THE LETJGEJt: GAFFNEY, 8. C.. DECEMBEH 9, 1897.
GALA WEEK.”
The V/hite House now occupied by Presi
dent McKinley is headquarters for this nation.
All important offices are filled by his appoint
ment. Armies, too, have their headquarters.
Orders are issued daily by the general in com
mand for the government troops. Headquar
ters are to be found in the mercantile world as
well. Take in a survey of the city and you will
come to the conclusion that the
BEE
HIVE
'"'Y . .
is headquarters for all trading humanity. The
rattle of the yard stick and the rustle of paper
is heard in our store from early morn till late
at night. Our store is crowded all the time.
There is evidently something attractive in our
store. We know it can’t be our good looks so
it must be the matchless prices. Bear with us
through this colnmn and it will be money in
your pocket.
CLOTHING AT COST.
Now this is something we don’t like to do, for
there is no fun in selling anything at cost, but
sometimes we are forced to do so. Owing to
large purchases in this line, and the low price
of cotton together with the warm weather,
very little has been sold. Every suit, overcoat
and pants to go at exact cost. Come to this
great sale whether you want to buy or not. It
will post you on prices. 100 pair Men’s Jeans
Pants, formerly sold for 75c to $1.00, now
going at 49c and 75c. 50 pairs black and
brown Cheviot Pants, formerly sold for $ 1.25,

Sunday Gamblers.
Just as we began to think end say
that our police were getting out of
business they pounced down on a
flock of negro gamblers Sunday in
Theodore Petty's house and captured
Henry Littlejohn. Henry Humes,
Albert Lockhart, Charley Fernandis,
and Glenn West. Henry Cancler and
Theodore Petty mado their escape.
Charley Reynolds was present but of
course was not playing.
Fernandis put up a forfeit, but
the others were put in the old cala
boose. the jail being already full.
During the night those in the cala
boose were released by some one on
the outside. Lockhart and West
did not leave but reported the ab
sence of tbe others. Such as were
present were fined by tbe Mayor at
his court on Monday morning.
These negroes are hard cases, as
are a great many others of tho
gang with which they run. We trust
that our city authorities will be able
to take such action as will completely
run such worthless reprobates out of
the city. ,
Daring Scoundrels.
Last Monday night, a little after
dark, two young men of rather good
appearance entered H. L. Parks <£
Co.’s store on tiie corner of Lime
stone and Frederick streets, and after
looking at a few goods one of them
picked up a shirt and started out
with it, when Willie Peden, one of
the young clerks in the store, caught
hold of him and told him to lay the
Hlirt down. Tho other man put a
pistol in Mr. Peden's face and 'told
him to let that man go. Tkey Both
loft with the shirt and have not been
heard of since. ' . *
Mr. Peden says ho thinks he has
seen the men before but lie does not
know them.
Minerals In Cherokee.
Cherokee county contains more
valuable minerals than any county
in Sout h Carolina, consisting of al
most all ot natures valuables for
which miners seek. Mr. W. 11.
Mercer, of Blacksburg, a practical
miner, paid u visit recently to tbe
Georgia gold fields, of which wo
hav» heard so much. Mr. Mercer
says that he saw nothing in Georgia
as good as what lie sees in Cherokee
any day. Still our mines are not
worked nor do we hear much of them.
Like Unto The Fooliah Virgins.
We learn that some of the people
in Cherokee county contemplate
making an effort to have part of it
cut off and returned to one of the oid
counties. Now of course, these good
people have a right, to make an effort.
But Cherokee county is an establish
ed county, containing four hundred
and twenty-eight and a fraction
s«<uare miles and the Constitution
does not allow any territory cut off
from so small a county.
Public Sales.
Only the Hamlet Jefferies land and
the Galloway lot and storehouse, on
Limestone street, were sold on Mon-
(I »>. The Galloway property brought
83,400 and wai bought by T. G. Me-
Craw. Tbe Jefferies land, 270 acres,
was sold for partition and was
bought by Mrs. M. H. Jefferies for
$82.').

Sunday at the Churches.
Rev. A<j. Lauaslou, ot A'acolei,
preached in the first Baptist church
last Sucday morning, and the Revs.
MiSSta. liieanoj, Beil and the pallor
made interesting addresses on mis
sions at night.
The regular services were conduct
ed at the Presbyterian and Methodist
churches by the pastors. It was
Rev. Mr. Crout’s last service before
Conference, and we hear it intimated
that he will not be returned to us
next >ear. Mr. Crout is industrious,
intelligent and devoted to his work,
and The Ledger yet hopes to have
him with us again.

One of Two Ways.
The bladder wa» m-aleii for one purpose,
uaruely, a r>‘f«-ptiici»- for the urine. anU as
such it is not liable to any form of disease
except by one of t*o way>>. The first way is
from imperfect actioii of the kidneys. Tin
second vr.xy is from careless local treatment
of other diseaeet
< fiir.r CAnsc
CnhcHlthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is tho chief cause of bladder troubles, ro
the womb, like the bladder, was created for
one purpose, and if not doctored too much is
rot fittbie to weakness or disease, except In
rare cases It is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain,
disease or Inconvenience manifestea In the
kidneys, hack, bladder or urinary passage is
often, by mistake, attriiiuu-d to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort
The error is easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set your
urine aside for twenty-four hours; a s< di-
mem or settling indicates kidney or hi add r
trouble. Tin- mild and the extraordinary
effect of Ur. Klliner’sdwamp-Uoo’.the meat
kidney, and bladder remedy is soon realized,
if you need a medicine you should have the
best. At drujiirists fifty cents and one
dollar. You may have a sample bottle ami
