by republican triumph. The most of our people, no doubt, felt a languid preference for Bryan, while a great many no doubt secretly preferred McKinley. McKinley represents the power of money and that power is beginning to be known and felt in the south. The south is making money as it never made it before, and what is more significant, the south is loving money as it never loved it before. It is furnishing an example of that appetite which grows by what it feeds upon." When men become inflamed with the passion fur wealth, there is little room in their natures for patriotism. 1'lie wisest lawgiver of Sparta found it necessary to decree iron as money, in order to check the passion for wealth a id nurse a spirit of patriot ism. R »me loot her liberties and her life when her people had become cor rupted by wealth and enervated by luxury. The Southern Confederacy gave the grandest exhibition of pa triotism and valor since the days of Sparta, when its wealth bad been de stroyed and its only current medium was stamped paper not worth one cent on the dollar. The spirit of pa triotism and the genius of wealth cannot dwell side by side. The money power can love country and people only for what it can get out of them. The whole country is enjoying a season of prosperity. Crops have been bountiful, prices are booming and wages are good. The conditions have been strongly in favor of the party in power. Though the Mc Kinley administration has had no more to do in bringing about and maintaining these conditions, than the captain of an ocean steamer has to do in producing the tides that rise and fall around his ship, yet it is easy for things associated in time to be taken by the muititude to be associated as cause and effect, and hence a great boom has been made for McKinley on the ground of na tional prosperity. People who are doing well at home, are not easily induced to favor radical changes, though those changes may not in ths remotest degree effect the material conditions. As long as the "dinner pail” is full, to the vast mojority, imperialism, plutocracy, and all such things, are mere abstractions—im palpable theories that can never move men against what they take to be present interest and practical material advantage. Then there were serious objections to Bryan, and there was no democrat prominent in national politics, against whom, perhaps, more serious objections could not be urged. It had as well be admitted that the na tional democratic party of the north and west is morally and politically corrupt, it has no leaders who will rank above mediocrity in stalesumn- ship; and it is made up of to many he erogeneous element-, that its ene mies with some show of reason, re gard it as a revolutionary party. It may be fortunate for its own existence and necessary to its future triumph, that it now suffers an over whelming and humiliating defeat. The party needs purification and expurgation, and reverses are the blood purifiers of ail political partier. This material prosperity of which so much has been made, is temporal and factitious iu its character. Al ready there are signs of the coming reaction. It will be far better for the democratic party for the r ic- tion to come under a republican ad ministration. In the mean time let the readers of The Ledger pursue the even tenor of their way. Let them cultivate their lands, improve their stock.look after their merchandise, love their wives, educate their children, and enjoy the blessings of social life with their neighbors and friends. A county superrtsor or a school trustee is a man of more importance to them than the president of the United (States. The worst government ttmt ever existed can affect the average man only indirectly and remotely. No president can prevent him from enjoying the pood things which a kind Providence has placed within the reach of all his children. KOTKS AND COMMENTS. The latest trust we have heard of is one on tin cans. The capital is put down at $50,000,000. You will now pay a few cents extra on every tin can you buy, and the sum total will double that fifty millions in lit tle or no time. During the fiscal year ending with October, in the little state of New Jersey forty-ooe trusts were formed aggregating a capital of $900,000 000. There has been a greater number of trusts formed during the four years of McKinley’s administration than in all the past history of the govern ment. Yet the people want to try it four years more.

That usually clear-headed paper de clares that Spartanburg will be the metropolis of the state in—we forget how short a time.

A few weeks ago Mrs. Lide, of Darlington, presented a most valuable file of the Southern Quar terly Review published iu Charleston during the early fifties and edited by Wm. Gilmore Simms, together with a collection of other important docu ments, now of inestimable historical value. Among the latter is a mes sage of Governor Pickens to a call session of the legislature in which vividly recalls the time when our state was invaded by a powerful foe and when the sublime manhood of those days rose in stern resolve to repel him. One pan hardly read such a paper today without iterating iu his heart the wish of the poet: “Oli! for tin* swords of former time! Oh I for the men who bore them!

Jefferies brought a speci men of the feathered tribe to The Ledger office Wednesday which is quite a stranger in these parts. It was something on the snipe order, except that its bill was short, and its feet were longer and broader. The dictionary pronounces It a Coot— "A wading bird with iobute toes" and common in some parts of the United Htates and in Europe. Dr Jefferies found the bird in his yard Wednesday morning, and how It came there is a mystery, as its like has never been seen around here before.

