AN ELEVATED MANHOOD. Governor McSweeney in his inau gural address sajs, “One of the cry ing needs of this time is an elevated manhoed.” We endorse and re iterate this sentiment with all our heart. It is the crying need of all times, and alas! tlie times often cry in vain. We are told of an ancient philosopher who lighted a lamp in day time and made a search for a man, but so far as we are informed, neither lamplight nor sunlight re vealed him. We are told of another who, when asked if he had met many men at the public baths, replied, “Many people, but few men.” And all down the ages, in every phase of human experience, and in every political social, and intellectual con dition of the race, the great need has been an elevated manhood. More than anything else within the compass of human attainment, does our state today need men— “High-minded men. Men us far above dull brutes imbued. In forest, brake, or den. As brutes excel cold roirks and brambles rude; Men who their duties know. Hut know tbeir rights And knowing dare maintain.” We do not believe nor aseert that there is no elevated manhood in our state today. Among the masses in obscure life many a true man can be yet—found many a man who scorns a baseness and who strives to regulate his life and conduct by the require ments of the highest standards Of duty and of honor. And we further believe that such a man is more fre quently to bo found in the humble walks of life than among the promi nent political and social leaders of the day. We believe further that among the men at the front to day the sturdy virtues of a past generation are at a discount and that the tendencies of the times are downwards in patriot ism, in moral courage, in ideals of honor—in most that tends to elevate, dignify, and ennoble human charac ter. When wealth rapidly accumu lates, patriotism languishes, and greed, selfishness, demagogism rob bery and socialism strike root in a congenial soil. “Ill fares the lanrl to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay.” What is the state doing to build up a strong, healthy, elevated manhood? It does look like that instead of fos tering and developing an elevated manhood, the state is doing much along several lines to degrade, ener vate, and demoralize the manhood of her citizens. How will the dispensary do as a nursery of elevated manhood? How does the squandering of the people’s money on young men and women who are abundantly able to help them selves, tend to foster a spirit of self- reliance, the foundation of all strong, healthy, and efficient character.- One way of encouraging manhood is to honor in the sight of the pres ent generation the great models of the past. We have in our midst a few lingering representatives of a type of manhood that won the respect and admiration of the world. 'I he State spends a hundred thousand dollars on these maimed and aged veterans and a million on the luxury of so-called free education. And she shows that she grudges this pittance to the needy veterans by guarding its distribution wilh so many re strictions and qualifications that many of the veterans will do without it rather than attempt to comply with all the requirements and condi tions. No other appropriation made by the legislature is bound up in •such a bundle of red tape and has to go through so many “circumlocu tion offices.” An elevated manhood indeed is a crying need of this time, but so long as our State shall fail to ncognize and honor manhood when'it sees it and «hall continue to debauch its citizens with whiskey and pamper and ener vate them with luxuries, the need will cry in vain. NOTES AND COMMENTS. It speaks volumes for the public spirit of Hpartanburg and for its love for Wofford College, that the calamity to the Fitting School is to be so quickly repaired. Perhaps in the light of future revelations the burn ing of the building is not a calamity after ull. A better building will taka its place and this teat of the liberality of the citizens will strength en their devotion to the college and open the way for greater thing'* In Ibt fulutv. Kpurtanbuig knows the sec'f-t of her prestige and power and stands squarely by her colleges. w ♦ ♦ » The army bill has passed the Uni ted Stales Senate and will becomt a law. The army will be increased to 100 'MM men and probably us many more as tho president may want Thus wo aro to have mititaryism, which means imperialism, which means the destruction of free govern ment. No government, situated as this oog is, needs a standing army of that number in time of peace. Sen ator McLaurin voted with the repub licans as he has usually done hereto fore It remains to be seen what en- uorsement his course will receive in South Carolina. ♦ -to- ♦ The Columbia State aptly remarks that we of South Carolina have many sins laid at our doors, but we have not yet to account for the burning of a live negro. That refinement of barbarism has been attained by tLe people of Kansas, the home of John llrown, the philanthropist, the pa triot, the blessed martyr, whose spirit was declared in song and tradi tion to be “marching on” towards the realms of universal freedom and happiness. We shall try to he con tent for awhile longer with the cruder and more primitive forms of barbarism, and shall not envy our Kansas brethren lor the advance they have made in the refinements of be nevolence and the accomplishments of practical morality. ♦ ♦ to ♦ A week or two ago we announced that we should not accept the offer to club with Col. Bryan’s Commoner, which offer had been made to all