The meeting held in the court house Tuesday night preliminary to the organization of a volunteer fire department, was very slimty atten ded, when the importance of the sub ject is considered. A. number of our most progressive citizens and largest property holders were conspicuous only by their absence. Capt. S. S. Ross was made chair man of the meeting, and Ed. H. De- Camp secretary. Speeches were made by Col. T. B. Butler, Mayor N. H. Littlejohn, Alderman L. Baker, J. D. Jones, Dr. W. C. Ham rick, J. A. Carroll, City Attorney H. K. Osborne, Prof. W. S. Hall and others. The subject was generally discussed. Several motions were made, carried and withdrawn. Fi nally a motion hy Col. Butler to the effect that the meeting request the City Council and the Board of Public Works to petition the people for funds to buy apparatus, prevailed. Prof. Hall was requested to draw up a paper setting forth the needs of a lire department. The following is Prof. Hall’s paper: There are .nsny good reasons why a liberal response should he made to their appeal 1st. It should be our ambition to have our town to rank with the best. This is a duty that pride and patriot ism demand of us. A town, shabby in appearance, and without those conveniences so necessary to health, beauty and security, commands no respect at home or abroad. 2nd. A well organized and (quip ped fire department is a saving in dollars ana cents. Gaffney now ranks as a fourth class town so far as in surance goes. A consultation with our most prominent insurance men discloses the fact that the rates are from ](;:f to T14 P or cei ‘k higher by reason of having no fire department. Calculate the saving on your policies and see if it will not benefit you financially to donate to this worthy enterprise. Suppose you carry no insurance. Calculate the probabilities of total loss, with and without a fire depart ment, and see if you cannot wisely invest a small sum to secure pro tection of life and property. ffrd. Business men are cautious about investing where insurance is high and protection low. It is Gaff ney’s interest to attract people and capital to secure that development within the range of her oossihilities. We wish to take and hold rank with the best towns of our country. 4th. Whether insured or not. wo wish to he reasonably secure from loss hy fire. The money paid on a policy in case of a lire may not cover the entire loss—certainly not when a home with its sacred memories and associations of the past is consumed by fire. Such a home can never he replaced. 5th. Experience has taught us that frequently the loss hy robbery and vandalism exceeds the loss hy fire. With a well organized lire de partment this evil will be obviated. When fire is discovered fire limits, or danger limits, will be established at once, and no one will be allowed within the lines except the trusted members of the department, who hy their systematic work will protect property from vandals. Gth. A largo number of public- spirited men in Gaffney are will'ng to organ!** themselves for the pur pose of systematic and efficient work in the effort to protect your homes and placeD of business from loss. This good work should receive the sympathy, aid and hearty co-opera tion of every citizen of Gaffney. Some of the noblest examples of per sonal courage and sacrifice of life to duty are recorded of firemen. Lastly. It is to the interest of the town and her whole citizenship to sen that tiiis laudable enterprise achieves the success it deserves. The committee desires means suffi cient to so equip the depart ment that its services may extend to the utmost limits of our town, there by giving to all greater security of life and property and that peace of mind which accompanies the knowl edge that our interests will ho care fully guarded by a trained force of men devoted to a lofty purpose. In order to inspire confidence in this undertaking the city council proposes to duplicate every dollar donated by the citizens of Gaffney. A Mult) Stolen. Some one stole a mule, buggy and sliot gun from Junius Sparks, about eight miles below the city, Wednes day night, and got off with them and is thought to have passed through this city about five o’clock yesterday morning. Mr. Sparks followed in about two hours in pursuit, and he was followed in a short time by Sheriff Thomas. At this writing nothing has been heard from them. It is hoped that the thief will be caught and receive the punishment ho deserves. KdUou'n Projecting Klnetoxcopo. This evening at 8 o’clock at the Graded School building A. F.

Wednesday morning the city was somewhat surprised at the announce ment that Prof. James R. Dye and Miss Kathlene Hall had married on tho evening before. The young couple have been in each others com pany a good deal of lute hut no one gave the matter serious thought. Miss Hall was teaching school in the country and boarding witii Mr. W. N. Turner. Prof. Dye has been paying his respects to her, so on Tuesday when he called at Mr. Turner's there was notiiing thought of it. He had not been there a great while when he and M iss Hull left in a buggy and came to Gaffney. They drove to the Methodist parsonage and were mar ried by Rev. Mr. Hodges. They then drove to the home of Prof. W. S. Hall, a brother of the bride, and informed them of their marriage. The fact • did not become generally known until Wednesday morning when the friends of the happy couple lost no time in extending congratu lations. Prof. Dye is the principal of the Gaffney Graded School. He came to Gaffney only a few months ago from Chester, and has won his way into the hearts of the people, and, hy way of parenthesis, into the heart of one of Cherokee’s fairest maidens, by his manly conduct and generous im pulses Miss Hall lias not been a resident of this cojnt) a great while, but she has been a frequent visitor since her brother, Pros. W. S. Hall, came to Gaffney several years ago, and has won many friends hy ner amiable disposition and Christian virtues. I.nckluirt Cooali. (Correspondence of The Ledger.)

CANCER IS DEADLb Results Fatally in Nine Cases Out of Ten- Cure Found at Last. -A This fearful disease often first appeajj as a mere scratch, a pimple, or lump tho breast, too small to attract art notice, until, in many cases, the dcadq disease is fully developed. Cancer can not be cured by a surgic operation, because the disease is a virulei poison in the blood, circulating throughout tho system, and althouc the sore or ulcer—known as tho Cancer—may be cut away, tl poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, wil renewed violence. The wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seat€ blood diseases which were consider xl incurable, induced afev-’d spairing sufferers to try it for Cancer, after exhausting tho skill the physicians without a cure. Much to their delight S. S. S. provej equal to tho disease and promptly effected a cure. Tho glad : spread rapidly, and 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 : “Caucer is hereditary in our family, my father, a sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful disease. My feelings may be imagined when the hor rible disease made its appearance on my side. It was a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as to cause great alarm. The disease seemed beyond tlie skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good whatever, the Cancer growing worse all the while. Numerous remedies wero used for it but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until it seemed that I was doomed to follow the others of the family, fori know how deadly Cancer is, especlall S. S.
