Till-; KOI.I. Ill THE DEAD. Our regular correspondent, J. I . H. suggests a plan for securing a list of all the Confederate sold'ers from Cherokee county who lost their lives in the war. It is important that this list be made and deposited in some safe place, and the plan he suggests, we think, is about the easiest and most practical that could well le adopted. It is that the camps of veterans in the county take the mat ter in hand and do it at once. Let Camp JelTeries take Oowdeysvllle and Drajtonville townships; Camp .lake Carpenter, Limestone. White Plains, and Morgan townships, and Camp Hart, all of the county east of Hrottd river. This is a solemn and holy duty that every member of these camps owes to the memory of his dead com rades, and we earnestly hope that it will not be longer neglected. The work can be practically completed in thirty minutes at any full meeting of these camps. In a very few years from this time, these who now re member these men will themselves need to be remembered and it will be difficult, if not impossible, to get up this roll of martyred heroes. Surely the living men of today will not be grudge the little time and work re quired to rescue the names of these men from oblivion. Send the rolls to the Winnie Davis School of His tory at Limestone College where they will be kept in a fire proof vault for future generations to read. About all that the Confederate soldier, either living or dead, novy. claims is tlj^ J -*'j/hr r 9SWfa , ~be made Itar apdokept untarnished for thote live after him. Surely this liv ing generation can afford to grunt him that slight boon. These records should be made out by counties and should be kept in the counties or in some general safe depository, such as Limestone College is providing. The State has been tinkering and piddling at this busi ness for more than twenty years, and it is questionable if much informa tion of real historical value has been collected and preserved. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Vague dispatches have been re ceived in London from South Africa which excite anxiety because of their vagueness. The home people in England fear that there is serious trouble in South Africa. It seems to us that we have heard of some little trouble in that country before this. At any rate, there is a stern, rugged soldier there called DeWet, who has about 10,000 strong, rough, daring horsemen under him, and we should nob like to sign a peace bond in their behalf. Such men when goaded to desperation are quite likely to create a little trouble here and there and now and then. # ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We arc exceedingly sorry that Mr. W. II. Wallace has vacated the edi torial chair of the Greenville News on account of declining health. We trust that a little rest and recreation will restpre him to perfect health and that South Carolina journalism will lose him only for a short time. Mr. Wallace’s scholarship, high charac ter, varied knowledge and wide ex perience have made him a power among the newspapers and the read ing public. His editorials were lodels of good sense and of a chaste, r pointed, and vigorous style. We wel come his successor, Mr. Moroso, into the editgrial fraternity. He comes highly recommended and it is not feared that the News will suffer any detriment in bis hands. Mrs. Nation’s crusade in Kansas is ending in blood. Forty armed farm ers fired with her spirit surrounded a saloon near Leavenworth, and noti fied the jointists to get out. When the party appeared at the door the saloon men opened fire with Winches ters and a lively battle followed. Over a hundred shots were fired, and one woman was killed and some half dozen men were seriously wounded. All this is the direct result of the rantiogs of a fanatical, half-crazy virago, who should be taken in charge by her husband, instructed in the arts of domestio economy, and ac quainted wlth^A v v terete of connu H iniiaa ii«- tA. \.h W jll neve- temperance ever be made to prosper by such internperate means. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The honor, or the ignomy, of leading all the counties of the State in the business of murder, was trans ferred several years ago from Edge- field to Greenville. Recently a Greenville jury convicted three ne groes of murder without any recom- meudation to mercy, and the said jury were complimented by the pub lic on the firm stand they had taken for justice, and their verdict was in terpreted to mean that wholesale murder in Greenville couniy must stop. Hut in two weeks after the deliverance of that jury, three white men, Henry Babb and his two sons, went a gunning for Lee Babb, a brother of Henry. They found Lee cutting a load of wood for his mother and murdered him in a most brutal and cowardly manner. The murder ers are all now in Greenville jiil, and the public is anxious to know if a Greenville jury will be inspired with the same lofty sense of justice when it looks upon these three white men in the dock, Judge Benet has the courage to uphold the dignity of the law, and if he could get the support of juries, the class of privileged offenders would soon bo broken up. He has un earthed some rather startling facts in connection with labor contracts over in Anderson county. Laborers have been employed by prominent farmers under written conditions more oppressive by far than