NOTES AND COMMENTS.
The discovery of oil in Texas marks
an ora in the Line Star State. I he
quantity is thought to be immense
and companies for manipulating it
have been formed with an aggregate
capital of $50,000.000 We wonder
how long before it will in the hands
of the Standard Oil trust, and whether
we shall hereafter pay more or less
for our kerosene.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
Now ccckfighting is to be prohibi
ted in Porto Rico, one of our out-ly
ing colonies, and the law against
cruelty to animals is to be rigidly en
forced by military authority. Mean
while there is no law against cruelty
to the highest animal, man, and that
will continue to be practiced on a
wide scale. But we are civilizing,
Christianizing, and benevolently as
similating !
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
. The Southern Baptist Convention
recently in session in New Orleans,
passed a resolution declaring that it
is unscriptural to demand indemnity
from China for the persecution of
Christian Missionaries and that the
denomination which this body repre
sents will not accept It. The reso
lution excited a good deal of sensa
tion and much comment over the
country. To our ears it has the true
•ring.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
(jaffnej is not big enough to con
tain the expanding spirit of her busi
ness men. The Carpet Mill people
went over to Charlotte and estab
lished another plant, and now our
Victor Oil Mill Company is going to
duplicate its mill and locate the du
plicate at Yorkville. It would not
greatly surprise us if Charlotte and
Yorkville should become suburbs of
Gaffney before the final winding up
of business affairs.
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
China has sent a lengthy answer to
the demand of the Powers for a war
indemnity of $.’127,000,000. She de
clares that she Js not only willing
but anxious to discharge every
honorable 'obligation, but she pleads
poverty and indirectly appeals to the
generosity and forbearance of her
Masters. She proposes to pay in
monthly installments $10,000,000 an
nually until the whole demand shall
be liquidated, and declares that she
can do no more. Poor old China!
She is in bard luck.
President McKinley’s royal prog
ress across the continent has been
held up iu San Francisco by the ill
ness of Mrs. McKinley. We are
sorry for the sick woman, but we
take do further stock in the show.
In monarchical countries, it is
thought necessary for the sovereign
and the most brilliant part of bis
court to make a journey occasionally
in order to impress tho people with
the dignity and splendor of royalty,
but the people still have a loose hold
ou him and they are not quite ready
to proclaim him king. They will re
serve that honor for his third or
fourth successor.

Senator McLaurin was invited by
a number of private citizens to ad
dress them at Gaffney the 25th in
stant. He accepted the invitation and
expacts to fill the engagement. A
few days ago the president of a dem
ocratic club at Blacksburg invited
Tillman to attend the meeting and
reply to Senator McLaurin. Tillratn
replied and gave this democratic
chairman instructions as to the man
ner in which he was to be invited.
He desired the invitation to come
from the executive committee, or
from a large number of citizens act
ing in a private capacity. That is all
wrong. It was a breach of good man
ners, even among politiciaus, who
are not always burdened with nice
little courtesies, for that chairman
at Blacksburg to interfere in this
matter. The men who invited Mc
Laurin are supposed to have charge
of the affair and the clubs of the
county and the executive committee
have no business meddling with it.
Senator Tillman should certainly not
accept an inv'tation to reply to Mc
Laurin, unless the committee that
invited McLaurin extended an invita
tion to him also.

The liability to diseas*? is greatly
le: sc icd when the blood is in good con
ditio i, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly carried out of the system ;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
— fermentation would take place, the
blood become j>olluted and the consti
tution so weakened that a simple
malady might result seriously.
A l.cailiiy, active < irculation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.
As a blood purifier and tonic S. S. S.
has no equal. It is the safest and best
remedy for old people and children
because it contains no minerals, but is
made exclusively of roots and herbs.
No other remedy so thoroughly and
effectually cleanses the blood of im-
purities. At the
same time it builds
uj> the weak and de
bilitated, and reno
vates the entire sys
tem. It cures permanently all mannei
of blood and skin troubles.

all the medicated soapa and saTvea without
