NOTES AND COMMENTS. We are sorry to hear of the serious sickness of Hon. George B. lillman. He is far advanced in years and the probability is that his sickness is unto death. He is the ilower of the Tillman flock—a man of strong sense, strong principles, and with the cour age and honesty to stand by his con victions regardless of consequences. South Carolina is surely in need of men of such a type. ♦ ♦ ♦ The smallpox situation calls for thoughtful consideration. There is nothing like an epidemic of it any where in this country, but there are too many sporadic cases of it, for safety and comfort. The only im munity is to be found in vaccination, and the person already free of disease who obstinately refuses to submit to so safe and sure a preventive, de serves to have the disease in a malig nant form. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Spartanburg Herald is out with a first-class ghost story. The ghost is about ten feet tall and ap pears to be a combination of a man and a mermaid. He, or it, takes a stand on the electric railway track at a certain hour in the night and re fuses to heed the warning of the bell on the approaching car. The result is that the motorman slows up and he and the conductor draw their pis tols and present them at a distance of twelve inches, when the ghost vanishes into thin air. The car men all swear lo the facts, and the Herald appears to be uneasy. We suggest as the most plausible hypothesis that it is the ghost of Greenville come over to have a friendly understand ing with the Herald about all those hard things it has been saying about Greenville’s electric railway. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The whole world is impressed by the death of Queen Victoria of Eng land. Her reign was the longest, so far as we call to mind, in human his tory, being over sixty-three years. It certainly covered a period crowded with the most wonderful advances in all directions that the human race has ever made. Her successor Prince Albert Edward will mount the throne as Edward the VII and the af fairs of the kingdom and of the civil ized world will probably move along about as they are now going, and Victoria’s long reign will be a matter of history. The well being and pro gress of nations do not hang on the life of any man or woman, and the death of kings and queens of well ordered governments, creates little more disturbance in the current of events than that of an ordinary mor tal in the private walks of life. One of the provisions of a bill in connection with a child labor law now before the legislature, is to the effect that mill owners shall provide free schooling for the children of opera tives for ten months of the year. This, too, in the face of the fact that the mills of their own accord are af fording double the educational ad vantages that are furnished by the State in the country districts! If that isn’t the cheek of capricious and high-handed despotism, what is it? The legislature bad just as well enact by law that the mill owners shall furnish Sunday clothing of a certain make and quality for all of their operatives—that Carroll & Carpenter of Gaffney shall provide a free lunch for all their customers—that the Gaffney Live Stock Company shall give the people of our town a free ride every Sunday afternoon in fine carriages and buggies, and that the Mayor and Aldermen shall have a coach and six. The legislature will hardly attempt such high-handed measures as that at this time; but the fact that such a measure should be seriously proposed and seriously considered by that body, is a pointer to what is coming. Wait awhile and you shall see. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Greenville News copied the greater part of our editorial on the school tax and in its comments agreed with our main points, while it dissent ed from others. It seems, however, that while our able contemporary op poses an additional school tax, its op position is based on expediency rather than principle. Its Idea is that this tax must not be increased too rapidly because there are still a good many people who think that those who lire able ought to pay for the education of their own children. The tax is all right and just, but these people who still chsilsh such oil faehiomd. cranky notions must be overcome gradually, lest they might rise up in rebellion, and there would bo the mischief to play. In short, it is in favor of pushing the tuxes—piling them up—just as rapidly os the people will hour them, but would feel the way and be wary of pitfalls and ambushes. We have not quoted literally, but this is the position of the News us we under stand it, and we believe it speaks the sentiments of the socialistic element now dominant in Houth Carolina. Their plan is to increase the appro priations to the State colleges and t lie free schools, to multiply the of fices and the salaries and thereby in crease the number of dependents and pensioners, all just as rapidly as the people will bear it. They hope that with every increase of the burden there will be a com mensurate increase in the -ower of endurance, until finally there will be no remonstrance and socialism will reign supreme. And that is j” it what is coming. At the present ra of progress, before the end of two dt cades, the State will have taken charge of all the business that yields any profit, will have assumed com plete control of the family affairs, will have regulated courtship and marriage, and will have banished in dividual manhood from the face of the earth. Death in Grover. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Grover, N. C., Jan. 21.—On the 9th inst. the death angel visited the home of our friend and neighbor, Mr. E. R. Sapoch, and claimed as his victim a promising young boy of six teen years and eleven months. His remains were buried the following day at Mt. Paron, of which church he had been a consistent member for four years. The pall bearers were: Prof. Macombson, his teacher, and Messrs. W. E. Martin, John Gibbons, J. W. Turner, M. H. Bell and Jas. Gibbons. There was a large concourse of peo ple present to pay their lust respects to our departed friend. Some touch ing remarks were made by Prof. J. H. Quinn, his former teacher, and prayer offered by Mr. W\ B. Martin. Wherever we chanced to meet John we were greeted with the same smile which won the love and confidence of all wno knew him. He leaves a va cancy, not only in his home, but in the church and Sabbath school, which will be hard to fill with one of bis age. While we hate to give him up, we have one consolation, that our loss will be his eternal gain. He finished his mission here at an early age to go to u higher calling where there will be no more parting. t. J. a. A New Attache*. Mr. Chas. Harness, of Jonesville, is now engaged with the National Bank of Gaffney. Mr. Hames is a welcome addition to the clerical force of the bank and social circle of Gaffney. He is a son of Mr. T. L. Hames, of Jonesville, than whom there is no bet ter citizen in the State, and a broth er of Mr. B. L. Hames. the manager of the Limestone Springs Lime Works, than whom there is no worse, and between the two he ought to be a tolerably fair citizen. At any rate we welcome him to our midst and wish him happiness and prosperity. Kentlmeut* EndoneU. The Baptist Courier says: “We understand that the First church, Gaffney, has extended a call to Rev. A. E. Creo, at present attending the Southern Baptist Theological Semi nary. Bro. Cree is from North Caro lina and is very highly recommended. If he should accept he will come to a very important and delightful field, and we will give him a most fraternal greeting and wish for him great use fulness and happiness.” The Led ger heartily endorses the sentiments of the Courier In regard to Mr. Cree’s coming to Gaffney.

