Liberty, which has been the watch word of patriotism and the rallying cry of heroes for a thousand years, has failed to satisfy the cravings of hungry hearts and the aspirations of benevolent souls. After blackening the pages of history with crime and drenching the world In blood, liberty has lost her power of conjuring the spirit of man and there is no beauty in her that we should desire her. Liberty would let a man starve and never lift a finger to relieve him. She would see whole generations wear themselves out in the struggle for existence and never utter a word of remonstrance; she would see with a placid countenance the strong tram ple down the weak without a word or a sign of condemnation. Liberty, as we have already inti mated, is a cruel, heartless, blood stained goddess, full of duplicity and byprocrisy. She is as often found on the side of the oppressor as the oppressed; she lends her name us a warrant for the most outrageous crimes. In 1770 she ranged herself with the colonics against Great Britain, but in 1S(>0 she took the side o! the oppressor and Lincoln and Seward appealed to the sword in the name of Liberty and a million of men sprang to arms and laid waste the most beautiful land under the sun in obedience to her high behests. In France she stirred up the mul titudes to the perpetration of fiendish atrocities the enormity of which caused the whole world to shudder. Itecently she has sided with the heavy guns and the strong batullions, and the Boers and the inhabitants of the far oil isles of the sea vanish be fore her conquering armies. Well did Madame Roland exclaim, “Oh! Liberty, how many crimes are per petrated in thy name!” The country has had enough of liberty. It wants active privileges, helps to happiness and prosperity, free enlightenment, royal material favors. What’s the use for a man to have the liberty to be u slave, to wear himself out in trying to make a living for himself and family, to struggle with poverty and disease, to compel his children to work for bread and to grow, up, if they grow at all, iu ignorance? We are beginning to have some sense and to learn what governments are for. The dawn of a new era has broken over our State, but though it is yet only the dawn, it heralds the coming of a glorious day. W’e began by enacting laws for the benefit of the lower animals and from them our sympathies have risen by an easy step to the next higher. We have determined that ihe children shall all be enlightened, wise, prudent, and patriotic, and we are about to de termine that they shall not work ex cept just enough to make them healthy and strong. This is piogress, but the horizon widens as we advance and new fields for the paternal activities of govern ment open up on ail sides. By the time we shall have provided ade quately for dumb animals and chil dren we shall learn that men and women are deserving of our benevo lent consideration. On the farms there are men who rise before day to the great annoy ance and discomfort of their wives and children, and push their work all day and perhaps into the next night, making drafts on their physi cal powers which sooner or later will stiffen the joints, weaken the mus cles, and thereby endanger health a^d perhaps shorten life. There are merchants, clerks, book keepers, and bankers who stand on their feet all day and bend over their desks at night until a late hour, eat ing irregularly and at unseasonable hours, and failing to take the amount of sleep and rest necessary to health and physical well being. . Then in many homes all over the country there are women, wives and mothers, whose lives are devoted to drudgery. They are kept awake at night by crying children, hut must rise betimes and cook breakfast for the family, and they must churn and wash dishes and cook again, and milk the cows, and nurse the baby, and wear their lives away, while the husbands and fathers perhaps are loafing about town and loading up on dispensary whisky preparatory to Looming home and abusing their wives because their meals are not ready or are not of such quality as to tempt their morbid appetites. Surely the kindly, protecting, up lifting hand of the law should he ex tended to such oases as these. Hut there is another class of our citizens, small though it be, whose condition tabs loudly for special leg islation. That is the class of editors of daily papers, of which class the editor of the Columbia State and the editor of the Spartanburg Herald are prominent representatives. These men toil all night long, perverting and inverting Nature's laws by turn ing night into day and devoting to brain work, the heaviest of all work, the period given for rest and recuper ation, to the great detriment of their health and of the welfare of their descendants. Any one who has passed Editor Garlington’s office in the dead hours of the night, and seen by the dim light that shone through his window, his pale anxious face and his attenuated body bending over his work could not help but feel us we do that he should not be permitted to sacrifice a life which means so much for himself, for nis family, and for his State. We have presented only a few of the casts that have come within our observation, but enough to give our law-makers an insight into the na ture of the work before them. We trust that they will give these cases and other similar ones earnest and profound thought, so that by the meeting of the next legislature they may be prepared to deal with them wisely and for the good of the pres ent and of all future generations.

RECRUITS FOR U. S. ARMY. Thirteen Young: Men go From Hpartanbarg to The rhlllpplucM. Thirteen young men passed through the city a few days ago on their way from Spartanburg to Charlotte, N. C., to enter the United States army. They enlisted In Spartanburg for general service and later on will be assigned to commands. From Charlotte they will go to Columbus, Ohio, where there is a general rendezvous for recruits. Most of these young men will be sent on to the Philippines and they will then find that distance lends en chantment to the “glories of war.” The names of these young men are: John H. Davis, J. H.

Remain quietly at home and take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy as di rected and a quick recovery is sure to follow. That remedy counteracts any tendency of the grip to result in pneumonia, which is really the only serious danger. Among the tens of thousands who have used it for the grip not one case has ever been re ported that did not recover. For sale by Cherokee Drug Co.

