Jill > A—. jence and of ititollectual activity. We repeat that the progressive people of Gaffney can not afford to let this opportunity slip and thereby fall behind their live sister towns in intellectual advancement. The whole country is aroused to the importance of educating the children, and South Carolina is spending over a million dollars annually on her free schools, besides providing five State colleges for her young men and women. Yet from the nature of the case a common school education must be limited mainly to the conveniences and necessities of life, and compara tively few of our young men and women can go to the colleges even under the most favorable circum stances. The great mass of our peo ple, young and old, must work for a living, and it is for them that the lyceutn is organized, and to them that it brings the greatest benefits. In the present instance, too, the people of Gaffney have an opportuni ty to supplement and strengthen the work of Limestone College, and the college will extend and intensify its influence in the town. We hope that the ladies who have been asked to "cantaaw the town will meet with prompt and hearty encouragement. The number of season tickets requi site to secure the course ought to be 8)id in a day. Surely there is not a man in Gaffney having the true welfare of the town at heart, and wishing well to our college and to the intellectual and moral advancement of our'people.'who will begrudge the very small amount of money he will be asked to contribute to the securing of this course of lectures. ^ THE I'OOK El) I TO K. What can a man write about worth the reading when the hot wave is scorching the land from Maine to Texas, when the very air is simmer ing with heat, and the mercury is hugging the 100 mark in the shade? Pity man and beast stirring the dusty ground under the blazing sun; pity the men who are toiling in the great foundries where natural and artificial heat combine to melt and vaporize and paralyze the powers of life; drop a tear for the great cities sweltering and steaming, panting and suffocating with the intense heat ab sorbed and radiated and pulsating in from Eretflfc; but reserve* modicum of pity for the newtpapei editor whose condition Jp perhaps the most.forlorn, wretched, and helpless of all; * He trleff?to rouse hfinself, but his power is jgorie; be opens his ex- changes^ the bo^O that sorqgothe* editor^* said something that will givjr'hlm a one, but he is bitterly dis appointed, for the other editor^s as fielplesf^t hiMasif; he glances over the pewaooluiniyi ia,ijifc hppe^f ftnd- in* •Q®efchmg that Will fate rest him re blmdio write a paragraph, • stealings and killings that he reaaa/of have lost tbehr power to aro«a<ihla), and besides he has writ- about these things than/ «!m*s before f WSI )g In the political Picayune jlfekf pior- trjrjJ* ‘‘no good;'?

It seems that the United States Govern ment has them sent and of course foots the bills, which is to say that South Carolina pays only her share of the expenses. We are much obliged to the Journal for the infor mation, but still the policy is little more attractive. Kill, plunder, edu cate, Christianize. These are the heroic measures that are to reclaim the waste places of the earth and make them blossom as the rose. ♦ ♦ ♦ The recent modifications of the political opinions of the Spartan burg Herald, together with the sale of that paper to Mr. J. T. Harris, led the Columbia State to suspect that a deal had been made in the interest of McLaurin, whereupon both Mr. Harris, the proprietor, and Mr. Gar- lington, the editor, announce that there is absolutely no politics in the change that has been made, that Mr. Harrio has bought the paper solely as a business venture, that Mr. Gar- lington as editor is wholly untram meled by any pledges or restrictions, and that the editorial policy of the paper will continue as it has been heretofore, free and independent. These announcements ought to satisfy for the time at least, the most skept ical and querulous. At last a lying northern historian has been called down. E. S. Maclay, in the third volume of his history, says that Rear Admiral Schley ran away from the battle of Sautiago in “caitiff flight," and .further de nounces him as a coward, a cur and a traitor. That’s pretty history! And yet that is about a fair sample of the so-called histories of the past thirty years. This spirit of vituperation and abuse has been mainly manifested towards the South, and thus far has been indulged in with impunity. But at last the partisan historian has waked up a lion. Admiral Schley de mands a court of inquiry, which will be granted, and it is understood that the decision of this court will be fol lowed by civil proceedings for libel. Admiral Schloy is rather a favorite with the public and it is probable that by the time this matter is ended Maclay will have some dim concep tion of the value of truth and decency j ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The newspaper is an indispensable modern institution, but its financial success depends on its adaptation to the |ournalistic capacities of its locality.

Greens- boro. N. C., a pushing town of some 10 t 000 inhabitants, had one daily pa per which was eking out a fair living. ‘A company was organized with abundant capital, the best journal istic talent' was secured, and another bright, breezy daily was started, with a flourish of trumpets and with every outward sign of success. But after a career of about one year the new paper ia in the hands of a re ceiver while the old one is still plod ding in the old beaten tracks. Moral: Support the paper you have, until you are cure that It cannot cover the fiqld, before you invest yoti^mone^is a new one.

DEATH IN THE COUNTY. Mr. Daniel Peeler P>*M*eH Aieny ut the Home of HU Sinter. On Tuesday night last Mr. Daniel M. Peeler died at the home of a sis ter, with whom he was living, near Wilkinsville, in lower Cherokee. Mr. Peeler was about sixty-five years of age ftnd had been sick only about ten days. He was a gallant soldier in the Confederate army, and in peace, as in war, his life was ex emplary and he never failed to follow the mandates of truth, right and duty. Mr. Peeler was never married, but made his home with an only sister; and it was there that he received his last order and went into bivouac for eternity’s night. Besides the sister with whom he made his home, three brothers survive him. The remains were interred in the Patrick burying ground about two miles from Wilkinsville, where a large crowd of relatives and friends had gathered to pay their last re spects to the one whom they had known and admired in life. The Ledger begs to extend its sym pathy to the bereaved sisters and brothers. A PAINFUL ACCIDENT. Little Son of Mr. Ed. TIioiiimkhom llrcttkx HU Arm While PUyinf'. One of the little sons of Mr. Ed Thomasson, agent of the S. C. A G. E. depot, had the misfortune to break bis left arm Tuesday. The little fellow was running and capering around in the exhuberance of his youthful spirits when in at tempting to jump across a ditch, his foot slipped and he fell in the ditch, with the result that his left arm was broken just above the wrist. Doctors Jefferies and Littlejohn were hastily summoned and they reset the broken bone and relieved the boys suffering*.muchngs oiihe under tlio circumstances. He was resting well yesterday, and we hope that the broken parts will soon knit together and that the little fellow may soon regain the use of his arm. The County Summer School. The summer school for the teachers of Cherokee county opened hero Mon day in the Graded school building. There are about twenty-five or thirty teachers in attendance, we learn, but many more will probably come in later on. Prof. W. G. Blake, of Spartanburg, came over Monday to assist County Superintendent of Education W\ F. McArthur in the work, and together they will make the sessison interest ing and profitable to all who may attend. Jicautlfylng HU Lot. Dr. J. H.
