Last Friday inorDiog about D o’clock the splendid new residence of Mr. Moses Wood, on t he corner of Rich ardson Street and Limestone Avenue was discovered to be on tire. It caught between the roof and the ceiling, supposedly from a defective Hue. The house was large, new, and one of the handsomest in the city. Mr. Wood built it for himself and had only occupied it about one year. A little of the furniture on the first floor was saved. Everything on the second lioor, including the clothing of the family, was lost. An immense crowd turned out and rendered such aid as was possible. Mr. Wood’s loss will exceed $2 OOP, insurance $1,000. After the house had burned down and every one was busy securing such furniture as had been saved, Mr. Wood asked if his sword had been saved. It was handed to him, he drew the blade half out of the scab bard, looked at it a moment, shoved it back and said, “she’s all right,’’ now where is my “baker?” Upon be ing assured of its safety too, he evinced a degree of satisfaction hard to conceive of amid such misfortune. The sword Mr. Wood had worn during the war. He hud it on and was in command of his company “F.” 15th South Carolina volunteer in fantry, when it surrendered with Gen. Joe Johnson, at Greensboro, N. 0., in 1805. The baker was the one used by Mr. Wood’s company during the latter part of the war. He brought it home with him, has care fully kept it and says “money can’t buy it.” Mr. Wood and his family are of our best people and their loss is regretted by all. HISTORY. He Incidents of the Revolutionary War of Local Interest. When Turleton retreated after his defeat by Morgan at the battle of Oowpens, he passed over the ground that Gaffney is now on. Ferguson on his retreat from Gil- berttown, X. C., also passed over the present site of Gaffney, and was over taken and killed and his army de feated at Kings Mountain by North Carolina, South Carolina and Vir ginia militia, under Col, Wm. Camp bell, of Virginia. Cols. John Sevier, Isaac Shelby, Joseph McDowell and Benjamin Cleveland, of North Caro lina, and James Williams, Thomas Brandon, Edward Lacy and Benja min Roebuck, of South Carolina. Col. William was from Laurens county and after displaying great gallantry at Kings Mountain, as he had done on many fields before, was mortally wounded and died the next day, and was buried on what is now the Mintz farm, just above the Southern Railway. Col. Brandon was a Union county man, and com manded the 2d Spartan regiment. His field officers were Lt. Col. Win. Farr and Maj. Joseph McJunkin. Col. Lacy was from Chester county, and was drowned several years afier the war in one of the western states. Col. Roebuck was from the western part of Spartanburg county and lived many years after the war. Col. Brandon was a hard fighter and he, as well as Farr and McJunkin, was dis tinguished for his hard fighting throughout the war. The location of Col. Williams’ grava is known and cared for by Mr. Mintz. It is in Cherokee county and un marked. We trust that Cherokee county will take the grave under its czre and mark it in a manner that will let generations yet to come know where the grand old warrior rests. Cherokee Farmers. As far as we know the tenant far mers who have considered it to their interest to change farms this year hare moved and are ready for work. A great many of them are our best farmers. How much better it would be for them if they would buy a tract of land suited to their purposes and put their hard licks in on their own laud and permanent improvement for themselves. The farmers are taking advantage of a good day now when it comes. They are pushing preparations for another crop. We trust that a mis- lick will not be made. That every one will be directed by good judgment and yield good returns. Also that most of them will be put in on pro vision crops. If they are, this time next year Cherokee county will be independent. Unclaimed Letters. List of letters remaining in office uncalled for to date: Mrs. Nora Campbell. Jno. E. Haskins.

Id tit Passes Through Gaffney on His Way to New Orleans. Harry Chester, better known the country over as the “globe trotter” arrived in Gaffney last Thursday noon en route to New Orleans. He left Boston Oct. 21th. to walk to the Crescent City then to Chicago and back to Boston in eight months. Chester has made his living during the past ten years by his many long tramps across the country and, at one time, in 1890-01, lie nearly cir cled the entire civilized world on foot. On that journey he left Chicago May 7. 1800. and had an agreement with one of the big Chicago dailies to walk around the world in thirty months for a purse of $50<H.. His itinerary included England, France, Spain, Italy and Turkey, there he was arrested and transported across the border for travelling without pass ports. Ho next visited Egypt, then went to Belgium, Austria, Hungary and Germany, reaching Chicago again Dec. 19, '01, after being on the road 19 months and travelling about 12,000 miles. In 1898 he walked from Chicago to San Francisco in 118 days and in May ’95 from Chicago to New York was covered by him in 21 days and 14 hours. He is the same man who brought out the famous “paper suit” man in Boston. On his travels Chester supports himself by the sale of song books and papers. He is also a good lecturer and sleight-of-hand artist, and often appears in theatres and museums in these roles. He is the possessor of nine handsome medals won in con tests against time and distance and he has also received various large purses, but he has spent them in a large manner and today he is as poor as ho ever was. He left here last Friday morning and expects to finish his journey inside the time limits. One of Two Ways. The bladder was created for one purpose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such it is noi liable to any form of (llse:i*o except by one of two ways. The first way is from imperfect action of the kidneys. The •.ecotid way is from careless local treatment of other diseases CHIEF CAUSE I’ll heal thy urine from unhealthy kidneys is tin* chief cause of bladder troiib'es. So tin: womb, like the bladder, was ensiled for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases It is situated hack of and very dose to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, hack, 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 be as easily avoided To tlnd out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi ment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
