The Dreaded Consumption
Can be Cured.
tl. A Slocum, the Great Chemist and Ccientist,

Nothing could be fairer, more phil
anthropic or carry more joy to the
afflicted, titan the generous offer of
tiie honored and distinguished chem
ist, T. A. Slocum. M. 0., of New
York City.
He has discovered a reliable and

By-Laws Were Submitted and Adopted
Tuesday.
The Farmers Mutual Fire Insur
ance Company met Tuesday in the
court house pursuant to a special
call made at the lust meeting one
week ago. The President and Secre
tary and Treasurer were present with
about fifteen or twenty members.
Bylaws were drafted and submitted
to the convention, which were
adopted. The election of a Vice-
President, Agent and Directors was
deferred until the next regular call
meeting, which is called for next
Monday, April 4th, at which a full
attendance of old members and those
wishing to become members is ex
pected. See the notice for the special
call meeting for next Monday in
another column. It was decided to
give all persons wishing to become
members of the association, who will
do so within the next 30 days, the
privilege of joining at the same cost
as the old members will have to pay,
which is comparatively nothing,
thereby saving the agents’ commis
sion of .to.OO per $1,000 insurance
written. Every old policy holder in
the county should be here next Mon-
day, as well as all of those wishing to
become members, as the important
matter of the election of a Vice-Presi
dent, Agent and Directors will come
up and the election held. There are
to be three Directors for each town
ship elected. At the meeting Tues
day about $2’>,000 worth of polities
were represented, all of which have
been withdrawn from the old counties
and entered in the Cherokee County
Company.
Buildings and Material.
Many new houses are now being
built in Gaffney. They embrace all
classes from the most simple cottage
to the finest Piedmont residences
and business houses. All the heavy
lumber for these buildings is being
furnished by mills in the county, and
all the dressed lumber comes from
abroad, u natural occurrence as we
have no planning mills or other
wood working machinery in the city.
But we were a little surprised a few
days ago to see bricks coming in by
the car loads for one of tire buildings
going up, and this in the face of the
presence of many brick makers and
machines in the city. We could not
account for these imported bricks
only on the hypothsis that the sup
ply in Gaffney had been exhausted,for
we know that good bricks can be
made in Gaffney, and believe that
our enterprising brick makers would
not force our people to get bricks
abroad in order to get a good quality.
