Thousands Hare Kidney Trouble
and Don’t Know it.
How To Find Ont.
Fill a bottle or common glass with your
water and let it stand twenty four hours; a
sediment or set
tling indicates an
! unhealthy condi
tion of the kid
neys; if it stains
your linen it is
evidence of kid
ney trouble; too
frequent desire to
pass it or pain in
the back is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and blad
der arc out of order.
What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra-
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should have the
best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes.
You may have a sample bottle of this
wonderful discovery
and a book that tellsjjji|]
more about it, both sent "
absolutely free by mail,
address Dr. Kilmer & Homo of Swamp-Root.

DEATH IN THE CITY.
K«v. D. .1. Patrick Nuccutubed to Typhoid
Kevcr tVcdncHdav MornliiK.
One of the saddest deaths I lull we
have been called upon to mention in
a long time occurred In thin city Wed
nesday morning when lt> v. I). J.
Patrick departed this life tit the resi
dence of Mr. D. J. Holt, just below
the (iallney cotton mill.
Mr. Patrick came to (iafluey on
Dec. 8th to fill the pastorate of the
Second Methodist church and the
(Jaifney circuit. He left the city on
the 241h and went to Monck’s Coiner,
where on the 27th he was happily
married to a Miss Avinger, of
Berkely'county. Ho was unwell at
the time of his marriage, and it was
postponed a few hours on account of
his not being able to be up at the ap
pointed hour. ’ He returned to Cafl-
ney on the 28th of December and
went to bed immediately upon bis
arrival at Mr. Holt’s. He continued
to grow worse, and just two weeks
from the day his illness began he
breathed his last, about ha'f past
four o’clock Wednesday morning, ty
phoid fever being the cause. His
home was in Summerville, and to
that place his body was taken for
burial, accompanied by his sorrowing
bride of two weeks and by bis
brother, who had come up to attend
him during his sickness.
Mr. Patrick was only twenty-nine
years of age and a faithful disciple of
the Savior whose cause he advocated.
He was a good preacher, a fluent
speaker and a conscientious man, and
had made a favorable impression
upon those who had formed his ac
quaintance during his short stay in
our midst. His new charge on this
circuit embraced the Second Metho
dist in this city and four others in
the country, one of them being at
(xrassy Pond, and he wili be missed
by them all.
The Spartanburg Journal says that
Mr. Patrick spent several years at
Wofford College and that he was
for three years a member of the
South Carolina Conference.
To the heart-broken young wife
and to the sorrowing family we ex
tend our deepest sympathy.
A Ueograpiiy 1’itrty.
The Misse# Ross extended the
hospitalities of their elegant home
on Frederick street to a number of
select friends Tuesday evening in
quite a unique and novel manner.
It was a “Geography Party,” which
was a new departure from the getieral
lino of amusements heretofore in
dulged in by the young people of the
city. Dainty invitations in the shape
of a globe were issued and the re
cipient was requested to represent
some geographical sketch by means
of an accessory.
On the menu card each dish was
represented by the name of some
town or country and prizes were of
fered to the ones who deciphered
the first, second and third/ largest
number of dishes. Miss Minnie Car-
roll was awarded first prize, Mr.
Robert Monroe second, and Miss May
Harris third.
There were about thirty young peo
ple present and it is needless to say
that every one enjoyed the affair im
mensely.
A .Wi'HKuriiiK Pw.ty.
The ladies of the Second Baptist
church are going to give a unique
entertainment in the basement of the
church Saturday night. It will be
known as a measuring party, and
each individual who attends will be
expected to pay for admission ac
cording to their beigth, that is three
cents for each foot and one cent for
each odd inch. Thus it will be seen
that the person six feet high will get
in for less than the one four feet and
eleven inches. A cordial invitation
is extended to everybody to attend.
There will be refreshments and other
attractions. The proceeds are to go
towards paying for some repairs to
be made on the church.
The Decree Filed.
The decree of Circuit Judge J C.
Kiugh, in the case of W. C. Carpen
ter, plaintiff against Luke Corry, de
fendant. has been filed in the clerk’s
office. This was an equity case,
argued at the fall term of the court
of common pleas, and involved the
point, hitherto not passed upon di
rectly by tha courts of this state,
whether or not a court of equity can
correct a deed made by a mortgagee
to himself and signed in his own
name. Judge Kiugh decided in
favor of the plaintiff, Mr. Carpen
ter, who was represented by Messrs.
Butler & Osborne and J E. Webster.
Mr. J. C. Jefferies represented the
defendant, Corry.
•lake Carpenter Camp to Meet,
Notice is given that the Jake Car
penter Camp, U. C. V., will meet in

city colors purple and gold. The
resolution was carried and hereafter

played on • m some months ago.
But George knows how to take a joke
as well us how to give one.

