We do not see the name of a repre

Prof. W. C. Blake, of Spartanburg,
who is in the city assisting in the
summer school for teachers, fm Wed
nesday presented The Ledger with
some pretty specimens of calcite
which lie gut hen 4 at the lime quarry
at Limestone. The specimens were
very pretty but are not of sufficient
size to be of much value. There is
hardly any estimate to he put upon
the mineral in and around Limestons
and we expect some day to hear of
j someone who lias the ability and the
[ pluck to operate the mine making an
i immense fortune out of it. Then
j there will be considerable
! the part of others.
here Mr. Patterson called on The
Ledger and renewed his allegiance.
N. W. Hard! >, Esq., of Blacks

President J. E. Bierck, of the Gaff

Philadelphia, where lie had been on
business connected with the mill.
Somewhat Hiunpereti,
The Ledger has been somewhat
hampered this week. Mr. Floyd Ba
ker and the irrisistable “Flaw Picker”
have both been so indisposed as to be
confined to their respective homes,
while Mr. Hopper lias been off visit
ing his parents, and as a result we
have been somewhat cramped in the
mechanical department.
However, Messrs Nelson, Darby,
and Brohawn, assisted by a traveling
typographical artist, have been able
to meet the emergency and we are en- ! r s 7 W
11 in- full months.

You’ll Be Sorry
When you see your neighbor standing
ahead of you in the Class of Progress.
Then you will regret that you did not
keep abreast ofthe times too by reading
The Ledger,
of
this
last Mon
day after un illness of about a week.
Death was due to a stroke of pvraly-
sis which the deceased received about
two weeks ago. On Saturday, July
1st, Mr. Clary was at Spartanburg.
He had gone to the roller mills for a
load of Hour and was driving up
Main street when he felt the stroke
of paralysis coming on him. A few
minutes afterward he fell from the
wagon from the elfects of the stroke.
Mr. Clary was taken home and medi
cal aid summoned but all that could
be done for him was of no avail. He
succutnhered to the stroke us an
nounced.
Mr. Clary was in his forty-third
year. He was a member of Mace
donia church where he joined
about twenty-two years ago De
ceased leaves a wife and ten children.
The funeral was preached at Mace
donia church Tuesday by Rev. J. M
Bridges, of the Second Baptist church
of this city. The large concourse
which attended the funeral was but
a brief testimony of the esteem in
which the dead man was held by IBs
neighbors.

Ossiiib Fatally in Nine
Gases Out of Ten—A
Cure Psuiid at Last.
This fearful disease often first appears
as a mere scratch, a pimple, or lump in
the breast, too small to attract any
notice, until, in many cases, the deadly
disease is fully developed.
Cancer can not bo cured by a surgical
operation, because the disease is a virulent
poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although T
the sore or ulcer—known as the Cancer—may be cut away, the V
poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with
renewed violence.
The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated
blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few de
spairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting the skill of
the physicians without a cure. Much to their de-light S. S. S. proved
equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The glad news
spread rapidly, qnd it was soon demonstfated _
beyond doubt that a cure had at last been
found for deadly Cancer. Evidence has accu
mulated which is incontrovertible, of which
the following is a specimen :
“Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, a
sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful
disease. My feelings may oe imagined when the hor
rible disease made its appearance on ray side. It was
a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as
to cause great alarm. The disease seemed beyond "the
skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good
whatever, the Cancer growing worse all the while.
Numerous remedies were used for it but the Cancer
grew steadily worse, until it seemed that 1 was doomed
to follow tiie others of the family, for I know how deadly Cancer is, especially
when inherited. I was advised to try Swift’s Sjviflc (8. S. 8 ), which, from the
first day, forced out the poison. I continued its use until I had taken eighteen
bottles, when I was cured sound and well, and have had no symptoms of the
dreadful allliction, though many years have elapsed. S. 8. S. la the only cure
for Cancer.—Mrs. S. M. Idol. "Winston, N. C. £
•'Our book on Cancer, containing’ other testimonials and valuable
information, will ba sent free to any address by the Swift Specific
Company, Atlanta, Georgia.
