What They Say About....
Harris Lithia Water:
©SJTLV©
RUN DOWN BY THE SHIFTER.
Mr. J. T. Harris:
Dear Sir:—! have found the use of the wa
ter from your Lithia Spring in South Carolina
so eitieueioua In the ease of a young lady pa
tient of mine, who has suffered for years with
IMabetes, with all Its different attendants,
that 1 want to add my testimonial to
the many you already have. The patient
I refer to has used the water freely at
home for seareely a month now. with
more beneficial results than from months
spent at different noted lithia springs in
different parts of the United (states, Ijesides
long continued use of the same waters at
home. Other of my patients and friends arc
now using the same with la-st results. I cor
dially recommend it to all suffering from
similar diseases.
Very respectfully yours.

Pres. Southern Medical College.

“The Harris Lithia Water Is, in my opinion,
unexcelled for those ailments requiring the
salts It contains.

Asheville, N. C.. April, 24. 18itt. -An ex
tended clinical use of the Harris Lithia Wa
ter prompts me to the statement that I re
gard it as one of the l>est, If not the best,
Lithia Water known to the profession. In
the condition of Phosphatie Urine, Its action
Is marvelous. Its use In the Bin umatic and
Oouty diseases afford me more comfort than
either the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters.

The accident occured near the
crossing opposite the office of the
Gatlney Manufacturing Company
about <> :30 o'clock, and the evidence
adduced at the coroner’s inquest,
held by I. G. Sarratt, Esq., and jury,
release the railroad company of all
blame in tiie matter.
According to eye witness it seems
as if Hawkins was drinking and was
crossing the track and that at the
same time a shifting engine was en
gaged in shifting cars. His hat blew
off and he started back to get it.
Fred Destaffino was an eye witness
to the affair. He was standing near
a seed house and hollered at Hawkins
to lookout, that the train was com
ing. Hawkins did not seem to hear
or at least paid no heed to the warn
ing, and the train bore down upon
! him, knocking him down and run-
; ning over his body,
j The body was terribly n.angled.
, The neck was broken, the bowels
! bruised, the .right hip crushed and
] the left hip bone fract ured, and he
i ai.^o sustained three scalp wounds.
Squire I. G. Sarratt empaunelled a
jury which rendered the foliowing
verdict: “Deceased came to his death
by carelessly stepping upon the rail
road track in front of a moving train."
The body was removed to the home
of the brother-in-law of the unfortu-
n;;!o man, T. W. Hendrick, where it
received all due attention, and was
buried Tuesday.
Ed Hawkins was not a prosperous
man of the world but all who knew
iiim sooko of him as a clever, good fel
low,-and his only fault was his inclina
tion to take a dram. He leaves u
wife and a number of children to
mourn his loss.

Gaffney Manufacturing Company.
The streets have been crowded
every day this week with the
candidates and their friends. All
were in a good honor but each was
hustling for himself or his particular
candidate.
E. G. Blacy has gone to housekeep
ing with his mother and sister in the
Dr. Holmes house. Wo trust the ex
perience will be altogether delighl-

Fred to even take a step farther.
In last week’s Lkdgkk the initials
of Mr. A. 8. Corry become trans

It is A. Smith Corry who is selling

we are not acquainted with the latter
name.
In a private letter to relatives in
this city 8. L. 8ettlerneyer writes
