Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
“I was troubled for years with a
sore on my knee, which several
]ih\:dcians, who treated me, called a
ran or, assuring me that nothing
could he done to save my life. As
a last resort, I was induced to try
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and, after tak
ing a number of bottles, the sore
began to disappear and my general
health improve. I persisted in this
treatment, until the sore was en
tirely healed. Since then, I use
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla occasionally as
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in
deed, it seems as though I could not
keep house without it.”—Mrs. S. A.

An Uneventful Election-—Very Few
Drunks, no Insulting and Abu
sive Epithets Used—
The Day’s Events.
Tuesday, March the 24th was elec
tion day. The suspense of several
weeks is finally over and now let pro
gressive Gaffney, with her progres
sive business men, led by a progres
sive mayor and a progressive council
a<rain settle down to business and
push on to her goal.
The day opened with a slight fall
of snow hut later the sun came out
and made the weather very pleasant.
There was no wrangling at the polls,
no"pulling and shoving and miscon
duct to secure a vote. Everything
was conducted in a nineteenth cen
tury civilization manner. There was
but few drinking men and they were,
without exceplion, in a jovial mood.
The voting began at S) o’clock and
by 12 o’clock 1.87 votes had been
cast. After that the voting was light
so that when the polls were closed at
8 o’clock a total of 2.7.) votes had
been cast. The following is a tubu
lated report of the managers:

A. X. Wood and J. F. Garrett are
therefore duly elected and until the
first Tuesday in March, 1898, the
town council of the city of Gaffney
will stand as follows :
Intendant—A. X. Wood.
Wardens—J. A. Carroll, It. A.
Jones, L. Baker and J. F. Garrett.
This is a progressive hoard, and we
believe it can ho said, comes as near
representing the whole interests of
the city as any that could he se
lected.
tiik vicTons.
Of the victors in Tuesday’s contest
hut little can he added to that which
has already been said. Mr. Wood
has served the city several times as
mayor. He is a hanker, therefore a
man of ample means, a safe financier
and is perhaps better known outside
the city than any other citizen. He
is truly conservative in all things,
stands well with the State adminis
tration and lias a large influence
with the railroads and other corpora
tion. lie is liberal in his views and
will conduct the affairs of the city
in a strictly economical manner.
When tiny new enterprise is to be
launched that requires capital and
influence you will generally find
Adolphus X. Wood at or close to the
lead.
J)r. J. F. Garrett is a dentist. IJe
enjoys a remunerative practice. He
is at the head of tlio local building
and loan association. He can also
always he found with the progressive
men as lie is imbued with the pro
gressive spirit.
THE VANqriSIIKI).
Mr. J. V. Surratt is a large and
prosperous merchant at the head of
the firm of Sarratt it Sims. He is a
genial spirit and enjoys a large circle
of friends. Ho conducts business on
a safe basis, and, had ho been elected,
1 tho interests of the city could not
have suffered in the least degree. He
loses no prestage or friends for being
vanquished as he is a gentleman
whom defeat could not crush.
Mr. J. It. Tollcson is also a mer
chant, conducting, as ho does, one of
the largest and best equipped general
merchandise establishments in the
city. He enjoys tho reputation of
being ono of our best and most con
scientious business men. A gentle
man once remarked to The Eeduku
that “J. R. Tollcson could have been
immensely wealthy if tie had desired
to conduct anything but a straight
forward business, hut he is too con
scientious to do anything wrong.”
This is the record of the men who
were in the field, so it was impossible
for a mistake to be made.
Xow that its all over let animosi
ties resulting from the contest of
three weeks ago be laid aside and all
pull for the upbuilding of Gaffney.

