THK t*OOK not 8K. When Will Carleton sang “Over the Hills to the Poor House” he touched a tender chord in the hu man heart because he stirred the pathos of cruel fortune, portrayed the darkness of life’s reverses, and drew a vivid, moving picture of the pangs and humiliation iniiicted by base ingratitude. No one can be ri^ht sure that the sentiment of the song may not sometime apply to him. Fortune is fickle alike in her favors and her cruelties. She is blind to * principles of justice, utterly regard less of consistency, and dead to the emotions of gratitude. Under her capricious favors men rise to wealth and honor and power, and look down with a pitying contempt upon the struggling throng that are fighting the battle for bread—that are strain ing the powers of life, taxing the en durance of brain and muscle, and displaying, it may be, the sublimest heroism in a contest that is hopeless and yet can never cease until peace is found in the darkness and silence of the grave. But not absolutely sure can the pampered favorites ever be of the faithfulness of their Mistress. No heartless coquette who had ensnared a poor deluded lover ever turned her back upon him more coldly and cruelly than this same mistress sometimes turns hers upon her votaries, just at the time, too, when their blind confidence has inflamed them with pride and bloated them with vanity. She smites with her left hand what her right hand has shaped and fashioned, and the blows fall thick and fast; calamity follows calamity in quick and sharp suc cession until at last all is wrecked, and pride, and pomp, and power lie prostrate in the dust. It is frequent ly but a short, quick journey from the glittering heights of opulence “Over the Hills to the Poor House.” We wish that the name of the poor house were deprived of its sr to inflict mental anguish and humiliation upon the deserving poor. Many of these who do not hesitate to accept the private aid of friends, with profound appreciation and gratitude, are pained and humil iated beyond measure at the thought of taking up their abode at the poor house. This ought not to be the case. The name should carry no pang to the helpless poor as really it implies no reproach to their character for honesty and integrity. It is the most equitable arrangement that can be made by a benevolent govern ment for the care of those who have become, from .wbateuer cause, a tax upon private charity. It is better for the people at large. Private chsrity cannot be depended upon for regular and sustained operation. It fluctuates with the impulses, moods, and emotions of men and women. And then in a case where all are equally bound to contribute, the burden falls only upon a few of the most thoughtful, sympathetic and benevolent. This is ail obviated by making the care of the poor the duty of the county. All are compelled to contribute according to their means and the amount is felt by none. It is somewhat surprising that a mere name should carry such weight. Juliet bad seen little of the world when she declared that the rose by any other name would smell as sweet. A few months ago a newpaper cor respondent from Laurens announced that a Confederate soldier in that county had been sent to the poor bouse. The announcement produced a sensation throughout the State and at once created a sentiment in favor of a Soldier’s Home. This sentiment took shape during the re union of the State Division of veter ans in Columbia and strong resolu* tions were passed almost unanimousr iy urging the legislature to establish such a home. The veteran’^ feelings revolt at the Idea of the poor bouse, and yet he favors the Soldier’s Home. There is no difference between the two except in name, and except that the one is established and supported by the county, and the other by the State. Tho objects of both are Identical, the taking care of those who are not able to taka care of themeclvea. The name, however, ni “The Soldier’s Home” carriea with it the idea of rest after an arduous and honorable career, while that of the “Poor House” suggests only poverty and degradation. Let the name of the latter he changed to one that has f wouii resources, aul^^remingl; powers of earth were against him and he went down only because human valor has its limits of endurance and accomplishment. Peace has its he roes as well as war. And in the humble walks of peace there are those who have fought the long bat tle of life with a faithfulness, per sistency, and heroism worthy of the Confederate soldier in his days of glory, and they have gone down like the soldier went, because the odds were overwhelmingly against them. They, too, are entitled to the Chris tian regard and tender consideration of their fellow countrymen. NOTKS AND COMMKNTS. England must negotiate another war loan. Her war against the Boers is costing her over seven millions of dollars a week, and her available funds will be exhausted before Octo ber. Arrogance, rapacity, and greed sometimes come high. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Scarcely has the great steel trust been formed which is to control the steel out-put of the world, when a strike begins to be organize 1 which promises to be coextensive with the trust.

