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

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 sick among us are improving.
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.

Judgement ‘aoJ-JtistiCe.
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.
