Is Cherokee's Record at This Term, Two Continued and Three New Ones—.lodge Townsend Presides- Some of the Cases to he Tried. The spring term of the court of general sessions will begin in Gaffney next Monday, March 4th, with Judge I). A. Townsend iu the judicial chair. There are about twenty prisoners in jail here awaiting trial, and with the cases continued from the October term, the docket will be a pretty heavy one. There are five murder cases to be tried at this court, two continued from last term and three new ones; though it is very probable that the case of Perry and Gaffney for killing William Marsh last week will not come up at this term. Jim Byars, the negro who killed another negro at Star Farm a few days ago, is still at large—should be be cap tured before court the number of murder cases will run up to six. The lawyers from neighboring towns who have business In court have already begun to arrive, and others who have no business will very likely be present. * The usual crowd of spectators will of course be here and trade will no doubt be brisk with the merchants during the week. The restaurants and eating houses especially will do a good business. The following Is a list of the cases continued from the October term: The State vs Clifton Smith for as sault and battery with intent to kill. This case resulted in a mistrial be fore and was continued until this term. Smith Is represented by Messrs. Butler & Osborne. The State vs. W. Ellis Ray for as sault and battery with intent to kill. This also was a mistrial. Messrs. Bell and Willis are the de fendant’s attorneys. The State vs E. B. Wilbur for as sault and battery with intent to kill. Mr. J. C. Jefferies represents the de fendant in this case. After these comes the case of Nero Littlejohn for murder. Nero was ar ranged at the ^October term and found guilty of manslaughter. Motion for a new trial was made and the case was continued. Messrs. Butler & Os borne represent the defendant in this case. A case that will very likely attract a great deal of attention is that of Geo. L. Wilson for killing Charlie Hughes at Blacksburg several months ago. The details of that killing are already familiar to our readers, and the public generally, in this section of the country, and friends of both sides will he on hand to hear the evi dence and watch the progress and course of the trial. The next murder case is that of the State against James Jeter. This resulted in a mistrial at the October term and will therefore be the second trial of Jeter. Jeter is defended by Mr. T. B. Butler. The State vs J. L. Perry for dispos ing of property under lien. The State vs William Robinson and Thomas Quinn for using abusive lan guage to an officer. The defendants in this action are represented by Mr. C. P. Sims, of Spartanburg. The State vs N. Lipscomb as coun ty supervisor, rule to show cause, etc. An order was issued at last term requiring respondent to carry out the recommendations of the grand jury, or failing therein, to show cause why he should not be attached. £R. C. Clary, appellant, vs Town Council of Gaffney, respondent. At the last term judgment was reversed in this case and case remanded for new trial Capt. J. B. Bell represents the appellant. Messrs. Butler & Osborne, of this 'dty, and J. A. Mooney, Esq., of Greenville, have been engaged to de fend Perry and Gaffney, and they form a strong combination. They will, in all probabhity, have the case put off until the fall terra. The docket is so heavy that it will hardly be cleared up during the two weeks allotted for the holding of this session; and some of the cases will either be oontinued till fall, or ao ex tra session will be called to dispose of them.

