THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, 8. C., NOVEMBER 17, 1898 t FTEB suffering for nearly thirty years from dyspepsia, Mrs. n. E. Dusdale, wife of a prominent business man of Warsaw, N.Y., writes: "For 28 years, I was a constant sufferer from dyspepsia and a weak stomach. The lightest food produced distress, causing severe pain and the forma tion of gas. No matter how careful of my diet I suffered agonizing pain after eating. I was treated by many physicians and tried numerous remedies without permanent help. Two years ago I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nerve and Liver Pills and Nervine. Within a week I commenced improving, and per sisting in the treatment I was soon able to eat what I liked, with no evil effects I keep them at hand and a single dose dispels any old symptoms. n Dr. Miles* Remedies are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefits or money re funded.

The News from Town and Country Boiled Down for the Special Benefit of Busy Led ger Readers. B. T. Porter has moved into the Holmes house on east Frederick street. Saturday brought a big crowd to the city. All seemed intent on busi ness and perfect order prevailed. Forty-eight car loads of soldiers passed through the city Sunday on their way from Camp Mead Pa., to Greenville. J. C. Lipscomb’s newly graded and planted lawn about his splendid resi dence on Victoria avenue, bids fair to be one of the handsomest in the city. A merchant tells us that he buys sweet potatoes from wagons for twenty-live cents per bushel. This is a small price but will pay better titan cotton. The women of the F.rst Baptist church will hold a special Missionary meeting at 3 p. m., on Sunday after noon. The ladies of other churches are cordially invited to attend. Dr. W. H.

The company was select and the fair hosts made the occasion a most en joyable one. Xext Sunday morning Rev. B. P. Robertson will preach the last of a series of sermons on Christain Love in the First Baptist church. In the evening he will continue his series on Christ our example. Subject “Christ in the home.” The Presbyterian congregation has regraded the grounds about their church and planted them again with grass seed. These people are per sistent in their efforts to beautify their property, which is already among the most beautiful in the city. Perry Andrews, came over from Chester last Thursday, and submit ted a proposition to bore the artesian well for the city waterworks.

Harper Floyd, a good citizen of the Jonesville section in Union county, has built him a handsome residence on his property on the Mills Gap road in the western part of tlve city, and will move his family into it in a short time.

All parties desiring to be transferred or in any other wis wishing to connect themselves with Davis Chapel are requested to be present at the 7 p. ra., service. Tolbert, the Republican candidate for Congress in the 3rd district, whose candidacy and teachings caused the race war at Phenix, in Greenwood county on election day, passed Uirogh Gaffney lust Thursday fleeing for safety, and leaving the negroes, on whose heads his teachings bud brought such terrible vengrance, to receive the punishment alone which he justly should have shared. Before the erection of cotton mills in tliis section Gulfney received and shipped from eleven to twelve thous and bales of cotton every season. Up to this time, this season, about six thousand bales have been sold here, every bale of which has been bought by the local and near by mills. We doubt if a bale of cotton grown in Cherokee county is manu factured more than twenty miles from the field it is grown in. The mqch talked of wheat sowing in this county has begun. Farmers in most instances are preparing the lands well, using both domestic and commercial fertilizers in a judicious manner. Let this sensible course continue until every man in the county who tills the soil has planted enough to make bread for his family. Then will prosperty come to a people who deserves to prosper and drive from their homes the gloom incident to twelve months hard work on a cotton crop, which costs them more to maKo than they can sell it for.

