THE LEDGER, Published Tuesday and Friday by Ed H. DeCamp. The Ledger Is net responsible for the views of correspondents. Correspondents who do not contri bute regular news letters must fur nish their name, not for publication, but for identification. Obituraries will be published at five cents a line. Write short letters and to the point to insure publication; also endeavor to get them to the office by Monday and Thursday mornings. All correspondence should be ad- dessed to Ed. H. DeCamp, Manager. We invariably discontinue sending The Ledger when a subscription runs out, for we have no way of knowing th~t a person wants it except by re ceiving his or her renewal. We ur gently solicit a prompt renewal, on the ground that the paper is worth the money. We are trying month by month to make it better and bet ter. State and nation, on both of which he made honorable impress. • * * Someone has intimated that it is unfortunate that this newspaper should have published the editorial of last Tuesday entitled “Purity in Politics.” Certainly it is unfortunate.

Those Anderson folks are powerfully sensative and the Greenwood paper should be more considerate. * * * The men selected by the County Convention as county chairman and delegates to Columbia should be the very best men that this county af fords. It remains to be seen whether or not the county convention will rise to the dignity of true statesmanship or descend o the servility of bossism. • * * Democracy is government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is retained and directly exercised by the people. Do we have such a government as that in this county when three or six or any number of men gather at a club meeting and carry out a slated program? The answer comes thun dering back—No! * * * The Greenville Mountaineer has passed Us eightieth year of publica tion. It was first issued as The Re publican. The name was afterwards changed to The Mountaineer, and once during its long life it was edited by ex-Governor B. F. Perry. It has been owned and edited for many years past by Col. J. A. Hoyt and is considered one of the best semi-week ly papers in the State, and is perhaps next to the oldest paper in the State. * * • We cannot understand why some men object so strenuously to the proposition to allow women to vote, j Surely they have a higher sense of right than the average man, and the majority of them have more sense. Where is the man in Soulh Carolina who pushes a pencil and will not ad mit that for good, hard, common sense, Mrs. Virginia D. Young, of the Fairfax Enterprise, doesn’t stand head and shoulders above the entire press gang? • • » It would be a very foolish thing for a monkey to perambulate into a pow der house with a red hot poker in his hand. There would in all proba bility be an explosion. It is equally foolish for anyone to do something that is calculated to bring them into disrepute. Some people may stand for it, others will not, and when the fire of patriotism comes in contact with the powder of sincerity there is liable to be spontaneous combustion and somebody will go up in the ex plosion. * • • We are unalterably opposed to any thing that savors of petty politk It means littleness, 'triflingness, in consideration of the rights of others, i inferiority, subordinateness. These are qualities that all men should ab hor. It has been said that everything is fair in love and war, but no truly chivalrous man will avail himself of small advantages in order to gain personal ends. People who resort to petty politics are not like Caesar’s wife. Such methods destroy confi dence, eliminate friendship, and cause dissention. • * * Judge Charles Henry Simonton of Charleston, one of the Judges of the fourth district of the United States court, died in a hospital in Philadel phia on the 25th inst., where he had gone for treatment. He was apopint- ed a judge by President Cleveland, and he has proved a wise and Just one. He was a prominent lawyer of the Charleston bar before his appoint ment as judge. He had often been a member of the general assembly of this State, which, with his Judgeship, connects him with the history of the in the Sunday school. By A. M. Simms. Afternoon. Address by B. W.

After a while it becomes a rivulet and then a river, but as it grows its j night, waters become polluted until they are, Let every church unfit for domestic use without filtra tion. And so it is with mankind. Purity comes with babyhood, but as we go on in life our minds become poisoned and our lives polluted, and we need a sort of filtration to make us of value to ourselves and man kind and school sure to send delegates.
