RUNNING SORE 7H o « ON HIS ANKLE. Obstinate sores and ulcers which refuse to heal under ordinary treat ment soon become chronic and deep- . _ seated, and are a sure sign that the 0 0 C entire circulation is in a depraved condition. They wi ui ar o a severe drain upon the system, and are con- After Sli Years of Intense Suffering, Promptly Cured By. gtantly sapping away the vitality. In every case the poison must be eliminated from the blood, and no amount of external treatment can have any effect. , . There ia no uncertainty about the merits of S. S. b.; every claim made for it is backed up strongly by convincing testimony of those who have been cured by it and know of its virtues by experience. l£r. \j. J. Clark, of Orange Courthouse,Va., writes: “For six years I had an obstinate, running ulcer on my •nkle, which at times caused me intense sulfering. I was ■o disabled for a long while that I was wholly unfit for ibosinees. One of the best doctors treated me constantly but did me no good. I then tried various blood remedies, without the least benefit. S. S. S. was so highly recom mended that I concluded to try it, and the effect was wonderful. It seemed to get right at the seat of the disease and force the poison out, and I was soon com pletely cured." Swift’s Specific— 8. S. 8.

We have the pleasure of announc ing the engagement of Mr. Polk Miller, who will give his Dialect Pe- cital, consisting of stories, sketches and songs, illustrative of old times in the South, with the old Virginia plantation negro as a central figure, at the opera house to-night. Mr. Miller is the best delineator of the old Southern plantation negro that has ever app ared on the public stage, and in his description of his “boy hood’s days down on the farm” he introduces tho most side splitting stories, and reproduces in a realistic manner those old plantation melo dies accompanied by the banjo, which carry the|old-time Southerners back to the days of their childhood: and gives to those who are not famil iar with the negro the very best opportunity of hearing the pure negro dialect from one who knows it, not from study nor from reading it, but from having been in contact with that race all his life. The entertainment is in no sense a lecture, but is rather “An evening of story and song.” If you would enjoy a hearty laugh, Mr. Miller comes prepared to furnish the incentive. It is a rare treat thus offered our people by bringing so distinguished an entertainer to our city and a large audience and a hearty reception should await Mr. Polk Miller this evening. Following are a few of the criti cisms of Mr. Miller by the press and prominent people • “The new genius of the South.”— Richmond (Va.) Times. “As an artist in his line he has no equal.”—Charleston (S. C.) Sun. “Mr. Miller knows the negro.”— Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution. “Mr. Miller is a genius as an en tertainer.”—Nashville (Tenn.) Amer ican. “Polk Miller is all that he is said to be.”—Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. ‘ Polk Miller kept his audience in a constant exercise of its risiblcs.”— Washington (1). C.) Post. “A Virginia gentlemen of the old school, a versatile writer, and last night proved him without a doubt a success in his chosen avocation.”— Wilmington, (X. C.) Star. “Polk Miller is one of the best delineators of the negro character that I have ever seen. An evening with him is an absolute pleasure. First, his quaint imitations of the old-time darkey bring side-splitting laughter, and then almost in the same breath, lie moves his audience to tears. He is a genius in his line, and what renders his entertainments more delightful is the fact that his anecdotes are pure, and replete with humor.”—Chas. T. O’Fekkall, Gov ernor of Virginia. SMALL POX. It Ih Well ITider Way and No Further Trouble Is Apprehended. Mr. Guthrie, the man who brought small pox from Whitney to Gaffney, is about well. His infant child has broken out with the disease. The family has been moved to an isolated house and is kept under strict guard, which we think will prevent any more cases. The city health authorities are un relenting in their efforts to stamp out the disease. Everybody is being vac cinated and the doctors and city of ficers aro still hunting for those they have not yet reached. Rusinees is going on as usual and people cun come and go with perfect safety. There is no unrest among the resi dents of Gaffney concerning the dis ease and what little excitement there was is fust subsiding. The Ledger regrets the necessity of mentioning this matter, but it is a newspaper and those who look to it for information may depend upon its telling the truth, however distasteful it may be. We will keep the public posted and hope to continue to have favorable reports from time to time until the disease is stampcdiout. Ceiisuit Appointments. The Rev. A. J. S. Thomas, of Greenville, supervisor of this, the fourth census district, has appointed the following gentlemen enumerators for Cherokee county: Cherokee township—W. P. Talbert, J. A. WhisonanG Draytonville township—Newton G. Littlejohn. Gowdey ville township—J.L. Strain, Frank McCluney. Limestone township—Acum Stacy, G. W. Bonner. Gaffney City—N. C. Sr.ead, E. B, Hamlin, Z. M. McCraw. White Plains township—W. A. Jtffi-ries. George vV. Chalk. The above shows that Mr. Thomas has made no appointments for Mor gan townships, but we suppose that they will follow soon. The gentle men who have been appointed are all worthy and competent. Gaffney'* New Holler Mill. Mr. T. I. Walker is working with his usual vigor on his roller mill and is rearing up its walls with remarka ble rapidity. He has bought all the machinery and will have his house ready and the machinery in place when wheat gets ripe. Mr. Walker has already built in Gaffney one of the best ginneries in the State and now comes his roller mill, another monument to hie enterprise and in dustry. ^ C’tttiKlit ii Dreadful Cold. Marion Kooke, manager for T. M. Thompson, a large importer of fine millinery at KJoH Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, says: “During the late se vere weather I caught u dreadful cold which kept me awake at night and made me unfit to attend my work dur ing t he day. Ori" of my milliners was taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy 1 fur i| si vi r c Id at ihat time, which setnn.d to i •lit ve ht r so quickly that j 1 bough! some for mys> if.

Gaffney, died at her home near Gaffney’s Ferry on Broad river, this county, on the 17th inst., and was buried at Limestone ceme tery yesterday afternoon.

D. Bundy, tf Texas, survive her. Her remains were followed to the cemetery yesterday by a large con course of relatives and friends who tenderly laid her away in the city of the dead to await the resurrection dawn. The funeral services were conduct ed at the home of the deceas-’* 1 by Rev. B. P. Robertson, of the i’irst Baptist church. Many so-called “bitters” are not medicines, but simply liquors dis guised, so as to evade the law. Prickly Ash Bitters is raot one of this class. It is strictly a medicine, acting primarily on the kidneys, liver and bowels, and for the danger ous diseases that attack these organs it is a remedy of the first grade. There is nothing objectionable in its taste, it has a very agreeable flavor and is acceptable to the most delicate stomach. Sold by Cherokee Drug Co.

Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set tling indicates an unhealthy condi tion of the kid neys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kid ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass It or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad der are out of order.
