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 sellin? forty in one day.

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, who has 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 has used the water freely at home for
scarcely a month now, with more beneficial
results than from months spent at different
Hilda springs In different parts of the United
Slates, besides long continued use of the
same waters at home. Other of my patients
and friends are now using the same with best
results. I cordially recommend it to all suff
ering from similar diseases.
Very respectfully yours,
Thomas S. Powem,, M. D.
Pres. Southern Medical College,
Atlanta, Ua,
“The Harris Lithia Water Is, In my opinion,
unexcelled for those ailments miulring the
salts it contains.
“Thbo. Lamb, M. D„
“Professor Diseases of Chest and Principal
of Medicine, Medical Department, Univer
sity of Georgia."
Ahhevilmc, N. c., April 24, 1803.—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 Phosphatlc 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 Hiy William, M. D.
Baltimoub. M. D„ Juno24,1896.
J. T. Harris, Esq., Harris Spring, S. 0(
Dear Kir—I have been using Harris Lithia
Water for some time, and I will say to you
that It Is my opinion that the Harris Lithia
Water Is l»y far the best Lithia Water that 1
have ever used, and that It has done mo a
great deal of good, and 1 think It a most val
uable remedy.

teed to cure the worst case of Indigestion if

SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY.
There In no Good Reason Why Yon Khonld
Not Vote For Tho New Itoml Inhiio.
Ah will be Been by reference to an
advertisement in another column un
election will bo held in this city next
Monday for the purpose of deter
mining whether or not additional
bonds to the extent of $15,000 will
be issued for the purpose of improv
ing and extending the water wonts
and electric light plants of Gaffney.
Gaffney is growing rapidly and that
the present water works and electric
light plants are inadequate no one
who is at all acquainted with the
facts will deny. As matters now
stand the electric light plant is
taxed to its utmost capacity and
there are demands for more light.
Tho water works mains are confined
to a narrow compass because of the
lack of funds to extend the mains at
the time the plant was put in. It is
the highth of folly to stop where we
are. With a growing town and an
increased demand for water and
lights we cannot afford to stop. Vote
the bonds and by one stroke advance
the plant to the needs of the town
for some years to come. Certainly
no one can afford to vote against the
bond issue. To demonstrate the fact
that it cannot in any wise effect the
pocketbook of a single individual we
will ask this question: Is there a
man in Gaffney who feels the effects
of the previous bond issues? We do
not believe there is a single individual
who does. Besides, those of us who
have lights and water should be wil
ling to vote for the bond issue to
give lights and water to those who
have them not and yet pay as much
taxes as those who enjoy the benefits.
Vote the bond issue and keep Gaffney
in the front rank of progress.
1’rof. Brown to be Choir MaHter.
The music committee of the First
Baptist church has secured the ser
vices of Mr. Wade R. Brown, director
of the school of music at Limestone
College, as organist and choir master
for this coming year.
A chorus choir as large as the choir
loft will accommodate has been orga
nized and is composed of the follow
ing well known singers:
Sopranos, Misses Minnie Ca.’roll,
Eva Ross and Mrs. W. C. Carpenter;
Altos, Mrs. L. U. Campbell, Mrs.
Virginia Copeland, Miss Annie John
son ; Tenors, Messrs. H. K. Osborne
and Walter Humphries; lassos,
Messrs. Julian Lipscomb, Ishom
Richardson and Wofford Humphries.
It was the desire of the cho r mas
ter that there should be a much
larger choir, as there are many excel
lent voices in the church, but owing
to the limited capacity of the ahoir
loft no more can be seated. \
Mr. Brown is an experienced church
organist and choir conductor and it
is expected that tho music at this
churcb|this coming year shall be an
important feature of each service.
Two Old Friends Meet.
Mr. D, A. Brewton, of near Wood
ruff, in Spartanburg county, was in
the city Saturday visiting Doctors
Crawley and Nesbitt. Mr. Brewton
is an old boyhood friend of Capt.
Griffith’s and they had the pleasure
of meeting each other Saturday and
of talking over ‘’old times,” when
they used to visit Limestone before
the war to get a ‘‘peep” at Dr.
Curtis’ pretty girls.
Capt. Griffith had two sisters in
the college at that time, but Mr.
Brewton was not so fortunate, so he
had to come to see some other fel
low’s sister—if he could. It was a
warm meeting and a warm parting
between these two old friends of
ante-bellum days, and the occasion
no doubt called up many memories
of brighter days which had been ly
ing dormant in their bosoms for forty
long years.
Mr. Brewton's visit was a hurried
one, and he returned to bis home
Sunday morning.
Court CIoNt-H.
The case of J. L. Perry vs. The
Gaffney Carpet Manufacturing Co.,
resulted in a mistrial. We are in
formed that in this case tho jury
stood eleven for the Carpet Mill to
one against it. The jury remained
out until Friday night and all efforts
to reach a verdict proved futile.
There were a number of equity cases
disposed of during the term but none
that will be of particular interest to
the publia.
On account of the amount of time
consumed on the criminal docket and
the two cases against the Carpet
Mill there still remained a large num
ber of cases on the docket undisposed
of. Because of this the members of
the Cherokee bar have petitioned Gov
ernor McSweeney to order a special
term of court to commence the sec
ond Monday in November. It is ex
pected the request will be granted.

A Candy Fulling-
There was an old time candy pull
ing Saturday night at the hospitable
home of Mr. G. F. Browning near the
carpet mill. Aside from the ‘‘pull
ing” dancing to tho strains of good
music and numerous plays were in
dulged in and a general free-and-easy
and jolly good time was the order of
the occasion. Some of our young
lovers of fun attended from the city
as well as some from the cotton mill,
and all who went enjoyed themselves
immensely.
A Fiilnful Accident.
John Scales, who works at Mr.
George Lemaster’s cotton gin, had
the misfortune to have two lingers
of his right hand torn off yesterday
morning. He was working around
tlie engine and in some way had his
hand caught in a part of the ma
chinery, with the result as above
staled.
The wound was promptly dressed,
and we hope that he may soon have
the use of his hand again.
