The preparations for the Fourth of July celebration continue and the present outlook i« that we will cele. brate on a much larger scale than we anticipated. The finance committee has nearly completed its canvass of the city for subscriptions. As matters now stand they will need about $50 in addition to what they already have to carry out the ideas of the promoters of th e celebration. This small amount should be raised without diinculty. The baseball committee have ur‘ ranged a game of baseball with the Kings Mountain team, and it may confidently be expected to be a good game, us the Kings Mountain boys will use their utmost endeavors to j win tdie game. They are anxious to win the game in order to be even with (tulTney and our boys are just as anx ious that they add another game to their list of victories. The committee on grounds went to work on the grounds and truck Mon day and are putting things in elegant shape. The bicycle track is being enlarged and the baseball diamond put in good order. The advertising committee have received the lithographs and put out their advertising matter. Senator Mchaurin will be accom panied by his wife. Mrs. McLaurin is one of South Carolina’s most charming ladies and her presence will add as much to the success of the celebration us will the presence of the Senator himself. Mr. McLau rin attributes his success in life as much to the ambitious lady who lias joined her lot with his as he does to any of Ids own efforts. The ball committee are making all necessary arrangements for one of the most successful the city. The tournament riders are prac ticing daily on the course on Rutledge Avenue and the boys are becoming quito proficient. The bicycle races will be confined strictly to amateur riders of North and South Carolina. The prizes will be varied and handsome. Our friends in the country and nearby towns are taking quite an in terest in the celebration and the in dications are that every man, woman and child for miles around, who can possible do so, will be present. We have the assurances of a large delega tion from Kings Mountain, Grover, Blacksburg, Cowpens and Thickety on the Southern, and every station on the 0. R. Ac C. will send a delegation. Both railroads will give reduced rates for the occasion. - THEY BROKE EVEN. Decree for the Sale of the O. R. & C. Railroad. One of the most important features j of tlio I'nited States circuit court' that adjourned in Charlotte last week was a decree for the sale of the Ohio River ard Charleston railroad which was granted by Judge Simonton. This action was taken on a hill filed by the Finance Company, n corpora tion doing business in the state of I Pennsylvania with head cilice in Philadelphia, through its The Way They Appreciate The Ledger. Among those to renew their sub scription to the Ledcki: the past week were two old patrons, one from Texas and the other from Spartan burg. In remitting, the Texas sub scriber took occasion to say: ‘‘I have been lost since you stopped the paper. Please don’t do so any more, but when I am in arrears just draw ion me and the draft will always be , honored promptly.” Gur friend In j Spartanburg wrote: "Through the legal repre- , kindness 0 f a friend The Ledger has senativo, Mr. P.

The Gaffney Baseball Team went over to Kings Mountain last Friday morning to try conclusions with tho Kings Mountain team. Two games were played, one in the forenoon and the other in the afternoon. The first game resulted in a victory for the Kings Mountain boys by a score of 17 to 12, and tho second game in favor of the Gaffney boys by a score of 19 to 11. Both games were, in baseball parlance, slugging matches. A number of good plays were made on both sides. To say that the boys enjoyed them selves is placing it mildly. No set of ball players ever had a better time. The treatment they received on and off the diamond was all that could possibly have been desired. Mr. McGinnis, the umpire, was particu larly fair to tho visitors, and his decisions were in the main correct. The Kings Mountain boys paid the Gaffney boys marked attention. In the evening a reception was tendered the ball players at the elegant home of the Misses Rudisille. Miss Minnie Rudisille, the hostess, was exceeedingly charming, in her entertaining, as were also the young ladies who assisted her. The music was entrancing, the singing good, the conversation bright and the refresh ments delicious. It was close on to train time before the boys could be induced to leave and then it was with difficulty some of thorn could be gotten away. It was the opinion of all present that the Kings Mountain young ladies were Indeed the pick of Nortli Caro- ling girls. We anticipate having them with us on July 4th and they may rest asured that they will enjoy themselves. And now a word on behalf of our boys. We do not like to brag on them but we must say we never had the pleasure of accompanying a more gentlemanly set of ball players. UsfTney can well risk her reputation in the hands of such clever fellows. They did themselves and the town credit by their gentlemanly behavior both on and off the diamond, and we are proud of them. publish all the nice things we hear said concerning the Ledger, but once and a while we publish such tes timonials as these just to let. our friends at home know how it is appreciated abroad.

This is true of the housewife’s manifold du ties and ap proximately true of the thousands who work all day in factor ies and stores and half the night in making and mending their own clothes or sewing for others to patch ont a meagre income. Women wno are too much on their feet, or who are unable to stand the strain of over-work and worry, are peculiarly susceptible to the weak nesses and irregularities that are the bane of womankind. The symptoms of such derangements are insufficient or excessive menstruation, headache, backache, neu ralgia, leucorrhcca, displacements and ex treme nervousness amounting in many cases to hysteria. The use of morphine is dangerous and examinations by male phy sicians are painful and unpleasant.
