Every Sufferer from Lung Weakness, Consumption, Asthma, Catarrh or Bronchitis Can Be Cured. ..lipii I 'll,I I' h'i iiii' ••m •• i'i »i iii, !:•;!!!!,, Ji '•ii ill ill ii'!i , !i !'i i mm Ml 1 ilHI "Mill Complete FREE Course : of Treatment gonsistiiig of Four pr£P ara ttot), | - The Slocum System — Nearly everybody you meet will re gard it as a kind of insult to be asked if they have weak lungs. All seem to have a solid faith in the soundness of their own breathing machine. In cases of trouble they svill admit there is a ‘‘heavy cold,” "a touch of bronchitis." or even “a spell of asthma,” but as to weak or unsound lungs, never.NEVER. Even the poor consumptive, who scarce ly speaks without coughing, whose cheeks are wasted, hollow and bear the hectic flush of doom, will assure you with glistening eyes that his cold is on the mend and he will be all right when the weather changes. It is simply terrible to think how far we may be guilty by our indifference to the lung troubles of those near and dear to us. It is also a sad thought that we may hug a delusion as to our own health that we only get rid of when life itself must pay the forfeit. Nobody can afford to think lightly of lung troubles. Nobody can afford to be mistaken about their possible dan gers. Nobody can afford to neglect them, or "let them wear out.” or "get better in the spring.” or any other tom foolery that leads only to wreck and ruin. Lung troubles don’t move back ward. Weak lungs don’t grow’ strong by themselves—you must heal them and strengthen them, and rid them of me very earliest germs of disease, or you are sininly committing a form of suicide. Efidier you must cure your lung troubles or THEY WILL KILL YOL T . That’s the whole situation in a nutshell. Never was there a cure for lung trou bles equal to the newly-discovered Dr. Slocum treat :ent. This forms a sys tem of Four Remedies that are used si multaneously and supplement each other’s curative action. It cures weak lungs, bronchitis, asthma, coughs, con sumption and every other ailment of the pulmonary region. It destroys every germ that can affect the respira tory system, and even in advanced stages of lung trouble positively arrests the tubercular growth, while it also builds up the patient so that his system is enabled to throw off scrofula, rheum atism, catarrh, and other w'astng dis eases. Thousands of cured cases already prove these claims. Thousands of grate ful people bless the discovery. The Doctor wants everybody to know the surprising merits of his system. He has arranged to give a free treatment ( Four Preparations) to all sufferers. Full instructions for use accompany each treatment. WRITE TO THE DOCTOR. Write at once to Dr. T. A.

Local News from Town and Country TOO SHORT TOR A HEAD Hut None Too Short to Mention, lienee They Are Holleit Down For Oulok Jtesul- ing by lliiKy ^Ledger 1'utrone Who Are TreKHcil for Time. Cecil and Curry have started their brick works. Lumber wagons arc plentiful on our streets every day. \V. H. Koss is surveying thf' new line between Morgan and Limester township. It goes without saying that the 27lh of .May, will be a general holiday in Cherokee. Whenever ladies take a hand every* tiling succeeds. They are leading now towards the Battle Ground and all Cherokee will follow. Mr. and Mrs II. K. Osbone enter tained a number of their friends at dinner in their beautiful new home, corner Race and Johnson Streets, Friday, Mr. T. G. McCraw is building a capacious brick store near Mr. E. It. Cash’s residence on Cherokee street. As soon as linisbed it will be occu pied by Mr. John Cash. Sunday was the thirty-fourth anni versary of General Leo’s surrender at Appomattox. Ir made sad memories loom up in the minds of old soldiers. But they are proud that they were there. The weather has opened up some, but it is still cool. The weather bureau promises us a few fair days, and if we got them farm work will be pushed as it has seldom been done in Cherokee. Home Miiile Flour. I). C. Pointer was in the city Fri day selling home made flour that was ground out of home raised wheat, grown by Mr. Painter on his model farm three miles east of the city. Friday while Mr. Painter was tell ing his II >ur in Gaffney it would have been hanl to tell bow many Cherokee fanners with just as good opportuni ties as li ? has for making wheat were here buying western flour and secur ing tiie payment for it by giving a lien on the crops which they ixpect to make this year. Buying flour on time may be convenient and no doubt will be claimed by some to be the cheapest. However this mar be, Mr. Painter’s way does not draw on funds yet to be worked out of the ground, but turns the sheckles into his pocket when he delivers the flour, and he invariably delivers. He sold about a thousand pounds Friday and still has about two thousand pounds for sale. The Ledger has had occasion be fore to refer to Mr. Painter’s good farming, and last fall asked our farmers to watch him when he sowed wheat. He has not plowed a furrow this year but there is no man in Cherokee readier than he is and will begin with more vim when the ground gels in order. Watch him this summer and if you have not got more flour to sell than he has it would not be a bad idea to adopt his farm methods. ('Hinp Meeting. Jake Carpenter camp L r . C.

