SEWERAGE.
The most vital question which con
fronts the people of our city is that
of sewerage. It will not be long un
til our people will be called upon to
vote upon this question, and while
some opposition to the measure may
nafcurally be expected, it should carry
by an overwhelming majority. A
sewerage system for Gaffney would
not only help the property owners of
the city, but now at a time when the
demand for labor is hardly normal,
large numbers of the laboring claso
mav secure employment in putting
in the system. Skilled labor will be
needed on some phases of the work,
and every cent of the money to be
used in the enterprise except what is
necessary for material will be ex
pended and put into circulation
amongst the laboring class and
through the laboring class into the
hands of our merchants, so that its
benefits can hardly be estimated. It
is the duty of every citizen who is in
terested in the growth of Gaffney to
support the measure with all of his
energy; because the town of Gaffney
cannot dfcand still; it must either go
forward or backward, and if the
sewerage project should be defeated
our little city will have taken such
a long step backward that ft would
take years and years to recover.
notes and comments.
There was a most enthusiastic
meeting of Gaffney’s Board of Trade
Tuesday night. Committees vrere ap
pointed and steps taken which will
make this organization felt in the fu
ture growth of our city. The Board
of Trade has been no small factor in
the upbuilding and betterment of our
little city, and let each and every
member of the organization resolve
thav. 1909 shall be the banner year of
our progress.

The General Assembly of our
State will convene at Columbia
next Tuesday, and the most im-
of our State will convene at Colum
bia next Tuesday, and the most im
portant question to be discussed is
that of whiskey. This paper has al
ways advoeaied prohibition, and
since we have seen the good which
has resulted in our own town and
community in getting rid of the dis
pensary, we are more than ever in
favdr of the measure and we hope
that the law-making body will enact
such legislation as will result in
driving the legal sale of whiskey
from a State which before the ad
vent of the dispensary was noted for
her pride.
LIBERTY AND LAW.
Substance of Dr. CarlltU’s Sermon
At Buford Street.
The following remarks upon Dr.
Carlisle’s sermon at the Buford
Street Methodist church Sunday
should have appeared in Tuesday’s
issue, but the manuscript was re
ceived too late for that paper. How
ever, it is none the less interesting
and forceful on account of the delay:
The text was a double one, Judges
xxi: 25 and Matt. vi:10. The first
presents a state when there was no
law, the second sets before us the
ideal toward which God is discipling
us, \he perfect obedience to the per
fect law. With this contrast in mind
there was presented a study of
Liberty and Law. That there is pre
valent a wide-spread disposition to
disregard law is evident to all. It is
shown in the open teaching of atheis
tic and anarchistic philosophy; in the
mob violance in all sections of the
land; in the open violation of law by
the liquor people; and in other no
torious ways too numerous to men
tion. It is easy to see how such a
spirit of opposition to restraint has
arisen. Study the national history,
and we find the American nation had
its beginning in the revolt of the
colonies and their asseition of in
dividual rights. The dominant French
philosophy of that day, strong in its
influence on the young nation, was
an individualism of the extreme type,
the ideal State is a State of absolute
individual freedom. The result of
the war between the States was the
triumph o fjust such an emphasizing
of the individual value as against the
class ideals of the South. Then for
fifty years there has been pouring in
to our land thousands of immigrants
—men and women in the rebound
from restraint and oppression and
superstition. Such naturally are
against law and regard liberty as
lawlessness and freedom to do as
they please.
But liberty is not lisense to do ac-
cordng to the individual impulse.
Liberty rests on law. Both rest on
the fact of the divine Lawgiver whose
enactments for His people are based
on His own great existence, "for I am
the Lord thy God.” Therefore men
were to be free from oppresion. The
prophetic picture of peace and pros
perity is based on the same principle
of obedience to law aud ‘he freedom
of conscience and Christian liberty
which Jesus gives rests on the # act
of the supreme dominion "One ns!
your master, even Christ.” Liberty 1
and law always go together for per
fect liberty is only found in perfect
obedience. This is illustrated in
many familiar ways. So long as the
laws of body are not violated we
have bodily freedom. So of mind;
so of soul. We can’t get away from j
law; we can only conform to law or
oppose it.
The righteous law-abiding citizen
never feels the restraint of law. HeJ
moves in its great lines and he is the'
true freeman. The vicious and wick
ed are restless because of the law.
They feel its great crossing of their
self-will and selfish actions. Every
free man has the right to seek the
best for himself unhindered. No
man has any right to seek evil for
himself or others. The law at once
becomes operative against him.
We must learn the lesson of law
as of liberty. There is need in the
home of parental authority and of
filial obedience. Too little of both
is apparent.
The schools must deal with the
fundamental principles of self-con
trol and self-mastery. We must have
teachers who exemplify these quali
ties, and the higher character in
their own lives.
The church must insist on the res
traints of the divine authority; and
then from home and school and
church we must go to work out the
highest liberty by the deepest rever
ence for the law.
Mr. and Mr*. Lipscomb Entertain.
The following from The Evening
News, Roanoke, Va., January 4th:
“Wedneeday afternoon at their
home on Clarke avenue, Mr. and Mrs.
William Oscar Lipscomb entertained
a large number of friends at a charm
ing reception, and in the evening
they again entertained in honor of
their daughter, Miss Elma Lipscomb,
and their son, Mr. Meng Lirjcomb.
The entire lower floor of the hand
some home was thrown open, and
was prettily decorated with patted
plants and cut flowers. A stringed
orchestra rendered beautiful select
ions throughout the afternoon and
evening as scores of guests thronged
the house.
"Misses Estelle and Lucille Lips
comb received the guests at the door
and ushed them into the parlors,
where Mr. and Mrs. Lipscomb, Miss
Lipscomb and Mr. Meng Lipscomb
received.
“In the afternoon the ladies assist
ing in looking after the comfort and
pleasure of the guesis were Miss
Pauline Massie, Miss Wortham and
Mrs. A. B. Antrim. In the dinirg-
room were Misses Mozelle Williams,
Winifred Burnett, Elizabeth and An