those of chattel slavery, and it is rumored that men of wealth and high social standing have been enforcing such contracts. One laborer accused of violating some of the terms of his contract was arrested and confined in a stockade for convicts and soon af terwards was shot while attempting to escape, all without any forms of law, except in the matter of his ar rest. The judges’ address to the grand jury in regard to the facts re vealed, was straight and vigorous, and it looks like something is going to drop over in Anderson. A John B. O’Neal is greatly needed on the bench in South Carolina, but Judge Benet in this matter at least prom ises to be a good substitute TIiIiik* I’lwreli-lionn* Slioulil Know. [For tin- Clirlsliitn Observed 1. If you visit a church not your own, allow an officer to show you a seat, that is his dutv^anyL.Lu.l^ke-M*/5; one he assigns you is your duty. Never be so discourteous as to select for yourself; the same rules of good manners should govern in churches and private houses. 2* Never plant yourselves down in the seat next to the aisle, and thus compel others to climb over your feet, or find seats elsewhere, while you hold seats vacant, by keeping out others who have a right to them. If a Bible or hymn book is hand ed you, or put where yon can reach it, use it; and follow all parts of the service; show that you did not come to see or be seen, but to worship. 4 Never fold a book back, so that you can hold it in one hand. Any one knowing the construction of books will tell you that it injures the book as much to treat it thus as it would you, if you were treated in the same way; that is, it breaks its back, and if it does not belong to you, don’t injure other people’s property. 5. Do not fan the back of the neck of the person in front of you, or wriggle about, or look at your watch to see how restless you can appear; respect the feelings of those who came there to worship God. (>. Do not turn around in your seat to look back at the people behind or on either side of you, or whisper to anyone near you, or read book or pa pers not a part of the service. If you are not reverential, don’t disturb the devotions of those who come to wor ship. 7. If you are in the habit of chew ing tobacco, never use it just before or during service. You cannot know how effensive you can be to cleanly people. You ought to enjoy an in teresting service enough to deny yourself a chew of the noxious weed, and allow others to do the same. 8. If it is the custom of the church to kneel, sit, or stand, during certain parts of its services, by all means conform to their custom; don’t at tend any church where you cannot unite with them heartily (unless you are a cripple or an infirm person). If you are a visitor. It is very rude to publicly object to their methods; conform or stay away. If you are a member, it is your duty to uphold the services of your church, just as they are, if you cannot do this, join some church that has no form of worship, but where each member is free to be a freak. That is, if you can find one that is just to your liking. A Yoiiok («run<lmother. The Greenville News of the 20th Inst., tells of a family in Pickens that has a remarkable record and one seldom acquired by any family. The mother was married when eleven years old. 8he is now twenty- six and has fourteen living children, the oldest of whom is married and has one child. The mother of the family is therefore a grandmother and only twenty-six years old. TIihI ItruHal River ifrialge. That bridge across Broad river for which wise provision has been made by act of the legislature, will certainly be built, and the soone. the belter. There is no reason why it should not be completed by or before July 1st. In the location it should be placed so that it will be a convenient transit across the river to the greatest num ber of ihe tax-payers of Cherokee county, the people who will in the end pay for it. But, at the same time, some regard should be had to the cost of same, and by all means it should be crossable and approacha ble at all stages of flood water. The writer contends that Cherokee Ferry, lately established, is the most available point for the following reasons: Mr. Nathan Lipscomb, late super visor of Cherokee, a man to the man ner born who knows the entire coun try and its wants as to roads, bridges, etc., long ago selected this point to build a bridge; and Mr. Lipscomb may justly be classed as the father of the project to bridge Broad river. 1st. This is directly on the straight line from Gaffaeji* to Blacksburg and Antioch, the two centres of popula tion east of Broad river, and as near to Cherokee Falls, S. C., as the road by Cherokee ford, and a good road bed up and down the river for some distance on both eastern and western banks of river. 2nd. At Cherokee Ferry the river by actual measurement is less than 420 feet wide from bank to bank. 3rd. The hills are so close in here that with a small embankment on the east side of the river the bridge could be crossed at any time of the highest water. 