TIIK t'7 Alt OK KI HKIA. The Czar of Russia is sick. Ac cording to one account, he has ty phoid fever; according to another, his disease is grip. Whatever may be the nature of his ailment foreign ministers have not been admitted to an interview with him in nearly two weeks. Ho far as the Czar is simply awakens anxiety and alarm through out the civilized word. Probably In the history of the hu man race more momentous issues have never before hung upon the life of one man. He is the ruler of de cidedly the greatest power in the world today. He can arm, equip, and maintain a force of six millions of fighting men—men deeply imbued with the love of country, inured to hardships and careless of danger. Rut the Czar is a wise, well-bal anced, peace-loving ruler. A few years ago he proposed to the nations of Europe to enter into an agreement by which all their great standing armies should be disbanded, and the nations should settle their differences by diplomacy and negotiation rather than by war. Ho was accused of insincerity and hypocrisy, but there is nothing in his character—certainly nothing in his conduct—that would lead us to believe that the offer was not made in good faith. Had this proposition been met with favor and the great standing armies of Europe been dis banded, wars would practically have ceased from the want of ready means of waging them, and the nations would have taken a long stride to ward the millenium on earth. If this great autocrat should die and his successor should from either ambition, or self-interest or vain glory, or whatever motive, adopt a different policy, Europe would be shaken to its foundations and per haps the map of the eastern hemi sphere would be entirely changed. JEALOUS TOWNS. Spartanburg and Greenville have long been jealous of each other, and their jealousies sometimes come down to a level with those of little boys who are just beginning to exhibit some crude notions of manhood. The Herald and the News wrangled for a long time as to which of the two towns was the larger, and not be ing able to settle that weighty ques tion, they now pass to other matters connected with material progress. Greenville twits Spartanburg on hav ing to get a Greenville contractor to extend a railroad track in the latter town, and Spartanburg shows clearly that she didn’t get the man because he wan a Greenville man, but be cause her own men were all busy. Again it is claimed that Greenville is planting her trolley posts in the mid dle of the street because Spartanburg has hers planted on the side, and Greenville uses iron posts because Spartanburg has wooden ones. Gaffney “looks and laughs at a’ that.” We are going ahead over here as rapidly as Greenville and Spartanburg—more rapidly when the long start they had is considered. Our streets are daily extending, and every contractor, carpenter, and bricklayer that can possibly be ob tained here or elsewhere, is working six days in every week while brick kilns. saw mills, and lumber trains are all in a push. Wo haven’t time to be jealous of anybody, and we don’t care a row of pins whether the posts are of wood or iron, nor whether they are planted on the sides of the street or in the middle. THAT ADVKRTJSEMKNT. For the benefit of some of our hila rious critics we wish to say that we acknowledge to an oversight in the reading of that dispensary advertise ment in the Columbia State. We merely glanced at it as we do at all dispensary literature, and we failed to note that the name of a Baltimore firm was attached to it in a manner that could hardly bo distinguished between a signature and reading mat ter. We fail, however, yet to see how this signature greatly affects the moral principle involved in the ad vertisement. Io is certainly an anomaly in business methods for a wholesale house to do the advertising for the retail dealers to whom it has I old its goods. It is furthermore an inusual transaction for a business irm in another state to advertise in his state goods which no private itizen would be allowed to advertise nd sell, nor to buy except under overnmental restrictions. Tne dispensary is a party to this dvertisement, and, as the State is he sole proprietor of the dispensary, urnishing all the money and getting 11 the profits, we fail to see how it an so “whip the devil around the tump” as to escape all moral re- pone! bility. McKJNUKY FRQgFKRITY. McKinley prosperity means in- reased prosperity for those already prosperous and diminished chances | for those already poor. A great rise I in prices brings prosperity to those who sell, but death tothose‘who buy, and the buyers are the vast majority. When coal goes up the rich dealers are made richer, but the poor con sumers shiver with cold; when meat and salt become dear the packers and mine owners grow fat and sleek, while the eaters become lean and hungry. When bonds and stocks rise in the market it means nothing to thp masses but that the money power is necessity. Down with McKinley prosperity and give us a prosperity broad enough and impartial enough to bestow its blessings upon the rich and poor alike. WEDDING BELLS AGAIN. Another l’o|>uhir Couple Will Soon Con- HiiinniHte Their Marriage Vowm. Mr. and Mrs. B. K. Humphries an nounce the engagement of their daughter, Mayme Annette, to Mr. Thomas Lafayette Brown, the mar riage to take place January 9th, in the First Baptist church in this city. The marriage will be a notable event and of interest to the many friends of Miss Humphries and Mr. Brown. It will be a morning wed ding of much beauty. Miss Minnie Carroll, a cousin of the bride, as maid of honor, will be gowned in white web and applique over pink satin. Miss Annie Brown will be first bridesmaid and will wear white pean de sole with accordeon plaitings. Mr. James W. Brown will act as best man and Mr. William O. John son as groomsman. The four brothers of the