A SMALL SPOT MAY BE CANCER. MOST VIOLENT GASES HAVE The greatest care should be given to any little sore, pimple or scratch which shows no disposition to heal under ordin- IDDCiDCn IT CIDCT 1C ary treatment. No one can tell how soon tliese AritAnCU A1 rlnol AO will develop into Cancer of the worst type. So many people die from Cancer simply be- iirnr PIIIDI CC cause they do not know just what the disease is; mLilL niflrLLwi they naturally turn themselves over to the doctors, and are forced to submit to a cruel and dangerous operation—the only treatment which the doctors know for Cancer. The disease promptly returns, however, and is even more violent and destructive than before. Cancer is a deadly poison in the blood, and an operation, plaster, or other external treatment can nave no effect whatever upon it. The cure must oome from within—the last vestige of poison must be eradicated. Mr. Wm Walpole*, of Walshtown, S. D., says: “A little blotch about the size of a pea came under my left eye. gradually growing larger, from which shooting pains at intervals ran in all directions. I became greatly alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it Cancer, and advised that it be cut out, but this I could not con sent to. I read in my local paj>er of a cure effected by S S. S., and decided to try it. It acted like a charm, the Cancer becoming at first irritated, and then discharging $ very freely. This gradually grew less and then discon- .tinned altogether, leaving a small scab which soon drop- I ped off and now only a healthy little scar remains where 1 what threatened to destroy my life once held full sway.” Positively the only cure for Cancer is Swift’s Specific— 8. S. 8. FOR THE BLOOD —because it is the only remedy which can go deep enough to reach the root of the disease and force it out of the system permanently. A surgical operation does not reach the blood—the real seat of the disease—because the blood can nut l cut away. Insist upon S. S. S.; nothing can take its place. S. S. S. cures also any case of Scrofula, Eczema. Rheumatism, Contagious BloodyPoison, Ulcers, Sores, or any other form of blood disease.

Kendrick is making extensive improvements on his residence on Buford street. Lumber is being placed on the ground for II. F. Pridmore-’s Dew- house on Buford Street. Dispenser Troy, of Columbia, is re- ported by Chairman Haselden, to be $111 short in his accounts. George Hood’s new house on Rut ledge street is being built rapidly and will be an ornament to this new street. Mrs. Montgomery’s cottage now bting built, corner of Race and Petty streets, will be one of the bandfomest in the city. Painters are now putting the finish ing touches on the Goudclweti hotel. This hotel is an ornament to the city and will supply a long felt want. While J. E. Jefferies was riding out a few miles from the city Wednesday he had one ol his feet painfully hurt by tillowing his horse to pass too near a tree. It would be hard to estimate the lumber hauled to the city Wednes day. Farmers from the northern and western pari, of the county, being un able to plow, hauled for the lumber men near them. We learn that our friend, Mr. M. M. Freeman, lias bought the Chero- , ' kee Din at Blacksburg, and will take charge of the management himself. Cherokee Inn is u fine properly, and in such competent hands should do we h. Fifty years ago on the 15th of April snow fell here to the depth of two or three inches. The tn-es were in full leaf, the dogwood trees were in full bloom, and much corn was up and was bitten down by the frost which followed. United States Commissioner Tres- cot, of Blacksburg, hud a white man before him here Wednesday for vio lation of the Internal revenue law, and committed him to jail to wait trial in the United States Court.which convenes in Greenville on the 18 Inst. A series of revival meetings will begin at the First Baptist Church next Sunday morning. The public in general is most cordially invited to attend these services. Dr. Arthur Crane, now of Walhalla, but origin ally of New Jersey, is a very fine preacher, and be is to assist in the meeting. Fanners got in a big days plowing Monday, but Monday night it began to rain, and Tuesday morning the ground was to wet to plough and the rain was still falling. By the middle of the fornoon the ruin was mixed with snow which fell at intervals most of the day and Wednesday morning we had a regular winter frost. Xo Fish. Fisherman on Broad river aro still complaining of their small catch, and say that they have not been able to catch any of the good qualities of fi-lies v.-hich were plentiful in Broad river in this section before the big dam was built across the river at Columbia. Before that dam was built fine shad, red horse and fat fish were abunuant in our part of Broad river in their season ; but now none of them are found, and those who eat fish in these parts have to confine themselves to cat-fish or buy such as have been shipped many hundred miles to owr market. We see now that another dam will soon be built near Columbia, and we hope that the proper authorities will see that it has fish-ways made in it that will allow fish to pass, and also to see that sim ilar ones are placed in the old dam. if it is lawful to obstruct the passage of fish, we aro helpless. But if it is unlawful, this up country will be heard from. A Move. At a meeting ot the Municipal League held Tuesday evening at the r aid nceofMr. W. G. Lees, a com mittee was appointed to solicit the namisef citizens to a petition to be I resented to the Southern Railway Company, asking said company to build n i cw and up-to-date passenger depot and waiting rooms in Gaffney. This is a good move on the part of the League, and it is to be hoped that the railway company will see the im portance of it. Gaffney is no longer a stat ion hut is now- a city of G 000 peo ple who want am! are entitled to all tin ::cc imncdat ions that the changed conditions require. The Southern always has an eye to the comforts of its patrons which in duces us to believe that it will con sider the petition favorably. f'.unU Mcmreci.

