■ r;w v .. The JUki>oeh. PUBLISHED TUESDAY AND FRIDAY. RY Ed. H. DkCamp. NOTES AND COMMENTS. The Ledger noted some weetcs ago that some New York parties had se* cured the immense iron beds on the estate of the late Col. John L. Black and that they would work them. These men meant business from the start and a few days ago put a force of men to woik digging ore. Of course we do not know their plans but judging from the immense quan tity and value of their ore we look for their incipient work to grow into one of the most important industrial enterorises in the state. * ♦ ♦ ♦ Down with the distilleries in Chero kee county. They exercise an in fluence for evil that all the gospel and good moral influence of a com munity cannot successfully cope with. The men who engage in it may not be actuated by mercenary motives, but they certainly can have no desire to elevate and improve the standard of Jmanhood. This is a question which every man should take a stand on and the man who does net do so lacks stamina, backbone and moral courage. Down with the devilish de vices of the debauchees. ♦ ■♦ ♦ ♦ Col. H. Fay Gaffney and wife de parted last week for their new home in Peunsylv .nia. Sunday they wor shipped at a church in Delaware. During the service the minister offer ed a petition in which he prtyed for “the slums, the heathen and the South.” Good! We have no doubt but what the reverend gentleman was sincere and meant well, but it must have been amazing to Col. Gaffney and his excellent wife to bear his supplication. How utterly ignorant these well-meaning Pharisees are! It would no doubt astonish this reverend gentleman to be told that there is more genuine Christianity in the Dixie than in New England, yet it is a profound fact. We admire his spirit but despise his ignorance. ♦■ ♦ ♦ ♦ So the strenuous president Las per sisted in appointing Crum. Mr. Roosevelt is a very erratic gentleman. He may be a big man, but he posses ses a powerful small manner of show ing it. We have no personal 8<* quaintance with either the president or his uopointee, but we venture the assertion that Crum is his equals, if not his superior, in every respect. It’s disgusting to see a white man, who professes to be president of a white nation, toadying to the colored element. Bui that is simply what Mr. Roosevelt is doing, ana he is do ing it for the sole purpose of controll ing the colored delegation in the na tional convention and to secure vnes in Northern and Western States where that element has the balance of power. We sincerely trust he may succeed in having himself re-nomi nated, for we know of no candidate the G. O. P. might put. up who would be easier for the Democrats to knock dowo. Strive Agaiutit the Distillery. The time has come when all respect- % able citizens should obey the law with reference to making and selling whiskey. Public opinion should assert itself and be made so strong that all law- abiding citizens would frowo upon a distillery in their community. A still is a curse to any communi ty. They always manage to sell around the still. Let us watch our borders on the North Carolina line. The new law in North Carolina re- me ves from iho c 'untry and so i nev -viM b* looking for places in 80m h Carolina. M ty our good Cherok.e county citizens have their eyes open and oe ready to stamp out the first inroad made into our borders. “vVoeunto him that giveth his neighbor drink, that pattest thy Lot- tin to him,” Hab.

