Stowe was in the Picker-room of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company, as was his usual custom., endeavor ing to assist his fi ther. who works in that department. The little fellow had observed his father packing down the cotton as it was about to pass be tween the rollers of what is known as the finisher. His father had gone to look after another machine when the lad thought to immitate him and tried to pack the cotton. In doing so he put his hands too far in and had them caught by the rollers, which carried them in. The hands were only slightly bruised. The arms below the elbow were severely injured, while the arm above the elbow was horribly lacara- ted, tearing the flesh from the hone. Happily no bones were broken. The attending physicians, Drs. Littlejohn and Miller,have hopes of his recovery without the necessity of amputating either of the arms. The little fellow was not employed in the mill, but was there simply be cause it was his pleasure to he there. He believed he was assisting his father. There is no blame attached to the mill authorities whatever. When Thk Ledger representative called yesterday the little fellow was resting as easy as could be expected under the circumstances, and sorrow ing friends were there to do all in their power to assist in aleviating his pains and offer consolation to the family. THE CITY COUNCIL MEET Buxiness of Importance Transacted and New Ordances Passed. The city fathers met last Friday in regular monthly session, the entire board being present. The regular rou tine of business was transacted and then the following special business of importance arrested the attention of the aldermen: The committee on streets reported work on the street to be progressing satisfactorily. The extension of Petty street was thought to be impractica ble at the present because the prop erty owners desired the city to pay more than they felt inclined to for the land thorough which the exten sion would be made. The committee asked further time on the matter of the extension of North Limestone street. The council then enacted two new city ordinances, one relating to per sons refusing or failing to appear be fore the mayor to give evidence, and the other relating to larceny. The fall text of both of these ordi nances will he found in another column of The Lejmkk. The chief of police reported that the recommendations of the board of health were being carried out. The board then adjourned until the next regular meeting. Advantagous Advertising. J. G.

Mrs. Nancy Padrinb, the wife of Martin Parkins, died at her home in the western subhurbs of the city last night about 11 o’clock. Hhe had been suffering intensely for some weeks past and it might b* said death was a relief, bbe hurl some weeks ago said to kind-hearted ones who had tried to minister to wants that she was willing and ready to go. The itcnncnt will take ulaee this after- THE BIRTHRIGHT. A Happy and Effectual Lecture by Prof. Griffith. The crowd which assembled at Limestone Sunday was very large and those who went were well repaid, while those who did not go missed a treat. Prof. Griffith was in an unus ually happy frame of mind.and talked to “the boys” from the humanity side of the question—the side which is the only logical argument. Begin ning w here he left off several weeks ago he said in part: “Jacob was rap idly approaching his end; and he knew it. His had been a life of self ishness. and this was symbolic of sel. fish men. He had exhausted his power and the end was near. He had come to the place where it was nec essary to sleep, and out there under the broad canopy of heaven he had no one to swindle—he was alone. He could not conjure the silent stars. He began to realize something. He felt the power that held him in his grasp. He felt the power of God. What did he do? He did what you and I and every other man have done or will do. He prayed. I know not when the time will come, but it will surely come some time in every man’s life, when he will pray. It might be when darkness was upon us. It might be when a cyclone on its terrible mis- aion of death came upon us. It might be when the railroad car was flying in space, or the demon of death was holding high carnival, but it would surely come. It might come in a hundred and one different ways. I know not how or when, but it will surely come. I have no idea that Jacob was converted when lie prayed to God that night. He did not pray like a converted man. He prayed as if he were trying to make a bargain with God. It is to Jacob's shame that he offered such a prayer. He promised God that if he would help him this time that ever afterwards he would give his service to him. God helped him. and he soon lost his gratitude and forgot God. He realized the pres ence of God when he prayed. I have said I did not believe Jacob was con verted. nor do I, but then it was a step upward for Jacob. Though afterward he went on cheating and defrauding jast as if he had never promised God anything. But when he met Laban he met his match. The arch-cheater •»as cheated. The defrauder was de frauded. You remember he agreed to work for Laban seven years for his youngest daughter, but when he had served Laban seven years he would only give him the elder daughter." At this point the professor became humorous, and his imaginary picture of the elder daughter was ludicrous in the extreme. He went on and de scribed the meeting of Esau and Jacob after their years of separation, and said, “If it was the intention of Esau to frighten Jacob he had succeed ad mirably with only 400 men." He then took up the birthright. “The advan tages of the birthright were not to be estimated. There was nothing to compare it to. The light of the dim mest star in the heavens against the noonday sun was hut a faint compari son the vast possibilities of the pres ent was no comparison to the past— the days of Esau and Jacob. What did it all mean? The gates of knowl edge arc so wide open ; tlie possibil ities so great. What are you doing, young men, to improve the hour?” At this point the professor appealed to the young men, begging them to cherish the privileges of the birth right. He was attentively listened to throughout the entire discourse, and many were the expressions of ap proval heard by The Ledger after the lecture. It is to Is* hoped the professor will again talk to “the boys." Tired, Weak, Nervous, Means impure blood, and overwork or too much strain on brain ami body. The only way to cure is to feed the nerves on pure blood. Thousands of people certify that the best blood purifier, the best nerve tonic and strength builder is Hood’s Harsaparilla. What it has done for others it will also do for—Hood’s Cures. Nervousness, loss of sleep, loss of appetite and general debility all dis appear when Hood’s Harsaparilla is persistently taken, and strong nerves, sweet sleep, strong body, sharp ap petite, and in a word, health and happiness, follow the use of Hood’s Harsrparilla.
