THE COMING LEGISLATURE. The legislature will now soon con vene again, and it is time for mem bers and constituents to begin to think of the work to be done. The necess'ty of good roads be comes more palpable and prominent every year and this is a subject which should engage the earnest attention of the legislature. Good roads would add immensely to the value of real estate in the country, besides con tributing more to the comfort, con venience, and pleasure of the people at large, than anything else that the State government could now give them; and good roads can be pro vided if the legislature will go about the business in a business-like man ner. The country cannot stand taxa tion, even for the luxury of good roads. The taxes are already higher than they ought to be. But the roads can be built without additional taxa tion—not rapidly, perhaps, but grad ually and surely. The State farms ought to be sold, except just enough land to be culti vated by convicts under a life sen tence, and the youthful criminals consigned to a reformatory. The State has no business with these big penitentiary farms on which vast quantities of farm products are made by convict labor in direct competi tion with its honest citizens. Sell the farms and all other property not needed by the penitentiary and di vide the proceeds, on some equitable basis, among the different counties, to be expended on the roads. Then put all of the able-bodied convicts, except those named above, to work on the same under proper direction, and it will not be long before we shall begin to realize what it means to have good roads. This is about the substance of a recommendation made by G. H. Mc- Master in the Columbia State, and we think any fair-minded man will recognize its wisdom. We are not ready to endorse Mr. McMaster’s views on a child labor law. But if he will suggest one that will punish lazy parents who compel their children to labor too young, we shall go with him. We are not ready however, yet, to take family govern ment out of the hands of those whom God has appointed to rule. NOTES AND COMMENTS. That burning of a negro in Colo rado for cold-blooded cruelty and unmitigated barbarity, has never been surpassed in the south nor in the world. Yet the northern people will continue to howl over the crimes of the southern people and to brand them as barbarians and ruffians, and the negroes will continue to believe that the northern people are the per fection of philanthropy, benevolence and righteousness. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ President Kruger has fled from the Transvaal and landed at Marseilles, on the coast of France. Though he perhaps could have done his country no further good, he would have exhibi ted a loftier spirit to remain and share the fate of his people. The Boers made a defence of which any ruler might well be proud, and it was cowardly to desert them in their time of greatest need. He was re ceived with much •enthusiasm by the generous-hearted French and it is ex pected that be will open negotiations with the conquerors at long range. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Brattons were promptly ac quitted in the court at Yorkville of the murder of Brown, as we expect ed and as public sentiment demanded. In the eye of the law the crime was murder or nothing; but in the eyes of the jury and of the general pub lic it was righteous vengeance wreaked on a man who had sacrificed his right to live by blighting the happiness of another man’s home. The public may be right and the ver dict of the jury may be a righteous one. But after all, the main party to this crime goes unpunished, except in so far as the lashings of conscience, the desertion of friends and the exe cration of all honorable men and women, may punish her. No man invades another’s home as Brown did Bratton’s without having hud as surance of a welcome; no man makes an advance toward the consumma tion of a crime like Brown's without having been either directly or indi rectly invited. ♦ ♦ 4 ♦ The Spartanburg.Journal had re cently a capital editorial on “News paper Platitudes,” which ought to be read and mentally digested by all newspaper men, and especially ap propriated by those newspaper read ers who feel flattered when the home paper prints their names in connec tion with some of these same mean ingless platitudes. The Journal has rendered good service to a patient and long suffering public, by point ing out the ridiculous and often dis gusting practice among newspapers of dumping a load of fulsome com pliments upon every man that comes to town and especially upon every lady who may be so unfortunate as to be heard of by the reporter; and now, if the Journal will take the lead in a movement for reform by ruling out of its personal and newn col umns all inflated and bombastic phraseology, and give us only plain statements and solid facts, it will perform a double service and will de serve, though probably will not get, the thanks of its readers and con temporaries. We doubt, however, if the Journal is bold enough to take this step. If it should decline to speak of thriftless boys as ‘‘rising young business men,” and of very plain girls as “dreams of beauty,” it will not be long before its office will be a very unsafe place for both editor and reporter. It was announced early in the season that the prospects for foot ball in the colleges were very en couraging, and it looks like the pros pects are materializing into realities. One would think from reading ac- couuts of the games, that some of our colleges are bestowing upon them most of their time and energy. The South Carolina Baptist enters a vigorous protest against the game’s being allowed in Furman University, and declares that the institution will lose patronage and inliuence if the authorities do not stop it. The game is brutal and dangerous, and a greater number of deaths are caused by it than by prize fighting. There is much truth in what the Baptist has to say about it, but we doubt if it would be wise in the college authori ties to interdict it. The country is waking up to the importanceof physi cal as well as intellectual develop ment, and while no doubt this game is too violent for healthful exercise, and while the love for it is apt to become something like a passion, and the attendant excitement makes it a species of dissipation, still per haps it is better to tolerate it with all of its evils tiian to discourage manly sports altogether and adopt the college regulations of fifty years ago. Football will have its day and will soon give place to some other college fad and the boys who now play it will soon pass into active responsible life, when they will won der themselves at their own youth ful follies.

