The hopes of the people are cen
tering more and more in government.
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.

How to Cure the Grip.
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

AT THE OPERA HOUSE.
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.

It is oasy to toll wlu*n your nerve-force
and vital power are slipping away from
you. When your day’s work leaves you
weary and exhausted; when you are so
nervous, irritable and sleepless that your
nights are passed in restless tossing; when
you get up in the morning with no appe
tite for breakfast, and go around all day
with a headache; you may be sure your
nervous strength is being used up faster
than it is being renewed.

EXTENDING THE S. C & G. E.
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.
