mw m'. J / THE LEDGER. Tuesday and Friday, c d. H. DeCamp, Editor and Publisher, A. W. Griffith, Local Editor. NO JURISDICTION. We have always entertained a hipn roRaid for the Hon. Jeter C. Pritch ard. of North Carolina. He is one of the few Southern m; n of character ami ability who have braved public sentiment and followed th .• mandate . of the Republican party. His career erly taxable court costs should the relief prayed for not ho granted." This means tl it the dispensaryltos have one more chance, hut it Is the last chance and the chance Is too slim to be reckoned with. Judge Pritchard’s action is in keep ing with his past record, and we take off our hat to him. NOTES AND CvMME fT8. has nee •n a notable one and wo can- ■ot help hut believe that he has pur sued ihe course be has because of an honest belief that it was the prop er one. True, he has been rewarded for his faithfulness. His party sent him to the Senate and later he was appointed United States Judge. All this is introductory to whit we want to say about his latest public act that concerns South Carolinians. The dis pensary people of Union have done their best to set aside the Brice act allowing elections on the dispensary question. They have been beaten at every turn, and as a court of last re sort appeared before Judge Pritchard, at Asheville, last Tuesday, and asked, in effect, that he res'ore the dispen sary system in those counties that had voted out the institution. Judge Pritchard’s order of dismissal is as follows: “J O. Howell, relator, vs. R. M. Fincher, W. D. Wilkins and Elzie Ke.- ley, as the county board of control of Union county, defendants. “The petition, the rule to show’ cause and return thereto having been read and it appears to court that it has not power to issue the writ of mandamus to afford the relief prayed for, the court having the power to issue this form of relief only as an ancillary remedy, it is upon the court's own motion ordered that this petition for mandamus be dismissed without prejudice." The attorneys for Howell then peti tioned Judge Pritchard for a manda tory injunction reinstating Howell, the deposed dispenser, in office, which petition the court granted, singing an order of which the following is one of the most important clauses: . “Upon bearing the verified bill of equity therein, now upon the motion of Messrs. Bellinger and Welch and John G. Capers, attorneys for the complainant, it is ordered that the da- fendant and each of them, as thw county board of control for Union county, be and they are hereby order- •ei to show cause before me and at my chambers at the city of Richmond, Va.. on the 20th day of November, 1905. at 8 o’clock p. m. why the in- jtmetion prayed for should not be granted. This rule to show cause to become effective when the complain ant shall execute a bond with good and sufficient surety to be approved by the clerk of the United States court when filed with the same, con ditioned upon the payment of all prop How about that civic hnpfpvement I -ociety we were talking about several weeks ago? Don’t you think the Idea j a good one? . . . Don’t let. this beautiful weather, and the good condition of the dirt roads lull your conscience to sleep on the matter of macadam roads. • » • We would like to see a hoard of trade or chamber of commerce or something of that order organized in Gaffney. If w'e would just get to gether and push things a little we could make things hum in this town. We have the natural advantages and all we need is a little more energy and a little more pulling together. ■ • • In the death of Col. T. Stobo Far row there disappears from the stage of life a man of more than ordinary ability. He was not to be regarded as a brilliant man, but he achieved more or less distinction. President Cleveland honored him with the pos* tion of Second Auditor of the Treas ury, which position he filled with credit. He was, in many respects an exceptional man, but at all times the polished gentleman. Cut Out the Profanity. (Exchange) Young men, don’t swear. There is no occasion for it outside of the print ing office, where it is useful when the paper is behind time. It also comes handy in proof reading and is indis pensable when the ink works bad and the press begins to buck. It is some times brought into use when the fore man’s mad; and has been kne n to entirely remove the tired feehag of the editor when he looks over the pa per after it is printed. Outside of the printing office it is a foolish thing. $ioo Reward, $ioo.

Portrait of General Robert E. Lee. The fact that too frequently it transpires in American history that no accurate and authentic portrait of her great men is faithfully preserved has caused a number of the devoted admirers of General Robert E. Lee to interest themselves to cause a per fect picture of the great General to be made and to be preserved for all future history. This work, after a lapse of forty v ears. is now under way by the John A. Lowell Bank Note Company, of Boston, who are using for this pur pose the exact photograph made at General Lee’s residence in Richmona a few days after the surrender, which picture has always been considered by the Lee family and friends as the most perfect likeness ever taken of the General at that period. The work, when finished, will be of the highest art of steel engraving, so that it will thus be preserved for all future time. An Effort to Prevent Election. Sims and Hannon, attorneys from Spartanburg, appeared yesterday be fore Judge Klugh and secured an or der notifying the supervisor and oth ers of Spartanburg county, to appear before him here Monday and show cause why they should not be en joined from holding the election in Spartanburg county Tuesday, Novem ber 7th, on the question of “dispen sary” or “no dispensary.” Gold Dollar For 50 Cents.

Consumption •J There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, ex ercise, nourishing food and Scott’s Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there is anything to build on. Mil lions of people throughout the world are living and in good health on one lung. From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very little good. They can take SCOTT’S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott’s Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption where its use must be continuous. •I We will send you a sample free. C} Be sure that thit picture in the form of a label is on the wrap per of every bottle of Emulsion you buy.

A dealer makes 50 cents more on fourteen gallons of ready- for-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than our agent does on eight gallons of L & M. paint and six gallons of linseed oil, which makes fourteen gallons of the best paint In the world, at $1.20 per gallon; the property-owner loses just $4.20. Is it right? It only requires 4 gallons of L. & M. and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint a moderate sized house. Ten Thausand Churches painted with Longman & Martinez L. & M. Paint.
