First, the quality; Second, the price. This is our idea in Inlying our shoos and oxfords. Wo buy from iho host makers wo know and feel sure none are hotter for the money. Shoos by the best makers prove poor some time and occasionally very cheap shoes will give good service, but the wearer takes the risk, ami more often loses than gains, making in the end his shoes cost him much more. fjAMILTON-BqoWN ''•SMI® We have OWN MAKE. a complete line of ladies’ and children’s oxfords in all the new styles in black ami tans and our prices you can rest assured are the lowest to be found, (quality considered.)

At ti meeting of the Municipal League in their hall Tuesday night the program fur the Fourth of July celebration was completed. All pre parations have been made and it only now remains tor the day to arrive and for the elements to be with us for (.Jalfoey to have the greatest celebra tion that she lias ever had. From every section of the county the peo ple have boen to the city this week attending court and the general re ply to the imiuiry ns to whether or not the people from the various sec tions are coming to (lailney on the Fourth is that everybody who possi ble can will lie here. We believe it will be safe to say that the crowd will eclipse any that has ever gathered here for any occasion. The committee on sports has re ceived a letter from Yorkville stat ing that the Yorkville baseball Club would come over and cross bats with the (JalTney club on that day. York ville has a good team and the Gaffney team is practicing daily and expect to put up such a game as will be a credit to the occasion and make the boys from York hustle to win it The speaking on the Fourth will be of the very best order. Among those who have accepted invitations is the Hon. Joseph A. McCullough, of Greenville. Mr. McCollough bears the reputation of being one of the foremost orators in the State, lie is a gentleman of att ractive appearance, and we fee! sure will delight those who hear him. Another speaker ex pected is the brilliant Frank 1 Os borne, of Charlotte. Mr. Osborne is indeed North Carolina’s favorite son, ami in the last sobmoii of the State legislature was the leader in the sen ate. The Hon. O. L. Schumpert, of Newberry, is also expected. Mr. Schumpeit is too well known to need any eulogy at our hands, suffice it to say that the people of Cherokee are always delighted to in ar him. Another gentleman whom South Car olina has delighted to honor in the past and who today retains a warm spot in the heart of every true Car olinian and whose heart is today as true to his country as if she had not in an evil hour turned her hack upon the noble old Homan for a younger and more favored suitor—we refer to the (Jen. Mathew Calbruith but ler—will surely come. The com mittee received his letter of i ccept- j a nee yesterday. The badges for the members of the Municipal League have been ordered, as also have the metals for the bicy cle races. These are expected to ar rived this week. The full program will be published in next Tuesdays issue of The Ledger. A general invitation is extended everybody to join in this celebration, It is more that likely that a spec ial train will be run over the S. C. it G. E. It. U from Rock Hill on that day. All railroads hading into Gaff ney will give reduced rates lor the oc casion. TOWN AND COUNTRY. By decorating your houses and places of business with the Colors.

To His Honor, Judge Watts: Wo, the Grand Jury, have passed upon all bills, etc., presented to us. by committees we find the jail in a bad condition, but as a new one is being constructed we think it useless to spend any money on it. Supervisor reports to us that the roads that he lias worked with con victs are in fairly good condition; that the indebtedness of the county is being gradually reduced; that the foundation of the new jail will be finished today us fur as up to the first liuor; and that lands have been purchased for the pauper farm and that the site for the buildings has been cleared off and contracts have been let out for erecting the same. The auditor reports big cilice in fair condition. Committee reports, that so far as they can see, that the treasurer’s oflice is in line condition ; books well -kept. The treasurer asks that a change lie made in the desk in his office. We recommend that the supervisor make the neces sary change. The clerk’s oflice is in a good con dition and we recommend that a change he made so as to give the clerk’s cilice the benefit of the room now occupied by the auditor. We recommend that the treasurer pay N. H. Littlejohn, expert, two dol lars per day for the time actually served in his examination of the hooks and offices and making his re port to the grand jury as per con tract. A certain house of ill fame has been reported to us from lllaeksburg and the names of witnesses furnished. We recommend that action betaken by t fie proper authorities. The sheriff's office is fairly kept and lie asks that a safe be furnished for ids office. We recommend that the same lie furnished for the office. I.ittl< li'-M Succeeds Diugliy.

