A young lady in the city came in our office Wednesday and subscribed fifty cents to the India fund and the same amount for the Galveston suf ferers, which is the first we have re ceived for the latter purpose. She was so modest that she desired her name withheld and for that reason we do not give it, yet we would like for every one to know who she is. She gave only because she had a heart that felt for another’s woes, and not that she might gain the praise of the public or see her name in print. Other places are responding to the calls for help for those who suffer from the terrible effects of the storm in Texas, and our people should do likewise, and liberally, because this section of the country is never visit ed by the misfortunes that befall our fellow-beings in other parts of tills broad lurid, anu we never know, from experience, what it is to want for something to eat and wear. Provi dence has seen lit to lay waste to these towns in Tcx.ls and lo destroy tha property and all means of sus tenance of the people w ho once had plenty and lived in happy homes, they are now homeless, and thou sands of them without even the nec essaries of life; many of their loved ones have been snatched from them in almost the twinaling of an eye, and no pen can paint in lilting colors the picture of sorrow, suffering and desolation that hangs over the ruins of Galveston and the other ill-fated towns that lay in the pathway of the storm. Thousands must be supported for weeks, and perhaps months, for the storm and destruction of life will he followed by a pestilence of malignant fever, and perhaps other diseases; and though thousands of dollars and all kinds of supplies have been sent to the suffering people, and are being sent daily, nothing like the amount necessary for their relief has been subscribed. “Do unto others as you would have them do to you;” compare your con dition with that of the wretched creatures in Texas who are suffering both mental and bodily agonies and theu give liberally of whatever you may have—either money, food or clothing. You cannot, of course, do much towards relieving the mental sufferings, but you can do a great deal towards clothing nakedness and satisfying the pangs of hunger. Anything you wish to give to this worthy cause may be left at The Ledger office and it will be forwarded to the proper authorities without de lay. The Gaffney Malls.

Wilkins, Die cash dry goods man, has just returned Iron the north where lie has spent more than two weeks, buying his fall stock. It is unnecessary to say anything in uraise of this concern us it is well known that they always keep in the front rank. What we do want to eay is in re gard to the cash way of doing busi ness. It is plain to every buyer of goods, that his money goes farther in buying goods jjhan anyone's credit Credit is good in its way and is fine to have, hut when you go to buy jour goods pay the cash and you will find that a house that sells only for cush can give you closer prices. In other words, give you the same goods for less money or better goods for the same money.. Laiu'aitttir-SiuUh. [Gastonia NewX] Sunday night at Cupt. 11.

Activity on the New York Cotton Ex change—Neill Comes to tho Front. 1 [Dun's Review of Saturday.1 Almost a panic nas occurred at tbe New York Exchange'during the past week. Speculators on the short side were buried by tbe Galveston disas ter as deeply as the thousands who were within closer proximity. It was a season of activity such as never hafore was even approximated. Ag gregate sales were placed at a million and a quarter bales on the busiest day, but all days this week exceeded all previous records. Dullness at tbe Slock Exchange caused much out side interest, and many persons were buying at commission houses who never traded in this commodity before. Tho fact that foreign spin dles were idle failed to receive any attention, and no one cared whether England was buying cotton in Japan or not. A soul hern mill using Egyptian cotton did not disturb the confidence in values, and ttiere was little thought of anything beyond se curing some month’s contract at any price. It became a market in which caution was ridiculed. Lower esti mates of tho damage in Texas failed to check the enthusiasm. Exports in August were the smallest in quan tity since July, 1898, hut averaged 9.7 cents a pound, which made the value $5,242 108, against $8,015 975 last year, at an average of 0 2 per pound. On September 7th, 89 320 hales had come into siuht, against 170.875 last year, and 112 218 in 1898 Port re ceipts this wiek were 88 307 bales, against 108,219 two years ago. Tun ings by non hen spinners to Septem ber 7th, were 9,001 hales against 10, 194 lust year, and 12.522 in 1898. Mr. Neill has appeared with a max imum estimate of 9,750 000 bales, and predicts that stocks next Septem ber will be 250 000, bales less than at the beginning of the crop year. If his figures are not nearer right than they were last year this authority will lose the great following he has in the Liverpool market. Me esti mates the decrease in consumption at 1,220 000 bales, which seems con servative considering the present price and number of mills idle. Gold Medal Awarded, T. W.

COIffMKMIS BLOOD POISON Contagious Blood Mrs.T.W. Lee, Mont gomery, Ala. writes: ‘‘Several years ago I was inoculated with poison by a diseased nurse, who infected my bahy, and for six long vears I snffeied untold misery. My body was eovei ed with so:e’s and ulcers. Sev eral physicians treate<l me, but all to no pur pose. The mercury and potash they gave me seemed to add fuel to the awful flame which w ;s devouring me. Friends advised me to try i>. S. S. 1 btg i n tak ing it and improved from the start, and a complete and perfect cure w as the result." Poison is the most degrading and destructive of all diseases, as it vitiates and corrupts the entire system. The first sore or ulcer is followed by little red pimples on the body, mouth and throat liecoine sore, the glands enlarge and inflame, copper colored splotches ap])car, and hair and eyebrows fall out. These are some of the milder symptoms; they increase in severity, finally attacking the vital organs ; the body is person handling the same articles , ,— v with the virus. It can l>e transmitted from parent to child, appearing as the same disease or in a modified form — like Eczema or Scrofula. Many an old sore or stubborn skin trouble appearing in middle life, is due and traceable to blood poison contracted in early life. You may liave taken potash and mercury faithfully for two or three year* and thought you were cured, but you were not, for these poisonous minerals never cure this disease ; they drive it from the outside, but it is doing its work on the inside, and will show up again sooner or later. You may not recognize it as the same old taint, but it is. S. S. S. has cured thousands of cases of Contagious Blood Poison, and it will cure you. It is the only purely vegetable blood purifier known, and the only antidote for this poison. S. S. S. cleanses the blood thoroughly of every particle of the poison — there is never any return of the disease. 4*11111* S' ftTT -Send for our Home Treatment book, ■ vSJImoLLb fli B EhwIllLe gives , a history of the disease in all , . , stages, and is the result of many years of close study of blood poison and actual experience in treat ing it.
