NOTES and comments. If the legislature carry out all of the recommendations of Superin tendent Mc.Viahtyn, it will construct one oVthe hugest and most danger ous political machines that has been operated in this state since 1876. With it and the dispensary machine coupled together, their political power will be irresistible. Mark these words. ♦ ♦ We hope that the veterans and the young men and women will turn out in large numbers at the meeting in commemoration of Lee’s birthday, tomorrow at 11 a. m , in the audito rium at Limestone College. We do not know that there is any set pro gram for the occasion, but the ob jects of the meeting are such as ought to appeal to every patriotic and generous heart. ♦ ♦ ♦ It would be amusing, if it were not a serious matter, to witness the glee ful exuberance o'f state officials, when they talk about the great in crease in taxable property shown by the latest returns. The average of ficial appears to think that the sole object of the existence of property is taxation. But for that, it wouldn't be worth a thought, much less de serving of the efforts, that men put forth to obtain it. And really, as about the only use the State can make of the property of its citizens is to tax it, perhaps the politician’s view, from his standpoint, is about right after all. The matter of representation in congress having been settled, our leg islature can now go to work intelli gently in re-districting the State. The present districts are about as unsatisfactory as they well could be. The reasons for their present shapes and boundaries no longer exist, and while it will be a difficult matter to have districts established in accord ance with the new census without di viding counties, still our legislature should exert itself to come as near to such divisions as possible. Coun ties ought not to be divided, even if population should fall a little below or rise a little above the required standard. tion, will have to be committed, be fore the negroes will learn that there Is one crime which cannot and will not bo tolerated? If their leaders, in stead of heaping all of their indig- i mint abuse on lynching, would di rect a portion of it against the crime which provokes lynching, there would be far greater tangible results. The negroes who commit this crime are perhaps in many cases ignorant both of its heinous nature and of the fearful consequences. They don’t read the papers, and they don’t hear anything from their leaders In con nection with the crime, but a pro test against the penalty. Let their leaders direct their engergies for awhile against this crime, and lynch- ings will stop, because tbe occasion for them will no longer exist. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Local Items Too Short for a Head Grouped ToKetber. The State Sunday School Conven tion will be held in Newberry Feb. 25th to 27tb, inclusive. Walter Baker has had the lot be tween big store and Flncken'g ba kery enclosed by a neat fence. Since tbe holidays there have been several new names placed upon tbe roll of pupils in Limestone College. A few of our farmers in the county sowed outs last week. Some say that from now on for three or four weeks will be the safest time to sow. Shuford & Lemaater are receiving daily shipments of furniture for their new emporium. They are rapidly filling up their large store-room and their stock is an elegant one. Cap. Tbackston la still working on Limestone street and having the sidewalks both beautified and strengthened by fortifying them with curbstones of solid masonary. Mr. Belk, who was at one time in the furniture business here, has come back to Gaffney and is now with R. A. Jones & Co. as salesman. Mr. Beltc’s friends are glad to have him with them again. Itev. A. M. Ross, of Kings Moun tain, is closing up his work as pastor at that place and will soon leave for tbe Southern Baptist Theological Sem inary in Louisville Ky. The best wishes of his friends here will go with him. Eggs are still scarce, as well as other country produce. Prices from the wagons are: Butter, 15, chickens, 15 to 25, according to size; eggs 15 and 20; corn, 65; fodder, $1.75; hay 60; sweet potatoes, 50 to 75. There ought to be good money in a dairy and truck farm at this place. County Supervisor Whelchel gives the public notice in another column of this paper that he will be in his office certain days in the week for the transaction of county business. Those who have business with tbe supervisor will save themselves trouble by reading bis notice. There are about a dozen prisoners in tbe county jail at present; three on the charge of murder, and the others for various petty offenses. They are all well treated and having as good a time as possible under tbe circumstances. The jail is a comfort able place, as is evidenced by the fact that water has never been known to freeze in any part of tbe building. Three of a Kind. On Sunday last Mr. Eugene Wiley and Miss Fannie Crocker, both of the The smallpox situation is threat ening. Tbe disease appears to be gaining ground in Spartanburg, though it is still confined to the colored population. These people are constitutionally opposed to vac cination, and are as migratory as wild pigeons. If they could by any possible means be brought to realize tbe importance of protecting them selves and others against this loath some disease, it could soon be stamped out. All thoughtful people will see to it that they and their familes are J vaccinated, and those who cannot be made to believe that there is any such a thing as small pox and who declare that vaccina tion is dangerous and foolish, will have to take their chances. If they escape tbe penalty of their reckless folly, it will be because so many others, wiser than they, have pro- • teeted themselves, that the diietse will not generally spread. