Fully as great is the difference be tween Dr. King’s ROYAL GERfSETUER and the ordinary medicines of to-day. It is unlike them in THESE FIVE THINGS S 1. it does not taste like a medi cine* It is as pleasant to take as lemonade and makes a most refreshing drink. 2. It never nauseates the most delicate stomach. 3. It does not swap off one dis ease for another. It does not set up one form of disease in order to relieve another as is so often the case. 4. It contains no alcohol or opium in any form and is always harmless even when given to a babe one day old. 5. It does not patch simply, it cures. It reaches as nothing else does to the hidden sources of disease in the blood and removes the cause. It docs this with an ease and power that have never been equaled.

Last Febru ary Landrum Williams was sent to the penitentiary for firing into a pas senger train near Cowpens. At the same time Goode was sent to the penitentiary for stealing a mule and some cotton. On September 2(>th they made their escape from prison Tuesday afternoon Chief of I’oliee Camp received word that the two men were in this section and lie at once organized a posse to effect their errest. The two men came to town and went to the cotton mill where Goode's wife was at work. Williams went in and shook hands with Henry Black, whom he took for Mr. W . A. Wheat, saying ‘ How are you Mr. Wheat.” Blaek replied that his name was not Wheat, then Williams asked where Mr. Wheat was. Mr. Black replied that he was at the house. Williams then inquired for “Sis’ Goode, Garling Goode’s wife, saying that her father was very low and that her brother had come after her, and that jf she doubted his word to go out to the gate and see. Mr. Black then went to see Mr. Ed Cash and told Mr. Cash that Landrum Wil liams was at t he upper end of the mill and wanted to take Goode’s wife. Mr. Cash told Mr. Black to go after Chief Camp and that he himself would go after Mr. Turner. Black came up town and informed Chief Camp, win) with the posse, proceeded to the mill just in time to intercept Williams and Goode’s wife us they were leaving the mill. The result is told above. The wounded man was then taken to t he calaboose. The posse then went in search of Goode, who in tli.- meantime had gone to the mill to en quire after his wife. He was discov- I ered lying in the grass just outside the fenc« of the office of the mill. He warned the posse not to follow and us they begun to close in on him In* opened lire. No one was hurt except B. F. Wil liams, w ho was shot in the foot, and t he desperadoes. Williams was armed with a Har rington & Richardson .'12-calibre re- vidver and Goode was armed with a ;i2-culihre Winchester riffle. J. C. Goodman, a commercial traveler, is the gentleman who brought tin* information to Chief Camp. Mr. Goodman was at Linder A Price’s store, in the Maud neigh borhood, Tuesday afternoon, where he received the information. Both Williams and Goode were in that vi cinity drinkingjutid making threats to the effect that they would not hi* taken alive. They hud also threat ened the life of Goode’s wife and it is said that they came to town with the avowed purpose of killing her because she had testified against them in court. Williams died about 4 o’clock yes terday morning in the calaboose. A physician had been called and did al' he could for the wounded man. A minister was also present adminis tering spiritual comfort. .^Williams was phot in tin* abdomen, some six or eight buckshot and bul let wounds being in close proximity to each other. Goode was shot in the face and head, but at this writing respirati m is easy and he is doing us well as could he expected. He may live but his chances are slim. and will he umur. ed.

The reason whv we have not carried out this object to the letter has been that we have not yet finished revising our subscription list. We are now engaged in setting up the mu'l list and as each subscri ber is reached who is not paid in ad vance the name is omitted from the list. We do not desire to do injustice to anyone hut if we are to have a strictly cash in advance system some wort by people will be discontinued because of their failure to pay up. Remember that a settlement to date in no case insures a continuance of the paper, hut only* those who are paid in advance will get if after the list is revised which will take about a week longer. We want to keep all the names we have and add all the new ones we can so help yourself ami Tmk Lkdgkk by calling and paying your subscription nr remit by mail If you fail to get the paper you may know something is out of order.

They are worthy people and willing workers hut the father, mother and oldest daughter are sick in bed and two deformed children, aged seven and nine years, are the only ones who are not sick. They are helpless and the good people of the community have made an uffort to help them along, but their neigh bors are not wealthy and can ill afford to devote much time to the cause.

The municipal government of Gaff ney in the past has bt^en of the high est order hut no previous adminis tration has shown more progress and public spirit than the present one. The time for selecting officers for another two year term is fast ap proaching and men ofaffairs are beginning to discuss the matter. That our city has made progress with the present officers no one will deny. The question now arises “Will Gaffney he content with what has been done or will she con tinue men in office who will develop everything that pertains to Gaffney’s good?” We are no organ hut if a new set of officers are to he selected let- get a set that is more progressive t ban the present, if possible, and if we eurit do that lets keep the good thing we have. . «•«- • A Coupon Station. Several weeks ago Banker A. N. Wood, who is ever looking out for the progress and improvement of any thing pertaining to Gaffney, started a petition asking the authorities of t lie Southern Railway to make this a eotipon station. Nearly every bnsi- ucsji man in Gaffney signed the peti tion and Mi*. Wood sent it on to head- qiiar’ers. In a few days he received a eommnnieat ion to t he eff-ct that tle- n quest would he complied with. A great railway is always willing to help push a good thing when it sees it, h'Mice t he Soul hern is w illing to push along Gaffney when asked to do so. . *•*■- . Fell Twenty-five Feet. J. II.
