HATS! HATS! HATS!
We buy our hats direct from the manufacturers, and we buy them as cheap as the houses
do who send out drummers to sell other merchants. This is why we sell hats so much cheaper
than other stores, and why we have just broken the record by selling forty in one day.

A BATTLE AT COWPENS.
AN EXPERT WITNESS.
The Moflt Intcreoting C»»e on the Civil
ll€M-ket--J. I.. 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. "1 thought I should
surely die, and tried a do/en different
medicines but all to no purpose. I
sent for u bottle of Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Itemedy
and three doxes relieved me entirely."

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.

Sores and Ulcers
DRAIN THE
SYSTEM,
ENDANGER
LIFE.
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.
A person’s capacity for work or pleasure is soon lost in the great desire and search for something to cure.
S. S. S. makes a rapid and permanent cure of old sores and ulcers, and is the only medicine that
^ ocs ’ 1,eca, se no other cau reach deep-seated blood troubles. Ordinary Sarsaparilla and potash mixtures
gC'4' x are to ° weak and watery to overcome a deadly poisou that has taken possession of the blood. Do not
waste valuable time experimenting with them.
a . “ Some . year* ago I was shot in the left leg, receiving what I considered only a slight wound, /t
#■ uursmnvw. developed into a running sore and save me a great deal of pain. I was treated bv many doctors, and

»S. S. S. is the only purely vegetable blood purifier known ;
is made of roots and herbs of wonderful purifying properties,
which no poison can resist. S. S. 8. quickly aud effectually
clears the blood of all morbid, unhealthy humors, and the old, troublesome sore heals.
At the same time the general health is invigorated and built up. When a little scratch
or hurt fails to bexl readily, you may be sure your blood is bad. S. S. S. will soon
put it in orde- aud keep it so.
Our Medical Department is in charge of experienced physicians, who have made
blood diseases a life study. If you will write them about your case, they will gladly
