Southern Wealth.
During the past six years the total
, exports of raw cotton from the United
$2,071,000,000. This is equal to 23
Per cent, of our total exports in that
period. In addition to cotton the
South contributes largely to th<* vol
time of other exports, and it is a safe
estimate that from 27 to 30 D er cent, of
all the exports from the United StHes
since 1000 have originated south of
Mason and Dixon’s line. Considering
that the population of the cotton pro
duflng States do not comprise over 16
Per cent, of the total of the UntMd

j furnishing nearly twice its propor-
i tionate share of exports, and per con-

sections There is no mystery about
j the South’s prosperity. It stands as
the most favored section of the Un
ion today and. best of all. it is pro
grossing along solid and substantial
lines. When the South begins to at

Don some of the older Middle and
North Atlantic States will have to

of what may he anticipated Ip the

Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop
ular People and Short Items of
that Section,
Wilkinsville, Oct. 12.—We have a
good many cases of sickness this week
to report. Mr. and Mrs. Wade Prid-
more are both in bed with bilious
fever. Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Poole are
both unwell and Mr S. F. Estes has
had a severe attack this week. Mrs.
John Poole and child have chills, and
there is no end to the other complica
tions we hear of. Miss Rebecca
Howe, of Hickory Grove, is lying very
low, with no prospect of recovery.
What effect the recent Frosts will
have on the state of health is a mat
ter of cojecture with many who claim
to know. We do not. Mr. James G.
Garner, whose name we frequently
mention and cite as authority, says
that the reason Mrs. Jeff George’s
family, who live at the Granny Me
Kown place, have had so much sick
ness of late years is on account of
the large oak tree which once stood
near her well being cut down several
years ago. The roots rotted out. thus
forming aqueducts by which the sur
face water is conveyed into the well.
This is good logic, whether it is the
real cause or not. Mr. George also
says that a tree has just as many roots
as it has limbs, except the bush, and
it has about four times as many.
Mr. F. A. Goforth attended the meet
ing of the farmers’ association at Or
angeburg last week and returned home
Tuesday ver/ unwell, and called in
the doctor to treat his case. He is,
we are Klad to say, much better now.
Mr. Robert E. Enloe, of Wilkins
ville. has been in this section this
week running a mower—cutting hay
and peavines.
The Wilkinsville ginnery, which has
had a breakdown for several days,
started yesterday and is now doing
^ood work.
Our friend and neighbor, Mr. W. C.
Kirby, happened to an accident last
Tuesday which came near bein" a se
rious affair, and it was very painful,
too. He had a piece of the oil mill
machinery he was hauling to roll off
the wagon and strike him on the head,
cutting a severe gash and knocking
him senseless for a while. Mr. Geo.
Lemaster. who was near by. came to
him and gave him such assistance as
he could render. However, he (Mr.
Kirby) made his trip on to Gaffney,
whither he had started, and then got
neccessarv medical attention, and he
is doing very well, we are informed.
Mr. James G. Garner and vour cor
respondent made a trip to Gaffnev yes
terday on business, and while there
Mr. Garner was attacked with a
‘'buck ague,” which rendered ’aim un
able to return home until late in the
afternoon. We reached home at 9
o’clock P. M.. .and your corespondent
had the mishap to fall over the wagon
tongue and picked himself un with a
skinned shin, a sprained wrist, a
mashed thumb and a bloody face. Of
course Mrs. J. L. S. and Miss Ethel
were on the spot almost in a trice
and rendered such assistance as wo
man’s love and ingenuity suggested
by using camphor, vaseline, spirits of
turpentine and such other rubifacients
as promised the most instantaneous
relief. Perhaps many of our readers
wilj he interested to know how this
mishap took place and “it’s up to your
correspondent to explain;” Yester
day morning as we went on. Aleck
Parker came out and. knowing your
correspondent to be such a pronounc
ed prohibition, applied to Mr. Garner
to bring him (Parker) a package from
the express office, and said a friend
o;i our wav would write an order for
its delivery. Of course the fruitful
imagination of the readers will supply
the rest of the tale. However, we
don’t want these pro-dispensary fel
lows, and especially John Estes. Ben
McCulloch, Vassey Comer, Tillet (Por
ter) Hartford and Ross Bratton to
know .anything about it But if they,
or anv of them do. we hope they will
excuse ns and sav nothing about it.
Tlie fun of it is Mrs. J. L. S. ( don’t
believe we ever had a jug of liquor in
our wagon, much leas drank an/ of it.
This is wifelike; in ninety-nine cases
out of one hundred a man’s wife has
more confidence in him than anybody
e!se.
Ignorance is no crime only when it
is made such by - man making an ass
of himself by trying to appear extra
ordinarily smart. Some of the best
people we have are uneducated men
and women who can't read nor write
their names. But to hear a man who
has never even learned Webster’s
blue Ixack spelling hook as far a« ba
ker. abase or botany, trying to use big
words to explain little things to make
It appear that ho is well up on the
sciences makes us feel sick. For in
stance. we once heard one of those
smart Alecks speaking to an admir
ing crowd about “dehorning” cittle,
instead of telling them to cut or
knock a cow’s horns off. He and his
crowd of hearers knew as little about
whit “dehorning” a cow meant as "de
tailing” a cow. But is set him up In the
estimation of his hearers as a man of
■ reat learning and Ideas all the name
—the big word was perhaps the win
ning card. We know another man
(personally) who at the beginning of
"the fanners’ movement” thought
there was an opening for him. He
attended nearly every meeting he
could get to and took a prominent Dart
in discussing the various subjects
brought before it. We heard this same
fellow in speaking of the different
species of wheat ca’l the grain “ber
ries," when at the same time he
would speak of & “year’’ of corn in
stead of calling it an ear. But this
had no effect in disqualifying him
from representing his county in the
legislature (but it was not this county
nor any part of it). Whoever heard
of a grain of wheat or corn being
called a berry before? We knew a
nreaeher once who had a penchant for
picking np big words and using them
when he thought the meaning would j
fit. On one occasion he was at a |
neighbor’s house who was having a
stone chimney built. The mason call
ed for a large rock which he wanted
to put in a certain place. Dolph Har
mon. a well educated ante helium
school teacher, was present. Dolph
was considered authority on all mat
ters pertaining to his calling, and
anything he said was noted as good
grammar. It took four or five men to
lift the rock and the preacher and
Dolph were two of them. When the
mason put it in its place it was a
perfect fit, and Dolph remarked that
It fit. “superextically.” In his very’
next discourse the ^readier used the
very same word, much to the amuse
ment and disgust of his more intelli
gent hearers. We do not make these
allusions in any spirit of ridicule to
ward the uneducated people with
whom we come in contact almost ev
ery clay It would be ungenerous, as
well as unjust, to do so. even if we
were capable of criticising other peo
ple’s short-comings. It is only to
checkmate that class of bigots whose
biass outweighs their brains, and who
set themselves tip as leaders of those
whose gullibilitv Is at their command.
Some of the best men and women we
have are uneducated. Many of them
can neither road nor write; yet they
take their places in the great arena of
life and play their parts with com
mendable acumen by never attempt
ing to go beyond the limit of their
ability. This class in a great meas
ure is the very backbone of our coun
try. Largely thev are bread-winners
for their more fortunate neighbors
ami they deserve our thanks, our
sympathy and our most fervid friend
ship.
We were glad to meet our good
old friend, Mr. Pink Hollis, at Gaff
ney yesterday. He Is a jolly fellow
and a well read man. He has Aesop’s
fable« by heart and can quote many
other authors with the same ease.
Like our friend T. Davenport, he is
a specific remedy for blues.

