The Japanese Lecture.
The lecture of Rev. A. Ishida, a
native of Japan, on the people and
customs of Japan, Monday night in
the Methodist church, was well at
tended. The audience proved to be
an interested one, and for nearly two
hours the lecturer held the close at
tention of his audience. The lecture
itself was good and it is evident that
the lecturer is quick to grasp the
ideas of his American cousins. It
was interspersed with a refreshing
and wholesome lot of humor and con
tained many truths.
Mr. Ishida should cut it short
though, for while it proves interest
ing for a time there is a good deal of
sameness about it and he unnecessa
rily wearies his audience by the
length of it,
A Prosperous Colored Farmer.
E. Littlejohn, of Webster, is one of
the most prosperous colored farmers
in this county. Monday and Tuesday
he sold sixteen bales of cotton and he
still lias more to sell. His business
last year with one merchant in Gaff
ney amounted to more than !j!700.
This year it will not be so large for
he managed to raise more home sup
plies. He conducts a nine-horse farm
and is a specimen of what a colored
man can do. It simply indicates that
color has nothing to do with success.
If a man wants to succeed he must
have push, pluck and perseverence.

Cotton Market.
The following prices prevailed in
the local cotton market yesterday.
Middling 5.50

The Excursion.
The colored excursion from Lancas
ter reached town Thursday afternoon.
The crowd was orderly and respect
ful. They spent the time until 11
o’clock that night in seeing the
sights and enjoying a festival pre
pared for them by a committee from
the Methodist church headed by Ed
Littlejohn. Another excursion will
he run from Rutherfordton later on j
and Ed will engineer the Gaffney
end of it also. He succeeds in giv
ing the colored visitors a good time.
A coach for white folks was at
tached and a number availed them-
seves of the opportunity to visit the
hustling capital of Cherokee county.
Baptist Gatherings.
Tomorrow and next day the Bap
tist Sunday Schools of Cherokee
county will hold their first aunual
convention at Providence Baptist
church, a mile and a half north of
this city. Preparations have been
made for a grand time.
Next Sabbath is the day set apart
for the Union meeting of the various
Baptist churches of this section. It
will take place at Limestone and Dr.
Montague will be the speaker of the
occasion. All the Baptist of this
section are expected to be on hand
and to bring well filled baskets as
dinner will be spread at. the spring.
Raise Tobacco.
R. B. Davis, of Goudeyville, was in
the city Tuesday. Mr. Davis is an
up-to-date farmer and he believes in
diversifying his crops. Ho suggests
as a plan to combat the low price of
cotton next year that each planter
cultivate at least one acre of tobacco
and that they can arrange to have a
buyer come here and buy it when it
is ready for the market. It is a good
idea and wo believe would be benefi
cial to our planters. Try it one time,
anyway.
A New Firm.
Messrs. M. G. Montgomery and A.
B. Gaines have formed a co-partner
ship under the firm name of Mont
gomery & Gaines and will conduct an
undertaking and furniture business
in the new brick store room recently
erected for them by N. H. Littlejohn.
The firm opened up for business
Tuesday are now receiving goods.
The Ledger wishes them success, for
they are both clever and popular.
Bottled Dp!
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
np the poison and dry it up in the
system, but they also dry up the marrow
in the bones at the same time.
The suppleness and elasticity of the
joints 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 boay, and
it is but a short step to a pair of
crutches. Then comes falling of
the hair and decay of the bones,—a con
dition truly horrible.
Contagions Blood
Poison—the curse
of mankind—is the
most horrible of all
diseases, and has al-
ways baffled the
doctors. Their pot-
a s h and mercury
bottle np 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 onlj
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 mercury; don’t do violence
to your system. Don’t get bottled up!
