Young men, buy some land as soon
as you can. It will never be cheaper
in your generation than it is now.
So buy land and accept the profit in
the investment that the general uo-
ward tendencey of everything in the
State is sure to secure to all owners
of real estate. Do not wait till prices
place it out of your power to own a
home. Buy now and thereby attach
yourself the closer to your county
and her every interest, and become
one of her upbuilders.
A railway collision that was horri
ble in its consequences, twenty per
sons being killed and about fifty more
or less injured, took place Tuesday
on the Central Railroad of New Jer
sey, and one equally as disastrous
occurred the following day on the
Southern Pacific. The first named
is a four-track railway, equipped with
the most modern devices that man’s
ingenuity has yet been able to con
ceive. It is impossible to avert such
calamities and in this day of rapid
transit the wonder is that such acci
dents are not more frequent. And
yet when we come to think of it the
fact stares us in the face that travel
ing on the railway or steamship is
about the safest way to travel; but
we would hail with delight some
method that would make this kind
of traveling safer than it is at
present.
Wednesday morning subscription
lists to raise a monument to the
murdered editor of the Columbia
State, Mr. N. G. Gonzales, were
opened in the banks of Columbia.
Our thousand dollars was subscribtu
before the banks closed. All the
banks in Columbia are authorized to
receive subscriptions. This is a
cause that shoulfi appeal to every
patriotic soul in South Carolina and
contributions should be so liberal
that the monument itself will stand
as a towering rebuke to the cowardly
assassin. Let Gaffney have a place
on the roll of honor. The Ledger
will forward any subscriptions intrust
ed to its care. Already we have $7
for that purpose. Any others desir
ing to contribute can inform us. We
suggest that all contributions from
Gaffney be donated as coming from
Gaffney and not from individuals.
A Washington Special of the the
26th, to New York Sun says:
“At a mass-meeting of negroes to
night, under the auspices of the
Africo-American League, resolutions
were adopted heartily endorsing the
course of President Roosevelt in the
appointment of negroes to offices, and
a number of speakers, among them
some of the most prominent colored
men in the Southern States, preached
a doctrine impregnated with anarch
istic sentiments, and threatened that
unless in the South there was early
change in the treatment of the negro
office-holders and the colored race
generally the blacks would resort to
the torch and the sword and lay it
waste.”
If these “prominent” colored men
have as much common sense as those
whom they have left behind to plow
and hoe and reap and by other voca
tions add to the development of
their country, while they stand at
the slop-trough of the public treas
ury, they will give up the foolish
ideas expressed above. It is a cer
tain fact that the moment they begin
to “resort to the torch and the sword
and lay waste” the colored
graveyards will begin to grow very
rapidly The best friends the
negro overbad are the white'men
and women of the Bouth and today
we think more of them than do any
other people on earth. It will be an
evil day for the colored people
when they give ear to any such in
flammatory utterances. And if the*
time sbonld ever come—we do not
anticipate it—the hot-headed fools
who engender hatred by tbir unwise
counsel should be the first to suffer.

The Ledger is essentially the
mouth-Diece of Cherokee county and
it invitee the co-operation of every citi*
zen in the county to the end that it
may let the world know, so far as
lies within its power, of the progress
of its people and enterprises. The
‘[citizen who from personal prejudices
deolires to aid In this work is not
doing his whole duty. This paper,
like all other papers, may make mis
takes, but it is the aim of its pub
lisher to advocate such measures as
may redound to the glory of the
entire people. No man, or faction,
has, nor pever will have so long as it
remains under its present manage
ment, control of its policy. We do
not desire to convey the impression
that we are impertinent, because we
do not mean to be, but we like it
under-tood that we are independent
and fr ^e, running a business on pure
ly business principles, giving the
best value for $1 00 of any newspaper
in the State and depending absolutely
upon the manhood and womanhood
of the county for support. Its editor
is free t.nd untramelled, says what he
believe- to be right and proper, but
whenever in doubt Bc-eks advice and
either accepts or rejects it, just as he
sees lit, but always follows what he
believes to be right regardless of
whom it may please or displease. If
you want'a newspaper that has con
victions and dares express them you
need go no further. If you want a
boot-lick.ng, Jtime-servirg organ or
mouth piece of petty politicians then
go elsewhere. Now is the time to
-subscribe, only $1.00 a year, cash in
dvanco, and your money back at
any time you may become dissatis
fied.
This, from the'Charlotte Observer,
i characteristic of the gentleman
Lora Iredell:
“The bloodhound fad has been as-
c rndant in North Carolina for about
fi .'G years nov, and those with recep
tive minds, who have followed the
publications about these beasts in
connection with crime, roust have
found them very- funny. All stories
of secret assault, mysterious murder,
robbery and safe-breaking conclude
w th the words: # ‘bloodhounds have
bt m sent for.’ The sequel published
n; xt day, reads like this : ‘Owing to
ra n last, night [or the ground being
frozen, or the trail being too cold, or
to< many people having tramped
art uod the scene of the crime, or
so! letning] the bloodhounds were un-
abij to track the criminal.’ The
trouh is, that after having been put
on ;he track, the bloodhounds lifted
their eyes to the eky, howled a tew
times and fhpn'rmt off after a rabbit
or i ’sparest cabin in the
:>u m would give them
a p 2>:e ot pone. ‘Bloodhounds have
been sent for!’ Just as well send for
terrapins.”
V me ! Oh what memories the word
conuresup! We can see old Loud
and Ringtail and Tray and Pete out
in V ic backyard gulping down pone.
We iee the old oven sitting in the
corner of the old-iime fireplace with
its jot hooks. It’s supper time and
the id is lifted from the oven and
the smoking pone is lifted therefrom
and placed upon the table. Out from
the nilk house down at the spring
come a j'>r of fresh buttermilk and a
cake of butter. My! my! but it was
good! We wonder how long it has
been since the editor of the Observer
ate pone? In this day of adulterated
flour they don’t make pone. They
say those were nard times, but
more’s the pity we don’t have more
pone.

WEEDS
Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it’s
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes im
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott’s Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump
tion is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won’t.
Don’t wait until you can’t
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take Scott’s Emulsion. If
it isn’t really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and he better for the
treatment. If it is consump
tion you can’t expect to he
cured at once, hut if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
Scott’s Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that’s the treatment and
that’s the best treatment.
We will send you
a little of the Emul
sion free.
I’.e sure that this picture in
the form of a label is on the
wrapj>er of every bottle of
Emulsion you buy.
