AN OLD LAND
MARK IS GONE.
’Squire H. G. Gaffney Passes
Away in His 85th Year.
LAST OF HIS FAMILY.
1I« Whh One of the Pioneers of This Sec
tion and a Familiar Figure In Gaffney—
Uls Karthly Pilgrimage Ended In Peace.
Funeral and Uurlal.
’Squire Gaffney is dead. The last
day of bis earthly pilgrimage has
closed and the end was peace. The
old oak that has weathered the tem
pests for years and withstood the
storms of time has at last fallen, and
the monarch of the forest is^no more.
Henry G. Gaffney was born on Feb.
2, 1816. and was therefore in hie
eighty-fifth year. He was a son of
Michael Gaffney, one of the pioneer
settlers of this part of the country
and was one of a family of ten or
twelve children. It is said that in
AN INNOVATION.
The Gaffney Manufacturing Company to
Abandon. The Check Syatem.
The Gaffney Manufacturing Com-
)any has decided to abandon the
check system. Beginning on the
26th, next Saturday, they will paj
off twice a month in cash and will
hereafter isaue no checks. The pay
days will be the 10th and 25th of
each month. This is the old system
that was in vogue before the check
system was adopted. It has been
str.ted that the company would,
dispose of the mercimntile stock on
hand and discontinue the business.
This, however is not true. The store
will be continued, but at tlie same
time the operatives are to be paid in
cash and they can use their own
discretion as to where they will trade.
Of course they will be expected to
trade with the company store in pre
ference to other stores, all things
being equal. And there can certainly
bo no objection to that. That puls
the company in strict competition
with other merchants and gives them
no advantage whatever. Unless they
sell just as cheap as anybody else
they cannot expect the trade of the
operatives.

