The physicians of Cherokee county will meet next Saturday at Gainey to organize a county medical associa tion. This is a step in the right direc tion. Cherokee county can boast of some of the most proficient physi cians and surgeons in the State and there can be no doubt but that their organizing for social and professional purposes will redound to the good of themselves and their patients. He Slew The Last Deer. T. C. Patterson, who lives down in the fork of Hroad river and London creek was in the city on Tuesday and while here paid The Ledqkb a visit. About 18 years ago Mr. Pat terson killed, near his home, the last wild deer in what is now Cherokee county. It was a tine buck and weighed 115 pounds. Since that time no one has seen or heard of a wild deer anywhere near us. It is not often that a physician recommends a patent medicine ; when he does, you may know thot it is a good one. Dr. J. P. Cleveland, Glas gow. Vu., writes: “I have used Cham berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in my practice and it has proven to be an excellent remedy, where a thorough course of medicine had fulled with me. I recommend it to my patients every time for colic and diarrhoea.” Many other progres sive physicians recommend and use this remedy, because it always cures quickly. Get a bottle and you will bav^ an excellent doctor in the house, for all bowel complaints, both for cb ii4 ren a,ld adults. For sale hy Dtfrre Drug Co. Grand Jury Presentments. The State of South Carolina, ( County ok Cherokee. \ To the Hon. J. C. Klugh, Presiding Judge. We, the Grand Jury of Cherokee county, beg leave to make the fol lowing presentment: We have carefully examined the county offices and find them neatly and well kept. We again call the immediate atten tion of the commissioners to the need of a jail, as we consider the pre sent one insufficient to the health and security of the prisoners. We have complaint from various sections of the county in regard to the had conditions of the roads, and we urge that the supervisor take immediate steps to put the same in good condition. We find complaints of fornication ' and adultery in various sections of the county, and we call on all law abiding citizens to aid the officers of the law in suppressing this evil. We have examined all the trial justice’s hooks except R. W. Lee’s, and find the same properly kept. We recommend that the supervisor be empowered to buy and furnish books and blanks for the various magistrates for the criminal docket in their courts. We recommend that the county commissioners of the county carry out in good faith, the contract made with the people of the town of Gaff ney and certain trustees represent ing the whole people of the county, to-wit: Hold the town hall for court house purposes until the peo ple of Gaffney pay the bond of fif teen thousand dollars into the county treasury; then take this sum and build us a neat house and replace tke money used for a jail as heretofore recommended. We enter our earnest protest against accepting the town hall and vacant lot, and surrendering the fif teen thousand dollar bond us a con sideration for the same, as we con sider the hall insufficient for court house purposes, and we do not con sider it worth the bond. We thank the presiding judge, solicitor, and officers of the court for their courtesy during our session. E. P. Macomson, Foreman. Go out west, young man, if you want to blow up with the country. k NEW TRIUMPH. The Dreaded (Consumption Can be Cured. T.

When ia- formed that my father had died from the same disease, they said I must die, as hereditary Cancer was incurable. "At this crisis, I was advised to try S.S.S., and in a short while the Cancer began to discharge and continued tod* so for three months, then it began ta heal.