Mr. Crttnf' Ih MakliiK h luipri bslon ou (tie People of Diiffney. Fcv. Arthur Crane, of Wclhalla, arrived in the city Saturday after noon, and was met at the depot by Rev. B. P. Robertson and other mem bers of tho First Baptist church. Mr. Crane was most cordially wel comed to Gaffney and was at once made to feel us if he was in the midst of triends. He was driven to the home of Mr. Robertson, whose guest he will bo while in Gaffney. Personally Mr. Crane is very mag- ncgtic and at once draws the atten tion of those with whom he comes in contact. He is, comparatively speak ing, a young man, but has had a varied experience which serves him in drawing practical illustrations. The initial service of what promises to be a most successful series of meetings was held in the First Bap tist church Sunday morning when Mr. Crane preached a splendid ser mon on "What do ye think of Him?” The points made were practical and such as would attract attention. Tho speaker had no trouble in gain ing the attention of his audience and less in keeping it. The points made were, "What do you think of Christ as the son of God?” "What do you think of Him us a man?” and "What do you think of Him as a Savior?” all of which were discussed in short, simple, yet practical sentences. At times the speaker grew dramatic and his word painting became elocjueul with pathos, while at times a Vein of humor could ^be noticed in his re marks. His sermon disclosed the fact that he was a student of the "Book” as well us a student of hu man nature. Mr. Crane possesses a good voice and sings well, and his solo singing is much enjoyed by the congregation. Services were held Sunday after- ternoon at 4 o’clock, Sunday evening at 7:45; yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock and last flight at 7 :45 To day and every day until further no tice services will be held at those hours. Sunday afternoon at 4 a service for men only will bo held at the court house. Wo are informed that this service will be out the ordinary of services for men only in that it will contain none of the usual phases and allusions to obscenity that is indulged in by many preachers in sermons to men only. In other words it will be chaste and pure and one that all men are interested in. A general invitation is extended to all to attend these meetings and Mr. Crane would like that everybody be prompt. It is annoying to have people come in late and get only a portion of the sermon. Sometimes it is difficult for the preacher to make himself wholly understood to those who come in late. Sunday night there were four pro fessions of faith. This is a good be ginning and much good is expected to result from Mr. Crane’s labors in Gaffney. Cure a Cold in One Day.

EARN Dr. Hartman offers his advice to parents on the treatment of coughs and colds, to guard against colds. Nearly all the ills of children begin with taking cold. If your child catches cold don’t wait a moment befora attacking that cold. To the ignorance or neglect of parents is dua the fatal termination of many children's com plaints. If yon are not informed as to the proper coumo to pursue to drive oft a child's cold, write to Dr. Hartman, president of the Surgieal Hotel, Columbus, O., for advice, and aak for some of his free books which contain the most pertinent facta about colds and coughs and all catarrhal diseases. Pe-ru-na, Dr. Hartman’s great pre scription, is wholly vegetable. It wards off colds entirely if taken at the beginning in proper doses. It breaks up settled colds quickly; it is scientific and safe; there is no mys tery about it. Dr. Hartman’s books tell just how it acts and why. All druggists sell it. Mrs. C. T. Rogers, Elgin, 111., says:^ Dr. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, O. Dear Sir:—"Your medicine saved my baby’s life. We stopped all treat ment but yours, and now he is a beautiful boy. It was certainly a miracle.” Mrs. Becking, East Toledo, O., writes to the Pe-ru-na Medicine Co.: Dear Sirs:—" Pe-ru-na is the best medicine I ever had in my house. My children had a bad cough, and one of them had the lung fever. I cured them all with Pe-ru-na.” Proper 1 nowledge of the treatment of coughs and colds is of the first importance to parents. This knowledge is offered free. All catarrhal diseases succumb to Pe-ru-na.