4th. It is true that Cherokee creek has to be crossed, to come to the ferry on a road of good grades, but this will be bridged this week by pri vate enterprise. It has been sug gested that the bridge should be at old Cherokee Ford, the Cherokee Ford of 17715, below the mouth of Cherokee creek. The roads from and to this point are never to be good ones on account of hills, and there are 320 yards of deep overliow on the east bank at this point, besides the river is 0(55 feet wide at this point. Cher okee creek is no real obstacle and can be crossed at any stage of water with a very cheap wooden bridge. In fact, it is only a mile out of the way to go by the public bridge on the Gaffney Ferry road. 5th. At the present Cherokee Ford the river is 1300 feet wide and no oth er point can be found from Gaston’s Shoals (where the river is from 1000 to 1500 feet wide) to the mouth of Kings Creek where the river is as narrow as 401 feet, the actual width at Cherokee Ferry, and where the bridge could be crossed in times of big freshets. If the other fellow and minerals until they were verified by either a renown expert or actual exploitation. The phosphates of the State were discovered, or rather their great value made known, by Dr. N. A. Pratt, of Atlanta, Ga. Pratt was thus the cause of the rich income of royalty that for years Mowed into the State’s treasury. He built the first phosphate works in Charleston— the Etiwan;—he built the National works in Philadelphia; he has spent years in Germany ; has been a student all his life and a practical working man and is yet in his prime. Pratt was second in rank in nitre and min ing bureau, C S. A. If the services of such u man were secured for several years no doubt big results would follow, new indus tries start up and much money come to South Carolina to pay for property now considered value'ess. It is with the powers that be to take and make a political appoint ment or to select a man with a well established reputation. We will see. A Miner. PERSONAL PARAGRPHS.

Clear Hea™ wrfVWtJhat can rival J iq»k _hjm I ^4 Tf To the engineer who has the powerful forces of nature under his control, the pos session of a clear head is an absolute neces sity. He must have a head that is quick and ready, wide awake and ever on the lookout to meet emergencies. A clear head must be free from aches and pains, because they weaken the nervous force and divert the attention. It must not know dizziness, dullness, melancholy depres sion of spirits, nor nervousness “I am an engineer and for years was handicapped in my work by frequent at tacks of severe headache. In spite of everything I could do these spells grew worse until they became almost continual. Hearing of Dr. Miles’ Nervine through a friend who had used it, I began taking it for my head, and it gave me relief from the start. In a short time my head was as clear as a bell, and has not troubled mo since.” E. W. Wilson, Alcott, Colo. .

(5 One pier on each bank, two in the river and three spans will do at Cherokee Ferry, three feet cylindars on the bunks and four feet in the river filled with good cement and crushed stone will carry this bridge. But it would be better to use four feet on banks and five feet in river. The cords of the bridge should be 14 to 18 feet above mean low water— shields to ward rafts up stream in river. But ail raft from the general trend of the current would, and now does, pass down under where the east ern span would be. There are reasons why the contractor should be required to construct coffer dams of heavy hewn logs and have them in the river. These ,in a measure, would be finders against raft. The dolomitic limestone, one- fourth mile from Cherokee Ferry, would do for stone to fill in with, or siliceous furnace slag from Cherokee Ford would answer as well. At this point the bridge—the ap proaches above high water—the same crossing at Cherokee creek, should not cost over 80 per cent, of the ap propriation. Let us have the bridge here or somewhere else. Respectfully, A Citizen. The State OcologUt. A geological and mineroiogical sur vey is much needed iu South Caro lina. Nothing has been done in this line since the days of Tuomey and Lieber, in the fifties. Leiber’s able work was left incomplete by the Con federate war, and yet be did much that was of value, and has proven so since his reports were published. His reports are today the standard amongst scientific men, so far as they go- This State has phosphates much more extensively scattered than is even now known by the exploitations and workings of the past; gold, sil ver, lead, tin, plumbago, marble, limestone, dolomite, on the old for mation and shell on the tertiary, granite, feldspar, of good quality, kaolin and other valuable clogs, sol baryta,manganese,monazite, perhaps diamonds on the itacolumitic forma tion and iron ore, of which five or six distinct beads cross the State from north-east to south-west and of which little or nothing is known, saVe in Cherokee and Spartanburg counties from actual exploitatiou,min ing and reducing. Nor is it at ali im probable that coal may be fouAd at great depth in Cherokee county; also oil cavities may exist in Cherokee, Spartanburg, Lancaster and Abbe ville. Platinum has been discovered— this is yet a secret. The people of South Carolina, the owners of the soil, are nearly all ag riculturists and know little of min erals and metals. When such is dis covered they are in for selling,and to day foreign or northern capital is rife to purchase mines and minerals. But such purchasers rely ou the re ports of scientific men and men of well established character, and better men who are nq( only known in the sclentiUc world but known the world over.