Couuty Coiuiul**ioner* Meet.
The last meeting of the old board
of county commissioners held their
regular meeting in the court house
Monday and Tuesday, which con
sumed the greater part of those two
days.
The business disposed of was
mostly of a routine nature, and the
most important matter that they
passed action upon was a recommen
dation to the legislature to reduce
the tax assessment for Cherokee one
mill for the entire county, thus mak
ing the amount fifteen mills for that
portion of the county taken from
Union and Spartanburg and fifteen
and one-half mills for that from the
York side.
They also voted to have a system
of waterworks placed in the court
house, which will be quite a conven
ience for the attachees of that build
ing. A new board will soon bo ap
pointed.
Dining n Talkov.
Seven people make a very comfort
able company for a dinner, provided
the seven are well selected. Two serv
ants, even one, can attend to seven very
nicely. Aud with that number the talk
cau be general. It can be, but it Is not
always so. There are so many people
of many words in this world that it is
difficult to get seven men and women
together without Including one monop
olist. When such a monopolist is a
woman, her sex does not make her
more attractive. Such a person is a
“weariness, a fever and a fret.” The
most, however. Is responsible If such
be included at a small dinner. The
large dinner is tbe place for such a
person; then only two persons, the one
on either side, can be made miserable.
There is an Idea In that—a fiendish one,
however. If it be desirable to punish
two of your friends, give a large dinner
and put tbe most lusistent bore In town
between the two.—John Gilmer Speed

to try Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy

The Famous Hnnilniwster Will he lu Tliut
City Nest Thursday.
An Interested observer of theSouda
concerts this season has umdo the
discovery that the popular hamluiHS-
ter and composer has started a sec
ond edition in hla famous collection
of medals. Instead of the glittering
array of bejeweled decorations that
formerly covered completely the
manly chest of the "Marc h King.”
there now may he seen four simple
medals depending from vari-col*
ored ribbons. The first—and tbe one
that Sousa prizes most—is the sprock
et-shaped badge that was the official
emblem of the Sixth Army Corps In
the Spanish-American war, hanging
from the American colors. It will be
remembered that Sousa was appoint
ed musical director with the rank of
Captain on tbe staff of Major-Gen
eral James H. Wilson, but the war
closed before the Sixth Corps was
called into active service and the
bandmaster had no opportunity to
achieve martial glory on tbe field of
battle. The corps badge was sent to
Sousa by General Wilson at Paris be
fore the General was ordered to
China.
Another handsome souvenir is the
simple gold medal that was struck to
commemorate the great success of
the Sousa concerts in Munich last
summer, which bangs from a cross
bar, bearing the Bavarian colors,
blue and white, in enamel. Tbe
largest of tbe decorations is the
Grand Cross of the Royal Academy
at Hainault, Belgium, which came to
the conductor after his successes in
Brussels and Liege. This cross de
pends from aYibbon of black, yellow,
white and red stripes. Another
medal was presented by the Carnival
Society of Cologne, and has a red and
white ribbon, the colors of tbe Rhine.
Sousa is coming here for one grand
concert, with the great band that
won such conspicuous triumphs in
Europe, appearing at Spartanburg
on Thursday, January 17th. The as
sisting soloists will be Blanche Duf-
field, soprano, and Bertha Bucklin,
violinist.
Mr. l.lghtfoot and a Thief.
The Raleigh News and Observer
gives the following little adventure
which happened to Rov. E. M. Light-
foot, of Waynesville, N. C., not long
since. As Mr. Lightfoot is known in
Gaffney we publish it for the benefit
of his friends here :
“A Story comes from Waynesville
of a preacher, a gun and a thief, with
no damage reported. It seems that
Christmas night Rev. Mr. Lightfoot,
pnstor of the Waynesville Baptist
church, was returning home quite
late from a church entertainment,
when he found a man making free
with his woodpile. Having been an
noyed in this way quite often of late,
Mr. Lightfoot embraced his oppor
tunity. Going into the house he got
his gun and let fly freely in the di
rection of the intruder.
The man called out not to shoot
that he was wounded, but as the
preacher advanced to him be fled and
Mr. Lightfoot indulged in one more
shot. Nothing has been heard from
the stranger.”

The Mother's Favorite,
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is
the mother’s favorite. It is pleasant
and safe for children to take and
always cures. It is intended espec

is not the least danger in giving it to
children for it contains no opium or
other injurious drug and may be
given as confidently to a babe as to
