THE LEDGER: GAFFSEY, S. C„ DECEMBER 1, 1898 3 MOBILE DELEGATION WINS. (iulf City Will Contlnun to Kijoy Speolul Privileges. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 20.—Several years axo tiie brilliant Peter Hamilton, now deceased, secured for the public schools of Mobile the passage of an act appropriating all of the handsome rev enue derived from the sale of liquor in Mobile to the public school fund of that county. It was a line thing tor the Mo bile schools and they have prospered wonderfully. At every meeting of the assembly an effort is made to deprive Mobile of the special privilege granted and put the county on the same footing as the other counties by forcing the Mobile license money to go into the state treasury and have tho county draw its pro rata share as other counties do. A tight is on again this time, Mr. Seymour of Sumter championing the anti-Mobile interests. Something of a test vote has been had on the proposi tion, the advocates of the bill wanting it referred to one committee, the oppo nents to another. The Mobile delega tion won and it looks as if the special privilege will not be interrupted. THIRD GEORGIA DETAINED. lieglnient May He Attached to the Seventh Army Corps. Savannah, Nov. 26.—Tho chances are that the Third Georgia regiment will be attached to tho Seventh army corps. General Fitzhugh Lee has received a telegram from the war department tell ing him that tho Third Georgia would be detained here, asking that a camp ground be provided, and stating that the regiment would probably be at tached to his corps. In that event the Third Georgia will goto Havana instead of Nuevitas. A camp site for tho Georgians has been selected near the camp of tho First di vision, to which water pipes will bo laid. The regiment will then move from its present rather unhealthful position. WEST VIRGINIANS DEPART. First Hegiinent Leaves ('amp Poland For Columbus, Ga. Knoxville, Nov. 20. — Tents were struck by the First West Virginia this morning early and about noon the first section moved out for Columbus, Ga. Four other sections followed at short intervals. The regiment has made an enviable record at Camp Poland, where it has been located three months to a day. Rev. N. Price, one of me best known men in the service of the Methodist church in Tennessee, was today mus tered into the service as chaplain of the Fourth Tennessee and will preach his first sermon to the men of the regiment tomorrow. An Interesting Point Raised. Chattanooga, Nov. 26.—An inter esting point has been raised in a magis trate’s court in this city. A. 0. Car- roll, a local groceryman, has brought suit against the ordinary of Catoosa county, Ga., to recover tho amount charged by the ordinary for license to do business in the park last summer during the encampment of troops. The contention of Carroll’s lawyer is that the permission of the government was all that was required for the transaction of business. It is claimed, on the other hand, that Georgia reserved the right to Catoosa county to retain control over all criminal and civil matters in the reservation. Port Charges Investigated. Charleston, Nov. 20.—The commer cial bodies in Charleston aro still inves tigating the port charges here. The special committee reported that long shoremen’s rates should come down to the tignres prevailing at neighboring ports. The striking longshoremen have not been allowed to return to work for the Johnson Blue Cross line, but the strike is going to result in a full inves tigation of tho heavy port charges, which is steadily driving the spring business from Charleston. French Instability'. Tho revolution of 1848 swept every thing before it like a cyclone, making the path clear for the third great experi ment of postrevolntionnry France. The abortive republic of 1848 passed away with tho bloodshed in which the second empire hud its baptism, and in due time the empire itself perished by the sword that gave it life. No ouo who reads the narrative of these nuforeseen overthrows of established rule will he rash enough to assert that tho third re public is the final word of France’s choice. That it will bo upset by the Bouapartists or tho royalists may be most unlikely, but so seemed the revo lutions of 18110 and 1848 before they came to pass. What was more unlikely in 1846 than that before five years Louis Philippe should have died iu exile aftet barely escaping with his life to Eng land, and that Louis Napoleon, then a prisoner at Hanimes, should be seated on the imperial throne? It is because tho unexpected has happened so often that one hesitates to predict that the republic will last forever.—Montreal Gazette. There are said to be fewer suicides among miners than among any other class of workmen. —• —— Unclaimed Letters. List of letters remaining in office uncalled for to date : Mr. Jos Allen. \V. S.