Once again we ask our readers, both in the city and in the county, to send us any news item or items of which they may happen to be cogni zant. It would not be very much trouble for our friends in the city to ’phone us of a friend’s visit to them or of any other visitors whom they know to be in the city. Not only personal items, but any local hap penings which may come under their observation, would be gratefully re ceived and highly appreciated by us. Our friends in the county could easily drop us a postal card and in form us of Interesting events which may transpire in their immediate vi cinity. As we have said before, one or two men cannot possibly learn of all the visitors and local happenings in a town of Gaffney’s size, especially when there are a thousand and one other matters for these same men to look after, and as it is our desire to publish in our local columns every thing of interest that transpires in the city, and in the county as well, we earnestly ask that our friends ac quaint us with any happenings of local interest that may como under their persanal observation. Merely give us notes or particulars and we will do the rest. Huffulo reople InUIgMaut. Buffalo, July S.—Mr. Editor: Since the treasurer’s report quite a number of people around here are indignant at the way the public school money has been squandered. In my article some time ago regard ing the management of the school, it appeared in print that “Not one of the trustees has been pleased with it.” when it should have been, “Even one of the trustees has not been pleased with it.” Since then I have learned that all the trustees ex cept the one who assumes to run things his own way, have not been pleased with it. I am sorry that the mistake occurred and placed the whole blame oo the shoulders of Mr. McArthur, and I am sorry that Mr. McArthur has allowed himself to be blindfolded to the best interest of the people of Buffalo. He was wide awake when be was ftrstelected when he said the people of Buffalo had no backbone for allowing one man to rule the whole school. Since then things have grown from “bad to worse” and the people can’t help themselves. Will Mr. McArthur kindly come to these poor people, who, in his judgment, have cotton strings run up their backs? Respectfully, W. P. Tolhekt. Mr. Hotter Meenia Pleaaad. Jn the current issue of the South ern Presbyterian, published at Clin ton, in this State, Rev. W. R Potter, the new pastor of the Limestone Presbyterian church Id this olty, writes as follows: “Our reception in Gaffney has been delightful. This is a kind and cordial people. Their glftsaand favors have been many already, though we have been with them but three weeks. The outlook for the church is hope ful and every prospect pleasing.” The Ledger knows It but voices the B«Ltiwent of Mr. Potter’s entire con gregation when It says that they are just as delighted with him as he pos sibly can be with them. True, he cams to them a perfect stranger, ffmj lias been here hut a few weeks, yet he has already won their entire affeo tion. rat. Bills of lad- ents. Bonds of k is not otherwise s.

While away he waa not altogether engaged |n preaching for he went crab bunting, fishing, serf bathing, etc., at intervails. The Cambridge papers gave Mr. Ford some very com plimentary notices concerning his preaching, all of which were richly deserved. Kxamiimtlon for gcholurahlp.

Cherokee Drug Co. colored, was tried for us language and riding reckl^ the streets—he, evidently, li forgotten that the “Glorious Fourtl? was over. Jim was called upon to give his version of the profanity slinging and reckless riding, and af ter a thorough investigation by Mayor Littlejohn he was given his choice of forking over five “friends” in Uncle Sam’s currency or do some reckless work on the highways (and low-wayp) of the city for the short space of fifteen calendar days. Jim very considerately paid the five and thus released the city authorities from any further responsibility on his account. The next sinner at the altar was Anna Littlejohn, a dingy-hued fe male who had so far forgotten her sex as to utter a few blue-streaked and brimstone-flavored expressions of unknown origin. She made a con fession of her guilt, and in considera tion of that fact she was forgiven under a penalty of two-fifty or ten days on the streets. She paid the two-fifty and went on her way. One Hilliard Johnson was next on docket wuh the charge of disorderly conduct agaiust him. ' He plead guilty, aud after the testimony of four witnesses was taken Johnson was condemned to the tune of seven- fifty or twenty-five days on the gang. Yesterday Clint Robbs, colored, was before the mayor with the charge of drunk and disorderly staring him in the face. Clint got on a lone jag Saturday afternoon and very soon suc ceeded in having two police officers escort him to the lockup. He plead guilty, as he could not well do other wise, and was taxed three-fifty or fif teen days for the privilege of getting drunk. He probably took the days. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

