WHICH SHALL IT BE? Sometime ago the Messrs. Mont gomery, of Spartanburg, made a most liberal offer looking to the crea tion of an endowment for Limestone College. One broad-minded and pub lic-spirited citizen of Gaffney made a most liberal offer in the same con nection. Dr. Lodge, the efficient head of the institution, is culling loudly for more room In order to accommo date the increased patronage. As we remarked in these columns a few days ago, no institution of this char acter can reman at a standstill; it must either go forward or backward. Limestone College is a great insti tution tor Gaffney; and can the peo ple of Gaffney afford to let this grand old institution, which has such a glorious history—where so fnany of our mothers and other relatives were educated—perish fur the want of a few paltry dollars? Sureiy aot! AflKl yet if something is not done and that speedily, the downward movement will commence, and in a few years all that will remain of Limestone will be a memory. We believe that the citizens of Gaffney, irrespective of denomination, are proud of Limestone College and of her glorious history; and we haven t a doubt but that at the proper time, they will embrace the exceed ingly liberal proposition above re ferred to and rally to her support. WAR WITH JAPAN. We have up to this time regarded the President of the United States as a brainy, honest man; though belli gerent to a considerable degree. But the president in sending a large fleet to the Pacific ocean at this time is either ignorant of the dire conse quences which such action may have, or for some reason he Is anxious to Involve the United States In a war with Japan. It is recognized by all the peopP- in the United States who are at all informed upon cur rent events, that the relations of Japan and the United States are at this time strained almost to the breaking point and to send a fleet of war vessels to the Pacific at such a time is like waving a crimson rag at a mad bull. The Japanese are a pe culiar people, they are apt to take of fense where none is meant. This fact is well known by every one who has ever had any dealings with this people. Mr. Roosevelt knows this is so, and knowing it his object in send ing the fleet is ar challenge which every well Informed Amercian citizen will expect the Japanese to accept. Some of the Northern papers say that we have a right to send our fleet to the Pacific for practicq. Practice, bah! We could practice nearer home; besides under the circum stances we have no right to send the fleet there if sending it would be liable to precipitate a clash with Japan. The law says; If you have trouble with a man, you b..ould a\< i him; at any rate you should not go into his neighborhood and defy him, for then the difficulty will hi** r brought about by your fault. We said when Mr. Roosevelt was elected that we regarded him as a brainy but dangerous man. We more than ever regard him as a dangerous man. Of course Congress will nave to declare war If war there is, numbers of Northern papers say that Congress will not dare to refuse to declare war should the President tel It to do so. Well, we shall see. NOTES AND COMMENTS.

There seems, to be some mis apprehension on the part of some as to the object of the union, and for the benefit of Ledger readers we will say that we have been permitted to read the preamble and constitution of the order and must say that we can dis cover nothing therein mat should alarm anyone. On the other hand the principles set forth are noble and patriotic and, If carried out, should he the meang of uplifting the agricultural interests of the country. Every other calling or profession, has its organization and It Is only right and proper that organsation should be met with organization. A better understanding is thus created and as equity seems to be the goal at which the Farmers Educational and Co-operative Union aims, It should be welcomed with open arms [ rather than with opposition. The Ledger wishes it that measure of success which It may merit by con servative management and due con- ! slderation to all mankind. • • • During the year 1^94, or '95, the writer while riding on a train be tween Greensboro and Raleigh^ N- C., , noticed on the seat in which he was Fo P the Week Endin a 8 A- M-.

Pins were introduced In the teenth century. Then they were costly and highly prized as gifts A paper of pins was more accepta ble than a bouquet. An act was passed m 1543 making it illegal to charge more than eight pence a thousand for metal pins. Persons of quality often used pins made of boxwood, bone and silver, v bile the poor put up with wooden skewers. In those davg husbands were often surprised at the great amount of mm oy that went for pins; hence the term “p'n money.’’ Not so many years ago the frugal tmerfnon housewife was wont to teach otn economy bv teaching her children that canny couplet, "See a pin and nick it up. and all the day you’ll have good luck.'’ R.E50LVED THAT GARtMNTS SHOULD BE ALL WOOL IF PEOPLE WHO SELL THE/A ~R> YOU SAY TH£Y ARE.
