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

wretched, and helpless of all; *

ur esteemed neighbor, the 8par-
burg Journal, who keeps much
ter informed on public affairs
we do, ans.vers our questions in
ard to the two teachers sent from
this State to the Philippines. 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. No amount of talent nor
of jnsir*j r dilr-Ttigifa :vv -paper
'Uriah where it is not needed, or
#We tne field is over-crowded, and
a man bad just as well pour money
into a rat hole as to invest it in a
newspaper at such a place. 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

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

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.
