• , THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., SEPTEMBER 3, 1896. Whether in the form of pill powder or liquid, the doctor’s prescription for blood diseases is always the same— mercury or potash. These drugs bottle up and poison and dry it up iu the system, but they also dry up the marrow iu the bones at the same time. The suppleness and elasticity of the joiuts give way to a stiffness, the rack ing pains of rheumatism. The form gradually bends, the bones ache, while decrepitude and helplessness prema turely take possession of the bony, and it is but a short step to a pair of crutches.

He j wanted to hear the proposition of Gaffney as to the new county, build ings, etc. Mr. Butler thought no motion nec essary to learn that. This meeting was called for that purpose. Mr. Hardin waaatod the proposition to be placed on the minutes and made a motion to that cffci't, which was eagerly secomle l and unaaai- mously carried: ‘•That the Town Council, of Gaff ney, submit to tho delegates assem bled their proposition as to building the court house, jail and all other necessary expenses incurred in erect ing said buildings; survey of the ter ritory to be included in the new county and other expenses attending its formation. Mayor Wood read the minutes of the mass meeting held Aug. 10th and the minutes of the Town Council and resolutions of the town council. The resolutions of the town council were in effect that they would lease the city hall to the now county for the period of ninety-nine years at a nominal rental of .^10 per year, and that tiny would build a jail in addi tion and that this was to bo done solely at the expense of tho town of Gaffney and that no taxes were to be levied on anyone for that purpose. Mr. Hardin moved that the propo sition submitted to the delegates was insufficient and not satisfactorily. This motion was made to test the sentiment of the meeting. Mr. Harding argued that the proposition was insufficient. Col. T, B. Butler spoke in behalf of the city. He said it was not the in tention of the town council of Gaff ney to deceive anyone. This meet ing had been called that tho people might know what the town council intended to do. It was not the de sire of Gaffney or her town council to try to hood-wink any one. They were perfectly sincere snd perfectly honest in this matter. On motion the meeting adjourned until 2 :30 in order to allow the dele gates to inspect the city hall building and to take dinner. Meeting reassembled promptly at 2:550. * Col. T. B. Butler said that resolution of town council would change its proposition by saying it would lease city bull for twenty years and that the tax payers will obligate themselves in a bond to Build court house and jail in fifteen years and deed to said new county. Cherokee Township of York, through J. G. Black seemed to think the proposition a fair one. Mayor Wood withdrew his motion made before noon and so accepted and laid on the table. Win. Jefferies addressed meeting on new county. Remarks were to the point; set out the various advan- tagey of the new county; expatiated on the educational advantages, roads bridges etc, and thought taxes would he lower and insisted on harmony and good will prevailing. W in. It. Lipscomb spoke briefly on the subject thinks u new county a necessity. He Hud we'iuust not live for ourselves alone but for others, and tnat they put bond approved by a committee of delegates in th • sum of $1’>,IKK) to cover all expenses in forming a new county that the city council or the citizens of the town of Gaffney build ajeourt house and jail within tifteen years and deed same to the county, then tho lease on the city hall cease and determine. The mine of tho county was left blank because that will have to be submitted to the voters. The motion was amended by Mr. Harding to read follows: “Resolved, by the delegates as sembled that the proposition of the town of Gaffney bo accepted, viz: Thgt tho Town Council lease to the Commissioners of county, the city hall, for a period of 20 years, and that they make a guarantee bond, ap proved by a committee elected by the delegates, in the sum of $!.*>,OO'.I.OO, conditioned that tlu subscribers will build a court bouse, jail and furnish tho laud upon which they will be erected within 12 years and all other expenses included in the formation of said new county. When the court house is erected, the lease of the city ball shall cease—provided that the site and plan of said building bo loft to tho board of county commissioners; that tho court house be located at Gaffney, and that this convention receive this proposition us information to carry to the respective townships here rep resented.'’ A vote was then taken by roll call, (only the regularly elected delegates being allowed to vote) which resulted in its being adopted by a vote of twen ty-five to eight. Mr. Harbin then offered the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the delegates as sembled elect a committee of seven to act as delegates to pass upon the validity and value of the bond to be given by the people of Gaffney to erect the court house and jail and buy the site: That said bond be made and its validity passed upon at Gaffny, S.
