NEW COUNCIL IN SESSION.
THEY ORGANIZE FOR THEIR
TERM OF OFFICE.
B. F. Camp is Elected Chief of Police
and B. S. Lipscomb, Assistant.
The Various Commit
tees, Etc , Etc.
The newly elected Intendant and
Wardens held their first meeting on
Friday, March the 4th, in the Coun
cil Chamber. All the members were
present and proceeded at once to bu
siness.
The first business taken up was the
election of town clerk and town
tresurer. L. Baker, the incumbent,
was elected clerk, and R. M. Wilkies
was elected treasurer. Mr. Baker
has proved his efficiency in his plact.
by several terms of faithful service;
and Mr. Wilkins is a man of good
business reputation, is of fine char
acter, and will prove a most compe
tent officer.
The council then elected B. F.
Camp, chief of police, and B. S. Lip
scomb assistant policeman. Both of
these gentlemen have had long expe
rience as police officers. Chief Camp
has been chief in (iaffney for six or
eight years. He has proved himself
to be a competent, cool conservative,
and courageous officer.
In Mr. Lipscomb, the assistant
policeman, is embodied all the good
ijualities of his chief with the activi
ty incident to youth.
Mr. S. Z. Hamrick, a tried man,
was elected street overseer. His
former efficiency commended him to
the council, and from him the city
will receive good service.
O. S. Kendrick was elected scaven
ger. Mr. Kendrick is thorough in all
his business, which assures us that
the city will have perfect work from
him.
After the above officers were elect
ed the intendant appointed the fol
lowing committees:
Ways and Means—L. Baker, E. J.
Barnett and R. M. Wilkins.
Streets. Public Grounds and Ceme
tery— E. R. Cash and R. M. Wilkins.
Lighting Town and Waterworks—
E. R. Cash. R. M. W'ilkins and E. J.
Barnett.
Guard House and Police—E. J.
Burnett, E. R. Cash and R. M. Wil
kins.
Public buildings and Fire Depart
ment—L. Baker, E. R. Cash and R.
M. Wilkins.
Town Property—L. Baker and E.
R. Cash.
Contracts—E. R. Cash and R. M.
Wilkins.
It will be seen from the above that
Galfney has tin efficient and trust-
worty set of officers. Knowing their
competency Gaffney expects much of
all of them jointly, and each one in
his sphere.
Upward and onward are Gaffney's
watchwords, and may these city
fathers guide her to the zenith of her
ambition.
The Mounds of Prehistoric Races.
We hear and read a great deal
about mounds and other works of
the mound builders, or prehistoric
races in the west. The mounds are
described as being of all sizes from
the tiny thing of a few feet in diame
ter to immense piles of earth, many
hundreds of feet in diameter and of
surprising height.
Many persons of this section read
of these wonders of tho west and
southwest with amazement and pass
around small types of them in Cher
okee county without giving them any
attention, not reflecting for a mo
ment, that they, too. are the work of
“the mound bulldera/' These
mounds can be found on Broad river
and King’s creek near its mouth. They
are on what is called the bottomland.
On King’s creek, is a mound which
tne writer has taken some pains
to examine, which presents indispu-
table evidence of having been built
by man and it has nothing to indicate
it to be a natural formation.
In addition to these on Broad river
and King’s creek, one is on Thickety
creek on the farm of Mr. Cliff Lip
scomb. It is situated on bis fine
corn-making bottom Ja"d, well off
from both lbs creek and hills ThL
one is very symmetrleal in shape, it
must be two hundred feet in diame
ter at its base and rises to a height of
t hirty or forty feet and also bears ev
idence of being constructed by man.
We have never heard much said
of these mounds, nor has Tuomey or
Leiber mentioned them in their geo
logical surveys of this State. The
mounds are nevertheless where we
report them to be, and we think
would be Interesting objects for the
curious or scientific t6 explore.

Home Raised Wheat.
D. C. Painter, one of Cherokee’s
best farmers, and one who prepares
his lands with a two-horse plow,
passed through the city on Saturday
with a wagon load of wheat on his
way to the mill. While Mr. Painter
was having wheat of his own raising
ground it would be hard to tell how
much western flour was sold in Gaff
ney to his brother farmers of Chero
kee. Does Mr. Painter’s two-horse
plow play any part, in his wheat
making?

