Trouble.
Monday morning about fifty people
from Gaffney and vicinity boarded
Capt. Bill Kamseur’s excursion train
for a trip to Marion, N. C., where
they went to attend .John Robertson’s
circus. At Cherokee Falls a few
more joined the excursionists and at
Blacksburg live cars were added to
the train. All along the route the
excursion crowd was augmented and
when it readied Marion there were
several hundred on hoard. Capt.
Tripp's private car was attached to
the rear of the excursion train and
on board it were President Hunt,
General Freight and Passenger Agent
Lumpkin, Major Green and Capt.
Tripp. At a point a few miles above
Blacksburg as the train was rounding
a sharpe curve the coupling that
attached the private car of Capt.
Tripp to the train broke and the car
became detached. The accident was
discovered immediately and the tram
shifted back to the detached ear. At
Shelby a large crowd got on board,
among them being Capt. Ramseur
and several members of his family.
At a small station above Ruther-
fo id to n a delay was occasioned by a i
hot box. While the trainmen were
working with the hot box a part of
the crowd amused themselves by
walking around, swapping lies, and
in other ways. A reminder of the
first days of the Three C’s was a sign
warning persons not to trespass on
the property with the name ot John
K. Jones signed as superintendant.
The rest of the trip going was
without iheident and the train arrived
at Marion about 12 o’clock, which
was at least tw'o hours behind sched
ule time. The crowd made a rush
for tho town, some going to hotels
and restaurants while others went to
passes through a innunlair.nuH j
country that presents u picturesque
view to the traveller. Home of the |
curves around the mountain poukos
are said to ho the shortest in the !
history of railroad building. We i
noted that a passenger riding on the J
rear car could not see the lifdi car in j
front of him because it was hid by I
the mountain.
The bibacious portion of the ex cur- |
sionlsts became rather boistrous on ;
the return trip and pistols were tired j
out into the blackness of the night
with a recklessness that, was pre
cocious. Another tiling that added to -
the discomliture of those of the pas- |
sengers who were disposed to show !
that they were civilized was the fact 1
that every now and then some one !
would throw a rock at the train.
One of the missiles shattered the '
glass at the end of Superintendent |
fripp’s car, but, fortunately, no one j
was hurt. Those in charge of the i
train and the officers on board did all !
in their power to keep order, but in |
spite of their efforts the hoodlums
displayed their barbarity. The train j
reached .Gaffney about 11 o’clock, I
and as it rolled into the station (;on- j
ductor McGuire uttered a sigh of re
lief and we alt felt thankful that no
one had been injured.

Hon. W. G. Austell took a Ledger
representative out to .Mr. J. J. Gaff
ney's plantation Tuesday and showed
to him one of the prettiest sights in
farming that is to he witnessed in
this section. It was an immense
field literally covered with hay stacks.
Mr. Gaffney hud sown about ten
bushels of peas on the field and al
lowed the peas to grow up with the
native grasses. iMr. Ciiarley Austell
had cut the hay with an improved
mower. Mr. Ed. Shelly was manipu
lating the rake and a couple of col
ored farm hands were stacking it.
There were about two hundred stacks
of hay piled up in the field at the time
the writer was there and the team was
hauling it in while the hands were
still stacking it. In all there will be
about twenty tons of hay made on
this field. This was not a good year
for making hay and the yield was
not what it might have been hut it
was an inspiring sight to see those
immense stacks of hay raised right
at our own doors when we know that
it has been tho custom for our
planters to raise live cent cotton and

This F8<ii[<!l Disease,
Not much attention is often paid to the
lii rt symptoms of Eczema, but it is not lon^
before tin* little redrinss begins to itch and
burn. This is but the beginning, ami will
lead to suffVring and torture almost unen
durable. It is a common mistake to regard
u rouelinei:i and redness of the skin as
merely a local irritation; it is but an indica
tion of a humor in the blood—of terrible
Eczema—which is more than sklri-(’i*f*p, and can not he reached by local appli
cations of ointments, Halves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself,
t ne real cause of the trouble, is in tho blood, although all suffering is produced
through the akin ; the only way to read, the disease, therefore, is through
tho blood.
Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Mixersvllle, Ind., writes:
“J hud Eezema thirty years, and after a gn at deni
of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gnvo me
constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and
began to spread and grow worst*. For the past fivo or
flix years I have suffered untold agony and had given up
all hope of ever being free from the »li

ft
“Actions of the Just

The fragrance of life is
vigor and strength, neither o[
avhich can be found in a per
son whose blood is impure,
and whose every breath
speaks of internal troubles.
Hood's Sarsaparilla purifies,
Un ase, us f have
icinus nud have
taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little
faith left I began to take S. S. S., and it apparently
made the Eczema worse, hut I knew that this was tho
way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing
S. H. S., tin* sore healed up entirely, tin* skin became
clear ami smooth, and I was cured perfectly.”
Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is
only a tonic. Hvvift’s Specific—

in superior to otm-r biood remedies because it euros diseases which they can
not reach, it goes to the bottom - —to the cause of the disease—and will cure

literally covered with atypical moun- ;
tain crowd all of whom seemed to
manifest the deepest interest in the
show and everything connected with
it. There is a facinution in watching
the crowd at a circus and this facina- j
tion was heightened on this occasion j
by the fact that the appearance and i
demeanor of a largo number of those
present was indicative that this was
their first trip. The fakirs reaped a
rich harvest from the credulous and
it reminded us of the time that a |
bright professional man from Gaffney
was seduced by the artful manipula
tor of the shell game at Wallace
Bros., circus in Blacksburg about two
years ago.
The circue itself was only passible.
The menagerie was fair and the per
formance ordinary. There were
seve. il good features, tho best one
being an equilibrist act that was re
markable. The clowns were very
good, especially the simpleton who
was looking lor his “paw.” Old John
Lowlow, who has been identified
with Robertson’s circus for the past
forty years, came into the ring for a
short while in order, as ho said, to
contradict the report that ho was
dead and to entertain the gathering
with a few jokes. Mr. Lowlow is per
haps tho best known jester in the
world today and has entertained more
American people than any other
living man. Wo remember him as
far back as twenty-five years ago
when lie and William Ashe were
associated together as the clowns for
Robertson’s circus and to our boyish
mind they were then the two funni-
est man on earth.
The usual concert was given after
the show hut very few remained.
The people have been faked so often
by this old dodge that they are begin
ning to get a little weary and tho
concerts are not patronized as they I
once were. After all was over the
crowd collected on the streets of
Marion and a largo number of the
men began to fill up on ‘‘mountain
dew.” The train left Marion a little
after G o’clock. The ladies were put
in tin* rear cars and the doors locked
