Duff, in this place. Mrs. Duff was the daughter of > Mr. John Jones, formerly of York county, but for several years a resident of Gafluey. She was born in Y'ork, and was nearly 51 years of age. She was an exemplary member of the Presbyterian church, and her life was that of an earnest follower of the Master. A wide circle of friends who esteemed and loved her, for her kind heart and many virtues, will miss her very much ; but 'tis in her own family, where there are several young children, that the loss of her tender care and guiding hands will be most sorely felt. Her remains will be interred at Gaflfney tomorrow afternoon. Miss Sallie and Miss Jean Carson, of Spartanburg, are visiting the family of Dr. W. Auderson. Our graded school opened on Monday, the 12th instaut, with 150 pupils in attendance. Mr. N. N. Cameron, of Elkton, Md., is superintendent, and Miss Jessie H. Lockhart, of Atlanta, Ga., Miss E. Carwile, Ridgeway, S. C., Miss Flora Chapman, Anderson, S. C.. and Miss Sallie Carwile, Johnson, S. C., assistants. Mr. Phil Freeman, after a pleasant visit of several weeks to Elbenton, Ga., returned on Tuesday. Mr. Jesse Gaston, of this place, has the appointmeut for competitive examination from this county for an appointment to West Point. w. a. ELECTION' IN THE STATE. It Was a Close Race Between Featlierstone and Ellerbe, but Ellerbe Wins. Up to the time that Enquirer went to press it was still impossible to obtain complete returns from last Tuesday's primary in the state. Enough figures were at hand, however, to show that there need no longer be any speculation as to fiual results. The telegraphic statement in The ITvi\rit)tM) Worlnocrloir mArnino' nil iu r<4V ?? VUUVOUUJ iuv? ">u^ * " Dounciug the election of Cooper, Mc3Iahan, Floyd aud Oarris, has* been substantiated by later returns. The gubernatorial result was still iu doubt up to a late hour Wednesday afternoon. According to the returns published Friday morning, the total vote for governor is 70,407. This iucludes complete returns from all the counties save two or three. Of the number of votes mentioned, Ellerbe has 37,417 and Featherstone 32,5)90. Filer bo's majority is not less than 5,000. The latest obtainable returns in the other contests are as follows : For secretary of state, I). If. Tompkins, 20,304 ; M. K. Cooper, 81,002. For superintendent of education, J. J.

Columbia State, Thursday: The State Coltou Growers' convention will meet here on next Tuesday, the 20ih. President Wilborn, of the association, says that advices from varioussectious i of the state indicate that the atten- J dauce will be large. Each county is expected to send the same number of delegates as the couuty is entitled to . representatives in the house. Matters of much importance to cotton growers will be discussed. The convention , proposes to take decisive action in regard to the handling of cotton for ( the farmers in the state. Ways and | means to accomplish this end will be ' submitted by several delegates who : have given the subject careful study. The matter of reducing the acreage will also be discussed. ? At a Bible conference at East < Xorthfield, Mass., a few days ago, Mr. Moody was asked: "Would you advertise the topic on which you ex pected to preach on Sunday?" The noted evangelist replied: "This is the age of advertisement, and you have watch your chance. No< I doirt like to give out a subject ; I would rather take them by surprise. But if I see I am losing, I want to catch my audience, then I begin to advertise." It is the same way in business; you must catch the audience. After that the holding of it is a matter of giving it what it wants. gflnrhct Jkpons. YORK VI LI,K, September 10.?Cotton 1A to 5. NK\V YORK, September 15.?Futures opened steady.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put . together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. Foi great < many doctors pronounce it a local disease, i and proscribed local remedies, and be constantly failing to cure with local treat- . inent, pronounced it incurable. Science has proved catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitu- ? tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.. , Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional ' cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a tea- I spoonful. It acts directly on the blood uid mucous surfaces of the system. 1 They otter one hundred dollars for any I case it fails to cure. Send for circulars < ind testimonials. Address, F. J.
