mountain wagons these days full of

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.

Re-Arrcrted.
Ben Jefferies, who was arrested for
the murd t of Giles Thompson and
released by the coroner’s jury, has
been re-arrested on the same charge
and committed to the Union county
jail. 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.
Beware of merenry; don’t do violence
to your system. Don’t get bottled np!