On the 27th of March Mrs. Mary Williams, wife of Mr. Isaac Williams, died at her home near Ezells, in this county, under circumstances which after several days reflection induced the neighbors to request Coroner Yinesett to have the body disenterred and bold an inquest to accertuin the cause of her death. On the 3rd inst. Mr. Yinesett sum moned Drs. Jefferies and Griffith and a jury, who, after disenterring the body and making a full investigation, re turned the following verdict. “An inquisition indenture taken at the Williams grave yard in Cherokee county the 3rd day of April, 1899, be fore J. S. Yinesett, Coroner lor said county, upon view of body of Mary Williams of Cherokee county then and fhere being dead by the oaths of the jurors: W. T. Phillips, foreman ; Joseph Price, J. G. Jolly, W. W. Moore, J. A. Scruggs. A. C. Price, Landrum McIntyre, Mart Martin, li. A. Scruggs, J. L. Teal, George D. Scruggs and D. F. Phillips, being a lawful jury of inquest, who, being charged and sworn to inquire for the State of South Carolina where and by what means the said Mary Wil liams came to her death, upon their oaths do say, from what we have seen and the evidence we have heard that what Dr. Smith, of Gaffney, had done would have caused the said Mary Williams' death." Signed by all Ihe jurors. Upon the above verdict Yinesett issued a warrant Smith’s arrest and placed it hands of Sheriff Thomas who arrested him and placed him in jail. Dr. Smith employed Hon. Win. Mud roe, of Union, and Capt. J. B. Bell, of this bar, as his attorneys. Messrs. Munroe and Bell went to Yorkville Wednesday and went be fore Judge Gary and secured bail for Dr. Smith in the sum of $1,000. The bond was made in a few minutes and Dr. Smith was released from jail yes terday. Dr. Smith is an old man and has been practicing medic»ne her* a long ti ne, and has had a large and lucra tive practice and his many friends, while having deep sympathy for the bereaved, hope that the charges not prove true.

Ton L. BROWN. The fair has been open just one month today. That month has been one of most adverse weather conditions, but we are proud to be able to say that we have done a larger business than any concern, ever did in Gaffney in the same length of time. We have waited on and sold goods to more than 3,000 customers in one month and we have reason to believe that we have made a friend and permanent customer of every one of them. We Lave showed to them that we will treat them fairly and squarely and we have not yet had the least suggestion of a com plaint. We have guaranteed quality and prices and have stood ready to refund money when goods were not satisfactory. We have been caused no trouble and no expense to make good this guarantee. It need never be dull with stores L hat combine the right goods with the right prices. There are 5,000 people in Gaffney and 50,000 in the surrounding country, whose trade lan be brought here and they have to have goods. We are making * to their advantage to trade at The Fair and we know that they appreciate our efforts, because they come. We do the largest dry goods business in Gaffney. We buy goods in larger quantities than any other house. Orr purchases of Spring goods have been much larger than those of any other Gaffney con cern and our daily cash sales easily distance any of them. Just one month old we stand at the head of the mercantile houses of this city. Our success is due to our methods. Our ci stomers are our best advertisers. They not only return time after time, but they send their friends to our store to get some of the good things that we sell at little prices. It is at The^Fair that a dollar col mands the biggest value and when that is known, no further invitation is needed to get the trade. Our methods have brought us in one month a measure of success that comes to few merchants in years.
