Arc you going to the Battleground to.norrow? Many farmers' teams came to the city yesterday loaded with wood, and from the lumber mills sections they brought lumber which our builders were needing. We saw Mr. Will Young, of All good, bring in a load of fodder from his farm yesterday, which must have contained SOU or 10(Hj bundles. The bundles were large, well cured and showed they had been well handled. A number of Cherokee’s old soldiers and widows of other heroes long since gone, have been in the city this week receiving the pittance which the stale allows them in their old age. They say the amount gets smaller every year. Gaffney representatives in Char lotte have nearly ail returned and with one accord are full of praises for the old city, the success of every feature of her independence day celebration and the hospitality of her people. 1'rof. Wade R. Brown director of Limestone College sciiool of music, has been appointed by .Superinten dent of Education McMahan, to have charge of the music department of the State summer school at Win- throp College. The number of farmers in the city yesterday was evidence that the ground was too wet to plow. They were in a bright cheerful mood and dilating on tne good effects of the rain on the different plants. All say the wheat crop is line. The light lingered gentry is report ed to have done an encouraging busi ness at the Charlotte celebration and included among their victims, that we have heard of, one citizen of Gaffney and one who lives near by in the county. Wednesday morning clouds began to gather and give signs of an ap proaching rain and bj the middle of the afternoon it was falling gently and continued until late in the night. Rain has fallen in abundance for the present and it will be of untold bene- iit to growing crops and to such as have not come up yet. School Teachers Klcctcd. At a meeting of the school trustees last Monday night the following teachers for the Graded Schools for the next term were elected : Superintendent, Capt. R. O. Sams; School No. 1—Principal, Prof. W.

State Superintendent of Education McMahan, lias appointed Prof. S. A. Chambers, Principal of the Gaffney High School, as one of the teachers of the summer school at Bennctsville. The Bennetsville people are fortunate in getting Prof. Chambers. He is both worthy and competent Notice tit Dciuoenitlc t lclis AH Democratic clubs that have elected their respective Executive Committeemen will please report their names to the undesigned secre tary and treasurer, and those clubs that have not elected their com mitteemen .will please do so at on'cc, ami report.

C Davis, died nt her home in this city on the 22nd instant, after only a few days of illness, and was buried in the family lot in Limestone ceme tery on the 23rd., in the presence of her many sorrowing relatives and friends. Mrs. Davis was one of our best women. She was a consistent mem ber of the First Baptist church whose every day life bore evidence t of her piety.

The funeral services were con ducted in the Presbyterian church by Rev. B. P. Robertson, assisted by Rev. G. E. Robertson. The pall bearers were Dr. (’. T. Lipscomb, Elmore Leniaster, Dr. J. F.

Not only by the faculty and pupils of the college but more especially by the who expect to visit the that occasion and again meet the friend.-' of their school days in the old halls of their alma mater, now greatly changed and beautified, and stroll over the beautiful campus and avenues where once years, years ago, they were wont to romp and play.

Few realize what a deep-seated, obstinate disease Catarrh is, regarding it as a simple inflammation ©f the nose and throat, little or no attention is given it. Hut, however insignificant it may seem at first, it is serious and far-reaching in its results. The foul secretions entering the circulation poison the entire system. The stomach, kidneys—in fact all the organs — feel the effect of this catarrhal poison, and when the lungs arc reached its progress is rapid and destructive, and finally ends in consumption. It frequently happens that the senses of hearing and smell an- in part or entirely lost, the soft hones of gwy /iOSf. jji fbe nose eaten into and destroyed, causing intense suffering and greatly disfiguring the face. While sprays, ViPt f washes and salves may give temporary relief, no permanent benefit can be expected from such treatment. COTAftei IS A OK B1000 DISEASE, and far beyond the reach of mere local remedies. Those who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disap pointment and allow the disease to take firmer hold. Only areal blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease. S. S. S cures Catarrh because it first cleanses and builds up the blood, purines it, makes it rich and healthy, stimulates and puts new life into the sluggish worn-out organs, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous accumulations. Mrs. Josephine i'oliiill, of Due West, S. C., wiites: “ I h.id CutiYrrl. which became so ffetp- rer.teil thiU I was entirely deaf in one ear, raid all inside of mv no ■■. in lading ©art of the r.om- :louj»hed off.

S. is made of roots, herbs aud harks of wonderful tonical and purifying properties, il is the only vegetable blood purifier known, and a certain and safe cure for all blood troubles.
