Schley Will «o Down in His tirave a* H
Nohle Hero, an Brave aft the Bravest—It
Is Not What. One Gets Credit for. But ft
Is What He Dot s.
(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Blacksiurg, Jan, 20.—When one
istbiiikdng more of the hoiling of his
pants (ban of what he is sajifg in
his prayers it seems that thtre is
sometning wrong. W e do not mean
to say anything against Admiral
Sampson—if we were too it would not
amount to a hill of beans—but it
seems th.'t r he took the most of the
money ana -all the honor that be
could get without “soiling his pants”
very muon in the f'au.iagu battle.
Sampson is gvtting o.d and childish
anu for some time there i as bs.cn taik
of his mind being over-tuxed. Well,
if is over taxed what caused it? W as
it the excitement of the buttle or the
excitement of the facts that has
since come to iignt, or was it caused
by something else unknown to tne
world? “There is honor enough for
all.” says Schley. There is honor
enough for ail if distributed equal to
all according to service rendered. But
Schley should not have taken any
steps for the purpose of exposing the
facts of the Santiago campaign aud
the preservation of his good name.
He will go down to his grave as a
noble hero, as brave as the bravest,
but we think he took u step in the
wrong direction when he decided to
have the case investigated. It is not
what one gets credit for, but it is
what one does that makes his con
science clear.
We began this article with the in
tention of giving our views—or part
of Cbem-about the above uamed case,
but Uncle Bill has been talking about
it considerably here of late and, as
agree with him in some resnects, we
we will give what he has to say

Asbi ry, 8. 0., Feb. 1 —The con
sideration of the present age is to
lourn how and why farm agriculture
has come to emphatically mean more
than the growing of mere vegetable
products from the soil. In its modern
meaning if now inc.uots the produc
tion of meat, beef, pork and mutton,
of wool, of dairy prcduc ions, milk
butter and cheese and of a better
class of live stock than bus formerly
b‘-eri known. The farm is the raw
material from which is to come the
food and clotningof all mankind.
The country boy rises early, he is
acquainted with and interested in all
the stock and poultry; he knows ail
the country round ; he is acquainted
with every bug and worm, bird and
animal, tree and liowi r, weed and
cereal on the farm ; he has a good ap
petite and good digestion and his
sleep is sweet and refreshing; he
reads thoughtfully the great book of
nature, whose leaves open before him
day by day; he iovt-s ms father and
mother, and he loves his sweetheart
as no town boy does and is loved in
turn by her as no town boy is; he
works hard all day and when night
comes he enjoys a healthful rest and
then lies down to peaceful dreams;
He grows to man’s estate with the
rich heritage of good health, a clean,
pure character, industrial habits, a
mind well stored with practical
knowledge gained by the fireside ar.d
in the country lyceum, affectionate
and trusting in bis disposition, polite
and courteous though, perhaps, some
what awkward in his manners, and in
every way well equipped for the bat
tle of life. He knows nothing of the
follies and vices, the mockery and
hollowness seen in city life; he is a
grown up man and the chief places In
business in the city and in the nation
come into his possession, he has the
stuff in him that qualifies bira under
guidance for eminent statesmanship,
for military renown, for professional
success, for judicial distinction, for
the grandest men of the nation have
been and the grandest men of the fu
ture will be found among the country
boys of our land. He may at times
think his country home plain and un
attractive, his life one of drudgery
and humdrum, and may at times
envy thd town boy and his more ex
citing life and opportunities, but let
him not worry, he has a far richer
heritage and the future will be a sat
isfactory revelation to him. God
bless the country boy, he is the hope
of the nation.

A Petition for a Primary.
The following was handed us yes

lish :
Static of South i'ahomna, i
COUNTY OK CHKROKKK. (
We, the undersigned, bellevlnp that in the
election of Mayor and Aldermen for Gaffney,
a majority vote should decide who shall be
our officers, and believlnp that a primary
election is the best and most democratic plan
for obtain'rip such results. We hereby re
quest all voters to assemble at the Court
House Tuesday evening, Fob, 11th. at elpht
o’clock, to discuss the matter, and to formul
ate plans for holding such primaries In each
of the several wards of the town of Gaffney.
Signed by a number of citizens.
There seems to be an impression
that the above is intended as a
scheme in favor of some of the can
didates. We do not see how it could
be so considered. It’s purport is
plainly expressed, and means nothing
less, than that the successful can
didates in the election should receive
a majority of the votes oast, which is
democratic and is the method by
which all county, state and national
officers and representatives are
chosen. It is true that some one
candidate will be benefitted, but lo
that event the wishes of a majority
of the voters will have been expressed.

Etta Jane, Feb. 8 —We find the
mails crowded with circulars and
papers containing various ade. in line
with the cherry tree scheme, and
which are calculated to decoy the
unwary and rob them of their honest
earnings Common sense should sug
gest to any one that the day of some

guarantee that you are on the losing
side. The best wary to avoid danger
is not to get in its way.

of officers for the ensuing year. The

for the veterans, and will no doubt
be glad to assist them in thoroughly

that they expect them to grow up as
intelligent, useful citizens without
ever having the polishing touch of
the schoolroom applied to their
minds and characters when both of
these are sadly neglected in the home.
