SOME DOVTS. Don't make it a habit to borrow your neighbor’s paper. The paper is too cheap to do that. Don’t make it a habit to lend your paper. You might want it some time when it’s away from home. Don’t ask us to credit you. We don’t want to hurt your feelings by refusing. Don’t be a clam, but take you county paper like a good, industrious citizen and keep posted on the hap penings of your section. >OTRS AND COMMENTS. Goto the fourth of July meeting in the mayor’s office this afternoon at 7 o’clock. Those who are working for the success of the celebration will need your aid and auvice and they should have it, because it means the advertising of Gaffney and Cherokee county. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Good roads would do more towards developing Cherokee county than anything else. We could better afford to pay four times the road tax we do and have good highways than to continue in this hum-dum fashion. All the force of the county should be directed to the securing of better roads. m * ♦ ♦ ♦ The lights are out in the Ivory City, the music of the midway has ceased and the Charleston exposition is a thing of the past. Like all expo sitions, it lost money, but it has been very beneficial to Charleston and the South. We sincerely trust congress will come to the rescue of the pro moters and that they will ultimately lose nothing by the venture. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Hon. Mr. Boggs, of Pickens, is a diasy that has bloomed unseen to shed' its fragrance on the desert air so far, but you will do well to keep your eye on him. He’s a speech- maker, and a good one, too, and some of these days you are going to eee him come out from under the shadow of old Table Rock and then peo ple will wake up to the fact that there is a Boggs amongst us. Don’t hide your light unaer a bushel, Mr. Boggs. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The United Mine Workers of America are on a strike in the coal fields of Pennsylvania. As a conse quence, the men with the pick and shovel will take a rest for a few weeks, the price of coal will be ad vanced and the consumer will suffer for the folly of the strikers. Its a pity but the coal barons possessed enough soul to allow tbeir laborers sufficient to keep them from resort ing to such methods to obtain their jestdejerts. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Th«. editor ‘ arrived home from Georgetown last Saturday afternoon, but has been utterly incapacitated for work since bis return. In fact be has not fully recovered from the effects of the cordial reception ten dered the pencil pusbere by the good people of Georgetown. Next Friday we will endeavor to tell Ledger read ers about tbe trip. Until then we must be content to say that tbe edi tors were about as near paradise as they will ever get in this world. Certainly there can be nothing wrong in any man making all tbe money be possibly can, so long as he does it honestly. Successful men are to be commended. But there can be no justice Id robbing the many for the benefit of tbe few. Our republi can friends are making much ado just uow about tbe prosperity of the country, but they would have some- thing to brag about if they would throttle tbe beef trust, lighten the burden of tbe consumer by taking off some of tbe tariff tax and stopping tbe unholy war in the Philippines. But they haven’t got tbe nerve to do it. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The Boers have at last surrendered and the South African war is at an and, while the struggle in the Philip pines goes merrily on, although the once. It may sound unpatriotic hut we have never believed that the Uni ted States had any business fighting in the Philippines or that England had any business in South Africa. As a matter of right both should have got such a licking that they would In the future be generous and magnani mous enough to respect weak nations. In both cases it is too much like a bully over-riding the rights of an In offensive individual. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Tbe annual meeting of tbe State Press Association held in Georgetown last week was one of the moet suc cessful Id tbe history of the associa tion. Tbe attendance was large, the interest great, and we cannot but be lieve that each member returned to his work with a better and larger idea of the importance of his work and a strong determination to exert himself or herself in an effort to improve the opportunities that lie before them. The reception given the press by the Georgetown people was a most flat tering one and all will look back upon the occasion with pleasure. George town is well known for her hospi tality but on this occasion she out did herself. No town that displays such genuine hospitality can stand still and we confidently expect to hear of great things for Georgetown in the no distant future BACHELOR NO CANDIDATE! If« I* Kept Husy Trying to Knn IIIh Own Private AfTalrit. fCorreenondenc*. of The Ledger.) Buffalo, June 2 —The farmers or most of them living along water courses are buying corn. As a gen eral rule they are the most prosperous class of citizens the country affords and are accustomed to laying up rations twelve months ahead, but now they can repeat that portion of the Lord’s prayer which says give us this day our daily bread, and are in a position to sympathize with un fortunate class of people known as God’s poor who have a hard struggle to keep the hungry wolf from prowl ing at their door. A few years ago when the faamers alliance was trying to reform the world it failed to try to reform itself. It showed no mercy to the renter—the poor down-trodden renter. Nobody cares to try to light en his burden. His doom to die in poverty is already sealed. Only a comparatively few will ever escape. Our lawmakers will not dare touch his case. In reply to “Buster” of Limestone I will say that I have no desire what ever to become a candidate for super intendent of education. I am better contented trying to boss my own lit tle private affairs and barely keeping soul and body together than 1 would be by becoming a servant of the peo ple. I know too much about tbe corrupt management of the public school at Buffalo to make the cam paign very pleasant for oue of the aspirants for that office. And besides I have too much sympathy for the toiling masses of the people to please the aristocratic claaaea. If I were superintendent of education I would bust “ring rule and bossism all Into smitherenes.” If all the public schools have been managed like Buff alo has every trustee iu tbe county would loose his scalp or there would be war In tbe camps. I would only bring a storm of indignation down upon my own bead. No! no! Broth er Buster I am no aspirant for an office. I prefer trying a few more games of my old sport of writing love letters though it has oftindea gotten me Into trouble. It is a venturesome piece of business and that is why I like it so well. I have had twenty years experience. I am now prepar ing a letter to a young lady in tbe far off west und will publish it before I send it to her. Bachelor.