‘IRENE’’ MILLS.
The Meeting of the Durham Shoals
Company.
At a meeting of the Durham Shoals
Manufacturing Company Monday at
Boiling Springs, X. C., it was ascer
tained that more titan $100,000 of the
stock had been subscribed for and it
was decided to commence work at
once on the erection of the plant.
Gaffney capital is largely represented
in this enterprise and, us tho secre
tary and treasurer both live here, it
is more than likely that the offices of
the company will be located in this,
city.
The Ledcjeu wishes the new mill
much success.
The stockholders met at Boiling
Springs Academy at tho time ap
pointed and after considerable “sift
ing” of doubtful stockholders and
“doubling-up” of the tried and true
the desired amount of $100,000 was
raised (or very nearly so) and the
oflicers elected declared the mill a
certainty and as soon the surveyors
can he gotten upon the ground con
tracts will bo let out and work will
begin.
It being decided that tho new-born
urchin could not bo called “Durham,”
there being an overgrown urchin in
the State by that name, a short
discussion took place between seueral
members of the family as to what the
little blue-eyed girl should be called.
The father thinking it to he a boy
suggested the name “Jolly,” hut as
there were several .Jollys thereabouts
and the crowd had been “jolly” all
the while and as the father always
yields to the dignity, good judgement
and modesty of the mother the name
“Irene” suggested by the secretary,
Col. J. G. Wardlaw, was accepted, so
the pliico shall he forever known in
the future as Irene Mills, X. (’. As
there is no post-office there as yet
communications to tho Irene Manu
facturing Company for the present
will he received at Gaffney, S. C.
The mill is named after the charm
ing little daughter of the treasurer
and general manager, Hiram 1).
Wheat.
The Gaffney men are noted for
their qualifications in regard to
finance and business.
The Irene Mills is no more a prob
ability hut a reality. She has men
at the helm who constitute the hone
and sinew of the central union of the
two Carolinus. A better corps of
mill buildi-rs than that of our officers,
Messrs. Wheat, Carroll. Wardlaw and
Cash, can not be found in this conn-
fry. and from the fact that they arc
all experienced mill men the Irene
Mills will without a doubt he a
marked success. The hoard of Direc
tors constitute the above named gen
tlemen and also Messrs. David Ream.
Henry Jenkins and L A. Gettcs.
Tho cite of the new mill is a beau
tiful one, it being the favorite resori
for fishing parties. Broad River is
destined to become the father of cot
ton mills and in a few years the low
munneringS of all her shoals within
five miles of Irene will blend with
the gentle humming of thousands of
cotton mill spindles.
A Newspaper Helps.
The effort of any newspaper to
build up a town is practically nulli
fied unless it is hacked up by the
business men. A stranger turns
from the news columns of a paper
to its advertising pages, and if he
fails to find there the business cards
of the merchants and professional
firms, he comes to the conclusion
that the publisher is not appreciated,
in which case it is a good place for
him to keep clear of. Xo town ever
grew without tho active assistance of
its newspaper. Xor can papers grow
and build up their localities without
the assistance of the town. Busi
ness men should realize this and re
member in giving support to the
newspapers they are not only build
ing up their own business, but help
ing to support that which is steadily
working for the growth of tho whole
town. —Franklin Transcript.

AT THE LITERARY CLUB.
A Wintry Evcmrg Most Delightfully
Spent.
Notwithstanding the wintry weath
er last Friday night a good sized
crowd greeted 1’rof. F. C. Woodward
at the rooms of the Literary Club and
spent a delightful evening.
I lie Club was fortunate in securing
the services of Prof. Woodward and
it shows that the literary people are
enterprising and enthusiastic.
Prof. Woodward is noted for his
eloquent and learned lectures. Fri
day night he was in his usual happy
mood and treated his hearers to one
of his best and most interesting
talks. His subject, “Reading, the
manner and the matter selected” was
one in which every one present was
interested.
Prof. \\ oodwanl was introduced by
President Wardlaw, of the Literary
Club, and for an nour ho delighted
and interested his audience, telling
them of the good value of good read
ing and how to obtain the best results
from a course of good reading.
Prof. Woodward possesses a happy
style and is well fitted to deal with
a subject of this kind, being himself
an extensive reader and a learned
man.
It is be hoped the club will seenre
him for another lecture at an early
date.
Prof. Woodward is professor of
English at the .South Carolina Uni
versity at Columbia.
