W. C. Hamrick was born in Cleve
land county, X. C., just thirty-eight
years ago. Brought up on tho farm
as he was, naturally he became ac
quainted with all the hardships and
vicissitudes incident to farm life as
well as the pleasures attending the
same. At an early age he evinced an
aptness for books.
His boyhood training consisted
mainly of the routine attendance of
the old field schools for two or three
months in each year. However, the
manifest love for books developed
into a craze and, when a young man,
he was placed in a high school and al
lowed to remain until completing his

academic education.
Returning to the farm again he
tilled the soil by day and, having
chosen medicine as a profession, read
medicine by night. Attaining his
majority, he attended medical lec
tures in Haltirnore and upon return
ing to his native State successfully
practiced that profession, until forced
from failing health to abandon it.
It was in the fall of 18S8 that the
democrats of Cleveland county, X. C.,
elected him to the legislature of that
State. Inexperienced though he
was in that branch of business, his
versatility and fitness was at once
recognized by that body, and in the
organization of the House he was
made chairman of one of the most
important committees in that body,
besides being placed on various other
committees.
After representing the people of
his native county for one term in the
legislature, he decided to look for
fields in which there was a better
living. In the fall of 1889 he moved
to Clifton, S. C., and engaged in the
mercantile business, in which his
capacity us a business man was dem
onstrated. However, to bring the
matter nearer, it was in the spring
of 1895 when Mr. Hamrick moved to
Gaffney to take charge of the store of
the Gaffney Manufacturing Company
that he settled among us.
Everyone is familiar with his polit
ical sagacity exhibited in the man
agement of the new county campaign
of which he was chairman.
The one qualification, however,
that some of his friends claim over
his opponents is that since he was
one of the two commissioners of our
county appointed in 1897, by the
Governor, to adjust all past indebt
edness and claims that exist between
the county of Cherokee and the
counties of Spartanburg, Union and
York, he is the better prepared to
enact such legislation for our county
as will in the near future arise from
our relations to these old counties.

Hotel Changes Hands.
The Blacksburg correspondent of
the Columbia State has N the following
to say of the recent change in the
management of the Cherokee Inn of
that city:
Cherokee Inn, our large and popu
lar hostelry, has recently been
taken charge of by Messrs. J. D. Ken-
neuy and D. L. Brown, two of our
most popular and successful business
men. Tho Inn, with its splendid ar
rangements for a first class hotel, its
fine location f° r health and comfort
and pleasure, the best of rairoad
telegraph and telephone connections
with the great cities of the country
should be one of the most popular
resorts for southern tourists in the
summer and northern tourists in the
winter. Already it has enjoyed a
good patronage from both sections,
hut it is capable of accommodating
many more, and under the present
management it will be found to be a
delightful resting place for invalids,
pleasure seekers and the traveling
public generally.

“ While in the army I was poisoned in
wardly with poison oak, and I did not get
well for 15 years. My blood became so
nuected that I was taken with a hacking
cough, and I was thought to be going
into consumption. I took many different
medicines without avail, and Anally re-
i solved to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. When
I bad finished taking the first bottle the
pimplea began to disappear from my
body, and after I bad taken three bottles
I was well. I have also suffered with ca
tarrh in the head and have been taking
Hood’s Sarsaparilla for this trouble, and
it helpi me. In fact I take it for all ail
ments and believe it has no equal as a
blood purifier. It quiets the nerves and
i gives refreshing sleep. It has relieved
me of dyspepsia and built me up.” J. I.
