You Can’t Afford to Miss This Op portunity of Buying Dry Goods and Notions so Cheap. BOLD ROBBERY. Blood Hounds Used in an Effort to Catch the Thieves. On Sunday morning between 1 and 5 o’clock, The Gaffney Manufacturing Company’s store was broken into. The entrance was made by breaking out one of the plate glasses in one of the front windows. After entering tiie store the burglar or burglars pro ceeded to help themselves to such goods as they wanted. Only a small amount of money and some clothing and shoes were missed. Mr. Elam, one of the young men employed, was sleeping in the store at the time but heard nothing of the work while it was going on. The Company night watchman dis covered the burglary about 5 o’clock, and at. once notified Mr. Eison, who has charge of the store. Mr. Eison sent for Chief Duncan, of Blacks burg, to bring his bloodhounds. He arrived with his hounds on the 11, a. m. vestibule, and at once put them on the track where some old clothes had been left. The dogs ran it with out difficulty, going down the rail road towards Broad river about two miles, near the overhead bridge. Here they ran upon a camp of t wo tramps, but nothing was discovered to implicate the tramps, who said that two men hud passed their camp but had no signs of plunder with them. The dogs made the track off from tramp camp following the rail road a short distance, then left the railroad taking a path which they followed a quarter or half mile and could proceed no further. A large crowd of our people accom panied Chief Duncan and his dogs which perhaps prevented the dogs from being able to run the burglars further. At any rate no further pro gress couU be made and these free hooters are still at liberty and their identity is unknown. Too much credit cannot bo given Chief Duncan for his prompt re sponse to the call, and to Chief Camp of this city, and his assistant Police man Porter, for their efforts to se cure the culprits. Every one should aid them in their efforts to capture the thieves, am thereby inflict on them the punish ment such characters deserve. Now it seems to us that this rob bery should show our city authorities the necessity for a night police There is too much property here to be left alone in the night time to the tender mercies of lurking thieves. Mr. Chesterfield Scruggs Dead. Mr. Chesterfield Scruggs, one o the oldest citizens of this city, diet at his home here on the 24th of last month, after a few weeks illness. Although Mr. Scruggs had lived to be old, he had most of his life been in poor health. He was born and raised in what is now Cherokee county, and has most of his long life lived here. He married Miss Mills in early manhood and raised a large and most worthy family, of which his wife and three daughters and two sons survive him. Mr. Scruggs had always been a quiet unobtrusive citizen, kind neigh bor and affectionate husband and father. He had bc^n a member of the Baptist church most of his life, and at the time of his death held his membership with Providence church, just north of our city limits. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. P. Robertson at the res - deuce, and he was buried at Lime stone Cemetery on Friday. The pall bearers were, Messrs. Sam. Hopper, Thomas Alexander. J. J. Gaffney, J. A. Nantz, I. M. Peeler and Jake Shu ford. Rev. W. E. Crocker. The special attraction at tho First Baptist church last Sunday morning was the address of Rev. W. E. Crocker, who has just recently re turned from China. Mr. Crocker left this place for China in 1892 and spent more than four years preaching the gospel to the heathen. He has returned to this country because of the condition of his immediate family who need his presence and help. \\ bile in the field ho w’as enabled to accomplish a great deal of good in his Master’s service. We are glad to have this faithful servant of the Lord with us again. His address Sunday morning was full of interest and in formation. “The Corner Grocery.” ‘•The Corner Grocery” is the name of a new firm composed of A. C. Prid- inore, J. L. Hopper and W. O. John son, all bright and popular young business men. The business will he conducted in the store room lately occupied by H. L. Parks & Co.’s Bee Hive, corner Limestone and Freder ick streets. W. A.

The Daughters of the Revolution met some days ago in Washington, and we see it stated that there is still living 263 real daughters of sol diers of the Revolution. We do not know if the one living in Gaffney is numbered among the above, but ns we have a real daughter of the Revo lution in the person of Mrs. Eliza beth Kimbrel), living in our city, we wish to put her on record and let her be counted, if she has not already been. Mrs. Kimbrell is the daughter of Patter Enloe, who was a Virginian, and entered the American array in that State when in his 15th year, under Gen. Nathaniel Green, and served till the end of the war. Was engaged in several important battles, including Eutuw Springs, Blackstocks, King’s Mountain and Cowpens, in this State, and was discharged from the army in Virginia after tho war closed. He soon moved to Newberry Dis trict in this State, where lie married his first wife, who lived four years and bore him a son. After 18 years Mr. Enloe married Miss Nancy Chumler, in Spartan burg District, who bore him six chil dren, of whom Mrs. Kimbrel is one. Mr. Enloe lived near Woodruff, and died in February in 1833, in the 78th year of his age. Miss Elizabeth Enloe married Ja- vious Kimbrell October 29th, 1845, both celebrated their golden wedding on thej29th of October, 1895, in this city, by having a number of their neighbors to dine with them on that day. Her husband is still living and is a Confederate veteran. The above facts being all well au thenticated, gives Mrs. Kimbrell the proud distinction of being a daughter of a soldier of the Revolution. She is in her 75th year and is still able to do her home work and is much loved by all who come in contact with her. Gaffney is proud to have Mrs. Kim brell for a citizen. A nd may she yet have many years of health and hap piness vouchsafed to her and her aged and devoted husband. —— —• -••*- »- -—— To Confer the E. A. Degree.

CHIEF CAUSE Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys Is the chief cause, of bladder troubles. So tiie womb, like tiie bladder, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable 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 manifested in tiie kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort Tiie error is easily made and may be as easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi ment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
