Money to loan on approved security. Notice. The Writer State. His Position on the 1’ro- posrd Issue. Mk. Editor;—Kindly allow me through the columns of The Ledge' to state a few facts iu regard to the proposed issue of bonds for water and electric lights. Some weeks ago I had published in The Ledger a statement of tjie cost of water and lights to consumers iu comparison with what the citizens of Spartanburg and Union have to pay, and from their own figures. Ours, at the present rate of charges, is much lower. I also advised the further issue of bonds to put the enterprise in a safer and better condition, etc. 1 have been connected with the town council in one capacity and an other for many years. I have also been in close touch with the board of public works ever since the election of the first board, and have consult ed with them and advised always for what I conceived was for the best in terests of our citizens as a whole. I have neglected my personal bus iness, greatly to my detriment, in many instances, to give my services to our people in helping to upbuild and establish enterprises here that have been the very life of our town, and no man can say, truthfully, that I had a sordid or selfish motive in so doing, more than for the general prosperity of the whole town. It lias always been my desire to have our town prosper and I have worked faithfully to assist her in every ellort to that end. I belong to no ring or clique, and thank God! I am not so hide bound and selfish as to refuse to ex tend unto others the same conven iences and comforts that I have ex tended to me. I am no politician or trickster. I have been honored by my friends, unsolicited, in many in stances, by electing me as a member of the town council, and I have, hon estly and openly, endeavored to do ray duty as I thought best for us ail. Nor would I advise or sanction any act that, in my judgment, 1 believed would be detrimental to my town or people. 1 have no axe to grind. I desire no office, whatever. Nor am I interested iu the election of any man for any office, to the extent that I would stultify myself or betray my oeople for my own, or any man's personal aspirations or benefit. 1 think the best people in Gaffney will agree with me in this; they ail know me. and my actions in the past as a public officer, have not been hidden. I contend that it is best for our town to issue bonds enough to pul our waterworks and electric lights in better condition, and that it will not increase our taxes one cent, and I honestly believe within two years from today our taxes will be reduced to six mills, or less, caused by the over-earning of the system. Noone who lias studied the history of such enterprises expects them to pay expenses for a year or two, much less have a surplus. Is it sound sense to hamper and try to break down an enterprise in which w’e all are so well interested and when eo much has been invested? 1 do cot believe any man can show any sensi ble reason for opposing the increase issue of bonds under existing circum stances. The question is before the people of the town. If they desire to take a long step backward, it is in their hands to do so; and be the cocse- quences whatever they may I, us an humble citizen, can bear my part in the town’s adversity.

Hickory Grove liuppeuiuK*. 'orrespondence of The Ledger.) Hickory Grove, August 21.—We people have not been sleeping because we have been silent for a short time, but are moving on at business all the same. The new drug store owned by Dr. Leach and Mr. B. F. Scoggins is com pleted and the fresh coat of oil in the interior adds materially to its attrac tive appearance. We have a fine mineral spring six miles from this place. The water has been analyzed by physicians and they say it contains fine medical properties. The proprietors will have the spring in better condition next summer. Mr. Robt. Gilfilling is erecting u tan yard about three miles from this place. The candidates had a speaking at this place yesterday and the day passed off very pleasantly. They were assigned to private houses for dinner.

Yes, Aunust Flower still bus the largest sale of any medicine iu the civilized world. Your mothers’ and grandmothers’ never thought of using anything else for Indigestion or Bil iousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostration, Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system and stop fer mentation of undigested food, regu late the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You only nead a few doses of Green’s August Flower, in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. For sale by B. B. Crawley <fc Co. A Severe Storm I’aaxed Over Gaffney W’eit- nesilay Doing Great Damage. A severe wind and rain storm pass ed over our city Wednesday after noon, and in some places it was ac companied by bail. Fences were blown down, trees uprooted, corn and cotton were badly damaged and in one or two instances houses were wrecked. Telephone wires were torn down and tangled up, and what communication could bo hud at all yesterday was very unsatisfactory. J. C. Coyle, who lives just above town, had his barti and stables un roofed. There was a mule in the sta ble at the time, but, strange to say, it escaped injury; though some of the timbers fell upon a large hog that had taken refuge behind ti e building and injured it to some extent. A dwelling house belonging to Sum Robinson, a colored drayman here, was blown down, but fortunately no one was in it at the time. During the storm engineer Miller at the roller mill was struck by light ning and completely paralyzed in both legs. The lightning ran down a wire that runs from the top of the smokestack to the ground near the engine and it is supposed that Mr. Miller Was standing over this wire when he was struck. It was a deplo rable accident and much to be re gretted. At last account the unfort unate man was no better. W’e have not heard, us yet, of the damage in other places in the county, but it must have been great. Mr. SapovD YindU-att-il.

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, who lias suffered for years wit!* Diabetes, wit!* all its different attendants, that 1 want to add my testimonal to the many you already have. The patient I refer to has used the water freely at home for scarcely a month now, wit!* more beneficial results than from months spent at different lithia springs in different parts of the United States, besides long continued us*' of the same waters at home. Other of my patients and friends are now using the same with best results. 1 cordially recommend it to all suff ering from similar diseases. Very respectfully yours, Thomas S. Foweee, M. D. . Pres. Southern Medical College, Atlanta, Ga, Asiievieee, N. G\, April J4. 1*93.—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 Phosphatic Urine, its action is marvelous. Its use in the Rheumatic and Gouty diseases afford me more comfort than either the Buffalo or Londonderry Waters. Very truly yours, John Hey Wieeiam, M. 1). “The Harris Lithia Water is, iu my opinion, unexcelled for tiiose uilm-nts requiring the salts it contains. “Theo. Lamb, M.
