It seems that the advance of political science demands changes in phraseology. Quite natural. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Poor old China has at last agreed to pay the nations $327,000,000 for her humiliation, and the nations ac cept it as an unwilling tribute to justice, humanity, and civilization. The world is fast ripening for destruc tion and the nations are toppling to a full. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ GatTney has grown six inches since last Saturday.—Greenville News. Our neighbor seems to have been taking a nap. GufTney grows more than six inches every day in the week and takes a rest on Sunday. Our contemporary didn’t see her on Sat urday nor during the week before, lie awoke on Tuesday, stared at her, and saw that she was bigger than he thought she was. That’s all he knows about it, but he will hear from Gaffney again. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We still hear occasionally from our persistent and obstreperous friends, the Boers. Their latest feat was the killing and capturjng of 174 British soldiers, including several valuable officers. What a pity that the Boers have no be'ter sense ihan to keep cutting and slashing away! England has already spent $275,000,- 000 on the war and lost 115.000 men, the flower of her army. So much for insatiable greed and the cruel spirit of oppression. Kruger knew what he was talking about when be told her of the price she should pay. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Platt amendment, which virtually makes Cuba a colony of the United States,lias been rammed down the throat of the Cuban Convention. The vote stood 15 to 14 for its adop tion. It was that or military domi- cution end subjugation, an 1 a bare majority of the Convention swal lowed the bitter pill. Conventions generally register the decrees of their masters. And yet Cuba “is and of right ought to be free and independ ent;” yet we have no designs what ever upon her freedom ; yet we helped her throw off the joke of Spain for pure humanity's sake! Just sc. Bah! ♦ ♦ ♦- ♦ Governor McSweeney has acted wisely and patriotically in declining to accept the resignations of our Senators, and perhaps to none will his action be more gratifying than to the Senators themselves. Me- Laurin is not ready for the fight, and Tillman from his standpoint has nothing whatever to gain, und incurs at least a chance of loss, in the con test. Yet Tillman is right in claim ing that the Governor’s powers are only ministerial, and that he has no right to refuse to accept the resigna tions if they are pushed upon him. In that case his duty would be to accept them, to notify the president of the senate, and to appoint two men immediately to succeed them. We haven’t any idea, however, that the valiant Senators will push him to this course. As wo have already intimated, they will no doubt yield to patriotic considerations and be easily pacified. The step was taken in the spirit of boyish bluster and bravado and as that spirit has been fully gratified, they can both now rest on their laurels and each boast of what be would have done. Tbe Appointment Oft. lYorkvlile EiHiuJrer.l Senator John L. McLaurin is not u> be in Yorkvilie next Monday in ac cordance with tbe original announce ment, and the meeting appointed for that time may be considered off. go far as The Enquirer knows there hae been no direct communication from tbe senator on account of the appointment"feince be left Gaffney, and in tbe absence of further advice what he said then is to be taken as governing the appointment. Althoughjthe developments|gt Gaff ney would not necessarily Interfere with a« appointment like this, it is reasonable to aseumethat on account of the new and remarkable situation there brought about, tbe plane of Senator McLaurin bare been con siderably changed; but that he will aoon appear before the voters of York «ount|r, either in joint debate, or in a calm, dispassionate discussion of th« vital issues be represents, it is to lie taken as a matter of course. .

