MR. HE'RBERT JOHNSON.
RAW AS BEEF n
FROM ECZEMA!
No Torlure Et, 'ol to the
Itching and Burning of
This Fearful Disease.
Not much Httention is often paid to tho
first symptoms of Eczema, but it is not Iona
before the little redness begins to itch nna
burn. This is but the brginning, and will
lead to suffering and torture almost unen
durable. It is a common mistake to regard
a roughness and redness of the skin as
merely a local irritation; it is but an indica
tion of a humor in the blood—of terrible
Eczema—which is more than skin-deep, and can not be reached by local appli
cations of ointments, salves, etc., applied to the surface. The disease itself,
the real cause of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering is produced
through the skin; the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through
the blood.
Mr. Phil T. Jones, of Miiersville, Ind., writes:
“I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal
of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me
constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and
began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or
six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up
all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I have
been treated by some of the best physicians and have
taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little
faith left I began to take S. S. S., and it apparently
made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the
way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing
8. 8. S., the sore healed up entirely, the ^kin became
clear and smooth, and I was cured perfectly.”
Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is
only a tonic. Swift’s Specific—
S. e. S. FOR THE BLOOD
—is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they oan
not reach. It goes to the bottom—to the cause of the disease—and will cure
the worst case of Eczema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It is
the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any
other mineral, and never fails to cure Eczema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood
Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumatism. Open Sores, Ulcers, Boils, etc. ^ Insist
upon S. S. S.; nothing can take its place.

cific Company, Atlanta, Georgia. _ j

us a few days ago with about one-
third of what had been a soap stone
pot which had been plowed up on his
farm near the city.

having exhausted its stock of seed.
It ran day and night through the sea

has been very satisfactory to the
management.
L. Baker has the contract to build
a two-story brick building for Mr. S.

to J. R. Tolleson’s store on Limestone
street. The first story will be fin
ished 'n an up-to-date style for a
store room, and the second story will
be cut up into well arranged office
apartments.
A light ruin fluring Wednesday and
a thunder storm at night stopped the
plows in the county. But Cherokee
farmers know their business and
being frugal of their means and op
portunities, will put the time in to
good advantage, and move tho plows
with renewed vigor when the ground
gets right,
The Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing
Company is putting material on the
ground to build a commodious office

HIS DREAM OF WEALTH.
A "I'lutocratlc" Negro Gooh to the Chain
Gaup- for Kuiinini; a ••Tigar.”
Monday’s session was rather a tame
one hut long before his honor called
time Tuesday morning, the court
room was crowded with an anxious
crowd waiting for the proceedings to
begin. A prominent colored gentle
man whose every day boast was that
he had plenty of money, and that his
gold rimmed spectacles cost him a
hundred dollars was the center of
attraction. But for all his riches he
said he didn’t think himself above
other negroes who behaved them
selves. His name was Will White.
ILs expensive spectacles his. boasted
wealth and his arMocratic restaurant,
which he presided over in a manner
becoming his wealth, brought in the
crowd to see what would be the result
of Will’s trial for running a “blind
tiger.”
Court was opened on time, the
plutocratic Will was brought in.
wiped his fine spectacles and laid
them aside for the momentous
occasion, whispered in the most ap
proved style to his attorney, took a
seat ami assumed an attitude becom*
ing his wealth. The mayor then
proceeded in regulation style and the
testimony began pouring in so fast
and furious against Will that his
guilt was apparent to a!!. His attor
ney, however, made a strong fight for
him which greatly encouraged him.
But things were too plain. The
mayor decided against him and re
manded him to jail to await a trial on
a similar charge Wednesday.
Wednesday morning Will was
brought before his honor again, and
again made a hard fight but it was no
good, every thing was against him,
and the plutocrat was a second time
knocked out. His attorney gave
notice of an appeal and his honor
sentenced him to thirty days on the
county chain-gang, or to pay a fine of
one hundred dollars in each case, and
the prisoner was remanded to jail.
Will had not b<en in jail long be-
for he concluded * that the whole
proceedings against him was the re
sult of a conspiracy to got some of
his known wealth, and that, he would
abandon the appenl, just work out
his time and keep his money. It is
thought he will be a coed bund.
A few other cases for vagrancy, ,
beating trains, etc., were thfnf
fliaposed of, all resulting in days or
dollars.

Tho llrillfiint 'It-nor Soloist of tin- .M union I
Festival.
Mr. Herbert Johnson, of Boston,
the first tenor of the famous Buggies
Street church male quartette, who
has been engaged as the tenor soloist
for the coming Music Festival, is
considered one of the greatest solo
tenors in America. His singing al
ways gives the greatest satisfaction
and he is invariably a favorite with
the audience. The following are a
few notices from some of the leading
newspapers in regard to his work:
“In the performance Mr. Herbert
Johnson easily led, being calm and
sustained in style, clear in speech
and both dignified and beautiful in
body and quality of tone.”—Boston
Courier.
“The soloists were all cordially re
ceived. Herbert Johnson is one of the
finest tenors ever heard in Rochester.
His voice is beautifully even, clear,
flexible, of great range, unvarying in
quality and used with consummate
art. Mr. Johnson sings with abso
lute ease, i’ossessed of a superb
stage presence, his very personality
seems to blend with and become a
part of the music he sings. In his
solo and its familiar encore, “8ally
in Our Alley,” he was equally pleas
ing, dignifying the quaint little bal
lad into almost the quality of an
aria by his exquisite method and
faultless style. In the opening
strains of the magnificent quartette
from “Rigoletto” his voice rang out
clear and sweet, and not once during
the evening did ho strain for a note
or sing with the slightest manifesta
tion of effort. Mr. Johnson’s singing
is a delight.”—Rochester Journal.
“Mr. Herbert Johnson has a tenor
voice sympathetic in quality and
especially rich and full in the upper
register, and he sang Ids recitative
and aria from “The Messiah” last
evening with telling effect ”—Wash
ington Post.
“Memorial church was crowded
last evening to listen to Mr Herbert
Johnson’s finely trained voice. As a
ballad singer he stands pre-eminently
at the head.”—Lynn Bee.
“Much of the interest of the
evening centered in the appear
ance of Mr. Herbert Johnson, in
connection with oratorio work, for
he has been looked upon by those
best acquainted witli his abilities as
a coming leader in this class of con
cert work. His success was. there
fore, particularly gratifying, espec
ially a* it was of the most pronounced
character, his singing of the aria
“The Enemy .Said,” calling out a
grand demonstration in his honor,
ho being twice recalk-d to bow his
thank.-. He baa a \oice of rare
beauty for such work; lie uses it
with consummate skill and his clear
enunciation, elegant phrasing, and
free and artistic delivery fullv justify
the brightest hopes for his future.”—

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Speciaiiste
rr
The Discoverer of Swamp-Root at Work in
Bis Laboratory.
There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous becauuc so decep
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
it—heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood—the albumen
—leaks out and the sufferer has Br.ght’s
Disease, the worst form cf kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney, bladder
and urinary troubles. It has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free
by mail, also a book telling about Swamp-
Root and its wonderful cures. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. and
