iitisfaction
Curanteed.
The Second Baptist church is in
the north-eastern portion of the city
on Cherokee street. It is one of the
handsomest houses of worship in the
city, is capacious and of modern
architectural design. The seats are
of the latest and most comfortable
style and the lighting and ventilation
are perfect.
For this fine house-of worship,
Gaffney is indebted to the Christian
workers employed at the Gaffney cot
ton mill. These good people have
been assiduous in their efforts to se
cure this church and all Gaffney is
proud that success lias crowned their
effort, ai.d that we have another tem
ple of worship among us, an evi
dence of piety and an ornament
to the city.
This fine church was dedicated last
Sunday. The pastor and officers of
the First Baptist church attended in
a body, and the pastors and officers
of other near-by churches were in
vited and many attended.
Services began by singing Doxology
after which the invocation was offer
ed by the pastor, Rev. J. M. Bridges,
and “All bail the power of Jesus’
name” was sung by the congrega
tion.
Rev. B. P. Robertson, pastor of
the First Baptist church, then deliv
ered an historical sketch of the new
church from its incipiency, in
cluding preliminary work, organiza
tion of church, building of house
and its workings up to this day of
dedication This sketch was care-
fully arranged, and included histori
cal facts, time will be of benefit and
interest to this county as long as his
tory is recorded. Mr. Robertson’s
remarks were delivered in his usual
quiet, but forcible style, and was one
of the interesting features of the
occasion.
A collection was then taken up
for State Missions and the hymn
“My hope is built on nothing less”
was beautifully rendend by the
S. A. DANIELS, The Jeweler.
’X. B.—I will receive this week a beautiful collection of
diamond rings.
CON^'CMPTION
choir, assisted largely by the congre-
gaf ion.
Dr. T. M. Bailey, secretary and
treasurer of state missions, was pres
ent to preach the dedicatory sermon,
and selected for hia subject, “A
New Testament church.” Dr. Bailey
treated his subject in all its phases
and presented it to his large congre
gation in a manner both forcible and
pleasing, and kept the large assem
blage of people, which filled the
house to overflowing, in wrapped at
tention during Us delivery. Dr.
Bailey was up to the high expecta
tions of his admiring hearers.
The dedication prayer was then
offered by Rev.J. M. Bridges with a fer
vor which we trust made it acceptable
on high. After the singing of another
appropriate hymn and the benedic
tion by Prof. S. A. Chambers, the
large congregation repaired to their
respective homes comforted by the
sacred services of the day.

Rhodes’ Merrymakers
Rhodes’ Merrymakers, presenting
legitimate drama and
specialties will occupy
house tonight, tomorrow
Saturday night. This company comes
well recommended and must have
some merit or they could not afford
to stay in a town the size of Gaffney
for three nights. The prices will be
25c and 35c. They will present,
“The ifeart of Cuba,” “The Great
Diamond Mystery.” and “The Gold
Fields” during their engagement.
Of the company the .Spartanburg
Herald of Tuesday says: The
Rhodes’ Merrymakers arrived in the
citv Sunday. Last evening they pre
sented at the opera house “The
Heart of Cuba,” a charming drama,
to a large and packed audience. The
play was well presented and equally
us well received. The audience at
intervals attested their appreciation
in a most hearty and enthusiastic
manner. Every actor did well and
the specialty features were all new
and up-to-date. The drama, not only
presented the Cuban cause in a most
patriotic a id catchy manner, but the
actors also kept the narrative of this
island’s struggle for independence up
to the present day.

One of Two Ways.
The bladder wits created for <>ue purpose,
namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as
such It Is not liable to any form of dl*ea?c
except by one of two wavs. This first way is
from imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way Is from careless local treatment
of other diseases
CHIEF CACHE
ITiheuithy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So
the womb, 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 isick of and very
close 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 find out. correctly, set your
urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sedi
ment or settlliiK indicates kidney or bladder
trouble. The mild and the extraordinary
clfect of I>r. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the creat
kidney, and bladder remedy Is soon realized,
if you need a medicine you should havethe

“ Nearly all my life I have had one cold
ofter anot her and the trouble seemed like
catarrh in the head. There were dia-
charges from my ears, and my hearin.j
became affected. I took • number of
kinds of medicine but I grew worse in
stead of better. Ono day I procured a
bottle of flood’a Sarsaparilla and began
taking It, and soon found it was doing
me good. I gained atrength and was
greatly benefited in many ways. Icca-
tinuod its uao and now the bad feeling in
my head is gone, and the earache wi*h
which I suffered has disappeared. I am
