NOTES AND COMMENTS. Tin* election takes place one week from today. The Ledger onlv hopes that the men most fitted for the office will be elected. ♦ • • The Yorkville Enquirer, easily the neatest and best printed newspaper in the South, has made a change in its make-up of the editorial nag-' which will commend itself to its readers. * • • The Anderson Intelligencer is dls- nLaying marked improvement. It has changed to twice a week and nut on a new r dress, and looks as neat as a summer girl in white. * • • A negro has been arrested in Knox ville, who is supposed to he Jim Low ery, the murderer of Chief of Police R- S. Jones at Shelby, N. C„ several years ago. This is about the sixth ne- gr-' who has been identified as Low- erv and we would rejoice to know that this is the right man. • • • Do what they can we do not be lieve tlie dispensary advocates can keep Frasier Lyons from being elect ed attorney general of South Caro lina. W’e hope his majority over both his opponents "ill be so decisive as to forever silence those who assert that this State is in favor of graft and debauchery. • • • The campaign in Cherokee county seems to have resolved itself into a personal one—that is, tiie voters seem to care little what a candidate advocates just so he is popular. It's all right to vote for the popular man but we need officers who aspire to do something toward advancing the ma terial conditions of the county. One of the best ways to advance the ma terial conditions of the countv is to build Rood roads. If your m,an is not in favor of good roads he is a back number and does not deserve your vote • • • That Greenwood lynching has not aroused the ire of the people. In fact a large per cent, of the people are either condoning the affair or saying nothing altout it. The murder of a man by a mob is not excusable in the sigh* of God or the law. It matters not what awful crime the wretch may have committed when a mob takes the law into its own hands it is wrong. There is no excuse for such conduct and every man who takes part in such an affair is as much a violator of .Hie law as the wretch they lynch. This particular mob not onlv outraged the law they are expected to uphold but tho\ insulted the governor of the State and the officers of tln ir county by their cowardly behavior. There is nothing brave or noble in a gang of white brutes sending into eternity the sou) of a black- brute. Such people cannot he trusted to uphold the law when the law needs to he upheld. If we ever expect to r^ach the pinacleof civilization we must do away with this rule of the mob. There is only one way to do that and that is to put men in charge who have the grit to defend the law or die in the attempt. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

PLEASED WITH PROHIBITION. Broad River Association Declares Pro hibition a Success in Cherokee. Blacksburg, Aug. 18.—In a strong speech before the Broad River Baptist association, following a report com mitting the body to the advocacy of prohibition, the Rev. F. C. Hickson made a striking speech against the dispensary. He declared that the statement that prohibition does not prohibit in Chero kee is false.

Griggs, chair man of the Democratic Congressional committee, with the request to pub lish. The loyal Democrats of Chero kee who are burdened with coin will please make haste to show their loyalty; To all Democratic Voters: If there ever was a time in the his tory of the Democratic party for the manifestation of loyalty and patrio tism on the part of its members, it is right now. If we are to win a victory and elect a President two years hence, wo must first elect a House of Representatives this fall. A Democratic House can and will investigate every department of the government. With all of them honeycombed by “graft,” the edges of which, only, have been touched by recent exposure and prosecutions, there will he a revelation of rotten ness that will astound the country and er«ate a demand for a Democratic ad ministration to clean the government workshop. To win the House "'e need money to defra:> legitimate expenses and Ret out our vote. We have no protected monopolies from which to draw to fill our coffers, as do those of the Republican party.

