AN ADDITIONAL SCHOOL TAX. Wo do not take Governor Mc- Sweeney to recommend the legisla ture to levy additional taxes for the free schools, as other papers that have commented on his message say that he does. He speaks of addi tional taxation for the schools, but his language to our understanding implies that he wants the people to form school districts and tnx them selves, as in many places they are already doing. That is the sensible view to take of the situation If peo ple in certain neighborhoods tax themselves, it is nobody else’s busi ness. The truth is that this has al ready been done to such an extent, that it would now be exceedingly un just for the legislature to levy a gen eral additional tax for the free schools. Such a tax on property would bear hardly on the towns and the school districts in the country that are already subjecting them selves to special taxation for their schools. The town of Gaffney, for instance, is paying a special tax of mills for the support of her graded schools. Of course her citizens pay the ll-mill constitutional tax, the poll tax, the dispensary tax, and all other taxes that are imposed for the free schools. Would it be fair now to levy another school tax on prop erty, and require such towns as Gaff ney to bear the same part of it, that other sections hitherto exempt from such taxes would bear? The Columbia State refers to Mr. McMahan’s report, in which it is as serted that there are sections of the State in which a school tax on all the property in a school district would not raise more than forty or fifty dol lars, and the State seems to think that such conditions call loudly for an additional levy on all the prop erty. Now if there are any such places in South Carolina, they are in the swamps or sandhills of the middle and lower part of the State where scarcely anybody lives, and where a school would be as lonely and as much out of place as a sandlapper’s hut would be on fifth avenue in New York City. We wonder if the Columbia State and Mr. McMahan would have the people who are supporting graded schools by a self-imposed tux in ad dition to paying the tuxes levied by law, assume now the additional bur den of establishing and maintaining schools in the swamps and the sand hills. We imagine that a teacher would have a lonesome time in a region where houses are five miles apart, and children are harder to find than squirrels and deer, and harder to tame when found. Such schools would afford opportunity, however, for a few more salaries to he paid out and thus increase the blessings of paternalism, by causing a few more hearts to swell with grati tude and love for a generous and lov ing State. LKK’S UIUTIIDAY Next Saturday, the Iffth inst., will be the anniversary of the birth of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the pure patriot, the peerless soldier, the matchless chieftain, the modest Christian, the superb embodiment of ideal manhood. Our State has made this day a legal holiday, and our people from the mountains to the sea can well af ford to suspend business and pass the day in contemplating the sublime character of this man whose memory will ever be dear to the true Southern heart. Commander D. A. Thomas, on in vitation from Limestone College, has issued a call for a meeting of Jake Carpenter Camp of oreteruns to be held in the college auditorium at 11 o'clock a. in., and it is hoped that every single member of the camp will find it practicable to attend. The young ladies of the college will t*k« a lively interest in the meeting and will welcome the veterans with tokens of appreciation of their past services and of admiration for their glorious record It is expected that the college girls will organize a chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, that the ladies of the town will organize another, and that the young men of the town will organize u camp of the Mona of Veterans. These organizations are now needed and the time is ripe fur their accom plishment. Limestone College is em phasizing Southern history and she desires the help and co-operation of the veterans and of their sons and daughters. Will not the young men and women of Gaffney and of the county honor their fathers and them selves by responding to this call? Will not also many young men and women from the county attend the meeting and lend a helping hand to the effei ng of these organizations and indirectly to the vindicating of the motives of their heroic fathers? Among the sons of veterans we call upon Sheriff Wilkes Thomas, J. N. Lipscomb, Henry Ross, Dr. C. T. Lipscomb, William and Thomas Brown, John and Oscar Lipscomb, D. C. Ross, W. C. Carpenter, and all others whose fathers followed Lee and Jackson, Johnson and Beauregard, Hampton and Butler to come out and at least avow by their presence that they are not ashamed of the record that has been left them as an inheri- ance. Among the young women, vc want to see at the meeting all the laughters and grand-daughters of Confederate soldiers, both from the iown and the county. They, after ill, are the true conservators of his- ;ory. It was for their mothers and ;rand-mothers that their fathers and jrand-fathers fought and died, and ve know that the young women of o-day have hearts to appreciate the sacrifices and the spirit to preserve ind perpetuate the memories of their incestors. