We trust that the campaigq now on la the state and county, will be con ducted on such a high plane tbat no ^unpleasant recollections of it will remain after it is over. Ellistt, Hemphill, Johnson and Henderson, candidates for U. 8. Senate, are making a strong cam paign on broad lines and hare thus far not indulged in any unpleasant * or acremoDloui language towards their competitors. , /' ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ^ Evans and Lattlmer are quareMing in the senatorial campaign.

Wilkins have secured the services of Col. M. Wil ber Dyer, representing the great mill end syndicate. The Wilkins store was closed all day yesterday (Mon- day), preparing for this great event and Col. Dyer is here today per sonally conducting the sale. For weeks preparations have been going on getting ready for this sale. Now what is the mill end sale? nat urally asks one who has never atten ded this sale. It is a practical de monstration of the way the overcon- geeted mills dispose of surplus mer chandise. In the olden times the mills took stock and the remnants were charged to profit and loss ac count. But the scrap heap got too large and represented too startling a proportion of capital to let go to waste. Col. Wilber Dyer, the wizard of the bargain counters of Gotham, saw in this an opportunity. He or ganized the mill end syndicate and bought up all the remnants of these great mills, and today he opened here his second mill end sale and his six hundred and fortieth since his concep tion of the enterprise. Col. Dyer is here in person at the Parish Hotel to conduct tbie mon ster sale. He has just returned from his fifth annual trip abroad, where < be has Introduced American methods : and vindicated American push by conducting a series of phenominally successful sales in the big cities of Europe. Even in the great mill cities of England he has given the staid old manufacturers over there a , practical example of what can be ac complished by American enterprise and American methods. Polite and incisive busy, Colonel Dyer finds time to receive reportere and friends and to give attention to the minutest details of his wonderful . business. He believes no country in j the world offers the possibilities of eur own to the young man who does the business In his station thoroughly , —who is fair and rquare with all , interests intrusted to him and who lives cleanly in habits, thoughts and morals. We are slad to see Col. Dyer again in Gaffney and hope be may come often. | In Memorlan. ’ On the death of little Winnie Davis v McDaniel, which took place July 6tb, ^ 1902 age one year, five month and J Sixteen days: The little crib t» empty now, The little clothe* laid by - A mother'* bone, a father'8 joy lu (loutn'M cold arm doth He. do little pllarlm to thy home On yonder bllsnul shore, We miss thee he-e. but soon will come Where thou art none before. Hickory Grove, July 11,1902. ext sermon of this series will cached next Sunday night at from tho text "Thou shalt not ke the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.” Ex. 20:2-3, ‘‘I am the Lord thy God * * * * Thou shalt have no oth er gods before me.” In hie introduction Mr. Cree said, “If men were faithful in obeying this commandment they wonld, keep the other nine. It is because men do not put God first tbat they fail to keep the other commandmente. Dividing the commandments Into sec tions, the first four, man’s doty to God; the remaining six man’s duty to man; be showed how perfect ie this division for if we are faithful to God we will be faithful to our fellow- men. The worebip of false gods makes false men. No man can rise above bis idol. No man can be bet ter than bis god. Mr. Cree then made a oareful an alysis of the words of this command ment showing the meaning and rela tive bignificance of the Hebrew words translated “Lord” and "God.” The word translated “Lord” is composed of three Hebrew words meaning re spectively, “He will be,” “He ie,” “He was” and so Jehovah ie the eter nal, personal, self-existing Supreme Being. “The e«me yesterday, today and forever.” Next he diecussed the command ment in its application to the chil dren of Israel. How much they needed it. He traced the idolatrous influences by which the Israelites were affected, showing tbat they came originally from Padan-aram in idolatrous Mesopotamia; tbat they bad just (before God gave the Tea Commandments escaped from poly theistic Egypt where there were al most as many gods as there were vil lages, towns nnd fftmilies; and that they were thee on their w*y to dwell in idolatrous Canaan, the land of Baal, Mammon and Moloch. How much they needed such a command ment. Even as Jehovah was giving the Decalogue the Israelites on the plain below Mt. Sinai were worship ping a golden calf. Their bietory ie a history of running after false gode, and not until Jehovah sent them captives to Babylon for seventy years did they learn and obey the com mandment “Thou shalt have no oth er gode before me.” Sioce then the Jews have had no other god. Then Mr. Cree proceeded to con sider tbie commandment in its appli cation to the people of today. He said, “It applies to ue because every man needs a god, and be ie going to have one, if he lias to make one.” Even Voltaire said, “If there were no God, it would be necessary to in vent one.” Every man has some shrine at which he worebipe. The most degraded races have had some sort of gob. Some men today make a god of mone, somey of,worldly pleas ure, some of fashion, some of self; and they worebip them with ail their heart, with all their strength, with all their mind, and them only do they serve. It is as impossible for a man to live without an object of worebip as for a fish to swim 'without water. Rev. G. Campbell Morgan says, “All life is worship * * * • * The ques tion is whether the life and powers of man are devoted to the worship of the true God or the worship of a falee one.” “Again, tbie commandment applies to os because of the false gods ebroad in the land. No need to search heath en lands for false gode, America ie foil of them. In the Bible we read of the cruel and degrading worship of Moloch, the bestial and licentious worship of Baal and the selfish wor ship of Mammon. These forme of worship are not extinct. They are with us