Miss Edna Bn vn. of Ravenna, who for the past year has been ass iciated with The Bitterv as saleslady has severed h r connection with that firm to accept a similar position with Car- roll & Byers. the Palmetto tree stamped on them. He declared that Gaffney has had real prohibition. The man who ar gues that because the prohibition laws are sometimes broken, they ought be given up. is either a fool or else he is dishonest. To hold any such position is to subvert the fundamental princi ples of law. When good laws are vio lated let the violators he punished. When Tillman goes over South Carolina and savs prohibition is a failure, he becomes a dangerous citi zen and aids in subverting law. This sentiment evoked hearty “Amens!” from the men in the crowd ed throng. “No man.” declared the speaker forcefully, "is a friend to law when he 1 always talking down law. If you sav prohibition is a failure you are a fool for saying it. If it is a failure why ar^ vou so busy talking down a failure?” He excoriated unmercifully some unnamed candidate in the county who is using liquor to secure his elec tion. After other addresses Mr. Hickson offered the following resolution which was adopted by the rising vote of the entire body: : Pleased With Prohibition. “Resolved, That this association is highly pleased with tin* results of this county’s having voted out the dispen sary from the county, and puts itself on record as regarding the present situation as that of real prohibition.” This is a county in which the Bap tists are very strong and the enthusi astic and unanimous attitude of the Baptist association of the county against the dispensary and in favor of tin* present situation is very pleas ing to the friends of temperance. V. I. M. WAS DETERMINED TO PREACH. Rev. B. P. Robertson Forsook Busi ness for Ministry. (Baltimore Sun.) Rev. B. P. Robertson pastor of Ful- 1 ler Memorial Baptist church, who has I surpassed this summer the success which he met last summer in conduct ing the Fnite.. Evangelistic campaign. I entered the mp strv against the will I of his father. w..o had mapped out an I inviting business career for him. From earliest childhood he had ! been an enthusiastic worker |- his 1 Sunday school, and had cherished : ho” 0 of a ministerial life. Wheji i only seventeen years old he was. a 1 teacher in the Bible class. While at- ! tending a convention to which he had | been sent as a delegate, he determin- j ed to step out for himself, and study fo- the ministry, in spite of parental objections. In deciding on this he was hacked by Mr. A. P. Abell, a whole-sale merchant of Greenville. S. C.. who was chairman of the conven tion. Until that time Rev. Mr. Robertson had received education only in the nuhlic schools of Tigersville. S. C., his native town. At the age of nineteen Rev. Mr. Robertson entered the high pchool at Greer. S. C. t and while there began his studies for the ministry. After a yea»- there he began tr teach school. I” the fall of 1884 he entered Jttdson College, Hendersonville, N. C.. where he spent five years and was graduated with the degree of master of arts. During his college course he did out side work of many sorts to earn his expenses. When he finally pulled through he owed no one a cent. He had the further satisfaction of winning the medal in an oratorical contest. Next he spent three years at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, at Louisville, Ky.. graduat- with the degree of master of the ology. His enthusiasm for preaching in creased apace with his knowledge, and in one summer he conducted a series of evangelistic meetings in his native county, at which he baptized 150 persons, including two of his brothers and many of his old play mates and acquaintances. During the next vacation he established at Ti gersville one of the first Baptist associational high schools in the South. Even before his professional ministry had begun, he had to his credit a record so good that at gradu ating, in 1802. three churches wanted him for pastor. He chose the one that happened to be in his native State, at Gaffney, S. (’.. although the salary there was smaller than that offered by the others. Few men have had brisker weeks than tliat. which began with his grad uation. He feceived his diploma on Thursday, Sunday he accepted his first call and the next, Tuesday he was married. His wife was Miss M. Ida The Canny Scot. United States Senator Clark of Montana, who has .a smise of humor, once attended a dinner of scientific men, and in a little speech told this story: "Science is an admirable thing. In these latter days, indeed, it is a thing as interesting and marvelous as a fairy-tale. 1 hi ve only one fault to find with it—it embues some of its votaries with too profound a zeal. I have in my mind a scientific zealot of Scotland—a professor whose espe cial delight was insects and hugs. “There once visited this Scottish , . , professor a younger scientist. The a .

Noo, mon, can ye say ’twas onything at all noteworthy thot hit ye?’ “ ‘Fleas. 1 think,’ said the other, ‘But such Hens for Idling I never met in niv life before!’ “‘I should think so. indeed!’ said the professor in great glee. 'They’re Sicilian ileas. I imported them myself.’ ” Mr. and Mrs. Rob* i- Lip'( <)!* !>, of •• Murfreesboro, Ti*nn.. ■a re i a 1 ,* r* t ’ t in (lie guests of Mr. 1 il tsconil "s ■t ie'\ Mrs. Allle Lipscomb. on Viet orj a 8 v- t emu*. ani Misses Rosa Lilth* and Ann Gaff ney attended the a 'Socr. io i in vis Blacksburg last " < *• :• rat City Schools en S**pt. 4. the Two weeks from today the schools of the city commence tln ir work for the session of I'.mfi-'nT.

