HOME CURE FOR OLOOD POISON. Bovaro of the Doctors’ Patchwork; You Gan Gore Yourself at Home. There is not the slightest doubt that the doctors do more harm than good In treating Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of this loathsome disease would be much better off to-day if they had never allowed them selves to be dosed on mercury and potash, the only remedies which the doctors ever give for blood poison. The doctors are wholly unable to get r>d of this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the diseese-the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the system and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out into sorts, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself. , , . Mr H LTMyers, 100 Mulberry St.,I»ewark, N. J., says: I had spent a hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that they could do me ho good. I had large spots all over my bevy, and these soon broke out into running sores, and I endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro- duets. I decided to try S. S. S. as a last resort, and was toon greatly improved. I followed closely your ‘Direc- tlons for Self-Treatment,’ and the large splotches on my chett began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely. I was soon cured perfectly and my shin has been as clear as glass ever since. I cured my self at home, after the doctors had failed completely. It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors tenure Contagious Blood Poison, for the disease is be yond their skill. Swifts Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —sets in an entirely different way from potash and mercury—it forces the poison out of the system and gets rid of it entirely. Hence it cures the disease, while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever, constantly undermining the constitution.

The interest in the great Musical Festival to bo held May 8th and 9th under the auspices of the Limestone Choral Society is increasing daily. The members of the society began the canvass for subscribers to season tickets lust Friday morning and be fore noon of that day 200 tickets had been engaged. This makes the sub scription for the first half day, $500. No other city in this section of the country, for its first festival, has equaled this. The members of the society are gratified that the citizens of Gaffney have responded so generously. The financial success of the festival is certain. The high class artists engaged as sure its artistic success. This short sketch of the great vio lin virtuoso, who has been engaged, and will appear at each of the three concerts, will be of interest lo our readers : MK. MAX BKNDIX. “The name of Max Bendix, will al ways be linked in memory witli the famous Thomas’ orchestra; for it was he, as many will remember, who, af ter the sudden retirement of Theo dore Thomas, took up the arduous duty of director, gaining many laurels at the world’s fair. Before that time his reputation as a violin ist and concert-muster had been firmly established. In one or other of these capacities he lias appeared in every city of importance in the l nited States. He came to New York in ISS5 as concert-master for the great opera season at tlie Metro politan opera house. Although hut 20 years old, at that time, his excep tional abilities and remarkable talents as an orchestral violinist and soloist attracted the attention of the leading orchestral musicians of America. When a concert-muster was needed, therefore, for the Thomas orchestra. Mr. Thomas at one * offered him the post, which he held from ISSli to 1890. During the world's fair this orchestra consisted of ill artists, selected from the leading orchestral players of the world. This appoint ment so succes; fiily held during 10 ye ns lias placed him in the front rank of the present day musicians. It, is however, as a violinist that Max Bendix has made his name chiefly known. The most conservative critiques have pronounced him a born leader, possessed of a sense of rhythm that is irresistible, an intense tempera ment and a purity, strength and beauty of tone that are exquisite. Besides all this he is a true artist and musician, and seeks only that which is highest and best in the art. Halir speaks of Bendix’s marvelous left hand, which he says is a giant’s with tendons with steel, and Ysaye emphasized his appreciation of Mr. Bendix’s skill, after choosing him to assist in the concert tour last spring with Lachaume, Gerardy and Mar- teau, by the presentation of a bow of priceless value, once the property of Yieuxtemps. As a soloist, Mr. Bendix’s name is known throughout the United States wherever music in its highest form is appreciated. His repertoire is un usually large and contains all of the the standard compositions found in violin literature. A Ouh-l Homo WoUdintj. Rev. J. G. Huggins, recently ot this counfy, but now of Mississippi, and Miss Olive McKown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. W. McKown, were married at the home of the bride’s parents, near Mercer, on Wednesday morning, the I’.h inst., by Rev. W. II. Hodges, of this city. Miss McKown was one of the most popular and accomplished young la- di< s in the county, and no county ever reared u more worthy and ster ling man than George Huggins. These young people are both favorites in the county and have the best wishes of their many friends for iheir future happiness and prosp- rity, in which The Ledger heartily joins. Tne bridal couple left on the II o’clock vestibule for their Mississippi home. The following is the program of a meeting of the county teachers asso ciation which will be held in Gaffney oi Hie 7lh inst.: Reading, Miss Leila Morgan ; essay, Mrs. J. R. Dye; arithmetic, percent age, T. G. Chakk; analysis, S. A. Chambers. The meetings of this association aro generally well attended and are serving to interest the teachers in their work.

Mr. Bridges has had charge of the Second Baptist church almost ever since its completion. lie is an able preacher and a hard worker, and has done much gopd for the Second Bap tist church and. its congregations. His withdrawal from the church will be generally regretted in the city where he has many admirers. A ClilM Deutl. The six months old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Rogers died on Monday at the residence of its parents in this city, and was buried in Limestone cemetery Tuesday. In this sad iillliction the bereaved family have the sympathy of their many friends in the city.
