Not Necessary to
Test them on the Patient.
In the selection of our chemicals as well as our
sundries we exercise the utmost care to buy not what
is cheapest but what is best, and to high quality and
purity we sacrifice every other consideration.
The necessity of exercising the greatest care in
the purchase of drugs and chemicals is but rarely
recognized by the general public. A mother will spend
many hours in the wearisome search of the most suit
able clothes for her children ; a father will devote time
and labor to provide the best class of regular necessa
ries for his family ; when, however, it comes to medi
cines, the handiest and cheapest thing to be obtained
is often considered good enough. We believe that the
preparation of tinctures and extracts, on whose pu
rity the physician’s success depends, is too important
a matter not to be properly manufactured and in
which the purest drugs have entered. We therefore
invite you cordially to visit our pharmacy, where we
will welcome you and show you our facilities, whether
you need our services or not; and we confidently ex
pect to be in a position to convince you of the high
character of our aims and the sincerity of our pur
pose. Respectfully,

What They Say About....
Harris Lithia Water:
Mr. J. T. Harris:
Dear Sir—I ha/c found tlic use of the water
from your Lithia Spring in South Carolina so
efllcacious in the case of a young lady pa
tient of mine, who lias suffered for years with
Diabetes, with all Its different attendants,
that I want to add my testimonul to the
many you already have. The patient I refer
to has used the water freely at homo for
scarcely a month now, with more beneficial
results than from months spent at different
lithia springs In different parts of the United
States, besides long continued uso 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 8. Powell, M. D.
Pres. Southern Medical College,
Atlanta, Oa,
“The Harris Lithia Water is. in my opinion,
unexcelled for those ailments requiring the
salts it contains.
“Tueo. Lamb, M. D..
“Professor Diseases of Chest and Principal
of Medicine, Medical Department, Univer
sity of Georgia."
Asheville, N. C., April 24. IStfl.—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 uot the best,
Lithia Water known to the profession. In the
condition of Phosphatic Urine, Its action Is
marvelous. Its use In the Kheumatic and
Gouty diseases afford mo more comfort than
either the Huffalo or Londonderry Waters.
Very truly yours,
John Hey William, M. D.
Baltimore. M. D., June 24,1896.
J. T. Harris, Esq., Harris Spring, S. C:
Dear Sir—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 by far the host Lithia Water that I
have ever used, and that it has done mo a
great deal of good, and I think it a most val
uable remedy.

THE GAFFNEY LIVE
STOCI COMPANY.
Its Immense Building in
Course of Erection.
A HUGE ENTERPRISE.
The Kou min I ion of the Hnlliiliig Hit. Item
I.iihl itinl it l.itrge Force of llnnil. Will
Puah It to Completion-The tom puny I.
Componeil of Moneyed Men.
Ground has been broken for tho
immense building of tho GufTney Live
Stock Company on Limestone street.
The foundation has already been laid
and a large force of masons is now en
gaged laying brick on the walls.
It is certainly an inspiring sight to
watch the hands at work and note
the progress they are making, and at
the rate the walls are going up now
it cannot be very long until the
work is completed, unless it be hin
dered by bad weather or some other
cause.
Contractor L. Baker has charge of
the work and that fact is a sullicient
guarantee that there will be no un
necessary delay in rushing it to com
pletion, and that the minutest detail
will be carefully looked after by com
petent workmen in bis employ.
The building proper will be 150x60
feet; the stable 100x40 feet; the
carriage, wagon and buggy depart
ment 100x26, and the horse and mule
pen 66x50 feet, all of brick with the
exception of the necessary wood
work.
As has been said before in these
co.umns. the Gaffney Live Stock
Company is a branch of the Lancas
ter Mercantile Company, of Lancas
ter, who were induced by our hust
ling insurance man, Jones J. Darby,
to erect a branch concern at this
place. The company is composed of
moneyed men, who have, besides, an
almost unlimited bucking and many
years of experience in the business
world; all of which gives assurance
that tins new industry will be con
ducted upon a gigantic scale and in
strict accordance with the highest
business principles.
It seems that no officers have been
elected here as yet, but probably will
be at an early date. In the mean
time Mr. Tom Clarkson is looking
after the interests of the company at
this place.
The Rock Hill Herald says:
“Mr. W T. Poag and family, who
will remove to Galfney, will leave
about the 20th instant. Mr. Poag
will engage in the live stock business
-for the Lancaster Merpuntile Co.
York will lose some very desirable
citizens when Mr, Poag and family
take their leave."
We judge from the above that Mr.
Poag will have the management of
this branch of the business, and in
him it will have an able superintend
ent.
Mr Poag and his excellent family
will make valuable additions to Gall-
ney’s society, and Gulluey will ex
tend to them a warm and hearty wvl
come when they settle within her
borders.
This new enterprise, too, will be a
great thing for our city, as it is an
indication that our growth, progress-
iveness and prosperity are reoogniz d
by business men from a distance.
We hope that others will follow
the example of the Gaffney Live
Stock Company.
Child Killed at Thlckety.
Quite a shocking accident occurred
at Thickety Tuesday afternoeo by
which a little colored girl lost her
life. Ben Smith, her stepfather, was
taking some shells out of a pistol
while the girl was sitting near him in
a chair. He bad finished unloading
it of the empty shells, leaving one
cartridge in the pistol, and got up to
put ic away; when, just as he was
rising, the weapon was discharged
and the ball entered the girl’s head
just over tho right eye. He had unwit
tingly left the hammer standing and
in getting up his hand came in con
tact with the trigger, which caused
the weapon to go oil, and as a result
of the carelessness,the death of a hu
man being.
The coroner was summoned, and
he and Dr. Giiffith went to Thickety
Wednesday morning and held a post
mortem examination, which brought
out the above facts.
Dr. Griffith cut the ball out of the
back of the unfortunate girl’s head,
where It had lodged. It was from a
thirty-two calibre cartridge and was
slightly flattened in two or three
places.
It was evidently purely accidental
and Smith seemed very much cast
down over the sad affair. When will
people learn to be more careful with
firearms!
Putting on City Alrn.
Gaffney is certainly assuming city
airs. At the regular meeting of the
city council the city fathers made a
contract with Mr. L. S. Benhum to
numb* r the houses and stores and
erect street signs on the corners of
the streets, so that after the work
has been finished it will not be nec
essary for a stranger in the city to
stop and inquire every few steps
where Mr. So-and-So lives or does
business All that will be necessary
will be to learn the street and the
number and then a stranger can pick
out any residence or store desired
without inquiry. Mr. Benham comes
well recommended by the mayors
and city councils of various cities in
which he has worked and The Ledger
ftels safe in saying that the work
will be well and systematically done.
Thus it is step by step Gaffney con
tinues to put on city airs and it will
not be many more years until we
have a free city delivery of mail,
electric car lines and sewerage.
Watch Galfney.

