It would be some satisfaction to know there was no delay in pun ishing the man whose heart was so black as to commit such a crime as that of Tuesday. * # ♦ We are pained to note the demise of ‘Editor Paul Price, of Columbia. We did not always agree with him. We have very many times thought him wrong. Put ho was a man of conviction, an honest man. and he dared write what he believed to lie right, whether it struck the popular cord or not. All honor to his memory. The State of South Carolina is the richer for his having lived and the poorer because of his going away. * * * We again call the attention of our readers to our doll offer. We are In ■earnest about this matter. Our ob ject. is to enlist. ,he aid of the little folks in extending the usefulness of The Ledger.

With no dispensary in the county we have been bragging about our goodness no little and now com* s the bloodiest record in our history and our own beloved Cherokee is the scene of the most diabolical crime ever committed in the State. Some times it makes us sick at heart and we despair that the people will ever he rid of criminals. Put let us take on new hope, remembering that it Is only the vicious and ungodly who commit such wanton crime, and strive r much harder to sot a good exam- p 1 and to teacli our fellowman that such deeds are wrong and that He who rules above will mete out jus tice to wayward humanity. ’leveland, who wrote to >f the Columbia State a To tbe Editor of Th • S “Py perpetuating the 111 •areer of Wade Ifampto:: ‘lini honors herself. 1 e entire South hows titling appreciation of the eon t.iney and devotion of its (listing lished I ader in ti.ne < l strife and Its vise and sympathetic irieml ia the lays of the pacification, while the ntv, ion is reminded i «)f hi splendid H ustration of the host A inwiean traits. “Grover Cleveland.

Mr. Bowman says we should have investigated his con cern before saying what we did. We wish to assure both these men that we have no purpose to misrepresent them. Our infor nation was secured from a proper source, and while we are aware that it does not present their side of tin* case, still it is the truthful side and we have nothing to retract The anicl s in question simply related facts, potent facts, concerning these two men. They were matters of news and we handled them just as w>> would any other news item. If they desire to make state ments we accord them the use of our columns for that purnosc. the only thing we ask is that they do not take advantage of this offer to advertise their business. These two eases are distinctly separate, have no c itinect- non whatever, save that both m 11 complain that we have not been alto gether fair to them. A Card of Thanks.

A corpulent man with a red face w nt to Coney Island on Sunday from the Putli Peach section of Brooklyn, says the New York Sun, and sat in a cross seat of an open 1 car in front of tw'o stout German I women. In searching for a niekle to Pay Ills fare, the stout man dropped \ a quarter, which rolled almost under ihe dress of one of the women. He | realized that he might make a spec tacle ol himseli and also might offend : the woman if he attempted to pick i up the quarter, so he decided to wait j until she and her fri nd got out, I mean while taking an oceasinol glance I at the coin. The women found them | selves at their station unexpectedly, I and in their htirrv to get out one knocked her handkerchief, which j was weighed with soineihing, 011 the bach of the man’s seat. A corner of the handkerchief dropped, letting out. a shower of jingiling silver. The owner kneeled and began collecting | the coin, while her friend urged her to hurry. The man gave a sigh of relief after the woman got up with out having noticed his quarter. Just then, however, the other woman, ob served it, and said: "Katrine, you haf not all clot schange got. I^ook, dere vas a kewarter.” Katrine, with an effort, stopped and picked up the quarter, and she and her friend rush ed out of the car. The stout man, whq saw the futility of protest under the peculiar circumstances, cursed his gallantry and his embonpoint. Famous Strike Breakers. The most famous strike breakers in the land are Hr.

SPED PIT LIFE —That’s what a prominent Iruggist said of Scott’s Kmulsion a short time ago. As a rule we don’t use or refer to testimonials iu addressing the public, !;ut the above remark and i m i 1 a r expressions are nnde so often in connec- ; ion with Scott’s Emulsion hat the}’ are worthy of oasional vote. From infancy to old age Scott’s iCm ul si on offers a reliable means of remedying im proper and weak develop ment, restoring lost flesh and vitality, and repairing waste. The action of Scott’s Emulsion is no more of a secret than the composition of the Emul sion itself. What it does it does through nourish ment—the kind of nourish ment that cannot be ob tained in ordinary food. No system is too weak or delicate'to retain Scott’s Emulsion and gather good from it. , FOR SALE.
