Born into political life under abnormal condi tions and carried into high position on a wave of unreasoning prejudice, he has certainly not yet shown either ability, wisdom, or intellectual and moral power sullicient to entitle him to the gratitude, admiration or even the marked consideration of his countrymen. But as the position which he now holds is next to the highest that is open to an American citizen and one that involves power to effect the interests of the whole country, it follows that his political conduct, as well as his utterances, becomes a matter of grave Import to ^ his constituents. His speech in Charlotte is nothing but the faint echo of the old Repub lican song of prosperity—prosperity, the panacea for every ill—wealth, the all-sufficient excuse for every species of rascality—commercial gain the complete vindication of injustice, cruelty, and oppression— material comforts and luxuries, the antiseptics that preserve the con science from the taint of every type of moral degradation. God help the nation if such be its creed and such , its standard of greatness! VVhy does not the Senator show us how the republican policy has brought about this prosperity over which he becomes so enthusiastic? Did our war with Spain, our seizure of Porto Rico and our treachery with Cuba open the door for Southern trade with China? Was not that door already open and had not South- , < rn productions already for a decade or more been finding their way in t . 'di.y increasing quantities into Chi. 3- ports? Has our war of two veurs in the Philippines, involving the expenditure of hundreds of mil lions of dollars and the sacrifice of thousands of American lives, brought prosperity to anybody but army con tractors and dishonest quarter-mas ters? Does the destruction of free competition in business, the foster ing by a protective tariff of great monopolies that fatten on the prod ucts of the laborer’s toil, the wrest ing from the people by indirect taxa tion of over seven hundred and fifty millions of dollars every year, an average of more than ten dollars apiece for every man, woman, and , child in the United States, the ac cumulation of a hundred millions surplus in the treasury at Washing- t ton, every dollar of which ought to be circulating among the people— these are all the fruits of republican policies—and do any or all of these combined bring prosperity to the masses? 1 To any sensible man who is not blinded, it is clear as the noonday sun that all these are heavy drains . on general prosperity and that the prosperity of which we hear so much, exists, if it exist at all, in spite of • republican policies, and that but for those policies it would be far greater ^ than it is. Mr. McLaurin tells us that the question as to whether we are to have one strong consolidated central gov ernment or a loose combination of independent States, was settled by the great Civil War, and that our foreign policy was settled by the war with Spain. In the light of these facts it is unpatriotic, if not traitor ous, to oppose policies and principles that have been settled in so decisive a manner. Now we submit that the only ques tion ever settled by war is the ques- tioaof physical might, and that is settled only for the time. Principles remain unchanged, and the time comes in the march of events when they will summon the powers of Heaven and earth for their vindica tion. The principles for which the Southern States fought were trampled down by brute force, but they have the same vitality today that they had fifty years ago, and the hope of this continent and of mankind is that they will yet be triumphant. The war with Spain settled the question of our strength as compared with that of our antagonist, and revealed the fact that as a nation we are de serting the principles under which the country has flourished and grown strong, and inflamed with greed and •wollen with pride and arrogance we are going forth to scourge mankind and to exact tribute from the ends of t ‘>e earth. i’et when some of us oppose such a policy and insist on old-iashloned honesty, fair play, and charity for all mankind, we are taunted by smart upsUrti aud greedy, unprincipled demagogues as being behind the times, h* adhering to dead indues, an dishonoring the American ling. Wait a few years and the world will see who have been fools and traitors. it is with pleasure we present to our readers with this issue the speeches of Minister Wu, Senator McLaurin, Mr. Smytbe and Prof. Dabney delivered at the banquet of the Southern Manufacturer’s Club at Charlotte last Thursday evening. Looking at the matter from a purely industrial standpoint we are forced to the conclusion that the gentlemen who spoke have at heart the best in terests of the industrial south. We must acknowledge that this section has changed in twenty years from a purely agricultural section to a quasi manufacturing one. We feel that we are doing our constituents a ser vice in printing these speeches and also in printing Senator Tillman's criticism and Senator McLaurin’s reply. While we do not accord with Senator McLaurin’s views entirely we still believe he is the best man that has represented the State since the days of Butler and Hampton, and we believe he has done and is doing more for his State than any Senator since the war; not that Hampton and But ler would not have done as much had they had the opportunity, hut sim ply because the opportunity has pre- eent.-d itself and McLaurin has taken advantage of it. The sooner the people learn to act and think for themselves, regardless of dema gogues and buffoons, the better off will they be. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Local Items Too Short fora Head drooped Together.

