The: BY Ed. H. DeCamp. PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAY SUBSCRIPTION PRICK: (:ash in advance, per year.... $1 00. On time, per year $1.50. RKMEMHEK. On January 1, 1901, the subscrip tion price of The Ledger will be raised from $1 to $1.50 a year. Those who desire to do so may renew their sub scription at the rate of $1 a year provided they do so before January 1. Do not delude yourself with the idea that we will make any exception to this r 'e, because we positively will not. Look at the date on your label and see that it corresponds with the date on your receipt, then you can tell when your time is out. We wish to retain ail our subscribers and trust that not one will withdraw their support on account of the rise in the price, as we certainly would not raise the price were it not for the fact that there has been a corresponding in crease in the cost of producing the paper by a rise in the price of mate rial. JOHN L. M. IRBY. John L. M. Irby who died at his home in Laurens, last Sunday morn ing, was more than an ordinary man. He was the descendant of a family that stood high in the estimation of the people, and he had inherited much of the strength of character and many of the sturdy virtues of his ancestors. His father, whom he very much resembled in appearance, was Lieutenant Governor of the State and came within a very few votes of be ing elected governor, at a time when men only of the true mould were elevated to high positions of trust and honor. Those who were inti mately associated with him were impressed with his broad intellect, his inflexible purpose, his rugged greatness. There was a time when ‘‘Jim Irby,” as he was called, was the ruling spirit of Laurens county and a strong factor in the councils of the State. The son came forward at a time of great corruption and demoraliza tion, and it is charitable to assume that his failure to rise to the meas ure of his father was duo more to his surroundings than to his own inher ent faults. He was a great organizer, a skillful manipulator of public as semblies, and was the master spirit of the movement of 1890. It is prob able that but |for him, Ben Tillman would now be on his farm near Au gusta and the so-called reform move ment would have been smothered in its infancy. Yet when”he and Shell and Tillman had created a storm which they could not control, be had the manhood on several occasions to throw himself across its path and to attempt to check its force and veloc ity. He was a man of violent temper when aroused, and yet he bad a ten der place in bis heart for suffering and sorrow. He had the courage of his convictions and was loyal to his friends. Let the mantle of charity hide bis frailties and his noble quali ties only be remembered. APPRECIATED WORDS. The following paragraph is copied from the editorial columns of the Spartanburg Herald of last Wednes day : The Hurald desires to lx: placed on record as saying that the citizens of OafTney who in a very <iuiet and unostentatious way have contributed over $4,000 to l>e applied to a school of iiistory and the Winnie Davis Hall, in connection witli Limestone College, de serve the highest praise and the apprecia tion of the entire Ktate. The building of sucit an institution reijuirea an immense out- ay of time, of energy and money—it is a 1)1 g undertaking. We believe that the citizens of Gaffney are determined to do their part in such a way as to show to the world at largu that they deserve success, and we believe that the whole State and Indeed the entire South will come to their assistance. Few towns have shown more public spirit, greater local pride than Gaffney. The people are possessed of indomitable energy. They be lieve in their own resources and possibilities. They have made great strides industrially and they take a deep Interest in Limestone College. The people of Gaffney will highly appreciate these kind, generous, encouraging words of the Herald and will not soon forget them. Such generous words honor alike the able, high-toned journal that published them and the men whose public spirit and unselfish devotion to a noble enterprise, called them forth. NOT EH AND COMMENTS. The weather has been fine for sow ing wheat and paying taxes. If either duty should be neglected and you should have cause for bitter regrets, don’t blsme the weather. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Can any one tell how the telephone wires can become crossed in still weather? The person who will an swer this question will be a public benefactor. Again: How can a telephone wire become suddenly con nected with the dynamo in the power house? The person who answers this question will be recommended to membership in the French Acad emy of Sciences. