the entire product of a factory when hard pressed manufacturers are willing to sell at a discount to raise ready cash. Then, too, we are always in a position to buy
any bankrupt stock that bobs up at under price, no matter what the size. p.

HE WILL COME.
Senator Tillman Will Reply to Senator
McLanrlu Saturday.
Next Saturday is the day set apart
(or Senator McLaurin to speak at
Gaffney. The Ledger is fully awars
of the fact that there is a good deal
of opposition to Senator McLaurin
in this section. Several petitions
have been circulated inviting Senator
Tillmrn to be here at the same time
and make a speech in reply to
Senator McLaurin, but we hav« not
seen one of these petitions but we
can state positively that Senator Till-
will b*> here. The Ledger would
suggest thdt all who can make it
convenient to do so be in Gaffney
next Saturday to hear Senator Mc
Laurin and Senator Tillman, but
we would advise those who have
more profitable business at home to
attend to that it would bo best to
stay at home and attend to it. We
doubt whether Senator McLaurin will
consent at this late day to a joint
discussion with Senator Tillman, but
the latter will offer to divide time and
an effort will be mad« to arrange mat
ters to the entire satisfaction of both
Senators. In case Senator McLaurin
refuses to divide time Senator Till
man will spake that day. In a
private letter to a friend in this
city Senator McLaurin. says:
* I fear no man in a debate
upon a question upon which I am
posted, but among gentlemen such
matters are generally by mutual con
sent and arrangement. Under the
circumstances it could only be a dis
graceful mud-slinging <. contest.”
From this we gather that Senator
McLaurin would absolutely refuse to
a joint debate, unless the matter can
be arranged between himself and
Senator Tillman before Saturday.
The Ledger would certainly like to
hear a joint discussion, but it believes
it would be discourteous to make an
effort to bring about a joint debate
without the consent of both parties.
Had Senator Tillman been invited
first we would have opposed any
effort to bring Senator McLaurin here
without Senator Tillman’s • consent.
The Ledger cetainly hopes that
there will be no unnecessary
friction about this matter.
Those who approve of Senator
McLaurin’s views have a perfect
right to support him and those who
oppose him have a perfect right to do
so. This is a free country and men
should have a right to think for
themselves.
During Senator McLaurin’s stay
in the city he will be the guest of
Mr. A. N. Wood, on Frederick street.
Mr. Wood's house will be open
to those whp desire to call upon
the Senator while hero and a cordial
invitation is extended to all who may
desire to meet him to calt.
Mr. J. C. Otts has extended an
invitation to Senator Tillman to be
his guest while in the city and it is
expected the Senator will accept, and
if so Mr. Otts will also keep open
house for Senator Tillman’s friends.
"I have been suffering from Dys
pepsia for the past twenty years and
have been unable after trying all
preparations and physicians to get
any relief. After taking one bottle
of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure I found re
lief and am now in better health
than I have been for twenty years.
I cannot praise Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure too highly,” thus writes Mrs.
C. W. Roberts, North Creek, Ark.

CUPID’S WORK.
Mr. VVIlka K. ThouutH himI MUm Vlrglt* Lit
tlejohn Joined in Wedlock Sunday,
Sunday morning at nine o’clock
Mr. Wilks F. Thomas, of this city,
and Miss Yirgie Littlejohn, of Ra
venna, were united in marriage.
The nuptials were solemnized at the
home of the bride’s parents near
Ravenna, and Rev. F. C. Hickson, of
tbis^city, performed the ceremony
which united for life the hands and
the hearts of these happy and worthy
young lovers.
Mr. Thomas is one of our mot-t
popular young merchants, who by
his close attention to business and
by his fair, gentlemanly and courte
ous treatment of his patrons and
customers, lias built up a business of
which he may justly bo proud. Ho
is a warm-hearted, generous and
sociable, young man unassuming in
his deportment, and numbers his
friends by thescore.
His charming bride is the third
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Moses W.
Littlejohn, some of Ravenna’s best
and most prominent people, and she
has long been one of the reigning
young ladies of the neighborhood.
Her personal attractions are many,
and these coupled with her gentle
nature and the numerous amiable
qualities of her heart and mind, form
a combination that will bring per
petual sunshine into the life of the
man whom she has honored with her
hand, and that will make his home a
happy one.
The weather Sunday morning was
dark and gloomy and not at all in
unison with the happy occasion and
the still happier hearts of the young
lovers; but we hope it was not em
blematical of the future which hangs
over the married life of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas. Only a few of the relatives
and close friends of the bride and
groom were present to witness the
nuptials. Mr. and Mrs. Sam W.
Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. James
Scruggs and Messrs. Cliff and D. M.
Clary comoosed the party that went
from this city—Mr. Cliff Clary being
“best man,” while Miss Ella Brown,
of Ravenna, made a charming brides
maid. Mr and Mrs, Thomas boarded
the cars at Pacolet Sunday morning
for a few days visit to relatives in
Spartanburg and Greenville. They
will return to Gaffney this week and
will occupy rooms over Mr.
Thomas’ store.
Their many friends here and else
where wish for them all the joy, hap
piness and prosperity that may be
had in this life. The Ledger espec
ially delights in extending to them
its beet wishes for peace, joy and
love to abide with them throughout
their earthly existence.
A BUSINESS CHANCE.

