A BEAUTIFUL LIFE ENDED. ‘way back and Gee whiz! Didn’t South Carolina go Democratic? * * * * What’s the matter ton? She’s all right. with Cbarles- * * * * What’s the matter with Richland? Don’t the people down there know the war has ended? * * * * John Gary Evans can go to Wash ington if he likes, but not as a Senator from South Carolina. * * * * Let us all forget our disappoint ments and put our shoulders to the wheel to make Cherokee the garden spot of the universe. We can only do this by a united effort on the part of all. * * * * Congratulations to the successful candidates are in order, and The Led ger makes Jits obeisance, wishing each and everyone of them a success ful term of office and much genuine happiness. * * * * There is no mistaking the fact that the people voted in the last primary without regard to past factional af filiations. Reason is beginning to regain her throne. An effort was made to disrupt the contentment that prevailed, but the effort was a t dismal failure. * * i* * B Heyward swept Colleton so clean that it looked as if a cyclone had passed through. It is indeed a flat tering honor for a man to be able to command the confidence of 98 per cent, of the people among whom he resides. Surely Mr. Heyward has reason to feel proud. * * * * Congressman Latimer, the seed distributer, goes to the U. S. Senate, because of John Gary the people were leary; besides, he isn’t so great. They all say Clinch bad an easy cinch on the governorship, and that Congressman T. only heard the buzz of the bee, while trying to make the trip.—Original, by gum! * * * * As between Butler and Sarratt for Senator we had little choice. But ler possesses more ability while Sar ratt possesses more reliability. We preferred the reliability but got left. We are not a bit sore and sincerely trust Mr. Butler will meet the ex pectations of his friends and surprise his enemies by making the county a truly loyal and noble senator. This be can do if he will bridle bis con ceit and arrogance. * * * * The second primary is over and it was perhaps the hardest contested election for senator, clerk of court and county supervisor of any ever held in the county. The forces of each candidate seem to have been well organized and to have done their best work. The election, however was a most orderly one and since it is over the best of good feeling seems to prevail. The successful candidates accepted the honors in a dignified way and the defeated candidates sub mitted gracefully to the mandates of the people. * * * « It is very evident that T. B. Butler is a better politician than R. C. Bar ratt. Be it said to Butler’s credit that so far as we have been able to learn he conducted his campaign on a high plane, in fact much higher than we ever expected he could, while Sarratt or his friends stoopec to at least one little thing that they should not have stooped to, and that was circulating the report that Mr A. X. Wood had given Butler (500 to conduct his campaign. Anybody who has the slightest acquaintance with Mr. Wood knows he would not do such a thing. Mr. Wood would Miss Sarah Elisabeth Goodwin, a Young Lady of Sweet Personality, Dead. IGreenvllle News.l “It was the closing of a 'beautiful life when the spirit of Miss Sarah Elizabeth Goodwin left this world yesterday morning for the ‘home, beautiful and eternal.’ Miss Goodwin, who has been living in Gaffney for several months, was taken sick three weeks ago with ty phoid fever. Two weeks ago, when the disease manifested serious symp toms, ic was decided to bring her to Greenville, where she could have the skilled nursing and attention which was possible at the Greenville Sani tarium. All that loving care and science could do would only mitigate but not stay the fatal progress of the disease. The end came yesterday morning at 4 o’clock. Miss Goodwin had a number of rel atives in Greenville and hosts of friends whose hearts are saddened by this sad seperation. She was a young lady of strong and sweet personality, possessing the fac ulty of making friends of those with whom she associated, either in busi ness or society, and by the strength and loyalty of her nature retaining the friendships so won. For several years Miss Goodwin was one of the most popular young stenographers in Greenville. She ac cepted a position last spring with J. C, Jefferies, of Gaffney, where she has made her home since. During her residence of three and a half y°ars in Greenville and during previous visits to the city she was a social favorite, her cordiality and bright intellect making her a welcome member of any circle. The deceased was educated at the Winthrop Normal and Industrial Col lege of Rock Hill. She was a daugh ter of the late Dr. H. P. Goodwin. During her residence in this city she became a member of Christ church of Greenville and was a constant at tendant upon its services. Besides a devoted mother she leaves eleven brothers and sisters. The body of the deceased was taken to her former home at Lima, this county, yesterday afternoon,. where the funeral services will be held in the Baptist church today at 12 o’clock, conducted by Rev. A. R Mitchell, rector of Christ church. The inter ment will take place in the family burying ground.” The above announcement will shock Miss Goodwin’s host of friends in Gaffney. She had not lived with us long, but her fine character, bright intellect and sparkling beauty, had made all our people her friends, who deeply feel their loss in the death of this charming young lady, and who extend to the bereaved family their sincere sympathy. The only kind of consump tion to fear is “ neglected consumption.” People are learning that con sumption is a curable disease. It is neglected consumption that is so often incurable. At the faintest suspicion of consumption get a bottle of Scott’s Emulsion and begin regular doses. The use of Scott’s Emulsion at once, has, in thousands of cases, turned the balance in favor of health. Neglected consumption does not exist where Scott's Emul sion is. Prompt use of Scott’s Emul sion checks the disease while it can be checked. Send for free sample. SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemist*, 409-415 Pearl Street, New York, 50c. and $i.oo; all druggists.
