THK HAMPTON INClDfcNT.-* The Ledger invites the careful at* teUtlon of its readers to the article onjthe first page in reference to the rldcLAurin-Hampton-ColumbU post* l office incident. It is unfortunate that a man's motives should be mis construed, especially when it is clear that the man means good. We have no hesitancy in saying that \ve be lieve that a misconstruction has been placed on this whole business by \poIiticians who had hoped to benefit themselves, but the following com munication of Mr. A B. Williams, forntarly of the Greenville News, but now of Richmond, places the matter In its true light, and must of neces sity give a black eye to those who bad hoped to make political capital out of the affair. Richmond, Va., May 4—In justice to Senator McLaurin I wish to make a plain statement of the facts regard ing the offer of the Oolumbii post- mastership to Gen. Wade Hampton. The offer was made at my urgent suggestion. As soon as I heard that Senator McLaurin would be likely to have much influence in the appoint ment of the Federal officers of Smth Carolina I. of my own motion, urged him to consider General Hampton’s name in connection with the place at Columbia. Senator McLaurin agreed that it would be a graceful and proper trib ute and said be would rather see Gen. . Hampton have the place than any othetman living, lie hesitated be cause he feared the proposition might be misunderstood. I told him I be lieved that General Hampton could be given such strong assurance that his acceptance of the position would in no way hamper his political action, that he could be satisfied on that point. I have reason to bolieve that such assurances were given him. I have been General Hampton’s de voted personal friend and admirer through good and evil fortune for twenty-five years. My hope was that he would be gratified by the voluntary tender of an important po sition at his own home which would promote his comfort and bo evidence of ihe honor in which he is held. Senator McLaurin’s distinct state ment to me after I had suggested the Hppointmcnt was that, he regarded ll.o. Hampton's character and record an putting him above and beyond or dinary political considerations. At this distance I have no means of knowing whether in a fight between McLaurin and Asbury Latimer, Gen. Wade Hampton would side with Latimer, nor can I imagine it that way. I do know that this probable political position was not mentioned between Senator McLaurin and my- eelf. A. B. Williams. NOTfSS AND COMMENTS. t I' ;,f‘> ~ That the planters of Cherokee are possessed of more wisdom than most people, Is evidenced by the fact that they are staying at home these days and preparing for their crop and not coming to town to discuss politics. If the people of Cherokee county desire to make rapid strides along the Hoe of progress and advancement let them begin at once the study of good roads and the benefits to be de rived from them. It would not be a bad idea to issue bonds to the extent of $100,000 and spend every dollar of it in the construction of good roads. The Ledger is aware that there are many who will raise a howl at this suggestion, but it they will stop to consider that there is no other man ner in which that much money could r be spent with the greatest advantage to the largest number of citizens of the county, and that the.saving in wear and tear of vehicles, gears, har ness and stock, to say nothing of the Increased advantages of being able to draw larger loads at less cost, then they would not think the suggestion a bad one, but would, on the other band, vote to issue $2(X>,000 or more for the improvement of the public roads. Let us begin to study the question and agitate it until some practical results are obUined. PICKETTS CHARGE. Views by the Gallant Colonel of the 14th Regiment (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Andkhson, 8. C., May 0.—Ed. Led ger:—Your editorial on Pickett’s charge at .Gettysburg, and Gen. Hemphill's statistics are suggestive of several things. At Gettysburg, the losses in killed and wounded in Scales' and fonr regiments of McGowan’s brigade were nearly equal to Pickett’s divU ion, ray four four-fifths as many. Scales' and McGowan’s broke the lines in their front, and McGowan’s carried the town in the pursuit. A heavy loss in a charge where success ful is proof of hard fighting and undoubted courage. But not so where unsuccessful, for in the latter the loss is nearly always much greater in a disorderly retreat than in the advance. Generals Ewell, Longstreet and A. P. Hill met with some success at Gettysburg until Gen. Picketts disas trous charge. The country in making up its judg ment Is generally right, and If wrong generally corrects and gets it right. But for thirty-seven years this coun try has accorded the greatest honors nt Gettysburg for the division which sustained the greatest disaster, and under this proposition it follows that If true, tbelr judgment must be cor, reel. h. M. AND M. BOOK CLUB llot<l* lift Ht^ulitr Mtctliif; at the Home of MImr l.uoipiiin. t('orre«poniH*nce of The L.?dKer > Bi. < Ksitrun May (» —The regular meeting of the Maid’s and Matrons’ Book Club, was held Saturday at the h'me of Mi?s Emmie Lumpkin. Tliis being the first assembling of the members after the Greenville Convention of the Federation of Women’s Clubs, the exercises were of more than usual interest. The delightfully warm day and the hostess, well known hospitality brought out the usually delinquents, and consequently the roll call showtd few absentees. The programme for the day con sisted of a •Report of the Federation of Clubs” by Mrs. M. M Freeman; a paper on “Forestry” by the same member, an article entitled “The Consumers League” by Miss D (, ai; a Parody on Women’s Clubs, by Miss Eiise Carwile. An interspersing of music rendered these exercises espe cially entertaining. Mrs. Freeman and Miss Heal, delegates to the convention, brought back new ideas of clubwork from which the members received inspira tion to make greater efforts and