goday. Moloch ie still wor shipped by the conscienceless em ployers who greedily grind out the life’s 'blood gOf helpless employees. The worship of Baal is more common, and ie manifest in the thousande of fallen women who tramp the streets of our cities, to say nothing of the dark deeds of so-called society. The awful sacrifice of character, purity, life aud soul in this lustful and damn ing whirlpool of impurity is nothing short of Baal worship, and, alas, my God, we do not have to go outside of Gaffuey to find it. Mammou is still worshipped. The greed of gold still governs the hearts of many. Men are still worshipping the golden calf. Fashion is often a god. Some women give more time and attention on Sun day to what they wear than they do to the good God who gives them the day with all ite privileges. Some meo think more of a fast horse and a smart rig, or a cigar and a Sunday newspaper, than they do of the wor ship of the God above whose bounty they live from day to day, not only breaking this commandment but also that other oue which says/ ‘Remember theSabbatb day to keep it holy.” In conclusion Mr. Cree set forth as the strongest reason w h y meo and women of today should heed this command that “Jehovah alone can satisfy and save the soul. Is gold r Began HI* Series of Ser- rTen Commandments San- Large and Appreciative your god? You never get onongh. Is sinful passion your god? It is a consuming fire. Is worldly pleasure your god? You are never content. The God of the Bible alone can satis fy.” As Paul sajs, “We know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is none other God but one God, the Father, of whom are all things.” A boy mischievously broke the largest idol of a heathen household ; and when questioned by bis master as to how it happeoed suid, “Is it not possible that the small idols united and destroyed him?” “No,you little fool,’’said the man,“an idol can do nothing,” “Then,” said the boy, “how can you expect an idol that can’t help itself to help you.” The man thongbt as he never thought before and finally sought the only true God. So la it with all idols. Is gold your idol? A panic may sweep it away. Is worldly passion your idol? It cannot satisfy today the de sires it created yesterday. Jehovah alone can satisfy. Jehovah alone Is to be worshipped. “No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else be will hold to the one and de spise the other; ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Ye cannot serve God and the world. Ye cannot serve Christ and self. It is as Impossible as it is to go east and west at the same moment. ‘ ‘Choose yon this day whom ye will serve.” Listen tonight to the words of Jehovah, “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. purpose of register E. J. Green showed us a singularly deformed egg Friday. Baker and Cooper begun to dig ont the foundation for the new city ball Friday and will he laying brick in a day or two. Thomas H. Lockhart, was elected Chief of Police by the city council last night, vice B. F. Camp, resigned. J. H. Carry, began laying brick on his new business bouse on Limestone street yesterday. It w<U be iron and pressed brick front. There will be a meeting of the yonng men at the Court House to night for the purpose of organizing a military company. Mrs. I. W. Wingo, wife of Dr. I. W. Wingo, died at Campobello last Wed nesday and was buried Thursday eve ning. The county board of registration will be at Blacksburg ou the 28th inst.,andat Cherokee Falls on 29th, for the voters. The Southern Railroad filed a mortgage in the Clera’s office in this county last week for $18 000,000. The fee for recording it smounted to a little ovor $28 00. In the absence of the pastor Car- roll Varner will conduct the prayer meeting tomorrow night at the Meth odist church. Young men- are es pecially invited to be present. ' Robt. Kaiser, who was so badly mangled by the train at the Southern depot ten days ago, is doing very well. His leg was amputated yesterday by Doctors Crawley and Steedly. He seewrs to have stood the operation very well. He rested well last night and his parents think be is doing very well this morning. The many friends of St*. J. C. H* Duff and family deeply sympathize with there account of the sudden death of his son James at Blacks burg yesterday. Mr. James Duff was a prominent business man at Blacks burg and his death will cast a gloom over a large circle of friends in this and bis home city. Norman L. Prince, of Wofford Col lege, spent Sunday in the city with friends. Mr. Prince is a great Ej- worth League worker and delivered an able address before the senior Epwortb League here Sunday after- noou and a strong missionary talk in the Buford Street Methodist church Sunday evening. H. M. Johnson, of Cheraw, who recently bought an interest in the Live Stock Compaoy has moved his family to the city and is now oced- pying the Oscar Lipscomb cottage on Fredrich street. We welcome Mr. Johnson and his family to the oity and trust tbat bis coming to Gaffney will result in him realizing bis most sanguim expectations. , Mr. and Mrs. Paul V. Gaffney and their children and Mrs. Sam Hop per, Jr., left the city yesterday for Piedmont Springs, where they will spend several weeks. Piedmont Borings is in the eastern part ofCber- okee county, near King’s creek and while the healing powers of its water have been long known, it is only recently that this spring has attained prominence. It now has quite a number of visitors and proper ac commodation will make it a leading up-country health resort. A Uontie Hint. In our style of climate, with its sudden changes of temperature—rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in a single day—it ia no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from ns by neg lected colds, half the deaths resulting directly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee’s German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will pre vent serious sickness, a large doctor’s bill, and perbapa death, by the use of three or four doaea. For curing Con- aumption, Hemorrhages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Croup, or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, its success is simply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you.