Lecture by Miss Davidson. Miss Ella Davidson, of Yorkville, S. O., a missionary recently returned from China, will lecture in the Presbyterian church at JLtiO p. m. * tomorrow. Miss Davidson is quite interesting and has been greeted by much enthusiasm since her return. She lectures in the native Chinese costums, and shows many rare curi- osites. It is indeed a privilege to hear her, and we hope all the ladies and children of our town will avail themselves of thii opportunity. A. collection will be taken up, and we trust all will contribute to the mis sionary cause. While in the city Miss Davidson will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. James B. Bell. Langley Mill Hands Strike. Langley, S. C., Nov. 26.—The strike of the operatives of the cotton mills in Augusta has extended to the big Lang ley mill at this place, all of the oper atives having been out and the mill at a standstill for several days. A large portion of the operatives of the Bath mill have also gone gut. The cause of the strike is identical in all particulars with that in Augusta—the redaction in wages ordered by the association. Chatllu Goes Up For Life. Greenville, S. C., Nov. 26.—John G. Chaffin stands convicted of murder. On Oct. 25 he killed Warren E. M. Grube. His trial lasted three days, the jury reporting a verdict of guilty with recommendation to mercy, which Axes punishment at life imprisonment. Chaf fin was a contractor of a residence of which Grube was supervising archi tect. True Ul 11 Against Shockley. Atlanta, Nov. 26.—W. G. Shockley, who killed John Bishop on an electric car here several weeks ago. has been in dicted by the grand jury for murder. He is thought to be insane and that will probably be the plea of bis attorneys at the trial Rev. Gibson Is Kxpelled. Augusta, Ga., Nov. 26.—The North Georgia conference has expelled Rev. J. T. Gibson, formerly pastor of an At lanta church, for immorality. This ac tion ends his career as a Methodist preacher or church member. Governor Taylor In Georgia. Nashville, Nov. 26.—Governor Tay lor has gone to Georgia and will fill several lecture engagements in that state and in Louisiana. He will be ab sent ten days or two weeks. Mr. Gaffney Goes On The Road. Our fellow townsman, Paul V. Gaff ney, has been employed by the Gaff ney Carpet Manufacturing Company as one of its traveling salesmen, and left the city this week on his first trip. The company has done well in securing Mr. Gaffney’s services, foi, in addition to having had some experience as a traveling salesman, Paul is an all-around good fellow, with pleasant address, plenty of push and good sense. Cotton Sold. The past week f>G2 bales of cotton were sold in Gaffney at prices rang ing from 5:0o to Bold Intruders. Last Friday night about b o’clock three men walked up on the porch of Mr. Hurry Gooding’s residence on Logan street, and knocked at the door. Mr. Gooding not being at home, Mrs. Gooding asked who they were. They replied by telling her to open the door. Mrs. Gooding told a servant to hand her the pistol. The men then went off the porch and Mrs. Gooding opened the door and fired on them, while they ran off towards Granard street. The neighbors were soon on the scene, but too late to get any clue as to the identity of the in truders. It is certain that these men were after no good, and Mrs. Gooding’s presence of mind and pluck, only deterred them from their mischief- ous designs. A pair of well trained hounds would have run them to their dens and showed them up, which v.ould have been worth more to this community than the cost and keeping of such useful animals. —-• Two Well Known Newspaper Men. Mr. H. E. C. Bryant, better known as “Red Buck,” the gifted and versa tile traveling agent of the brilliant Charlotte Observer, was among The Ledger’s callers Monday. Mr. Bry ant was on his way hon e from Ash- ville, where he had been spending several weeks after his valuable and praiseworthy work in the late cam paign in the Old North State. The recent democratic success was due as much to Mr. Bryant’s pen pictures of the evils that existed in eastern Carolina us to any other cause. May he and the excellent journal he so ably represents live long and prosper, is our heartfelt wish. Frank Withers, the poular traveling agent of The State, while in the city yesterdy honored The Ledger with an aptre.ia i'e vi it Gaffney Moving. Tlie first iron castings ever made in Gaffney, were made Tuesday. The Gaffney machine Shop made their first run then, and turned out some beautiful work in the shape of and irons, stove fixtures A-c. These shops supply a long needed want in Gaff ney, and being in tho hands of busi ness men we predict a deserved liberal patronage. — - -*•*- • —■ Parsnip Complexion. It does not require an expert to de tect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes the sallow parsnip-colored complex ion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trou ble, desire to urinate often or a burn ing or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an unsatisfied feel ing as if it must be at once repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust de posit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflamation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instru ments, or may run into Bright’s dis ease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kid ney and bladder specialist, is a posi tive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world-wide and it is so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention The Ledger and write to Dr. Kilmer A Co., Binghamton. X’.