Timeg Have Changed.
(Home and Farm.)
Many years ago those who lived on
farms were content to have the scrub
cow and oxen, the dunghill fowl and
thn razor-back- hog.
Farmers knew of nothing better,
and doubtless there was nothing bet
ter. considering the attention given
them. They had been hardened to
exposure and no amount of exposure
would kill them. The cows and hogs
would stand out in the rain and cohl.
and the fowls would roost in the tops
of trees; none of them appeared to
he the worse from it, hut yet. all of
them were hut items of expense if all
costs were considered during the
year. The cows gave but little milk,
tlie hogs were slow to mature and the
h n 1- did not lav maijv eggs.
As time passed and farmers began
to study the profitable side of farm-
itig. there came a change aiul the
mongrel gradually gave way to the
thoroughbred: cattle, hogs, horses and
poultry of today are practically new
creations developed to fill a (Jemand

had known before.

One Will be Established at Central
Graded School.
The Ledger had a very pleasant
visit from Mr. Speer, the principal of
the Centra) graded school, last Fri
day afternoon. Mr. Speer is very en
thusiastic in his work and is exhibit
ing a profound interest in the success
of the school. He is au exceedingly
affable gentleman, of pleasing address
and win doubtless prove a valuable
acquisition to the citizenship of the
community. Speaking of the effort to
establish a school library here Mr.
?• eer said:
“During the past week a modest be
ginning has been- made toward se
curing a library for the Central school.
The response made by the friends of
education has been most gratifying
to all connected —the work. The
pupils seem interested and enthusias-
t’~ In the effort, a condition promising
the ultimate success of the move
ment.
“Manv have contributed and many
doubtless have not had an onnortu-
nitv through the inability of the so
liciting of pupils to see them. To
such I am glad to announce that The
Ledger has kindly consented to re
ceive such contributions and also do-
nafi- iis of suitable books a r,r1 maga
zines or publications of any kind that
can be used in a library of this de
scription.
“A beginning has been made. An
order win he sent out next week. In
this order w e hope to include hooks
for all pupils, from the primary grades
through the high school—nature sto
ries. geographical and historical read
ers. biographies and books of travel
a few standard reference works, and
a limited amount of carefully selected
fiction.
“The use of the library will be
under the supervision of th'- teach
ers. who will use their best efforts to
cultivate a love of good, wholesome
readin 0 - in the minds of the pupils.
No part of education is of more Im
portance than this. It is a wel' known
fact that tasts acquired during the
formative period of youth cling to
their possessor through life. If our
children can be aided in the acquisi
tion of a desire for that which is pure
and beautiful in literature, a few hun
dred dollars invested in books will pay
tb'> richest of dividers.
“It is not necessary that even that
much should be contributed at. once.
From the beginning made, and the
kindly interest shown so generally. It
is believed that within a few days the
fund will he sufficiently large for pres
ent purposes. It is offered as a sug

Work of a Miscreant.
Some evil minded person went into
the Limestone Mill Saturday after
noon after 5 o'clock and slashed the
big belt which drives the machinery
in the carding and spinning rooms.
Superintendent Cash has an idea as
to who the miscreant is. and yester
day had a warrant sworn out for the
susnect. This is a dastardly niece of
business and if the proper '•‘‘rson is
apprehended he should be severely
dealt with.