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Ledger will heartily support Mr. Butler’s bill fora bridge across Broad river. The people deserve to have it and we trust they will get it. ♦ ♦ ♦ We hesitate to offer advice to any one, but if our law-makers will pass apy law that will give us better roads they will render the best service to the people that has been rendered by a legislative body in this State in years. Put us on record as favoring good roads—macadam roads—and the wide tire. The Boers die hard, but they are dying all the same. Their brilliant sorties in which they cut and slash the British troops and send conster nation to the British nation, are but the flickerings and sputterings of the wick as it sinks into the oilless socket. Power must prevail, and weakness, however worthy, must go down. Yet sometime in the unknown future wrongs must be made right and unjust suffering must be crowned with gladness. A bill is before the legislature to sell the State farms except the one in Lexington, and to hire out the convicts to the counties to be worked on the public roads. This is a legis lative step in the right direction. The state has no moral right to en gage in farming and thereby come into competition with honest labor If the bill can be passed, and then if another one can be introduced aud passed to sell ont'the dispensary and quit the business, we shall be on the highway to governmental decency and respectability. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Atlanta is not to be outdone in sensations, even by the big northern cities. Her latest is the kidnapping of a young man 10 years old, a student of the Georgia School of Technology, by a band of unknown men who car ried the boy off towards Chicago and held him for ransom. His father who lives at Union Springs, Ala., re ceived a note signed in his son’s own hand, proposing to open negotiations. The story sounds to us like a scheme of the young hopeful himself to pull his indulgent parent for a more bountiful supply of pocket change. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ From the manner in which some would-be advertisers make proposl tions to country newspapers to ad vertise their warea one would think the average country editor was better suited to occupy an apartment in the State asylum for the insane than to occupy the editorial chair. These fakirs certainly must find a lot of “suckers” or they would soon tire of buying postage stamps. The Ledger never)exchange9 advertising space for anything but the cash, we never ac cept an advertisment except that we know it to be genuine, and we never club with other newspapers. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The time for paying taxes was ex tended after all to the first of Feb ruary. There wasn’t the shadow of a reason from a legislative stand point for the extension except that craven spirit in the average legislator which Is ever ready to fall down and lick dust before a few voters. If the matter were tested in the courts we doubt very much if the extension set could stand. Tbe man who failed to pay his taxes by the Jjl-d of Decern ber ass subjected by law to a penalty of 15 per cent, and the changing o! the law afterwards to suit his case Is as clearly unconstitutional as would be the passage of a bill of attainder. Much legislation is demoralizing to the tax-payers, unjust to county and State officers and cannot result finally in a particle of benefit to anybody. Thu only thing that the legislature can now do to remedy the evil is to fix the 1st of February as the final limit and let it stand. PERSONAL PARAGRPHS. l'eop|« You Know ttml Teoj'I* You Don’t Know.

Illllyer’a “Wo ml era” Co., nt the 0|>ertt House Tonight. ‘One of tho neatest, most selenitic and mysterious performtmcfs In the line of mind reading, second sight and spiritualism was witnessed at the opera house last night by the above company. There were no tiresome waits, which usually take place at a performance of this nature. Every thing was accomplished in an instant. The exhibition was interesting from stait to finish and the people of Salis bury considered that they got the full value of their money. The Hillyers had a larger house than the ’ (^uo Vadis” company which is quite a compliment to the “Wonders.” The house should be filled again tonight. The presents distributed were all handsome and costly.” The above is taken from the Salis bury Daily Sun, and it shows what the reporter of that paper thought of the show.that is to be in Gaffney to night and tomorrow night. The fact that the “Wonders” had a larger crowd than “(^uo Vadis” does not signify that the former is better than the latter, but it does signify that the majority of the theatre-going people of Salisbury would rather see a show like the “Wonders” in pref erence to one like ‘ Quo Vadis.”As for The Ledger we wish to say that this is a good show of its class, but its class is not first. The Hill yers have been here once or twice be fore. They gave a clea:., mystifying, and entertaining exhibition, but there is very little instruction in it. How ever, we believe all who go will have a good time and get the worth of their money. But don’t go expecting to get the worth of your money in show and in