Correspondence of Tne Ledger.) Willie, Nov. 19.—Forecast at the Election Nov. the 5th, “Bryan elec tion is almost assured.” Result Nov. the 6th, Mr. Bryan scarcely in it at all. Now, the mystery to us is, how the managers of the campaighn could have been so badly mistaken in their forecast of the election. We pre sume, as there was absolutely nothing to have been gained at that time by lying, that they were honest in their statement that Bryan would b® elec ted. All of which shows how very much one may be blinded by partisan lies. Moral: it is always best to look at things us they exist, instead of the way in which wo would have them to be. We admire the zeal of The Ledger in its fight against the dispensary and for prohibition, but we are now satisfied that all efforts made now, as for years to come against the dispen sary or for prohibition, will be entirely fruitless. Now, we are personally in favor of prohibition, but, from our observa tion and study of the question, we have come to the conclusion that the dispensary law, is perhaps, the best liquor law that we will have in this state, at least, for years to com^g Even if the legislature was to enact a prohibition law, it would avail very little, or nothing. The fact is, the plea of the dispen- saryites, that “prohibition is im practicable,” is about correct. In the first place, a law to be ef fective must be approved by, not only a majority of the voters of the state, but it must meet with the ap proval of the majority of the people of the state. And the fact is, as demonstrated by the last primary election, that not more than one-fourth of the voters of the state are in favor of prohibition, and not more than one- tenth of the people arc in favor of such a law. While it might not be necessary to take^tho negro into consideration in the enforcement of some laws, it is absolutely essential to the enforce ment of a prohibition law to have some regard for their approval. It is absurd in the extreme to enact a lav/ and expect the officers of the law to enforce it unaided by the people, because it is simply impos sible for the offi'’ers to enforce a law which is contrary to the will of the people. In other words, the enforce ment of all laws rests with the people. Therefore, a law, and especially a liquor law, which is contrary to the wish of a great majority of the peo ple, most necessarily go uninforced. Some ardent prohibitionist will be reudy to say, “Pshaw! the negros have nothing to do with the enforce ment of our laws.” But my dear sir, how many negros have you ever known of having informed against a white blind tiger? and did you know that blind tigers could, and would flourish in this State even without the patronage of a single white person? Wo have already had some wed dings in our section, and from exter nal appearances we will have several others in the near future. OCTAVU*. Vast TrustH. [Wilmington Messenger.! The richest company on the earth is the Standard Oil Company. In August last it declared a dividend of 8 per cent—.tS.OOO.OOO—payable the 15th of Septmber last. This is McKinley’s fourth year. It is a time of exceeding prosperity ior—the trusts. There is no mistake here. Carnegie makes by his trusts some $20,000 000 or more for his share each year. The profits of the Standard Oil Com pany are $5,479 each hour. It made this year three dividends in seven months, 20 per cent. 10 per cent. 8 per cent. That is to say, between the 1st of March and the 19th of September, it divided $38,000,000 in profits among the owners of this huge trust. Just try to take that in. It is be lieved that the fourth Installment for the year will be $10,000,000 more or $48,000,000 dividends for one year. Its earnings each day are $131,506. To show,its immense wealth read this which we find in the Chicago Nation al Democrat: ‘‘That is. the Standard 00 Company is making $131,506 a day, or $5,479 an hour. ‘‘The annual report of the comptrol ler of the currency proves that in 1899 the dividends of all the national hanks in the United States were $16, 991,502. ‘■The Standard Oil will pay in div idends this year $48,000,000. “John D. Rockefeller owns 31 per cent, of the capital stock of the Stan dard Oil company of Now Jersey.” This is merely the parent corpora tion of the innumerable subsidiary companies which compose the trust. Each of these companies makes its profits and the trust gets Its share from the ownership of stock in them. Rockefeller owns 49 per cent, of the subsidiary companies. The trust, of which he is a large patron, owns 51 per cent. It is figured that he will do a big business for himself this year. He has received $11,789,000 thus far. Of the subsidiaries bis per cent, share brings him $517,500,000— total for his share for 1900, $48,290,- 000. He is said to be a bad dyspep tic living on crackers and milk. —If you want to be dressed in style buy your Collars and Ties at Al. Poliakoff.