Hon. W. H. Edwards, of Chester, is chairman of this Confederate Dis trict, and I have been appointed chairman for Cherokee county. I have appointed Felix Davis and Ira Hardin for Cherokee Township, Moses Wood and D. A. Thomas with others for Limestone Township, M. M. Tate for Draytonviile Townahip, T. M.

Mr. Neal is trying to Interest tbs ginners in meking prompt reports to the government on the outputa of their ginneries. If all the ginners will do this then the gov ernment will be able to make accur ate reports of the crop. The govern ment will issue three reports during ths season, the first tbs middle of October, the second the middle of December and the last at the close of the eeason. With these reports issued regularly the farmers would have something more reliable than Neale’s (of New Orleans) reports which he makes for the sole purpose of benefitting European buyers.

It is best to be sincere, as a family in Germantown recently found out They bad been entertaining a distinguished novelist from abroad who was not alto gether acquainted with society’s way of saying things it does not mean. The time came for her departure, and as the host was banding her to the cai^ riage be said very courteously, “I am sorry you cannot stay longer.” To which came the unlooked for re tort ‘‘Oh. but I cau!” There was only one course open. The trunks were taken down, the carriage sent away, and. to the consternation of her hosts, the lady re-entered the bouse.—Philadelphia Times. Red Snow. In the arctic regions early explorers were astounded to find large areas of red snow, but the phenomenon is now familiar ti men of science, who know that red snow, like a green garden fence, is due to the presence of unicel lular algae, the only difference being in the coloring matter of the protoplasm. It is said that acres of snow are fre quently covered In a single night by these tiny plants.—Good Words, The Climate.

Advertising it called by some an art. If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In a store where the employer sella goods side by side with his clerks it is me that the employer will not be the beet salesmen. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments cany weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.
