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. The aim of the Cherokee Drug Co. has always
been to become a

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.

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.

He Spent Saturday and Sunday in the City
and Returned to Columbia Last Night.
Representative T. B. 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. I will send The
Ledger a copy of the bill for publica
tion. I do cot know of any othtr meus*
ure that is likely to be presented that
wili interest Cherokee, except that
legislation which attends every ses-
eu n of the legislature, such as ap
pointments, eic. The township
commissioners and magistrate ap
pointments will in all probability be
made this week."
