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. Well, "Barkis
is willin’. ”

Some fellow has discovered that
glass insulators under the legs of a
bedstead will cure the occupant of
insomnia. The theory is that the
bed being ordinarily connected with
the earth, the magnetism of the
body Hows to the earth and thereby
causes sleeplessness. The insulating
glass will prevent this and thereby
cure the disease by removing the
cause. The experiment is easily
tried.

A private letter from Prof. R.
Means Davis, of the South Carolina
College, addressed to the editor of
this paper, encourages the hope that
be will soon have leisure to begin
regular work on the history of the
reconstruction period in South Caro
lina. The book Is badly needed and
Prof. Davis will make it more thrill
ing than a wild border tale, while he
will render a service to truth and to
posterity beyond all price.

Spartanburg has been playing the
city of late and appears to have had
her head slightly turned, if we are
to take the Herald as her spokesman.
That usually clear-headed paper de
clares that Spartanburg will be the
metropolis of the state in—we forget
how short a time. We shall rejoice
with you, contemporary, over the
rousing event, when it may come, but
we are afraid that it will take some
thing more than chicken shows,
rope-walking, fiower-bedeoked bug
gies, and lectures on Gen. Lee, to
bring about the climax of your
vision.

Limestone College is making pro
gress in securing historical docu
ments for the Winnjo Davis School
of History. 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!
When uruind for ri^ht they stood sublime
And tyrants erouchfd before them."

Dr. C. A. 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.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
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.

Mr. Alfred Harris, one of Algood’s
leading spirits, and a man of sub
stantial personality, waa in to see
us Wednesday. He bad iu his pos
session an odd-looking piece of soup
stone in the shape of a shoe last, ex
cept that it was curved at one end
near the middle and a small ridge on
the bottom side.
it was found on his farm and was
broken in two, but each piece was
intact. No one, of course, knows
what it is, nor what it was used for;
but the shape, and the very evident
fact that it is a relic of primitive
days gives support to the belief that
it was used by Indians for a mocca
sin lust, Jt was smooth, nicely
shaped, and in a good statu of preser
vation; and it sliowed the wonderful
facility with which tho native In
dian fashioned his necessary imple
ments with tho simple means and
crude material at is command.

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.

What They Say About....
Harris Lithia Water:
Mr. J. T. Harris:
Dear Sir—1 have found the use of the water
from your Lithia Spring In South Carolina so
efficacious in the case of a young lady pa
tient of mine, who has suffered for years with
Diabetes, with all Its different attendants,
that I want to add my testirnonal to the
many you already have. The patient 1 refer
to has used the water freely at home for
scarcely a month now, with more beneficial
results than from months spent at different
lithk springs in different parts of tho United
States, besides Long continued use of the
same waters at homo. Other of my patients
and friends are now using the same with lx:st
results. 1 cordially recommend it to all suff
ering from similar diseases.
Very respectfully yours,
Thomas 8. Powem,, M. I).

unexcelled for those ailments requiring the
salts It contains.

sity of Georgia.”
Ashevim.e, N. C., April 24, 1W8.—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 best/
Lithia Water known to the profession. In the
condition of Phosphatic Urine, Its action is
marvelous. Its use in the Rheumatic and
Gouty diseases afford me more comfort than,
either the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters.
Very truly yours,
John Hky William, M. D.

great deal of good, and 1 think it a most val
uable remedy.