his youth he was very feeble, and
that he was not expected to ever
reach manhood’s estate; but he out
lived tbe others of his family and in
his death the last scion of that great
branch of the Gaffney family was re
moved from the scenes of this world.
It might be said that he was tbe
father of Gaffney, and no fond mother
ever watched her children with more
interest than did he watch the
growth and prosperity of this city.
He was a public-spirited man in
every sense of the word, and nothing
seemed to please and delight him so
much as the rapid progress Gaffney
has made during the last few years.
He, too, seemed to be specially in
terested in the welfare of this news
paper, and for that reason we had a
warmer spot in our heart for him
than we would probably have bad
otherwise. 'Yet be was loved and es
teemed by every one here, both old
and young; not so much for his good
deeds nor his deep interest in the
affairs of the place, but for his own
personal worth—for bis kindness and
magnanimity to those in distress and
for the many other sterling qualities
that be possessed, which it is needless
for us to name.
For many years 'Squire Gaffney
was a familiar figure on our streets;
but for the last year or two he was
too feeble to come out. It is hardly
known just when the illness began
which resulted in his death, as it
was a gradual giving away of the
vital powers that bad upheld him so
long.
He bad fulfilled the purposes of
bis Maker and the bidden law began
to fail to compensate the powers that
were wasted; the tone of the thous
and strings began to lose its fullness
and its power and to grow weaker
and weaker until at last it died
away and the music was hushed for
ever. The end came at 9:25 o’clock
Friday night, while bis surviving
children watched beside his bed, and
it was as though he were merely
going to sleep, so peacefully and
so quietly did he pass away. He
had a family of eleven children,
seven of whom are still living: Mrs.
A. V. Montgomery, Mrs. J. A. Nance.
Mrs. R. R. WUkins, Mrs J. E. Gaines.
Mrs. W. L. Johnson, J. J. Gaffney
and H. M. Gaffney, of this city, and
Mrs. R. A. Robertson, of Spartan*
>urg.
in the death of Mr. Gaffney this
place has lost its oldest and most fa
miliar landmark as well as a noble
citizen, We fain would have kept
him with us; but he had run the race
that was set before him and had
reached the goal, and it was meet
that he should go to bis reward.
The funeral took place from the
First Baptist church Sunday morn
ing at 9 :*J0 o’clock. The church was
well filled with tbe friends of the de
ceased. No other man in this sec
tion has ever had auch a large con
course of selfttjves to pay homage to
their memory. Tiff* ik accounted
for from the fact that Mr. Gaffney
was one of the pioneers of this sec
tion. He was an old landmark and
few of the Gaffney generation ever
moved far from their native heath.
The connection is undoubtedly
greater than that of any other family
in this section of the country. After
the bier bad been placed in front of
the pulpit fcbp choir sang “O Bear
Me Away on Your fewowy Wings”—
a favorite hymn of the deceased.
Rev. C. E. Robertson read the 28rd
Psalm, a favorite piece of Scripture
with the deceased. Mr. Robertson
then related ao.me incidents In con
nection with Mr. Gaffney’s life,
quoting passages from the eighth
chapter of Romans, also a favorite
passage of scripture with the de
ceased. Rev. W. If. Hodges then
paid a tribute to the decp+»od *
Christian citizen. The oholr aang
“Let Us Pass Over the River and
Rest Under the Itkade of the Tree,”
after which Prof. R. O. tta^a paid a
tribute to his friend an a deacon and
brother. Rev. B, p. Robertson then
read a verse from the 5th chapter of
Job, the same verse that bad been
used in the funeral service of the fa
ther of the deeeaeed. Ur, Robertson
chose this verse for tbe theme of bis
remarks and paid a tribute to Mr.
Gaffney’s manly Christian character.
The choir sang “There ia jhlfe in the
Cottage" aa the remains were con
veyed to tbe hearse. The funeral
services were coneludrd at Oakland
cemetery, vbera the remains were
laid to rest.
The pall bearers were the following
young gentleman—all grandsons of
Mr. Gaffney: P. V. Gaffney, D. M.
Gaines, Earnest Nance, William
Johnson, T. Roland Gaines and
Claude Gaffney.
Th<’ Itour of a Itattle.
The roar of the navy's four-point-
seveu’s, their crash, their rush as they
passed, the shrill whine of the sharp-
uel, the barking of the howitzers, and
the mechanical, regular rattle of the
quick-firing Maxims, which sounded
like the clicking of many mowing ma
chines on a hot summer’s day, tore
the air with such hideous noises that
one’s skull ached from the concus-
ion, and one could only be heard by
shouting. But more impressive by
far than this hot chorus of mighty
thunder and petty hammering was
the roar of the wind which was driven
down into the valley beneath, and
which swept up again in enormous
waves of sound. It roared like a
great hurricane at sea. The illusion
was so complete that you expected, by
lookingidown, to see the Tugela lash
ing at her banks, tossing the spray
hundreds of feet in the air, and bat
tling with her sides of rock. It was
like the roar of Niagara in a gale, and
yet when you did look below not a
leaf was stirring, and the Tugela was
slipping forward, flat and sluggish,
and in peace.—Richard Hardirg
Davis, in Scribner's.
A Baby’s
Birth
is very much like the blossom
ing of a flower. Its beauty and
perfection depends entirely
upon the care bestowed upon
Its parent. Expectant mothers
should have the tenderest care.
They should be spared all worry
and anxiety. They should eat
plenty of good nourishing food
and take gentle exercises. This
will go a long way toward preserv
ing their health and their beauty
as well as that of the little one to
come. But to be absolutely sure
of a short and painless labor they
should use
Mother’s
Friend
regularly during ttir months of gesta
tion. Tnis is a simple liniment, which
is to be applied cxternHlly. It gives
t>tt'ecig>b vigor to the muscles and
prevents all or the discu'iifnrtg pf preg
nancy, which women used to think
were absolutely necessary. When
Mother's Friend is used there is no
dHnger whatever.

What They Say About.. ..
Harris Lithia Water:
Mr. J. T. Harris;
Dear Sir—I have found the use of the water
from your Lithia Spring in South Carolina so
efficacious in the case of a young lady pa
tient of mine, wiio lias suffered for years with
Diabetes, with all its different attendants,
that I want to add my testimonal to the
many you already have. The patient I refer
to lias used the water freely at home for
scarcely a month now, with more beneficial
results than from months spent at different
lithia springs in different parts of the United
States, besides long continued use of the
same waters at home. Other of my patients
and friends are now using tlie same with best
results. I cordially recommend it to all suff
ering from similar diseases.
Very respectfully yours,
Thomas S. Powell, M. D.
Pres. Southern Medical College,
Atlanta, Ga,
“The Harris Lithia Water is, in my opinion,
unexcelled for those ailments requiring the
salts it contains.

“Professor Diseases of Chest and Principal
of Medicine, Medical Department, Univer
sity of Georgia.”
Asheville, N. g\, April 21. 1K!0.-An ex
tended clinical use of the Harris Lithia Wa
ter prompts me to the statement that I re
gard it as one of the best, if not the best,
Lithia Water known to the profession. In the
condition of Phosphatlu Urine, its action is
marvelous. Its use in the Rheumatic and
Gouty diseases afford mo more comfort than
cither the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters.
Very truly yours,
John Hey William, M. D.

J. T. Harris, Esq., Harris Spring*, S. C:
Dear Sir—I tiave been using Harris Lithia
Water for some time, and 1 will say to you
that it is my opinion that the Harris Lithia
Water is by far the best Lithia Water that t
have ever used, and that it has done me a
great, deal of good, and I think it a most val
uable remedy.