to do more valiant work in the advance ment of the interests of mankind. Mrs. Freeman was elected chairman of the committee on village improve ment for South Carolina. The Federation could not have marie a wiser choice for so important work, and we feel sure that much good will come from the convention’s selection. The' villages of our state need a hand to beautify their rusty, musty appearance. The people of South Carolina should rejoice that such an organization as this exists within its borders, and should lend every aid and encouragement for the fostering of such a body. Then, more women’s clubs, more committees, more conventions, and more power to the women ’ wlio organize and per petuate them. Has the 2Uth century woman at last found her true calling, to teach and show to the over-worked men how to make valuable and attractive the towns of our State? May no obstruction be put in the way of so worthy an enter prise, and may we see at no distant day the fruition of these efforts exhibited by the fair women of our commonwealth. More power to the women. The organization meets to act as well as to talk. And this meeting was no exception. For who could resist partaking of so tempting a collation as the hostess served Sat urday evening. Surely no epicurean. A Nigh Witness. MEMORIAL DAY. Will be OlMerved in Rlat-kHburg With Ap propriate Ceremonies. (Correspondence of The Ledger ) Blacksburg, May 6th.—Memorial day will be observed here on the afternoon of the 10th inst. Cape. W. T. R. Bell, of Rutherfordton, N. C , a most graceful and finished orator, will deliver the address at the Bap tist church and immediately after wards the soldier’s graves will be decorated. There will be appropri ate music, both vocal and instru mental, and all of the exercises prom ise to be of a most interesting char acter. Our friends across the river are cordially invited to attend, and we especially desire that as many of the Confederate veterans will come as can possibly do so. Our community was shocked Tues day last, April 60, at the announce ment of the sudden death of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Blalock, which oc curred about 4 o’clock of that day at her home on Pine street. She had been the subject of severe asthmatic attacks, and it is thought her death was due to heart failure Mrs. Bla lock’s maiden name was Gunthorp. She was boro in Fairfax county, Aug. filst, 18115, and was sixty-live years and eight months old. In Septem ber, 18f>G, she married Alpheus H. Blalock, and was the mother of six children, five of whom, Meisrs. Wil liam, Trant, Joseph and John Bla- Iock and Mrs. A M. Bridges, are still living in Blacksburg. Her elder daughter, Mrs. Belle Roberts, died several years ago. Mrs. Blalock, having inherited a portion of the land upon which Blacksburg is lo cated, was living here, near the Whiteside mineral spring, when the Airline railroad was built, and has continued to reside in this place ever since. In early life (1858), soon after moving to York county, she connected herself with the Baptist church at Antioch and lived a consist ent member thereof. To the writer, who has known her for twenty-five years, her life was a beautiful exam ple of Christian fortitude and pa tience. She had her share of the trials and afflictions of this wDrld and she bore them all in a quiet, un complaining manner, feeling, no doubt, that in her weakness she was upheld and strengthened by the ever lasting arms of her Master, and when the end came so suddenly she was ready for Hts call.

Two weeks from next Saturday Senator John L. McLaurin will speak in this city. His subject will be “Why I do as I please ” In this day and tiire it is customary for most men to do as some other people dic tate, but here is a man who, if he is doing what some one else dictates, is following those dictations to the chagrin of many others who desire to be his friend, and if he is not do ing as some people dictate is display ing the backbone and manhood of a patriot. In other words, if Senator McLaurin has been bought by the Republicans he is unworthy to un latch the shoe of the lowliest Den o- crat in South Carolina, and if he is acting, as he says he is, because he believes that what he has done is for the best interest of his people, then he is a patriot, and deserves more than be can ever hope to receive from the people of this State. It is simply a question of whether or not you impugn his motives. One must either accept his statement or rejecr. it. No man can tell what the heart of another contains. Many men have been misunderstood and ma ligned. The only safe course in a case like this is to listen to the man, hoar his statements and arguments, and if he convinces you that he is sincere and honest give him your moral support. If he fails to con vince you then reject him. It is only fair that the people of Cherokee should give Senator McLaurin a hear ing. He comes to Gaffney at the in vitation of some of her representa tive citizens, not one of whom is a politician, and he should be given that respectful attention that is due his position. During Senator McLaurin’s stay in Gaffney he will be the guest of Mr. A. N. Wood, on Frederick street. Plverytbiog will be in true democratic style and the house will be open to all who desire to call upon the Senator. STACY-ELMORE. A Popular Young Cherokee Cquple Plight Their Troth on Sunday.

He examined it and said it did not need cleaning. I asked him what it needed, and he said new bearings, for the ones that were in it were nothing but pot metal. I asked him how he would trade me a Rambler for mine, and he said he’d trade for $26.60 difference. I told him we could not trade. He said lie could buy my wheel new for $10.25, so we traded, and I have been riding my Rambler for eight months and haven’t pfiid out one. cent for repairs.” “I believe I'll go and get me one like yours.” “Come one, I’ll go with you.” “Hello Parker, fix S. up a wheel like mine.” “Alright, here it is.” “What’s it worth?” “$35.00.” “Here’s your money.
