Wle hope our county cc-nvention will select a statesman and send him uninstructed to the State convention. • • • To Colonel Ed DeCamp, of The Gaffney Ledger: Quit trying to tell the farmers how to do it. Provide yourself with forty acres and a mule show them how to do it. The above is from Col. Wade Har ris’ Charlotte Chronicle, and is tol erably good advice, and we’d be de lighted to take it, but the difficulty is tc provide the forty acres and the rnule. i • • • The Columbia State disclaims any purpose to be offensive when It al ludes to those who oppose the nomi nation of Mr. Bryan as assistant Re publicans. but means that .such are unintentionally aiding the selection of the candidate for the Democratic party which the Republicans can the most easily defeat. This may be true, but what puzzles us is “bow come” The State to be so wise? When did it get on the inside of the Republican camp and learn their desires and pur poses? » • • The Ledger is now printed by elec tricity. The linotype machine is run by eletricity, and the press also. The power comes from the Electrical Power and Manufacturing Company’s plant on Broad river, five miles from Gaffney. We believe The Ledger is the first to install electric power in Gaffney except the. Irene Mill and the Water Works plant. At any rate we are very much pleased, In fact joyful, and we invite everybody to come and us and inspect the most complete printing plant to be found in tne United States. That may sound like bragging, but some cie must have the best and we are satisfied Gaffney has it in The Ledger office. • • • 1st, comes as a distinct shock, al though this move on the part of the management of the cotton mills has been expected some time. There is no demand for the product of these institutions, and consequentlv nearly all of them have accumulated large amounts of their product which they cannot sell except at a less price than it cost them to make the goods. Peo ple are now grumbling about hard times, but what we have experienced heretofore will be but a drop in the bucket compared to what will take place in case the mills shut down. There is only one thing so far as we have been able to see which will ob viate the necessity of this step, and that is that the demand for cotton goods will become strong enough be fore July 1st to justify the mills.In running. Just think what wifl be the effect in our town when the mills close down. The monthly pay roll of Gaffney’s cotton mills combined must reach an enormous figure, and we are sorely afraid that when the mills shall have closed down, it will have such a paralyzing effect upon our in dustrial system that the whole fabric will have become disorganized, and where a beautiful system has for years prevailed, we will have con fusion, and we are likely to be threat ened with troubles similar to those which have so often occurred in the north during the last few years. Let us devoutely hope that before July 1st comes the situation will have im proved sufficiently to obviate the necessity of taking a step that is al most sure to be fraught with the gravest danger to our Industrial sys tem.