The Path of the Public Man I* Hough and Stoney und Reputation* are Not Hullt In a Day.—Uncle Bill and Green** Catechism. Ben Hoorer a "Nothlnglst.” (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Blacksburg, June 2.—There are numbers of men who would make wis/r and conscientious office holders that are charged with belonging to another party in the dim past; con sequently they are defeated in tbe race. This is an injustice to men of firmness, but to men that are soft and two-sided it is the proper way to deal with them. It seems that very often men of high standing in social and religious circles, when they enter politics, stoop to very low and degra ded acts in order to gain higher and wider distinction. Men of this stripe will try to trade their reputation for vain-glory. They learn too late that it takes a life time to gain a reputa tion and but one minute to lose it ‘A drink of whisky for a note” is a long step toward demoralization, and when their reputation and character are both gone they realise that, like Esau of old, they have sold their birthright for a mess of pottage. Another strange thing is the great excitement that sometimes prevails at an election. Different men pick out their choice and go to work for him and \ery often there is blood shed. Nine times out of ten the successful candidate would not turn over his hand to help those individuals if they were iu trouble. In other words they don’t care who sinks just so they swim, after they are seated iu their office. Of course, when they are seeking your note they will kiss you or do any old thing, but when they are elected its ‘ good bye brother.” In a recent article of ours there appeared a paragraph that was rather ambiguous. We meant that the Cubans needed aid but we did not mean that Mr. Roosevelt was our ideal. Lest some one circulate the false report that we have “turned radical,” we hereby announce that we are a “nothingist” in practice and a democrat in principle. Should we ever become a political aspirant we do not intend for it to be truth fully said that we are astride tbe fence and don’t know which way to fall lest we break our Deck. We are all in a tremble for fear that we will go do.vn in history and in a hundred years from uow be known as a deserter and a poltroon. But iu all seriousness, men in public life have a rough and stoney path to travel. It is strange that men will spend thousands and even millions of dollars for a high position and wjrldly honor only to receive more enemies than fr e da Id return. Many noble men are fastly sinking to their grave under a great burden that was caused by only a slight mistake of theirs. “Uncle Bill” has this to say: “Dey say bitch yer wagon to a star. De udder day a good brudder got angry wid me an’ gently pitched me outin de wagon onter my head an’ I sho seen stars But wbedder er not bit ’mounts ter de same thing am a bill dat hain’t yet passed de upper houss of congress.” “Hit am got so dat when a mac dies his children draw a long breath an’ say dat be is better off. Den dey proceed ter hab a lawsuit ober de tbiugs he left behind.” “Some people ain't happy unless dey am unhappy.” If all the men were fools that act one this world would be an asylum. A man may shudder at tbe cry of a rabbit and yet be a murderer. A young writer generally receives an abundance of both praise aud abuse. However, neither oue fills an empty purse. If a man is perfectly satisfied with his past life he is foolish. A preacher that seeks valo-glory at the expense of tbe gospel is a hippo- crite. Tbe following catechism was prepared by Greece and Uucle Bill: ‘ Does tbe coat always make the man?” “No aar. Hit am de abun dance of coats dat makes de mao.” “Can tbe negro manage the mule better than tbe white mau?” “Yes, but the white man manages de Dig ger, am where de misery comes iu ergin.” “Is mathematics your favor ite study?” “No ssh. Ise don’t know him but, Ise mighty well ac quainted wid his bruddt-r Ben an’ de ole man Matties.” “Have you ever learned that you did not know any thing?” “No, Ise iarnt everything but dat. Some how I nebber could ’member it an’ when some good brud der ’mins me ob de