- THE LEDGER. Tuesday and Friday, *a h DeCamp, Editor and Publisher, J. Brian Bell, News Editor. FAITH WITHOUT HOPE. Wet regret that in making mention of the improvements in the Columbia Record we alluded to its attitude to ward the dispensary, and we really did not mean to “throw a brick’’ along with the nosegay, therefore we are ple>ased to note the verv neat manner in which The Record side stepped the brick. The Charleston News and Courier has so ably stated our position that we shall not attempt to reply to The Record, except to say that we do not believe any raau, how ever honest he may be, can handle liquor ' d'hout s< oner or later becom- ihg corrupt in a degree. W e do not beiieve all men who handle liquor are dishonest to the extent that thev are thieves, bu- we do not believe any man Cin handle liquor and remain honest to his country, his fellowman. himself and his God, because it is a corrupt business and the inevitable result is that it w iH corrupt auv man who handles it. . Following is what the Charleston News and Courier has to sa\. This, of course, from the esteem ed Columbia Record: “The prime difference between a he Ledger and The Record is that -be former believes it impossible to run the dispensary without rotteuuess. while the latter is convinced there are olentv of honest men in South Carolina • who can run the business and keep clean", also that t^ law can b« so framed that even if dishonest men should be put in charge they would have no onoortunity for graft. Possibly the belief of our Gaffney contemporary. The Ledger, is found ed upon the conceded lact tha*. the radical experiment of Stale control has had thirteen vear’s trial and tlual ■the manifestations of “rottenness in the system have beer noted troni the beginning and have steadilv multioh- ei. The dispensarv was established as an experiment, with the burden up- o- it to prove its right to live. Now cames The Record and all its friends reporting no progress, hiding their - c in very shame when its past is Mentioned, but crying aloud that aamehow* somewhere in South caro- liaa “plenty of men” whom the thirteen years have pitilessly refused te discover, can be found to “run the business and keep clean — clean. i n the South Carolina dispensary "»iean!” Yes we could name men, a few Men. whom we think could “keep •lean ” Name them? We dare not. last, thev call us to account for orint- i«g their names in such association- Then piouslv The Record adds that M “dishonest men,” liars, cheats, swindlers, robbers, grafters tnieves, Must “run it,” a legal straight, iacket «oir« curious and canny invention of statutory belts and buckles, may be passed to the buver. will stav th« sum-seller who would drop iho coin trto his own purse! ' Do we mean that all dispensary em ployees. high and low. are actually dishonest ? No. Then who are the Asiionest? Inquire of the Christen- sen-Lyons committee. NO" ES AND COMMENTS. is not a South Carolinian.—Charlotte Observer. All of which goes to show, when we consider the case of George Hasty, that North Carolinians caught violat ing the law ia this State do not fare so well as natives. • • • In announcing the award of the prize to Miss Hardin for forming the greatest number of words from the words “The Gaffney Ledger. ’ we said that we would offer other prizes along a different line, viz: that of story writ ing. We made an error in stating the number of words to which the stories would be limited, as the type made us say 200, when what we really meant to say was 1,200. It is unrea sonable to expect anyone to write a story in 200 words, and as a conse quence but one person bas had the temerity to submit a story of ihat length. Now that the limit nas been raised we trust other boys and girls will undertake to write a short story for The Ledgfer. Remember that in case a good contribution does not ap pear it will be because there are evi dences of too manv errors in it but you need not worry, because no one will see it except the editor and he will no? disclose the name of a single contributor whose story is not used We offer these prizes to encourage the bo— and girls to become writers, and we will not limit the prizes, which are fifty cents each for every article used and for that voted to be -e best at the end of the contest.

The j attendance seemed to he small and one ! speaker got up and said: “We can ac I count for our small attendance to-! night on the account of some pretty j girls visiting in town.” And of course ! from wha: he said we were the win- 1 ner. for it goes to show that the j works of nature were more attractive to the young boys to call to see i the girls and let the debating go by. j Mr. J.

There is still considerable discus sion in the papers and throughout the State in regard to the dispensary. Af- Mr eighteen months without the insti- tation we are prepared to say that the nan who would attempt to start an agitation in favor of re instating the dispensary would run a serious risk— I* fact, we believe he would stand in danger of serious bodily harm, , were to persist in aggitating it. * • * What about a big Fourth of July •ilebratiou?

J McKelway against the Charlotte Observer for damages on account of a* article which showed up the di vine (?) gentleman, came to an unex pected end soon after it was called. The jury gave Mr. McKelway five •ents damages and he had to Pav his own costs in the case. This mav be vindication, all right, all right, but the damages allowed were, in our judg- Ment, too heavy and the Observer should appeal, rather than he bled in any such style. Jesting aside, doesn’t it show thar the editor ^of The Obser ver knew what he was doing and had things down about pat. • • • In Darlington, S. C., two white men. Bob Small end John Noll, the for •’ r from Randolph county and the lot-r from Moore county, this state, bru tally murdered a negro. Noll was sen tenced to be hanged.

Tin- Rock Hill Record says: “One white man must hang.” Yes, but were acquitted of robbery. Robert Murphy was acquitted ot murder.

Success to the Ledger and its readers. Willie B. Kirbv. March 10, ’0C. “An Editor” Defined. The definition of an editor, given by the Spectator in a review of the new edition of Blake’s poems, is v" •* v >v of quotation: “A good editor in an immor'al be nefactor. His work, unlike the work of the critic. ca«i never pass away. He loses himself, subordiates all his per sonal Predilections and aims the •r.eonin" ol his author, and his reward is neroetuitv for his work and obli vion, it may be.* for himself. He helps readers to their destination, and lil ' the engine driver of a train, is for gotten as soon as they have arrived in safety. He is like a perfectly t.an Parent window through which the | u<riit of his author streams without diminution or distortion: while the aesthetic and original critics resem-1 ble a window of colored glass which permits the passage of only so much j light as will serve set off the uride j of the artist.” D< Cwnuot >•< Cur«-«1 by loca* i >.• > •miuioi n hi ! j ifle diseavU port ton of tin ••m.
