NEXT MONDAY,
Big Batch of Cases to Come
Up Before that Body.
FIVE MURDER CASES.
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.
A Beautiful Young Girl.
Among the many talented members
of E. J. Carpenter’s “Quo Vadis"
Company, none attract more atten
tion than a beautiful young girl,
named Millicent Evans. She is the
daughter of a well known clergyman
in a large Western city. Her unde
niable talent commands 4 be interest
of the audience from her first appear
ance. and her career will be followed
closely by all who witness her charm
ing portrayal of “Eunice’' at the

Delegates to The State 8. 8. Couveutlon.
Mrs. W. H. Smith and Mre. Baxter
Lemmond, of this city were delegates
to the State Sunday School Conven
tion which met this week at New
berry. They left Monday morning
for Newberry and wore expected to
return yesterday or today. Cherokee
could hardly have sent two more
zealous workers in the cause than
Mrs. Smith and Mrs Lemmond, and no
county was better repreesented than
ours.
Pneumonia Can be Prevented.
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

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. '

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
An Aged Man Killed by Ills Horae Fall
Ing on Him.
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. <.