Etta Jane, Nov. 7.—Our commu nity was shocked to hear of the tragic death of Miss Julia Poole, which took place at Gaffney last week, a full account of which was given in Tuesday’s Ledger, no doubt. Her family have the heartfelt sym pathy of all our people. Mr. J. B. Jones, our efficient and gentlemanly tax collector, assisted by Mr. Huskey, made bis round this week. Only a few tax payers were ready lor him. Mr. Jones will soon retire from tho office with a record of which Cherokee county may feel a pardonable pride. Some of our people took wheat to the roller mill at Gaffney this week, What’s up? Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Blackwell and Miss Maud and Mas ter Edgar all went shopping to Gaff ney this week. Before the first day of January, 1901, we would like to see The Ledger sent to every family in Cherokee county. Friends, send Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp, Gaffney, 8. C . one dollar for a year's subscription and tell him to add your name to “I. L. S.’s’’ club list. It will be impossible for us to see everybody and get their subscription before the time runs out for the price of the paper to rise to $1 50 per year. We simply want everybody to get the advantage of the present low price of the paper, and we are fully assured that The Ledger will be worth more, if possi ble, next year than it ever has been to the reading public. If you are al ready a subscriber, or don’t want it yourself, send it to some relative or friend in a far off state or country and he or she will appreciate it. In looking over Tho Ledger’s list of subscribers we find the names of many persons in the west and else where whom we have long since for gotten, who doubtless read the news from their old home with a great deal of pleasure. Mr. W. R. Walker, who represents the large publishing house of Ginn it Co., of New York, is at his planta tion at Hunnyside looking after his farming interest. He is one of the State’s most progressive farmers and business men. The editor of the Hickory Grove Sun is greatly indebted to u young lady for deciphering a communica tion sent his paper from Alleghany, I’a. He concludes that the Sun's correspondent should use a type writer. Somebody else writes a hard hand to read, too, we presume. We hope, however, that the editor has at last found that he needs a help-mate. A young man in this neighbor hood went to Gaffney one day last week and made some purchases. On returning home he counted up his bill and the money be had left and to his surprise he found that he was two dollars and some cents better off than he expected. Upon u close examina tion he found that the partition in his pocket boo* was worn out and he had been counting the same money over twice. At last he found his bill and money all correct. Here is good advice to young men, It’s coming from Georgia is none the less a reason why it should not be heeded: "My son. follow not the footsteps of the loafer and make no example of him who is born tired, for verily I say unto you their business is over stocked, the seats on the corners are all taken and the whittling places are all occupied. It is better to saw wood at two bits a cord than to whit tle in a loafing match and ‘cuss’ the government. My son, away with the cigarette habit, for lo, thy breath stinketh like a glue factory and thy appearance is less intelligent than a stone dummy. Yes, thou art i ciper with the rim knocked off." We had a meeting of the minstrels at our home on Monday night and listened to some choice music. Mr. VauleyO. Comer is somewhat of a mechanic. He has made a part of a fiddle that would do credit to a New England Yimk®©- Monday night the boys went 'pos sum hunting and caught a veritable wild cat. It weighed about fifteen or twenty pounds. It was as large us a grown fox. After running a considerable race it took refuge in a tree top at the school house and a negro boy Dan Walker, climbed and shook it out. It made a gallant light against five dogs and as many Dr more boys and men, until at last overpowered it rinsed a scream and the dogs soon killed It. it was cer tainly no common bouse cat, as we bear some of our neighbors claim it was. The election passed off quietly, so far us we know. By some means the tickets for solicitor did not get to the Wilklnsville box and the voters hud to write them if they voted for that officer. j. l. h. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

To the Churches of the Itroad River As sociation. Dear Brethren and Sisters:— You have, no doubt, read the account of the death of one of our mission aries, Mrs. vV. E. Crocker, at Fuku oka, Japan, on Sept. 15, 1900. Brother and Sister Crocker Jeft China on account of the troubles and dan gers to which they were exposed dur ing the Boxer movement and they were sojourning at Fukuoka. Japan, at the time of her death. Now our Brother Crocker is alone with his little daughter, who came in o their home just before the death of the companion and mother. He needs our sympathies and prayers while passing through this new experience in a heathen land. You remember that our associa tion endorsed Brother and Sister Crocker as our missionaries and we promised them our hearty sympathy and support. But we have not fully kept our promise in this glorious work. And now Brother Crocker needs our help more than at any other time. We promised to raise $(iOO for him, but we have fallen far short of it. Can we not now come to his help? Will not every church and every member of the as sociation make a contribution to this cause? Drs. Willingham and Botnar beg all of us to do sometbing for Bro. Crocker now. While there are many members of the association who can and perhaps will give $5 00 each, I wonder if there are not four or five hundred who will give one dollar each? The board at Richmond requests each church in the associa tion to hold a special service in mem ory of Sister Crocker and make an of fering for the salary of Bro. Crocker as early as possible. Let us heed their request. B. P. RoHERfSON, Chm’n Special Com. A YlUuire HUvkstulth KuveU ills Little Sun* Life. Mr. H. H. Black, the well-known village blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co., N.
