IMPORTANT MEASURES. Two of the most important meas ures before the legislature have been disposed of for the present, and we think disposed of wisely, by leaving them as they are. These two meas ures were the selling of the State farms and the proposed child labor law. We are and have been in favor of selling the State farms and working all able bodied convicts on the public roads. We believe that by this plan the State at large would receive more solid benefit from convict labor than by working them on farms, and more than this she would avoid competi tion with honest free !abo , \ The State has no more right to en gage in farming for profit than she has to engage in merchandising for the same purpose. Whenever she does so engage in any strictly busi ness enterprise, she is assuming rights that belong strictly to indi vidual citizens and is thus far dis couraging and over-riding individual thrift and enterprise It is true that her farming operations thus far have not perceptibly affected the markets nor worked palpable injury to individual farmers. But it is the beginning of encroachmeats that are to be watched and resisted. Evils in government as in morals, are more easily prevented than cured. Yet while we are heartily in favor of sell ing the farms and carrying the State out of the farming business, still we think the legislature did wisely not to rush into hasty action in regard to the matter. There will be nothing lost by waiting a year and perhaps by that time both legislature and people will be prepared to deal with the subject more intelligently and wisely. As regards the child labor law we have refrained up to this time from expressing more than a simple opinion. We have not believed that there was any necessity for such a law, but we did not care to enter the heated discussion that was going on over it. We are glad that the legis lature has voted it down by so de cided a majority. If there should appear hereafter to be any strong necessity for such a law there will be time enough to deal with it. Laws which claim the welfare of future generations as their prime object, need not be rushed upon the coun try in a night. If any legislation on this subject at this time is needed, it is different legislation from that recently pro posed. If the enacting clause of the bill had not been stricken out, Mr. Butler, of this county, would have of fered an amendment to the effect that all able-bodied parents lounging about the mills with no visible means of support except the proceeds of their childrens’ labor, should be proceeded against as vagrants and compelled to work. This amend ment would not have been made to apply to widows nor to Infirm cr dis abled fathers. It seems to us that such a law as that would strike at the root of the evil, if there be such an evil, and if vigorously enforced would accom plish all that might be desirable. There.Is little doubt in our mind but that emissaries from northern cotton mills have been active pro moters, if not originators, of this agi tation, as well as that of the curtail ment of the number of hours for labor, and it being a subject for maudlin sentiment and ad captandum elo quence it proves fascinating to small politicians. We yield to know man in wishing every proper opportunity afforded the children of this day of develop ing into noble, exalted types of man hood and of womanhood, but we don’t believe, as wo have said time and again, that the Htato isjpnrsuing the proper method to promote such development. We doubt further that the home discipline is as effective towards developing manly and wo manly virtues as that administered by the fathers and mothers of a past age. Three-fourths of the homes of the count;y are virtually in the bands of the children and they often prove themselves to bo capricious and unfeeling tyrants. There is a great deal of pathetic talk and sickly sentimentalism in regard to the children, indulged in by men whose motives are purely political and selfish. Let us take care of the children and do the b'si we can for tiiun. hot let us not forget that men and women have rights as well as chil dren. Let us lay broad foundations for the future, if we can, for that is noble; but let us remember at toe same time that the present demands a large part of our liberality and gener ous devotion. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Mrs. C. L. N. Legg, of Lawn, S. 0., sends to the Winnie Davis his torical collection of Limestone Col lege a twenty dollar Confederate note with the famous poem copied in her own hand on the back of it. The thoughtful contribution is highly ap preciated by the college. Mrs. Legg offers a reasonable hypothesis as to the authorship, which we shall in vestigate at the earliest opportunity. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Spartanburg Journal had a forcible editorial on the present pen sion law in South Carolina. It is really a shame that the old soldiers are put to so much trouble to get the the pittance granted them by the State. The legislature ought to look , after this law before it adjourns, and see to it that it be amended so that the veterans can get the little they are entitled to. It is hoped also that the amount will be increased. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Tort Royai is making a fight for the Naval station, which the coun try considered already as good as moved to Charleston. Ex- Secretary Herbert and other promi nent attorneys have been employed by Port Royal, and they are putting in some strong work before the naval cominittet. If Charleston should miss it after all, it would he « sreat disappoiniment to the old c iv a ! also to a l«rge part of the people of the state. Last Sunday was as steady a day’s rain, as w as tver known in this coun try. We don’t see how any day that ever dawned could beat it for steadi ness. It dripped as regularly and as continuously as the clock ticks, and the result was that the ground was thoroughly soaked. The weather ex perts predict much rough weather for this month. We used to take the weather as it came, but since the day of weather bureaus and Hick’s almanacs, we get it in ad vance. We are sorry to bear that the young ladies who have been trying to organize a Chapter of the Daught ers of the Confederacy have met with so little encouragement that they think of abandoning the pro ject and of uniting with the college chapter. This will not do for the young ladies of Gaffney whose fathers suffered and fought for the country before they were born. They cannot afford to be behind their sis ters of other towns in keeping alive the memory of brave men and noble women. There are at least thirty young women in Gaffney, and we know not how many more, who ought to join this organization, and we shall be much disappointed if from mere indifference or any other un worthy motive, they fail to do so. Clary-Wood. Sunday morning at 9:40 o’clock at the residence of Mr. W. T. Thomp son on Victoria avenue, the rights of matrimony were conferred upon Mr. G. L. Clary and Miss Maggie Wood by Rev. Thompson in the presence of a few friends. These young people are of high parentage, very popular and too well known to need further comment. With our best wishes we can but say, may their sails in purity wave on the breeze and their little bark gently mount every wave until they reach the harbor of rest. The dinner was served in the good old easy way, all sitting. The table was simply a picture of beauty and sumptuousness. Mrs. Richards has few equals in superintending a wed ding dinner. The evening was one of pleasantness and long to be re membered by all present. Clary.Klrhurda. Near Macedonia church at the res idence of Mr. E. P. Richards, at 4 o’clock p. m., quite a crowd of young peoplo and a number of older ones, assembled to witness the marriage of Thomas J. Clary, the eldest son of J. L. Clary, to Miss Edna, the accom plished daughter of Mr. E. P. Rich ards. The bridesmaids were Misses Alpha Humphries, Victoria Clary and Mary Byars, the latter being maid of honor. The groomsmen were Messrs. Walter Richards, Ensley Humphries and Coleman Turner, the latter being best man. Killed In HlHekaburg. Saturday afternoon Mr. “Mart” Williams, whose home was in Blacksburg, met with an accident which cost him his life. He was driving along the street in Blacks burg in a one-horse wagon when just as he was near Mr. Bird’s store his horse became frightened and ran away and threw him from the wagon. Ho fell upon his head and shoulder ana received injuries which resulted in his death an hour or two later without his having regained con sciousness. Mr. Williams was about sixty years old and leaves a wife and one child—a son in the west—to mourn for him, both of whom have the sytn- paty of the community.

Buffalo, Jan. 31.—Mr. Editor, please allow me space to get myself right before the public in regard to tiiat bridge recently built across Buffalo. It is human to err. The best of men do wrong, but one of the biggest rascals in the world is the man that will do someone else an in jury and not try to make some amends for it. There are a few ras cals that ought to look at their past records and ponder over them awhile before they try to become gentlemen. Sometime ago I published an arti cle in The Ledger stating that the people on this side of the river sus pected one of our officers of acting dishonestly in regard to building that bridge. Well, they did, and he has explained the matter and set himself straight before the people. But, no doubt, down deep in his soul he has ill-grounded feelings towards me for giving him the glorious op portunity. If my memory serves me correctly, Mr. J. C. Cline told me that he offer ed to build that bridge for $350. but possibly it might have been $300. But he ought to be glad his bid was rejected, because it is very plain that he would have lost $12 00 on the contract. The sunervisor and com missioner were acting too conscien tiously about the matter to either let a contractor make or lose a “brownie.” In an article sometime ago I stated that one man offered to build it for $375 and it was said by the of ficer, who was letting out the con- trect, that if some one did not take it for less than that amount that the county would hire men to build it. That threat made the impression on the minds of some of the bidder- that the officer was tr\ing work for the benefit of his son and tn><r tn.ir hid- wnuUi he r j''• <• •< •) i in \ stopp. (i oidiiinn and ‘m i tie coni rod f<>i $372. In the conclusion of his reply to tny article two weeks ago here is what that commissioner says: ‘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 had made calculations of the work.” Is it not verj plain that the commissioner himself had also been calculating on the work, too? In his estimation $375 was flagrant extrava gance and $372 was rigid economy. He saved the county three dollars. Now, Mr. Editor, I am compelled to believe that that commissioner was working for the interest of the people instead of that of his son. What can I do now but apologize for my rashness? The combined power of all the words in our modern lan guage is inadequate to express my own sorrow and mortification because I have thrust my pen, like a dagger, into bis pure and unselfish heart. I am willing to attribute to his mo tive patriotism, as pure as that which prompted George Washington to fight for the freedom of America. In my imagination I can see in him a beautiful type of that grand old patriarch, Abraham, iuasmuch as he was willing to offer his own darling son as a sacrifice upon the altar of his country. I am sorry that it raised such a storm of indignation as to cause the people on this side of the river to cir culate petitions asking the governor to make a change