The spring time has come again with all its myriads of dowers and blossoms and singing birds; nature’s cheek is aglow with the bloom of youth and she breathes a sweet in cense upon the balmy air, while all things animate rejoice over the oirth of the new season. As with nature, so with human kind. New life pe.- vades the system ; new hopes and new aspirations are born; enthusiasm ruus higher; the future wears a rosier coloring; the whole world seems brighter and better, and a perfect realization is had of what a grand thing it to be alive. It is the time for new hats, new bonnets,, new dresses, new every thing to wear Art has vied with nature this season and has rivaled her in the beauty of its productions. Those of our merchants who cater to the fashions in feminine wear have kept pace with the season and their places are ablaze with all the bright, new creations in spring and summer goods fresh from the fashion centers of the north. “Spring openings” are now in order, and the initial event of the kind was at the Grauard street establishment ot Messrs. Carroll, Carpenter & Byers Thursday and yesterday. The name of this firm is synonymous with style and excellence of quality. They keep apace with the times and their lines are replete with the best goods obtainable. Their millinery and spring dress goods this year are the prettiest, nobbiest and daintiest that the designer’s art could produce, and would be a credit to an establishment of larger pretentions. On their opening days these goods were displayed to the best advantage possible, and formed a picture which sent a thrill of delight through many a female heart. Their parlors and show winaows were perfect bowers of springtime loveliness, arrayed, as they were, in fruits and flowers, the prevailing millinery fads of the sea son, interwoven with all the dainty lacework and delicately-tinted para’ phernaliatbat so delights the heart of women. The parlors were lovely, and were crowded both days with a gay throng of feminine inspectors who vied in loveliness with their surround ings. The display throughout gave evidence of the touch 01 a muster hand, and Miss Wilson, the efficient milliner, should be proud of her talents and her artistic ability. With her usual grace and courtesy she made the hours pass pleasantly to her visitors and seemed to take great pleasure in giving them the benefit of her extensive knowledge in regard to the prevailing fashious. Messrs. W. J. Wilkins it Co. will have their spring opening on Monday and Tuesday of next week, 80th and 31st. They also have a full hue of everything new and stylish in mil hnery and ladies’ dress yo'ids; and ihe ladies may expect to see some lovely creations in head dress and some rich and beautiful fabrics in dress goods. Mr. Switzer has added a millinery department to his ‘‘Dixie” establish ment, and there too, may be found everything that’s new, swell and “catchy” in the bat line. SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS. SiMNie” Takes “Billy” to Task for Dispar- HginK Home of the i'resent Schools. B0WLINU8VILLE. March 19. — We have been having some pleasant weather for several days, and the farmers have beet bustling about their farms, but it is raining this morning. Mr. Joe Carter, who died in Green ville last Tuesday night, was buried at Providence Thursday at 12 :30. The burial service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Hamrick.

While Mr. O J. Rader, of Char lotte, N. C , and Mr. R (5. Howard, of Gaffney, were delivering some pic tures Tuesday the mule they were driving necame frightened at a cow which a man led close by it on the street, and ran away. A man being In the middle of the street with a load of wood who wouldn’t give any room, forced them to take a side street, and ih“ mule having up so much speed that he couldn’t be prop erly guided, struck a telegraph post and threw both men on the side walk. Both were painfully hurt, but not dangerously. One of Mr Rader’s legs was broken, the other badly bruised and skinned and he was hurt about his left shoulder. Mr. Howard got one leg badly bruised and skinned and it is thought one bone is frac tured. Drs. Nesbit and Crawley were summoned at once and treated Mr. Rader. Both men are at Mrs. W’oods’ boarding bouse and seem to be getting on nicely. Tragedy Averted. “Just in the nick of time our little boy was saved” writes Mrs. W. Wat kins, of Pleasant City, Ohio. “Pneu monia had played sad havoc with him and a terrible cough set in besides. Doctors treated him. but he grew worse every day. At length we tried Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consum ption, and our darling was saved. He’s now sojnd, and well.” Every body ought to know, it’s the only sure cure for Coughs, Colds and all Lung diseases. Guaranteed by Cher okee Drug Co. Price 50c and $1.00. Trial bottles free.

WEEKS 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 io 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 be 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 w ill 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 fiee. lie sure that this picture in the form ol a label is uti the wrapper oi every bottle ol Emulsion you buy. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, 409 Pearl St., N.

Address, B. M. WOOLLKY CO., 1MN. Pryor Street, Atlanta, Georgia Huutli Carollim'H Senator Is Greeted With Hisses and Cheers. Detroit, March 25.—Senator Ben R. lillman of South Carolina was greeted with alternate storms of cheers and hisses when he delivered an impusHuned address on the racejprob- lem last night at the Light Guard armory, the audience bring evidently divided between upholders of his idets and strenuous opponents of them. He said the North demanded majority rule, and with a sneer added that there were 235 U00 more negroes than white people in South Carolina. “It will mean that more blood will flow than was shed in the civil war if you pereist in trying to suhj-Ht us to the domiuation of the blacks ” he said “You butchered the Indians ana shut out the Chinamen, but had it been known by the soldiers who sur rendered with Lee that it was your devilish intent to set up the negro over the white man we would have fought you till now.” Upon the senator’s reference to some of Sherman’s army as bum mers, chicken thieves and carpet- bagge.s, his Northern audience hr ke out into such violent hissihg that the speech was interrupted and some of the more timid ones in the audience feared trouble.