No children should grow up in ignorance who can be taught to appreciate the home press, says the Kensington (1’a ) Dis patch. It is said to be the stepping stone of intelligence in all those mat ters not to be learned in bocks. Give your children a foreign paper, which contains not one word about any per son, place or thing which they ever saw, or perhaps they evei heard of, and how could you expect them to be interested? But let them have the home paper, and read of people whom they meet and of places with which they are familiar, and soon an interest is awakened which increases with every weekly arrival of the local paper. Thus a habit of reading is formed, and those children will read the papers all their lives, become In telligent men and women, a credit to their ancestors, strong in the knowl edge of the world as it is today.

InterehttiiK Account of the Trip from GafTuey to Hot SprlngH (Correspondence of The Ledger > Hot Springs, Ark., Feb. 17.— Dear Ledger :—As we are very well situated wo thought we would give you a sketch of our journey. We left Gaffney Sunday morning. Feb. 10th, at twenty minutes after eleven, and got to Atlanta at five p. m. When we got off the train an other train was standing waiting and in five minutes from the time we got off of one we were moving on the other. The most interesting thing we saw when we started out from Atlanta was a race between two trains. Another train started with ours and they ran a race for three or four miles; but we out-run them and left the other behind. I have heard of horse races before, but not of train races. We went through some beautiful country after we left Atlanta, but we did not go far before it began to grow dark; then we took our lunch and settled for the night. But we could not rest much, for there were too many stops. I think they stopped every four or five miles. I was sorry for tiie conductor and porter, for they had to walk and holler so much. Some of our party got berths, and some could not. We got to Chatta nooga at 12 o’clock that night and had to charge cars again. It was raining and we had no umbrellas. Our train was standing waiting again, so we got in and settled for and ai rived in Memphis at seven o’clock Monday morning. We did not have to wait there long, only about an hour. We were transferred from one depot to the other and then started for Hot Springs sure enough. 1 think the prettiest sight in all our journey was the Mississippi river. We could ste everything from little fishing boats to great big steamers We went on that train through swamps and cypresses until we could see nothing else. Then about three o’clock that evening we made our last change of cars at what was call ed Malvern, not very far from here. At about five o’clock we landed here and here we are yet. We certainly looked like Arkansas travelers that night. We rented a cottage and are living at home. All of us began bathing and I think we all feel better. The President and Secretary of the ‘•Muscovey Club” send their regards to the absent ones and wishes they were here. Wood is $4 50 a cord here and we live in the woods. Mrs. M. L. Ross.

State of South cahoi.ina. | county of Spartanburg, i Mrs. Carrie A. Potty, individual! and Little Ruth Robertfton Succumbed Pneumonia Last Thursday. The many friends at this place of Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Robertson were pained to learn of the death of their youngest daughter, little Ruth, which occurred at their home iu Baltimore last Thursday afternoon at 8 o’clock. Shortly after Mr. and Mrs. Robert son moved to Baltimore their two children, Margarite and Ruth, both had measles and were very sick for sometime. Margarite’s disease was then followed by diptheria and her life was despaired of for several days, but the attending physician finally succeeded in staying the course of the disease and she is now growing better. Little Ruth, however, was not so fortunate. Pneumonia follow ed in her case and she succumbed to that disease last Thursday evening. A close friend of the family iu Baltimore wishes to assure the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Robertson at this place that they and their chil dren have had, and are having, every attention, and that everything possi ble is being done for their comfort and their general welfare. Our entire community deeply sym pathize with Mr. and Mrs. Robertson in their dark hour of trial and afflic tion, and pray that a higher Power .nay soften the pangs of their grief. Tito ledger heartily joins in condo lence to the bereaved parents and truly hopes that Margarite may soon be well again.
