Truehlo-rfl to t^oture on "MiUtiir- Isiu. or The CoIokhuI Crime of Kuroix*.’* The Gaffney Lyceum has arranged something more than the ordinary oratory and entertainment than is expected from the platform. This is a real innovation which will be much appreciated by the more progressive of all communities. 8 j far the South, being far from the eastern metropoli tan centres, has had few opportuni ties to see and hear the foremost lead ers of progress. They have undeilaken to bring on the courses the men who are recognized as the national leadeis of the most important movements of the day, and first they will have the international peace movement repre sented by the secretary of the Amer ican Peace Society, Dr. Benj. F. True- blood, of Boston, who will lecture on the “Colossal Crime of Europe.” This comes very opportunely low, us both the Anglo-Saxon nations are. us many believe, unnecessarily at war with weaker liberty-seeking ceople. This imperial military spirit must be educated out of the American neople before it gets u permanent hold. Dr. Trueblood, besides being secretary of the Peace Society, is the editor of • The Advocate of Peace,” and author of that very able book, "The Federa tion of the World.” Before being called seven years ago to his present position he was president for sixteen years of colleges in Ohio ar.d Iowa. The year of '92 lie spent in Europe closely studying the colossal crime of Europe, and* this is the lecture that will be given. In the great peace congress he represented the Amer ican society and was one of the prin cipal forces behind the throne of the assembled statesmen Besides being a director of the International Peace Bureau at Berne, he is a member of ihe International Law Association. His dnte is this evening in the Opera House. The Weather. After considerable rain Saturday the wind came out from the West late in pie afternoon and moved the clouds out toward the East which soon left the sky as clear as a bell. By night the velocity of the wind was increased and the mercury was falling rapidly. .Sunday morning the wind was still high and one of the coldest days of the winter was with us. Late Sunday afternoon the wind moderated and the mercury rose several degrees yesterday morning the weather had moderated considerable but the ground was sti'l trozen and clouds gathered early indicating more ‘ fail ing weather” Kegint ration CIom <1. The books for the regi-tration of voters for the election for Mayor and Aldermen were closed Saturday at three o’clock. The number register ed footfd up 117 and if they all vote at the election on the sixth ot-Mnrch it will be by far the largest vote ever cast in Gaffney at a municipal elec tions. The following are the num ber in each Ward: Ward 1. niiietv- four; Wuid 2, seventy; Ward 3, sixty-five; Ward 4, sixty-three; Ward o, eighty-live; Ward 0, forty. A Itix Hunt. Fletcher Smith, Prater Smith and Jim Jones went birl hunting Friday and killed lifty-two birds.

The municipal election which will come off in Gaffney on the (>th of March will be the first one since the city has been laid off in wards. There will be only one alderman elected in each ward. Each voter will vote in the ward in which he lives and is registered and will only- vote for the candidate for alderman be wishes elected in his own ward and for the mayor. We publish the above as there seems to be an impression with some that the voter will vote for all the aldermen as heretofore. So bear in mind that you vote only for the mayor and alderman from your own ward. We are glad that there is so little excitement about the election and trust they all will continue in their present prudent course. All the can didates have the interest and ad vancement of Gaffney at heart and such of them as will bo elected will move forward with these interests first, last and all the time in view, and wili not lag, but will hoid Gaff ney in the high niche she occupies at present and push her higher when ihe opportunity affords. A Small Fire. Sunday morning about three o’clock the fire alarm was sounded which met with a quick response. The locality was found to be in a cabin belonging to Mr. W. A. Doggett, and occupied by colored people, not far in rear of Carroll <fc Carpenter’s store. The people went to work with a will, saved most of the furniture and prevented the house from being entirely con sumed. G. H. Appleton, Justice of Peace, Clarksburg, N. J., says. ‘ DeWltt'a Little Early Kisers are the best piiis made for constipation. We use no others.” Quickly cure all liver and bowel troubles. Cherokee Drug Com pany. After our M1U F«ojple. Colton manufactures of Denver, Colorado, are making overturns to mill workers in Gaffney to go to Denver to work in cotton mills. It would be a long trip and will not likely prove advantagious to any of our people to make it. We have observed our mill people closely and find those who have been here longest are prosperous and with no dispositio i to leave. When’you have a good job hold and don't spend money getting another that doesn’t pay any better. A yult-k Triji. Car No. 1250 of the Swifts Kefriger- ator Line left Chicago on the night of the 19th inst. directed to the Whole sale Harratt Magoess Co., of this city. It was loaded with nwat, and came over the Illinois Central. Seaboard Air Line and the 8. C. A- G. E , Kail- road and arrived in Gaffney on the23rd inst. Making the trip in less than four days. This speaks well for the roads over which it came and marks them as buf-iness pushers. “I am indebted to One Minute Cough Cure for my health and life. It cured me of lung trouble following grippe.” Thousand* owe their lives to the prompt action of this never failing remedy. It cures coughs, colds, croup, bronchitis, pneumonia, grippe and throat and lung troubles. Its early use prevents consumption. It is the only harmless remedy that gives immedit-te results.
