NOTES AND COMMENTS- Monday was the beet day that the merchants have enjoyed for Quite a while. There was a large crowd m town and trade was brisk at all the ■teres. The merchants who had been looking gloomy so long were smiling and looking happy. The Ledger hopes for the merchants many such days as Monday. • • • The two Greenwood papers, the Journal and index and the Green ville News have issued handsome Christmas edition which speak well for the enterprise of these progres sive publications. The Ledger ex pects to issue a corker in the way of a Christmas edition next year, if it ha 3 luck. • • * Printers, ag well as other people, are entitled to some recreation, so there will be only one issue of The Ledger next week, that of Tuesday. We are very sure that none of our patrons would desire to see The Led ger force at work while others are enjoying the holidays. The paper will appear on the 31st as usual. • • * It is said in Washington that the rate war between North Carolina and Alabama and the Southern Railway is on the eve of settlement It is said that the railroads have agreed to a passenger rate of 2 1-2 cents per mile, and to sell interchatgable mileage book at two cents per mile. It is to be hoped that the statement is true. It would be a matter of no surprise to us to learn that this same fight between the railroads and the States above named, had a great deal to do with the present financial stringency. • • •' Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkansas,; has broken the record by making a they do not know them. It would probably be as well for other coun ties to await the result In Anderson before adopting the plan, because we feel certain that the first capital case which is called for trial in that county where the defendant has employed able counsel that the legality of this plan will be attacked. A Card. To the Public: I respectfully ask my friends and the public in general, to suspend judgment on the report of the Inves tigating Committee, which I am in formed, will appear in this isstfe of The Ledger, in so far as same affects me unfavorably, until my side of the question can be heard. I repeatedly demanded a hearing before the committee, but same was denied me. I feel confident that I can satisfy the public as to any charges made and will be glad to do bo. The committee informed me that the principle charges are on taxation of costs, and I state here that I never charged a cent that I did not believe the law allowed me. Respectfully, J. Bh* Jefferies, Clerk of Court $ioo Reward, $ioo.

Hall's Catarrh Cure Is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be njr a constitutional disease, requires a constitu tional treatment.

Richard Mansfield, the recently de ceased actor, hired a private secre- tary a few days ago, but was com pelled to discharge him because he could not spell and was otherwise rather lame In the matter of educa tion. wlen the young man had re ceived the notice of his dismissal he went to the actor and asked for an explanation, says the Boston Trans cript ‘‘The fact Is,” he was told, “your education Is too meagre for the requirements of the position.” Greatly offended, the ex-secretary exclaimed: “Why, sir, my parents spent $5,000 on my education.” “Then, my dear boy.” said the ac tor. “I would advise them to Institute proceedings for the recovery or we money. They were swindler' ” Another story told of him was his witty reply to the promoters who came to him for capital to float “the greatest scheme since Col. Sellers’ time.” They painted their prospects in more colors than the rainbow, and their optimistic verbiage was more brilliant than an autumn sunset Mr. Mansfield listened; then asked, with delicious sangfroid: “Do you know why the Lord said to Ananias, ‘Stand forth?’” Upon receiving a negative reply, he said: “Well, I don’t either, unless It was that you three could stand first, second and third.” i Here’ s Good Advice.
