The great point to be aimed at in the treatment of the affection is to destroy the cryptogamle parasite, and to eradicate Its germ. For the purpose, MAOKRTIC HAIR. 'FOISIO should be used every other day. (The scalp should be washed with pure tar soap and warm water once a week). It does just what an effective remedy must do-It rids the scaip of ail dandruff or humor; it then softens the scalp and Increases the circulation, and by this means increases the nutrition of the hair follicles.

Bridges & THE SHOEMEN. iwe.ij!;—I EXTRACTS FROM AN OLD PAPER Published in Gaffney Four teen Years Ago. THE WEEKLY BULLETIN. The I’aper Wan Printed and Kdited by Mr. S. It. Britton and Contain* Cooil Matter Which Will Interest Old Resi de n ten In (iaffney. We have before us a copy of the Weekly Bulletin, a paper that was published in this place by F. M. and 8. P. Britton fourteen years ago. The paper before us is dated March 3, 1886. It is a four column four page paper, having a total of sixteen columns, with twelve inches to the column, or a total of 192 inches of space for reading matter and adver tisements. Of thii space ninety-six inches is devoted to reading matter and ninety-six inches to schedules and advertisements. This paper ap peared once a week and the subscrip tion price was $1 a year. The Led ger contains in one issue 504 inches of advertisements and reading mat ter, or for the two issues of the week I, 008 inches of matter, and the price is but $1.50 per year. In other words you get more than five times as much for your money in The Led ger than you did fourteen years ago in the Weekly Bulletin. We append some of the matter of local interest that appeared in the issue before us believing it will be of special inter est to the old residenters as well as informing the younger generation of things that were transpiring at that time: SOME EDITORIAL NOTES. Rioting and drunkenness are daily occurrences al Yorkviile now. The town is without a charter, and conse quently without a municipal govern ment. Charlotte Williams, a disreputa ble colored woman, and step-daughter of Congressman Hmalls, died at Beau fort recently of starvation. Smalls would not assist her. The county correspondents of the News and Courier oitfer widely in their opinion as to the wisdom and justice of the new lien law. The News and Courier devoted consider able space in its issue of the 25th ult , to discussion of the merits and demerits of the act. Why is a newspaper like a pretty woman? To be perfect it must be the embodiment of many types. Its form is made up. It is always chased, though inclined to be giddy. It enjoys a good press; the more rapid the better. It has a weakness for gossip. Talks a good deal. Can stand some praise, and it’s awful proud of a new dress, i The 1'rufcsHiuDii. J. E. Webster, is a practicing law yer and trial justice at this place and is very popular, as the number of cases brought before his court will attest. He has a lucrative legt.1 practice. J. A. Corry is a lawyer of ability and has a legal practice second to none in this section. Mr. Corry rep resented Spartanburg county in the Stale Legislature a few jears ago. ills professional services are in con stant demand. J. C. Jefferies has gained quite a reputation for himself here in the legal field and his professional ser vices are constantly sought after. He has a growing legal practice. Mr. Jefferies is also a notary public. Col. W. Waddy Thomson is a fine lawyer and a speaker of great merit, and stands high in the estimation of his legal brethren. Col. Thomson’s arguments are coherent, comprehen sive, conclusive, and his matchless oratorical powers command for him the close attention that is his junt due wherever he pleads. Squire H. G Gaffney, is one of the best known gentlemen residing in Gaffney City. He is a trial justice and has his office on Limestone Street. The Squire administers the affairs of his office to the satisfaction of all concerned, anc^ is kept very busy all the time THE DOCTOKS. There are five regular practicing physicians resident in Gaffney City— Doctors J W. Westorvelt, H. M. Holmes, W. A. Fort, M. Bonner and J. G. Gaffney. Each one of these gentlemen have a good practice. DENTIST. Doctors J. F. Garrett and W. E Black have each opened dental par lor* in this city and are ready and willing to serve a suffering public. Dr Garrett can be found at his office in the City Hotel building; and Dr. Black can be found at his office next to Messrs. Carroll & Carpenter's store. THE UVKBY STABLES Lipscomb & Bro. proprietors of the City Livery Stables, are doing a good business. Commercial tourists are constantly hiring backs from them for their country trips and one day this week every hoof was pressed into service by these indefatigable travel ers. Messrs. Lipscomb & Bro. have seven head of tine stock, thiee top and two open buggies one phaeton and a hack. They think the signs auHpiclous for an increase of busi ness in the near future. Corry & Hopper commenced busi ness here on February 8, 1886, and have built up an excellent costom in the short time they have been run ning. Drummers will here find fine tournouts polite and attentive driver* and have their orders promptly filled. The firm have between five and ten head of stock and about the same j number of neat and durable turn- I outs. They have between $2 000 and $2 500 invested in their business. Since February 8, nine drovers have put up at their stables, made fair sales and went away satisfied. The Enterprise Livery Stables are at the old stand of J. Q Little. Mr. A H Corry, of the firm of Corry & Hopper, has been deal'ug in buggies and carriage^ for the past three years and In that time ooljr tgrrjjga; $10.10 has been paid out for repci's on all the buggies and - ctmiagey he has sold. His sales last year amounted to $5,000. He still deals in buggies and carriages and expects an increase in his sales this year. All his sales have given entire satis faction. Martin Bishop commenced the livery stable business in 1882 and con ducted it successfully up to the timeof his recent sickness ; but continued ill health has precluded his devoting as close attention to his affairs as he liked and his intention now is to sell out all stock, buggies, carriages *fcc., and retire.