country papers and eagerly accepted by many. We stated that we saw no good in it for The Ledger and that the purpose of The Ledger was to stand or fall on its own merits. We had no idea that in stating these plain facts we were making fun for anybody or saying by the remotest implication anything derogatory to Col. Bryan. But our smart contem porary, The Florence Reform Advo cate, made a dive into the still wa ters and brought up more fun than it was able to swim with. Indeed, in floundering around with its burden, it got the treasure so saturated with muddy water and its own eyes so blinded by spray, that somehow it failed to exhibit the fun to its admir ing constituents. It endeavors toex- hibit Bryan in the ridiculous act of at tempting to seize upon our coat tail, whereas the true state of the case was we refused to swing to his. It then swoops around in a circle, ex horts the party to pension Bryan and with its last breath, just before diving out of sight, commands that The Ledger must look after Bryan. We have known men to tell stories intended to be funny and they laugh ed so loudly themselves and made each ridiculous exhibitions of buf foonery that their hearers laughed at them instead of at their story, where upon these ambitious raconteurs flattered themselves that they had made a happy hit and usually at tempted to follow up their imagi nary success with another story worse than the first. Give us an other, contemporary. Saw Hii* 17 Year-Old Sou Hanged. (News and Courier.) Ja Ties Kelly, the seVenteen-year- old boy who murdered Willis Bon- □eau, the Mount Pleasant miser, was hanged at the county jail yesterday morning. The trap was sprung at 10:50 o’clock and Kelly’s neck was broken like a stick of brittle candy. The murderer went to his death without a word of protest. Just be fore the black cap was placed over his eyes the hoy looked beyond the shadow of the building and saw bis old father shivering in a ragged overcoat, and with tears of sorrow trickling down his cheeks. Not a word was uttered. There was an ‘n- voluntary sign of recognition, and tho old man wiped away the tears while the cap covered the face of hia child for the last time in life. When the rope had been placed around the negro's neck there was a sudden twitch in his throat, which pained him, and he asked the officers not to choke him. The death strap was made comfortible and the heavy weight was dropped, sending the boy high in the air and then dropping him until he was suspended like a speckled bass dangling from a fisher man’s line. His neck was broken, but he quivered and squirmed and bis body shook with convulsions. Mr. Clark Advocate* the Wide Tire. [Charlotte Observer. | To the Editor of The Observer: Having bad experience in the use of the wide tire wagon I would like to say I found it a great improve ment over the narrow tire. I also notice that the macadam is being cut in ruts by the narrow tire which diffi culty would be overcome by the use of wide tires and thus a better road bed be obtained with much leas ex pense for repairs.

LEE’S BIRTHDAY. Ccloliratsil lit Llineitniio liy \ HcranM uiiil Son* mill Daugliti'ni of Veteran*. The members of camp Jefferies, Cherokee Regiment. U C. V., celc- brnUd General Leo's birllnluy, Sat urday, by holding u meeting in the auditorium at Limestone College. A good number of the sons and daugh ters of veterans from Gaffney were present, as, also, wore the young la dies and teachers of the college. Commander 1). A. Thomas conducted the meeting, and Colonel H. P. Grif fith, of tbe Cherokee Regiment, ad dressed the assemblage, and he brought tears to the eyes of young and old. After the meeting, tbe sons of veterans who were present assembled in a lower room lor the purpose of organizing a camp of sons of veterans. There were nineteen present and a very enthueiastic meet ing was held, looking to tbe organi zation of a camp. Col. J G. War- dlaw was asaed by Commander Thomas to take the matter in hand, and he appointed Mr. W. C. Carpen ter chairman of the meeting, and Mr. D. Claude Ross, secretary. Various suggestions were made and it was finally agreed upon lo meet again sometime soon, when a larger number of eons would probably be present, for the purpose of fully or ganizing tbe camp, electing officers and selecting a name for the camp A committee of three, consisting of Messrs. James A. Willis, D. C. Ross and W. O, Lipscomb, was ap pointed to obtain full information, necessary blanks, etc., and to call a meeting, through The Ledger, as soon as such information had been ob tained. Another committee, con sisting of Messrs. C. T. Lipscomb, VV. VV. Thomas and A. W. Griffith, was appointed to gather the names of veterans’ sons in this community and to solicit members for the camp. At the same time the daughters held a meeting in another room for the purpose of organizing a chapter of Daughters of the Confederacy. Their proceedings were on the same order as those of the sons, with the exception that each one of the four who were there from the city, ap pointed herself a committee of one to work up the chapter. They, also, agreed to meet again soon to perfect the organization. Every son of a veteran in this vicinity should join this camp and every daughter the chapter. Tho old veterans are fast passing away and in a short time there will be none left to tell tbe tale of the unequal struggle. The sons and daughters, then, should perpetuate the memory of the glorious Confederacy. SHORT - LOCAL ITEMS. Local Item* Too Short for a Head Grouped Together.

