I i' V I i \ THE LEDGER, Published Tuesday and Friday by Ed H. DeCamp. The Ledger is not responsible for the views of correspondent*. Correspondents who do not contri bute regular news letters must fur nish their name, not for publication, Write short letters and to the point to Insure publication; also endeavor4 to get them to the office by Monday and Thursday . mornings, but for identification. Oblturaries will be published at five cents a line. All correspondence should be ad* dessed to Ed. H. DeCamp, Manager. We Invariably discontinue se'ndlng The Ledger when a subscription runs out, for we have no way of knowing that 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. write an untruth, that the truth may bo made plain to us and then give us grace and grit enough to correct the error. Man has but one life to live on this earth, then why should he live a lie or tell a lie or act the lie? “If this will not suffice, it must appear That malice bears down truth.” NOTES AND COMMENTS. The true temperance man who says he would vote for prohibition if it would prohibit, is on a par with the fellow who says he would get mar ried were it not for the mother-in-law. Both have migtliy poor excuses. The true temperance advocate will vote it out of the block in which he lives, out of the ward, out of the town, out of the nation. He will at any and all times vote to get it as far away from him as possible. • • • W. B. Smith-Whaley, cotton mill promoter of Columbia, but more re cently of Boston, *Mass., has filed a petition in bankruptcy. Mr. Whaley fails for more than a million dollars. The press has been very considerate of Mr. Whaley and all agree that his purpose was good if his financiering was had. Certainly he added much to the wealth of South Carolina, espe cially Columbia, and we are glad to see that his efforts to better the in dustrial condition of our people are not without due appreciation. • • • The petitions calling for an election on the subject of “dispensary” or “no dispensary” have been turned over to County Supervisor J. V. Whelchel, and 4 that official is expected to call the election in ample time for the voters to express themselves on the 18th of November at the ballot box. There were more than a thousand names on the petition. This brings the matter down to the point where the friends of temperance must bestir themselves. Men who will serve their country unselfishly are needed now. Don’t delude yourselves with the idea that signing the petition is all that is necessary. We will have to vote, and vote often, to carry the election. • • • The terrible disaster on the South ern between Knoxville, Tenn,. and Asheville, N. C., last Saturday morn ing, in which sixty odd people were killed outright and a hundred and twenty-five wounded, some fatally, was one of the unaccountable acci dents that are becoming more fre quent in this day of rapid transit. It comes home to Gaffney people with more force because of the fact that Gaffney people are among the dead. We sympathize with the living rel atives and friends of the victims. We also sympathize with the railroad of ficials. It must be awful for them to contemplate, that their efforts to serve the people are fraught with such dire calamities. • * • We don’t advocate prohibition from a selfish standpoint. We advocate it because of the good it will do others. We want to see whiskey put out of the reach of the man who can’t con trol himself; out of reach of the boys of our county so that they will not become drunkards. We want to help some man to be a better husband, a kinder father, a better citizen. Why, there is enough money spent in this county for whiskey every year to put silk stockings and kid tiioes and nice clothes on every hoy and girl in the county. We want to see our men spend less for the damnable stuff, and we want to see our children wear better clo4hes. That’s our object- nothing more, nothing less. • • • The Washington correspondent of a border state newspaper once wrote an article reflecting severely upon a partisan opponent. Having been con vinced th^t the charge was false, he made a complete, acknowledgement of his mistake as soon as possible and asked that the editor place the cor rection in as prftminent a place as . he original error. This was done. In a few days the correspondent re ceived a letter from an old reader of the newspaper, which ran something like this: “I Jjave long believed most that you have written because your ideas seem to agree pretty well with mine, but after what you have recent ly done you cannot write anything, sir, that I would not believe!" The letter has been framed and hangs in the correspondent’s office.—Youth’s Companion. I That’s our ideal. If there is one thing that we crave more than another it is that He who guides the destiny of man may give us strength and wisdom to write the truth—noth ing but the truth—at all times; but perchance, should we unwittingly The Rural Libraries. To patrons and school trustees: Let me call your attention to the rural libraries. We have until the 31st of December of this year to lake advantage of this rare opportunity to get the best library books for our children I ever knew. The winter is coming on when they will have long evenings, and they will read and reread these valuable books greatly to their advantage and edification. Let me urge you to look after this matter and get these books for your children. You have no idea how they will enjoy them, and what a benefit the reading of them will be to your homes and community. Our county is entitled to eight more libraries and we should by all means get them, and do so by the middle of October. Let Cherokee county have her full quota of libraries, twelve in all. These books are only for the county schools. Let me hear from you by next Saturday. J. L. Walker, Supt. of Education. Squared. A card sharp swallowed a fish bone and was choking when a physician reached him, says the New York Times. In a very short time the doctor removed the bone and the gambler asked gracefully how much he owed for the service. “Fifteen dollars,” replied the physi cian, without a sign of a blush. “YVhat!” exclaimed the sharp. “You weren’t working for a minute. That’s an enormous fee.” “My dear sir,” responded the phy sician, with professional dignity, “that is not the way to look at it. You must consider the years of prac tice necessary to acquire my skill.” The sharp had to pay the bill. Several weeks later the sharp was on a trip out of the city and the doc tor was in the same car, but he did not recognize his forme- patient. The sharp was working several of his little tricks with the boards and he finally induced the doctor to play, who at last was $30 out. “Here!” shouted the doctor, when he saw his roll disappear. “You haven’t given me any show at all. You got that money out of me by a simple twist of the wrist.” “My dear sir,” responded the sharp soothingly, “that’s no way to look at it. You should consider the years of practice necessary to acquire my skill.” The doctor looked the sharp over curiously. Then he smiled faintly and blushed as he said: “Can’t you give me back $15 of that and call it square?” Sam—How is it Pete Green wears such fine clothes en doan’ do nuffin? Remus—Why, he hes a washin’ ma chine dat suppohts him, and does it very well, too. Sam—Huh! Did he invent it? Remus—No; married it.
