TilK NKW TKI.KI’IIONK COMPANY.
Wc think that our new telephone
company is making preparations to
start olT on rather too high a horse.
II we understand the program, sub
scribers will ull be required to go in
person or by agent to the National
Hank by the second day of each
month and pay their dues under
penalty of being immediately cut olT
from telephone communication.
Now, that proclamation smacks too
much of arrogance and of dictatorial
powers, to please all of the subscrib
ers. Of course the dues must be
paid, and the man who will not pay
them, and pay them promptly and
regularly, has no claims to the bene
fits of the system.
Hut our contention is that the com
pany should send round a collector,
and that the company can better
afford to do this than those who use
the ’phones and pay for them, can
afford to go to the bank on a certain
day of every month to settle their
dues. It is to be supposed 'hat the
company will have in its employ men
who will not be all the time busy and
that those employees can do the col
lecting with little, if any, additional
expense to the company. So far as
we have observed this is the custom
in other towns, not only for telephone
dues, but for water and lights.
A telephone business organized on
the basis of our new company and
charging a dollar and a half a month
for the use of ’phones, is an immense
ly profitable business to the stock
holders. We know one system not
larger than ours, if so large, which
cleared last year over 50 per cent on
the investment. I'nder such con
ditions it does look like self interest
would prompt the company to give
its patrons as little trouble as practi
cable.
We think it unfortunate that the
company starts out, even before it
has put its system into good work
ing order, with such a high-sound
ing, arbitray manifesto about the
dues. Perhaps it has never occurred
to it that this “cutting loose” busi
ness is a game at which the sub
scribers can also p'ay, if occasion
should seem to justify it.
NOTK8 AM) COMMKNTS.
Owing to the very favorable weath
er which has prevailed since Christ
mas, farm work is well advanced and
with good weather through April
the next crop will be planted at least
three weeks earlier than last year.
This, if accomplished, will score one
point in favor of a good crop. It
may be lost in future contingencies,
but a good start in anything is al
ways encouraging.

A sqpad of crazy soldiers from the
Philippines passed over the Southern
one day last week on their way to
Washington. They were transported
in a sleeper, which was locked and
closely guarded. Some of the more
violent ones were hand-cuffed, and all
were utterly oblivious of where they
had been or whither they were going.
The burning suns of the tropical
isles has made greater havoc among
the American troops than the bullets
of the Fillipinos, while one noble
American life is worth more to fam-
r
ily and friends than all the islands in
the Pacific Ocean.

To the making of newspapers there
is no end. The latest evolution in
this Hne, of our section of country,
is the “Industrial News,” a four-page
six column weekly born last week at
Converse and devoted to the develop
ment and uplifting of the industrial
classes. J. W. Creen is the editor,
W. C. Allen local editor, Chas. E.
Carter business manager, and John
K. Queen circulation agent. The
paper appears to be all home print
and the first number gives evidence
of enterprise and efficiency. With
the three Cliftons at its back the
Newg ought to succeed and become
a power for good among the people
whose interests it espouses. We
welcome it to our exchange table
and wish it a safe and prosperous
journey over the stumpy and miry
roads of journalism.

It is said that Comptroller Ceneral
Derham cannot find the money for
the extra $50,000 voted for pensions.
Ho it looks like the veterans will not
get the extra amount, at any rate not
this year. We hear of no scarcity of
money for any other object for which
an appropriation was made. The
Htate colleges get ull they want, or
have the face to ask for; Charleston
gets $50,000 for her exposiiion, of
which we do not complain; but the
money suddenly and mysteriously
gives out just au the pension fund is
reached. Well, the Confederate vet
eran appreciates the handsome ac
knowledgment of his services made by
the recent Legislature, and gives no
tice that he can do without the money
awhile longer. He has never begged
for anything in his I'fe, and In his
younger days he was not much in the
habit of compluining—so little in the
habit that it will be exceedingly
awkward for him to fall into it now.
If the State can afford to neglect
him in bis old age, he feels that he
cannot afford to humble himself be
fore mortal man even In the extrem
ities of.want and infirmities of age.

