A litlle Hatter on this side of the Atlantic has been caused by a report said to have started in London that there is to be a world alliance formed against the I'nited States. We in cline to the belief that some Ameri can started the report in an effort to exploit the importance of his own country which doesn’t look half so big to the trans-Atlantic world as it does to American Jingoes. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The recent cold spell extended over the entire South. The temperature was low enough for killing frosts, but fortunately the sky was generally covered with clouds, and little harm has been done to vegetation more than chilling and retarding its growth. The fruit crop in this im mediate locality is perhaps injured to some extent, but without any further mishap, there will be an abundant crop. Reports from the fruit grow* ing regions of South Carolina and Georgia are to the effect that the crop is not materially injured. Knox ville Tennessee seems to have been the coldest place in the South. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The present legitimate territory of the United States is sufficient to sup port with ease five hundred millions of people. It will probably be two hundred years before the population will reach those figures, if indeed it may ever reach them. How is it then'that the country has outgrown the constitution and expansion has become a necessity? One great menace to the permanence of this republic is its already huge propor tions. Its territory embraces every vsiiety of climate and production and the interests of the people of dif ferent sections are so varied and con- llu-ting that it wi 1 ! tax the wisdom of intin to he'd the great heterogeneous m iss together under one government. V'hy then reach out into the middle r.f ..o' r.cific, five thousand miles Iwnnd our borders and take under o.r care a group of over a thousand islands with a semi-barbarous popu lation of ten millions of people? What earthly use have we for these islands and these people that we should spend so much blood and treasure to bring them into our pos session? We should feel under last ing obligations to the man who would give a clear, concise, adequate an swer to this question. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ One of the most unique petitions aver sent to the Governor’s office was that sent the other day by the Oconee county chain gang. This petition cites the genercl fact that the gang are not treated right by the supervisor, and specifies that they are a humble obedient set of fellow mortals, convicted of insignificant of fences, and are entitled to more dis tinguished consideration than they get. They further specify that they wear the same clothes for weeks without washing or mending and that the Supervisor will neither wash nor mend for them, nor give them new clothes, when their time is out. The crowning grievance is that he compels them to attend the nearest church on Sunday without any strict regard for the condition of their toilet, all of which is mortifying to their pride and disrespectful to the good people among whom their lot is temporarily cast. Really our sym pathetic Governor ought to do some thing to relieve the tender feelings and to soothe the wounded pride of these festive gentlemen of “ways that are dark and tricks that are vain/’ We suggest to them that in case the Governor should prove hard hearted they send their (petition at once to the Women’s Clubs now in session at Greenville.

A few days ago some of the repre sentative citizens of this city sent a special invitation to Hon. John L. McLaurin, United States senator from South Carolina, to come to this place a‘. any time convenient to him, and address the people of Gaffney and Cherokee county on the great issues of the day with which our law makers in Washington are contend ing. The following reply wr.s received from Senator McLaurin: Hon. N. H. Littlkaohn, Mayor of Gaffoey, * Gaffney, 8. C. DeakSik:—I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the in vitation extended me by the citizens of Gaffney to address the people of your section on the issues of the day, and asking that I name some time that will be convenient to me. I am to speak In Greer.ville on the 22nd of May, and I shall be pleased to be with you on May the 25th. Please express to the gentlemen joining you in the invitation my sincere appreciation of the same, and believe me to be, Yours very truly, Jxo. L. McLaurin, U. S.8. In consideration of the high posi tion be holds and the relation be bears to the people of the entire State, it is nothing but right that Mr. McLaurin be given a fair and re spectful bearing. This is a free country and every man has a right to entertain opinions of his own, to be lieve as he pleases and to express his opinions and beliefs. You are not compelled to agree with him, of course, but it is your duty to hear him and weigh well and impartially what he says before condemning his posi tion, bis assertions or his actions. Let everyone who can possibly do so, be here on the 25th of May and listen to what Senator McLaurin has to say. He may tell you some things that you did not know before; but should he not, it will do you no harm to lend a respectful ear to a man who is in a position to be well up on the pending issues of national interest. ‘WRONG MAN.” Agent Newlxiltl Suyn FrUoner I* Not K. Keen*. M. Yesterday’s Columbia State says: After all, it turns out that the man under arrest at Oxford, Miss., was not the much desired M. R Reese. Mr. Newbold, when he left, stated that he did not believe that the Mis sissippi authorities had gotten Reese. The authorities there were so posi tive, however, that the governor thought it absolutely necessary to at leaft send some one tn see whether it was the man wanted. Last night the following telegram was received by the governor: To Gov. McSweeoey, Columbia, 8. C. Wrong man. Looks nothing like Reese. Will write from home. W. H. Newbold. Many said when the letter from the Oxford she r iff first came that Reese, having been smooth enough to dig his way out of the York jail in the manner be did, would have sense to get far enough away not to be cap tured easily. The confidence in the fellow’s mental capacity, it now ap pears, was not misplaced.