“One night my brother’s baby was
taken with Croup,” writes Mrs. J.
C. Snider, of Crittenden, Ky., “it
seemed it would strangle before we
could get a doctor, so we gave it Dr.
Kings New Discovery, which gave
quick relief and pcrmaneutly cured
it. We always keep it in the house
to protect our children from Group
and Whooping Cough. It cured me
of a chronic bronchial trouble that
no other remedy would relieve.”

A Deal Closed hy Which “The Kattery”
Changes Hands.
Last Friday a deal was consumma
ted hero by which “The Battery” at
this place, formerly belonging to Mr.
J. D. Collins, of Spartanburg, passed
from the ownership of that gentleman
into tbe hands of Mr. J. C. Ratliff, a
prominent business man of Rocking
ham, N. C.
“The Battery” was opened up in
this city about two months ago under
the very able management of Mr. J.
D. Collins, one of the most prominent
and successful business men in upper
Carolina, and since its advent here it
has been doing a rousing business.
The deal by which it changed proprie
tors had been pending for some little
time, and it is probable that its open
ing at this place was somewhat in the
nature of an experiment looking to
sale of the business to its present
owner, but not until Friday last was
tbe actual transfer made.
Mr. Ratliff, the new proprietor of
“The Battery,” has had years of ex
perience in the world of commerce,
and has been for a long time one of
the most successful and influential
business men of Rockingham, but
lately bis extensive business interests
have required his presence in other
places. He will shortly move his
family to Gaffney and will make his
home in our rnidst, for awhile at least.
We extend to Mr. Ratliff and his
excellent family a most cordial wel
come, and hope that their stay here
may be so pleasant and profitable as
to warrant them in making tbeir home
with us a permanent one.
While Mr. Coliins was not a resi
dent of this city and was only here at
intervals, we felt like we had some
claim upon him, and now that we are
to give him up entirely, we wish him
much success in other fields.
There has, at yet, been no change
in the clerical force of “The Battery,”
and probably will not be, the young
men who opened it here being still
connected with it.
Klackslturg <ir»d«d School to Close Friday
The Blacksburg Graded Schools
will close a most successful session
on next Friday evening, when the
closing exercises will be held in tb j
school building. The program ar
ranged is a most appropriate one,
and shows that Frof. Cameron and
his assistants have been ever watch
ful of tbe interests of the pupils ad
mitted to tbeir care. This completes
Prof. Cameron’s lourth year at
Blacksburg, and there can be no
better evidence that he has given
entire satisfaction than the fact that
he has remained at the head of the
school so long. The Ledger learns
with regret that Prof. Cameron con
templates going elsewhere next year,
and our best wishes for bis success
attend him.
If peoole only knew what wo know
about Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, it
would be used in nearly every house
hold, as there are few people who do
not suffer from a feeling of fullness
after eating, belching, iiatulence,
sour stomach or water brash, caused
by indigestion or dyspepsia. A prep
aration, such as Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure, which with no aid from the
( stomach will digest your food, cer-
{tainly can’t help but do you good,
