Arrived in Gaffney Saturday
on their Southern Tour.
GUESTS OF SOUTHERN.
They Went Through the Btg Mill of the
OafTney Manufacturing Company and
W r ere Both Surprised and Delighted With
the Magnitude and the Work of the Mill.
A large party of New England
manufacturers, members of the New
England Cotton Manufacturers’ As
sociation. arrived in the city Satur
day afternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The
party is making a tour through the
South as the guests of the Southern
Railway Company and were under
the personal direction of Mr. M. V.
Richards, the progressive industrial
agent of the road. The party was
met at the Southern depot by Presi
dent H. D. Wheat, Secretary J. G.
Wardlaw and Superintendent E. B.
Wilbur, of the Gaflney Manufactur
ing Company and escorted to Lip
scomb's Hotel, where they dined as
the guests of the officials of the Gaff
ney Manufacturing Company. The
members of the party are all practi
cal mill men. After luncheon the
party was escorted to the Gaffney
Manufacturing Company’s big mill
and conducted through the estab
lishment. Several of the members
had been through the South before
but the majority had not, therefore
they were not prepared for the reve
lations that met them. Numbers of
them expressed surprise at the mag
nitude and completeness of the plant
and were delighted with the manner
in which the work was carried on.
They spent about two hours iu the
city and then left for Spartanburg.
They spent Sunday in Asheville and
yesterday in Columbia, leaving to
day for their homes in New England.
The following named compose the
party:
Messrs. George F. Whitten, agent
of the Amory Manufacturing Com
pany, Manchester, N. H.; 0. P.

President Wheat and Superintend-
ant Wilbur, of the Gaffney Manu
facturing Company, are both mem
bers of the New England Associa
tion. as well as the Southern Cot
ton Spinners Association. They are
always delighted to meet other man
ufacturers and they are especially
pleased to be able to show them
through their mill as it has a reputa
tion all over the country as being one
of the best conducted p.ants in the
South.
The special train bearing the party
stopped opposite the Limestone Mills
for a^minute to get a glimpse of the
new mill, but as the machinery is
not yet in operation they did not get
out. Next year they will have the
pleasure of looking through it.
Among the party were several
newspaper men representing textile
journals published in New England.
Death of Editor Frank 1*. Beard.
Wc take the following from the
Aiken Journal and Review in regard
to the sudden death of Mr. Frank P.
Beard:
“Mr. Frank P. Beard, editor and
proprietor of the Graniteville News,
died very suddenly yesterday morn
ing while on the Charleston train en-
route from Augusta to Graniteville
or Aiken. He boarded the train
while it was crossing Broad street iu
Augusta and took a seat, and shortly
afterwards expired, so suddenly that
a passenger seated in the same seat
with him, we are informed, did not
know it. The conductor discovered
that Mr. Beard was dead when be
called on him for bis ticket. The
body was taken off the train at Warren*
ville and Ccy >ner Lee notified.
Mr. Beard was in Aiken Monday
and appeared in usual health. The
writer had <juite a lengthy conversa
tion with him about eight o’clock
Monday evening. He took the 9.20
night train for Augusta.
Mr. Beard's family lived in North
Augusta, whither, we presume, his
body has been sent for Interment.
We tender to bis afflicted family our
sinoerest sympathy in this their hour
of sore affliction. Peace to blsashes.”

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,
III., makes the statement, that she
caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; stis was treated for a month
by her family physician, hut grew
worse. He told her she was a hope
less victim of consumption and that
no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption; she
bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself henefftted from first
dose. She continued its use and af
ter taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own
housework, and is as well as she ever
was—Free trial bottles of this Great
Discovery at Cherokee Drug Com
pany. Only 50 cents and $1.00,

A BiutnrM Change.
A business change that will Interest
a good many people In Gaffney was
made last week when Dr. W. C.
Hamrick sold bis interest in the
Cherokee Drug Company to Dr. W’of-
ford Humphries and Dr. Charles Jef
feries. Heretofore Messrs. Hamrick
and Jefferies have been the proprie
tors, but on account of the demands
made on Dr. Hamrick’s time by the
Limestone Mills the latter determined
to sell out his Interests. The Chero
kee Drug Co. have been doing busi
ness in this city for several years and
have built up a good business by
honest and liberal business dealings,
and while there has been a change iu
the ownership there will be no mate
rial change in the management of
the business, as Dr. Humphries has
been connected with the establish
ment in the capacity of prescription
clerk for several years and is well ac
quainted with every detail of the
business. The Ledger predicts for
the new firm the same degree of suc
cess that has attended the old, and
wishes for Dr. Hamrick a successful
career as a cotton manufacturer.
It was said at tne War Depart
ment, at Washington, that no fear is
felt of an outbreak of yellow fever
among troops in Cuba.

Women suffer

troubles and

.sea, ought not
to lose hope if

sicians are so
busy with other
diseases that
they do not un
derstand fully
the peculiar ail

the sufferer ought to do is to give
a fair trial to
BRA DFIELD'S

which is the true cure provided
by Nature for all female troubles. It
is the formula of a physician of the
highest standing, who devoted his
whole life to the study of the dis
tinct ailments peculiar to our moth

of soothing, healing, strengthening
herbs and vegetables, which have
been provided by a kindly Nature to
cure irregularity in the menses, Leu-
corrhcea. Falling of the Womb, Nerv

In fairness to herself and to Brad*
