Why Do We Advertise ?
Simply In-cause we feel that the public would like to know the l,est phase of phar
macy—pharmacy as a profession—and. frankly, because we want everybody to know
of and about our store.
Ours Is a modern pharmacy, with modern methods of dotnir business. In the
Belcetion of our ehemleals, as well as our sundries, we exercise the utmost care to buy not
what Is cheapest, but what is best; and to hijrh quality and purity we sacrifice every
other consideration. It Is. therefore, not merely advisable, but Imperative, to patron
ize only such pharmacists as examine, test and analyze thrir own K<’ods ;tnd prepara-
lions, and who deal with irnportliiK and manufacturing firms of the highest repute.
Contractor Baker U Now I'laeliiK Matei ml
on the tlround for the linlhlmtr.
It is gratifying to be able to state
that work has at last been commenced
on the Star Theatre and office build
ing. At a meeting of the board of
directors held in the otfice of Mr. J.
A. Willis Wednesday a resolution
was passed instructing Mr. Baker to
proceed with the work at once. A
call for 25 per cent, of the capital
stock was made some time ago and
nearly all who took stock have paid
in their money. In fact it can be
said that practically every subscriber
to stock has paid in hut one, and
that gentleman will in all probability
pay later, as he is waiting for some
future development that might be a
barrier to bis carrying the stock.
The building, when completed, will
he the handsomest building in Gaff
ney. It will be 66x160 feet, two
stories high. The front will bo of
pressed brick, trimmed with granite.
Plate glass will be used for the win
dows and doors. The front entrance
to the theatre will be an arch with
tiled flooring. There will be two
store-rooms in front on the ground
li tor. Over these store-rooms will
be ten suits of offices, arranged in
the most convenient manner and fin
ished in the most modern style.
There will be a wide hallway leading
from the front to the theatre proper,
which will be in the rear of the stores
and office rooms. The gallery en
trance to the theatre will be from
the Birnie street side, while
the front entrance will be
from Limestone street. The
theatre will have a commodious stage,
a gallery that will seat about 300
and a parquet and dress circle that
will seat about 400 giving it a caoac-
ity of from 700 to 800 people.
The projectors have not yet secured
quite as much stock as they would
like and as the project is in the na
ture of a public enterprise, in which
every man who is interested in Gaff
ney will be more or less benefitted,
they would like to place eome more of
the stock. It is believed that the
enterprise will pay a fairly good per
cent, on the investment and if anyone
desires some of the stock they will do
well to call on Mr. W. C. Carpenter,
the president of the company, at
Carroll & Carpenter’s store, or Mr
A. X. Wood the treasurer at the
Merchants and Planters bank and they
will take their subscriptions.
ANOTHER EMBALMER.
N<*» (iootla Arriving.
Our merchants are now getting in
their fall and winter goods and arn
busy opening them up. marking and
arranging them in proper display.
Most of them have been on Xorth
and returned, and they have gener
ally bought large stocks in expecta
tion of a heavy trade during the fall
and winter \nonths. Look over The
Ledger columns and you will find
where you may get some of these new
goods which are fresh from the north
ern markets
It U our business to dispense healtli-givlng prescriptions in the right way. It Is a
\ d isinoss which we have not learned in a flay, but only after years of hard steady.per-
sistcnt work and study coupled with a desire to know our business In all its branches,

Forearmed.
The liability to disease is greatly
lesseaed when the blood is in good con
dition, and the circulation healthy and
vigorous. For then all refuse matter
is promptly’ carried out of the system ;
otherwise it would rapidly accumulate
— fermentation would take place, the
blood become polluted and the consti
tution so weakened that a simple
malady might result seriously.
A healthy, active circulation means
good digestion and strong, healthy
nerves.
As a blood purifier and tonic ,S. S. S.
has no equal. It is the safest and best
remedy for old people and children
because it contains no minerals, but is
made exclusively of roots and herbs.
No other remedy so thoroughly and
effectually cleanses the blood of im-
purities. At the
same time it builds
up the weak and de
bilitated, and reno
vates the entire sys
tem. It cures permanently all mannei
of blood and skin troubles.
Mr. E. E. Kelly, of Urbana, O., writes:
“I had Eczema on my hands and face fot
five years, it would break out in littl-.i
white pustules, crusts would form and
drop off, leaving the skin red and inflam
ed. The doctors did me no good. I used
all the medicated soaps and salves without
beneiit. 8. S. 8. cured me, and my skin
is as clear and smooth as any one’s.”
tors and friends thought her case hope
less.
Richard T. Gardner, Florence, 8. C.,
suffered for years with Boiis. Two bot
tles of S. 8. 8. put his blood in good con
dition and the Boils disappeared.

once on account of the illness of Mrs.
Shuford; yet he “made up for lost
time" by applying himself all the
more closely and diligently to his
work, and finally won out by a high
average. He will shortly go before
the State board and obtain a license
to prosecute his art in this state. Mr.
Shuford has some gruesome tales to

An Extra Kin** Pumpkin.
Our thanks are due our good friend,
Mr. A. McCraw, of Goforth, for an
extra fine specimen of pumpkin which
he kindly and thoughtfully brought
to the city for our especial benefit oc
Tuesday last.
The pumpkin was of peculiar
growth and of rather uncommon va
riety, though Mr. McCraw was uncer
tain as to its exact name or class. It
had grown in the shape of a crescent,
weighed twenty-five pounds, and bad
a particularly delicious flavor.
Aside from the intrinsic value of
all such things that are brought to
this office, the kind thoughtfulness
which prompts the donors to bring
or send them to us, makes them still
more highly prized and appreciated
by us. This is not the first time that
we have had such substantial evidence
of Mr. McCraw’s esteem and good
will toward The Ledger, and we assure
him that we appreciate bis kindness
to the utmost, and that we are glad
to number him among our best
friends and loyal patrons.
The Atlanta Kxcunilon.
The excursion train from Blacks
burg and Gaffney to Atlanta. Ga.,
passed this place yesterday morning
about fifteen minutes behind the
time advertised for it to arrive. The
crowd aboard was rather small when
the train reached Gaffney, but the
number was increased at this point
by eight or ten passengers, among
them being Rev. A. C. Cree, who
took advantage of the low rate to
visit some friends in Atlanta.
The crowd no doubt swelled consid
erably before the train reached its
destination. The excursion will re
