MORGAN IRON WORKS, Spartanburjg-, 8. C. CHAS. H. CARLISLE. Pres, and Treaa. No one who has not been through the ordeal, can possibly have any concep tion of the terrible fear and dread occa sioned by the anticipation of a surgical operation. Well grounded, too, per haps, in a majority of cases, for the keen blade of the surgeon is too often used indiscreetly, and where it cannot possi bly do any good. It is a little less than folly to submit to a surgical operation for a disease of the olood, and such a course always proves either fatal or useless. Mr. Lincolu Nelson, of HartviUe, Mo., had an interesting experieuce with the doctors recently, and was on the verge of a painful surgical operation. Ht writes: “I hereby add my unqualified endorsement of your excellent remedy S. S. S. For six years I have been a sufferer from a scrofulous affection of the glands of my neck, and all efforts ol physicians in Washington, D. C., Springfield, 111., and St. Louis, failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months’ constant treatment here my physician urged me to submit to a re moval of the glaud. At this critical mo ment a friend recommended S. S. S.. and laying aside a deep-rooted preju dice against all patent medicines, I be gan its use. Before I had used one bot tle the enlargement began to disappear, and now it is entirely gone, though I am not through with my second bottle yet. Had I only used your S. S. S. long age. I would have escaped years of misery and saved over $150. If this endorse ment will serve you in any way use it.” This experience is like that of all who suffer with deep-seated blood troubles. The doctors can do no good, and even their resorts to the knife prove either fruitless or fatal, S. S. S. is the only real blood remedy, it gets at the root of the disease and forces it out perma nently. Cancer is another disease for which the doctors at once resort to the knife, and there has never been a case cured by an operation. S. S. S. has made some wonderful cures of Cancer, full ac counts of which will be sent out upon application. S S. S. is a blood remedy for real blood troubles; it cures the most obsti nate cases of Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, etc., which other so-called blood remedies fail to touch. S. S. S. gets at the root of the disease and forces it out permanently. Valuable books will be sent free to any address by the Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Georgia. SWEET WEDDING BELLS. PAUL V.

GAFFNEY, Last Thursday evening at 8:30 o’clock at the residence of the bride’s parents, Mr. Paul V. Gaffney and Miss Minnie Harris were united in the holy bonds of matrimony, the Rev. B. P. Robertson, of the Baptist eburch, officiating. The marriage was a quiet home af fair, embracing simplicity and beauty in its character. At exactly 8:30 o’clock Miss Lizzie Lipscomb began to play Mendelssohn’s wedding march ■upon the piano and the young couple inarched into the parlor, where in Hie presence of a few of their relatives and friends they were made man and wife. The ceremony used by Rev. Air. Robertson was short and pretty. Immediately after the ceremony the guests were ushered into the din ing room and were served with a sumptuous repast. Then back to ihc parlors the company went and the remainder of the evening was made merry by the friends of the happy couple who bad gathered in honor of the event. Mr. and Mrs. Gaffney t 00k the 12:20 for the Gate City where they remained until Saturday taking in the exposition. The bride was attired in a lovely costume of white with whie kid slip pers and glove to match and a rose in her hair. The groom wore a becom ing suit of black, white kid gloves and patent leather shoes. The bridal presents were numer ous, handsome and appropriate, al though the latest fashionable con ventionalities were not strictly com plied with—that of only the immedi ate membersof the family donating— because there were a number of pres ents from friends not related. The groom is a promising young business man of this city who is successfully conducting a wholesale and retail confectionery store and is full of energy and pluck. The bride is one of Gaffney’s prettiest and most amiable young ladies and has a host of admiring friends. Mr. and Mrs. Gaffney will reside at the old Gaffney residence on Grenard street, with Mr. Gaffney’s mother. A reception was tendered Mr. and Mrs. Gaffney ac the residence of Mr. Gaffney’s mother on Saturday even ing at which were quite a number of invited guests. The evening was most delightfully spent. A gentleman who witnessed the ceremony paid the young couple the compliment of saying they were the handsomest couple he had ever seen united, and he is a man who has seen quite a number of marriages. May they live long and prosper and be happy always is the wishes of their numerous friends. The Fakers Fleece the Gullable on Every Hand. About t wo weeks ago there alighted from the train at the doopt a dapper | little rdlow with a heavy drooping Attended I biaek mustache who was aceompa- | r.ied by several lesser lights who wore overalls. The crowd were bdl pos ters of the ‘•American Aeronautic Company." Teams were engaged from a local livery stable and the posters set out to bill the surround ing country for miles and miles with exceedingly well written posters an nouncing that on Thursday, Decem ber the 5th, there would be ‘‘a grand free exhibition of the American Aero nautic Company in which the lead ing artists of Europe and America would take part." On Thursday the town was crowded with an amazed people who wondered how in the world so grand and elaborate an ex hibition could be given without money and without price hut some of them became more amazed when they learned how it was done. The management hud arranged a •‘side show’’ for which an admission fee of ten cents was charged. On the in side there were three features that usually go with “side-shows" accom panying circuses and two "fake" gambling apparatus, out of which there was no more show for a man to get his money after once put in than there is for the lost soul to escape from the coniines of hades. Several well-known characters who thought they understood the game and hud a little more sense than the fellow who run it are out faom $5 to $45 by their knowledge. On the outside a blonde mustache* gentleman with a eland expression, an oily tongue ami slick lingers rolie'd up fives, tons and twenty’s in a roll of white paper and deftly exchanged them for a simillar roll which contained green or blue paper and sold them for fifty cents each, lie would glibly tell the innocents “that some contain prize*, and some do not,” at the same time rolling or unrolling one that had a bill in it, hut woe to the unsophisti cated individual who purchased one, This pleasant and perfect remedy, so delightful t<? take, so refreshing and exhilarating, stands in highest favor with all who know it best, as the great est of all medical remedies for both sexes, of all ages and in all conditions.

After they ha l run their little game a short while a Lkuoku representative dropped down on them and immediately reported them to Mayor Littlejohn, who lost no time in going over and stopping their swindling games. About 4 o’clock the balloon went up. A daring aero- nol was swinging to the trapese and when lie had reached an altitude of about live or six hundred feet lie cut loose Ids parachute and descended to earth. The balloon went some higher and when the hot air began to cool it likewise came down, landing in the vacant lot in front of the Limestone Inn. The crowd, which iiad become thoroughly chilled by waiting four hours in a brisk December wind, then repaired to their homes, hut those who ••hit" at the faker’s game were perhaps wiser than when they went. They done the crowd for from $300 to $500.
