All correspondence should be ad dressed to Ed. H. DeCamp, Manager SEVEN years oli> With this issue The Ledger begins the eighth year of its sublunary ex istence. We do not mean to imply that it has any superlunary or extra- mundane existence, either at the present or in prospect. It is of the earth, earthy, and aspires to no higher state than that of an earthly life. When such a life for it shall end The Ledger will pass into an endless and dreamless slumber, while others will endure the penalties of Its transgressions or enjoy the re wards of its virtues. WhenJ on the 10th of February, 1894, it first opened its eyes on this earthly scene the auspices were not at all flattering, the possitions and aspects of the planets were not de cidedly propitious, the new moon, "a silver boat, hung dim behind the tree tops,” and the ‘‘sign” in the al- man c was interpreted to mean that forti oe was to be wooed and won, not by humoring her caprices, nor by flat* sring her vanity and encouraging ber coquettish arts, but byastraight- for ard, honest, fewness, persistent ma iy suit. Ihe town was then less than half its present size, the new county was only a remote possibility, there was no community of interests that would suggest the boundaries to a field of journalism. Other men had tried to discover and locate such a field, but had failed to find it. Either the time had not come for journalistic enterprise or the right man had not come forward to manipulate and di rect it. Seven years have brought wonder ful changes in their train. Gaffney mor$ than doubled its popula tion ; great business enterprises have been formed and put into successful operation; capital has sprung into existence as if by magic and labor, its handmaiden, has risen up to do its bidding, and scattered settlements bus r and the quickening luences of social and business in- srcommunication have been organ- zed into one compact, homogeneous body with a community of interest and purpose to take its place as an integral part of a great State. The new county has stepped at once to a prominent place in the rank of coun ties, and in wealth, population, in- '{jgeDce, enterprise and all that goes to make a people prosperous and happy, may even now challenge com parison with many of the counties that had their lines located away back in the dim past when the sur veyor hewed his way through inter minable forests which never before bad resounded to the woodman’s ax and which were to be the home of the prowling wolf and the chattering squirrel for a half century before their dark recesses should be startled with the shrill whistle of the locomo tive proclaiming that the forests themselves must soon disappear be fore the on-coming tii^e of civilization. It is not too raudl to say that in all the changes tj^ube last seven years have mediate |dger has ;tor. It ! and the e func- im—the (ice that that it is ions of the sessary as the Fas the schools We claim that it (ndation.as they, >n cannot be un- turbing, in a meas- pertaining to the bounty. luppose that the life of The during these seven years of its ice has not been in the main lifferent from that of many un- journal that has begun at the tnlng and forged its way to the >nt. We snppose that many points liuiilarity could be found in its Tlfeito the life of any individual man wbd starts on the lowest round of the laider and climbs steadily towards th£ top. There is the lack of pres- which always insures want of h in those who are invited to co- e; there is suspicion, dis co, fastidious- tl.at invites the evil spirit of prophecy, the dependence that provokes re sentment. The Ledger has passed through all these experiences and grown stronger with each trial, just as the man does who is imbued w ith fixedness of pur pose and presses towards a high ideal with honest motives, strong faith and a determined will. But to the honor of humanity be it said on the other hand that there are yet in this world a few men who respect honest effort wherever they may find it; who are friends without counting the cost; and who don’t wait to proffer their help till the man has achieved success by his own un aided efforts. Such friends The Ledger has had through all these years and it owes a large part of its success to their encouragement and unwavering support. We are well aware that the course of The Ledger has not pleased every body. Some have accused it of par tiulity and sycophancy, and others of blindness and neglect. Some have complained when it complimented their enemies, and others have been indignant when it spoke disparagingly of their friends. Some have abused it for what went into the paper and others for what was ruled out. Its editorial policy has been heartily condemned by some and as heartily praised by others. And so it goes. Such things must needs be. But through all we believe it has retained the respect of its readers, however they may have differed from it in opinions, and now with its compli ments to all of its readers it joins hands with them for seven years nore. _ AN INKAMOt'S FALSEHOOD. We find the following in the Com mercial Tribune, a daily paper pub lished in Cincinnati, and edited by one E. O. Eshelby : "Cincinnati’s delegation of busi ness men just now’ jaunting through the land of cotton are coming face to face with some problems in sociology meet for the solution of labor’s phil osophy. For instance they find that in mills at Gaffney, 8. C , are employ ed some 700 aids to vast machinery. That is neither startling nor surpris ing. But this is: ‘Mostly children.’ Babies, says the report, of six, seven and eight years attend the spindles, big-eyed looking youngsters of both sexes. Some of them earn a pittance of twenty-five cents a day and their no-account parents fetch them their dinners at noon.” Now we don’t believe that the party of northern gentlemen who recently visited Gaffney sent back any such report to this dirty Cincinnati sheet. We don’t believe further that they would degrade themselve&JbgafcGjjjgPg any commuryA#tY5n with it, and V* naHy believe that anybody ho knows anything about the facts made such a report. It was made in the office of the Tribune and is wbat we have designated it, an infamous falsehood, conceived and told with a base motive. We are informed that within three blocks of the Tribune office is a cigar factory in which over 100 children are employed, the most of them under ten years of age, and this same man, Eshelby, works over 100 ragged females in a smoking to bacco factory and presses them for all he can get out of them. Eshelby belongs to a class whose religion is a compound of envy, selfish greed and telescopic philanthropy, so far as the last ingredient can be made to combine with the other two. In the old days their envy and greed were cloaked under a maudlin sentiment for the negro; now when they see that the southern cotton mills, owing to favorable conditions, are making money faster and more easily than those at the north, they suddenly become deeply solicitous about the conditions of southern labor. They would crush the life blood out of millions to gratify their malice or to satiate their greed, and yet raise their hands in holy horror at far worthier methods adopted by honorable com petitors. There must be a "lower deep” in the bottomless pit prepared expressly for these malignant, con scienceless. canting, lying hypocrites. NOTES AND COMMENTS. fruit trees may bloom and not be able to carry the fruit through Mar^h and April. It has been a fine time to sow oats, to break land and to be gin gardens, and we hope that much of such wdrk has been done Take advantage of the weather as it comes and don't worry about wbat kind, of weather will prevail in March and April. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The legislature just adjourned has been upon the whole the most sensi. ble. conservative and altogether worthy legislative body that has as sembled in South Carolinaduring the last ten years. It has made heavy appropriations, but it has made them under the pressure of conditions that could not be ignored. Previous legis latures had saddled upon it a load of obligations which could not be sud denly shaken off. But it discharged many of these obligations under strong protest, and that is a long step forward—a virtual declaration that partisan and wild-cat legislation is at an end, that prejudice and passion have had their day and that common sense, reason and patriotism must again rule. We heartily sympathize with every honest effort that is made to suppress the handy and ubiquitous pistol, but we have little hope that it will ever be suppressed by legislative enact raent. The bill passed by our re cent legislature prohibits the carrying of any fire weapon of less than twenty inches in length and of less than three pounds in weight. The bill also pro hibits the manufacture and sale of such weapons, and this part of the law can be, to a great extent, exe cuted. But it is our candid opinion that it would have been better not to have attempted any additional legis lation on the subject, though we honor the motive that prompted our representatives to take bold of it. A law that cannot be enforced weakens respect for all law and ought not to be on the statute books. This law will be generally and habitually vio lated as the laws bearing on the sub ject heretofore have been, and to vio lated it those who want pistols will smuggle them in from other States. Yet there will not be much necessity for that for a long time to come, as there are now pistols enough in the pockets of men and boys to supply the demands of three generations. The causes of this pernicious prac tice muat be removed before the practice will cease, and these, as we hare said before, are beyond the reach of legislation. To th« Son* of Veterans. (Correspondence of The Ledger ) jdowPENS, 8. C., Feb. 13.—I wish to say a word to the sons of the Con federate veterans. Boys, the name for your camp is well chosen. I sieved one year of the war in the company with him (Co. F. 18th Reg. 8. C. V ) We messed and slept to gether hU the time. A braver sol dier nor iftore honorable gentleman never shouldered a gun, nor drew a short Confeder'itfcHPfcttCffr'' ' ‘ — He was orderly sergeant while I was with them. It mattered not how long or how the march was he was always at the front to call the roll, whether there was anyone to answer or not. He was one that was never heard to murmnr at duty no matter how arduous or dangerous. The name of Smith Lipscomb will live in the hearts and memory of bis comrades as long as there is one of them left, and 1 am glad, boys, you have seen fit to perpetuate it, in honoring him you have honored yourselves. His example is worthy of emulation. A mess mate, John R. Webster. PERSONAL PARAGRPHS. The meanest man we know is a blatant philanthropist who demands our sympathy for the sufferings of others and is all the time planning to turn his philanthropy into dollars and cents for himself, or use it as a stepping stone to political honors. We have more respect for a sneak thief or a highway robber than for such a man. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Anderson Mail brands The Ledger as a ciironic fault finder, al most as bad as the Barlington News. If the Mail will join the Darlington News and the Gaffney Ledger In their efforts to remove or rectify some of the existing faults of the times, per haps it will soon be unnecessary to apply such an epithet to us. As long as faults themselves are chronic, we, for one, expect to be a chronic finder. and Monday almy ai Tribute to Mr. McKowd. [Yorkvllle Enquirer.] Speaking of the late J. Wesley Me Kown, as a comrade, Mr. W. M. Kennedy said on Monday: "On one occasion we had a fight, as a result of which we captured part of the ene my’s camp; but not all of bis lines before nightfall. It fell to my lot to do picket duty that night, while Wes was at liberty to assist in plundering the camp. He got hold of a lot of coffee, an article that few of us had seen for quite awhile, and after mak ing a pot foil, he rode the liUeet hunting me up, and got himself shot at several times before be found me along about midnight. On another occasion he was on guard during a very cold night, and he believed that if he should have to do his full turn he would freeze. I took half of his time and let him go to the fire. It was little things like that which drew us very close to each other.” Mr. Kennedy says that the statement to the effect that Mr. McKown was wealthy previous to the war was a mistake. He lived comfortably, but was not wealthy.

Mr. Editor, please publish the two above bills, without comment aa the people seem to be anxious to know. . Yours twJLs-, — " R. C. SarrATF. r Some MeditutlouN. Mr. Editor:—I am just In from the busy caies of the outside world and therefore have nothing to do but meditate on the bitter part of man and God’s mysterious dealings with us as creatures of a moment. As I lay in my bed last night during the wakeful hours, which ,are many to me, I thought what would this world be without the blessed Bible and its influences; it and the providences of God, which we see every day of our lives, are the only rays of hope that light up some of the dark places through which our pathway lies. One of the influences of the Bible is the Woman’s Missionary Society. I can look out of the window in my room and occasionally at the regular hour of their meeting I can see some times a dozen, more or less, neatly yeo plainly dressed ladies congregate ut the church to consult, talk and pray for grace and wisdom to guide them in! their mission in the world; and I verily believe He is guiding them. Some weeks ago after the meeting adjourned about half a dozen of them called on me and I am sure my sick chamber has been brighter, my faith atrengthesed and my heavenly vision clearer than before they came. Go on, dear sisters, in your good work and the Lord, the righteous Judge, will see you do not lose your reward. About the first of March our new pastor comes to take charge of us. Can’t we try, at least once a day un til he comes, to pray the Lord of the harvest to come into our hearts un til the preacher comes and come with the pastor when he comes, and if so, with the Holy Ghost In the heart of preacher and people, we will, indeed, have a revival of old time, genuine heartfelt religion that will last from the early dawn of January to low twelve the 31st of December. K. L. SUICIDE AT CLIFTON. Mr. TIiom. Hill EdiIn HU Life Willi » 3H- CuIIlire Revolver. Thomas Hill, a white man wtio lived at Clifton No. 2, committed sui cide last Tuesday afternoon at 0:30 o’clock at his home in Clifton. It seems that he had been in bad health for a number of years and recently became unbalanced mentally. He was very despondent on Tuesday af ternoon. and later on showed symp toms of mental aberration. When his wife and two chiidien came home from work in the mill, he wont to a bedroom and took a 38-calibre pistol from a trunk. Brandishing the wea pon in his hand he went up stairs and locked himself in a room, and then fired two shots into his body which killed him instantly. Coroner Foster held an inquest over the body and the verdict was that he died from wounds inflicted by his own hands. Mr. Hill left a wife and four chil dren to mourn for him, and these have the sympathy of a sympathizieg public. The above facts were learned from the Spartanburg Herald of Thursday. A “Had Nlfcger.” Constable Pursley, of York county went to Grover a few days ago to arrest a negro for some small offense. On arriving there he discovered a negro at work in a clay pit for whom he had been carrying a warrant for about two years. As soon as he saw this negro he decided to capture him and let the other one go. When he approached his man for the purpose of placing him under arrest, the ne gro raised the pick with which ho was working and struck Mr. Pursley a blow on the head which felled him to the ground and rendered him unconscious for a short while. In the meantime the negro ran off and made good his escape. He is repre sented as being a "bad nigger,” and is no doubt wanted at other places. iiatheriuK Material for Write-up.
