LIMESTONE COLLEGE This is a happy season at Lime stone College. The young ladies have finished their collegp year and in a few days thev will be back in their homes. We sincerely trust they have spent the year pleasantly and profitably. We have been glad to have them here. They have, by their presence, added no little to the glories and graces of the community, and we feel that in their going away we must be the losers. Some of them will never come back to Limestone, some of them may never let the sun shine of their nature brighten our community, but whatever they do and wherever they go we trust they will bear in their hearts and minds the magnificent lesson delivered to them on Sunday by Dr. Willingham. No more beautiful, thoughtful or im- nressive sermon Jjas ever been de livered in Gaffney than was that one. It was full of the Jivinest of heaven ly attributes—love. It was such a message as could only fall from the lips of a man whose every fibre pul sated with his theme. It was thoughtful of Dr. Lodger to invite Mr. Willingham here and it was kind of Mr. Willingham to come. Gaffney owes a debt of gratitude to both, and Wp seize this opportunity to say to them that the public is profoundly grateful to both, and we trust Mr. Willingham will not make this his last visit to Gaffney. And now, young ladie~ we bid you a fond adieu. May your vacation be fufl of happiness and joy, and when the new college year rolls around we hope to see those of you who have not comiileted your studied once more. To the graduates we beg to be allow ed u> express the hope that the fu ture holds in store for them nothing that is not good. VERY KIND. The Expression of Our Exchange* on the Industrial Edition. The Gaffney Ledger of the 18tb is sued an industrial special edition which was entirely creditable—Char lotte News. The Gaffney Ledger issued an in dustrial edition last week that was highly creditable. Gaffney Is grow ing right along and so is The Ledger. —Greenwood Index. The Gaffney ledger last Friday is- c?i"d an illustrated industrial edition that was a credit to that hustling pa per and worthy exponent of the en terprise of “growing Gaffney.”—Union Progress, Tlie Gaffney Ledger last week is sued an illustrated trade edition which was a credit U> that paper and to the excellent town that it repre sents. The Ledger deserves good treatment at the hands of the people of Gaffney and seems to be getting it. —Anderson Mail. Editor DeCamp and his co-laborers ought to be proud of their excellent industrial edition, issued on Friday. It was a good advertisement for a good town. Gaffney people are hust lers, as is evidenced by the rapid growth of their town, and this growth is solid, too —Greenville Mountaineer. The industrial edition of the Gaff ney, (S. C.) Ledger, was an able piece of .work all round. But then, nothing short of the best is expected of DeCamp. His enerprise and ener gy has done great things for Gaffney and Cherokee county. More power to The Ledger and its able editor.— Polk County Press. During last week the Gaffney led ger and the Charlotte Evening News both came out with special issues. The Ledger’s effort was most credit able and reflects credit on our com munity. The Charlotte News had an issue specially relating to the Meck lenburg Declaration of Independence and wav brim full of information. It is an issue that should be filed away. —Cherokee News. The industrial edition of the Gaff ney Ledger issued Friday shows much enterprise and good work on the part of the publishers. Gaffney is a live and growing town and The Ledger has helped to make the town. Gaff- nev’s growth has been the result of no accident. The town’s develop ment has been the outgrowth of na tural and artificial conflitions very clearly defined and unquestionable in their existence and influences.— Greenville Herald. Watch This Column.

A UNITED DEMOCRACY. The chairman of the Democratic convention of Kansas In his address to the delegates sounded a kev note that will have interest in Massachu setts and shows that a united De mocracv from the east to the west and north and south is again to be an accomplished fact. “The people of Kansas." said he, “send this slogan across the Mississippi valley and over the Appalachian mountains to New England. We are for free raw material, and we are willing 6> give to the la borer of the east free hides in compe tition with our hides, because the beef trust robs us even of the hair, and then sells the balance to the east ern manufacturer at a higher and fixed price, so that the poor are shoe less, Our Republican congressmen have misrepresented us long enough. We are in favor of the old-fashioned doctrine as enunciated by Samuel J. Tiiden and re-enunciated by Grover Cleveland of a tariff for revenue only. The time is past when we should protect trusts and capitalistic combinations. Protection, as de clared by the republican party. Is now used as an aid to the rich to become richer and the poor to be come poorer. Hurrah! for the unter- rified Democracy of Kansas. Mourn* Mr. Wood’s Death. Pacolet, May 20.—How our hearts were saddened Saturday when we learned of the sad. sad death of Mr. D. Baxter Wood, which occurred at his home at this place Friday night. He leaves a devoted wife, who was Miss Bessie Jefferies, daughter of the late Hon. Wm. Jefferies and two lit tle sons, D. B. and William, and a host of relatives and friends to mourn his untimely death. Mr. Wood was a devoted husband and a loving father. He was just in the prime of life, having celebrated his thirty-ninth birthday in March. He had only been sick a few days. All that loving hands and skilled physi cians (Jould do, did not relieve the sufferer when at 11 o’clock Friday night the death angel claimed him as a victim. The funeral was held at the Methodist church Sunday in, the presence of the largest coucourse of sorrowing friends that has ever assembled on such a sad occasion here The bodv w 'as laid to rest in the Methodist cemetery beneath a profusion of beautiful flowers. The •funeral services were conducted by Rev Mr. Mason, assisted by Rev. S. A. Nettles, of Spartanburg. Our hearts go out to the bereaved ones in this their darkest hour of life. God’s will he done.

SSAME PRICES^ WHITEWASH BRUSH Anv sort of a rake may become a muck rake when muck has accumu lated to such an extent that the health and safety of the community require its removal. It Is the use to which it is put that makes it what It is. Theoretically, the greatest muck rake in this country is Charles E Hughes, whose work in cleaning out the life insurance muck-beds is almost as famous as that of Hercules in cleaning Augean Stables. All hon or to him for his work! He did not try to besmirch the characters of dead men, as Roosevelt did in his book. Next to Hughes, the most use ful muck rakes in the country are those men, like Tillman, who expose and condemn moral uastiness and rot tenness in public life, even in the W'hite House. The journals which expose corruption and fraud are do Ing the best possible work. It Is the man with the whitewash brush, and not the man with the rake, who is the dangerous factor in public affairs, A Scarcity of Candidates. Editor Ledger:—There seems to be a scarcity of candidates for the House of Representatives. This should not bp the case, for there are plenty of able men in the county, who, could they be induced to make the race, would do credit to them- selvec and our prosperous little coun ty of Cherokee. If some man of abili- tv would come out on the following platform, I am sure he would have no trouble in being elected: , Allow each county to decide wheth er for prohibition or dispensary, and to abolish the State dispensary when a majority of the counties have voted for prohibition. Allow each town- shin to vote an additional tax for road Improvements if it so desired. Election of township commissioners bv the loyal voters of the township instead of appointment as at present. A more efficient labor law, and one which wW put a stop to the frequent violations of labor contracts. The election by the people of the trustees of the various graded school dis tricts, instead of appointment, as at present. Simply Simon. Card of Thanks. Mrs. D. Baxter Wood and family wish to take this method of express ing their thanks and appreciation for the kindness and mapy tokens of sympathy shown them during thei recent great bereavement.
