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.

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.

THAT BUFFALO BRIDGE.
Mr. Torter Makes a Full Statement KeKnrd-
hiK The Contract.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
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.

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

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

Like every other complex machine, the human body ins its
periods for repair. Sleep is Nature’s time for rest, when the
repair shops of the brain make good the damage of the waking
hours. The man who cannot sleep, or who suffers from headache,
nervousness, lost appetite, indigestion, heart trouble or pain, is
running with a hot box. Give the tired brain and worn-out
nerves a chance to rest. Stop! It ia time to oil up.
