THE AMENDE HONORABLE.
We have just received a complete assortment of “Rochester’’
silver-nickeled ware which never rusts, chips or breaks and is
easy to repair.
First:—We wish to say that all this ware is made of solid
copper, heavily plated with nickel-silver by the largest copper
manufactory in the world.
SiiroNM—That a wash pan, dipper, coffee pot, tea kettle or dish
pan, made of this material—which costs very little more than
the ordinary heavy tin vessels—will wear for years and most pos
itively will not rust or crack.
Third—If you use this ware once you will buy no other, for it
is not only cheaper in the long run than the old-fashioned tinware
but it is an
Ornament
To -
Your Table
for it is simply a reproduction of Old Silver at less than one
tenth its cost. Ladies von will miss a treat if vou miss seeing
this line.
We also desire to call vour attention to our new line of willow
center tables, rockers and straight chairs. These are beauties
and you should see them, The prices on them are low and you
can afford to buy them.
Call on us.

Mr. Butler Takes the News and Courier
to Task. '
In its issuo of Tuesday, July 4th,
the Charleston News and Courier
printed Senator AIcLaurin’s speech
in full as a special from Spartanburg.
Mr. T. B. Butler determined that
(JafTney and Cherokee county should
not be robbed of anyof its achieve
ments by Spartanburg, sent the News
and Courier the following communi
cation :
To the Editor of The News and
Courier:
I notice in your issue of the
nth instant you have a “special”
from Spartanburg attributing the
speech printed in lull of Senator John
L. IMcLaurin as being delivered at
Spartanburg, when as a matter of
fact the speech that he delivered on
the 4th and published by you was
delivered here to an appreciative
audience of some four or five thousand
people. We are perfectly willing for
Spartanburg to claim and have what
she is entitled to, but w<j' object to
giving her credit for what Cagney
does. As was said by Senator Me-
Laurin in the course of his remarks.
“It is doubtful if a more patriotic
and more largely attended celebration
was being held in South Carolina as
was held here.” We are informed
that Spartanburg did not celebrate
the Fourth.
In the midst of Senator McLaurin’s
speech, when, referring to the battle
of Santiago he was handed a telegram
announcing the capture of Cervera
and the destruction of the Spanish
fleet the audience rent the air with
cheers of approval. Senator Mc
Laurin’s speech was well received and
delivered in a most eloquent manner.
Major James F. Hart was present,
as were the Hon. 1). E. Finley and
Attorney General Barber, and the
three made very patriotic speeches.
Please give honor to whom honor
is due and make the correction that
is due young, progressive and patriotic
Gaffney.
Thomas B. Butler.
To which the Nows and Courier
replied ns follows:
We apologize both to Gagney and
to Spartanburg. Nobody in Spar
tanburg is in any way responsi
ble for the error in the date
line to the short introduction of Sen
ator McLaurin’s speech. It was
simply one of those accidents that
will happen in the best regulated
offices, and we hope that Gagney will
receive all the honor due to the occa
sion.—Ed. The N. and C.
Crepe Paper
Presentment ot Grand Jury.
The following is the presentment
of the grand jury for the June term
of court. Its publication has been
delayed unavoidably, but we believe
it is of sufficient interest to go to our
readers at this late day:
The State of South Carolina, I
Cherokee County. j
To the Honorable D. A. Townsman,
Presiding Judge:—
We the Grand Jury of Cherokee
County, beg leave to make the fol
lowing presentment:
We have passed on all bills pre
sented to us by the solicitor. We
have examined all the county offices
and find their books well kept. We
have examined the books of the Gag
ney dispensary and find the books
and records in good condition. We
have examined the jail and find the
prisoners well cared for and the jail
well kept. It has been called to our
attention that certain magistrates in
the epunty are accustomed to re
leasing defendants who have been
convicted and sentenced before an
other magistrate on insufficient and
insecure bonds pending appeal, and
we earnestly recommend that this
practice be discontinued. We again
ask the aid of nil law abiding citizens
to aid the offices of the law in sup
pressing the crying evil of fornication
and adultery.
We thank His Honor, the Presiding
Judge, and all offices of the court for
their extended courtesies during our
session.
Respectfully Submitted,
E. P. Macomson.
Foreman.

