We invariably discontinue sending
r he Ledger when a subscription runs
,ut, 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

Ordination.
On last Sunday aftermxm at. Berea
Baptist church, Blacksburg, Mr. F. G.
Lavender, a member of <aid churcn,
was ordained to the full work of the
gospel ministry. The presbytery con
sisted of Elders A. M. Simms, D. D„
and G. P. Hamrick, of Gaffney, J. L>.
Bailey, the pastor, and I. T. Newlon,
of Blacksburg. '
Dr. Simms conducted the examina
tion in a very careful and interesting
manner, after which it was decided
to proceed at once with the ordina
tion. Dr. Simms delivered the
charge, prayer was offered by Elder
G. P. Hamrick, presentation of BibTe
by Elder I. T. Newton.
The presbytery then extended the
hand of fellowship to Mr. Lavender,
followed by the deacons of the church
together with deacons E. R. Sapoca
P. O. Byars, George Martin and J. .1.
Gibbons, of Mt. Paran church, and J.
D. Wilson, of Buffalo church. These
were followed by the members of the
church in a most cordial manner.
Benediction by Mr. Lavender.
Mr. Lavender carries with him the
love, confidence, and high esteem of all
who know him. lie is a young man.
just nearing the completion of a
course at Furman University, and his
friends expect for him many years of
great usefulness in the Master’s ser
vice.
Asks Aid of Court.
The white man, Angel, who is
charged with counterfeiting, and who
is tinder bond for appearance at the
United States District Court in Ashe
ville in November, has filed an affi
davit in Clerk Hyams’ office asking
that the court, aid him in securin^cer-
tain witnesses whose attendance he
very much desires but for whose at
tendance ho is unable to pay. The
affidavit makes serums charges
against a former United States secret
WHICH IS THE BETTER?
We clip the following from the lo
cal columns of Wednesday’s Colum
bia State:
Yesterday morning Carroll receiv
ed a letter from Mr. H/D. Wheat,
president of the Irene cotton mills
at Gaffney, and the letter contained a
batch of names of colored subscrib
ers and Mr. Wheat sent his check to
pay for them. Mr. Wheat heard Car-
roll lecture in the opera house at
Gaffney last Sunday a week ago and
was very much impressed. Besides
other things Mr. Wheat says in his
letter: “1 trust that you will receive
from the good people of our State
the encouragement and substantial
aid that you so richly deserve. If at
any time you get very hard up, let
me know and, if I can, I will assist
you.” Mr. Wheat also sent cloth for
the industrial home and the value of
the cloth is $25.
In contrast we clip the following
from the Yorkville New Era:
The Rev. Richard Carroll says the
speeches of Senator Tillman in the
south and in the north concerning the
negro “are the voice of an angel
when they are compared with this
play, ‘The Clansman,’ ” which he inti
mates is the “forerunner of murder,
bloodshed and anarchy.” If this pro
phesy is fulfilled there will he those
in South Carolina who will awake to
a realization of the true character of
this mulatto leader of a race he is
forced to own. He is being fostered
by the “better” people of the State,
to wnn.n he has been cunningly pan
dering for the last fifteen or twenty
years. He is one of the most dan
gerous negroes in South Carolina.
Watch his prediction—watch ours.
Could two more widely divergent
ideas exist? One of them is that
of a man who lives not alone for self,
in whose bosom there is the noble
desire to help others—even though it
be the black man. The other is the
expression of an honest but misguid
ed soul who has been made distrust
ful by having lost confidence in hu
manity. We don’t agree with the ex
pression of Rev. Richard Carroll in
regard to “The Clansman”—we In
cline to the belief that he is needless-
Iv alarmed. The play will strut its |
brief hour upon the stage, but if Rev. to their natural strength. That s
Richard Carroll remain true to the ’ ho\V Scott’s Emulsion deals With

“Clansmen” and all the speeches that [^[-Qj-j^hltlS.
Senator Tillman could make In a life-j
time will not injure his cause or his;
race. Senator Tillman is not the ne- j
pro hater he has been pictured to be, SCOTT Si BOWNE,
and his rough allusion to the negro is
simply made for effect. We dare
say if he were to speak from hts

Clyde Inman Dead.
.lust as we were going to press last
evening the sad intelligence reached
us that Mr. Clyde Inman was dead
at the home of Mr. R. E. LeMaster in
this city. Mr. Inman’s home is In
lower Cherokee; but for some time
past he had been a salesman for J. C.
Lipscomb & Company. He was taken
sick about a month ago.
The funeral services will be held
at Mr. LeMaster’s residence th's
morning at 11 o’clock, and the re
mains will be interred in Oakland
cemetery.
Mr. Inman was about twenty-five
years old, and a fine, manly young
•ran.
When a girl is engaged to a man
it is awful hard for her to believe he
loves her unless he tells her he al
ways kisses her photograph before
he goes to bed.
The Better
Way
The tissues of the throat are
inflamed and irritated; you
cough, and there is more irrita
tion—more coughing. You take
a cough mixture and it eases the
irritation—forawhile. You take
SCOTTS
EMULSION
and it cures the cold. That’s
v. hat is necessary. It soothes the
throat because it reduces the
irritation; cures the cold because
it drives out the inflammation;
builds up the weakened tissues
because it nourishes them back
service officer. Turner Wright, who
appears in the case. The affidavit
sets forth that Wright gave Angel the
counterfeit money found in his place
at the time the officers appeared on
the scene and also the moulds that
were found. He alleges that Wright
asked him to keep the money and the
moulds until they were called for and
intimated that this was part of a
scheme to secure Angel’s arrest. An
gel alleged that the “scheme” was
tried on another man, but that he
failed to “bite.” The names of the
witnesses desired are given and that
which Angel expects to prove by
them.
