Otts and the other gen tlemen who have engaged in the sena torial controversy we wish to sav that no far. as- Thp Ledger is concerned this euarrel is at an end. unless those .interested desire to nav for the space thev consume at the regular advertis ing rates. The tiling is proving too; co-tlv to us for the benefits to the ^ public to be gained thereby. • • * 'flie Southern Railway should have the sympathy of the public in the case of the wreck at Broad river hast Saturday morning. It was one of tjhose unfortunate occurrences for which the railroad is blamed on ac count of careless employees, but when one remembers how utterly im- posutbi* it is to gel employees to take the proper interest in tbeir work, especially where such a larce number L employed, as is the case with the railroad company, then it is sr «n how difficult it is to always have things done just as it is desired. The rules of the company are sufficient, and if they wer 0 rigidly carried out t,p»>re would be fewer accidents. Some people are wondering why j The Ledger did not print Senator Tillman's manifestoes in regard to the dispensary. The reason is plain. In | tho first place the people of Cherokee hav#. passed on the question and de clared against tho dispensary, and f’-om what w© can learn thev are perfectly satisfied with the present condition of affairs. In the second nlace the Senator could not. or did not. depict things as thev are in this county In the third place we con sider th© advocacy of such a measure beneath the dignity of a Cnlted States Senator. It seems to us that these reasons are sufficient for us not to handle the manifestoes. poll- less of what and how. Naturally, the coolness of an office furnishes superi-j 1 or pleasures to tramping a dustv roed and whenever such a thing is possible j I admit that I am onlv too glad to seek the comfort of an easy chair in pref-1 erence tp work in action. I was so j engaged.* or rather disengaged, this week, and if pressed for details 1 will admit that I was dozing, when sud- i denly T realized that something unu sual was happening and something | out of the ordinary was transnlrlng. 1 An ever predominant spirit of lazi- j ness manifested itself and I refused to budge an inch, even though the item might be one of life and death, or of importance equaling the start - 1 ling announcement recently flashed i over the wires: “Teddy Roosevelt will take a nap at 3 P. M.” Notwith standing that this item might equal j i*. 1 let It look after itself and slept on. I had possibly dreamed one dream, more or less, when shouts | from the large number I knew- must ! he in attendance called me from mv ^ lethargy and I hastened toward the j spot from which tbp sounds issued. It was then that I saw the light, or ^ as much as was possible from the large gathering that obstructed tho view. I came anticipating a gro‘* news item, and 1 got it. hence I sun- | nose I am not in a position regis- te- an.- groat kick, although I must insist that an illusion was dispelled. The great interest aroused was all on aeconut of a mule being milled, or | rather extricated, from what was j about to prove a premature grave. From facts gathered on the wing it I would seem that the industrious an- i imule had fallen beneath the when in the act of performing her Carolina Press Association which has been called by President Aull. Mrs. Stanley Mason, of Richmond, Va. is in the city the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Thomp son] on Victoria avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Gray and children from Oklahoma, are in the city, the guest of relatives. Rufus Potter, of Cowpens, was in the city Tuesdav and came in and renewed his subscription to The Led ger. Dr. J. M. Hunter will he at the Commercial Hotel on Wednesday, the 11th of April. J. Meek. Smith, of Clover, was in the city last week, the guest of Capt. S. S. Ross. And the turnpike guide post is the trade mark of the National Biscuit Company. It pomts the way to the food of quadity—biscuit and crackers so perfectly baked and properly protected; so cleanly packed and freshly kept, that they never fail to please in their mission to the appetite and heart. This trade mark always appears in red and white. It is placed on each end of a dust and moisture proof package that keeps the contents in their original condition. National Biscuit Company products are thus distinguished and warranted you are thus protected and guided, in buying the most perfect of bakery products. As an example try a package of GRAHAM CRACKERS. You will instantly recognise their supenonty over any ordinary Graham crackera you ever tasted.

A si mands the year the season Good Roads. (Fort Mill Times.) iject which bobs up and de discussion at all seasons of i is that of good roads, and now ai band w-hen tbe' farmers realize the need of improve ments along ibis line. It, is a fact that the farmers, who are the chief i beneficiaries of good country roads, i ar». not yet fully awake to the im portance of improvement, and until thev are ready to act, tile problem, will not be solved. ;,Yw York is said to have the best roads of any State in the I nion,^ while Mecklenburg county. North | Carolina, leads in quality and mile- , age any county jn the south in mac-1 a'iam. The roads have added much to the value of property and wealth of the people where they have been built, and farmers of other sections are awakening to the needs of better highways. The good roads of New York f tale were built through legi-- laMon brought about by the farmers, at/ 1 th< fam ing elass of anv other Rial,, can have lust f.s much influ ence as those of New York, if they will onlv do so. When the farmer so;*“ fit to nit his best foot forward jn tl e matter of good roads the result wdl he of great benefit to all. and es pecially to the farmer himself. co—0—o—0—0—c 1 Where, Oh Where, j* the Cat? ! \s I was standing on Limestone street one afternoon this week one of 1 the fine looking police officers came 1 alone gayjv swinging his stick, and I think whistling.

How- are tlm rounders? Anything doing?’’ “No, nothing doing. Everything verv quiet.” “But say. Cantain. where is that, city hull cat? T can’t find her on my visits to mavor’s court anv more.” Then and there, with a grave nod. the officer railed me to one side and told the story.

But Mr. Sease Is quoted as saving that he will not aspire to the Attorney Generalship, but will be per fectly satisfied to be re-eletced soli citor. The State can’t have too miiny good sollciptrs. and Mr. Sease enjoys tire distinction of ranking with tne very best of them.—Greenville News. Tl^ere is no doubt of Solicitor Sease being among the best prosecuting of ficers in the State. His management of the George Hasty murder case was able and brilliant, and the conviction of the murderer was largely due to this talented and brave solicitor.