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Last 1 uesday was a big day in Charleston. The corner stone of the great exposition was laid with im posing ceremonies. The Grand Lodge of Masons being in session took a leading part, while orders from a dis tance representing many branches of industrj, and distinguished citizens from many parts of this and other states actively participated. The exposition is gathering momentum and is bound to come. The building boom in Gaffney is still on. The big brick barn and stables of the Gaffney Live Stock Company are nearly finished and on every street radiating from the town there are cozy cottages and com fortable mansions rising in, blocks. The main business streets are begin ning to resound with the rush and roar of city life, and the end is not yet. Still there is plenty of room and a cordial welcome for all out siders, who may wish to join the procession. The democrats on the committee of ways and means in congress, make a minority report in which they claim that the war taxes ought to be reduced $70 000,000 and that this can be done without detriment to the public service. We have no doubt they tell the truth, and yet we do doubt that if they were in the majority and had control of the money, they would see tho truth half so clearly as they now do. A great deal depends on the standpoint from which you view a thing. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ It is not generally known that there is in Limestone College a “So ciety for Philosophical Inquiry.” composed of the resident portion of the faculty and of many of the ad vanced students. This society is in close affiliation with a similar so ciety in Washington, and its mem bers are pleased with the wide op portunities that open up before them. The society meets every two weeks and is at present studying the philos ophy of Plato. Limestone College is moving along broad lines and up ward to high achievements. •» ♦ ♦ ♦ The government report recently is sued fixed the present cotton crop at 10,500,000 bales, whereupon the price fell 50 points in a few hours. No other man is so completely at the mercy of everybody else as the farmer. Some man rises up in New Orleans and guesses at the cotton crop, and his guess, however wild,may cost the farmers of tho south mil lions of dollars. How does the government know how many bales of cocton are made this year, when probably three-fourths of it has not come into sight? And what right has the government to be making any predictions about it? It has busi ness enough of a legitimate character on hand to attend to without devot ing time to guessing at what the cot ton crop is going to be. Our town council has recently sent a man to the chain gang for vagrancy. This was eminently right and proper and we hope it is just the initial step towards ridding the community of the horde of idlers and loafers who throng our streets and threaten our homes. The man who will not work is guilty of a crime before mau and God. His Creator commanded him to work and society demands that he shall at least work enough to support himself. If he refuses to do this, he is on the road to theft and becomes a nuisance in the body politic, a putrid excrescence on so ciety, and a standing menace to the rights and interests of any commun ity. Send him to the chain gang. Mr. Mayor and gentlemen of the Board of Aldermen, every time you can catch him. It is a subject upon which an in telligent opinion can hardly be formed without the requisite sta tistics, but it does look like that the reaper, Death, has been unusually busy during the past two or three months. Many prominent men have fallen and all over the country both young and old have been cut down. Epidemics of typhoid fever are re ported from several of the large northern cities, and grip and pneu monia have been unusually fatal. While no epidemic has raged in our state, yet sporadic cases of sickness have been numerous and in some parts of the state these have been of a peculiarly malignant type. There is no complete immunity from sick ness and death, but much can be done to ward off disease by proper sanitation about the home, and a little intelligent care bestowed upon the needs of the body in regard to clothing, diet, exercise, sleep, and exposure. If self preservation is the first law of nature, then the first duty of every one would appear to be the proper care of the body. We do not know what our Board of Health is doing, but we do know that the health of the town demands that it be vigilant and active.

