I’erry AUo Sue* the Mill- Two Other C»*e* Engaged the Attention of the Court. In the Court of General Sessions the case of Gaily Perry vs. the Gaff ney Carpet Manufacturing Company has been the one of absorbing inter est. The court room has been pretty well filled with a crowd that was eager to get every detail in the case. A large number of witnesses were ex amined on both sides. The most in teresting witness was Prof. J. D. Hird, professor of chemistry for the city of Washington. Prof. Hird en tered into an elaborate explanation of causes that produced certain odors that arise from streams because of decaying vegetation and the effects of certain anoline dyes upon animal and vegetable, life. He most posi tively declared that there was no substance used in the dye vats of the Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing Com pany that would produce the odors that arose from a sample of mud or sand that was placed in evidence which came from the branch former ly used by the Gaffney Carpet Manu facturing Company to carry off its waste water from the vats. Prof. Hird also testified that the dyes con tained certain properties that were beneficial to health, instead of detri mental, as they were properties and drugs that were usually kept in drug stores and prescribed by physicians every day, and he furthermore said that there could not positively arise any bad effects from anything used in the dyes because it was diluted to such an extent that it could not pos sibly prove detrimental. Other witnesses testified that they had drunk and tasted the water in the different vats and that no evil effects hud arisen from it. Others testified that their stock had drunk from the branch while the water was colored and that there had been no evil effects. The plaintiff asked for damages on the grounds that a stream of water running through bis land had been pointed because the waste from the dye vats had been turned into the stream, thus causing the water and sand to become colored and making it unfit for use. Witnesses for the defendant testified that the discolora tion had no effect on the sand what ever, as it became white after drying out and made just as good mortar for building purposes as if it hud never had any colored water to flow over it. J. C. Jefferies conducted the exami nation for the defense, and be did it well, leaving no stone unturned to bring out the weak points of the opposition and the strong points for his side. Mr. JeiT-ries was assisted by Messrs. T. B. Butler, of this city, and H. J. Hayneswortb, of Greenville. Argument was com menced Friday afternoon,when Mess Jefferies and Butler spoke for the defendant, and Mr. W. H. Hall for the plaintiff. These gentlemen pre sented their respective sides in the strongest possible light. Wednesday morning Mr. Hayneswortb spoke for tho defendant. His presentation was quiet and unassuming, thorough and | logical. Mr. Handers closed for the plaintiff He made a brilliant effort, presenting his side in the most logi cal manner possible, taking care to refer to The Ledger because it had seen fit as a public journal to say something in regard to the case, uod intimated that a newspaper had no right to express its regrets that such suits should arise. He was not severe in his criticism, but said he thought it unfair to attempt in this wise to bias the public mind. Judge Kiugh's charge was not very exhaustive. He charged on every count the plaintiffs asked but re fused to charge on several counts the defendant’s council requested. The case was given to the jury about 12 o’clock and it was ne-urly midnight when they announced that it was im possible to agree. It is understood that it stood eleven to one for a ver dict in favor of the carpet mill. A mistrial was ordared by the judge. Wednesday afternoon the case of Duncan & Handers vs. 1. M. Hmith and J. M. Daniels, suit on account, was tried. The plaintiff was repre sented by Butler & Osborne and the defendant by J. C. Jefferies. Mr. Jefferies withdrew his answer and the jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiffs for the full amount sued for, .tlOo Wednesday night the case of W. C. Carpenter vs. Luke Corry, et. al., was tried. This was a suit in equity. Butler <fc Osborne and J. L. Webster represented Mr. Carpenter and Mr. J. C. Jefferies represented the oilier side. Mr. Jefferies demurred to the complaint. The Judge overruled the demurrer and reserved his decision. The case of J. L. Ferry vs. The Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing Com pany was called yesterday morning and lasted the entire day. In this suit Mr. Terry claims damages for the polutlng of a spring on his prem ises caused by the dye stuff of the carpet mill being emptied into a branch Into which the spring empties. It is very much the same kind of a suit that Mr. Daily Terry is pressing. Mr. Terry is represented by J. if. Bell, and the Carpet Mill by Messrs. Jefferies, Butler and Huynesworth. "For three days and nights 1 suf fered agony untold from an attack of cholera morbus brought on by eating cucumbers," says M ( K. Lowther, clerk of the district court, Center ville, Iowa.

I sent for u bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Itemedy and three doxes relieved me entirely." This remed is for sale by Cherokee Drug Company. Negro Knfflans Dluturb the Meeting of tlie Tlilrkcty Mountain Aft»oclatlon. There came very near being a seri ous row between the white and black races at Cowpena Sunday; but fortunately it was broken up be fore any one was seriously hurt. The Thickety Mountain Associa tion of the colored Baptists was in session at Cowpens and, as usual, hundreds of colored people from all over the country wero there attend ing the meeting. About 3 o’clock in the afternoon a number of negroes who had been testing the merits and demerits of “80 Proof" and ‘'70,'' began to limber up and prepare for action; and, as a consequence, they were soon engaged in a quarrel, either among themselves, or with outsiders. The policeman at Cowpens, Mr. James Williams, was sent for and he hurried to the seat of war. When he attempted to arrest some of the ring leaders they resisted, and then the battle began in earnest. One negro by the name of Lum Macombson was hit in the shoulder by a bullet ; an other, Ben Macombson. was shot in the leg, and Policeman Williams was hurt by a bullet grazing his head. It was reported by some that Williams was killed, but others said that the report no doubt arose from the fact that he was seen to fall when the bullet struck him. It seems that no one was seriously hurt, owing, we presume, to the bad marksmanship of the ones behind the guns. In addition to the wounds the two negroes received, they were both arrested and carried before the town authorities at Cowpens. One was fined $35.00 and the other con tributed a ten for his share of the proceedings. We knew of this occvrrence on Monday but could not learn the par ticulars in time to write an account of it for Tuesday’s paper. The col ored people from this place who at tended the meeting on Sunday either could not or would not give any in formation on the subject and the tel ephone to Cowpens was out of order; so we were compelled to omit it.

That old aore or ulcer, which has been a aource of pain, worry and anxiety to you for five or ten years —maybe Iongor— doesn’t heal because you are not using the p->per treat ment, but are trying to cure it with salves and washes. While theae are soothing and relieve pain to some extent, no real, permaneut good cau come from their use, because the disease is in the blood and fax beyond the reach of external applications. A sore heals promptly when the blood is in good condition, hut novor if it is diseased. The tendency of these old sores and ulcers is to grow worse, spreading and eating deeper into the flesh. They are n constant drain upon the system, gradually hut surely ruin the health and sap the very life.