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The United States Supreme court has decided that Neely, tbe carpet bagger, who embezzled funds in Cuba, and then fled back to the United States for protection, must be de livered to the Cuban authorities. This decision has an importance far beyond any consideration attaching to Neely. It declares indlreetly that • Cuba is a foreign power and not a conquered province, that the decla ration of congress at tbe beginning of tbe war with Spain must stand, and that Cuba Is and of right ought to be a free and Independent state. The decision, as we regard it, gives Imperialism one black eye looking towards the east. We hope that the Supreme court or some other power will soon blacken the other eye look ing towards the Philippines. With both eyes blinded, perhaps tbe mon ster would keep quiet, or at least be incapacitated for anything worse than growling and cursing. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Again the usual crime has been perpetrated in Barnwell county and the utiual lynching has followed. How many of these doul 1c crimes that sicken the heart of humanity and blacken the records of olvlliza- Gaffney cotton mill village, were joined in marriage by magistrate William Phillips, at bis residence in this city. Mr. Phillips seems to be in great demand by the young couples in this section who are seeking marital re lations. He was particularly In de mand about Xmas time, and married three couples at his residence during the holidays. The first of tbe three were Mr. Ben Gordon, who lives just above the city, and Miss Mor row, of Rutherford county, near Forest City, N. C. Next, Mr. Joe Poole and Miss Cleo Isler, both of Gaffney, were made one in bis pres ence, and the other has already been mentioned In Tbe Ledger. These are ail worthy young people and many friends wish them long life and much happiness. The Special License Tax. In this issue we publish the special license tax of the city council to raise supplies for the fiscal year 1901-2- The license is practically what It has been for the past two years. Being somewhat acquainted with the needs of the town we can assert that it is not possible for the city to get on with less finance than the bill provides, but we have tbe assurance of Mayor Littlejohn that in all human probability tbe special tax after next year will be cat down, and It is probable tbfVin a few years it will be abolished. It takes money to run a town, and.the bigger it gets the more money it takes. If we are ever to have a city we must not be niggardly In contributing to the city government.

Tli« Witter hikI Electric Light Itoixl* Bring Kancy Trices, In December the Board of Public Works of Gaffney advertised in the Bond Buyer, published in New York, that they would offer for sale ou January 15th $15,000 worth of water works and electric light bonds. At noon Tuesday the bids were opened In the office of Chairman of the Board N. H. Littlejohn’s office. There were ten bidders and the bids ranged from one-eighth of one cent above par to seven and one-* bird cent above par. The latter bid was made by Roby Robinson, of Atlanta, and the bonds went to him. This is the highest price that a bond bus ever been sold at by Gaffney, though Gaffney bonds have been iseugd bear ing six per cent, while these bonds only bear five per cent. This sale speaks well for the credit of the town and shows what we are thought of financially by people who have money to invest. Work of the General Assembly. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Columbia, S. C., Jan. 17.—The work of the General Assembly up to this date has been somewhat slack, but as the days come the work increases, and by the first of next week the ma chinery will be well oiled and work ing. Tbe usual number of bills will be considered this session, judging from the way the bills are now piling in, aud from the feeling around of mem bers who expect to legislate for their respective counties by introducing measures that will benefit the people they represent. The representation from Cherokee has been reduced by tbe severe illness of Mr. McCraw, who has had to go home. It is hoped that Mr. McCraw is better and will soon be able to take his seat here again. Mr. Butler, however, in the absence of his colleague, will dispatch the work to the benefit of bis county in tbe same manner as he does to his clients. He has now introduced two bills relating to the drawing of jurors and one to build a bridge over Broad river, both of which have been favor ably submitted to the House by the committees to which they have been referred. Young Frank Gauit, of Cherokee county, appointed at the request of Mr. Butler, is a quick and alert little fellow and is making a good page. G. H. Local Cotton Report.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in tbe civilized world. Your mothers’ and grandmothers’ never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Bil iousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom beard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration, Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to oleao out the system and stop fer- mentstlon of undigested food, regu late tbe action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is ail they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only need a few doees of Green’s August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. For ■ale by 8. B. Crawley & Co.

On account of A reported case of smallpox in town the city council have pansed an order nquirit/g all peftOna who have not been success fully vaccinated to bo vacci nated at once. This is the proper thing to do in order to keep tbe disease in check. It is far better to be bothered a day or so with a sore arm titan to be laid up several weeks with smallpox. Let all those who have not been vaccinated do so at once and we need itavo no fear of an epidemic or even a spread of the trouble. A New Firm. Messrs. Wade If. Tillotson and V'. M.