in the board of township commissioners. Fellow citizens of Cherokee town ship, is it not now plain to your minds that one of the noblest sons of this grand old commonwealth of South Carolina has most unjustly suffered persecution at your hands, and he silently bears it like a dumb lamb at the slaughter. God in heaven alone knows the bitter agony be is enduring over .t. What are you going to do about the matter, fellow citizens? Will you, or will you not, try to make some amends for the wrong your own consciences tell you that you have done one of your publ’c servants who was working with all his might to promote your own welfare? What higher tribute of respect could you pay him than to present him before the people of South Carolina two years hence as a candidate for chief executive of the State on a new and mnch needed platform to be called “economy?” If elected, under the wise administiation be would give us, many of our present evils would forever become things of the past. But lean no longer dwell upon of fices and officers, but must return to the subject of bridges. That word is particular burden some to my mind because 1 was en gaged to marry a young lady named Bridges ten or twelve years ago; but she jilted me and I have never since been able to find a young lady of that name, or any other, who was willing to share her lot In life with me. The honorable gentlemen, of whom I have been writing, in his young days also had a sweetheart named Bridges, whose ashes now lie mouldering in the clay in Buffalo cemetery. 8o it will be seen tbat be and I have both been unfortunate in regard to our early love for “Bridges ” Six years ago a new bridge, 120 feet in It-ngtb, was built across Buf falo creek for $280 and every stick of timber was new and the contractors cleared $75 on it. Homething over a year ago I was talking to the supervisor about open ing a new road from Buffalo to Blacksburg which would require a bridge across Buffalo creek where it is about sixty-five or seventy feet wide, and he told me tbat it would cost about $125. In this age of great reforms in South Carolina where taxes are about as high as they were in carpet bag times, it is to be deplored that a bridge HX) feet in length could not bo built for leai than $392 40 But the holy alliance between our super visor and commissioner (as a matter of course not to keep the money in the family) in their wisdom say it could not be done, and, but for a few sticks of old timber It would have cost the handsome, little sum of $400. By driving a sharp bargain they saved the o\e-bu’r !oi:ed taxi payers of ( herokee county the mag- | nificent sum of three dollars for which we all ought to be profoundly grateful. My proportional patt of that three dollars would probably amount to one fourth of a mill and 1 am thankful from the depths of my soul that it was saved In fact I feel that I owe them a debt of grati tude which I can never pay. \V. J. Tolbert. PERSONAL PARAGRPHS. 1 A Wife Says: t4 'We have four children. With the first three I suffered almost unbearable pains from 12 to 14 hours, and had to be placed under the influence of chloroform. I used three bottles of Mother's Friend before our last child came, which is a strong, fat and healthy boy, doing my housework up to within two hours of birth, arid suf fered but a few hard pains. This lini ment is the grand est remedy ever made.” Mother’s Friend will do for every woman what it did for the Minnesota mother who writes the above let ter. Not to use it during pregnancy is a mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering. Mother's Friend equips the patient with a strong body and clear intellect, which in turn arc imparted to the child. It relaxes the muscles and allows them to expand. It relieves morning sickness and nervousness. It puts all the organs concerned in perfect condition for the final hour, so that the actual labor is short and practically painless. Dan ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether avoided, and recovery is merely a matter of a few days. Druggists sell Mother’s Friend tor «l a bottle. Ihc Bradfleld Regulator Co., Atlanta, Ga.

Gouoiif.k, Feb. 4—Lust Saturday the 'allowing members of the Wo man’s Missionary Society met and put together a “miteionaiy quilt:” Mrs. Willie Goforth, Mrs. Charlie Smith, Mrs. Willie Brown,. Misses Addie Brown, Pauline Pettit and “Pack” Reynolds. The quilt will be sold to the high est bidder at Goucher church on the third Saturday in this month and the proceeds go to the missionary cause. The ladies are in hopes it may bring them in quite a sum of money, for it is truly a thing of beauty and required no little time in making. This quilt is not the first that the society ladies have made and they deserve much praise for their untiring efforts in helping the cause along. They are all earnest workers and if the one who is so fortunate as to get the missionary quilt could own also one of the mis sionary young ladies he would be more'fortunate. There have been several cases of grip in this community, butof a mild iyi • Though small pox lias been raging near us, we have escaped so far.

Beauty The most beautiful thing in the world is the baby, all dimples and joy. The most pitiful thing is that same baby, thin and in pain. And the mother does not know that a little fat makes all the differ ence. Dimples and joy have gone, and left hollows and fear; the fat, that was comfort and color and curve-all but pity and love-is "one. O The little one gets no fat from her food. There is some thing wrong; it is either her food or food-mill. She has had no fat for weeks; is living on what she had stored in that plump little body of hers; and that is gone. She is starving for fat; it is death, be quick! Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is the fat she can take; it will save her. The genuine has this picture on it, Like no other.
