Dry Goods, Etc. Grocerios, Etc. General Merchandise. Ever since we hiivo been dolnr? business we have been selling goods cheaper than any other store In Gaffney. We have no monopoly on the method; own no patent on the principles that enable us to take the lead In this respect. We secure worthy goods In vast <iuanlltles at the lowest cash rates, and sell uulekly, on the smallest margin of profit. Any dealer In the world could do the same. Hut the hindrance to our method Isdng emulated Is the fascinating temptation to make excessive profits. Most mer chants yield to that lure. Wo never do. Hence our success. The reason of our being always busy. Claims of selling cheaper are hollow unless fortified by solid argu ments that establish facts. Broad exaggerations flow rlpplngly from many sources. We could write with the same facile grace, but crediting the public with Intelligem e, we prefer to print simple statements and hack them with logical reasons.

Pharmacy’s Evolution, There was a time when colored globes in the windows, musty shelves and dusty bottles, cobwebs and gloom, with a bit of drugs mixed in, represented a drug store. This has been changed by the brightening process—bright fixtures and apartments, glisten ing bottles and cases, fresh assortments of patent remedies and lots of drugs. This latter is mostly the drug store of to-day. The up-to-date in pharmacy is expressed in The Cherokee Drug Co. You can’t be too Careful with your doctors’ prescriptions. It is important that they be filled exactly as directed. There is no drug store in the city where more correct attention is given prescriptions than in our prescription department. We also make a special effort to ac commodate those who frequently require them quickly. We have a boy to call and deliver prescriptions any place in the city. Telephone orders given special attention. Too Busy to write Adver tisement this week. Will see you later. JONES J. DARBY, General Insurance and Real Estate, Gaffney, S. C.

OPERA HOUSE TONIGHT. A I'nlqno and Elaborate Entertainment for Fun Lover*. At the opera house tonight there will be a oerforraance given that will be unique in the annals of theat ricals in Gaffney. Two and a half hours of continuous vaudeville, an assimilation of melody, mirth and madness, perpetuated for laughing purposes only. The programme em braces dancing, singing, wrestling, sparring, cake walking, skirt dancing, music, and other features. The buck and wing dancers of the South will appear; don't fail to see the dusky belles and beaus in the sensa tion of the hour, a genuine cake walk, done in “rag time.” Signos Camelleri the famous prestidigitateur, will mystify all with his art, which seems truly magic. Sensational skirt dancing. The Marvel Bros, Black Joe comedians will appear in a melange of melody and wit. Miss Pearl, a clever soubrette, late of the support of the Black Patti, is one of the most popular numbers of the programme. See her great buck dancing. Wrestling the by the best pair of wrestlers in this section. There will be a number of sparring matches, three rounds, between the Black Midget, three rounds between the Chanticleer Bros., three rounds between the good local light weights, and several others, including the wind up of ten rounds in full ring costume, on their merits,between the professional boxers, Jack Gardner, of Omaha, and Jimmy Hatfield, of .ouisville. The ring records of this 3air were published in The Ledger ;wo weeks ago. This will be an in tensely interesting go, and any one who admires a display of skill, strength and real fistic science, should not miss seeing this bout. Music by the Parkway Orchestra, also slavery time music. Doors open at 8 o’clock p. m., per- ormance at 8:80 p. m. The Minstrel* Tuesday Night. The Davis Brothers minstrels played to a very good house Tuesday night and all who greeted the attraction were amused and enjoyably enter tained by the performance. They gave two street parades in the after noon, despite the rain and mud, and made a good appearance. This is a good, clean minstrel show andjhas many excellent features which make it one among the best all negro organizations on the road. It came very near fulfilling our predictions of what it would be; the perform ance was clever and creditable, and all we have beard speak of it said they got the worth of their money. It was certainly worth the price of admission. MR. BOBO HONORED. A Rare Chance to Buy a Home in the ~ Town of Gaffney.

Mr. Bobo will deliver an address at the convention in Mem phis, Tenn., next spring. The Eagle congratulates the young gentleman upon bis high commission and will state that no young man in the country would fill the high posi tion with more credit to bis comrades and himself. Carlsbad should feel proud of this distinction bestowed upon one of her most gifted sons. Mr. Bobo is a South Carolina boy and lived in Gaffney several years prior to his going west. He attended school here under Profs. Sams and McArthur and graduated with honor and distinction. He is a member of one of the oldest and most highly esteemed families of the State; his father was a gallant Confederate soldier, and he, himself, is a young man of splendid moral character, excellent judg ment and ability and high lit erary attainments. He conducted himself while here in such a manner as to win the esteem and friendship of the people of Gaffney, and these same friends now congratulate him upon the high honor that has been conferred upon him in his new far western home. 4 V This signature on every l>ox of the genuine Laxative BrcniO'Quininc Tablets the remedy that cm*»>n a cold tu one day For Rent. _ ■'’’Advertisements under this head will be Inserted for one cent a word each inser tion.

Money to Loan on City and Farm Prop erty and Mill Stock. J AMIS© A. WIXvMB, Attomo y Blood TronMes: As the blood contains all the elements necessary to anstain life, it Is impor tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease, poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and loss of health is sure to follow. Some poisons enter the blood from without, through the skin by absorption, or inoculation ; others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the circulation. While all blood tro Cancer, Scrofula, CM Scram, Rheumatism, Contagious troubles have one common origin, each has some Blood Poison, peculiarity to distinguish it irom the other. Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula, _ mm Cancer, Rheumatism, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by msMsssgSsmSgS tSmgsgamsaa a certain sore, ulcer, eruption or inflammation appearing on the skin. Every blood %rmmm %0S%MS9S asm disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where it finds the least resistance. Mauy mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of salves, liniments and other external applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment. BLOOD TROUBLES REQUIRE BLOOD REMEDIESi the poison must be completely and perma- disease goes deeper and saps the very life. Mercury, _ diseases, are violent poisons, even when taken in small by adding another poison to the already overburdenen, diseased blood. S. S. S., Nature’s own remedy, made of roots and herbs, attacks the disease in the blood, antidotes and forces out all impurities, makes weak, thin blood rich, strong years ot success! ul cures proves unfailing specific for all blood ana skin troubles.

A Child Ha* It* Kye Put Out by Kxplo. •Ion of Soda Water Uottle. The two years old child of Mr. and Mrs. Z. A. Robertson, who live near the carpet tnili, was very painfully and seriously hurt in a peculiar man ner Wednesday afternoon. While the little fellow was pitying with a bottle of soda water the bottle exploded and put out one of its eyes, and its face was otherwise cut by pieces of the glass. A phyiician was immediately summoned and the wounds were dressed and the little sufferer was made as comfortable as possible under the circumstances Misfortune seems to follow close upon the footsteps of this same child, as it has not been very long since it swallowed some carbolic acid, which burned its throat severely and came very near causing its death; and now this recent accident has dis figured it for life. Mr. and Mrs. Robertson have the sympathy of the entire city in this their second affliction during the past few months; and we sincerely hope that the little sufferer may soon recover.
