Mr. Ciiftli K, kli;ni'il.
“I am sorry that Mr. E. B. Wilbur
is going to leave Newberry but glad
of his promotion. Mr. Wilbur is not
only an excellent mill superintend
ent but lie and his wife had identified
themselves fully with our town and
its enterprises and took an interest
in everything that helped tlie com
munity. They were also active
workers in tlie church and Sunday
school. We do not like to lose such
citizens.”
We clip the above from tlie New
berry News and Herald of the 7th.
Mr. Wilbur is coming to Gaffney to
take charge of the Gaffney Manufac
turing Company, as superintendent,
vice E. R. Cush resigned. Mr. Casli
lias resigned in order to take charge
of the electric lights and waterworks
for tlie city. His resignation will
take effect about the 18th, and Mr,
Wilbur assumes control on the 20th
hist.
Both the city fathers and the Gaff
ney Manufacturing Company have
been wise in their selections. No bet
ter man could the town have gotten
to take charge of their power house
than Mr. Cash, while Mr. Wilbur is a
practical and up-to-date mill man of
wide experience, and is a thorough
Christian gentleman. We welcome
Mr. Wilbur to our city and hope he
may find his stay with us both pleas
ant and profitable.

Uncle Mark lloyd.
An item that will interest many of
our readers, we clip from the Coro-
iina Spartan. (Tide Mark Boyd has
preached in this city a number of
times, and is well known to many
here.
“Uncle Mark Boyd, in his 94th
year, attended Central Church Sun
day. When lie was born our coun
try was young. George Washington
died live years before Mr. Boyd’s
birth. Thomas Jefferscn was just en
tering on his second term as presi
dent. Methodism was also in its in
fancy at that time, for John Wesley
had passed away in .1791. It is
rather a wonderful thing for one
man’s life to span nearly all the
years of this century.”
Cant of Thanks.
We take this method to return
many thanks to our many friends
who so nobly waited on our mother
during iier sickness.

At a meeting of the Town Council
heid on tlie 7th an ordinance was en
acted curtailing tlie name “Gaffney
City” to “Gaffney,” and also chang
ing the title of “Intendent” to
“Mayor,” and of “Wardens” to “Al
dermen.”
A committee was appointed to in
vestigate tho territory and population
inside the corporate limits so as to
fairly divide the town into six wards,
in accordance with an ordinance re
lating to the same.
A resolution was adopted to ap
point some day in the near future on
which to call a mass meeting of the
citizens to assist the Town .Council
in making some provision for fire pro
tection. The Municipal League is
invited ns a body to be present and
render all the aid possible to secure
what all realize as a necessity. A
good water supply will soon be avail
able and we need reels, hose, trucks,
etc., so as to utilize the water supply
for mutual protection and to decrease
insurance.

Kidney Trouble Makes You Miserable.
Almost everybody who reads the news
papers is sure to know of the wonderful
, cures made by Dr.
j, Kilmer’s Swamp-Root,
j the great kidney, liv«f
and bladder remedy.
r It is the great medi-
' ^ cal triumph of the nine-
' ‘ teenth century; dis
covered after years of
scientific research by
Dr. Kilmer, the emi
nent kidney and blad
der specialist, and is
wonderfully successful in promptly curing
lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou
bles and Bright’s Disease, which is the worst
form of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is not rec
ommended for everything but if you have kid
ney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found
just the remedy you need. It has been tested
in so many ways, in hospital work, in private
practice, among the helpless too poor to pur
chase relief and has proved so successful in
every case that a special arrangement has
been made by which all readers of this paper
who have not already tried it, may have a
sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book
telling more about Swamp-Root and how to
find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.
When writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper and
send your address to
Dr. Kilmer & Co..Bing

