The Growth of My Business A Favorite Style. lias been remarkable. From a small stock which I was almost J \ \ ashamed to open up and call a shoo store, 1 have advanced until now there is hardly a more com plete shoe store to he found in the up-country. True, it is not so large as others, hut it is a com plete stock, embracing everything from the cheap brogan to the tinest patent leather. I have recently Other Styles, enlarged my store and put in additional goods and it is my pur pose to build up a good shoo business on merit. THAT THIS TRADC?%r ,AR K IS BRANDED ON EVERY SHOE. 59 A Shoe fliat Fits is one of the greatest comforts you can indulge in. T can fit you and the whole family with shoes that are dressy, stylish and serviceable at prices that are commensurate with the goods. 1 am not going to tell you 1 can do it for less than anybody else, because I cannot, but I will give you as good bargains as anybody. I can’t live and sell goods at and below cost, and I am not going to deceive you by telling you so simply to get your trade. It may be that some time I may sell a few odds and ends at cost simply to gei rid of them and make room for other goods, but when I do 1 will advertise them and tell you the truth. There is no sense in sending out of town and paying the ex press on a pair of shoes that I can sell for $1.00 or $1.50 less than you pay for it in larger cities. Keep your money at home and help build up a a home business and save something for yourself at the same time. I want your shoe business, and in order to get it I propose to giv>* you the best goods for the least money. John W. Bridges, THE SHOE MAN. is a Scorcher!

Local News from Town and Country TOO SHORT FOR A HEAD Hut None Too Short to Mention, Hence They Are liolled Down For Quick Head ing by Busy Ledger I’ntrons Who Are Dressed for Time. The friends of Mrs. T. E. Gaffney will regret to learn that she is quite sick at her home on Limestone street. Mr.D. P. Sides hashed his resi dence newly painted and it is quite an improvement^to the northern part of our city. Grand Lodge, No. 18G, A. F. M., will confer the Master’s degree at a special meeting to be held Saturday night, August 18th. J. C. Riddle, of Cherokee Falls, has accepted a position in the tonsorial parlors of Mr. H. C. Kno-. where he will be glad to “dress up” I.is friends in the latest style. Mrs. Dora Hopper has moved back to her residence on Jefferies street and will occupy it for the present. Mr. McWhirter has moved into the Lipscomb house, just across the street. The campaign meeting yesterday was held at Maud. Today it is being held at Grassy Pond, Next week will wind it up. The boys will cross the Broad and give the dear people a little amusement. Mr. and Mrs. St. John Butler are rejoicing over the arrival at their home of a brilliant little heir. St. John is perhaps the proudest man in the city. The Ledger bids the little strange welcome and wishes for him long life and prosperity. The pay days of our mills invaria bly bring a crowd of agents of every description to Gaffney. There are now quite a number of them here— picture agents, book agents, machine agents, aud various other kinds of agents and collectors—and all seem to he doing a thriving business. The city is being billed for an ex cursion that will run from here to Marion, N. C., on September 13th. This will be an excellent chance to visit Western North Carolina. Marion is at the foot of the “hill country” and it will be pleasant to spend a day there in the first fall month of the year. The Gommerclal Hotel Is a popular piace for the young men in the city. Among those who are now stopping with Mr. Harris are: Julian and Robert Lipscomb. Tom Brown, Tom Clarkson. Jones J. Darby, Mr, and Mrs. Julian N. Lipscomb, Russell Sparks, Rochelle Rodgers, Henry Phillips, M. Poliakoff, T. H. Westrop and Dr. J. D. Timmons. An excursion train passed through here Wednesday morning en route from Charlotte to Asheville, N. C. It carried five passenger coaches, three for colored and two for white, and a refreshment car. It seemed to be pretty well loaded with human freight, and several of our people took advantage of the low rates and the gay crowd and went to Asheville on it. Ffititlon* Being Circulated. Petitions are being circulated to obtain f be signatures of a majority of the freehold voters of the city asking the city council to call an election on the question of issuing $4 000 addltloaal water works bonds and $11,000 additional electric light bonds. It is assential for the pro gress and prosperity of Gaffney that this bond issue be made. It will euable the authorities to extend an inadequate electric light system and an inadequate water works system. The issuance of these bonds cannot increase taxes for the aimple reason that we are now taxed to the full limit of the law. There Is talk of increased taxes but the taxes cannot he made larger until there is a change in the charter. That cannot he changed unless a majority of the people say so. It will be timo enough to cross that bridge when we get to it. Let wisdom prevail and let us turn a money losing enterprise Into a paying on« hy making it adequate. (jafTiiey*, HRioe Store. Our popular shoemau, John W. Bridges, has one of the nicest store rooms in the city, and in it a stock of shoes