KEZ& s In Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. jtj, ~ The kidneys are your J*' t'v' a V7(h Jm blood purifiers, they fil- • 'bill ( er 0U ( th e waste or impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly a'l constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake ju by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty- cent and one dollar siz es. You may have a _ sample bottle by mail Homo of Swamp-Hoot, free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

AT THE OPERA HOUSE. Siiitit.|hlii|; ConeeruliiK The l.ast Show Anil The Nest One That Is To lie Here. The Hlllyers were the attraction at the opera house Tuesday and Wed- tusday night As far as their enter tainment goes it does very well, but it does not go very far. In other words, tin re is too much of a sutneness about It. A couple of good specialty people would relieve I lie monotony and make tie entertainment worth the money. Mrs. Hillyer is clever in all her tests. The public, how ever. should not give her credit for possessing any undue amount of spiritualism. Everything they do is trickery, but they do fone clever and mystifying tricks. Altogether tl e entertainment seemed to please the majority of the people. But. like most shows, Mr. Hillyer advertises a great deal more than he does at d one would have to stretch his imaginatUn to see “the entire change of pro gram” promised the second night. On next Monday night Prof. Mee han will be at the opera house whh his troupe of trained dogs Now thero are some people who do not like this kind of show, but there are a great many others who do like them. The Ledger can recommend this show as being one of the best tf the kind on the road. Mr. Meehan 1 as a number of authentic recom mendations from managers in North and South Carolina, Virginia and other states recommending his show to be a first-class show of its kind A prominent Gaffney attorney lias told a Ledger man that it was a good show, and we believe all who attend will enjoy it The performance will delight the ladies and children and all men who appreciate animal sa gacity. The following criticism is taken from an Orangeburg paper, the show’ having been there recently: “Prof. Meehan’s trained dogs gave an exhibition last night before a large and appriciative audience in the opera bouse. The dogs are easily the tinest and best troupe now before the public and contrary to most ex hibitions of trained animals can en tertain both old and young. The feats they perform are truly wonder ful and they take their places and do their work with ease and without the use of the whip. Dan, the acrobatic dog, turns somersaults faster than the best athlete, while the clown dogs know just when to come in for their turn without urging. But the best of all is the Maloney family, which alone is worth the price of ad mission. These little dogs win the praises of every one who sees them. The leaning grey hounds, Mark and Fly, are by long odds the best long and high jumpers ever seen heae.” Reserved seats on sale Monday morning at A. B. Gaines’ furniture store. PENSION PROCEEDINGS. It NeeniH That the Old Soldierti In Having; a Hurd Time OettliiK Their Money. Pension proceedings have started again, and it seems that the old veterans who fought so hard for their country—the heroes of many a bat tlefield—and sacrificed arms and legs for her cause, will have a hard time getting their pensions from the State of South Carolina. It will be necessary for every old pensioner to make a new application, just us if he were applying for the first time; and in doing so ho must state, under oath, to what company, regiment and battallion he belonged and that the combined income of himself and wife does not exceed $75 a year. He must also give his age. ms place of residence, how long he has lived there, in what company he enlisted, what regiment, the name ot his captain, how long he served, when be was discharged, and the reasons therefor. Then he must certify how long he lias been on the pension roll, that he is not an applicant for a pension in any other county than that in which he lives, any other State nor from the United States government. Next is a blank for witnesses who must swear that they know the appli- caiit and that he was a soldier in a certain company and a certain regi ment; they must also testify to the length of time lie lias resided in the state. These witnesses must be two who are not on the pension rolls, nor applicants to- pensions. Last comes the auditor’s certificate of how much property the applicant returns for taxation, and the kinds. The amount and Rind of his wife’s property is also given On the back of the blank is the certificate and opinion of the pension board. They certify to having care fully examined the application and then give their opinion as to whether or not the applicant is entitled to a pension. When the blanks are tilled out they go to tho State Board and the returns will be made about March. The rules are very strict, and it is probable that some of the applicants will he disappointed if their income is found to be over $75. As will be seen by the foregoing, new applications must bo made, the sumo as at first. All those in this county who are entitled to pensions may secure application blanks by calling on Mr. Charles Bridges, at his meat market in Gaffney, as hs has a supply of them on hand. The County 1’ension Board will meet in the court house on Monday next for the pur pose of examining applications. Intoxicated l»y Tea. Those who think it is Impossible to get drunk on tea have never seen n blond young man who frequents on elenr nights the plaza of the postofflee. He is a victim of the ten habit, visits Chinatown re n ularly and drinks the special tea which is brewed there at 2'* cents a bowl. He will put away In an evening 15 or 20 bowls, becoming finally ns boisterous and silly as though he had put away as many cocktails, though he will not stagger. lie says ho remembers nothing after the ninth or tenth bowl of tea and that on the day after one of his sprees he has a wretched headache and a sore, parched mouth. He does not drink alcoholic beverages because he dislikes their taste, and ho is a member in good standing of a total abstinence society. An effort lias been made to throw him out of this organization; hut. since he violates none of Its rules, that cannot he done.—rhlludelphia Record. I.n Kni-ite nnd llir Wnltinit Coape. Mr. John La Fargo, the artist who lives at Newport, has all the eccentric ity that Is said by tho wise to he a part of genius. Tho late Bishop Brooks of Boston was very fond of La Farge, nnd they were excellent friends, but Ik 1 lilt off the latter’s eccentricity lu a single sentence. Bishop Brooks nnd a friend Were coming out of a church where the art ist was decorating a great window. The friend walked toward a handsome coupe that was standing in the rain nnd said, “I suppose this is your car riage, bishop?” “Dear me, no!” said the bishop. “I always walk. That’s a livery carriage waiting for I,a Farge.” ‘‘But La Farge,” said the friend, "has 1)1*011 working In the church all day and will continue to work until night.” “I know,” said the bishop, his whim sical smile drawing the corner of his mouth, “but Ln Farge can never work very well unless he knows he’s keeping a carriage waiting for him somewhere.” —Saturday Evening Post. t'onvnlnnl tbe Conference. At the recent session of the Genesee Methodist Episcopal conference in North Tonawandn, N. Y., the Rev. Dr. James R. Day. chancellor of Syracuse university, made n speech of great en orgy in behalf of collegiate education. He grouped together the names of Judges of the supreme court, governors of states, ministers of different denomi nations and other leading men and said, “All of these were college gradu ates.” Then he turned around to Bishop Mc Cabe, who was presiding, nnd said, "From what institution were you grad uated, bishop?” receiving the prompt response, "From Libby prison.” The suddenness and fitness of this re ply from the “Old Chaplain” convulsed the conference. There was round after round of applause nnd much laughter, so that it was difficult for Dr. Day to complete his address.

It educates orphans. It preserves the family. It cultivates saving habits. It lightens the load of care. It gives repose to the rid man. It gives courage to the pool man. It builds a barrier to the alms house. It supports the credit of the business man. It enables a man to live up tc his income. It lays the foundations ol home and independence. It encourages the marriage ol prudent men and women. It keeps embarrassed estates out of receivers’ hands. It certifies to a man’s affec tionate regard for his family. It places the widow above th< need of marrying for a home. It adds to a man’s years by freeing him from apprehension. It saves orphan girls from the necessity of working out. It heightens the esteem id which wife and children hold a man. If you are interested in the above subject call on JONES J. DARBY. Insurance an* Rail Estila JUS'T IIV.