Accidental Death.
Don Henderson, an industrious
young white man, twenty-two years
old, was accidentally killed Monday
while clearing some land near Del
linger’s, in Cleveland county, N. C.,
by a tree falling on him. After the
accident Dr. Roddy Miller was sum
moned to Mr. Henderson’s aid by
telephone, but the unfortunate yo Jng
man was dead before he reacheu
him. Mr. Henderson was known here
and his sad fate is deplored.

One of Two Ways.
The bladder'was created for one purpose,
namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as
such ii Is not liable to any form of diseiiM-
except hy one of two ways. Tin* first way is
from Imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way Is from careless local treatment
of other diseases
CTMEr CAC8E
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
Is the chief cause of Madder troubles. So
the wornh, like the 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 hark of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any pain,
disease or inconvenience manifested In the
kidneys, hack, bladder or urinary passage is
often, hy mistake, attributed to female
weakness or womb trouble of some sort
The error Is easily made and may lie as easily
avoided. To tind out correctly, set your
urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi
ment or settling indicates kidney or bladder
trouble. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Hr. Kllmci's Swamp-Knot, the great
kh n *y. and bladder remedy is soon realized.

The Funeral of the Late Mrs. Sams.
. The funeral of the late Mrs. R.
O. Sums was preachcil ut the First
Baptist church last Thursday by the
Rev. B. P. Robertson, assisted by
Rev. Mr. Dent, of the First Method
ist church, Rev. C. E. Roberson, of
the Presbyterian church and Rev.
J. A. Bell, of the Limestone Baptist
church. The services were highly
appropriate and deeply impresseed
all present. After the services Mrs.
Sams was interred in the family lot in
Limestone cerre ery in the presence of
many sorrowing relatives and friends.
The pall bearers were Col. T. Stobo
Farrow, R. S. Lipscomb, E. H.
DeCamp, Col. J. G. Wardlaw. Dr. S.
B. Crawley and Dr. J. M. Nesbitt.
Mrs. Sams was a woman of fine
character and attainments. She was
a quiet, meek Christian and a de
voted wife and mother, and well
understanding tho duties of those
characters, she performed them with
a faithfulness worthy of the highest
commendation.
Mrs. Sams was fifty-four years old,
was born at Georgetown, this state,
and was a daughter of the late Mort
imer Roberts and Mrs. Martha G.
Roberts. She was married to her
ever attentive and devoted husband,
Prof. R. O. Sams, on the 25th of May.
18B4, who, with her two sons and
seven daughters, she leaves saddened
and mourning because she is not.
The Discovery of the Day,
Aug. J. Bogel, the leading druggist
of Shreveport, La., says: “Dr.
King’s New Discovery is the only
thing that cures my cough, and it is
the best seller I have.” J. F. Camp
bell, merchant of Salford, Ariz.,
writes: “Dr. King’s New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs, and Colds.
I cannot say enough for its merits.”
Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption, Coughs and Colds is not an
experiment. It has been tried for
a quarter of a century, and today
stands at the head. It never disap
points. Free trial bottles at DuPre
Drug Company.
Case of Poisoning
Hood's Sarsaparilla Drives the Poi
son from the System, Quiets
the Nerves, Relieves Dyspepsia
and Catarrh.
“ While in the army I was poisoned In
wardly with poison oak, and I did not Ret
well for 15 years. My blood became «o
affected that I was taken with a harking
cough, and I wan thought to be Roing
into consumption. I took many different
medicines without avail, and Anally re
solved to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. When
I had Anisbed taking the Aral bottle tho
pimples began to disappear from my
body, and after I had taken threo bottles
I was well. I have also suffered with ca
tarrh tn the head and have been taking
Hood’s Sarsaparilla for this trouble, and
it helps me. In fact I take it for all ail-
menta and believe it has no equal as a
blood puriAer. It quiets the nervea and
gives refreshing strep. It has relieved
me of dyspepsia and built me up.” J. I.