Messrs. I). (J Ross, W. F. Hum phries and Dr. C. T. Lipscomb went over to \orkville Friday evening to attend a reception. It would Lave been u difficult matter for the York- ville people to have selected a more congenial or representative trio from Gaffney. E. J. Barnett and G. C. Head, formerly of Gaffney but now of For est City, N. C., were in the city Sun day shaking hands with their numer ous friends. Mrs. Stanley Mason, nee May Thompson, of Richmond, Va., is in the city on a visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Twitty Thompson, on Victoria avenue. She will spend several weeks here. Messrs. W. N. Austell and C. H. Robbins and Misses Green and Gar- ling,-«ll of Pacolei Mills, spent Sun day with the family of Mr. W. G. Austell near Limestone. Wortli Little, of Charlotte, spent Sunday with his family here. W. Sam Lipscomb, one of the county’s most progressive and up-to* now planters, was here on business yesterday. He said the recent rains had not injured him in the least. J. R. Killian, of Cherokee Falls, visited our city Saturday. Robt. C. Lipscomb, now a promi nent young merchant in Spartanburg, spent Sunday at bis old home. E. K. Belue, of Blacksburg, was here Saturday pushing the insurance business. W. 8. Stover, of Union, was among the visitors in the city Saturday. T. J. Hames, of Asbury, was among the prominent Cherokeeans in the city yesterday. Misses Victoria Amos and brother Herbert, of Spartanburg, visited Senator and Mrs. R. C. Sarratt from Friday to Sunday. Mrs. Victor Montgomery, of Gaines ville, Ga., is visiting her parents. Prof, and Mrs. Griffith, and her daughters at Limestone College. -Dr. H. B. Tate, of Trough, was in the city Saturday, Dover Little, of Wofford College, spent Sunday in the city with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. Q. Little. He was accompanied by Horace Brown, one of his class-mates. Howard Littlejohn has returned to Wofford College after spending sev eral days at his home in this city. Wilks Brown, Ravenna’s ' popular young merchant, was in town yester day. A Lmaoo In Advertising. [Gastonia News.) A Yorkville merchant in an inter view says that he has an excellent trade in his line from people who ive near Gastonia and Gaffney. He says there are merchants in both towns who keep just what he keeps and those merchants would, in all probability, effect most of these sales if the customers knew where to go to find what they want. The Vorkvilie merchant has a neat ad. in his home japer so worded as to show what you may expect to find in his store. On examination of the local newspapers n Gastonia and Gaffney we failed to find any evidence that such goods could be found in either town. Peo ple will go where they are confident that they will have no trouble in getting what they want. A mer chant in these days must keep his wares constantly before the people and not expect the people to waste their time in trying to find out what be bas to sell. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Local Items Too Short for a Head Grouped Together. Rev. G. Croft Williams, of Blacks burg, held services in the Episcopal church Sunday. John Gettes has the first ripe strawberries on the Gaffney market. He put them on yesterday and in a few days will have plenty of them for sale. Dr. Garrett’s new residence on Limestone street is going up rapidly. Mrs. Jefferies’ handsome building on the same street is well under way, and Mr. E. H. Gaines’ elegant dwell ing on Victoria avenue is rapidly nearing completion. They will all be handsome structures when com pleted. Photographer John Green will shortly have a photograph of the wrecked railroad bridge over Buffalo Creek where Engineer Metcalf went down to his death. The negative is a splendid one and was made by Mr. E. J. Barnett, of Forest City, N. C , as he passed the place on his way to this city Saturday. The Recital Friday "Kvenlug. The elocution recital at Limeatone College Friday evening wa* a decided success in every way. The members of the class who recited gave evidence of excellent training and thorough drilling io their respective parts, and they conducted tbemselvea with the ease and grace of professionals. Miss Richardson deserves much praise for her work in the elocution department of the college, (^uite a number of Gaffney people attended the recital and alt were highly pleased with the entire program. Oil Mill at Rich mu. W. Ciabe Hopper, our veteran house-mover, went to Rich Hill yes terday to begin the erection of a cot tonseed oil mill at that place for Murph A Co. He will first build a sidetrack from the Southern railway out to the location of the mill. Mr Hopper has five wagons with him, and it is safe to say that the mill will go up in a hurry under his expe rlenced supervision. Jolt Coultln’t Hava ktuod It If he’d had Itching Piles.