Two l li'Ht-Clasu Altrartloim lluvo B< « n Seeured. The opera house has hail no attrac tion lately that has been worthy of being called a show and that for the simple reason that the management could not secure an attraction that they could recommend us being lirst- class. The management, however, have the pleasure to announce that for this month they have secured two of the best attractions on the road The first one will be “Sidetracked.” a musical farce comedy, owned and managed by Mr. A (). Scammon. Mr. Scammon is one of tne shrewdest of theatrical managers and every show he puts on the road, and ho has half a dozen or more, has the merit of being good. If it is not good he will not have it. Tbe attraction at the opera house next Wednesday evening will be the sensational comedy drama “Hide Tracked,” which deals with the funny- side of life on the railroad. “Side Trucked” is a comedy drama border ing on the farce; it is up-to-date, and as presented by the A. Scammon Company is a most enj >yable enter tainment. The play is written to amuse, and it never fails in this with the most exacting audience. The leading character is a tramp, and to him is accorded a regular ovation. Portrayed by tbe perfect mimicry of the actor, he appears in a role that appeals to the heart of every audi ence. and makes each spectator not only laugh as each familiar aspect of tramp nature is displayed, but arouses genuine enthusiasm, as the heart of oak is setn beating under the ragged jacket of the wayfarer. The play is interspersed with bright comedy, sparkling music, pretty girls and charming lovers. Its special scenery and mechanical effects are also worthy of special mention. It is breezy, bright and always on the move, and there is a vim and “go” about it that captures the gallery us well as the elite of every audience. Don’t fail to see this laughing success. “Sidetracked” will be here next Wednesday night. Secure scats at A. B. Gaines’ furniture store in advance. The next attraction will be “()uo Vadis,” concerning which we will have something to say later on. Early in*April we are to have Barlow ifc Wilson’s Minstrels. AH these are first-class shows, such attractions us visit Atlanta, Charleston. Spartan burg, Asheville and Charlotte, and we have the assertion of some of the managers that (iefTney is the small est town they visit, but they come to Gaffney because we ere metropolitan and are fast establishing a reputation for being a good town for first-class shows to visit. A Keport Corrected, Dr J. F. Garrett informs us that he has been told by several people that some time ago there appeared a notice in The Ledger to the effect that he haStnoved his dental parlors to the Commercial Hotel. We can not imagine how any one could start such a repoft, as wo are sure that nothing of the kind ever appeared in the columns of this paper. Every one connected with The Ledger knows that Dr. Garrett still has his parlors over J. R. Toiieson it Co.’s store and never even thought of his moving them to any place. We would like for the one or ones who saw this notice to^point it out to us or tell us when it appeared. By reference to Dr. Garrett’s card in another column it will be seen that he is stil! at his usual place of business; and :f he has ever thought of moving, we have □ot heard of it Difference In I’laccu. Postmaster Folger has called our attention to the- fact that he fre quently receives letters addressed to “Cherokee,” when they were intend ed to go to Cherokee Falls. These are two distinct places. Cherokee is In Spartanburg county, not fur from that city, and was once culled Chero kee Springs. Chertikee Falls is in Cherokee county, ’between Gaffney and Blacksburg. People who wish to send mail to either of these places should remember the above fact and be particular to add the “Falls,” if their mail is intended for that place, and simply “Cherokee,” if for tbe other place. r T , » <£W& Yrm/x** This signature i.s on every box of tbe genuine Laxative Bromo*Quinine Tabieu the remedy that cures a cold la one day COCAWE**” WHISKY TtublU 0).rK'l i:t • y :<n "iter- iuu, !■ 60 lim.irwl* of reforcncM. ‘J5 yenra n •pociulty.

Work Kt-KLUM-U on tin; Lint;-from Dlark*- Inirg to'Auga»ta. ‘■Quite a little stir was created this mornirg when’a man walked into the store of the A. H. Foster company and purchased some wheelbarrows and announced that he was going to renew work on what is known as tbe Three C’s railroad, running from Blacksburg to Augusta. The party said be was from the construction department of the South Carolina and Georgia Extension railroad, and that on last Saturday night he re ceived a telegram at Blacksburg tell ing him to immediately go to work on the old bed of the Three C’s. “He said he did not know anything further than that he was ordered to go to work on it. He now has two squads of men on it, one between here and Blacksburg and the other just below town. He further said that all that was probably wanted now was to get the track laid and the necessary work could be then done by the construction trains. BEM “The old Three C’s bed is graded to within about eight milesof Blacks burg and from here to Whitmire’s and on to Newberry and Augusta. After leaving Newberry it is proba bly graded for a narrow guage, but the party said it was wide enough to take the regular crovsties, and that it could he made wider after the rails were laid. “I’eople along the line are inter ested in this road, and it is to be hoped that it will he finished, now that it has been taken up.” The above information was in the Columbia State of yesterday, having been sent to that paper from Union. The information created no little stir among the friends of the road in this city and a Ledger representative im mediately sent a ’phone message to Blacksburg inquiring if the informa tion was correct. Mr. Herbert Tripp, in the absence of his father, con firmed the news. The Ledger knows that the many friends of the road will rejoice at the good news and we join in that rejoicing.
