His father and nncle'had died froth Cancel, and he sought thei best medical aid in different cities, but it seemed im possible to check, the disease. Several operations were performed but the can cer always returned. This continued for years until the partition in his nose and his entire up per lip were eaten away. All treat ment having proved futile, he looked upon death as the only relief. “Some one re commended s.s.s.-’ ^he says, “and |a few bottles afford- j|ed some relief; thus ^ encouraged I con- ‘'tinued it, and it was not long be fore the progress of the disease seem- _ persevered in its use, and remarkable as it may seem, I am completely cured, and feel like I have new life. S.S.S. is the most re markable remedy in the world, and everyone will agree that the cure was a wonderful one.” A Real Blood Remedy. Cancer is in the blood and it is folly to expect an operation to cure it. S.S.S. {guaranteed purely vegetable) is a real remedy for every disease of the blood.

The doctors say there is not a great deal of sickness now. Fix your ground good and sow ruta baga turnips at once. David Magness, of Spartanburg, was in the city last Sunday. Gaffney can boast of as many fine cows as any city in the State. The recent rains have made much work on our streets necessary. The Lime company is furnishing a quantity of balast to the Southern now. The growing crops that we have had a chance to - look at are wonder fully good. The people were here last Saturday in full force, full of business and lit tie politics. Candidates are plentiful in this I county, and all that we have seen seem to be hopeful of success. The Ledger is indebted to Baker W. A. Beeler for a sample of his splendid bread. Mr. Beeler should be able to build up a splendid busi ness. The Ledger force returns thanks to Brof. and Mrs. It. (). Sams for a quantity of delicious grapes. It is indeed a pleasure to be so kindly re membered by our friends. While performing some acrobatic feats upon a gymnnseum pole last Thursday. morniLg Itobt. Lipscomb sustained a fracture of the right arm. Bob is getting along nicely. In reply to a query from “Citizens of White Blains and Bacolet Town ships’’ we will say that we have been informed by a friend that Mr. W. G. Austell is a candidate for the legisla ture, but Mr. Austell lias not yet made his announcement through the press. J. G. Galloway & Son have moved into their magnificent new store on Limestone street. Their store is one of the handsomest in the State and alike reflects credit on themselves and L. Baker, the architect and builder. We note with pleasure that some friends) of C. \Y\ Whisonant, of Wil- kinsville, have nominated him for member of the State Legislature from Union County. We believe Mr. Whisonant would make a good member of the legislature and would like to see him elected. The Ledger is requested to call the attention of the road authorities to the extremely bad road between hero and Cherokee. At some places the road is said to be almost impass able. This road lias never had a rep utation for being any the best so we hope the road people will look after it. This constant nagging at Senator Tillman on the part of some of the State papers seems to us to be very unkind. We do not admire him as a politician hut he is human and the humiliation of defeat should be enough. Besides, it ill-becomes gentlemen who pose as public edu cators to adopt such tactics. We are quite sure that the sympa thies of the people of the entire State go out to Senator Tillman and family in their sad bereavement. Men may differ in material things but when affliction overcomes our public men much that is Godly in man crops out. The Senator has the sympathy of the whole Biedinont Belt. The cotton mill now works a little' longer each day so as to he able to close every Saturday at 12 o’clock. It must he a great relief to the oper ative and we are glad of it, for now we see them on the street on Satur day afternoons mingling with the throng, and a more worthy, happy and bright looking people is not in the land. While walking across the vacant lot just below Will Thomas’ store a few days ago Dave Destaffino observed that the earth had been washed con siderable and while examining discov ered what proved to be an old Indian soap-stone pot. In attempting to ex tricate it the pot was broken. It was about two feet in diameter and clt arly showed the murks of fire on the bot tom. Henry Bates Called Home. \V. Henry Bates died Thursday July 10th, at the home of his father at Clifton, of rheumatic heart disease. Mr. Bates was the son of Dr. B. K. Bates and a brother of Dr. B. I). Bates, of this city. Mr, Bates was a genial soul and made many friends. Hu was hut 10 years old, but to know him was but to admire him. May his soul rest In peace. The remains were enterred at Cow- pens cemetery, the Kev. J. L. Hhinn conducting the funeral services, as sisted by Kev. J. L. Harley. Other Local News on Pages 1 and 7.

Mayor Wood’done a IVttltf bosiriess the lust of lust week In his court". 1 Al> Black had a fig'ht sflmt* weeks ago with his wife, broke one of her legs and skipped the town leaving his street tax unpaid, but he couldn’t stay away from Gaffney. Ho came back and consequently fell into the hands of Officer Lepscomb and was soon before bis Honor, the Mayor, to be informed that he could pay seven dollars and thirty cents or work seventeen days on the city chain gang. Ab took the seventeen days. Next, came 0‘car Smith, a famous colored wheelman, lor violating bicy cle ordinance, (‘sear got two dollars or four days. He paid the two dol lars. Monday morning the Mayor opened court promptly at t) o’clock and soon found that he had a big job before him. The colored people had had a big “festible” on Saturday night be fore and everybody knows a festival is a prolific source of such troubles as fill the docket of the Mayor’s courts. Jim Moore was first called. A dusky damsel had called him out’n his name and he hit her two or three times with his fist. Mayor Wood left it with him, to pay live or take ten. He paid. And now comes Henry Day and Spain Reed, two festive'colored liv ery stable men with a charge of dis orderly conduct staring them in the face. They each got two and a half or five. And now comes Jim Gaffney under charges*as above and got the same. And now comes Butler Littlejohn, a colored youth of considerable im portance which is always apparent at first sight. He, however, became disorderly, drew a pistol and inter- feared with a special police. Mayor Wood likes order, despises pistols and can’t tolerate them being drawn, and will surely protect his officers, so he informed the above named, Butler, that he could hand over ten or take twenty. Butler handed over. And now comes John Wesley Lit- t lejofrn (Botnp). He had whipped his grand-child. He was given two and a half or five. “Bomp’ appealed— said he had three more to whip and would rather settle all at one time. Alex Dawkins and Kelly Smith were up for disorderly conduct but were discharged for want of evidence, which officer Lipscomb said was [(res ent but not “come-at-able.” One case of violation of bog ordi nance was disposed of and the party fined one dollar. fill ff'CffRPENTER.
