IntrrrMt Hiih <In Two P&rtW'iilur C'tifieM. • There has been considerable in terest manifested in the proceedings of the Court of Common Pleas t his week and there have been quite a number of visitors in the city the en tire week. Tho two most notable cases were those of M. M. Freeman against C. C. Hughes and J. F. Whisonant and the case of Callie Perry against tho Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing Company. In the former case the defendant was given a verdict for *ir>0. Tho later suit is for damages which the plaintiff claims by reason o£tho colored water from the vuts in the dye house of the carpet mill running into a branch that passes through his lands. This case was engaging the attention of the court yesterday and had not been decided at tho time this article was written. Other cases that oc cupied tho attention of the court during the week were : J. L. Spake plaintiff vs. .1. H. Itelew, Johnson Oglesby, ct. al., de fendants. Consent verdict of *."> damage in favor of plaintiff. The I). F. Briggs Co., plaintiff vs. S. B. Crawley A- Co., defendants. Consent verdict, jury No. 1—*ldSffO in favor of plaint iff. R. S.

WORKONTHE WATERWOf <S It Is Now I'rojjrt’iisliijj in i» Nntlsfiwlnry .Manner Pipe* l.nying Contract Let. Work on the waterworks plant is once more progressing in a most sat isfactory manner. The material for the standpipe arrived the first of the week and has been placed on the ground. The building of the stand pipe will be pushed from this on with great vigor. Mr. Thompson, the foreman of tho force of workmen engaged at the power house, reports everything as progressing as nicely as could bo expected. He bus had some difficulty in getting a founda tion for the reservoir, but thinks ho will eventually be able to secure a lirm foundation. A largo amount of the new piping lias arrived and has been distributed along the thoroughfares where it is to be laid. Mr. John C. Lipscomb has been awarded the contract for laying this pipe and will commence work right away. Mr. Larkin Little will superintend the laying of the pipe for Mr. Lipscomb. There will he about two miles of tho new pipe. This will enable the Board of Public Works to cover a good portion of the town with pipe, thus supply ing nearly every section with water. An IiiccnillHry Itarn liiii-nlni; The barn and contents belonging to Mr. James Jolly, of Kzells, was destroyed by an incendiary fire last Friday morning. The fire occurred just before day, and not only com pletely destroyed the barn but con sumed everything in it. One horse and a mule, two cows, about three thousand bundles of fodder, a wagon, a bale of cotton and a lot of wheat, in all about five hundred dollars worth of property, was destroyed. Mr. Jolly did not carry any insurance and the loss is a particularly heavy one on him. He is a hard working and in dustrious man and has made what he possesses by strict attention to bis own affairs, and tho fullest extent of the law should be meted tint to the scoundrel who fired his burn if ho should bo caught. An Kiil<*r|irUiiii; Colored Man. B F. Bridges is an industrious colored farmer who lives near Gaffney that sols an example that would ben efit others of his race if emulated. For years he lias been working lands belonging to Mr. it. M. Gaffney and Mr. J. O. Daniels. Ben was in town Wednesday and was proudly carrying around in bis pockets receipts for over *200 that be bad just paid the different people with whom he deals, and he hud just closed a trade for a farm of his own. We like to see thrift and industry among the colored people as well ott the white people, and we note that the majority of the industrious colored people in this county, like Ben Bridges, are subscri bers to The Ledger. A Sulisl It utc for Mr. Illi-rrk. Harry I. Kllerhe left yesterday on the vestibule for Huntsville, Ala., where he goes to read a paper before the Southern Industrial Convention now In session in that city. Mr. Kllerhe will read bis paper today. Mr. J. K. Bicrt k was to go and read the paper but ho has been detained in Hie city on account of a law suit and sent Mr. Kllerhe in his stead. The paper is on the subject of frlogbt rates and was prepared by Mr. Biorck. It is a valuable paper and treats ex haustively of the abuses to which Southern manufacturers are sub jected by railroads in the unjust dis crimination in friegbt rates. S. B. CRAWLEY & CO I Syrup. Tmu-41 (ainhI. In Sniii tiy iinmeiNiN. MPT ION After Six Years of Intense Suffering, Promptly Cured S. every claim Obstinate sores and ulcers which refuse to lioal under ordinary treat ment soon become chronic and deep- seated, and are a sure siign that the Du C C C entire circulation is in a depraved condition. They DJ Oi Oi are a severe drain upon the system, and are con stantly sapping away the vitality. In every case the poison must ho eliminated from the blood, and no amount of external treatment can have any effect. There is no uncertainty about the merits of S. S. S. made for it is backed up strongly by convincing testimony of those who have neon cured by it and know of its virtues by experience. Mr. L. J. Clark, of Orange Courthouse, Va., writes: " For six years I had an obstinate, running ulcer on my ankle, which at times caused mo intense suffering. I was so disabled for a long while that I was wholly untit for business. One of the best doctors treated me constantly but did mo no good. I then tried various blood remedi ’s, without the least benefit. S. S. S. was so highly recom mended that I concluded to try it, and the effect was wonderful. It seemed to get right at the seat of disease and force the poison out, and I was soon pletely cured.” Swift’s Specific— com- |THE boston store Is the only place to get n good bargain and full value of the dollar in. . . .
