The patient I refer to has used the water freely at home for scarce!jr a month now, with more beueHclal results than from months spent at different lithia springs In different parts of the United States, besides long continued u-.e of the same waters at home. Other of my patients and friends arc now using the same witli best results. I cordially recommend It to all suff ering from similar diseases. Very respectfully yours, Thomas h. Fowtsi.i., m. D.

A Trip to Tramptown Was Presented Friday Night. “TOWN TOPICS TONIGHT.” A Large Audience Greeted the One Friday Night and Knjoyed It- ‘•Town Toidc*" is a Strong Farce Coni|«nny and Promises to be the llest Seen In Gaffney. “A Trip to Tramptown,” was pre sented Friday evening to the largest and most fashionable audience that ever assembled in the GalTney Opera House, and|if applause is to be taken as an indication of approval it is safe to say that never has a GalTney au dience been better pleased with a performance. Of course we would not pretend to ^ay that the show was the acme of perfection. GalTney is not large enough to secure Mr. Richard Mansfiled or Mr. Henry Ir win, but the show was a. first-class s iow for a town of this size and many of those who attended left under the impression that it was the best show that had ever been to GalTney, and some said it would be impossible to get a better one here. There was a plot and the characters were well sustained, Mr. Arnold C. Baldwin as Victor Lorrell was the admiration of the audience, while Miss Mabel Grace Tardou, as Midget, came In for her share of applause. Mr. H. 0. Godshaw made such a true villian that he was hissed a number of limes. The work of Ceel, the come dy juggler, was beyond criticism, while the specialties of the Pardou Cousins came in for a liberal amount of applause. Altogether "A Trip to Tramptown” was a success and the people where delighted. In this connection it might not be amiss to say something in regard to the personals of tlie company. Mr. Reiss and all his associates are ladits and gentlemen. There is none of that toughness about them that has been apparent in so many of the at tractions that have visited Gaffney. They aru nicely Ijtted up in their private car and enjoy many home cC.^forts. Mrs. Keiss is u charming little woman who loves children anu flowers. While here the car was the admiration and attraction of the lit tle ones and Mrs. Reiss arranged them iu line and took snap shots with her kodak. “Town TopH-s.’' One of the strongest farce comedy organizations of the season is the production ‘‘Town Topics,” which will be the attraction at the Opera House tonight. For laughing pur poses alone “Town Topics” is well worth seeing, it is interspersed with bright, catchy music, some of which you may have heard before, but it is safe to say never so well sung. The ladies are said to be young, pretty and well gowned, while the men fit to a nicety the characters they portray. You follow the plot without effort, and although you have to stop *and laugh every few seconds, you are able to follow the story and thus keep in close sympathy with all the characters to the very end. There is perhaps a certain insufficiency in motive and no convincing reason for the complications of the plot, but it is futile for a person to find fault with the exaggeration and grotesqueness of pure farce. “Town Topics” is a successful fun maker, and that is its aim. Briefly, it may consistently be said to be the cleanest, the bright est and the best entertainment of its kind on the stage today. The spec ialties are new and seem to be im bued with the fun-making spirit, and above all, the farce is absolutely clean and free in all respects from any vulgarity, either implied or open ly expressed, and this is a great re life in this perverted age. The com pany is well balanced and the chang ing acts change so quickly and are so d ft y cemented that the whole is a smooth and consistent entertainment, thoroughly enjoyable. The local management have reason to feel pleased to offer this attraction to their patron. An effort will be made to arrange for the reading of the election returns between the acts. The Ledger would not say that the show tonight is the best the local management expect to have this sea son, but we can confidently say that the indications are that it will be the best show that has been to Gaffney this season so far, and we believe it will equal anything that has ever been here. It is the purpose of the local management to obtain the best shows possible for a town of this si?e and an honest effort will bo made to exclude as many bad ones as possible. One thing can be depended upon, however, and that is this, if The Led ger says the show is a good one it will do so because it has reasons to believe what it says is true, and if the indications are that it is not a good one we will not hesitate to say so. There are good, bad and indiff erent shows and wo will make an honest effort to disariminate between them. We feel confident in reeora* mending “Town 'iopics.” Dfuth of HD Jufaut. David Orlando, infant child of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Destufllno, died on Saturday, aged one year, four months and eleven days.

Mlm (lulltt I’ooln Take* llrr I.lfe Ity IImiik* tiilT Ifornclf to Cell liars. Last Friday Probate Judge J. E. Webster committed Miss Julia Poole, a respectable white woman, to jail on a writ of lunacy. Supper was served the prisoners at the usual hour and Miss Poole was iu her usual mood. A little later Mr. D. A. Thomas, father of Sheriff Thomas, accompa nied by Johnson Burgess, went up into the prisoners’ apartments to ad minister a dose of medicine to Miss Poole and were shocked to find her suspended from the bars of the cell by a rope made from the strings of the wrapper she wore. A hasty ex amination revealed the fact that the unfortunate woman was dead. The alarm was given and Dr. C. A. Jef feries, the attending physician, noti fied. Dr. Jefferies found, on exami nation, that the deceased had stran gled to death. Coroner Vinesett was notified. He came to the city and held an inquest Saturday. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased had come to her death by strangulation, tbe deed being per formed by her own hands. The body was removed to the home of Mrs. Harriet Poole, in this city. The re mains were interred at Elbethel graveyard. A Wife Says: 44 We have four children, With the firsf three I suffered almost unbearable pains from 12 to 14 hours, and had to be placed under the influence of chloroform. I used three bottles of Mother’s Friend before our last child came, which is a strong, fat and healthy boy, doing my housework up to within two hours of birth, and suf fered but a few hard pains. This lini ment is the grand est remedy ever made." Mother’s Friend f\ will do for every woman what it differ the Minnesota mother who writes the above let ter. Not to use it during pregnancy is a mistake to be paid for in pain and suffering. Mother’s Friend equips the patient with a strong body and clear intellect, which iq turn are imparted to the child. It relaxes the muscles and allows them to expand. It relieves morning sickness and nervousness. It puts all the organs concerned in perfect condition for the final hour, so that the actual labor is short and practically painless. Dan ger of rising or hard breasts is altogether avoided, and recovery is merely a matter of a few days. s Druggists sell Mother’s Friend for $1 a bottle.
