Do You Ever Take Medicine? Nearly every one takes medicine occasionally. Some people are taking medicine all the time. We are putting up medicine all the time. It’s our especial work. To some peo ple medicine making is a business; to us it is an accomplish ment—and a fine art. We have made medicine making a study. We have learned many things that Colleges of Pharmacy do not teach. Our courses in the college gave us an insight into phar macy, but our experience in the drug store has given us knowl edge of medicine; not only how to mix, compound, distill, filter and grind, but how and where to buy drugs; how to test for | f or hia arrest purity and strength ; how to follow' the doctor s directions in pie- scriptions ; how to prepare medicine that its most pronounced or most delicate action may be had according to the physician s expectations.

BURNED TO DEATH. Kttu ItawkliM M**( Tliat Turrlbl*) F»tc> Sat. urtlny Mornlug. Saturday morning a colored woman by the name of Mary Etta Dawkinp, wife of Eliphos Dawkins, who lives near Webster, in this county, was burned to death at her home, or, was burned so badly that she died in a few hours. Sunday afternoon the father of the woman came to Gaffney and going before Magistrate Wm. Phillips he charged Eliphus Dawkins, husband of the woman, with having burned her to death and secured a warrant Sheriff Thomas ar rested Dawkins and lodged him in jail hero about 4 o’clock Monday morning. There are bad stories afloat in re gard to the woman's tragio death, which, if true, make it the most ter rible crime that has ever been en acted in this section of the country. These stories are to the effect that Dawkins deliberately burned his wife to death by pouring kerosene oil on her and setting fire to her clothes. threw her burning in the fireplace. Dawkins is a well known colored man in this part of Cherokee county and is quite prominent among bin own color. He is a leading man “in the church" and preaches occasion ally, though he has do regular ap pointment. He and his wife had not been living together as congenially as husband end wife should for a long time, and frequently indulged in quarrels with threats of separation, so it is said by some who were intimate with the couple. It is further stated that only a short time before the tragedy occur- red they had had a quarrel, and upon the woman declaring her intention to leave his home Dawkins threatened to burn her alive if she attempted to do so. Another story is to the effect that on her dying bed she told that her husband had burned her. These are all mere reports and are given just as they wore told There has been no inquest held, and, therefore, nothing of a reliable nature has been brought out as to how the burning occurred. A Ledger man saw Dawkins at the jail yesterday and he (Dawkins) bad no statement to make, further than to ask the public to withhold their judgment until after the preliminary hearing which will be given him soon. He is still in jail. REPRESENTATIVE BUTLER. SOUSA’S TRIUMPH. Hi* Cupturcd Kurope uud Now <;«*«■» to Npurtoiiburi;. Americans were more in evidence in Europe last summer than any other visiting nationality, the many thousands who were attracted there by the Paris Exposition almost with out exception remaining to see the sights of other countries. The most conspicuous American of all those who journeyed through the continen tal countries and whose presence there gave more infinite pleasure to his fellow countrymen was undoubt edly John Philip Sousa, who was making a grand European tour with his great band and meeting with a a success quite unparalelied. The Sousa concerts in *11 the thirty-five cities that the band visited were the centre of attaction for all Americans. The sight of the stars and stripes floating from the bandstand, the presence of America's most popular conductor and composer, the sound of the stirring and familiar Sousa marchs and rag-time melodies satis fied the feeling of home sickness that every good American feels when abroad. “Many countries have been honored here this summer." said the Oprechet Courant of Haarlem, Hol land, “but America seems to carry away the crown. The enthusiasm of the public at the Sousa concert knew no bounds, or at least no chairs and hardly any tables. They were upset m the hurry to honor the march here. Sousa, with loud applause. It could hardly have been moro enthusiastic." Those who staid at home last sum mer will weicome the opportunity of hearing the Sousa band under as favorable cicrutnstuncos as those who went, to Europe and the announce ment that Sousa will bring his band m Spartanburg on Thur.-da) January 17th, will he received with pleasure. The soloists will be Bertha Buck Sin violinists, and Blanche Duffield soprano. lllNmark'K Iron Nerve Was the result of his splendid health.

Butler came up from Columbia Saturday and spent the day and Sunday in the city with bis family and friends. Speak ing to a Ledger representative Mr. Butler said: “Cherokee’s represen tatives have two of the best seats in the house. We are about the centre of the ball on the middle isle, and there is an advantage in this from the fact that when we want to attract the attention of the presiding officer we can do so with very little trouble and are not so liable to be overlooked as if we were in a remote corner. I have in preparation a bill and will introduce it as soon as practicable, to authorize the construction of a bridge across Broad river at some poiut to be selected by the county commissioners.