This disease always results from a cold or ao attack of the grippe and trftr be prevented by the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. That remedy was extensively used during the epidemics of La Grippe of the past few years, and not a single case has ever been reported that did not recover or that resulted in pneu monia, which shows it to be a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy has gained a world wide reputation for its cures of colds and grip. For sale by Cheroaee Drug Co. A SUDDEN DEATH. Mr*. SliiRgle Curroll Died of Heart Failure Monday Night. One of the saddest deaths that we have had in our city for some time occurred Monday night about eleven o’clock when Mrs. Maggie J. Carroll was suddenly called to her reward For two weeks or more prior to her demise this .good lady had been troubled some with smothering spells, and often could not sleep at night on account of them. Monday night, however, she seemed in per fect health and retired about nine o’clock. Later on she began to ex perience another one of her old spells and coughed to such an extent that she bad to get up. After getting out of bed the coughing grew worse and it soon became difficult for her to breathe. She asked her husband to fan her, but that gave her no relief, and she rapidly grew worse. Neigh bors were hurriedly sent for, but before they could reach her she had expired.^Her husband was alone with her, save for their three little chil dren, the oldest of whom is only nine years of age. This one he sent to arouse the neighbors. Up to about two weeks before her death Mrs. Carroll had been in good health, and even the occasional smothering spells were not thought to be serious. The direct cause of her death was attributed to heart failure. Mrs. Carroll was the beloved wife of our esteemed fellow townsman, Mr. J. J. Carroll, a daughter of Mr. J. G. Holt and a sister of our popu lar merchant, Mr. D. J. Holt. She was just thirty-one years of age and had been married just ten months and seven days, the ceremony hav ing been performed on April 18th, 1900, at her father’s home near Buffalo. She was the second wife of Mr. J. J. Carroll, and while she had no children of her own, she was a devoted mother to the three Mr. Car- roll had by his first wife, all of whom will sadly miss her love and tender care. Mrs. Carroll was a faithful member of the Baptist church at Cherokee Falls, though she hud for some time been contemplating mov ing her letter to Gaffney. Every body who knew her will attest the fact that she was a good Christian woman, and she was no doubt fully prepared to meet her Redeemet. The remains were taken to Antioch church for burial and there laid to rest in the presence of the bereaved husband and many sorrowing rela tives and friends. Mr. Carroll and the child r en have our deepest sym pathy. Made The Host Shut With HU Hand. Barney Clary was in the lower sec tion of the county last week hunting cattle for his meat market. While roaming about he discovered a covey of birds on Simpson Blanton’s place. Simpson saw some one prowling around and going out to investigate he discovered Barney. Simpson went back to the house and got his'gun and the two started out on a hunt, each having a gun. For some reason their marksmanship was not of the fiist order and the best that either could do was to wound a poor little defense less bird. The bird could not fiy but ran along on the ground and first Barney would shoot at it and then Simpson, but neither could hit it. Finally the bird ran up under a ledge that overhung a hollow. The bird was in plain sight and Barney becom ing tired of shooting and bitting nothing, said to Simpson: “Hold on, Simpson, and let me throw a rock at him,’’ and suiting the action to the word he picked up a rock end threw it. The first went wide of the mark, but the next one laid his bird- ship low. Theie are a good many bad shots in this county, hut we will bet soda water that there are few of them that can throw straighter than they can shoot. ' Dr. Bull'* Cough Syrup ha* nave cl many a life.

Mr. Samuel Hannan, an old man who lived near Pacolet, came to hla death in a rather peculiar manner Tuesday. Ho had ridden into Paco let on a horse which was quite old and feeble, to make some purchases. On his way home his horse fell and threw him into a ditch and then fell on top of him, crushing the old man to death. No one saw the fall, but he was soon discovered and the horse taken off of him. He was nearly dead when taken out of the ditch, and soon after breathed his last without having regaiffed conscious ness. Mr. Harmon was about seventy- five years old, and had lived near Pacolet all his life, in company with a sister who is seventy years of age. The old man had many friends and no enemies, and it is a matter of re gret that he should lose his life in such a manner. Poison oak Poison ivy are among the best known of the many dangerous wild plants and shrubs. To touch or handle them quickly produces swelling and inflammation with in tense itching and burning of the skin. The eruption soon disappears, the suf ferer hopes forever; but almost as soon as the little blisters and pustules appeared the poison had reached the blood, and will break out at regulai intervals and each time in a more aggra vated form. This poison will loiter in th« system for years, and every atom of it must be forced out of the blood before you can expect a perfect, permanent cure. Nature’s Antidote FOR Natnrc’s Poisons, is the only cure for Poison Oak, Poison Ivy, and all noxious plants. It is com posed exclusively of roots and herbs. Now is the time to get the poison out of youi system, as delay makes your condition worse. Don’t experiment longer with salves,washes and soaps—they never cure. Mr. S. M. Marshall, bookkreper of the Atlanta (Ga.) Gaa Light Co., was poisoned with Poison Oak. He took Sulphur, Arsenic and various other drugs, and applied externally numerous lotions and salves with no benefit. At times the swelling and inflammation was so severe he was almost blind. For eight years the poison would break out even- season. His condition was much improve i after taking one l>oUle of S.-ft. S , and a few buttles cleared his blood of the poison, and all evidences of the disease disappeared. People are often poisoned without knowing when or how. Explain your case fully to our physicians, and they will cheerfully give such information and ad vice its you require, without charge, and we will send at the same time an interest ing book on Blood and Skin Diseases. <.