The Way of the World.
(W. B. Wilson, in the B. of L. E.
Journal for January, 1909.)
“Laugh, and the world laughs with
you,
Weep, and you weep alone,”
Fo> earth has no sorrow
That heaven can no. own.
Sing, and the hills will answer.
Sigh—it is lost in the air;
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you,
Grieve, and they’ll turn and go;
They want your full measure of pleas
ure,
But they do not want your woe.
Be glad and your friends are many
Be sad, aud you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nec-
tared wine
But alone you must drink life’s gal!.
Feast, and your halls are crowded.
Fast, and the world passes you by;
Succeed and give, and it helps you
live,
But there's no man can help you die!
There’s room in the hall of pleasure
For a large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
Mr. Broom Is Pleased.
Mr. Ed. H. DeCamp,
Gaffney, S. C.
Dear Sir:—Please allow me to
thank you for the watch that was
given me by The Ledger. It is cer
tainly fine. I thank my friends for
helping me in the contest and I know
they will not regret the money they
have spent for the paper. I am
much pleased with the watch and I
am always ready to work for The
Ledger.
Yours,
W. M. Broom.

In Interest of Cherokee’s Minerals.
Mr. L. U. Campbell, of the Flint
Hill gold mine, left yesterday for an
extended trip West, East and North.
He goes in the interest of mining
and other Cherokee industires. For
twenty-two years "Lucy” Campbell
has been working and talking the
minerals of Cherokee. He has had
much to do with developing the
monazite industry in this section.
Recently he has interetfied some
capitalists in the Flint Hill gold
mine, which is now being developed.
He has always been enthusiastic
about Cherokee’s minerals and is
still enthusla&ic about them. He has
plans on foot for a wider and more
extensive development of our min
erals, and everybody who knows him
will wish his venture success.
The word “Yankee” is derived
from a Cherokee word, Eankke,
which signifies coward and slave.
This epithet of “Yankee” was bestow
ed upon the New Englanders by the
Virginians for not assisting them In
a war with the Cherokees.
