\<m llon'l lvi!l;,lil» «'f
a rim i> :
Our legislature
will again tal
VUUK I. A W.
soon to as?
up the subject of
inhle
child
labor in the mills and will again make
matters worse than they found them.
The spirit of
eiuiism is i i ■ mg and
expanding and demagogisin wiil pan
der to that spirit in abject servility,
while it eagerly turns the pm vailing
sentiment to its own little pitiable
advantage.
There are already child labor laws
on the statute books—laws, which so
far us we have observed, have accom
plished no good and possibly no
harm. l>ut our little politicians will
never be content to let them remain
as they are. They must stir some-
must make a noise and,
thing, they
if possible, get up a sensation.
The big mill corporations must feel
their power, the growing class of mill
operatives must have tangible proof
of their devotion and the outcome of
it all must be votes—votes on top of
votes. If there is a thoroughly con
temptible man on earth, it is the
man who puts on the garb of philan
thropy and uses all the cant phrases
of benevolence for purposes that are
wholly and purely stilish.
Wo do not believe that the time
has yet come in this State when labor
laws of any kind are necessary. it
may bo that in the course of a few
more decades when our population
shall have been vastly increased by
an iullux ol a dangerous and irrespon
sible horde of foreigners, it wiil be
necessary for the law-making power
to regulate and enforce labor con
tracts, but under the present condi
tions no such necessity exists. Our
mill presidents, directors and owners
are all, or nearly all, native born
southern men in full sympathy with
the clas^^Muttrs under their
Ml
’"are re-
Tlliy and who
'farms to the factc-
^Ter that they might improve
WTl condition. That they have im
proved their condition and that they
are enabled to procure comforts and
luxuries heretofore beyond their
reach, are evidenced by their re
maining and are proofs, not of injus
tice and oppression, but of fairness
and liberality on the part of_the mill
authorities.
These mill authorities have estab
lished good schools which are kept
open the whole year and are accessi
ble to all. Tney have furthermore
contributed liberally to the building
and supporting of churches of all ue-
r.otninaLions. It is a fact easily ob
servable that the church and school
buildings of the mill towns are fur
superior in every respect to tho
average meeting houses and school
houses of the country, and it is a
fact further known that these mill
churches are among the strongest
numerically and financially in their
respective denominations. All this
doesn’t look like the mill population
is standing in need of special legisla
tion.
-No doubt there are cases of mal
treatment of children, just us there
are such cases on tho farms ami
everywhere else, iiut in the vast
majority of casts where very small
children are worked in the mills, the
authorities have been begged into
luliinttiug them by needy or unfeel
ing parents.
Yet politicians raise a great howl
ovi r these exceptional cases and at
tempt to arouse prejudice against the
mill owners us conscienceless op-
prissors and greedy extortioners.
Why don’t they attempt to fasten
the odium where it belongs, on the
OjHrativv“ iin'm***iv..av
oiiurativt

We sometimes think that the print- j
j ing business is the most provoking
calling a man can follow. It often j
happens that tho very best work of j
the most careful writer is marred by j
the carelessness of another. In the
Christinas edition of The Ledger
there are a number of typhogruphical
errors, one of which is doubly pro
voking. It appeared in the article
concerning the Galloey Manufac
turing Co., and is due entirely to the
carelessness of the compositor who
“over-run” the article. This sen
tence was written: “The company
runs a store but there is ‘no’ coercion
of employees to trade there.” r lho
compositor left out the word “no,
thus making a “bull” that was inex
cusable. Of course we give our read
ers credit for being intelligent enough
to supply a missing link now and
again, but it is exasperating beyond
degree to have an earnest ellort
spoiled in such a manner.

Since lust Christmas The Ledger
has visiied the homes of its patrons
one hundred and three times, it has
been as punctual as clock-work, the
papers having left this office on the
day of publication each time. We
have served our friends as best we
could, and feel that we have worked
sufficiently hard to take a few days
off. The printers have worked faith
fully and they are entitled to some
thing more than the mere competence
they are paid, so we will suspend
operations fur three days, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday. \ou may
look for the old :amiliar face and
form next Friday.

How to Cure Croup.
Mr. It. Gray, who lives near
Amenia, Duchess county, N. Y.,
says: “Chamberlain’s Cough Reme
dy is the best medicine J have ever
used. It is u“line children’s remedy
for croup and jiever fails to cure.”
When given as^soonjus the child be
comes hoarse, or even after the
oroupy cough has developed, it will
prevent the attack. This should be
borne in mind and a bottle of the
Cough Remedy kept at hand ready
for instant use as soon as these
symptoms appear. For sale by Cher
okee Drug Co.
Not man, but the Christ-man, is
the crowning work of creation.
Among the tens of thousands who
have used Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy for colds and la grippe dur
ing the past few years, to our smowl-
odge, not a single case has resulted
in pneumonia. Thos. Whitfield «fc
Co., 210 Wabash avenue. Chicago,
one of the most prominent retajl
druggists in that city, in speaking of
this says: “Wo recommend Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy for la grippe
in many cases, as it not only gives
prompt and complete recovery, but
also counteracts any tendency of la
grippe to result ip. pneumonia.” For
sale by Cherokee Drug Co,