The most unique, delightful and
becoming entertainment ever known
In Catfney was the reception given
last Friday night by the Winnie
Havis Chapter O. C. of Limestone
College to the Jake Carpenter Camp
of Veterans and the Smith Lipscomb
Camp of Sous of Veterans. The
college halls were gaily decked with
Confederate battle flags, blended
wkih red, white and blue and the col
lege colors of white and gold. For
once the sons did not enjoy a mo
nopoly of the attentions of the beau
tiful college girls who vied with one
another in lavishing affectionate and
beautiful attentions on the fathers.
These grizzled old warriors who
fought at Chancellorsville, Gettys
burg and the Wilderness are not
much accustomed to the elegant con
ventionalities of the drawing room,
but the charming ease and artless
grace of their entertainers made them
eel entirely at home, and they laugh
ed and told war stories to admiring
circles of beautiful girls with all the
enthusiasm of youth and all the in
spiration of the camp fires which
burned out long ago. The college is
emphasizing Houthern history and is
enlisting the sympathies of both the
veterans and their sons.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
It is refreshing in this day when
the laws are so often violated with
impunity that the people are in
danger of imbibing a contempt for all
law, to read such a report as that
made the other day by the grand
jury of Anderson in regard to the
now notorious labor contracts. The
jury in their investigations had
evidently gone to the bottom of the
evil and in their presentment they
stated the facts in a straightforward,
fearless manner. One magistrate
and four or five prominen* citizeni
ure exposed and presented for prose
cution, while some few others are
implicated either immediately or
remotely. The grand jury have done
their duty like men and the whole
country owes them a debt of grati
tude. Now if the petit jury will do
likewise, the dignity of the law will
be maintained, the impious convict
lease system will be broken up, and
the fact will be demonstrated at
home and abroad that the South
Carolina courts will protect the
rights and liberties of the humblest
and feeblest citizens of the country.
In the meantime let the northern
yellow journals sweep around their
own doors and turn their telescopic
eyes towards their own dens of in
famy. It will be time enough for
them to interfere in our affairs when
we demonstrate our inability to
manage them ourselves.
THE LAST MEETING.
I.lineHtoiiv (Tiontl Society Him Keen DIs-
■olved.
The last meeting of the Limestone
Choral Society was held in the col
lege auditorium on Thursday even
ing ol lust week.
The usual order of practice was
pursued up to the first recess, after
which an announcement was made.
Mr. Brown, in tones of regret and
disappointment, told the member#
that this would be the last meeting
of the society, unless some arrange
ments could be made other than he
was able to suggest; that the obtsin-
ing of an organ for the festival was
impossible, for which failure he was
not responsible, having endeavored
to get one here before that time;
and further, that the success of tbe
festival depended in a great degree
upon an organ for accompaniment,
knowing as the chorus did that tbe
Haptist church organ bad been used
last year.
Mr. Brown then asked tbe society
for any suggestions they might offer;
but no one was able to see a way to
mend matters and nothing was left
but to dissolve.
Mr. II. K Osborne, on the part of
the chorus, then rose to express their
regrets with Mr. Brown at tbe sudden
turn of affairs, saying, that they had
learned to love and respect their di
rector in the year and a half of
pleasant associations with him, and
they felt that though the festival
would not be, their meeting together
this year had not been in vain, but
very pleasant and profitable. As a
token of their gratitude, love and re
spect for Director Brown Mr. Osborne
moved that the society turn over the
amount in the treasury to Mr.
Brown, which was unanimously
agreed to.
Mr. Brown in dismissing the ao-
ciety, said, that ho had nothing but
praise and thanks to offer to the peo
ple of Gaffney, and especially to the
Choral Society for their earnest and
faithful support of tho musical de
partment of the college.
And thus it is that tbe May Music
Festival, which we had all believed
was a fixed institution at Limestone,
goes a glimmering.

THURSDAY NIGHT.
IleretttRe, Colt'iiutn A llmgl«r’n Mlniitrrla
Will Appear ut the Opera lloime.
Gaffney is to have another min
strel show. This time it is to be
Heretage, Coleman k Ik-agler’s Min
strels, and they will be here next
Thursday night. We have been un
able to secure any press notices of
this show but we know it is an all
white organization and that it is a
new company. The advance man,
Mr. Wm. Workman, who is also one
of the proprietors, was here Friday.
He is a young man of gentlemanly
appearance and he evidently has a
great deal of confidence in his show.
It is a small troup, but he assures
The Ledger that it is a good one.
One thing that makes us have some
confidence in his statements is the
fact that he does not claim it to be
the “best show on earth.” Every
body enjoys a good minstrel show
and as this one carries a first-class
band and a good orchestra there is
little doubt but that it will draw a
good house. Reserved seats at A. B
Gaines’.
‘•yuo Yftdia.”
The wonderful success attending
the production of this play has made
it a sensation of tho present dra
matic season. The book, of which the
play is a dramatization, has been so
extensively read and so favorably
spoken of by the critics and pulpit,
that everyone is anxious to see it in
dramatic form, for this reason it ap
peals not only to the regular theatre
going element, but also that great
class of people who but rarely visit
the play house. This accounts in a
measure for its success. The story
of the play is both instructive and
elevating, expressing the loftiest of
sentiments and showing the sufferings
of the early Christians, depicts a
thrilling story of life and love and
gives opportunity for startling effects
and sensational scenes. Its action
admits of its elaborate scenic sur
roundings, but the success of the
play in a manner depends on stage
craft and a beautiful story well told.
The stage version of the romance
opens in life house of Petronius and
the action begins with Yinicius con
fessing Lygia, tho ward and supposed
daughter of Aulus Plautius. Lygia
is in reality a hostage of the State
and on this pretext is seized by Nero’s
Pretonian guard at the suggestion of
the Emperor’s favorite. Petronius,
uncle of Yinicius. Taken to the
Royal Palace she escapes through
the agency of Ursus, her giant pro*
tector, but is pursued by Yinicius,
who iu the course of his adventures
falls among the Christians and meets
Peter the Apostle. Lygia is a Chris
tian and Yinicius, moved by his expe
rience among the martyrs, adopts
their religion.
The play ends with the victory of
I’rsus over the wild bull in the arena.
“Quo Vadis” will be presented at
tbe Opera House next Tuesday even
ing.
Card of Thanks.
The family of the late James D-
Templeton desire to thank the matfy