Bird hunters are now scouring the fields in pursuit of their favorite sport, the law for the protection of game having expired the first of this month. It is reported that partridges are plentiful, but rather small yet. We take the following from the Greenville Mountaineer, which will be of interest to hunters of all kinds, and to bird hunters especially, as well as to dealers in game : ‘‘It is strange that so many people are in ignorance of the protection given by the laws of the State against indiscriminate hunting on the lands of others, and that it is unlawful, for instance, for any one to kill par tridges except on his own land at any time. Land owners are not averse to others enjoying the pleas ures of hunting, hut there has been so much reckless conduct on the part of irresponsible persons that there is an absolute necessity for the en forcement of the law, or else the finest species of game will soon be come extinct in this State. It is well to direct the attention of sportsmen to the laws already enacted, and we give the following summary for their benefit: 1. Act of the General Assembly ap proved February 21st, 1898: It shall not be lawful for any person in this State between the first day of April and the first day of November, in any year hereafter, to kill, or injure, or pursue with such intent, aay par tridge, quail, woodcock or pheasant, and any person found guilty of so do ing shall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor, and upon conviction shall be fined not more than $20. 2. Acts of 1898: It shall be un lawful for any person or persons to destroy or rob the nests of any birds named in this act, under penalty etc. 3. Act of General Assembly, Feb ruary, 1900: It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer for sale, or ship or export, any partridge or quail for the space of five years from the approval of this act. Any per son violating this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $30, or imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding 30 days. 4. Section 424 general statutes: If any person, at any time whatso ever, shall hunt or range on any lands whatsoever without the con sent of the proprietor, every such person so offending shall forfeit and pay the sum of $10 for every such offense.” “J have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and find it to be a great medicine,” says Mr. E. S. I'hipps, of Foteau, Ark. “It cured me of bloody flux. I can not speak too highly of it.” This icmedy always wins the good opin- on, if not praise, of those who use it. The quick cures which it effects even in the most severe cases make it a favorite everywhere. For sale by Cherokee Drug Co. Why do people have best clothes?

Not Necessary to Test them on the Patient. In the selection of our chemicals as well as our sundries we exercise the utmost care to buy not what is cheapest but what is best, and to high quality and purity we sacrifice every other consideration. The necessity of exercising the greatest care in the purchase of drugs and chemicals is but rarely recognized hy the general public. A mother will spend many hours in the wearisome search of the most suit able clothes for her children ; a father will devote time and labor to provide the best class of regular necessa ries for his family ; when, however, it comes to medi cines, the handiest and cheapest thing to be obtained is often considered good enough. We believe that the preparation of tinctures and extracts, on whose pu rity the physician’s success depends, is too important a matter not to be properly manufactured and in which the purest drugs have entered.
