CHEROKEE NOT INCLUDED. in Senator Tillman’s address to the peaple of South Carolina he said: At this time, bv elections held under the Brice act .16 counties in the State arv enjoying the blessings of prohibi ts* (?) Let every man who reads a newspaper printed in thon* counties seai<’> its columns and see the advertisements of whiskey bowses outside the State .... Turn to the editorial pages of the newspa pers and see constant allusions te the “blessings of prohibition.'’ “quietude,” “freedom from drunken- ■ews ” peace and good order” that) are proclaimed Upon the whiHe a man would be very much edified to know how much money flows into the coffers of these journals from whiskey advertisements, while ’he same papers are exploiting prohibition and sobriety. confess that w e did mrt read Mr. TJ*man’s manifesto throughout, and •■r reason for nor doing so was b* paa»« we become thoroughly dis- iwted with the brand of «r- StWuent the Plonalor was put- tin* up in behalf of the dispensary. W« left the State for several days and nn our return had o*r attention direct ed k> the above paragraph. Believing htat Mr. Tillman had written hastily a*d without due consideration of the feHA and rather than attempt bo make him appear In « lik* light before the people of bhle county, we took it upon our- solbes to addresg him what wo consid ered lo be a very courteous but firm jebber, in which we asked if be meant lo include Cherokee and the papers published in this county, especially The Ledger, in the charges he made. In neplv to our enquiry we received a ▼*ry terse epistle in which the Sena tor attempts to ridicule us for asking thtf question, hut he goes on to say: "Mv address was necessarily couch ed in general terms and I nedther in- rl*#rl nor excluded anv papers, leav ing the residents of each county to mato examination for themselves and so* just how far the statement ap plied Cherokee is eminent- !▼ sober. with no drunkenness, and ifn brand of prohibition is genuine. Tbi* Ledger and its valiant editor w«r* nor mentioned, then what are yon kicking about?” <*f course the Senator means ridi- •■V. In that last sentence, hut when he iaoetiouslv eays that Cherokee is emi nently sober he comes nearer telling tbo Iruth than intended. We werekiek- fng about being included in a general •jottment that was wholly untrue so far as we vrer*. concerned and thought w* were doing Mr. Tillman a kindness In giving him an opportunity to ex- c.lgri* The Ledger from his list rather than to take him to task for saying something we really did not think he maant to say. At any rate, we have forced him to make an exception in th* ease of Cherokee and The Ledger, aad we are therefore satisfied. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Amyone who can furnish us with ••pies of The Ledger of January 9th •ad 12th will confer a great favor on ns by so doing. has been found that however much Is appropiiated the administration ex pends it all. • • • To a layman, the Idiosyncrasies of the law leave a sense of bewilderment, for no sooner has Ibe Supreme Court decided that trust officials mnst answer all questions put to Ahem, than the trial court In the ivrnf trust case decides that trust magnates can not be convicted on the evidence they have given in an inveslgation. • * * As the beef trust magnates have been set ftee by the court, through the blundering of Mr. Garfield and the law officers of the administration, the price of beef cannot he expected to come down, nor the price of cattle to go up. and vet the Republicans are t-ying to make out that this is a trusi-busting administration. • • • When such expert lobbyists as “Judge” Hamilton and “I>ou" Payne agree that the admitted amounts paid by the insuranep companies a» cam paign contributions was “a mere baga telle,” how the people will open their eyes when th«r. know the whole truth about the connection of the Republi can committees with this “yellow dog fund.” * * * The New York laboringmeg are quite anxious Ihaj the Department of Justice shall take the necessary steps to prepare the coffin trust for burial, but the Department has received such a shock over the derision in the bdef trust case that) it will require time before it got* into the ring again. Then the administration has declared its hostility to most of thw tilings la bor wants, anyway. * * * When the Democratic nartv was dis rupted over the financial issue at the beginning of the second term of Presi dent Cleveland, how jubilant the Re publican* were and how confident of success in the same coming congres sional elections. Now history repeats itself and the tables are turned, for it is the Democrats who are now jubi lant and encouraged and the Repub licans discouraged find faciag defeat. * * * That $100,0i)0 appropriation for a private car for the President has been sidetracked until the amount actually accessary can he discovered, for it Senator Knox, the eminent corpora tion attorney, who was elected to rep resent thp Pennsylvania Railroad in terests in the United States Senate, declares that the railroad rate hill, as it. shards, is unconstitutional. The friends of rate regulation have more fear of thp “joker” than Senators Knox, Elkins, Aldrich, Foraker and others will try to conceal in amend ments. than they have that the Su preme Court will decide that the rail roads are to he protected instead of the people. * • • All the Cabinet hut Mr. Moody are said to he out. of harmony with Presi dent Roosevelt on the control of rail road rates, which shows how the lead ing Republican statesmen are owned and controlled by the corporations. No similar conditions have prevailed un der any former administration, and it is safe to say that a house so divided against itself can hardly endurp it. It may come to this, that President Roosevelt in self defence will have to compromise with the corporations, or if he is an earnest reformer, he will have to invite Democratic statesmen to join his official household.