The stables are at the rear of Mr. J. Q. Little’s pool room. Last Saturday our streets were crowded with country wagons loaded with cotton. The Heecy staple com mauds a better price at Gaffney City than at any other point of commer cial importance on the Air Line, or in South Carolina, for that inatt( r. DISGUSTED SONS OK HAM.

The foJiown g qu- s- tions were asked ami Hn*wer< d : Reporter—‘Mr. Baker what do you think of the prospect of build tig improvement in our town the com ing season?” Mr. Baker—‘T think ti e prospect very flattering. I have a considera ble amount of first-class work in view for the spring and summer, alt hough, just at this season of the year, us it lias always been heretofore, there is not much improvement going on, which may be attributed to variou* causes, among which the the uoumumI hard winter, lack of material, and the extreme low price of cotton has caused a temporary suspension of business. Of course tin-re is some work always on hand, such as *mali cottages and general repairing. A boom in building improvements in almost any small town receive its impetus from an influx of capital de rived from agricultural products. We as mechanics are as much inter ested in the success of good crops, and good prices, as the merchant or farmer, for to a great extent the country makes the town. We are surrounded by one of the most varied and best farming districts in the State, and have good shipping facili ties. therefore I can s< e no logical reason why our town should not prosper in proportion to the . uccees of the farming community. Our merchants are live ami en» rg-tio men, and are doing an immense busi ness this Season. A* an ( vui m-e of future improvements this sumnm r I have been assured of the building of several large brick stop*, to accom modate our fust increasing uierc.n- tile business besnhs u large fin- proof wan -house for general storage; and in addition to tlnse some of • ur financial business men pr«d o**- u to establish a naiional b» k jo ur town to accommodate the gr i g demand for an inkti'uiion of tm* kind. Taken altogether, 1 hav-j bet- ttrprcip eta or nu inntam of my busimss than I hive bad (or several years. IJ.uifig my hopes upon the action of the moneyed men of our town I am confident, and will he sat isfied with the result.” Reporter—‘‘What do you think will he the result of our losing the Union, Gaffney City and Ruther- fordton railroad? and do you think it will injure our trade? and to what ex tent?” Mr. Baker—“Sometimes blessings come in disguise and I think this is one of the times in particular. No sir: J don’t think it will injure our trade a particle, for the country through which it is proposed to build the road is one from which we de rive but little patronage, other markets being much nearer While it may be true, that if we had suc ceeded in getting the road to our town probably real estate would have increased in valuation to some ex tent. I doubt very much if it would have hfen in proportion to the cost and we may have n.-iid d'-a ly f ,r our whistle.