presents both. Kev. D. W. K«y. Rev. D. W. Key, of Greenville, occupied the pulpit of the First Bap tist church Sunday aud preached two excellent sermons, morning and night. Mr. Key needs no introduc tion to the people of Gaffney, as he has been here before, and he is always accorded a warm welcome. At the evening service Mr. Key said, among other things: “What the human heart is to the body the Psalms are to the Bible. The Psalms is the heart of the Bible, and the Twenty-Third Psalm is the heart of the Psalms.” The speaker then pro ceeded to draw many good lessons from the Scripture, taking it up in sections. His peroration was en chanting. At LimeiitoiK’ Street Chureli. Rev. A. E. Diggers, a young stu dent of Wofford College, filled the pulpit of the Limestone Street Meth odist church Sunday and preached to a large and appreciative congrega tion. Mr. Diggers’ sermon was in the na ture of a trial one, and it is probable that he will be appointed to this circuit in the place of Rev. D J. Patrick, who died here last week. It is certain that the church wants him, but he has not fully determined as yet, whether he will come or not. He was the guest of Dr. and Mrs. C. M. Littlejohn, on Limestone street, while in the city. At tlio rrenbyterlmi Church. Rev 0. E. Robertson, the former pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city, occupied the pulpit of his former charge Sunday morning and evening, preaching two very instruc tive sermons. On account of the fact that there was no previous an nouncement that there would be services at this church Sunday morn ing the congregation was not so large as it otherwise might have been. Mr. JRobertson’s juumerous friends greeted him warmly and there was an air of former geniality about the ser vice. Rev. Dr. Sanders, of Greenville, filled his regular appointment at Limestone church Sunday morning and spent tbe night with Prof. Grif fith’s family. Getting Thin is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already. Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil. There are many causes of get ting too thin; they all come under these two heads: over work and under-digestion. Stop over-work, if you can* but, whether you can or not, take Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, to balance yourself with your work. You can’t live on it—true—but, by it, you can. There’s a limit, however* you’ll pay for it, Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the readiest cure for “can’t eat,” unless it comes of your doing no work-you can’t long be well and strong, without some sort of activity. The genuine has this picture on It, take no other. If you have not tried it, send for free sample, Its a- greeable taste will surprise you.

Stevenson entered the house four years ago, lie was at once regarded as an extraordinary man. His service in that body is a chain of successes. He was born in Iredell county, North Carolina, in 18G1, of Scotch ancestry. Educated himself, graduating from Davidson college with highest honors after having taken two medals in senior years. That fall. 1885, he took charge of the High school at Cheraw. and stud ied law under General W. L. Prince, whose daughter Mr Stevenson mar ried. Singularly enough a Mr. Prince was one of Mr. Stevenson’scompetitors yesterday. He formed a partnership with General Prince and is now associated with Mr. I). S. Matheson. In the class ad mi ted in 1887 to prac tice law were Mr. Stevenson, Senators Blakeney and Mayfield and Repreeeu- tavie Rucker, who nominated Mr, Prince. Mr. Stevenson identified himself with the Democracy of Ches terfield in 1888, and has been a valued member of the county executive com mittee. He has never been defeated in any candidacy. Was first an alderman of Cheraw and later mayor until elected to the house. He is a quick debater, with an incisive manner, and a pecu liarly attractive, although awkward, delivery. His rough and terrible fights in the house prepared him for the"great contest with the master mind of the Southern Presbyterian church, Dr. B. M. Palmer. Mr. Stevenson, though but a lay delegate to the general assembly, which met in Dr. Palmer’s church in New Or leans, wc rated the venerable divine in a discussion of church law and polity. Mr. Stevenson is now moder ator of South Carolina synod, the first layman to hold that position. Although a ““Conservative,” he voted without regard to faction, and tried while in the general assembly to obliterate factional lines aud to heal old sores. The Supper a Success. The supper served by the ladies of the Second Baptist church Saturday night was a grand success. It netttd tbe neat little sum of $25, or there abouts, which will be used on repairs for the church. Besides this, every one present had a royal good time, the value of which cannot be reckoned in dollars and cents. The most soothing, healing and antiseptic application ever devised is DeVVitt’s Witch Hazel Salve. It re lieves at once and cures piles, sores, eczema and skin dipeases. Beware of imitations. CheroKee Drug Co. Thirteen-year old Fannie Lynch, of Salem. Mass , has been arrested on the charge of robbing the mails. Such little pills as DeWitt’s Little Early Kisi rs are very easily taken, and they are wonderfully effective in cleaning the liver and bowels. Cher okee Drug Co.