The territory of Arizona Is a vast
museum of natural curiosities, includ
ing many of the most wonderful iu all
the world. The atmosphere, the cli
mate, the mountains, the soil, tlie riv
ers, tiie forests are tilled with phe
nomena, many of which exist nowhere
else. In the desert, 800 miles square,
with Flagstaff as a eouter, are spread
out a variety of wonders of which the
people of this country have little or no
conception, but if they were in Eu
rope or Asia thousands of our citizens
would cross the ocean to see them.
Being within only two or three days’
journey of Chicago and easy ofYiecess
by frequent trains of sleeping and
dining cars aud other modern luxuries
of travel, they are overlooked by the
multitude aud are practically un
known.
To my mind, next to the Grand can
yon of the Colorado, the most interest-
lug and impressive of the natural won
ders of tills great Arizona museum is
the petrified forest, which covers near
ly 100 square miles, within easy dis
tance, either on foot or horseback,
from Billings station, on the Santa
Fe railroad, hut it can he more easily
reached by carriage from Holbrook,
where better accommodations can be
found. The government explorers have
christened it Chalcedony park.
The surface of the ground for miles
and miles around is covered with gi
gantic logs three or four feet in diam
eter, petrified to the core. Many of
them are translucent. Some are almost
transparent. All present the most beau
tiful shades of blue, yellow, pink, pur
ple, red and gray. Some are like gi
gantic amethysts, some resemble tho
smoky topaz and some are as pure and
white as alabaster. At places the chips
of agate from the trunks that have
crumbled lie a foot deep upon the
ground, and it Is easy to obtain cross
sections of trees showing every vein
and even the bark.
Comparatively little of this agate has
been used in manufacturing, although
it is easy to obtain. Manufacturing
jewelers of New York have made table
tops and boxes and other articles from
strips that have been sent them, and
If the material were not so abundant
its beauty would command enormous
prices. Where you can got a carload of
jewelry for nothing you are not like
ly to pay high prices for it.
A bird’s eye view of the petrified for
ests on a sunny day suggests a gigan
tic kaleidoscope. The surface of tho
earth resembles an infinite variety of
rainbows. The geologists say this great
plain, now 5,0UU feet above the sea,
was once covered by a forest, which
was submerged for ages iu water
strongly charged with minerals, until
the fibers of the trees were thoroughly
soaked and transformed into eternal
stone. Many of the trunks are .still
packed In a deposit of fine clay, which
was left by the receding waters, but
the erosion of the wind has pulverized
much of the clay aud carried it off in
the air, exposing the secrets that na
ture buried under Us surface.
One great tree spans a deep gulch 40
feet wide. It lies where it fell cen
turies, perhaps ages, ago, and Is a most
beautiful specimen of petrified wood.
The rings and the bark can be easily
traced through the translucent agate,
and it is firm enough and strong
enough to last as many centuries as it
has already spent in its peculiar posi
tion. It is undoubtedly tlie only
bridge of agate in the world and alone
is worth a long journey to see.
The Indians of the south west used
to visit the petrified forests frequent
ly to obtain agate for their arrow and
spear heads, and tho material was
scattered over the entire continent by
exchange between the different tribes,
from the isthmus of Panama to Ber
ing strait. The great deposit here ex
plains where aH tho arrowheads of
moss agate came from and other
weapons and implements of similar
material that are found in the Indian
mounds and graves of the central and
western states. In tlie stone age the
agate of the petrified forest was the
very best material that could be ob
tained for both the implements of war
and peace of the aborigines. A scalp
ing knife could be made very easily
from one of the chips of agate and
could be ground to a very fine edge.
Many crystals were used for jewelry
and ornaments also.—Chicago Record.

“The worst kind of a fool in the
world is a well meaning fool,” said a
detective bagely. “1 was walking along
one night in a nclghhntiiot d not neces
sary to specify, when up rushed a
man In his shirt sleeves and grabbed
me by the arm. ‘Say, officer!’ he ex
claimed, calling me by name, ‘I just
saw a fellow do something that ho
ought to get ten years for at hast.
Ho was a big loafer In a checked suit,
and I would know him again in
China’—
“‘But what did he do?’ I interrupted.
“ ‘Why, I was sitting on my porch,’
replied the man in shirt sleeves, ‘and
saw him go up deliberately to that
letter box on tho corner and drop in a
lighted cigar stump. Just think of the
valuable mail the scoundrel might
have destroyed!’
“ ‘Are you sure the cigar was lit?’ 1
asked.
"‘Well, I’m pretty sure,’ lie said,
‘but you needn’t to worry. lie hasn’t
burned up anything.’
“ ‘How the dickens do you know he
hasn’t?’ said I, surprised.
“ ‘Why, 1 got a pitcher of water and
poured it right in,’ said he. I walked
off. I never did find out what those
letters looked like when the carrier
got around.”—New Orleans Times-

‘“Laugh and the world laughs with
yon.’ How true that Is,” said Mr. Ilig-
gleson. “To have written just that
lino was worth living for.”
“Oh, I don’t know about that,” Mrs.
Higgleson replied. “I admit that there
is a good tfiral of philosophy in tlie
poem from which those words are tak
en, but it Isn’t always true.”
“My dear,” Mr. Higgleson exclaimed,
“you art- mistaken. It is always true.
‘Laugh and the world laughs with you.’
It’s as true as anything that has ever
been written. The whole philosophy
of human existence is bound up in
those few words.”
“The whole philosophy of human ex
istence may bo bound up In them.” tho
lady responded, “but I insist that it
doesn’t always happen that way. I’ve
noticed that you always laugh when
you try to tell a funny story, but it’s
very seldom that the world laughs
with you.”
Mr. Higgleson drew himself up with
all tlie dignity he could command and,
striding angrily from tho room, ex
claimed:

Man,’ ‘How sharper than a serpent’s
tooth it Is to have a sneering wife.’