This belief has kept many a small merchant from improving his opportunities in this direction. Xeurly, if not all of the large retail merchants of the United States have become so by extensive advertising. The advertising which they ha ve done is not the sole cause of their success, but it has been the greatest con tributing cause. Most all large en terprises which are successful have begun on a small scale. Their ad vertising was done in a small way, it has been kept up day after day and year after year. Good business methods, untiring industry and good advertising are the factors which bring success in business. Do not be afraid of being overshad owed by the big advertiser. Many times the well-worded reader of only a few lines will reach the eyes of more readers than the pretentious display of the large store. It tells the people you have goods to sell and what you will sell them for. That is all the'big store can say. It is the price that sells the goods. The dealer, be he the corner grocer or the largest dealer in general merchandise in the city, who will sell staple or special articles, quality considered, for the least money, and lets the people know it, will receive the patronage. Every city has plenty of examples showing how small dealers in all kinds of merchandise have made their business a success by means of news paper advertising. Take what space you can afford, contract the year, watch it; change the matter every day. and you will soon need more room for your store and more space in the papers. Judicious advertising will develop any mercantile business that has a right to exist.—Western Advertiser. A newIrhiph. The Dreaded Consumption Can be Cured. T.

For ages it has been thought that Cancer is incurable, and those so unfortunate as to have this dreadful affliction have con sidered themselves beyond hope of recovery. The doctors are ab solutely unable to afford any re lief, and the poor sufferer might well consider himself on the way to an early grave. It is now easy to see why the doctors have failed to cure Cancer. Their theories have been all wrong, and hence their treatment mis directed. They have made the mistake of thinking that by cut ting out the sore or ulcer, known as Cancer, the disease would be gotten rid of, and the patient re stored to health. But the cruel knife accomplishes nothing, for the Cancer promptly returns,and is always more virulent than before. It has been demonstrated, beyond doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease, and can not be cured by the surgeon’s knife because the blood can nol be cut awaif. “Several years ago my wife had an ulcer on her tongue, which, though an noying, was not regarded seriously at first. It refused to heal and began to grow, giving her much pain. The doc tors treated it for quite a while but were unable to do her any good, and finally pronounced it Cancer of a most malignant type. We were greatly alarmed and gave her every remedy recommended, but they did not seem to reach the disease, and it continued to spread and grow. Upon the advice of a friend she began to take S. S. S., and after a few bottles had been used a decided improvement was noticed, and continuing the remedy she was cured completely and the permanence of the cure has been proved, as no sign of the disease has returned, though ten years have elapsed, H. L. Middlerrooks. Sparta. Ga.” The cures made by S. S. S. are perma nent. It is the only blood remedy which can cure obstinate deep-seated blood diseases, because it is the only one which acts nn the correct principle of forcing out the poison and ridding the system of it forever. S. S. S. never fails to cure the worst cases of Cancer, Scrofula.

It is the July blood remedy guaranteed Purely Vegetable and Contains not a particle of potash, mercury, arsenic or other minerals.

Ba con’s elegant manner and soft voice. In describing the negro before the war he gives the right drawl and right twang to every word which belonged to that period. It is difficult to say which was the most charmipg feature of the lecture but, perhaps, the de scription of the ball “as it appears to an old person” was the most realistic, the funeral oration of “Unker Isaac” the most grapliic, and yet each turn of the Kaleidoscope was a touching reminiscense of days that have gone forever, or a deliciously humorous contrast of present and past customs. —Columbia Register. Col. Bacon will in the near future favor Gaffney with his lecture. The Ledger has no hesitency in saying that all who hear him will be more than delighted. His style is original and unique. Besides he is an estima ble gentleman of the old school and a thoroughly delightful man in every respect. Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing; Co. The Gaffney Carpet Manufactur ing Company now has all its looms running and is doing a class of work of which Gaffney is. and the South should be, very proud. It has built the necessary cottages for the operatives in a handsome grove to which artistic work has added splendor. All the cottages have six rooms, and of course are of modern archi tectural beauty and are beautifully arranged in streets of ample width. Altogether, the Carpet Mill has added to Gaffney a beautiful subur ban village, full of good hardworking men and women of whom we are justly pround. To Mr. J. E. Bierck. President and Treasurer of the iriill, too much credit cannot be given. Mr. Bierck is a polite, genial gentleman who knows his business and is methodical work personified. « — A bottle of Pbickj.y Ash Bitters kept in the hniisj and used occaslonaly. means jrood health to the whole household.