The South Carolina and Georgia Extension railroad people have at last succeeded in raising the big en gine that went through Buffalo creek bridge about two months ago, when Engineer Metcalf lost bis life. It was a difficult piece of work and was accomplished by first hoisting the engine out of the water and then building a temporary track on which it was land. The successful raising of the engine from its watery bed removes what was perhaps a perplexing weight from the minds of tbe S. C. & 0. E. authorities at Blacksburg, and they no doubt feel very much relieved. It is said that Superintendent Tripp raised bis bat when tbe job was com pleted- \Vpek N|aht Service*. Mr. Cree asks lis to announce that tbe regular weelt night services will be held as usual this week.

At tbe depot quite au ovation was made in Mr. Wray’s behalf and just before be departed from their midst the crowd very appropriately sang “God be with you till we meet again.” Mr. Wray certainly did a good work in Gaffney and tbe spiritual comfort he administered—tbe divine truths he ut^red will live in the hearts of many of bis hearers long after the lips that breathed them shall have lost their power to move. At the close of the meeting forty- two additions had been made to the church, thirty-four for baptism and the others by letter. Sunday night the ordinance of baptism was ad ministered to sixteen of the converts. There was no preaching at the First Baptist Sunday morning on account of Mr. Cree, the pastor, being unable to attend on account of sickness. Short talks were made at the morning services by Prof. Sams, Mr N. Lipscomb, Mr. Willie Wilkins, Dr. Crawley and Rev. W. T.* Thomp son—their talks being mostly echoes from tne revival. On Sunday night Mr. Cree was able to attei.d the baptismal service and to conduct the introductory services. One of tbe features of the night ser vice was a beautiful solo sweetly ren dered by Miss Lillian Wood. Those who were baptized were: Misses Lillie Jackson, Kate Hamil ton, Winnie Davenport, Beulah Spears, Gertrude Ballenger, Birdie and Pearl Crawley, Mittie Clary, Bertie Phillips, Wilmer Gaffney, Irene Snead and Alie Ross, and Messrs. Joseph Littlejohn, Ed. Hedrick, Claude Lipscomb and Rich ard Jefferies. The others who joined wilt be immersed later on. Mr. Wray's work in Gaffney will be a lasting monument to his mem ory, and the powerful influence he exerted over all who went out to hear him will be felt for many long days to come. He endeared himself to our people, and should he ever come back to our city be would receive a warm welcome. THE BUFFALO SCHOOL. Mr. Tolbert Correct* a Statement In Re gard to It* Management. Buffalo, July 1.—Mr. Editor: I wish to correct one statement in my article of last Friday concerning tbe corrupt management of the Buffalo public school. The eentence reads as follows: “Not one of the trustees has been pleased with it. It should have been. “Even one of the trustees has not been pleased with it. He claims that ho is not consulted very much about the way things are run and, therefore has but little voice in tbe matter. I will say to his credit that be doesn’t approve of so much extravagance. There is another trus tee, a Jgood hearted fellow, and it seems good for nothing too, who has very flexible backbone, and it is al most universally recognized by the people of Buffalo that the trustee who assumes to “boss” uses him as a hobby to ride rough shod over the wills of the patrons of the school. Therefore it will be seen that the school is practically controlled by one man. If this “bos*” lived in Hades be would iu all probability try to have a voice iu tbe management of it, and if he was as extravagant with brimstone as he has been with public school funds he would make things warm for tbe inbabitante of that country. May he repent and never go there. W. P. Toi debt.
