both the owners of the houses and
the inmates liable to penalty for a
misdemeanor II located in the city
limits, was offered by Root After
some discussion this was passed on

On Thursday the delegation will
have an audience with Speaker Can
non and the leaders in congress and
place their demands before them, in
sisting that congress shall pass an act
creating tariff commission before
the next presidential campaign comes
on. On the following day they will

heretofore has expressed himself to
be.
As a matter of fact these manufac-

this they freely admit. They do not

PrOspectOr Becomes
Raving Maniac

Silvia Harrington, prospector
about As years of age, and one of the
best known men in this section, was
brought in at a late hour Monday
night and given in charge of Sheriff
Davis by three men with whom he
had been living. He is a raving
maniac.
Harrington, who is principally
known here because of periodical
sprees, has always until recently been
considered quite harmless. if not well
balanced mentally. A few nights
since the first outbreak of violent
nature was evident when, it is said.
he threatened to kill his companions.
They, as he grew worse from day TO
day, became more and more fearful
of violence and finally decided to
bring him to Ely that his sanity may
be passed upon.
Harrington's hallucinations are
varied. One moment he will imagine
that he is immensely wealthy and will
direct great public improvements. AT
another he is monarch ruling vast
stretches of country with power of
life or death over the Inhabitants AT
still another he is a hunter of big
game and is shooting all kinds OF
animals around his cell. 1t is in
these moments that he is most dan
gerous. as he sees nothing but game
about him.
II is probable that within the next
few days he will be examined as to
his sanity and sent to the state asy-
lum in case he does not become ra-
tional in the meantime.

Although good weather prevailed to-
day, the vote in the second primary
held throughout the county was not so
large as that in the primary Of two
weeks ago. when there was so much
hinderance on account of rain.
The total vote Of two weeks ago was
1912 and that of today was 3,274. The
falling off is probably due to the fact
that there was a considerable reduction
in the number of candidates, and a
consequent curtailment in interest,

mortality of 117,OOO. In 1900 plague
was present in every quarter of the
world. The Philippine Islands were
included in the march of the disease,
$50 deaths occurring at Manila. The
most notable fact in the history of the
plague in the western world was the
appearance of twenty-five fatal cases
in San Francisco. In 1891 in India
a great augmentation took place, un-
til in 1904 plague caused the death OF
over 100000 persons in India alone
and epidemicS prevailed to greater
or less degree in nearly all parts OF
the world. India, the great centre,
suffered terribly in the year 1905, but
in the year 1906 there was great de-
crease. the number of deaths being
about 332, 900, but again in 1907 there
was great increase, the deaths num-
bering 100000. For nine years, DR..
Eaget says. Hawaii I'm 1907 had not
been free from plague, but the Philip
pine Islands now seem to be clear OF
the disease. During the year 1907, l56
cases of plague with 76 deaths occur
red in San Francisco. There were also
few cases at Oakland and other
close neighbors Of San Francisco. At
Seattle, Wash, three fatal cases oc-

ResnonsibiIitv of the Newspaper.

The Ledger is grateful to the people
of Gaffney, BlackSburg and Cherokee
county for the very loyal manner in
which they have stood by it during its
fifteen years of existence. There have
been times when we have felt like
casting anchor and giving up the ship.
These were when adverse winds struck
our sails and tossed our frail barque
about upon the ocean of uncertainty.
But through it all we have had an
abiding faith in the final triumph of
right. We know we have sometimes
run against the current, we knew at
the time we were, but we believed all
along and we are still firm in the con-
VictiOn that we were working for the
best interests of all and if we had it
to go over again. we wouldn't alter our
course. Time will tell whether or not
we were right. We know we have al
ways acted from principle and that the
consideration of the dollar has never
entered our mind If we had chosen
to do 50 We might have sold out and
thus been the gamer for moment,
but there are greater things in this
world than dOllarS-and that is the
consciousness of being right. The
Ledger is today on a firmer foundation
than ever before. We shall continue
to try to make it worthy of the pa
trunagc. esteem and good will of all.
We ask the cordial corporation of the
entire pnpulaCe in our effort To make
it the very best newspaper which the
surroundings will permit. There are
hundreds of people in this county who
10 not read 4 newspaper. The pOliti-
cal dCmaGOgUe comes along and pOiS-
UnS their minds against newspapers
in general and they swear they won't