Hr r;x|>rt’MNr* IIIn SenUmenlH on n t'xtxll- <lnte for .Wittrlinonjr. tCorreauondenca of The Ledger ) Bitkai-o, April 24.—The railroad wreck last Saturday waa the greatest disaster that ever occurred in this section. Fred Rhyne was rescued about one mile below the wreck, instead of as reported in Tuesday’s Ledger. A j Mr. Harroll, who awam the raging current of the creek to rescue him, deserves the credit of being a brave hearted man. That new bridge across Buffalo creek which cost the county such an enormous price, was knocked from its foundation by the railroad wreck and floated some distance down the creek. But let nobody attach any blame to the contractor who built it, because there is not a bridge in the county that could have withstood the force of all the rubbisii that came against it. Not long since my attention was called to the following advertisement: “Wanted:—AJwife; must be a Chero kee county girl on the sunny side of forty who can cook, sew and play the piano. Apply to J. E. J., Gaffney, 8 C 99 Who can this fellow “J. E. J. be," but J. Eb Jefferies, our popular and efficient clerk of court! I have often adjudged him as being niggardly, stingy and, beside, a very cheeky fellow, to go before thd people and ask them to gently take him up in their loving arms and lay him down on the softest bed—the fattest office in the county—and not be willing himself to lend a helping hand to some poor girl along the journey of this troublesome life, and had made up my mind to enter the race next year as a candidate for clerk of ccurc against him on the issue just mentioned. But it now seems that he has exhausted every mt-ans of ob taining a wife, and advertised only as a last resort.. But now it seems that I had grossly misjudged him, and I am sorry of it from the very depths of my soul. I humbly beg his pardon. Poor fellow! He is an object of pity with every sympathetic hearted person in the county, especially the young ladies. It is evident tliut they have treated him coldly and they ought to repent of it. By the way, he and our popu lar deacon, Mr. Fletcher Duncan, ought to exchange sympathy with each other and mingle thtir tears to gether. But nothing would heal the wounds in their troubled hearts like the tender love and sympathy of son o yourg lady, and there is no more worthier object in the county for some young lady to bestow her love upon than Brother Jeff r es. I now appeal to every young lady n the county, except one, to consid er this advertisement very carefully and send their application to the clerk’s office at the earliest possible moment. Let him have no excuse for living for himself alone in a state of everlasting wretchedness. If he refuses you just let me know it and I’ll make things warm for him in the next primary election. B \< IIKI.OK. Choctaw Chroniclt*. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Chchtaw, Miss., April 21.—The rain and cold snap have put a stop to farm work. I will endeavor to give you a roll of my brothers who took part in the Confederate war, although I was but boy ten years old at the time. Brother Thomas enlisted February, 1801 in Carpenter’s company and died at Richmond January 7th, 1802, aged twenty years and one day; Ed ward F. Blanton volunteered and joined Capt.

J. J B. His Leg Amputated. Sunday Morning Doctors S. B Crawley and B R. Brown went out In the country and amputated the leg of Moses Palm, a colored toy who lives on Mr. D. B. Wood’s place below Limestone. Years ago when a child this negro had the misf< r une to fall in the fire and burn his left leg so badly that the wound never healed. He has suff -red much and long with the injured member, and lately it became so bad that it was deemed necessary to .ampBate the limb. The operation was successfully pt:- formed and Moses will no doubt pu 1 through alright.

Alto gether, the sermon was one of tl.e best lhat it has been the privilege of u Gaffney audience to hear in some time. Tn the afternoon Dr. Otts delivered a lecture of “Tho Holy Land” at the First Baptist church. It was in structive and highly entertaining from beginning to end and the uni versal comment on all sides was that it was a treat. Dr. Otts is the guest of his nephew, Mr J. C. Otts, while in the city. His many friends here will look for- ward to his future vhits to Gaffney with a great .deal of interest. He coes from here to Columbia where he will preach the baccalaureate sermon before the graduating class of the College for Women on next Sunday. The young ladies have a treat in store. Clear of Debt.
