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—

POLK MILLER TO-NIOHT.
This Distinguished Delineator Closes the
I.yceuin Attractions.
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.

Marion Kooke, manager for T. M.

vere weather I caught u dreadful cold
which kept me awake at night and

Death of Mrs. Gaffney.
Mrs. Elizabeth Gaffney, widow of
the late John C. 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. Mrs. Gaff
ney was in her seventieth year and
was numbered among the county’s
old end good women. She was a
member of the Baptist church, kind
in disposition, gentle in manners,
ever watchful of the needs of tho dis
tressed, a kind neighbor and devoted
to her family, of which four sons and
one daughter, Mrs. J. 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.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Find Out.
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.
There is comfort in the knowledge sc
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills everj
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every pari
of the urinary passage. It corrects inabilit)
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasan
necessity of being compelled to go ofter
during the day, and to grt up many time:
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soor
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases,
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes
You may have a sample bottle of thij
wonderful discovery
and a book that tellsi
more about it, both sent j
absolutely free by mail,