Carroll, Carpantir & Humphries, A COLUMN OF MEDICINE TWO THOOSANP FEET HIGH. A United States Senator’s Letter. UNITED STATES SENATOR McENERY, OF LOUISIANA. Hon S. D. McEnery, United States Senator from Louisiana, says the following In regord to Pe-ru-na: Pe-ru-na Drug Manufacturing Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen—Pe-ru-na is an excellent tonic. I have need It sufficiently to say that I believe it to be all that you claim for it. Very Respectfully, S. D. McEnery. Three Car Loads Daily, To meet the demands for Pe-rn-na as a catarrh remedy daring the fall and win ter three car-loads per day is required. Few people comprehend what an im mense amount of Pe-ru-na this is. It is eighteen hundred dozen bottles of Pe- ru-na, each bottle containing twenty ounces. This amounts to twenty-one thousand six hundred bottles, or four hundred and thirty-two thousand ounces, or three million four hundred and fifty-six thousand doses. Three car-loads of bottles of Pe-ru-na placed end to end in a single row would extend over four and a half miles; ar ranged in a column one foot square they would mako a column nearly two thou sand feet high, four times as high as the highest cathedral tower in Europe, and nearly twice as high as the famous Eiffel tower. Remember, this amount of Pe- ru-na is shipped daily to meet the enor mous demand for this wonderful catarrh remedy. The facilities of the Pe-ru-na Medicine Company are taxed to their utmost to keep up this remarkable output, week after week, and month after month. This ever-increasing stream of Pe-ru-na finds Its way into thousands of homes in every state In the Union. Pe-ru-na is as ef ficacious to cure the winter catarrh of New England as the summer catarrh of Texas. Pe-ru-na is an absolute panacea for the climatic dis- easesof summer and winter. It is the safe-guard of the home amid the bliz zards of Montana, and tho ever-pres ent, never-failing remedy for tho ills that beset thehouse- hold in the sweltering heat of Florida. Mrs. Maggie Turner, Holly Springs, Miss., writes: “About fifteen years ago I was taken with catarrh of the head. I tried several dcotors and all the patent medicines I could hear recommended for catarrh. I spent several hundred dollars and found no relief. I was grad ually growing w’orse and was given up to die. Last September Pe-ru-na was recommended to me by a friend and I began to take it. I had no faith in any thing any more, as I was not able to sit up, and was a mere skeleton. After I had taken one bottle of Pe-ru-na I began to iqaprove. I am now taking the ninth bottle and believe myself to be perma nently cured. I have discharged all my help, am doing my housework alone, and: weigh 155 pounds. Althongh I am 41 years old I feel as well as I did at 16.” Contractor Roberts in a recent lettei to Dr. Hartman as to the merits of Pe- ru-na says: “Your remedy Pe-ru-na has cured my boys entirely of catarrhal troubles and now I have three of the healthiest boys in the state of Iowa, which I attribute to the good effect of your medicine. My wife had a stomach trouble which Pe-ru-na also cured. Alto gether for my whole family we have saved $500 in doctor bills. I am a contractor and mason by trade and am known all over Northwestern Iowa. I have had stoi iach trouble which has been greatly relieved by your remedy Pe-ru-na. We think it is the greatest medicine on earth.” Mrs. Elizabeth Grau, New Athens, III., says: “For two years I had catarrh of the nose very bad. Sometimes it was so bad that I could not sleep at night. I doctored with two physicians, but they did not help me. I read about Pe-ru-na in the paper and got a bottle of it. I then wrote to Dr. Hartman and he said I should continue to take it. I took it until I was entirely well. Whosoever follows Dr. Hartman’s advice will get well.” Are the nostrils stopped up? Is first ono and then the other nostril stopped up ? Is there a discharge from the nose ? Is there dropping from the back part of the nose into tho throat ? Is your sense of smell affected ? Do you have pain in the nose? Does your nose smart? Do you sneeze often? Are you troubled with nose bleed? Do you blow your nose frequently ? Is the discharge from your nose thick or thin? Is your breath offensive ? Do you snore while lying on your side ? If so, you have chronic nasal catarrh and should attend to the matter at once. A short course of Pe-ru-na will cure you now, but if you put it off it will take longer. Besides the disease is liable to spread to tho throat and lungs. Free books on catarrh sent by Tha Pe-ru-na Drug M’Pg Co., Columbus, O. Mrs. O. T. Mc- Hargue.Bozcmp.n, Mont., says: Pe- ru-na cured me of a supposed poly pus, catarrh aiid throat trouble. J, D.
