NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Commoner Brykn is becoming so
common that he is failing to attract
attention in Tennessee. He had only
177 people to go to hear him lecture
in one of the towns of that State re
cently.

The “main guy” of the establish
ment leaves today for Georgetown to
attend the annual meeting of the
South Carolina Press Association.
During his absence the pugilistic edi
tor will be iu charge and those hav
ing differences to settle with the pa
per will please call while be is away.
They are assured of a warm and
hearty welcome.

“A Veteran,” in another column,
offers a good suggestion as regards
the selection of Capt. H. P. Griffith,
of this city, to succeed Gen. Carwile.
The Ledger knows of no one in South
Carolina who would bear the honor
more fittingly. A man of noble in
stinct, heroic courage and knightly
chivalry, be would fill the position
with honor to himself and bis heroic
comrades.

We are in receipt of a communica
tion from Cow pens which bears no
signatnre. People who write com
munications to the newspapers should
remember that no well regulated es
tablishment will publish a communi
cation unless it is accompanied by
the name of the writer. The news
paper does not require the name for
publication but for identification, so
when you write for the press sign
your name, else your letter goes to
the waste basket.

The tornado that visited Ravenna,
Jonesville and Union last Sabbath
was uncomfortably close to Gaffney.
We escaped it by a hair’s breadth as
it were. Much anxiety was felt here
. for the safety of relatives and friends
in the stricken district and all day
long yesterday this office was visited
by people inquiring for the latest par
ticulars as to the number and names
of those who met death or were in
jured. Our sympathies go out to the
grief-stricken ones and grateful
hearts offer thanks that this com
munity escaped.

This week ends tbeCharleston Expo
sition and the show was a pronounced
success in every way except finan
cially. There can be but little doubt
but that the promoters are woefully
“in the bole” from a monetary stand
point, but they have succeeded in ad
vertising Charleston, South Carolina,
and the South at large, and, being
public-spirited men, there is some
consolation in the fact that, looking
at the matter from a broad view, they
have benefitted the country even if
they have lost money.
The Union service on Sunday night
at the Presbyterian church was con
ducted by Rev A. C. Cree. Mr. Cree,
while expressing an abiding faith in
his own convictions, extends to every
other person the right to connect
himself with any evangelical organi
zation whose doctrine meets his
views. His sermon was a splendid
effort, and. in view of th* extreme
narrow-mindedness of some people,
it is really refreshing to listen to
such a discourse, and we hope that
when Brother Cree preaches another
such sermon that he will give due no
tice so that the public in general may
do themselves the pleasure of being
present.

Commencement at Colored (ifaded School.
The closing exercises of the Gaff
ney Graded School No. 3. (colored)
of this city, which took place last
Thursday aod Friday nights were of
unusual interest. The large audien
ces who attended the exercises both
nights were highly pleased with what
they heard aod saw.
Among the distinguished visitors
who spoke words of cheer andeocour-
agemeot to the audience, and com
mended the work of Rev. R C. Camp-
belle and his efficient corps of teach
ers were: Prof. R. O Sams, super
intendent of Gaffoey graded school;
Mayor J. Q Little and Dr. J. N.
Nesbit and Rev. Amos Clary, of the
city, and Miss Abbie Faot, of Union
Revs. D. S. Collier and £. L. Beaty
were also present aod pronounced the
exercises a credit to their race.
Gaffney Still Advancing.
Postmaster Folger informs ns that
after the first of July Gaffney will be
an international money order office.
This will be quite a convenience for
the people of this section who may
have occasion to send remittances to
any of the foreign countries.
What next for Gaffney?
A Remarkable Sentence.
The Latin sentence, “Bator arepo ten
et opera rotas," which is. it must be
admitted, pretty bad Latin, is a curios
ity nevertheless. It can be freely trans
lated as “I cease from my work; the
sower will wear away bis wheels.’’ Its
hue oddities are these:
it spells the same backward as for
ward.
The first letter of each word spells
the first word.
Tbe same may be said of the second,
third, fourth and fifth letters.
The last letters, read backward, spell
the first word, the next to the last the
second word, and so on throughout.
There are just as many letters in
each word as there are words in the
sentence.
Books With Lcnvcc I'ncnt.
A book the leaves of which are un
cut possesses no value of an intrinsic
character beyond one that is cut. but
really less. For that matter, if it is to
remain uncut it is as valueless as
it is useless. There are book col
lectors. however, who place a premium
upon books with uncut leaves and so
commend th«#io in their advertisements
and circulars. There are persons who
loud certain shelves in their libraries
with uncut books. Of course they are
not for use and are not used and are
valueless except for keeping.
The Eternal Feminine.
Bride of u Day (aboard train)—Dc
stop talking a little while, dear.
Tbe Other Half (tenderly)—Why,
darling, are you tired of me so soon?
Bride of a Day—No, dearest but I
am curious to hear what those two'wo-
men behind us are saying.—Chicago

Balancing.
The famous equilibrist was balancing
four billiard bolls or a cue. much to
the amazement of tbe vaudeville audi
ence.

