THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., OCTOBER 31,
^ "THIS ^
Presents a most animated scene from early morn till the closing hour. Every department loaded with bargains. Every department crowded
with customers. The old way wont do. You can’t raise cotton at 5 to 6 cents a pound and pay large profits on what you have
to buy. You must buy from that firm who keep in touch with the manufacturers and sells you goods the cheapest.

“KNOWLEDGE
IS POWER.
Now there’s lots of truth in this saying and if you have
any “knowledge” of the whereabouts of our store and the
“power” to get to it, it will pay you to light right out and
come at once as we mean to sell goods this week in accord
ance with the low price of cotton. If you don’t know
where our store is—ask ! Anybody can tell you and when
once you’ve traded with us you will see that your “knowl
edge” which brought you to us gave you the “pow’er” to
save more of your money than you could possibly have
done elsewhere. Look for the big sign and come to

The Personal Property of the Citizens
of Cherokee County.
We are indebted to Auditor Camp

3.974 head of cattle valued at $34,*
877; 1852 mules valued at $71,905;

We have $105,530 Invested in prop
erty appertaining to merchandise;
$62,685 of property appertaining to
manufactories; $475,590 is the value
of the manufactured articles on hand;
the value of moneys, including bank
hills and circulating notes is put at
$23,675, while the value credits is

outside of the county, except national
bank stock, as it is placed at $85,
while the bonds not exempt from

value of all other property is placed
at $87,711, making the total returns
$957,740 or $42,260 short of $1,000,-
000. This does not include the
land and railroad property in* the
county, which, in round numbers,
will amount to $1,959,134 making a
grand total of $2,916,874 worth of
property in Cherokee county.
Four Generations.
While in the city last week Artist
Rokling, the photographer of Colum
bia, made a photograph of Mr. Jas.
Wood, Mrs. Sallie Lipscomb, Mr. It.
8. Lipscomb and little Miss Jessie
Lipscomb on one card. The quartette
represents four generations and the
picture is a credit to Mr. Reckling’s
ability as a photographer.
Resides this Mr. Reckling photo
graphed the Gaffney Light Infantry
in a body and did considerable other
work while here.
Paying Taxes.
Treasurer J. R. Jones has begun
the collection of taxes for this year.
Mr. Hugh Moore, our venerable
friend from the Providence neighbor
hood, waa the first man to pay taxes,
while his old friend, Mr. M. M.
Glover, was the second man to pay.
Cherokee has no better citizens than
Messrs. Moore and Glover.

•‘War a Good Warfare.”
At the Presbyterian church last
Sabbath evening Rev. C. E. Robert
son, who is the chaplain of the Gaff
ney Light Infantry, preached the first
annual sermon to the military com
pany. The church was comfortably
filled. The military made a remark
ably good showing and were the re
cipients of many compliments.
Chaplain Robertson never spoke to
better advantage and his discourse
showed much thought and study.
His subject was "War a good war
fare," supplemented by several other
appropriate texts and bis audience, as
well as Capt. Bell’s boys, paid him
marked attention.
His Throat Slashed.
Thursday afternoon a well known
negro character named Pete Ross,
who lives on Capt. 8. S. Ross’ place
a few miles bslow the city, and Ed
Gist, another negro who lives on the
same place, were in the city together.
They took on a little too much dis
pensary or original package stuff and
aft»r leaving the city became in
volved in a difficulty, during which
Ed slashed Peter across the throat
with a knife, almost severing the
jugular vein. Petor is living and
may recover, although he ib in bad
siiape. Ed has thus far eluded cap
ture.
One of Two Ways.
The bladder was created for one purpoae,
namely, u receptacle for the urine, and as
such u Is not liable to any form of disease
except by one of two ways. The lirst way Is
from Imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way Is from careless local treatment
of other diseases
CHUCK CACHE
In healthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
Is the chief cause of bladder troubles, ho
the womb, like the bladder, was crested for
one purpose, and If not doctored too much Is
not fiahle to weakness or disease, except In
rare cases It Is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefor* any pain,
disease or Inconvenience manifested In the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage Is
often, by mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort
The error Is easily made and may Ik- as easily
avoided To Und out »s»rreetly. set your
urine aside for twenty-four hours; u sedi
ment or siiitllug indicutes kidney or bladder
trouble. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of !>r. Kilmer's SI trump-Root, the cn »t
