NOTES and comments. Of all ihe detestable curs on earth the hypocrite is the most detestable May the good Lord deliver us from them. On D^c. 3rd Brother Cheatham’s Edgefield Chronicle made its appear ance with an inside of the purest En glish wnile the outside was as pure a* the driven snow—white. Wnen old Mother Eve first went out into the orchard to gather apples she discovered that she had no clothes, and that has been the com plaint with her daughters ever since. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The action of the late Chas Logan, of Columbia, in remembering in hie will the city of his adoption, is one worthy of the highest commendation. But it was just like a big,noble-heart ed sou of Erin. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Some people believe in chance. We don’t. Success, permanent suc cess, in this world means common sense, good judgment and honesty, mixed with an abundance of hard work and stirred liberally. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Now that court has about conclud ed its two weeks term we hope the set-back club will resume operations. Were it not for the privilege of fuss ing with Flaw Picker time would have hung heavily on our hands for the past few days. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The following sensible advice is from the Dorchester Eagle and is ap plicable to the people of this section : Don’t spend your money elsew^ffcre . e mer . to se street railway strike last week and a« a result aboutVighty motormen and conductors are out of a job and the same number of “scabs” have berths for the time being. Without attempt ing to go into the justice or injus tice of the strike we are compelled to conclude that this striking business is an evil one. Had the matter been left to arbitration the street railway company might have been saved some annoyance and the work men a season of self-enforced idle ness. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The ladies of Columbia will on tomorrow inaugurate a movement which has for its object the erection of a monument to the late N. G Gonzales. In their efforts they should have the co-operation and as sistance of every patriotic son of South Carolina. Too much has been said of this martyr to the cause of good government for us to endeavor to add one iota. The liberality with which our people respond to this cause will indicate how much they appreciate the worth of so noble a character. ♦ ♦ Senator Gorman took a fall out of the Republicans in the House the other day when he said : “We want to ascertain whether the investigation which has been made has been entirely on the surface and whethet it is true that those who have made the investigation are not as guilty as those who have been in vestigated. I assert here as a sena tor that there is evidence in writing that there were frauds perpetrated by a high officer who is allowed to escape entirely. We want the facts. The country is not satisfied with the thoroughness of the inquiry and wants the books laid open for inspec tion in order that the entire truth may be known. We want to aid the president in turning the rascals out, as we have no doubt he desires to do, and for these reasons we hope that the inquiry will be understood.” A NOTEDWOMAN, Cousin of Late U. S. President Zachary Taylor. will return this Y >rkviile. week to her home in 76 Y«ar§ of Atf**, K«'Coinni«-n<l» Vlnol for Old People. Mrs. harah J Windrom, of 429 W. Erie 8t., Chicago, a mem her of ono of the most distinguished families injthe country, cousin of Zicharv Taylor, 12 h President of me U S, and grandniece of Alexander Hamilton who signed »h<* D-claration o> lode pendence. writes: "V'nol is a godsend to old people. I am 75 years old, but [ feel active and wt-ll todav, -har ks to the vitali zing effects of Vinol •‘My appetite is all that could be desired.

Mr. Perkins printed the fol 'owing manly card in this week’s Johnson News: I hereby confess that in the past I have wronged Mr. Charles J. Terrell while ne was editor and manager of Haluda Sentinel, published at Sam la and since then I have wronged him ov w rd and act and deed, and have misunderstood each other. I am sorry for it ail and ar-k forgiveness in the sight of men. Mr Terrell ha- rorgiven me and we are friends. I make this confession in print volun tarny, hoping that if I have caused any of my friends to form an unjust pinion of Mr. Terrell, the editor of iho Johnson Weekly Monitor, b> anything I have- said, the opin ion will hereby be corrected I ass that I remain his friend and brother Sincerely, J Fuller Perkins Editor Johnson News THE OUTCROPPING OF BAD BLOOD MRS.

Rick Hill Herald is boasting of the efforts of the local authorities to enforce thw dispensaiy law We are a little closer to the North Car olina line than our hustling neighbor but if sales at the dispensary are any indication, we either surpass her ef forts in that direction or there is a wonderful amount of booze used by Cherokeeans. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Charlotte folks are too puritanical over small vices and too ready to overlook big sins. It’s a crime fit for a term on the public highway to in dulge lo a game of draw, but you can go into a bucket shop and win or lose all you can and there is no barm done. One is gambling, the other is speculation, but if they ain’t twin brothers we are no judge. The idea of giving an amateur minstrel performance for sweet char! ty’s sake is a most commendable one, and without kcowiug. we are con strained to believe it originated in the brain of that prince of good fellows, Charley Ligon. If Gaffney people ever go to a theatre for tny purpose whatsoever they can perform no worthier deed than to patronize Pap Lipscomb’s show. About the highest compliment that has been paid|this paper recently came from a thirteen-year-old boy who said: “I like to read the editorials in The Ledger because the editor writes so plainly that I can under stand what be is writing about ” Now.wbat could be more complimen tary than that? If we can succeed in making the little folks understand us our efforts will certainly not have been in vain. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ All the people of Gaffney will learn with pleasure of the re-appointment of Postmaster Alfred R. N. Folger He has made a courteous an efficient official, and the only other thing that we could wish for would be that be were a Democrat; and while it must be admitted that nearP all the good people of this section are allied with that political party, it must at the same time be conceded that there are a tew good fellows on the other side and A. R. N. Folger Is among them. » ♦ ♦ Obarlotte rose to the dignity of a If every rasloal were in the peniten tiaries wnoyougnt to be there they ■fVuixd.be^Khe most pooulous sections of the country.—Newberry Observer.

A pardon was given a negro convict on representations made in a strong paper to him and the first thing the rascal did after getting out was to set fire to a house.—Florence Times. Judging from prevailing custom it appears that the Republican ad ministration measures a man’s fitness for position in the departmental ser vice by his capacity for covering up his tracks.

Scott’s Emulsion presents Cod Liver Oil at its best, fullest in strength, least in taste. Young women in their “ teens ” are permanently cured of the peculiar disease of the blood which shows itself in paleness, weakness and nervous ness, by regular treatment with Scott’s Emulsion.
