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.

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.

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.

GAME LAWS.
Statute* Regarding the Hunting and Sell
ing of Itlrd*.
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

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. We therefore
invite you cordially to visit our pharmacy, where we
will welcome you and show you our facilities, whether
you need our services or not; and we confidently ex
pect to be in a position to convince you of the high
character of our aims and the sincerity of our pur

What They Say About....
Harris Lithia Water:
Mr. J. T. Harris:
Dear Sir I have found the use of the water
from your Lithia Spring In South Carolina so
efficacious in the ease 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 testimonal to the
Uiany you already have. The patient I refer
to has used the water freely at home for
scarcely a mouth now, with more beneficial
results than from mouths spent at different
lithia springs in different parts of the United
States. Im-sPIcs long continued use of the
same waters at home. Other of my patients
ami friends are now using the same with best
results, I cordially recommend it to all suff
ering from similar diseases.
Very respectfully yours,
Thomas 8. Powki.l, M. 1).

“The Harris Lithia Water Is, in my opinion,
unexcelled for those ailments requiring the
salts it contains.

AsnEVir.i.K, N. G\, April 24, 18GB.—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 Phosphatlc 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,
