is a scurf wlik’li forms on tho scalp or skin of Hie tieait anil comes off in small
. scales or dust. 11 Is the popular name for a disease of the scalp. 1 ho primary
seat of this disease Is the outer skin, hut in the advanced stage It attacks the
hair follicles and destroys their vitality causing it to full out. 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,

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. Kvery bottle is guaranteed, therefore you are free to try it. If

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

willing to serve a suffering public.

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.

MR BAKER INTERVIEWED
Our loca' reporter had un h :ei-
view with Mr L Baker w io li , m en
a contractor and bumb r i< G IT
City for eight or nine ymr- a. u na*
built the principal part of our thnv
ing little town. 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. A* any rate we are willing