The Legal Liability of Employers to Employees. Washington, April 25.—Apropos the enactment of an Employers’ Liability Act by Congress, a very interesting treatise on this subject, from the for eign viewpoint, has just been printed by the Department of Commerce and Labor. It is a bulletin entitled “The Legal Liability of Employers for In juries to Their Employees in the United States. Lindley D. Cflark, the author, discusses the most im portant principles of the common law as generally applied to the subject. “In striking contrast with condi tions in the United States, is the pos ition of the foreign workman who is injured by accident in the course of his employment,” writes Mr. Clark. “Practically every foreign country of any importance industrially has by legislation recognized the principal that the workman is entitled to com pensations for injuries from accidents received in the course of his employ ment. Twenty-two foreign states have enacted such legislation. “While there is some variation in the precision of the foreign laws, as to circumstances under which work: men are entitled to compensation, as a rule compensation is not payable unless the injury causes disablement for a specified number of days. “The employer may usually be re lieved from the payment of compen sation If he can prove that the injury was ^caused intentionally or by will ful misconduct, or in some countries, by the gross negligence of the injur ed person, or during the performance of an illegal act. In none of these twenty-two countries does ordinary negligence on the paft of the injured employee work a forfeiture of the right to compensation. “The laws in every case fix the com pensation to be paid. In all the coun tries but Sweden the compensation is based upon the wages of the injur ed person. It consists of medical and surgical treatment and of per iodical allowances for temporary dis ability, and annual pensions or lump sum payment for permanent dis ability or death. “In most countries employees may contract with state or private insur ance for the transfer of the burden oi payment of compensation. In a number of countries such transfer is obligatory. Provision is usually made for the protection of the bene ficiaries in case of insolvency of em ployers. “The acts of nearly all the countries are framed with the view of obviat ing the necessity for instituting legal proceedings. The laws are so spe cific with regard to the compensation allowed and the regulations for its payment that agreements are usnally amicably made between the employ ers and the victims of the accidents. If disputes arise, however, the law specificeg the procedure for their set tlement, either by special arbitration tribunals or by' the ordinary law courts,” MT. PARAN MATTERS- Mis, At the City churches. The attendance at all the city churches was good Sunday. The day was beautiful and bright and all na ture seemed to rejoice, so perfect was the setting. Rev. S. B. Harper, of the Buford Street Methodist church, took for his theme, the resurrection fol lowing up his discourse of Easter. Rev. George R. Ratchford, of the Presbyterian church, spoke some what on the same line, dwelling, however, more on the crucifixion. Dr. Simms, at the First Baptist church, chose as his theme “Man’s part in revealing the divine power and glory.” Rev. D. J. Woodward, who is con ducting a successful meeting at the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church, took for his subject “Saved or Un saved.” Lowe's Madstone Becoming Famous. Yesterday morning three young men from Spartanburg, who had been bitten by a suspicious dog, came to Gaffney to try the virtues of Mr. The North Carolina Press Associa - tion met in Charlotte last Wednes day and Thursday.

Griudall, April 20.—Our egg hunt was not exactly a success, but I guess it was as good as could be expected, owing to the inclement weather. Outsiders pronounced the recita tions very good. As for our part, we enjoyed the phonograph music best. Messrs. Jno. Dixon and D. G. Horn both brought phonographs and both of them are fine machines. There were 106 eggs hidden, but a number of them were never found. William Goudelock, Jno. R. Jefferies and Jessie Wiest tied, each finding ten apiece. Jessie West drew the lucky number and the prize was awarded him. William Goudelock came sec ond to winning the prize last year. William is a good hand to hunt eggs. We have a flourishing Sunday school at Rehoboth and are enrolling new names every Sunday. Sapoch Enetertains—Personal paragraphs. Mt.

A recetft article in the New Orleans Item gives an account of the effect upon the medical profession of that city with regard to L. T. Cooper’s the ory that the human stomach is respon sible for most ill health. The article is as follows: “The astonishing sale of Cooper’s preparation in this city has now reach ed such immense figures that the medi cal fraternity have been forced into open discussion of the man’s theories and medicines. “The physicians seem to be divide with regard to the young man’s suc cess in New Orleans—some being will ing to credit him for what he has ac complished, while others assert that the interest he has aroused is but a passing fad that will die out as quickly as it has sprung up. “In a statement recently obtained from a well-known physician of this city, the position of those in favor of Cooper is well voiced. The doctor said: T am not a believer in proprietary - ' ncs. but I must admit that some of the facts recently brought to myi attention concerning this Cooper medi cine have gone far toward removing the prejudice I had formed against them when I first heard of Cooper's new Ideas and medicines. “’Numbers of my patients whom I have treated for chronic liver, kidney and stomach troubles have met me and stated that Cooper’s medicine has ac complished wonderful results for them. I notice particularly in cases of stomach trouble Dial the man baa relieved several cases that were of years’ standing and proved very ob stinate to treatment. “ ‘I do not wish to stand in the wap of something that may be for the pub lic good, simply through professional prejudice, and I am inclined to give Cooper and his preparations credit as deserving to some extent the popular demonstration that has been accorded them in this city.’ ” We sell the Cooper medicines. They are proving remarkably successful throughout the entire United States, i—Gaffney Drug Co. PINE GROVE PARAGRAPHS. Liet of Unclaimed Letters.
