The j**xcursion from Gaffney City
and Blacksburg Inst Friday hud about
200 on bourj. Shelby people were
happy toweicomo the “beauty and
chivalry’’ of Cherokee county and
they all conducted themselves like
true gentlemen and perfect ladies al
ways do. During their stay here the
town belonged to them and a large
number of them visited Cleveland
Springs during the day. May they
repeat their visit in the near futnre
and bring a larger crowd next time.
Among the good Gaffney people
who were hcrejon the [excursion lust
Friday and called at this office we
note the following: J. It. Beason, a
former Cleveland county boy and now
a successful merchant; Rev. J. M.
Bridges, who labored so long in this
county and who is now doing a great
work as pastor of the Second .Baptist
Church in Gaffney,Jtho genialJW. H.
; Ross, a brother of one of Shelby’s
popular citizens. M. L. Ross, who is
always welcome here, and Col. T. B
Butler, a bright and successful young
lawyer, who is popular wherever
k nown.
Editor Ed. If. DeCamp, and Messrs.
Bakerjund Hopper, of the Gaffney
Ledger were Shelby visitors last Fri
day and pleasant callers at this office.
The Ledger is one of the most pro
gressive and enterprising papers in
the Palmetto State and merits the ex
tensive patronage it is receiving.
[SluUiuy Aurora.]
The excursion from Gaffney on last
Friday brought about two hundred
of that thriv Jing citizens. Most of
the excursionists spent the day at
Cleveland Springs. Baring the un
fortunate affray between Barrett and
Spencer, the day was pleasant and
the crowd orderly. At 4 o’clock in
the afternoon the game of ball be
tween Shelby and Gaffney was played
resulting in an over whelming defeat
of the visitors.
For the first four innings the game
promised to be a close contest, but
in the fifth the visitors went tojpieces,
and from that time to the close it
was just a walk over. For Gaff
ney, Humphries and Jones did part
of the batter} work. Humphries be
ing relieved by Richardson. They
pitched very good ball, but their sup
port was at times ragged. Gaffney’s
besi players were Humphries, Jones,
Brown and Richardson.
The game was entirely free from
unv unseemly wrangles and was won
on its merits.
Tht- Drought Kndt'il.
The long drought of nearly nine
weeks was ended Monday afternoon
and night, when fine showers fell in
nearly every part of the county, with
THE GREAT FOURTH.
Out- Solid Day of [tt al, Oooil T.njoynit-nt for
thoHt' Who Alttuiil.
Are you coming to Gaffney on the
Fourth?
If you do not you will miss one of
the host opportunities to laugh and
have a good time that lias ever been
presented to you.
Think about the fun of watching a
fellow trying to climb u twenty foot
pole that is us slick us glass and
greased besides. Think of a crowd of
boys chasing a half grown hog that
bus hud all the hair shaved off and
then been dipped in a kit of grease.
Think of a crowd of buys eatina pies
for a prize. Think of a crowd of
bright faced little girls chasing a
luml). Think of the baseball, the
bicycle racing, the potato races, the
wheel barrow races and the sack
races, to say nothing of the magnifi
cent and ennobling speeches we will
have on that day and if you cannot
think of enjoying yourself in the
midst of ail this why shut yourself
up in your box-turtle like selfishness
and stay away from the gay and fes-
| live throng that will predominate the
historic ground of beautiful Lime
stone on the Fourth.
Another feature of the day will he
a barbecue dinner, furnished by
Messrs. McGuinn, Holt ik Settk-
moyer. It is safe to say that the
dinner will be all that the most
fastidious epicurian could desire.
Let every man, woman and child
j within the bounds of Cherokee, who
can do so without positive injury to
themselves, lie present on that day.
It will be a gala day for all.
We extend a .-ptciul invitation to
our friends from all parts of the
county. Let BiucksKurg and ail the
good people from the other side of
the Broad come over that day and
mingle with the people of this side.
Let us all become better acquainted
with each other. This celebration is
meant to give all a good time and
everybody is invited to be present.

In a recent issue of The Ledger we
publislud an advertisement for a
br'ght young man who was willing
to work. Before the advertisement
was published the position was filled.
We have received not less than
twenty-live replies to that advertise
ment—some of them from other
states. We are sorry that we cannot
find employment for all the appli
cants. The moral is—when you
want help use the columns of The
Ledger.

noon also. Vegetation has taken on
new life and is glowing vigorously.
Farmers have dropped their dry
weather gait. Every man and team
are putting in their best luying-by
licks and are coming in on the last
quarter in fine shape. The lands
from which wheat and oats have been
harvested are being fertilized and
sown in peas, which will improve the
land and yield a crop which is un
surpassed as a forage crop. If any
hay is shipped to Cherokee county
next your it will be because our farm
ers will not make a supply, and not
because they cannot.

S. S. S. is tiie Only
Remedy Equal to litis
Obstinate Disease.
There arednzensof remedies recommended for
Scrofula, gome of them no doubt being able to
afford temporary relief, but S. S. S. ig absolutely
tho only remedy which completely euros it.
.Scrofula isonoof the most obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases, ami is beyond tho reach of the
many so-called purifiers and tonics because some
thing more than a mere tonic is required. S. 8. M.
is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because it
goes down to tho seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating every
trace of tho taint. <
The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads
should imprers upon those afflicted with it the vital im
portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can
not possibly effect u cure. In many case ’ where the wrong
treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular
swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that
a dangerous surgical operation is necessary.
Mr. H. E. Thompson,of Milledgeville, Ga., writes: “A
bad case of Scrofula broke out on tho glands of my neck,
which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I
was treated for a long while, but the physicians were un
able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I
began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used,
but without effect. Some one recommended S. S. S., and
I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles.
Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently,
and have never had a sign of the disease t<> return.” Swift's Speciflc-
—i« the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, floop-sented
blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the various
so-called tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can be promptly cured,
instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermines
the constitution. S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and never foils to
cure Scrofula, Eczema. Cancer, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Boils,
Tetter, Pimples, Sores, Ulcers, etc. Insist upon S S S.; nothing can take its place!
Books on blood and skin diseases will be mailed free to any address by the