GOVERNOR DID RIGHT Im till* (leneral Opinion of TIioho \V1h> Kx- pr«*HM,Ml TlieniHrlvt>n A ('uuipHiifn l» Not Wanted l>y I lie IVople of the Mule In nn Off Yenr. Yesterday a Ledger representative visited tiie following citizens of the city and asked them to voice their sentiments in regard to the action of Governor McSweeney in the Tillman- McLaurin senatorial muddle. The answers below are just as they wore given toThe Ledger man. Clerk of Court j. Eb. Jefferies: “Very wise thing, very wise.” County Supervisor J. V. Whelcbel: “I think the Governor acted wisely.” Sheriff VV. VV. Thomas: “If I had been the Governor I would have ac cepted both and appointed their suc cessors. I don’t believe in making a man work unless he wants to.” Rev. W. S. B. Ford: “I think the Governor acted very wisely. I hope if the Senators meant to resign that they will do so unconditionally and let the Governor appoint their suc cessors.” County Treasurer T. H. Littlejohn : “I think he acted very wisely. There was but one plan otherwise, if he had accepted their resignations, and that was to have appointed their succes sors at once.” John E. Jtfferies: “I think their resignations should have been uncon ditional ; but under the circumstances I think he did right. If they had got to the point where they could not serve, they should have quit and not endeav ored to keep the people in suspense.” Judge J. E. Webster: “I really don’t see any necessity of inflicting upon the State an unnecessary elec tion. We don't need any political excitement in an eff year. I agree with the (Jovernor—both Senators acted hastily.” Rev. W. H. Hodges: “I don’t know enough about law to know whether the Governor is right or wrong. There i9 but one way to do, and that is the right way. If he is wrong he should be condemned, but if he is right he should be commended. I don’t want South Carolina stirred up like she has been in the past.” James Riley Blanton: “I think he did right.” Mayor-N. II. Littlejohn : “I think he could not have acted more wisely. Any other action would have entailed unnecessary excitement on the part of the people. For him to have acted otherwise would have been to stultify himself. If they-want to resign let them do so unconditionally and the Governor fill their places. The Governor has displayed a mag nificent backbone.” W. H. Ross: “I think he did exactly right.” Prof. Wade R. Brown: “I think the Governor has done exactly right in refusing to accept the resignations. I think tiie politics o' the State is in sad enough condition without a heated campaign.” J. W. Tolleson: “I think the Governor’s action eminently wise. It will make him friends among the thinking people.” J. C. Gits, Esq.: “Governor McSweeney makes a legal and political mistake. As governor he can only accept their resigna tions. State campaigns are disturb ing factors, this we all admit. But in as much as this is an issue that goes to the basis principles of De mocracy, I think it should be pre sented to the Democracy of the State as a clear cut issue, without any mixing up of State politics with it. It will be utterly impossible for the issues to be properly presented by Senator McLaurin in a campaign where there are candidates running for governor and other State offices. Four or five candidates for senator need to occupy a whole day to dis cuss these issues intelligently. This will be utterly impossible iu a canvas where thirty or forty candidates are reciting their little ‘ditties.’ Again, no campaign can be run upon more than one issue at the time. To pull off the senatorial campaign at the same time of regular campaign, means all other issues will be over shadowed, and a set of ‘me too’ candidates from governor to coroner, as has been tbe experience in this State before, men elected for county supervisor, auditor or clerk of tbe court simply because he is or is not a ‘Commercial Democrat.’ I hope tbe Senators will stand by their res ignations, fight it out now, and leave the State campaign to be fought out on State issues. Prof. W. 8. Hall: “I don’t know about the wisdom of it; but I think it a very good policy.” Alderman T. L. Brown: “I think the Governor did exactly right in refusing to thrust a campaign on the people in this off year.” J. C. Jefferies, Ksq: “I have not considered tbe matter sufficiently to express an opinion. As I am not in politics, an ^opinion from me wonid not be worth anything. From a legal standpoint I do not consider that the Governor would have tbe right to refuse to accept an unconditional resignation from the Senators. He might legally do as be bae done, bat if they Insist. I do not think be has any option in the matter.” W. H. Smith: “I think be has done about right. If he is forced to accept tbe resignations, let him appoint their succeeeore. I don’t want any political wrangle thie year.. We have too much of that any way.” F. G. Stacy: “I think the Gover nor’s action about tbe best solution of tbe Question for tbe welfare of the people. 