that for neatness, elegance and durability has no superior in this or any other state. He has every necessary convenience In the way of office furniture, shelves, counters and other things that sn imaginative brain could invent, and every ar rangement pertaining to a stylish appearance that a tasteful eye could conceive. And, what is of more interest to the buying public, his shoes are the host that money could buy and are sold at the most reason able prices consistent with their quality. A MlnlMter’s tiuod Work. “I had a severe attack of bilious colic, got a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic,Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two doses i^nd wax entirely cured,” says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan. “My neighbor across the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. J went over to see him the next morn- ine. He said his bowels were in a ter rible fix. that they hud been running off so long that It was almost bloody flux. I asked him if h« had tried Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, ‘No.’ I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take unoUipr dose in fifteen or twenty minutes if he did not find re lief, but he took no more ood wus en tirely cured,” For sale by Cheroke* Drug Co. The New Boiler Mill. T. I. Walker has compleied his new roller mill and began operation yesterday afternoon. This industry fills a long felt want in Gaffney, and it will bo a great convenience to far mers throughout Cherokee county, as well as in some portions of adjoin ing counties. The mill has a capac ity of sixty-five barrels a day; it is filled up with all the latest and most improved machinery and we doubt if there is a finer plant of the kind in this section of the country. Mr. Walker says that he bought it to oe the next best in the .State, but that he does not think a finer or more up- to date one can he constructed. However, the mill is line enough for the purposes for which it will be used and Mr. Walker is just the man to have charge of it. A Correction. In a communication to this paper from Etta Jane, dated August 1, Mr. Strain made two errors in reporting the funeral of Mrs. Hamrick. He wrote the name “Mrs. Y^ictoria Ham rick,” when it should have been “Mrs. Kturah Humrick.” He also states that Mrs. Hamrick was a Miss Homes, when it should have been a Miss Hames. This latter error was doubtless ours. Mrs. Hamrick was a sister of Mr. John Hames, of this city. Doch It Fay to Buy Cheap? A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want some thing that will relieve and cure the most severe and dangerous results of throat and lung troubles. What shall you do? Go to a warmer and more regular climate’ Yes, if possi ble; if not possible for you, then in either case take the only remedy that has been introduced in all civilized countries with success in severe throat and lung troubles, “Boschee’s German Syrup.” It not only heals and stimulates the tissues to destroy the germ disease, but allays inflam mation, causes easy expectoration, gives a good night’s rest, and cures the patient.

For Ladies and Gentlemen RHEUMATISM Is due to an acid poison which gains access to the blood through failure of the proper organs to carry off am’ keep the system clear of nil morbid, effete matter. This poison Distorts Muscles. Shatters Nerves, Stiffens Joints. i through the general circulation is deposited in the joints, muscles and nerves, causing the most intense pain. Rheumatism may attack with such suddenness and severity as to make within a few days a healthy, active person helpless and bed-ridden, with distorted limbs and shattered nerves; or it may lie slow in developing, with slight wandering pains, just severe enough to make one feel uncomfortable ; the ten dency in such cases is to grow worse, and finally liecome chronic. I food, in early * fXritVd" Rheumatism is Strictiy a Biood Disease, and no liniment or other external treatment can reach the trouble. Neither do the preparations of potash and mercury, and the various mineral salts, which the doctors always prescribe, cure Rheumatism, but miu the digestion and break down the constitution. A remedy which builds up the general health and at the same time rids the system of the poison the only safe and certain cure for Rheumatism. S. S. S., made of roots, iierbs and barks of wonderful solvent, purifying properties, attacks the disease in the right way, and in the right place —the blood — and quickly neutralizes the acid and dissolves all poisonous deposits, stimulates and reinforces the overworked, worn-out organs, ana clears the system of all unhealthy accumulations. S. S. S. cures permanently and thoroughly, and keeps tile blood in a pure, healthy state. Mr. J. O. Malley, 123 W. 15th Street. Indianapolis, Itwl., for eighteen months was so terriblv afflicted with Klieiunatisin he was unable to feed or dress himself. Doctors said his case was hopeless’ He had tried fifty-two prescriptions that friends had given him, without the slightest relief. A few bottles of R S S. cured him permanently, and he has never had a rheumatic pain since. This was five years ago. • We will send free our special itook on Rheumatism, which should be iu the hands of every sufferer from this torturing disease.