Last nh’ht was an eventful one with
tho Knights of Pythias of Ibis city
and one long to be remembered by
t hoen who participated in tho pleas
ures of tho evening.
At 7 o’clock tho members of Gaff
ney lodge turned out In full force and
met at their Castle Hall. Dr. J. II.
Thornwell, of Fort Mill, Grand
Keeper of Records and Seals, was
present as a disiinguishedjViBitor, he
having come to Gaffney to’i'ffiMutt' in
the marriage of Col. \\ ardluw and
Mi-s Hams. Tj Lr. w
Dr. Thornwell is a gentleman of
the old school, a Chesterfield in de
portment and ranks among the high
est in Pythhinism. He made a short
but eloquent address to his brother
Knights, in which he expressed his
pleasure at being with them und
complimented them very highly upon
the splendid showing they made,
their excellent equipment anti the
enthusiastic interest they manifested
in the welfare of the order. Dr.
Thornwell was well received and his
presence was appreciated beyond
measure.
After the meeting ail repaired to
the Cotnmeiciul Hotel where an ele
gant banquet had been prepared for
them under the supervision of Mr
G. B. Harris, the accommodating and
experienced manager of the hotel.
U this banquet the wives and some
of the lady friends of the members
were present, und gay costumes and
fair faces lent a witchery to the scene
that would have woven a magic charm
around the heart of a stole. This
was the main feature of the evening.
The scene in th ) banquet hall was
lovely beyond description and the
feast spread before the j illy Knights
and their fair guests was tempting in
its variety, rich and sumptuous in
quality and bountiful in supply.
Here one and ail regaled themselves
at will in the midst of the toasts and
general gayety while
“Pleasure (illetl up
’I •> tin- li'uhcst top sparkle,
Kai'h heart uuil each cup.”
Capt. J. B. Bell was toastmaster
for the occasion and the following
toasts were given and responded to:

“The drowsy ear of night was vexed
with mirth” until a late hour when
the merry banqueters dispersed and
wended their way homeward, feeling
that though the night was dark and
stormy it conld not shut out the sun
light of happiness from their souls.

servant alone in the house. He had

ed (’apt. Briggs was lying in a door
that opened into another room from
the one where lie had been writing.
His back was against the door facing
and a foot on each side of the sill,
showing that he had dropped dead
while in the act of passing through
the door. His body was warm when
found, and as the servant had not
been aw ay an hour, he could not have
been dead more than a few minutes.
Capt. Briggs was in his eightieth
year. He hud had a spell in Alay
last, but had fully recovered and was
seemingly in better health than
usual on the day of his death. No
wonder the shock to his family was
great!
The Union Times says:
“Capt. Briggs was one of Union
county’s most highly respected citi
zens. He was 78 years of age. Be
sides his immediate family, a wife,
two daughters, Airs. J. A. Brown.
Mrs. VV. M. Palmer, and one son, Mr.
Gist Briggs, he leaves a host of
friends to mourn his departure. His
remains were interred in the First
Methodist churchyard.
Air. Briggs was a captain in the
late war between the States. He
was a gallant soldier and a kind and
considerate officer, beloved by all in
his command, and by everyone else
who knew him. Peace to his ashes.”

S. B. Hartman, M. D., Columbus, O.:
It Is now seventeen years since I re
ceived the first edition of your book
entitled “The Ills of Life.” I received
It in the evening mail, and before I
retired 1 read and pondered over every
word in the book. I was greatly im
pressed with your candor and sincerity.
The book left no doubt in my mind as to
the remarkable virtues of your Pe-ru-na.
It was because of this impression that I
resolved I would test your assertions,
and test them in a way that comd leave
no doubt.
I began prescribing Po-ru-na, as rec
ommended in your book, and prescribed
it precisely as you directed. As you
know, the prevailing diseases are in
flammations or irritations of the inter
nal organs of tho body, either of tho
head, the throat,
the lungs, bowels,
etc. I prescribed
it h uml reds of
times for these
diseases during
all tho following
seventeen years,
and I have never
lost a single case
during all this
time, although 1
have often related
this to my medical
associates, who at
first expressed

D. P. Niehart, M. D.,
of Nebraska City,
Mo., prescribes Pe-
ru-na every day.
i fmf
words, I prescribed Pe-ru-na for all case*
of catarrhal diseases, I believe you are
right in classing all irritations and in
flammations of the internal organs as
catarrh. Ca
tarrh means
irritation and
inflamma
tion of some
mucous sur
face, and also
that such irri
tation and in
flam mation
are caused
either by tak
ing cold, or by
some local
cause.
I see that
you generally
use a portrait
when you publish a certificate, and as I
have just had some pictures taken, I
enclose you one. You can use it and this
letter, one, or both, just as you wish, if
you think it will promote tho use of
Pe-ru-na. If you would like special
cases that I have treated with Pe-ru-na,
I can give you hundreds of them.
Very truly yours, Dr. J. W. Pence.

One Long to be Remembered by the people who buy Clothing.
We have a Lot of Odd Suits and are going to close them out.
These suits sold here this fall for $5.00, $8.50 and $12.50, but as
there is only one or two of each style left we are going to sell them
at $3.00, $6.00 and $8.00.

when this lot is gone we will stop giving away Overcoats.
These prices go out December 31 st, 1 900, and no one