1 ’ B. K. Humphries: “I think by did tbe nm b«st thing before him. The beet thing would have been to eeignatlone and appoint- ‘ o were above spleen » Governor I would have dore as lie did. I do not know whe'.her it Is best or not. I should like to have heard there national questions dis cussed; but I can’t say but that tiie Governor did right.” A. Urquhart, of Blacksburg: “I think the Governor should have ac cepted and let them fight it out.” () E Wilkins: “I think the Gov ernor did tiie proper tiling. It rais ed him in my estimation. It was a wise action.” J. V'. L. MoCraw, member of the State leghlature: *T think the Goverm r did right in saving the peo ple the trouble of an extra campaign, provided he has the legal right to do so.” Alderman John I. Sarratt: “I think the Governor did the very best thing possible for the State.” W. C. Carpenter: “If the Gover nor did this with u purely unselfish motive, he has done exactly right.” J. G Wardlaw: “I think the (Jovernor did exactly right to avoid an unnecessary bitter campaign that would stir up the people.” Prof. Lee Davis Lodge: “As a matter of law, I think the Governor has no authority other than to notify the president of the senate and the legislature of South Carolina, that the two senators have resigned. His action in referring these resignations back is informcl, unofficial and exira legal. He has no authority to sit in judgment on the wisdom or unwis dom of the action of the two senators. The moral effect of the action of tiie Governor, and the subsequent atti tude of the two senators, will be to give Senator Tillman a very impor tant strategic advantage.” JJJDr. W. A. Fort: “I believe we have had enough politics for the present, and think the Governor did exactly right.” MUm McArthur EntertHiuft. Miss Addie McArthur entertained a number of her friends Thursday evening at her hospitable home on Victoria avenue. Despite the dis agreeable weather the invited guests were all present and spent the eve ning in full enjoyment of the pleas ures that such occasions ever afford. Those who were favored with invi tations were: Misses Addie Sams, Nannie Cora Riel.ardson, Agnes Lit tlejohn. Rosa Johnson, Ollie Scott, Rebecca Scott, Belle Scott, Nellie Wood, Fanny Corry and the Misses Poag; Messrs Maynard Smyth, Isham Richardson, Hollis, Tom Clarkson, Robert Munro, Will Johnson, Wof ford Humphries, Joe McArthur, Ed. McArthur. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Me- Lauchlin and Mr. and Mrs. VV. II. Smith. Delicious ice crem, cake and other delicacies were served and Miss Addie acted the part of the charming hostess to perfection. I>r. OttH l)eu<l. The following from the Spartan burg Journal will be sad news to many people in Gaffney who had the pleas ure of meeting Dr. Otts during his visit to this city a short time ago: “Rev J. M. P Octs, D. D ,of Greens boro, Ala , died suddjrily on Sunday. Dr Otts was one of the foremost men in the Southern Presbyterian Church and was a writer and scholar of note. Dr. Otts was in this section on a visit three weeks ago and renewed many acquaintances. He was a native of Union county and was an uncle of J. C Otts, Esq., of Gaffney.” Card of Ttianka. Eari.k, N. C., May 80—Ed. The Ledger :-f-Please say in your paper for me that the relatives of Dock Bridges cannot sufficiently thank the good people of Blacksburg for their kindness to Dock during his recent suffering and to his wife in her deep sorrow. It makes us feel nearer to them than ever before, and we wish that we could express our love and appreciation in fitting terms. May a Higher Power bless and reward each and every one of the generous friends in Blacksburg for their kind ness to the suffering husband and the bereaved wife. W. L. Rij-j y.

The use of linger kImhucr after dinner Is quite a modern Innovation In Ger many, introduced from England. Un til about ten years ago glasses were Indeed brought round at dessert at the very end of the meal, but this was for the purpose of rinsing tbe mouth, and a very comical Eight it was Indeed to see geiitle.uen and ladles In plain dress, or en grande tenue, washing their mouths at a sumptuously furnished table—or. for tbe matter of that. In any private or public assembly room—In stead of retiring to some private cham ber for this purpose. In Bavaria It often happens that per sons of talent, but without much knowledge of the manners of what Is called polite society, are Invited to dine with royalty, and not uuseldom has the misiuke above referred to been made there. The following little anec dote, however, contains the details of n practical joke played by a number of artists on a colleague still living who had for the first time received an Invitation to dine with the prince re gent at the Schloss at Munich: Several masters of the brush had re ceived similar Invitations, and as the painter In question was somewhat elated and excited by the honor con ferred upon him and at the same time singularly nervous and inquiring as to the way he would be expected to be have at tbe royal table bis confreres put their heads together and deter mined to play a practical Joke upon him. f He was accordingly told: “The first time anybody Is Invited to dine at court a special drink is bunded round in glass bowls, and tbe newly Invited guest Is expected, according to strict etiquette, to take one of these bowls In his band and to rise and exclaim, ‘I drink to tbe health of bis royal high ness,’ and then to quaff the contents of the bowl at a draft, make a profound bow toward tbe prince regent and so resume bis seat.” Tbe gentleman In question acted to tbe letter according to the Instructions given him. To tbe manners of tbe court must be attributed tbe suppres sion of all suspicion of a giggle, and It is stated that the royal host did not appear in the least disconcerted, but afterward tbe merriment was unre stricted.—London Telegraph.