(Kansas City Independent.) “The physical examination of new ixdicemen often furnishes a lot of amusement,” remarked Chief of Po- ! lice Hayes the other day while in a ! reminiscent mood. “Catch questions j don't go. of course, hut everv now | and then they are asked by way of a i josh. I remember a young fellow— I he’s now a sergeant—who fell into a I trap the prettiest you ever saw. The j doctor had examined him up and down c id all around, and then declar ed that, he would make a test, of his hearing. Taking a watch out of his pocket, with a wink ai nte. he said, 'Do you hear that tick?’ “ ‘Yes. perfectly,’ the young man answered. “He held it a toot f'om the appli cant's etr. “‘S'ill hear it?' k»* asked. “‘Yes. sir.' “ ‘Now stand ba<S; tb’ei* paces.’ "Th > i P ’ so. “ ‘Nov ' s'*! tlu- examiner, ’do you j hear it . t * : d'skine'*?’ “T.i n • ■ K-tf-rod intently, j Then ,ie v ‘ ' rad nodded. “■You have tin* most wonderful ’’earing I eve came : cross.’ sola the , mine r ‘That watch has not been ! running for taree weeks.’” Why the Convict Loved the Rat. a a o.i.'tv of estimable won c*n who made a tour of the pris ons in New Jersy.” said Representa tive Hugh s. c f Paterson. “They wen* investigating to see what thev could do to relieve the hard lot of convicts.

In eight years Rev Mr. Robertson tripled the size of his congregation there. He became pastor of Fuller Memo rial church in 1901. Since that time the congregation has grown so L& size and wealth that at present it is erect ing a fine stone edifice at Fulton ave nue and Winchester street. The old building at Carev and Baker streets became inadequate and has been sold. While In Baltimore Rev. Mr. Robert son established the Maryland Baptist, of which Rev. W. J. Webb Is the edi tor. What will stand as one of the most important of his achievments is the record of good accomplished under his management by the United Evan gelistic campaign. In conducting this work Rev. Mr. Robertson spends reg ular hours each day at. his office in the Central Young Men’s Christian Association building. Since he has been in the citv Rev. Mr. Robertson has been studying at the George Washington University. Already he has received from there the degree of master of arts, and now he is pursuing a course for the doctor- of-phllosophy degree. Recently three calls have been ex tended to Rev. Mr. Robertson from out-of-town churches. It is probable that he will decide to leave the city. Until iilans for the new church build- in - had matured he would not consid er any offers to leave. Now he be lieves he can find a broader field else where. In’ the Discharge of Duty, (Greenville Moutaineer.) In the fearless discharge of his du ty a man makes enemies. Stick is the experience of Mr. J. C. Otts. now a candidate for the senate from Chero kee county. Mr. Otts was one of the prosecuting attorneys in the famous George Hasty case and incured the hitter enmity of some persons because tie did all in his newer to see lustiee meted out to a double-murderer. These people are following him about offering insults at the county cam paign meetings now in progress. But none of these contemptible things disturb him. Here is a chance for the good citizens of Cherokee to re buke such vileness h - sending this courageous man to the senate, and this would not in the least reflect up on the honorable gentleman who is his opponent. Such men are needed in Col it ml)la. His First Assignment, The late Amos Cummings, of New York, used to toll this story of his first asigiynent as a newspaper re porter. He was sent out to write up an accident where an Irish hod-carrier was injured in a fall from a building. He arrived just as two officers were assisting the injured man into an am bulance. “What’s his name?” asked Cum mings of one of the officers, at the same moment pulling out his pad and pencil. The Irishman heavi him. and mis taking him for the timekeeper on the Job, exclaimed, with a look of dis gust covering his face. "Isn’t it throuble enough t’ fall three sthorles from a buildin’ wldout bein’ docked f’r th’ few momints Ol lose goUT t’ tb’ hospital?” MANAGERS OF ELECTION The following named gentlemen have been appointed managers of the primary election to he held on the 28th instant: Allens—W.