Our friend, C. b. Turner found blossoms in his cotton on the 17th Inst. W. E M. Kirby, of Grindal, lias been appointed a magistrate in Ibis county. The court this week attracted a larger crowd to the city than is usual at this season of the year. Quite a quantity of wood is now being shipped to the city over the South Carolina and Georgia Exten sion Railway. A largo crowd will leave this morn ing on tiie excersion to Shelby. The Gaffney baseball team goes along and will have a game with the Shelby boys. Sergeant I’ressly, of the peneten- tiary guard, came to the city Wed nesday and yesterday carried Jim Tate to the penetentiary to serve a ten year sentence for barn burning. The Mayor has held a session of his court nearly every morning this week. Sometime with considerable benefit to the city treasurer. At others the sessions are less profita ble. While our last issue was in press Tuesday we received from Mr. Davis Vassey. of Thickety, a cotton bloom. This is the first of the season and marks Mr. Vassey as having the most advanced crop. Gov. McSweeney has positively re fused to interfere in the sentence of Mrs. Carson, of Spartanburg county, now serving a life term in the peni tentiary for complicity in the murder of her husband. The law firm of Duncan, Sanders and Hull have commenced for their client M. C. Ferry, a suit for .f 1,000 against the Gaffney Carpet Manufact uring Company for alleged damages to land of the plaintiff. Cotton blooms were shown at this office yesterday by our friend Jessie Sunders, of Abingdon, and also by Berry Hardin, a colored farmer who lives in Limestone township. Al though a few days late, this is pretty fust fanning for this section of the county. The new dyer for the carpet mill arrived Wednesday. Mr. Musland will n main u couple of weeks until tin* new man gets into harness. All Gaffney will regret to give up Joe. lie is a jolly good fellow and lias made a host of friends since lie came to tills place. Supervisor Lipscomb is giving bia close personal attention to the con struction of the new jail, and eviry citizen in the county may rest as sured that every piece of material and work will be in strict accord with bis coi.tract with the builders. And that will give Cherokee a first-class jail. In a five inning practice game lust Monday between Gaffney and the Carpet Mill team the score stood 12 to 12. It is said by some that the scorer is responsible for the tie in order to save a half dozen cigars he had up on the game. At any rate the game was too close to be com fortable. Ferry Hill called to see The Ledger yesterday. He is one of Cherokee's good farmers and reports bis wheat J crop short on account of the dry weather. But says he made a little over sixteen bushels to one sowed, and that his crop will make bread enough for him for two years. Mr. Hill says sow wheat. T. I, Walker, a prominent business man of WoodrulT, Spartanburg county, lias sold out his business and property iti Woodruff and has moved iiis family to Gaffney, where he will make his home in tlie future. Mr. | Walker will commence at once to improve his property in the city, which ho bought u few weeks past. He will, for the present, occupy the Sam’s cottage on Victoria avenue. “Womans Work is Never Done. ft The constant care causes sleeplessness, loss of appetite, extreme nervousness, and that tired feeling.

Court got down to work in earnest Tuesday and disposed of considerable business. There was a mistrial in the case of Allen Davis for assault and battery with intent to kill, and Jonathan Stewart, indicted for house breaking and larceny, was acquitted. A young man plead guilty to as sault and buttery and on account of his good character was given a light sentence. In the case of Calvin Tate, indicted for arson, the court ordered a verdict of not guilty for want of evidence. Jim Tate, a negro boy about eighteen years old, indicted for arson, plead guilty, and the jury, by the court’s direction, recommended him to the mercy oi the court. He was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary for this high crime, the penalty for which would have been death, but for the jury’s action in recommending mercy in his case. The grand jury finished its busi ness and was discharged Tuesday evening. The presentment of the grand jury is in another column of The Ledger. Wednesday morning court con vened at 9:30 a. tn. Col. O. L. Schumpert, of the Newberry bar, was present. A few minor cases were called and continued. When tiie case of Dr. Mason W. Smith, for manslaughter, was called up it was found that the indictment against him had disappeared from tiie clerk’s desk and was not to be found any- where. Dr. Smith was anxious for the case to be tried, and his attor- neys consented that a new indictment be draw and that the trial be pro ceeded with a- 1 , the record would show that a true bill had been found, but Judge Watts doubted the propriety of such a course and ti e case was continued on motion of Solicitor Henry. About 1:30 p. m., the business manager of The Ledger, while trans acting some business in his office, found the lost indictment on his desk under some newspapers. He at once notified Solictor Henry, who directed him to deliver it to the clerk of the court, which he did How the in dictment ever got on The Ledger desk is a mystery, one that The Led ger would bko to Itave solved. It must have been taken by some one from tiie clerk’s or tiie solicitor’s desk and placed on The Ledger’s desk. The case of the Town Council of Gaffney against Zcb Robertson for obstructing Lite streets, which was carried up on appeal from the Mayor's court, was decided hy Judge Walts in favor of Robertson. Rou tine business was then transacted and the court adjourned.

Uliluw lllu TiUlul UQOdtfi Everyone who has had experience with blood diseases knows that there are no ail- ments or troubles so obstinuto find difficult to euro. Vory few romodios cluim to cure such roal, d66p*s6&t6d blood disoas^s as S. S. S. euros, and none c&n offer such incontrovertible evidence of merit. S S. S. is not merely a tonic—it is a cure ! It goes down to tiie very seat of all blood diseases, and gets at the foundation of the very worst cases, and routs the poison from the system. Itdoes not, like other remedies, dry up tiie poison and hide it from view temporarily, only to break forth again more violently than ever; S. 8. S forces out every trace of^taint, and rids the system of it forever. Mrs.T. W. Lee, Montgomery, Aia., writes: “Some years ago 1 was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected my habe with blood taint. I was covered with sores and ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed to die. Several prominent physicians treated me, but all to no purpose. The mercury 'and potash which they gave me seemed to add fuel to tin* awful flame which was devouring me. I was advised by friends who had seen wonderful cures made by it, to try Swift’s Specific. I im proved from tiie start, as the medicine seemed to go direct to the cause of the trouble and force the poison out. Twenty bottles cured me completely.” Swift’s Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —is the only remedy that is guaranteed purely vegetable, and contains no mercury, potash, arsenic, or any other mineral or chemical. It never fails to cure Cancer, Eczema, Scrofula, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Foiaon, Tetter, Boils, Carbuncles, Sores, etc. Valuable books mailed free by Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Ga.