Lumpkin, former general freight and passenger agent of tho South Carolina A Georgia Extension railroad, his son, Mr. Don Lumpkin, has been ap pointed to succeed bis father in that position. Tbe word “acting” is at tach* d to the title of his position at present, but that is a mere mutter of form, and he is in reality the general freight and passenger agent of the system. Mr. Lumpkin is a young man of exceptional business ability, and his oerfect familiarity with the railroad business makes him a worthy suc cessor of his honored father. He is polite, accommodating, genial and affable, greatly admired bv the entire force of his road and highly esteemed by his brother oific>rs. During tbe past year while his father whs unable to attend to his duties, Mr. Lumpkin has ^satisfactorily filled the office to which he has recently been appointed. He is only twenty-six»years of age, hut had charge of the entire passen ger department of the South Carolina «k Georgia Railroad, with headquar ters at Charleston, up to the time this line was purchased by the South ern Railway. He would have been tendered a position with the Sothem, but preferred one in his father’s of fice at Blacksburg. His promotion meets with tbe approval of everyone interested, and bis many friends in particular rejoice over his good for tune. The Ledger extends congratu lations to Mr. Lumpkin, and wishes him many years of usefulness to bis road and of happiness and prosperity to himself. Another Veteran Gone. Capt. George H. Mills died at his home in Rutherfordton, N. C., on the 10th inst. He was born near this place in 1828, his mother being a daughter of Captain Michael Gaff ney. She was afterwards Mrs. Lucin da Austell and lived to be about eighty-five years old, dying a few years ago. Capt. Mills was raised in Ruther fordton. He entered the Confeder ate service in tbe IGtn N. 0., Volun teers, which belonged to Hill’s Light Division, and was a gallant soldier and competent officer. As a citizen, friend, neighbor and Christian he was a true man, honest, faithful, kind, always the gentleman, ever ready !o respond. The above facts were gathered from the Cleveland Stur. Shelby.

A fiood Show Ing Jones J Darby, tin* gentlemanl', representative of (he Southern Stock Mutual and tbe Underwriters of Greensboro insurance companies, both of which lire local* d at Grot n.-- boro, is very proud of tbe recon: these two southern insurance com panics have made the past year. These companies have just Completed the most successful year since their organiz.it ion. One of the com panic- is just entering upon its seven!! year, the other upon its fourth year. During the year J900, the two com panies increased their meets from iioU 278 87 to $271.950 50, and their reserve for reinsurance (omergi :,cy fund) from $:U 115 41 to $l;5 201 0(». and their surplus from $17,810 81 to $28,730 81. The year 1000 shows an increase in premium receipts fr m $58,513 02 to $00 380 38. being an increase of il per cent. The record which these companies have made since their organization is a very re markable one. Tbe most important business trans acted at the annual meeting was the declaring of a 15 per cent, dividend to policy holders by both the Southern Stock Mutual Insurance Company and tbe Underwriters of Greensboro. Why cant Gaffney have a local insurance company. It would keep money at home and make money for its stockholders? Cherokee’* Amoiif; the Handsome Ones. [Columbia State.] There are some very handsome, manly young faces in the house. Among them may be cited Col. T. B. Butler, of Gaffney, Capt. M. L. Siqith, of Camden, and Mr. Whaley, of Charleston.

[Uocu Hill Herald.] The amount of whiskey shipped into Rock Hill by express from De cember 22 to tbe end of the month amounted to 821^ gallons—52 two gallon package*, 39 one gallon pack ages and 59 half gallon packages. The charges on this amount of whis key amounted to about $104 65 and the cost at an averjge price of $2 50 per gallon was $803 This amount was independent of the liquor in case shipped by freight, the quantity perhaps being as great as that received by express, and it is alto independent of the large amounts smuggled into town by wagon for the blind tigers. One thousand five hundred dollars is not an exaggerated estimate of the cost of the whiskies brought into the city by train and otherwise during the eight days ending December 31st. Indeed, it has been estimated, and we feel confident that the figures are not too large, that the average amount of whiskey brought into this city is fully 150 gallons per week, or about 7,500 gallons a year. This whiskey is consigned to individuals, but much of it is fur blind tigers. The shipments are entirely from North Carolina and the dealers in that State receive the revenue, which must amount annually to fully $18,- 000 furnishing a profit certainly of $0 000 annually. This is the way a great deal of our money goes and, while we have all the nuisance, we do not receive a dollar of revenue.