They will occupy the Bap tist paisonage, corner Montgomery and Race streets. Mr. and Mrs. Reid will receive a warm welcome by the good people of that neighborhood. G. M. Phifer, of Pacolet Mills, was in the city Tuesday. Mr. Phifer owns considerable property here, and we hear be is thinking of moving to this place at an early day. He is a gen tleman whom any city would be proud to own and we are sure that Gaffney would be glad to have him within her borders. We are indebted to Mrs. W. 0. Lipscomb for some fine butter from her dairy and some excellent bread baked with her own bands. The but ter is rich and delightful to the taste and the bread gives evidence of Mrs. Lipscomb’s remarkable skill as a cook. We assure her that both were highly appreciated. There was a rumor around town yesterday to the effect that W. W. Wood, of Pacolet, was in the city, his principal business being connected with the feminine gender. In other words it is said that Gaffney is likely to lose a fair charmer or gain a new citizen if Mr. Wood does not cease his visits. In the notice of the “Mun” re ception to be given by the ladies of the Presbyterian church which ap peared in Friday’s Ledger the re porter inadvertantly wrote that the reception would be given in the Pres byterian church, when the facts are that it will be given at Parish’s Hotel, and the event will come off next Friday night. All are invited to join in the fun. At the regular services at the church on Sunday a week ago the congregation of Corinth passed a res olution inviting the Sunday School Union of the Middle Section of the Broad River Association to hold its next meeting, which convenes on the fifth Sabbath in June, with them. It is very likely that the Invitation will be accepted and there can be no doubt but that the meeting will be a most successful one. George A. Letford, the genial rep resentative of the II. E Bucklen Co., of Chicago, was in the city Thursday. He closed his seventh yearly contract with this paper, paying the card rate for the same, and while he would have liked to have been able to se cure the advertising at a less rate he was willing to pay the rate, paying us the compliment of saying that The Ledger is one of the best he has on his list, and his list includes marly every paper in North and South Caro lina and Georgia and some other states. « The Vivian DeStonto Co.

Lockhart Koytilly Kutcrtaliin Lnorce Trrs> bylcrjr, iCurrespondenott of The ledger.) Etta Jake, April 20—As your readers are aware of our attending the meet lug of Enoree Presbytery, which convened at Lockhart on the evening of the Kith inst., they will expect us to say something about it as well as the people of that model factory town of perhaps 1 200 or 1,500 persons, who extended to us and the Presbytery such a cordial welcome and royal entertainment during our sojourn among them. The Presbytery met in the new Presbyterian church, which has just been completed. It is a beautiful brick building with a seating capac ity of GOO or 700 people. It is built on the most improved style aud is a credit to the town, aim especially to its promoters. The comm'Hee had only time to get the building in read iness for the meeting of the Presby tery and consequently the furniture had not all been placed in position. Yet ample accommodations were pro vided for the immense congregations that gathered there during the mi et- ing of the Presbytery. The first service held in it was that preceding and including the formal opening of the Presbytery. The con gregations were orderly and every thing seemed to be a unit in making the Presbytery a grand success. Rev. 8. R. Hope, retiring moderator, preached the opening sermon. They had a first class choir led by that veteran singer, M \ James Evans, with Miss Nannie Keasler at the organ and Misses Ross and Wherry with their cornets. The mu sic was simply grand—it would have done credit to Tremont Temple, Bos ton, or any other place we have ever attended. While Euoree Presbytery has the honor of being the first body to hold services in the new building, the infant of Mr. and Mrs. Dr. Braw- ley was the first to receive the sacra ment of baptism in it. We have many things to say about the meeting of the Presbytery and its workings, but as these will all appear in the published minutes we will de sist at present. The town of Lockhart is. as we have already said, a model factory town. Its population is made up principally from Chester, York, Union and Cherokee counties. One of the most beautiful features of the mill workings is it gives employment to everybody who wants it. Loafing is not allowed on tbe premises. They are a church-going and school-attend ing people—much more so than the average of these towns seems to he. When a great work like that of en tertaining a Presbytery is on hand you can’t discern anything like de nominational lines—Methodists, Bap tists, Associate Reformed Presbyte rians aud Presbyterians all work to gether in harmony and take special care to see that all visitors are taken care of and made to enjoy themselves. They threw open their doors and gave a hearty welcome to all. Had the session lasted a week we believe the people of Lockhart would have been glad of it. Personally, we felt that we were among friends and had hard work to resist the temptation to remain there several days longer. We met quite a number of old friends and made quite a number of new acquaintances, who kindly invited us to visit them in their homes and enjoy their hospi tality. Some of the young men also invited us to attend a meeting of the silver cornet band. This is one of the greatest social attractions. It is composed of about twenty first rate young men who have been taught by Prof. Herndon, and they have ac quired a high state of proficiency in the use of their instruments. Taken all in all our trip was a very delightful and pleasant one and the Presbyters all were fulsome in their praises of Lockhart and the people they had met there, as well as the hospitality with which they had been treated. Long may the ties of Chris tian love and human sympathy shown by these people be cultivated aud grow stronger and firmer in the hearts of all denominations. We met on our trip our old friend, Mr. B. Frank Webber, the proficient bridge builder, who has just finished an excellent job at Meng’s mill. Mr. Webber has many relatives in this county and among our Ledger readers who will be glad to know that he is ranking among tbe best and most re liable workmen in this country. He deserves great credit for the position he has gained in the hearts of his countrymen by bis energy and self reliance. We were also glad to meet Mr. Marion Smith at Lockhart. Ho Is postmaster at that place and is mak ing himself useful to tbe company and hopes soon to secure promotion. Some of our readers will doubtless remember that several years ago he got bis leg terribly mangled and bones broken by getting It entangled in a buggy wheel. He lay for six months at the home of his uncle, Mr. A. Frank Smith, at Flint Hill, be fore be was able to get to his home at King’s Creek, where bis parents, Mr. and Mrs. Miles Smith, now live. While Marlon stands well in tbe esti mation of his employers, he stands equally well among the young ladles of the town and we hope to see him succeed with both. He is a deserving young Cberokeean. j. l. s. The Hi-mmI Klver Hrltlga. Blacksbukq, April 22. Editor Ledger:—It Is evident that one bridge across Broad river can be built for less than ten thousand dol lars and there is now a scheme on foot to use the whole iraountof ten thousand toward building two bridges, but before that is done the matter ought to b# submitted to tb > taxpay ers of the county.