Five per cent, bonds to the extent |

of riding on a good road, to say noth

The Democrats have a fine chance
to get in the saddle in 1904. With
the beef trust daily reminding the
people of the iniquitous trust legisla
tion, the unjust tariff taxation, and
the unholy warfare being carried on
in the Philippines, all of which can
be laid at the door of a Republican
congress, all the Democrats have got
to do is to sit steady in tbe boat and
paddle your their canoe. This they
can do by dropping dead issues and
ceasing to quarrel among themselves.
But so long as they keep harping on
Billy Bryan, Benny Tillman, Arkan
sas and free silver, just so loug will
tbe Rough Rider Republican ride
rough-shod over the people. It’s time
we were learning something.

who was chosen for the purpose wailed
into the sea up to his middle and pour

called Shony to favor tbe people
through the coming year. The people,
after seeing the ceremony performed,
returned to the church and then went
to the fields to spend the rest of the
night in revelry.—London Standard.

Storm Struck the Town With Great
Force, Razing Buildings and Uproot
ing Trees—Incalculable Damage Has
Been Done to Crops In Its Patht.
Union. S. C., May 26.—This place
was visited yesterday afternoon at 4
o’clock by a terrible tornado.
The storm came from the north and
it seems there was also one from the
southwest, meeting in this vicinity.
It played havoc, four deaths and
considerable loss of property being the
result.
The storm from the north was pre
ceded by a heavy rain and what ap
peared to be a dark mass about 100
yards wide. It traveled with great
speed and people barely had time to
get indoors before the storm struck
the town. The wing of the storm
passed along Main street and blew
several store doors open, doing more
or less dcpnage.
Knitting Mill hill, south of the town,
caught the full force of the tornado,
which blew down the schoolhouse and
two residences, converting them lit
erally into kindling wood. The occu
pants flew from one of the houses be-
'fore it went to pieces and took refuge
in another near by, but this house was
also crushed to splinters.
In this house Misses Sallie Hart and
Annie Lawson were instantly killed.
Mrs. Maxey Sims died in an hour,
and her little daughter, Vera, died
about 9 o’clock.
Five other persons were injured, one
of them probably fatally.
Dozens of large trees were blown
down and many orchards utterly ruin
ed.
Reports are coming in that more
than a dozen farmhouses between
Union and Jonesville and Santus were
destroyed; also a number of houses at
Santuc, including a large ginnery and
machine shop.
It Is impossible to estimate the
damage at present, but it will reach
manv thousand dollar*.
Ravenna, May 26—Special to The
Ledger. There was a fearful storm
near Pacoiet Mills yesterday evening
about three o’clock.
I learn this morning there were
eight bouse* blown down on Mr.
Winfield Brown’s place, includ.ng
hi* large barn. The top of one of bis
chimney* was also blown off. Tbe
bouse in which one of bia son* lived
wan completely wrecked and young
Brown's wife bad an arm and her col
lar bone broken. Mrs. James Brown
was also painfully hurt. Tbe shade
and fruit trees about tbe premises
were almost totally destroyed. A
colored woman is reported to have
been blown a hundred yards and was
found but slightly injured. Others
report there were four negroes killed
near Pacoiet station. I learn Mr.
Brown says be is damaged at least
$500. * roc.
Union, May 25.—This place was
visited this afternoon at 4 o’clock by
a terrible tornado. Tbe storm came
from tbe north and it seems there
was also one from the eouthwest,
meeting in this vicinity. It played
havoc, four deaths and cous derable
loss of property being the result.
Tbe atorm from tbe north was pre
ceded by a heavy rain and wbat
appeared to be a dark mass about
100 yards wide. It traveled with
great speed and people barely bad
time to get in doors before tbe storm
was upon tbe town. A wing of the
storm passed along Main street and
blew several store doors open, doing
more or less damage.
Knitting Mill Hill, south of town,
caught tbe full force of tbe tornado,
which blew down tbe school house
and two residences, converting them
literally into kindling wood. Tbe
occupants flew from one of tbe houses
before it went to pieces and took re
fuge in another near by, but this
bouse was also crushed to apiinters
Id this bouse Misses Sallie Hart and
Annie Lawson ware instantly killed,
Mrs. Maxey Sims died in an hour and
little daughter, Vera, died about 9
o’clock. Maxey Sims escaped with
a broken finger. Lee Sims received
two bad cuts on tbe band from fall
ing timbers and was Internally in
jured. Mr. Mabry suatained a frac
tured shoulder, bis leg was badly
burned by a stove falling on him and
he was internally injured. His case
may prove fatal.
Mrs. Lee Sims received a bad, but
oot fatal, cut oo tbe bead. Mrs
Mabry and her two other children
escaped with slight injurieb. It took
some time to get the victims from
tbe debries. Every physician in
town was soon upon the scene, also
President Nichols and Manager Gault,
of tbe Excelsior Knitting Mills, and
willing hands assisted in relieving
tbe eufferers as much as possible.
Tbe news spread rapidly and tbe bill
wae soon full of people from town,
anxious to render every assistance
possible. Everything that the
families had was destroyed.
Jonesville reports in a telegram to
Miss Lawson, tbe lady wbo was
<Uled, that tbe storm was fearful at
that point and that one of her family
had been killed there. Miss Lawson
was dead when the telegram arrived.
The property damage will aggregate
about $20 000, divided among a
lumber of stores and residences and
:otton mills.