fact I goes an’ fergits it ergiu.” Ben Hoover. Good Wheat. T. C. Petty left with us Saturday a dozen or more fine beads of wheat. They will average five inches in length and from three to four grains to the mesh. Mr. Petty says these heads are a fair sample of his crop. This is the first and only good crop of wheat reported to us. It might be well to investigate Mr. Petty’s methods of wheat growing and profit by them. Raltadajr. Salesday for June had no sales and the salesday crowd was absent. Cber- okeeans are at work. COMMENCEMENT AT LIMESTONE COLLEGE Arduous Duties of College Life Laid Aside. A BRILLIANT AFFAIR. Dr. StukHy Preache* a Forceful .Serin jr. Kuuriay -Music by First Baptist Church Choir—Reception to the Alumnae—Ad- dresshy Mr*. Taylor. The commencement exercises of Limestone College are now in pro gress, beginning on Sunday morning with Charles A. Stakeley, D D., L L. D., as the preacher of the baccalau reate sermon. Dr. Stakeley is known as perhaps tbe most forceful and im pressive sermonizer in the whole Southland. His effort at the college was scholarly and profound, yet withal so simple and attractive in presentation, tnat it held the closest and most deeply appreciative atten tion of tbe congregation. It was in truth a most auspicious opening of the commencement exercises. The music of the occassion was furnished by the choir of the First Baptist church of this city under the direc tion of Limestone musical director, Geo. P. Maxim. The Holly City (Gaul) was given in part, with solos hy thu Mr. H. K. Osborne, Mr. Isliam Richardson and Miss Mary E. Wil liams. The music was excellent, worthy alike of tbe distinguished* preacher and the occasion. Sunday night Dr. Stakdey filled the pulpit of the First Baptist church. * The Alumnae Association held their regular business meeting Mon day morning and elected the follow ing officers: Mrs Claik Waring, president; Miss Florence Griffith, recording secretary; Mrs. Edna Har ris, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Alma Turner Paraer, treasurer. Monday night the following pro gramme was rendered before the Alumnae Association und invited guests: 1, (a) Valse Rracieuse - -- -- -- - - Smith (o) Polovaise, A minor ------- Chopin Miss I’AUl.lNE (JWAI.TNEY. 2, (a) Praise of spring i (b) Winter hatli not a blossom ( - - Reneck Miss Maky K. Williams. Miss Ruth Coonkr and Miss Lucy Bakton. After this feast of music, which re ceived rounds of applause, Mrs. Thomas Taylor, of Columbia, was introduced by the President, Mrs. Clark Waring, in a most appropriate and beautiful terms. Mrs. Taylor was received with applause and de livered one of the most appropriate addresses we have heard on any similar occasion. Her manner was easy but forceful and she held the rapt attention of the alumnae and visitors throughout. The address was followed by another feast of music. Adante and Sherzettino op. 59. Chaminade, Miss Annie Edwards and Mr. Geo. Pratt Maxim. The Alumnae Association and friends repaired to the spacious dining ball of the college where light refreshments were served. Then came oue ol tbe most enjoy able features of the evening—an after dinner speech by Miss Besraon, of Alendale, of the class of 1S93 Her address was strong in all its part, full of sound reasoning, and was beautifully interspersed with wit, mirth and pathos. Today will be class day. A beauti ful programme has been arranged. Why? Why have a vacant house on your hands when a Ledger for rent ad. will rent It? Why let your unused rooms remain empty when a Ledger to lee ad. will fill them? Why want for more boarders when a Ledger want ad. will get them? Why do without a desirable board ing place when a Ledger want ad. will find one? Why want a pleasant room when a Ledger want ad. will secure one? Why keep property you do not want or need when a Ledger for sale ad. will sell it? In other words, let your wants be known through Tbe Ledger at oue cent a word and they will he satisfied. i * If anybody has a message for 4 4 the people of this community he cannot deliver it to them so effectually, so cheaply, so quick* .ly in any other way as through + the columns of this paper.