A Curious Fire in the Produce and
Cotton Exchange.
A rather curious and disastrlous
fire occured in the city Monday after
noon about 3:4. r ) o’clock. Mr. Mc
Duffie, of tho produce and cotton ex-
change, had occasion to leave his of
fice for a few minutes. It is his
usual custom during business hours
when the weather is extremely warm
to hang his cout and vest on a hat
rack in the office. Monday'his coat
and vest was handing on tuis rack.
When be started out he put on his
coat, leaving his vest hanging 011 the
rack. He went out, locking the door
behind him. He had not been out
but a few minutes when parties on
the opposite side of the street.noticed
a cloud of smoko in the room. The
alarm was given. About this time
Mr. McDuffie returned and open the
door. He was surprised to find that
the partition was on fire. The hat
rack had been ruined and the vest
was almost entirely consumed by lire.
The bucket brigade got in its work in
good order and what might have
proved a disustrious confiuguratlon
was averted. On the floor lay the
charred remains of Mr. McDuffie’s
vest, Ids watch, still warm from the
effects of the blaze, anrt his knife,
all of which were in Ids pockets when
lie left. The ' watch was running.
The only thing miss'ng was the vest
and $300 in green backs which Mr.
McDuffie had in his pockets. No
traee of the latter could he found.
The only explanation of the fire is
this: In the pocket containing the
watch were a number of matches. It
is supposed that in taking down the
coat the vest was pulled out from the
wall and in swinging buck it went
with such force us to cause the
matched, which were in the pocket
with the watch, to explode, thus set
ting fire to the vest.
A Card.
On June 3rd, 1898, the town coun
cil passed an ordiance allowing bi
cycle riders certain privileges on the
sidewalk in the town outside of the
fire limits. A part of one section
exempted ladies from dismounting
when meeting, or overtaking pedes-
trains. This exemption was made
in deference to the fair sex. The town
council was aware of the fact that
this was unconstitutional, and hoped
no male bicycle rider would make a
test case, or kick, as we presumed all
would be willing to extend this pro
tection to the ladies as a matter of
courtesy. Contrary to the expecta
tions of the council this has been
done, and in consequence that sec-
section has been repealed, leaving
the ladies liable to the same penalty
as male riders for any violations of
said law. Respectfully,
L. Baker,
Town Clerk.

BIG RAILROAD DEAL GOING ON.
Ccmbinstion Between the S. C. & Q.
and the O. R. & C.
I Columbia state.]
A rumored railroad deal, said to be
about completed by which the Ohio
River & Charleston and the South
Carolina it Georgia Railroads are to
be combined and made one through
system from the sea to the moun
tains will be of interest to Columbia
and Charleston, as it will make rates
on ail articles to the teritory covcrr>d
by the Ohio River it Charleston road.
As it is now full freight has to bo
paid over two roads, but when the
South Carolina and tho Ohio River it
Charleston combine it will make one
road and no division of the rate will
be necessary.
The Ohio River A Charleston Rail
road runs from Camden, S. C., to
Marion, N. C., a distance of 168 miles
with a branch road from Blacksburg
to Gaffney, a disiance of ton miles.
Tho road in the last four years, under
the superintendency of Col. A. Tripp,
has made a number of improvements
in the road bed. All the large tres
tles between Blacksburg and Camden
have been filled in and thousands of
crossties have been put in the track.
In speaking to a gentleman well in
formed about the rumored deal, he
said. “If this scheme goes through
it will be one of the best things for
Columbia and Charleston that ever
happened ns it will bring much of tho
business of the up-country through
these cities, and when the proposed
branch road to Spartanburg is built
it will amount to a great deal to both
.Spartanburg, Columbia and Charles
ton.”
Two Hearts That Beat As One.
Last Sunday morn ing Mr. C. B.
W helchel and Miss Nannie Spencer,
two of Cherokee’s popular young
folks, met at Corinth church, several
miles below the city, and after a
while succeeded in eluding the watch
ful eye of the fair young lady
chaperon and made hast to the resi
dence of ’Squire I. G. .Surratt, at
Limestone. The genial ’Squire pro
ceeded to add the two together and
make one out of them. The young
couple departed with light hearts,
but we understand that the young
lady’s parents do not approve of the
step she has taken, claiming that she
was too young. However, all is over
now and it would bo the graceful
thing for the old folks at home to be
stow their blessing on the plucky
young couple.
Catarrh is
k
Not Incurable
But it can not be cured by spiny*,
washes and inhaling mixtures which
r^nch only the surface. The disease is
In the blood, and can only be reached
through the blood. S. S. 8. is the only
remedy ivhich can have any effect upon
Catarrh; it cures the*disease perma
nently and forever rids tiie system of
every trace of the vile complaint.

one can know the
suffering It produces
better than I. The
sprays #nd washes
a, pmscrtlxsd by the doc
tors relieved me only
. temporarily, and
though I uj*;d tfa.-m
constantly for ten years, the disease had a
firmer hold than ever. I tried a number of