Life eonsisis in a series of changes of
tissue, and the human economy is sim
ply. so far as its material part is con
cerned, a machine and primarily de
pends on food as the most important
factor in keeping it in working order.
lVh«‘ii it is said that we commence to
die as soon as we are horn, it of course
means that certain parts of the body
immediately begin to perish; their ex
istence is ephemeral; they come and
go. are replenished and decay. They
are the dying parts of that system of
life which tyay last a little while, but
which must eventually yield to the In
exorable law of nature. Tbe nails. the\
hair. etc., are observable as an instance’
of this decay. Tbe same rule applies
to every otiier organ and tissue of the
body, though it is not palpable to the
naked eye. The skin is always peeling.
The food that is taken in the one hour
nourishes the system and ejects that
which was taken the hour before.
, How Bird* Migrate.
Many of the smaller and weaker
birds, like the fly catchers, vireos.
wrens, kinglets and bluebirds, in order
to avoid their enemies, the hawks,
make their long flights by nigbL stop
ping for rest and food in the daytime.
The larger and bolder ones, like the
hawks and crows, and those of ex
tremely rapid flight, like the swallows
and humming birds, migrate fearlessly
by day. and there are some, like the
Canada geese, which travel just when
they choose, by day or night. Migrat
ing birds usually fly at a height of
from one to three miles, and this ena
bles them to see the rivers, the moun
tain ranges and the coast line. By
these they direct their course, the old
birds remembering the way they came
before mid the young ones following.—
Woman's Home Companion.
Peculiar Table Caatom*.
In a Look entitled "Domestic Man
ners of the Middle Ages” we are told
that In those days dinner tables were
covered by a “nappe.” or tablecloth.
Upon it were placed a large saltcellar,
bread and cups for wine, but no knives
or plates. The reason for the absence
of the knives arose from the common
practice in vogue of people carrying
their own knives iu a sheath attached
to their girdle.
In an early work, written by Lyd
gate—“Rules For Behavior at Table”—
the guests are told to bring no knives
unsecured to tbe table, which can only
mean that each one was to keep bis
own knife—that Is, tbe one be carried
witb bim—clean.
Notlfvlaic tbe God.
One of the odd things the visitor to
Burma will notice is the large nuinbet
of hells about the pagodas. These bells
are usually hung on sacred posts a few
feet above the ground.
They are sweet toned, as all Burmese
bells are. hut they are not furnished
witb tongues. The worshiper who
comes to pray before the pagoda
strikes one of these bells witb a wood
en mallet This is to attract the atten
tion of the god.
Surprising Statement*.
One account of an accident to a royal,
motor car near Arriccia announce* that
“fortunately a number of pheasants
were working close by. and witb their
help the motor car was righted.” This-
surprising statement is only tbe re
verse of the traditional printer's error
by wbich “Lord X. was stated to bav*
gone out witb a party of fiends to sboot
