SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Farmers continue to report a good yield of corn of good quality. The 27th of November has been named by the president as Thanks giving day this year. There does not seem to be a large attendance of Oberokeeans at the fair in Columbia. The Victor Oil Mill Company are fattening a big lot of cattle at their mill in Gaffney. The house we thought would be moved from .Limestone street was only jamed up close to another one. From what we see in the papers Chester county, as usual, has the finest exhibit of live stock at the State fair. Rev. N. B. Clarkson, of Blacks burg, and Rev. W. H. Hodges, of the Buford Street Methodist church, will txcnange pulpits next Sunday. Ex-Mayor Littlejohn has hauled about 200 bushels of corn in from a nearby farm, and had a “shucking” at his home in the city. Rev. L. N. Chappel, of Forestville, N. C., will preach at the Cherokee Avenue Baptist church on Sunday. Services, 11:00 a. m. and 7 :00 p. m. M. J. Porter left the city yesterday for Whitmires, where he goes to do some piping work on the big cotton mill there. Plans are out for other important buildings which are to be built in Gaffney. One is to be pressed to a finish before Christmas. The Adelaide Thurston Company in *‘At Cozy Corners” gave a good show Tuesday evening at the Star Theatre. Those who attended were highly pieased with it. “Uncle Pink” Phillips presented The Ledger with some fine corn meal he had ground at Ross mill in the city. “Uncle Pick” knows his busi ness. While we did not see any snow one of the most reliable men in Cberokee says he saw a num ber of Hakes fall in GalTuey on Tues day afternoon. Regular services at the First Bap tist church on Sunday next at 11 a. m. and 7 :30 p. no. The ordinance of baptism will be administered at the evening service.

The discovery and working of a tin mine just outside the city limits, is an event of great importance, and if it “pans” out as the present show-up indicates that it will Onerokee has a bonanza. Mr. John W. Paris, of State Line, and Miss Martha Coveney, of Cow- pens, were married on the 20rh inst., by Rev. C. M. Teale. These worthy young people have the congratula tions and good wishes of their many friends. Itookrr WiiMhinKtoii'* Work. Perhaps no quality is more charac teristic of the work of Booker T. Washington than the sanity of his point of view. His article,“Problems in Education,” in the September Cos mopolitan deals not only wito the work of fuskogee Institute but with the educational needs of the entire colored population of the United States. The race-problem is not one which can be left to settle itself, and every thinking man or woman should read his valuable contribution to a dis cussion whose importance will in crease rather than decrease in the years to come. *'Tlie Canonic Curse.” It is risking something to ask the public to place a piece of fiction alongside of Poe’s best work. The editor of the The Cosmopolitan ven tures this in the following note, which appears in the September is sue: “One does not often find a story which seems to come in the classification of Edgar Allen Poe’e best work. Yet one might be temp ted to ask such a place for ‘The Cano nic Curse’ which Arthur E McFar- lane contributes to The Cosmopolitan for September.” Some people act like fools and then complain because they are made fun of.

For some time the proceedings in the mayor’s court have been rather uninteresting, but yesterday morning a batch of eleven colored sports were “run in” by the police, and had to answer for gambling.

The ancient Greeks and Romans reveled in roses. They were used lavishly at their feasts. In the time of the republic the people had their cups of Falcrnian wine swimming with blooms, and the Spartan soldiers after the battle of Cirrha refused to drink any wine that was not perfumed with roses, while at the regatta of Baiae the whole surface of the Lucrine lake was strewn with flow’or s.

Gentlemen:—In September, 1899, I took rheumatism In a very bad form. In a month after the disease started I had to give up my work and go to bed. It continued to grow worse until my arms and hands were badly drawn, so much so that I could not use them. My legs were drawn back until my feet touched my hips. I was as helpless as a baby for nearly twelve months. The muscles of my arms and legs were hard and shriveled up. I suffered death many times over. Was treated by six different physicians in McColl, Dillon and Marlon, but none of them could do me any good, until Dr. J. P. Ewing, of Dilion, came to see me. He told me to try your “ Rheumacide.” Ho got me one bottle of the medicine and I began to take it and before the first bottle was used up I began to get better. I used five and a half bottles and was completely cured. That was two years ago, and my health has been excellent ever since. Have had no symptoms of rheumatism. I regard “RheumacidB” as by far the best remedy for rheumatism on the market. I cannot say too much for it. I have recommended It to others since and it has cured them. .. „ 8ay ^ urther « that I began to walk In about six days after I began to take Rheumacide,” with the aid of crutches; in about three months after I began to take it, I could walk as good as anybody, and went back to work again.