neighbOr does not take a paper lend
him yours until he becomes accustom-
ed to reading it and then try to pur-
suade him to take one of his own.-
Gaffney Ledger.
This article, more or less personal
in it's nature, interests The Enquirer
more than it does the average reader,
because The Enquirer is in a better
position to appreciate just exactly what
the Ledger means.
There are newspapers and newspa-
Dcrs: but the Gaffney Ledger is no or
dinary newspaper. 1t has always stood
for something. and it stands for some
thing now. BY that, we mean it is
edited by it's editor. He has ever stood
ready to advance that which was good
for this town. or county; but he has
never been willing to lend himself or
his paper to the promotion of the sell
fish designs of individuals or combina-
tions of individuals. That is one of
the things he has in mind when he
disavows the dollar consideration
and every real newspaper man appre-
ciates exactly what he means.
Another situation mentioned in the
article reproduced above, which is to
be appreciated only by newspaper men
Of experience and discernment, is COM
pretended in the reference to nom
newspaper readers. There are hun
dreds of these not only in Cherokee,
but in every other South Carolina
county. The trouble with most of
them is that they cannot read. There
are many, however, who though able
to read, have no inclination to do so.
1t follows as a matter, Of course, that
neither class can be properly informed
as to men and things, and both classes
are a prey to the demagogues, who
are making constant use of them in
carrying out their selfish designs. OF
course, all intelligent reading people
understand that the newspaper is the
best possible medium for the enlight-
enment of the unenlightened, and we
can think of no better way than that
suggested by the Ledger of developing
the newspaper reading habit.

CHICoRA CoLLEGE.-Chicora college
opens it's next session on September
II. Everything in connection with
the buildings, is about In readiness
for the return of the pupils. During
the summer many small improve
ments have been made, which add
greatly to the beauty and comfort or
the buildings. The interior, Is attrac-
tive, as we'll as substantial. The re-
ception halls, have just been hnlshed
in hardwood, and the walls beautiful
ly papered. The parlors, offices and
infirmary, have all been oVerhauled
and finished in an elegant, attractive
paper and ivory enamel paint. An ad-
ditional furnace is being added to the
heating plant, and the athletic courts
improved.
The outlook for the approaching
session Is the most encouraging In the
history Of the institution. The evil
dence Of the popularity Of Chicora, Is
seen in the very large and unprece-
dented number of new applications.
There have been very nearly, IL not
fully enough new applicants to fill
the dormitory buildings. The college
authorities have been compelled to
rent additional houses for the accom-
modations Of the pupils. The pros
pect at present is, that the number Of
VIII SAC6cu .ludl VI
last year, by fully one third to one
half Many requests for catalogues
have come from distant states, and
the future of the college Is exceeding
ly bright. The great need of the
present, Is additional dormitory room.
The faculty will begin to return
next week. A number Of the teach
ers spent the summer at the various
universities Of the country studying
along their special lines. The music
department will be stronger than ever.
The faculty Of last year, will be with
the college again, and will be strength
ened by the addition of Prof. Berg
hauser, who Is accomplished in both
piano, and voice.
The college expects to open on a
standard Of twelve units, which Is as
high as any institution In the state.
Chicora is now certainly Offering the
very best advantages in higher Chris
tian education, and its future Is as
sured. Together with the other insti-
tutions Of this city, 1t should be the
pride Of the community.
An exceptionally large day patron
age Is expected, as there have been
many applications and inquiries. It
Is the purpose Of the pres ident, s. C.
Byrd and his associates to make the
institution blessing to the people Of
reenville.--Greenville News.
