CARPENTER.
A jeweler must use a definite proportion of fine gold
to make an IS-kt ring. A certain quantity of carbon must
be united with iron to make steel, and chemicals must
conform to given standards of purity if they should have
the desired therapeutic power.
To insure against those ‘•little" differences, those de
flections from correct standards, you should use drugs
from the Cherokee Drug Co. It is because of uniform
superiority; because “our chemicals” arc synonymous
with purity and reliability.

Mr. 1’. 1>. Phillips, tiutl hi her homo
in this city on PutuHay, llcoomber
2!Uh, in Hip fifty-eighth year of her
li^o. Mrs. i*iiiilipH had only boon ill
about t'n (iaye of paralysis of the
throat. Mrs. Phillips was a moinber
of Corinth baptist church, in good
standing, for thirty-five years and
lived up to her faith so closely ihat
she was iu the full enjoyment of its
comforts when tho end came. She
was a lady of fine sense and more
than ordinary information; was de
voted to her husband and children
and was to them all Iliat tiie words
wife and mother imply. She was a
kind neighbor and always had a
prominent place in all tho good
works of her neighborhood and
church and will not only be missed
by her devoted husband and children
but by all of her acquaintance who
appreciate a wifely wife, a motherly
mother, a neigt borly nedghbor and a
womanly woman of high and sterling
character.
The remains of Mrs. Phillips were
interred at Corinth church on Dec
doth., in the presence of a large
gathering of sorrowing relatives and
friends. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. M. F. Samples,
who preached an appropriate sermon
from second Timothy, fourth chap
ter and Roventh verse.
Her husband and three sons, J. 0..
I. (i. and S. S. Phillips and an only
daughter, Mrs. VVm. Painter, survive
her.
Death of Mrs. Mcsscnlah Itrhlgt'H.
Thursday morning about three
o’clock Mrs. Messeniah Bridges died
at the home of her son, Mr. Charles
Bridges, in this city, at the advanced
age of eighty-seven. She hud been
in very good health up to three or
four weeks ago, when she became ill
with something like grip and gradu
ally grew worse until the end came
Thursday morning. Mrs. Bridges
was lire daughter of Thomas Colo,
who was one of tho first settlers of
upper South Carolina. She was a
faithful member of Limestone Bap
tist church, and had been connected
with that church for fifty years, dur
ing which time sire never moved in her
faith in tho Giver of all good; and
she died as she had lived, quietly and
peacefully and in full hope of eternal
joy and happiness beyond the river
of time. She was a good woman, and
never left undone anything that she
could do towards lightening the
burdens of those by whom she was
surrounded.
Funeral services were held at the
residence by Rev. Air. Ford, of the
Baptist church, and the remains were
placed in Oakland cemetery by the
side of her father and mother who
had preceded her many years before.
Mrs. Bridges was a good woman, as
all who knew her can testify, and she
will be missed by her neighbors and
h/. r surviving children, of whom there
ire four.
••Tito Strange Adventure* of Mis* Brown. H
The small audience that attended
the performance of “The Strange Ad
ventures of Miss Brown” at the opera
house Saturday night were well
pleased with the performance, if ap
plause is to be taken as an indication
of approval. The first act is rather
tame but Interest increases in the
second and third. Mr. Sam Hunt as
Corydon Foxglove, the lawyer, was
the not the star of the cast,but the star
actor of.the company. He did con
scientious work while the others
seemed to have that tired feeling.
The company is a good one and the
cast is evenly balanced but the small
audience seemed to give the entire
aggregation a chill. The slim at
tendance was due entirely to the
misrepresentation of the advance
man. He misrepresented matters to
Mr. Ross and the misrepresentation
was discovered and this placed the
local management in a position where
they could not give the show the
proper recommendation. How long
will it take show people to learn that
truthfulness will servo them better
than falsehood? It seems that every
advance agent of a show is a born
liar and that it is impossible for them
to tell the truth.
Thu Shrlr.'ur* lu Charlotte.
Friday night the Shriners met in
Charlotte, and those who are into the
mysteries of the order aver that they
had a “cracker-jack” time. Some of
the candidates were so delighted with
their treatment that they stayed up
all night and others were so well
pleased that.they got up at five o’clock
in the morning after having gone to
bed between two and three. George
Cotton was so well pleased that he
forgot there was a show In Gaffney
Saturday night. Gaffney presented
three candidates, viz: Alderman
George Cotton, 1’rof. Wade R. Brown
and “Billy” Allen. Messrs. Brown
and Allen seemed to stand the racket
all right, but we cannot say so much
for George. Messrs. R. M. Gaffney,
“Billy” Lees and \V. H. Ross also
attended the meeting from this place.
All three of them ure old stagers and
appeared as fresh as full blown roses
after a spring shower Saturday
morning. Tho knowing ones assert
that the Shrine is a “warm baby,”
but you should have “seen George.”
Tho l.a*t Hay.
Yesterday was the lajtday for pay
ing county taxes and all those who
failed to contribute their pro rata
share towards swelling tho county
treasury must suffer the conse-
quences of their tardiness. Governor
MoSweeney has announced that he
will not recommend nor do anything
to have the time expended for the
payment of tuxes. The books of
the county treasurer closed last night
and penalties are now In order for
the delinquents.

If some of the sumo “tonic” uh
t h.it mentioned below were adminis
tered to Rome of our colored c'tizena
in this section of the country and
around Gaffney especially, tho result
would be greatly beneficial to the
morals of colored society wherever
used:
“Magistrate Ktrohrcker, of Ten
Mile Hill, near Charleston, is a soon
er. Week before last, according to
t he Charleston I’ost, he issued an
edict that all nogro men supporting
negro women must show marriage
certificates, issued either by a li
censed minister or a magistrate.
Msgistrato Strohecker gave the
negroes to understand that tho prac
tice of one negro man living with
three or four negro women would not
ho tolorated in his district, and all
persons caught violating his edict
would he sent to the chain gang.
When the edict became known
there was a great flocking of colored
people to Judge Stroh cker’s office to
be married. Last week he married
mom than seventy-five couples. He
says he is going to keep up tho good
work until ho makes the colored
people in his district live together
decently.”
If a Woman
wants to put out a fire she doesn’t
heap on oil and wood. She throws
on water,knowing that waterquenches
fire. When a woman wants to get
well from diseases peculiar to her sex,
she should not add fuel to the fire
already burning her life away. She
should not take worthless drugs and
potions composed of harmful narcot
ics and opiates. They do not check
the disease—they do not cure it—they
simply add fuel to the fire.
Bradfield’s Female
Regulator should be
taken by every woman
or girl who has the
slightest suspicion of
any of the ail
ments which af
flict women.
They will simply
be wasting time
until they take it.
The Regulator is
a purifying,
strengt h e n i n g
. tonic, which gets
[at the roots of the
disease and cures
tlie cause. It does not drug
the pain, it eradicates it
It stops fallingof the womb,
leucorrhea, inflammation
and periodical suffering, ir
regular, scanty or painful
menstruation; and by doing X
all this drives away the X
hundred and one aches and X
pains which drain health X
and beauty, happiness and
good temper from many a X
woman's life. It is the one X
remedy above all others X
which every woman should X
know about and use. ^
