The Worst Form. Multitudes are singing the praises of Kodol, the new discovery which is making so many sick people well and weak people strong by digesting what they eat, by cleansing and sweeten ing the stomach and by transforming their food into the kind of pure, rich, red blood that makes you feel good all over. Mrs. Cranfill, of Troy, I. T., writes: "For a number of years I was troubled with indigestion and dyspepsia which grew into the worst form. Finally I was induced to use Kodol and after using four bottles I am entirely cured. I heartily recom mend Kodol to all sufferers from indi gestion and dyspepsia.” Take a dose after meals.

Gentlemen :—I have had eczema over thirty years, have tried many remedies prescribed by various physi cians, but to nothing has the disease yielded so quickly as to Liquid Sul phur. I think if used properly it is undoubtedly a specific for eczema. I have prescribed it for others with most satisfactory results.

Another ridiculous food faa has been branded by the most competent authorities. They have dispelled the silly notion that one kind of food is needed for brain, another for muscles, and still another for bones. A cor rect diet will not only nourish a par- t'cular part of the body, but it will sustain every other part. Yet, how ever good your food may be, its nutri ment is destroyed by indigestion or dyspepsia. You must prepare for their appearance or prevent their coming by taking regular doses of Green's August Flower, the favorite medicine of the healthy millions. A few doses aids digestion, stimulates the liver to healthy action, purifies the blood, and makes you feel buoyant and vigorous. You can get this relia ble remedy at Cherokee Drug Co. Get Green’s Special Almanac. Lots of men go short on fiction be cause it is stranger than truth. Forty Years’ Torture. To be relieved from a torturing dis ease after 40 years’ torture might well cause the gratitude of anyone. That is what DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve did for C. Haney. Geneva, O. He says: "DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve cured me of piles after I had suffered forty years.” Cares cuts, burns, wounds, skin diseases. Be ware of counterfeits. Cherokee Drug Co. Some women are good looking until after they find It out. Never Ask Advice. When you have a cough or cold don’t ask what is good for it and get some medicine with little or no merit and perhaps dangerous. Ask for Foley’s Honey and Tar, the greatest throat and lung remedy, it cures coughs and colds quickly. Cherokee Drug Co. Some men never give up until after they break down. A Word to Travelers.

The geological survey is complet ing an exceedingly interesting work on the origin of names in this coun try. When completed the work will be the most exhaustive of its kind to be had. The derivation of the names of many historical places and cities and towns in the United States is given. The state of Alabama derives its names from au Indian trine. There are several explanations of the mean ing of the word. One autnoruy says it is "burnt clearing,” and otners say it is ‘here we rest.' 1 Still another authority says it is "thicket clearers.” Albany, N. Y., was named lor the Duke of York, whose Scotch title was the "Duke oi Aioany.” He was af terward James II, of England. Alaska takes its name from an In dian word meaning “great country” or ‘‘great land.” Alton, III., was named by Rufus Easton, its founder, for his sou Alton, while Altoona, Fa., derives its name from the Latin word altus, "high.” The word Appalachirn, the general appellation of the mountain system in the southeastern part of this coun try, was given by the Spaniards un der DeSoto. Tney derived it from neighboring Indians. Authorities differ as to the meaning of the word, one saying it comes from the Carib word apaliebe, "man another that it is from the Muscogee word apala, "the great sea or the great ocean.” Arkansas causes a diversity of opin ion from scientists. Marquette and other French explorers wrote the word Alkansas and Akamsca, from the Indian tribe. The usual etymolomy derives the name from the French arc, "a bow,” and Kansas, "smoky water.” Various other derivations are put forward. Asbury Park was named for Fran cis Asbury, the pioneer bishop of Methodism in America. Several towns in the southern states bear his name. Atlanta, Ga., was designated by that name to show its relationship to the Atlantic ocean, with which it was connected by a railroad. Atlantic, as applied to the ocean, is from the Greek word meaning "sea beyond Mount Atlas.” Bar Harbor, Me., gets its name from a sandy bar, visible only at low tide. Baltimore is named for Lord Balti more, who settled the province in 1635. About even the historic city of Bos ton there is wide difference of opin ion. By some its name is said to have beeu given in honor of John Cotton, vicar of St. Bodolph’s church in Boston, Lincolnshire, England, and one of the first clergymen coming to this country.Others say it was nam ed before the arrival of John Cotton, but got its name from Boston, Eng land. Brooklyn, N. Y., a corruption of the Dutch name Breuckeleo, from a village in the province of Utrecht, Holland, and the name signifies brok en-up land or marshy land. The word Butte, as applied to sev eral cities and towns in the country, is from the French word butte, mean ing "a small knoll or hill.” llorrll>l<* Accident In Charlotte. Monday morning at Atherton mills, in Charlotte, Mr. R. Frank Horn- buckle, overseer of the card room, met with a horrible death by being caught by a belt while in motion, in an attempt to replace it on a pulley. Before the machinery could be stopped his oody was revolving around the shading twelve feet from the floor, causing almost instant death. Life was extinct when he was removed from the belt. On examina tion it was found that his neck was broken aim his right shoulder dislo cated, other wi.-p not disfigured. The deeta-ed .eaves a wife and two children. The oody was taken to Concord, N. o., for burial. A Gaffney Girl Married. M iss Eunice Peeler,.eldest daughter of Mr. nod ilrs. W. A.

We clip the following flattering notice of Rev. A. C. Cree from The Greensboro, N. C., Telegram of the 13th inst. "In the absence of Rev. W. C. New ton, who is holding a revival meeting at Gaffney, S. C., Rev. A. C. Cree, of that place, preached yesterday at Washington Street Baptist church. His sermon yesterday morning was from John 10:10: “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” It was a characteristic of life, the preach er said, to thirst for greater life. Every person has his goal in one form of life or another. The physical life has its goal in the highest develop ment of the body, the intellectual life in the highest development of the mind, the spiritual life iu the highest development of the soul. When Christ came into the world there were three great world forces—the Roman empire, which was the physical ruler of the universe; Greece, where intel lect ruled supreme and where the mind of man reached a stage of devel opment that had never been reached before or since ; the Israelitish race which represented the spiritual side of the life of the time. But despite the existence of these great world forces it was a dead world into which Christ came and shed life more abun dantly. Christ was not satisfied to give life—he came to give it more abundantly. The revivifying influ ences of which the coming of Christ the cause were fittingly described by the speaker who closed with a dis cussion of the life which Christ brought. It was au interesting and eloquent sermon and was heard with close attention throughout.” ANY CHURCH or parson*. age or institution supported by vol untary contribution will be given a liberal quantity of the Longman & Martinez Paints whenever they paint.