Iloatli of Mrs. Pulliam.
Mrs. Kll F. 1’utnain, of Double
Shoals, N. O., died last Friday night
and was buried Sunday at New Bethel
church. She hud been sick about
four weeks with typhoid fever, and
though all was done for her that lov
ing hands and medical skill could do,
her last hour had coino and she an
swered the summons that culled her
to glory.
Mrs. I’utnarn was forty-six years
of Mge and a true and loyal member
of the Uuutist church. She became
a member of the church when she
was twenty years old, and since that
time she has been a faithful follower
of Jesus and has done much good for
His cause.
The deceased was the mother of
eleven children seven of whom, four
boys and three girls, still survive
her, together with her husband. One
of her sons is now very low w*th fe
ver, but is thought to be improving,
though for some time his life was
despaired of.
Mrs. Putnam was a sister of Rev.
W. T. Thompson, of our city, and he
is the sole surviving member of a
once large and happy family. The
Cleveland Star says of her: She was
a remarkably good woman and a
close follower of her Lord, and her
household was a happy one, where
love was the ruling and controlling
power.”
The grief stricken family and the
bereaved brother have the heartfelt
sympathy of many friends in their
dark hour of sorrow.
Indian Kellci*.
D. J. Pew and little son, Napoleon,
of Mercer, came in to see us a few
days ago while they were in the city.
Mr. Pew had in bis possession two
Indian relics that he had found on
McKown’s Mountain in the lower
part of the county. One was an In
dian hatchet or tomahawk, without
the handle and had the top broken
off. The other was shaped something
like a hatcket, but was too blunt for
any kind of cutting, and must have
been used as am instrument of
warfare

M.00D POISON
In sonic cases the external signs of Contagious Blood Poison are so slight that the
victim is firmly within the grasn of the monster before the true nature of the disease
is known. In other cases the blood is quickly filled with this poisonous virus and the
swollen glands, mucus patches in the mouth, sores on scalp, ulcers on tongue, sore
throat, eruptions on skin, copper colored splotches, and falling hair and eyebrows
leave no room for doubt, as these are all unmistakable signs of Contagious Blood Poison.
Doctors still prescribe mercury and potash as the only cure for Blood Poison. These poisonous min
erals never yet made a complete and permanent cure of Contagious Blood Poison. They drive the disease
back into the system, cover it up for a while, but it breaks out again in worse form. These powerful minerals produce mercurial
rheumatism and the most offensive sores and ulcers, causing the joints to stiffen ami finger nails to drop off. Mercurv and

Not Cures
.. , No matter in what stage or how hopeless the case YTTay appear,
though pronounced incurable by the doctors, S. S. S. can be relied upon to make a rapid’ pernYarfem%ure. S. S. S. is not a
new, untried remedy ; an experience of nearly fifty years has proven, it a sure and uiffailing cure fiUthis disease. It is the
only purely vegetable blood medicine known. r - * 1 * *
L Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N J , says : “ I was afflicted with a terrible Mood <l*ase, which was in spots at first, t.ut afterwards
spread all over my body. 1 hese soon broke out into sores, and it is easy to imagine the suffering I endureil Jljtore I became convinced that the
doctors could do me no good I had spent a hundred dollars, wlii “ tvhs really thrown away. I theu
tried various patent medicines, but they did not%4hch the dNon*r nfhftnT had finished my first

anybody can’t fit up a carpet, it takes experience, and right here we will say that a carpet is like
