We arc not expected to know all the movements of your friends. The new county is all the talk these days.

The defendant was acquitted. Don’t let politics and politicians worry you. This country is all right. The old adage “There’s more in the man than in the land,” is ns true to day as when uttered by its unknown author. There is one girl in the city or in the country, we don’t know which, that must think Barney Clary is sweet enough to eat, from the man ner in which she chewed up his hand last Sunday. Cash is the lever that moves all things. We take silver, greenbacks or gold, and sometimes copper. If you happen to be behind with your subscription a remittance or a call would be appreciated. Magistrate Phillips disposed of quite an animated horse and bull case last Saturday. J. K. Webster, Esq., represented one side and Col: T. B. Butler the other. The horse side won and the case was appealed. Our streets are crowded with mountain wagons these days full of the good things that the mountains grow and we are glad that the “moun tain men” seem to bo disposing of their produce readily and we trust at remunerative prices. An advertisement in The Ledger begets publicity. If you are a busi ness man and expect to keep up with the procession you must keep before the public. There is no better way to Jet them know you are in in business than through The Ledger. We may say it without fear of suc cessful contradiction that the adver tisements of The Ledger are, as a rule, written in a better strain than those of any other country weekly in this state. The merchants of Gaffney arc evidently studying this bnsiness and they are reaping bcnelits from it. Capt. John W. Ross, who worked for a new county in this section forty years ago, is still a strong new county man and says all he regrets about it is that the people of Gatfnoy are going to build the public build- ings and that ho, living in the coun- try, will not be allowed to take a hand iu that work.

They deserve credit for the work they have done, and we hope they will continue to work. ——■ -• . • — “For years,” says Capt. C.

Unusual Interest in the Mayor’s Court. There was unusual interest in the Mayor’s court last Monday morning. Alderman Jones presiding.

There is more to be told about this brutal murder—there will be more and greater developments. Whether iu 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 in the system, but they also dry up the marrow in the bones at thesame^ime. The suppleness and elasticity of the joints give way to a stiffness, the rack ing pains of rheumatism. The form gradually bends, the hones ache, while decrepitude and helplessness prema turely take possession of the booy, and it is but a short step to a pair of crutches. Then conies falling of the hair and decay of the bones,—a «>u- dition truly horrible. Contagious Blood Poison—the curse of mankind—is the most horrible of all diseases, and has al- ways baffled the doctors. Their pot- ash and mercury bottle up the poison, but it always breaks forth again attack ing some delicate organ, frequently the mouth and throat, filling them with eating sores. S.S.S., is the only known cure for this disease. It is guar anteed purely vege table, and one thousand dollars reward is offered for proof to the contrary. It never fails to cure Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, Eczema, Rheumatism, Cancer, or any other disease of the blood. If you have a blood disease, take a remedy which will not injure you.