In wandering ai»le*elv through the citv In a never-ending search for un usual ihings to feature is this cok umn. I stumble across many things unusual, and occasionally one that will appeal to some Ledger readers. While pursuing the aforesaid position of strolling tbrojgh <fee streets on the lookout for the strange and weird, I ran across a story th* othar day which is possibly worthy of a pfec* among the bubbles that have preceded It in this column. To avoid argument we win spin the tale A colored man working in the city, who lives in the suburbs, was walking homeward a dav or two ago. when he was attract ed bv etrange noises and the appear- onee of a smoky haze straight arrows his path, some distance ahead. Apprehending that soniothiag ott of the ordinary wia« transpiring, he hied himself to the scene as quickly as possible, and aariylng. found that his fears had been well fouaded, for there in the road were two boys whom he recognized as r««id«nts of this «ity, having observed both on the streets, hut whom he was unable to identify, busily engaged in an attempt to have a little fua, which fun. if it had materialized sufficiently, would have probably brought disaster to both the participants and dire ruin to the community ther had selected *s the base of their operations. The plan briefly outlined was about, a* follows: Materials needed were a coco-cola bottle and a tin tomato car,, assisted hr a genoroua quanttty of powder. Matches were needed, but the em bryo conspirators' supply had become exhausted and they were just euspend- i” operations for a short time when the colored man who starts this tale arrived. He was promptly besieged for a nvit.cja to carry on file interest ing game, hot. being without, one, re quested him to step to hi* house, where his better half would supply the desdred lucifer. Arriving there it was disclosed that this was not the first time she had acted the friend in need in the wav of matches, but, that, on the contrary, she had been per forming the duties ns a storehouse for matches for the pa* few mi*nt;es. She told that she had s«en the min- ature fireworks fior some time, and that, as soon as her matches had time enough to arrive she would be treated to pn exhibition of dynamite, con cealed mines and a magnificent repe tition of the blowing up of th* Maine. She was aware of the fact that it was quite a few days yet until the Fourth of Julv or Christmas either, hence she wa* somewhat surpriend to leam of the celebrating with fireworks. The man, when he arrived, soon saw that to allow the sport to continue would he dangerous, and probably at tended by disastrous insults; so he in sisted that the bombardment cease immediately, if not, sooner. The mer ry-makers were apparently enjoying themselves immensely, as they refused to relinquish their claim on the bot tle. can and powder. Th* man, how ever, seemed imbued with a business noodle, as he began to barter with the voung gentlemen as to what would bajj suitable price for the outfit. Af ter a short bantering it was agreed that ia jit (five cents) would b* suit able compensation. This was paid, the hoys desisted from their decidedlv dangerous sport, the kind-hearted ne- g>- is possessed of a coca-cola bot tle somewhat stained with powder burns, a tomato can battle-scarred, and a small potion of powder, and financially he is five cent* in the bole. B. B. The Tvuth Hurt*. The Burlington News says the edi tor of an Indiana paper became tired of being called a liar so he announc ed that he would tell the truth in the future. The first issue thereafter con tained the following: “John Bonin, the laziest mechant in town, made a trip to Bellville Tues day.” “John Coyle, our groceryman, is do ing a poor business. His store is dirty, dustv and noxiously odoriferous. How can he expect to do much?” “Rev. Styx preached last Saturday night on charity. The sermon was punk.” “Dave Sonkev died at his home in this nlace. The doctor gave it out as heart failure. The fact is, he was drunk, and whiskey js what killed him.” “Married.—Miss Sylvia Rhodes and James Conhan, last Saturday evening at. the Baptist parsonage. The bride is a very ordinary tows girl who doesn’t, know an y more than * jack rabbit abont cooking, and never help ed her mother three days in her life. She is not a beauiy by any means, and has a gait like a fat duck. The groom is well knows as an up-to-date loafer. He’s been llviag off the old folks all his life end don’t amount to shucks. Thev will have a hard life. The paper had so sooner reached the public than a committee was sent to him bearing a petition asking him to continue in the good old way, and stated that, thev believed him to be a truthful and honeat man. ■. mmmu -w A Sure Remedy for* .
