'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.

I admit that I am onlv too glad to seek

engaged.* or rather disengaged, this
week, and if pressed for details 1 will
admit that I was dozing, when sud- i

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

over the wires: “Teddy Roosevelt

^ 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-

insist that an illusion was dispelled.
The great interest aroused was all on

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

perfect of bakery products.
As an example try a package of GRAHAM CRACKERS. You will instantly recognise

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.

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. As crime seemed
] to be very much in the background I
{ thought it appropriate to stop the
officer and engage him in conversa
tion The following conversation en
sued. whereupon bangs a tale, not a
fish tale, but a cat tale:
“Good evening Captain. 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. Du'-ing the telling the
soft pedal should have been put down
and a funeral dirge softly chanted, for
b was an awful tale—a tale qf a
do vnfall. a descending from a re
sin ctable mayor’s court cat to a eat
or par w-ith ordinary street cats, and
W'. but not least, an awful end.

Thos. H. Sease, solicitor for ;
the venth Judicial District, has
ben discus ed to 0 considerable de
gree as an available candidate for At
to r nev General, and there has been so
much talk to that effect that he had
alio"t concluded that he would be in
tbe race. 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. The
State would be proud of him as At
torney General.
