The candidates presented their claims to the good people of White Plains Monday, to the Mace- doniHiis Tuesday and at Butler they were given a cordial greeting Wednes day. Thursday they all, with their patient hearers, assembled in Gaffney to listen to the Senatorial candidates. Today they hold forth at Ezells and tomorrow they will be with the good people of Maud. Monday there will be a meeting at Grassy Pond from which place the whole force will be gin the movement for the invasion of rhe Cherokee territory across the Broad and will address the dear peo ple of the Iron City Tuesday. Cherokee county is to be congratu lated on the general good feeling and decorum that has prevailed at all the meetings. Not a word has yet fallen from the stump that was calculated to mar the feelings of any candidate or member of the audience. So may it continue. * 1 If anybody has a message for the people of this community he cannot deliver it to them so effectually, so cheaply, so quick ly in any other way as through the columns of this paper. It is the business of this pa per to carry messages of one kind and another into homes. The message will be delivered, too, under favorable conditions, for few persons take up their local paper except in a pleasant and receptive frame of mind. The sign upon the fence board may be good, but it can be seen only by travelers who go that particular road. The message in the local paper carries itself to thousands, no matter by which road they travel. Select your space and put your message where it will do the most good. We, perhaps, can help you if you will but ask us. All Straw Hats in our store worth from $2.00 down, will go at 50c apiece. Call early. Wilkins-Bristow Clothing Co The Clothiers and Furnishers. DEATH DEALING STORM. Mr. Eugene Metz Killed by Falling Timbers at the Supply SHU. The storm yesterday afternoon was the severest that has passed over Gaffney this year. The wind blew hard, the thunder rolled and the lightning flashed and the rain fell in sheets mixed with hail. We have been unable to hear of its effects in the county, but in the city one negro house near Robbs & Baker’s brick yard was struck by lightning and burned up and J. H. Curry’s barn was struck and set on fire, but it was extinguished before much injury was done We fear to hear from the country, but hope for the better. The roof of the supply mill just outside the city limits, was blown off and Mr. Eugene Metz, an em ployee in the mill and a most worthy young man, was killed by the falling timbers. Mr. Metz was a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Y. Metz. He was one of our best young men, was industrious, of strong sterling character and pos sessed of the high characteristics which endears one to bis fellows. He leaves a wife and one or two small children who, with his worthy father and mother, have the sympathy of the entire community. From meagre accounts from the country it seems that considerable property was destroyed, including barns, stables, cribs and other out houses. As yet we have heard of no loss of life outside the city. A big plate glass in O. E. Wilkins front window was shattered by the storm. Atteution, IMcase. We have been requested to call the attention of the voters of Cherokee to the distinction of the two Phillips’ in the race for county supervisor. J. C. Phillips is -‘Cleve” Phillips, while Wm. Phillips is “Cria” Pull- lips. It has been thought best to call attention to this because the two names appear on the omnibus ticket in close proximity and some one not familiar might vote for one thinking he was voting for the other. Telephone Meeting. There will be a meeting of citizens at J. R. Littlejohn’s store Saturday the 30th Inst, for the purpose of for mulating ways and means to build a telephone line from Gaffney to Bar- ratts. All persons interested are earnestly requested to attend. ltas«l>all Saturday. There will be a ball game at Lime stone Springs Saturday, when Con- verse will tackle Gaffney on her home grounds. The game will be called at 4:80 p. m. The public is Invited and a good attendance is desired. Stops the Cough and Works Off the Cold Laxative Bromo-Quinine Tablets cure a cold in one day.
