A Lecture.
A large and appreciative audience
of women and children of all denomi
nations were assembled in the Pres
byterian church of Gaffney, Friday,
Dec. 2nd., and for one hour and a
half listened with the greatest inter
est to a lecture delivered by Miss
Ella Davidson, of Yorkville, S. C.,
now a recently returned missionary
of the Presbyterian Mission, of Hang
chow, China.
For seven years Miss Davidson has
been an earnest worker in the foreign
field, and as she spoke of the misera
ble, hopeless lives of those who know
not the true God let us trust that
many hearts were stirred to action in
the great work of proclaiming the
blessed news of salvation to those
who sit in darkness.
Miss Davidson returned to the
“Home Land'’ to regain her health.
Although far from strong,>he is much
improved, and hopes to resume the
work in China next year. May many
souls be given for her hire.
Miss Davidson is a highly cultiva
ted lady, of charming manners and
disposition, and made many friends
while in the city.

About Posting Lands.
At its recent session, the genen.l
assembly made material changes in
the statutes relating to the posting
of lands. The law as it now stands
is as follows:
Section 170. Every entry upon the
lands of another, after notice from
the owner or tenant prohibiting the
same, shall be a misdemeanor, and
be punished by a fine not to exceed
one hundred dollars or imprisonment
with hard labor on the public works
of the county not exceeding thirty
days: Provided. That whenever any
owner or tenant of any lands shall
post a notice in four conspicuons
places on the borders of any land
prohibiting entry thereon, and shall
publish once a week for four succes
sive weeks such notice in any news
paper circulating in the county where
such lands are situate, a proof of the
posting and of publishing of such
notice within twelve months prior to
the entry, shall be deemed and taken
as notice conclusive against the per
son making entry as aforesaid for
hunting and fishing.
Approved the 2nd day of February,
A. D., 181)8.

Masonic Election.
The election of oilieers of Granard
Lodge, No. 18G, Ancient Freemasons,
held Monday night, December 5th,
resulted in the re-election of all the
old officers, who are R. M. Gaifney,
Worshipful Master, B. F. Camp, Se
nior Warden; W. H. Ross, Junior
Warden; J. E. Mosteller. Treasurer;
H. Fay Gaffney, Secretary.
The Lodge will install its officers
on Tuesday night, Dec. 20th, when
it will give an oyster supper ^free of
charge to its members, to visiting
Masons, and to a small number of
invited guests. Tlie supper giver by
this Lodge last December was one of
Waterworks Bonds to be Issued.
The town council at its last meet-
intr passed an ordinance to issue
$18,000 bonds to build a system of
waterworks, all the necessary legal
steps leading up to the issue has been
complied with, and we hope in the
near future to have an abundance of
pure water.
This is an enterprise of which our
city should be proud, as it will have
a great tendency to promote good
health, and will materially reduce
the insurance on property in town
and be a great source of comfort and
pleasure during the dry summer
months for street and lawn sprinkling
purposes. Our citizens should en-

A Good Policy.
The late A. A. Surratt a member of
years ago took out a life insurance
policy with the New York Life In
surance Company. The policy
was know as the tontene accumula
tive policy. About eignt years ago
the policy was lost. .Mr. Sarratt,
however, continued to pay the
premium until about four and a half
years ago when he ceased his pay
ments. As a consequence of the
liberal extended insurance feature
which is granted by tiiis company
the policy was carried on and the
company has notified the family that
they will pay the full face of the
policy. Mr. C. K. Belue, the gentle
manly agent of the company for this
territory, was in Gaifney this week
attending to the settlement of the
policy.

The Curtis Monument.
The monument erected to the
memory of the late Dr. Thomas Cur
tis, at the Limestone church in ISoD
by the allumni of the Limestone
Springs Female High School, is still
in a fair state of preservation. But
we think if it was moved to the
campus of Limestone College it would
be better cared for and in a more
appropiate place—on the ground he
did so much to make historic. What
says the allumni, the church and
Limestone College?
How To Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-
j four hours; a sediment or settling
indicates an unhealthy condition of
the kidneys; if itstains your linen
it is evidence of kidney trouble; too
frequent desire to pass it or pain in
the back is also convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma
tism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. It corrects inabilty to
hold water and scalding pain in pas
sing it, or bad effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to go olten during
the day, and to get up many times ]
during the night. The mild and the |
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the high
est for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.
At druggists fifty cents or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
and a book that tells more about it,
both sent absolutely free by mail, if
you send yonr address to Dr. Kilmer
A Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing be sure and mention that
you read this generous offer in the
Gaffney Gets Convention.
All Gaffney, was delighted Sunday,
when wo saw it announced in
the daily press, that the State Bap
tist Convention would meet in our
city next year. The next meeting
of the State Baptist Convention is a
prize that all our people of all re
ligious faiths coveted and put ail
their forces together to get. Gaffney
heartily thanks the Convention for
accepting her invitation and hopes
to give it a welcome that will make
it glad that it came.

County Commissioners Meet.
The County Commissioners met
Monday in the Supervisor’s office.
They declined to take any action in
the matter of free ferries across Broad
River, Also defered action in loca
ting the county poor farm. They
approved the bond of Sheriff-elect W.
\V. Thomas. None of the other
officers elected presented theirs.
The balance of the business transac
ted was of^a routine character.
Salesday.
Salesday brought a considerable
crowd to the city Monday to attend
the public sales. Every section of
the county hud its representatives
present. Many were interested in
the sales. Others came on other
business or just because it was sales
day. The stores all seemed busy
and Treasurer Jones seemed to have a
busy day receiving taxes.
An Invitation.
The Ledger invites its friends to
visit its office on press days, Wednes
day afternoons and nights, and see it
printed by steam power.
The ladies are especially invited if
they can risk themselves in the pres
ence of our “devils” for a short while.

Arc You Weak?
Weakness manifests itself in the loss of
ambition and aching bones. The blood is
watery; the tissues arc wasting—the door is
being opened for disease. A bottle of Browns’

strength, soothe your nerves, make your
blood rich and red. Do you more good
than an expensive special course of medicine.

WHOOPING
COUGH
One of the most distressing sights, is
to see a child almost choking with
the dreadful whooping-cough. Give
the child Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup, the
greatest pulmonary remedy, and re
lief will come at once, the coughing
spells will re-occur less frequently,
and, in a few days, the sufferer will be
entirely cured. No other remedy can
boast of so many cures.
