A PEACEFUL NEGRO.
Wo do not presume that the press
of South Carolina means to even have
the appearance of dictating to Gover
nor Heyward in the matter of the
murder of Allen Petidleton near
Honea Path on the 17th, inst, but we
believe it Is offering some mighty
good advice. Rowdy white men should
be made to respect a peaceful negro
just as much as a rowdy negro is
made to respect a peaceful white
man.—Gaffney Ledger.
Our contemporary has a strange
idea of a “peaceful negro” if he puts
Allen Pendleton in that class. If
what is said by good citizens is true
he was peddling North'Carolin^ block
ade whiskey throughout the country
oh the Sabbath day and sold Jim
Mocjre enough to make him a litMe
reoWcss, and when he was in no per
sonal danger seized the stripling,
helpless in the hands of such a giant,
and stabbed him in the cheek, twice
in the shoulder, slashed his arm near
ly off. then drove his long bladed
knife from the back of his neck
through the throat until it came out
under the chin and then kicked his
body from him into the dirt.—Abbe
ville Medium.
I-iet us assure the esteemed Medium
that our understanding of the affair
was different from what its under
standing is. We simply read the
special dispatch telling of the trag
edy, and, having no reason to believe
that the dispatch misrepresented mat
ters we commented accordingly.
However, we will leave off the name
of Allen Pendleton and the place,
Honea Path, and then reiterate what
we have already said. In addition, we
want to say if Pendleton were The
aggressor, and brought on the trouble
then the law should have been allow
ed to put him to death, and not a
mob. When the mob took the law
into Its own hands the mob became
the law breakers and. such being
the case, the mob should be punish
ed We have no sympathy with mob
law under any circumstances, be it a
white mob or a black mob. The law
of the land should be surpreme at all
times.

Jordan on the cotton situation. Both
these gentlemen tell in more forcible
and elegant style than we posalbly
could to hold cotton and we can only
add that we trust, for the best inter
est of all, that Southern farmers will
hold their cotton.
• • •
If the Southern patrons of bucket
shops would withdraw their patron
age they would do much towards
making the price of cotton go up.
Just so long as the Southern gamblers
go to the bucket shop and bet that
cotton will go up, just so long will
Northern gamblers do all in their
power to put the price down; and
they will put it down, too, for they
have more money than the South
erners. Let Southerners desert the
bucket shops for one month, and then
Southern farmers can get their own
price. As matters now stand the
Southern gambler in cotton futures
is a menace to Southern cotton grow
ers.
If a man is no earthly good he is
always asserting that he’s as good as
anybody.
There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together
and until the last f^A years was supposed to
be Incurable. Fora great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease, and pre
scribed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment, pro
nounced It Incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutionol treatmut.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. .1.
Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only con
stitutional cure on the market. It Is taken
internally in doses from 1(1 drops to a tea-
spoonful. It acts directly on the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it fails to
cu'e. Send for circulars and testimonials.

Col. T. B. Butler went over b* Pel

speech. This is Hie proposed new

people are taking hold of the subject
it begins to look like there is going
to be something doing over there.

Opposite Maness' Market
Mr. Bryant on. Good Roada.
Editor The Ledger:—If you will
allow me space In your valuable pa
per, I would like to tell the people
of Cherokee county what I saw and
learned on my recent visit to Char
lotte to see the good roads of Meck
lenburg county, N. C. I personally
Inspected a portion of their improv
ed roads, also their chaingang, and
found them to be in fine condition,
the finest I have ever had the pleas
ure of inspecting, and there is ijo
reason why Cherokee county could
not have as good roads as these.
They are graded nearly to a level
and the macadam runs about twelve
inches deep and is as solid as the
rocks of Gibraltar.
The consideration for a road is not
how much your team can pull, but
how much your wagon will carry.
The way these roads are construct
ed the farmers along the road to be
built, haul the rock out on the road
and receive 40 cents per square yard
for their rock, so the farmers that
are more interested in the roads and
assist in getting the rock are the ones
that receive the benefit, or rather get
the improved roads.
There is no reason why Cherokee
county don’t have as good roads as
any county in the Union.
We have the rock and the citizens
that are interested in the good roads
movement who will deliver the r ck.
So why not have the roads? It is
reasonable that, we can have them
and I, speaking in behalf of Chero
kee county, will say that it is only a
short time until Cherokee county will
be equal to the foremost county in
the State for goods roads.

The season's first cold
may be slight—may yield
to early treatment, but the
next cold will hang on
longer; it will be more
troublesome, too. Un
necessary to take chances
on that second one. Scott’s
Emulsion is a preventive
as well as a cure. Take
when colds abound and
you'll have no cold. Take it
when the cold is contracted
and it checks inflamma
tion, heals the membranes
of the throat and lungs
and drives the cold out. .

more on fourteen gallons of ready-
for-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than
our agent does on eight gallons of L

oil, which makes fourteen gallons of
the best paint In the world, at $1.20

just $4.20. Is it right?

Through their attorneys, Wright
& Carlton, the heirs of the late J. S.
Pender, of Salisbury, have instituted
a novel suit against the Southern
railway for $10,000 damages sustain
ed in the death of Mr. Pender. The
deceased was a painter by trade and
a month ago while returning from
work, at Albermarle, to his home in
Salisbury, he died in the coach in
which he was riding. His body was
not discovered until after the coach
was placed on the siding on the yards,
having reached Salisbury at a late
hour at night. The plaintiffs ciaifn
that the defendant company should
have removed Mr. Pender from the
car when it was apparent that he was
dangerously ill. The legal points at
issue have never before been submit
ted to a North Carolina conrt.