bride, Messrs. W. H. Gooding, W. V., W. F. and C. 0. Humphries, will bo ushers, adding a pretty feature to the occasion. The bride will be given away by her father, Mr. B. K. Humphries. The bride will wear a handsome tailor-made gown of castor cloth, with satin and panne velvet trim mings and hat of velvet to match. Mr. Wade R. Brown, of Limestone College, will play the wedding march. Immediately after the ceremony a reception will be given at the home of the bride, after which the bride and groom will take the south bound vestibule for Florida. Miss Humphries is one of Gaffney’s social favorites, and a lovely young lady of culture and refinement, en dowed by nature with all the charms and graces which are the ornaments and glory of lovely womanhood, and which are so nicely calculated to brighten and sweeten the home of the fortunate man who wins her for his bride. Mr. Brown is one of the most pop ular young men in the city and occu pies a conspicuous place both in the social and business circles of Gaffney. He is an affable, sunny-spirited and generous hearted young man, ad mired by his friends and associates and stands high in the esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens. As an attest to the latter, he was elected to the position of alderman not long since, and is by far the youngest member of the city council. THIEVES ABROAD. Tliuy (a«t in Some Lively Work Around Spurtanhiiri; County. Thieves seem to be abroad in the land. They have been getting in their work in and around Spartan burg at a lively rate in the last week or two, and two or three theft’s have been reported in Gaffney. Some time ago a bicycle was stolen from a shop in the city, but was found by a Ledger man and returned to its owner, and yesterday morning Dick Corry, colored, reported that forty dollars had been stolen from his dwelling house the night before. We take the following from the Pied mont Headlight, published in Spar tanburg: The thieves seem to have taken possession of our county, almost every day the report of some theft is received in the city. That there is a band of professional thieves at work there can be no doubt. Within the past week five horses and mules have been stolen from citizens n and around Spartan burg. Naturally such losses are at tracting attention and are creating consternation. People who have lost horses in this way lately and some who are out hunting the stolen animals were in town last week and they are com pletely bullied, they seem to be un able to receive as much as a clue to the property or the thieves. Reports came in onSaturday of valu able horses being taken from stables Friday night. John Petre, who lives near Cedar Springs, found Saturday morning that his hay mare had beer, taken from the stable. He has dis covered no clue as yet. Pres. Wingo, of Moore’s station, is also said to have lost a horse by theft Friday night. Thieves are not stopping at horses in the way of big stealing. Un Thurs day night Aaron Littlejohn lost a bale of cotton at the Glendale gin. It was taken from the yard and up to this time no clue has been found. Nothing whatever has been heard from the horse and buggy stolen from T. L. Hhippy on Wednesday night. Chief of Police Dean has sent out about 300 descreptive circulars to officers in this state, North Caro lina and Georgia and no doubt a vigorous watch is being kept all around. James Rogers had two mules stolen from him this week and they have not been found. It is the opinion of several officers that this horse stealing is not the work of novices, but that they are experts in the business. |t is seldoqa that such thefts as these are com pletely covered up. lit) FooDm!

Pursuant to a petition of the mem bers of the Cherokee bar and an or der of Governor M. B. McSweeney in answer thereto, a special session of the Court of Common Pleas convened in Gaffney on Monday morning the Pith inst., to run two weeks if neces sary, for the purpose of finishing up some business that was left over from the regular term. Judge Hudson was appointed special judge to pre side at this term, and J. C. Tadlock was commissioned as special stenog rapher to report the proceedings. Only a few cases were disposed of last week. Monday was taken up with drawing the juries and other preliminaries, and no cases were heard on that day. Tuesday the case of Mrs. Elizabeth Perry against Mr. Samuel Jefferies for trespass, came up for a hearing, with Prof. R. O. Hams and Mr. A. J. Perry as witnesses for the plaintiff. The court having taken a recess and on reconvening the defendant’s coun sel announced to the court that the defendant was quite sick and unable to be in court, whereupon the fur ther hearing of this case was sus pended until Friday at 10 o’clock, a. m. Messrs. J. B. Bell and W. S. Hail represented the plaintiff and Mr. J. C. Jefferies acted for the de fendant. The court then adjourned until Wednesday Wednesday the case of R. P. Demp sey against E.

To Olmerve TlmukHKivlug. Thaksgiving Day is only one week from day after tomorrow, and we think our business men should con sider the matter of closing their places of business on that day. if they have not already done so. We have much to be thankful for, when we consider the condition and surely we can set aside one day in a year for general rejoicing and thanksgiv ing. The Ledger office, Messrs. J. C. Lipscomb A Bro., and the banks will close on that day, and it is probable that others, if not all, of our business men will do likewise. When we say that the above places will he closed, we mean exactly what the assertion indicates, and there will be no back doors open nor business of any kind transacted in any shape, form or fashion. It is a legal holiday, and were it not, it should be observed for the sentirr,er,t it loiplies and for the purpose which Us name indicate. Comino—R. Brant the well known jeweler of Chester 8.
