A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
A Six Year Old Boy Narrowly Escapue
Death.
Wednesday afternoon the little six-
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.
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. Galloway A Son jump in the
hand wagon with “both feet” and
have more “if you wants" than any
one horse wagon can carry. They
have everything you want and they
tell the tale sufficently well for any
one. Read what they say.
Wilkins Bros, “slip" upon the j>eo-
ph* and offer slippers cheaper than
ever heard of before. They proposed
to satisfy all.
Carrol) A f'arjieiiter make more
“special offerings" for this week in
the shape of “assorted kids in pairs."
They also have flowers, and rihlsms
and huts in profession.
W. O. Lipscomb is too busy to write
an ad. so we wmild advise those in
search of bargains to try and keep
him busy.
Holmes A Pridmore have reopened
the old established iee cream and soda
water parlors and invite you to call.
They have a pretty place.
Through the Dark Valley.
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

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

Early Closing.
An effort is to be made to have the
merchants close early. Burely they
will. This is a new era. Times are
not like they used to be. The mer
chant does not necessarily have to re
main open at night fora trade which
in a few days can be cultivated to be
done in the day. Re a generous,
hindhearted merchant and show the
clerks you want to help them and
they will show their appreciation by
more concentrated efforts. You will
loose* nothing. Let the good work he
commenced at once. If we are to be
a city we must effect city ways. Close
the stores at 7 o'clock.
A Protracted Meeting.
A protracted meeting was inaugu
rated at the Baptist church last Sun
day. The services are being con
ducted by the Rev. H. C. Buckholz,
of Chester. The attendance is large
and much interest is manifest. The
music of the choir is attractive, while
the singing of Misses Virgie and
Minnie Crrroll and Messrs. Walter
and Wade Humphries deserve special
mention. The meeting will continue
a week longer and much good is an
