THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., OCTOBER 27, 1898 7 • Dr, Miles 9 Heart Cure ' Cure* a Prominent Attorney. M R. R. C. PHELPS, the leading pension attorney of Belfast, N. Y., writes: “I was discharged from the army on account of ill health, and suffered from heart trouble ever since. I frequently had fainting and smothering spells. My form was bent as a man of 80. I constantly wore an overcoat, even in summer, for fear of taking cold. I could not attend to my busi> ness. My rest was broken by severe pains about the heart and left shoulder. Three years ago 1 commenced using Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, notwithstanding I had used so much patent medicine and taken drugs from doctors for years without being helped. Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure restored me to health. It is truly a wonderful medicine and it affords me much pleasure to recommend this rem edy to everyone.” Dr. Miles' Remedies are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re funded.

Thaxton haa charge of the street force, which assures good work. If you are past learning, from the experience of others, stay away from the next State Fair. The Graded schools bring out a magnificent display of children on our streets every morning and after noon. A. L. Fortenberry, who was so se verely injured by Butler some ten days ago, is now thought to be im proving. How to keep the boys on the farm? Take them off of it occasionally when such an opportunity as the next an nual State Fair presents itself. Capt. W. B. Oliphant, late a popu lar conductor on the Glenn Springs railroad, has accepted a position us freight conductor on the O. R. & C. road. Do you wish to see the progress the farmers of our State are making in diversified and intensified agri culture? If so, visit the State Fair in November. Shallots are eagerly sought in our market in the spring. They bring good prices and the hitherto small supply should induce their culture on a much larger scale. Crab grass having done so well this year, dispite the herculian ef forts made to destroy it, is inclining some of our farmers to cultivate it next year as a hay crop. The Ledger is under obligations to Mrs. I. M..Peeler for an twelve pound beet. It is a whopper, was grown in Gaffney, and shows what Cherokee soil will do under careful tillage. Owing to some defect in the names of the parties the sale of the Hopper land, advertised last week to take place on the first Monday in Novem ber, the sale will not take place until some time later. Ming Lipcorab, who rides a pony that will weigh about thirty pounds to the quarter, is one of the best six year old horseback riders in the State. Hope Ming will take his pony to the Fair. Our farmers have commenced dig ging their sweet potatoes and gener ally report good yields. They are being offered in considerable quanties on the market, are of fine quality and are bringing remunera tive prices. Mr. R. M. Jolly, a prominent citizen of this county, was shot lust Saturday by Rowland Tate, a negro laborer, on his farm. While Mr. Jolly’s wounds are painful they are not dangerous. Dr. C. A. Jefferies dressed the wound. The preliminary preparations for a complete system of water works for Gaffney are assuming tangible form. This work should be pushed, and it should be no half-way work. All of Gaffney needs this great boon, and all of Gaffney should have it. Judge Sarratt had two cases before him Monday. The first was Cony Hopper against Andy Champion. He gave a verdict for the defendant. The next was the State vs. Albert Simpson for larceny of grain from the field. This case was continued until next Monday. The yoemanry of Cherokee was present in full force in the city Sat urday, and judging from the many products of the farm which were brought in and sold it would seem that our farmers are realizing the that cotton is not the only “money crop.” Tiie big wheat crop which the farmers of Cherokee are preparing to sow this fall will make an up-to-date roller mill in Gaffney a necessity. He or they who will take time by the fore-lock and have the mill ready for the crop will prove themselves wise investors and public benefactors. Tiie Board of Registration met in their office in the court house Satur day to receive reports from the Clerk of the Court and Magistrates of the county as to the names of those who had been convicted of crimes which would disfranchise them. If any other magistrate reported besides Judge Sarratt we failed to hear of it. W. D. Babbington, of Hickory, N. C., who will have charge of the foun dry department of the Gaffney Ma chine shops, has arrived in the city and bus commenced placing his im- pliments in plu.e for work. Mr. Babbington being a native of Shelby is well known hero and his many friends are glad to have him come and he one us. Next Sabbath morning the Rev. B. I*. Robertson will continue his series of sermons on the “Pre-eminence of Love in the Christian Religion.” The subject on that occasion will be: “The Comparison of Love Declares •ts Pniversul Pre-eminence.” In the evening Mr. Robertson will begin a series of sermons on “ Jesus, our Ex ample.” The subject for that even ing will be: “How Would Jesus Preach in Gaffney.” — —* * — Hour HtiiinaclG fulliii's* after eatliiir, Hal uli-lii-e ni-c dll cm,scil hy Imperfect (II- se»D<»ii.

Pacolkt, S. c., Oct. 2f).—I am glad to tell the people of Gaffney and vicinity that Rev. S. J. Cowan has just closed a sixteen days tent meet ing at Paeolet Mills where his audi ences were immense, from 1,500 to 2,000 people, and to hear him once was to ■bear him again. In justice to the preacher and the people into whose midst he goes from some un fortunate circumstances, which are not always under human control, there proceeded his coming here not only most damaging reports as to his ministerial work but as to his character as a gentleman. His tent being on ray premises, right at my store, I let no chance pass to investi gate every report, lest I become particeps criminis. Truth would blush in the temple of right and jus tice to men much less to one of God’s annointed to say an investigation dis proved them. Col. Jas. L. Orr, President of the Piedmont Manufacturing Company wrote me the 14th inst. to wit: “S. J. Cowan had charge of the Wesleyan Methodist church at Piedmont for about two years. I found him cor rect in all dealings with us.” His appointment is to begin services Sat urday night, 29th|inst.. in your town. H. L. Lipscomb. [Mr. Cowan has arrived in the city and we learn that services will begin as above announced.] ————• •———— J. P. Stowe Dead. J. P.

Mr. Stcweeame to Gaffney from North Ca-olina about five years ago, since which time he has held important positions in the Gaffney Cotton Mills, and has so conducted himself as to secure tiie confidince and esteem of all who come in contact with him. Our sympathy goes out to the breaved. WOMAN'S WORK. An apt old adage de clares that woman’s work is never done. 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 oat • meagre income. Women who are too much on their feet, or who are unable to stand the strain of over-work and are peculiarly susceptible to the we nesses and irregularities that are the banc of womankind. The symptoms of sndt derangements are insufficient or excessive menstruation, headache, backache, net*- ralgia, leucorrhcea, displacements and ex treme nervousness amounting in man^ cases to hysteria. The use of morphine is dangerous and examinations by male phy sicians are painful and unpleasant.
