The Carolina Spartan has changed its form, and the change makes a marked improvemeni in the appear ance of the paper. There Is nothing ’’yellow” about the Spartan, and Capt. Pettv and Mr. Lide are to he congrat ulated upon their splendid success. * • • Tht* South Atlantic League base- bal] season opened Monday, and up to this writing Columbia has not won a game. Thev seem to have a good team, hut Charleston -appears to have a better one. Our sympathies are! whh Columbia, and it is disappoint-j in r to see them lose game after game, i * * * That’s an awful story of the earth-j quake in Sau Francisco which is to { b found on the third page of this: issu of Thp Ledger. All America j should go to the rescue of the strick- j e city. Contributions for the relief! of the sufferers will be received at j this office and forwarded to the prop er persons * t * Don’t get uueasv abou; that indus trial edition. We have been taxed to our utmost to do the work that has come to us the past three months. There seems to be a lull, however, and we’ll soon catch up. We want 1- "et out something creditable, and v.ould rather delay the edition than to he hastv and make a failure. • • * Mr. J. E. Norment. private secre tary to Governor Heyward, has an nounced his candidacy for i-he office of Secretary of State. We have no hesitancy in saying that there will he no more gentlemanly or fit can didate for any office during the cam paign than Mr. Norment. He is thor oughly capable of discharging the du ties of the office he seeks, and those who vote for him "ill have honored themselves by so doing. * * * Col. J. H. Wharton is making a lively campaign for re-election to the board of railroad commission. The Colonel is an old-school gentle man, a popular man, and a good rail* road commissioner, and we would like to see him re-elected because his past experience has placed him in posi tion to do his work the better. And then again, Cherokeeaus must re member that he has been a factor in giving us our handsome new depot. * • • Thp hoys and girls are taking some interest in our story contest, but not so much as wo had hoped. Already we have a number of stories, hut we want a few more before w<> begin to publish any. On account of school duties, we have not urged the mat ter. and will noi do so until the present school term ends, as wp do not want them -n do anything that might interfere with their studies. It is therefore well to bear in mind that the contest will not 1 begin until after the schools close. * * * Did vou notice the splendid local paper we issued last Tuesday? It covered the local field in every phase. It was news of interest, too. The railroad and tin mine items were of especial interest to those who delight noting the material advancement ot this community. The Ledger has in reserve two other items of local advancement that will pleas P the peo ple. but the news has not been re leased for publication, so we must bide our time. * * * The Gaffnev Ledger says that everv Cherokee County candidate should he made to ‘‘declare either for or against good roads.” It is easy to guess which wav thp candidate will declare himself, but it is more doubt ful whether his declaration will re sult in greatly increasing the num ber of miles of good roads In Cher okee. Good roads have to be paid for. and the proper person to declare himself on the issue is the taxpayer. Everybody is ‘‘in favor” of good roads, but not all are willing to belt) pay fur them.—Columbia State. It is ver. r evident that the esteem ed State does not quite understand the method in our madness. Of course all he candidates will be in favor of good roads, bur we want each and everv candidate to sav so. in order that the subject may be discussed and interest aroused. Every man may he in favor of good roads, but unless in terest i» awakened and somp effort made -o secure them, we will never have them, and the onlv way to cre ate an interest in anv subject is to * MaaEBeEga&eBaaaaaagj? YNICAL COMMENT K ——— —— B WHITTEN FOH THE LEDGER Q5 | BY CYNICUS Pi T SMOOT AGAIN— HE Smoot investigation, with all its nauseating details, is again before an iuoffending public, and the observation prompts itself that, whatever might be said concern ing their standard of morality, the remarkable struggle which even aated in mastery over the barren desert i? due in grear measure to t 1 e indom itable courage and zeal of the Mor mons. Yet it is difficult to compre hend how profanation and immorality are any less reprehensible when prac- ticed under the garb of religion than when perpetrated by anv other show- people. —o— “DIXIE.”— A small crowd assembled in front of a Limestone street store one even ing recently, intentlv listening to a phonographic rendition of Dixie,’ which always sends the blood cours ing through the veins in riotous leaps and bounds. Small hoys scampered agitate it. Do you see what we are from across thp stre et, and passers- al:er? 016 We not rignl? b v lingered to hear the music. The - last sweet, strains died away, the ■ crowd eagerl, awaited a repetition of j i he piece, but instead were greeted ; with “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” Imme- j her i iiatelv thev began to disperse, a j lonesome-looking colored man being | the onlv oiip who remained to hear: | Mie pieep to the finish. —o— THE FALL AND RISE OF YERKES Charles T.

Thus it has been always, and will forevo- be.

Explain to him that what you wish is peanuts, and he will smilingly grat ify vour desire. Step up to a fruit- stand ju Gaffney and call for goobers, groundpeas, peanuts or pinders, and vou will he served without question ing—illustrating the peculiar forms of speech and phraseology prevalent in different sections of th© country.
