HARRIS SKIPS. He I,eaves Itel.lnd a Number of Unpaid Ac counts with (iaffney Merchant*. About aix mouths ago a dapper lit- t!e m in with a smooth face and a polite address came to Gaffney to open the new Commercial Hotel. He was received with open arms and hailed as a good fellow in general. The kird hearted people of Gaffney received him warmly. If he were to come back now he would rec ivo a warmer welcome than he did on his first appearance. The reason is that the people—or at least some of them —know him better He opened the hotel with a great flourish of trumpets. He invited everybody to come and dine with him and to par take of his hospitality. Things moved along smoothly and noi a wave of trouble rolled across the minds of Gallney merchants. The dapper little fellow is no longer seen upon our streets. The guests who visit the Commercial are no longer greeted with that innocent smile. The minds of some of Gaffney’s iner- chauts no longer bear that serenity of former days. The cause of it all is that the dapper little fellow has skipped. He did not exactly skin by the light of the moon, but he did the next thing to it. Ho skipped by the early morning light. Yes, he is gone, and we mourn for him because he is not. May his mind rest in peace, eternal peace, because ours cannot. We long to see him. We know him to the tune of a double eag!e and more. Others know him to the tune of more. The guests of the Commercial are greeted with another smiling counte nance now. This one is a tried and true one. They need have no fears hut that they will receive a warm welcome and tho merchants have no fears of their bills not being paid. Your Uncle Samuel Hopper is the genius that stands behind the coun ter and reads the name of the guests upside down as he writes it on the ledger and greets him with a pleas ant “howdy-do.” May it be a long while before Uncle Sam and the Commercial part company. THE MAYOR’S COURT. Only Tho CnneH Before HU Honor Last Week and Two lesterduy. The offenders against the city or dinances have been very few during the last two weeks; but whether it is that the standard of morality is being raised higher among the usual offend ing class, or whether they are be coming more adept in the art of con- (•♦aling >heir crimes and escaping toe vigilance of tiie officer.-, is a mat ter for conjecture. There was only one case last week and that was against a colored indi- | vidual by the name of Alice Towell for being a disorderly person and us ing language not laid down in the catechism. Alice pleaded not guilty to the shocking charge and was dis missed. Yesterday Bob Liles, a young col ored sport who has a habit of “iden tify ing” himself with almost every thing, except a good moral charac ter, and who seems to have a fond ness for chaingang hospitalities, was up yesterday on a charge of pettit larceny—a charge that he has an swered to before, Mr. W. 0. Johnson being the plaintiff. The case was continued until this morning at 9 o’clock. The only other case was against a young white man for violating the bicycle law. He was fined two dol lars, which he paid. “Suffer Little Cblldreu.’’ Little Irene, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Holmes, died on Christ mas day at the home of her parents in the Limestone cotton mill village. Irene was between five and six years of age and had been #ick about six weeks of typhoid fever, and her death was caused by some throat trouble resulting from that dread disease. The body was taken to Drayton- ville cemetery for burial and there it was consigned to its last resting place, while fond parents and a few friends looked on with weeping eyes. The bereaved parents have many sympathizers in this sffiiction that, sooner or later, must come to all. A Boy Hurt. A little boy by the name of Love lace, who works in the Gaffney cotton mill, got his hand caught in a carder Saturday and pretty badly lacerated. He was urought to the Cherokee Drug store, where the wound was dressed, and, fortunately, it was found that amputation would not be necessary. With proper care, he will have the use- of his baud in a short time. Not Tlie Kind She Wanted. A well known lady who lives but a few miles from the city was in town yesterday and stepped in to the store of an equally well known merchant and asked if be had any honey. “Yes mam,” replied the merchant “l always keep it, I am honey my self.” “That ina> beso. ” replied the lady, “but you are mighty full of bee r^a'i.” A ChauKe of Kaitr. Mr. J. K Killian, who was for some time connecUd with tho Gaffney ^ Manufacturing Company, in this I city, but who went from here to Charlotte to work for the Alpha Mills, has accepted a position with the Cherokee Falls Manufacturing Company. The Ledger is pleased to have Mr. Killian so near it again. Ho is not omy a good mill man but is a pleasant and affable citizen and while we cannot have him in our midst we want the next best thing and that is to nave him as near us possible.

Every woman in the country ought to know about Mother’s Friend Those who do know about it wonder how they ever got along without it. It has robbed child birth of its terrors for many a young wife. It has preserved her girlish figure and saved her much suffering. It is an external lini ment and canies with it therefore, absolutely no danger of ujvsetting the system as drugs taken intern ally are apt to do. It is to be rubbed into the abdomen to soften and strengthen the muscles which are to bear the strain. This means much less pain. It also prevents morning sickness and all of the other discomforts of pregnancy. A druggist of Macon, Ga., says: “I have sold a large quantity of Mother’s Friend and have never known an instance where it has failed to produce the good results claimed for it.” A prominent lady of Lam- berton, Ark., writes: “With my first six children 1 was in labor from 24 to 30 hours. After using Mother’s Friend, my seventh was born in 4 hours.” Get Mother’* Friend at the drair store, <41.00 per bottle. THE BRADFIELD REGULATOR CO. AILANIA, GA.