Mr. Editor, it seems that jour cor- respontlent, W P. To'bert, is greatly troubled about the building of the bridge across Buffalo, that was let out on the 20th of Oct. last, to the lowest bidder. I desire to make a few plain statements for the benefit of the public. A bridge of this kind falls under the jurisdiction of the supervisor, but as he was unable to attend to it, the work devolved upon me. In the outset I em ployed an expert to examine the bridge, to see whether to repair or rebuild. He thought with a few dol lars outlay it might be repaired and made to last some two or three years longer. Accordingly I got the nec essary lumber and employed men to make the repairs. In the attempt to do so, the bridge collapsed. I then went to see and report to the super visor. He decided the only alterna tive was to build a new bridge. And had a notice published in The Led ger that the building of the bridge would be let to the lowest responsi ble bidder on Oct. 20th at 11 o’clock a. m , that draughts and spacifica- tions would be shown at the bridge before letting it out. Accordingly at the time and place, I showed a draught of the new bridge and read the specifications before the bidding vas opened. I announced that as it was the business of the supervisor I would not close the contract until the same was reported to him. Then I proceeded to take bids, three par ties did the bidding. The first bid made I think was $450. Two other parties continued to under bid each other until $372 was reached and no lower bid could be obtained. I then again announced that I would take the train that evening and report to tl e supervisor, and await his decis- ioj. When I met the supervisor he stated that J. C. Cline bad tele phoned to him he would do the work for $360. He decided that according to the advertisement at the bridge was the place to give and receive bids, and that any one who did not feel interested enough to attend would not be likely to do the work soon He then asRed me if I considered the party responsible who had bid the $372. I told him I did. He then awarded them the contract without knowing who the party was. It was thought the floor beams were sound enough to do again and the bridge was let out with the dis tinct understanding if any would not do new ones were to be put in and paid for at what the lumber cost, over and above the bid. This was expressly stated and understood by all who were present, and especially by all who were bidding. When the bridge was torn up it was found that at least half of the old ones would not do and new ones had to be put in. The specifications called for flooring one and one-half inches thick. The supervisor recommended two inches thick. I told the contractors to or der the flooring two inches instead of one and a half and the extra half inch would be paid for. I also bad a hub plank put on that was not in the specification. The new floor beams, the extra half inch in the thickness of the floor and hub plank cost the contrac tors $20 40. When the bridge was to be received I would not take the re sponsibility upon myself but sent for Mr. R. P. Roberts, another commis sioner, and showed him the agree ment signed by the contractors and supervisor, the draught for the bridge, the specifications and the ex tra lumber that bad been put in. After the examination of bridge and all he recommended that payment of the amount, $872, and also $20 40 for ext r a lumber be made. All this your correspondent could have seen on file in the office if information was what he wanted, and not have troubled the newspaper with hearsay evidence. It is strange that there was margin for so much profit as seen by some and could not be seen beforehand by workmen who were there bidding and who bad made calculations of the work. I think I have made this plain to those who want information. R. E. Porter, Com. Another New Cltlcen. Mr. G. W. Spear, cf Lowudesville, Abbeville county, is another new citizen for Gaffney. He is a lawyer by profession, and has located here for the purpose of practicing his profession. He is a quiet, unassuming young gentleman, and The Ledger wishes him well.

The Christian Endeavor So ciety will celebrate the twentieth anniversary of its organization in the afternoon. The ladies will bring their dinner baskets and remain un til the close of the services. Speakers for the occasion have been invited and the Endeavors hope to have a profitable meeting. On Sunday the communion of the Lord’s Supper will be celebrated. A special invitation is cordially extended all to attend these meetings and take part in them.

In three minutes he churned a churn of sweet milk and got the usual quantity of butter. Col. W. D. Camp, our auditor, is In this section taking returns. He is assisted by Mr. Charlie Durham. There are several cases of sickness in this section at this time, but none of a serious nature. Mr. Lewis Lanier, of Star Farm, was iu this section on business this week. Rev. S. T. Creech will preach at Messopotamia next Sabbath. Rev. J. P. Marion preached at Salem last Sabbath to a large and at tentive congregation. His text was. Jeremiah 2 3:24, “Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? suith the Lord.” The congregations at Salem have been generally larger than u^uul since Mr. Marion began his minis r ry, and with each service there seems to be an increased interest Our school is generally well at tended, Forty-two scholars is more than one teacher can do full justice by. Our trustees ought to look for better accommodation for the chil dren by providing a better and larger house, and we hope they will not suf fer another season to pass without attending to it. To crowd forty or fifty scholars in a small house, 16x28, and around a small stove at that, is^nothing less than a breach ol mercy. Children that are not more comfortable can’t study. It will be a wise thing to provide a larger and more comforta ble house, even if one year’s appro priation shall be expended for that purpose. J. L s. ECZEMA.ITCHINCS HUMORS. Flmple* Cured by 1). 1).
