Mr. Albert H -inbart, of Ilultimore, and Miss Iva Whisonant, of Hlaoks- burp, were married at tbe homo of the biide’s parents on Wednesday oveuinp the nth, inst. Tbe Hlacks- burp correspondent of the Yorkville Enquirer thus describes the happy event: “A very^pretty homo wedding was celebrated at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Whisonant on Wed nesday evening, 5th instant, at (5:50 o’clock, when their daughter, Miss Iva Isabel, was united in holy matri mony to Mr. Albert Raymond Rein hart, of Raltimore. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. H. Dixon, of Sharon, in the presence of a few* specially invited friends. The special attendants, who Immediately pre ceded tbe bride and groom into tbe hall, were Miss Marie Carroll, of Sha ron, and Mr. Waller Bentley, of Blacksburg. The wedding march was rendered sweetly and softly by Mrs. Dixon, wife of the officiating minister. The bride was robed in a becoming traveling dress of brown broadcloth, and was the recipient of numerous handsome and useful pre sents. The bride is an attractive and popu lar young lady and has many friends both in Blacksbnrg and Sharon, where she formerly lived, who wish her much happiness, '"he groom is a popular traveling salesman for a Baltimore house, and served during the Spanish war in the U. S. navy as acting paymaster on one of the ves sels. They will leave on Monday next for Baltimore, where a reception will be given them at the residence of the groom’s father. They will make Baltimore their future home. ’ DR. LODGE AT GREENWOOD. His AddroM* at tlic Convention Received AVltli JCiittiusiaKtlc Applause. Dr. Leo Davis Lodge, of Limestone College, returned from the State Baptist Convention Tuesday highly elated over the success he scored for his college and for the Winnie Davis School of History and the royal re ception he received from the people of Greenwood. The Baptist Courier says of his address : ‘ Dr. I jee Davis Lodge spoke next. Ho made bis maiden address before this Convention last year. It was fine, great. So was this. But you should have come and heard it, read er. A strong speech cannot bo re ported The written page is one thing; the public address is another thing. He started by quoting a poem about Lee and floated away into eloquences in laurels for the Con federacy. ‘•I believe in the New South, but also the Old South. The New South which I like reverences the Old.” This sentiment provoked hearty ap plause, as did other utterances.” ****** ‘ Dr. Lee Davis Lodge had at the Convention a large number of large and handsome steel plate engravings of MioS Winnie Davis, tbe Daughter of the Confederacy, and distributed them among the delegates in connec tion with his educational address. A happy hit was that. Dr. Lodge knows how to make happy hits. A most happy hit is he hi.nself to Limestone and Baptist education in South Carolina. To carry the idea further, what was a happier hit than his speech at Greenwood.” Mr. Whch'liel TuUck Cliurgti. On last Saturday Mr. Joe Whel- chel, the newly elected supervisor of Cherokee, took charge of the office, he having received his commission several days ago. Mr. Whelchel is what can well be termed a self-made man. He is quiet and un'ts-urning but has displayed good business judg ment in the management of his private affairs, and no will doubtless conduct the affairs of his office in the same manner. The Ledger wishes him euccess beeamie we believe him to be worthy of it. Mr. N Lipscomb, who has so faith fully served the county since its orcunizaHon, has b^en in bad heMth •o for some time. We are glad to note that lie has been Improving lately and is now able to be out some. In regard to him we wish to say that he should be remembered for the good be has done As u public < flicer he has boon cureful and prudent and Cherokee will never have an officer that will look after the affairs of the county better than he did. May he regain his health entirely and have ma"y more years of usefulness Is our wish. Ill* Arm Mini L.«k Uroken. Johnnie Byars, about eight years old and son of Mr John Bjars, a car penter in the city, met with a very painful accident Wednesday while playing near his home in the lower part of the city. The little follow was running around with other children, in the exhuberance of his spirits, and acci dentally fell from a high bank on tbe side of tbe road, breaking his right leg and left arm. Dr. Settlemeyer was called in and set the broken members and the unfortunate little boy is now doing as well as could be expected from the nature of his wounds Doe* It I'ny to Jtuy Clicap?

Tin' llrnild Kt|oare Opera Company Will I’lay Two Nlulit* nt Tho Open* llotiNe. Those who delight in music and opera will bo glad to know that the Herald Square Opera Company is to again visit Gaffney, and that in the near future. The management of the local opera house having no amusements (or several weeks and learning that the Herald Square Opera Co., had no engagement for two nights, next Friday and Satur day, determined to secure a return engagement. This has been accomp lished and they will play “Chimes of Normandy” Friday night and “Billy Taylor” Saturday night. Of the lat ter opera the Rock Hill Herald has the following to say : “An exceptionally large audience enjoyed the Herald Square Opera performance of “Billie Taylor” at the college Friday night. “The company made a clever hit with the students and was fully ap preciative of the high compliment paid them for theirs is the first and only real “theatre show” Prof. John son lias ever brought to tho audito rium The opera was bright and sparkling with many exquisite musi cal gems and the situation clever and exceedingly laughable. Sweet singers, brilliant and picturesque costumes fine concerted numbers and ^ood wholesome-comedy helped make a most delightful evening. There were no happier girls in all Dixie than the tour hundred who filled tho hails and stairways after the show and cheered the actors and singers in passing to the carriages. m BMW, BAB CMHEXKN. The skin is the seat of an almost end less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin. To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and health}’. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples. EiernsS vtgiianGe fs tho price ci' a ksoautifui contploxsiGci when such remedies are relied on. Mr. H. T. ShoLe, 2704 I,uc;n Avenue, fit. Louis, Mo., says : " Mv dzuvhtrr was afliictt't for \ ears with a "disfiguring eruption on her face, which resisted all treatment, fche was taken to two celebrated health springs, but received no bene fit. Many medicines were prescribed, but with out result, until we decided to try fi. S. S .nud by the time the first bottle was finished the eruption began to disappear. A dozen bottles cured hef completely and left her skin perfectly smooth. She is now seventeen years old, and not a sign of the embarrassing disease has ever returned." S. S.

Bad blood makes bad complexions. purifies and invigo rates the old and makes new, rich blood that nourishes the body and keeps the skin active and healthy and in proper Condition to perforin its part towards carrying off the impurities from the body.

Do you get a tickling sensation in the throat which only coughing will relieve, and that for a short time only? Do you cough so hard that your stomach hurts from the el fort? Are you “stopped up”, in the head and throatf Does your voice get husky? iV Had Uold, As it is usually called, is a congestion of bl< blood vessels of the bronchial tubes and lungs, internal fever and an imflammation of the parts I idly spreading to other parts of the body. Thu- j fever or heat. 'The Cause. Exposure to a draught of cool air when the body is over heated causes a sudden lowering of the temperature of the surface of the body. The blood from the surface is driven in and the . smaller blood vessels become suilused with more blood than na ture intended them to dispose of. Congestion. j r I he vessels swell up and become congested, the air passages become inflamed and the mere passing of the air in breathing irritates them. This causes that tickling sensation and a cough is the result. r l he mucus secretions become thick and hard and increases the local fever which ensues. Proper Course to Pursue. * There is only one way to cure a cold whether it he an ordi nary cold or one resulting from “Grippe”—and that is to pro mote a tree How of the secretions and relieve the congestion. The Remedy==Dr. WOFFORD’S EXPECTORANT. It promotes a free flow of the secretions, scatters the con gested blood back to its circulation and restores the suppressed and congested air passages to their normal condition.
