Bad Taste in the
Mouth
When you get up In the
morning with a coated tongue
and a bad taste In the mouth,
you may or may not be seri
ously ill, but if there is any
disease going, your system is
lust right to catch it.
We know what you think—
first you are half persuaded to
try Vinol, and then you say
to yourself: “ That’s the same
story all the medicines tell; I’ve
heard it before.”
But Vinol is not like other
medicines. If it were, we
shouldn’t be talking about it in
any special way.
If you will regulate your
bowels with Vinlax and take
Vinol to improve your diges
tion and assimilation of food,
these troubles, with the head
ache, “ liver complaint,” neu
ralgia, rheumatic pains, and
nerve troubles will disappear
as by magic.
We pay back the money if it
doesn't help you.

UNION SERVICE^
IN THE THEATRE
Dr. Brougton and Prof. Till
man Arrive.
STAB THEATRE PACKED.
First Service was Held Wednesday Night.
Dr. Broughton Good Humoredly Attacked
the Ways of Some Church People—Chorus
of fifty or More Persons Chosen.
Rt-v. Len G. Broughton, of Atlanta,
ana his singer, Prof. Charles B. Till
man, arrived in the city Wednesday
Great preparations had been made
bv our people for their coming and
Mr. Broughton and Mr. Tillman were
carried to the Commercial Hotel,
which will be their home during the
meeting, which will continue till the
29th inst.
The Star Theatre bad been arranged
for the occasion. All our church
people of ali denominations had
joiucd heartily in the work
The first service was held Wednes
day nig it, bt ginning at 7:80 p. m.
Long before the hour arrived the au
ditorium was packed. Dr Brough
ton preached a characteristic sermon.
It.was full of force, interspersed with
pathos and humor. He good-hu
moredly attacked the ways of some
church people, which he considered
improper, and in a fatherly way
pointed out the proper course to
toem.
A chorus of fifty or more persous
had been chosen which, under the di
rection of Prof. Tillman, furnished
hue and appropriate music and which
was a strong feature of the impressive
services.
All the city clergymen are attend*
ing and are assisting heartily in the
good work.
Dr. Broughton preached another of
his floe sermons yesterday morning
to a large congregation which is be
coming more and more attached to
him and loader and louder in their
praises of him.
At four o’clock yesterday after
noon—three services in one day ! Dr.
Broughton and the brethren that are
cooperating certainly mean business
—at four o’clock he held a service for
Christian workers that was the best
service yet held He spoke on’’Boul
winning, our obligation and prepara
tion.” Fearlessly be atlscked many
of the evils that are sapping the
strength of the churches today show
ing the utter emptiness of some
Christian lives. At the close of the
sermon great interest was manifested
in the work by those present, and
many requests for prayer were made.
Last night the place of meeting
was crowded to its utmost capacity
with the ezceptiOD of the gallery.
Mr. Broughton spoke on the theme
of Power, and his discourse was at
tentively listened to by the vast con
gregation. He did not consider that
the power of a church consisted in its
large membership or the wealth of
the members, but in the piety aud
earnestness of the members. His
discourse was punctured with witti
cism and at times the congregation
was convulsed with laughter. Again
he grew pathetic and his congrega
tion was moved to tears.
Dr. Brongbton possesses a vast
amount of personal magnetism.
There is not so much of the sensa
tional about him as he has been cred
ited with Before the meeting was
commenced Dr. Broughton took oc
casion to correct some erroneous im
pressions that bad gotten abroad con
cerning his methods, and unhesitat
ingly declared that be was here to do
giod and agreed that if anyone bad a
better method than he that be would
exchange methods.
The (doging, under the direction of
Prof CliHS Tillman, grows betterand
better se the choir and congregation
become better acquainted with the
words and music. Prof. Tillman pos
sesses a very sweet tenor voice and
understands thoroughly the handling
of a large choir.
Jumped From the Window of a Sleeper.
Wednesday as the midday passen-
gt r train going South was passing
through Smutsville, a negro village
just South of the city, s white man
jumped out of the window
of a sleeper dressed only in his
underclothing. The train stopped
and took him on board and carried
him on towards Spartanburg. Some
of the denizens of Smutsville said he
was dead when picked up, some said
be was hurt “mighty bad” and others
said he bad on mighty fine “under-
close.”
The man was Frank A. McHugh, a
resident of New York, and was on his
way to New Orleans for the benefit of
bis health.

A Thanksgiving Dinner.
Heavy eating is usually the first
cause of indigestion. Repeated at
tacks inflame the mucous membranes
lining the stomach, exposes the
nerves of the stomach, produces a
swelling after eating, heartburn,
headache, sour risings and finally ca
tarrh of the stomach. Kodol relieves
the inflamation, protects the nerves
and cures the catarrh. Kodoi cures
{□digestion, dyspepsia, all stomach
troubles by cleansing and sweetening
the glands of the stomach. Cherokee

QUIETLY PASSES AWAY.
Another Landmark of Gaffney Has Gone to
HU Final Reward.
Another landmark of Gaffney has
gone to bis final reward. Luther G.
Byars was born in the couuty of 8par-
tanburg. His father, Hurr l ?»»*n B>hi>,
was a leading spirit among the Bap
tists of this section, and this son in
herited from him many strong points
of character.
Luther Stare—though but a lad
during the late war—left his boyhood
home, shouldered his musket and
went to the front As courier to Gen
eral Hampton he served his country
well. The war over, he returned to
his home on Thickety. 8oon he mar
tied Miss Sallie A. Cooper and. after
a sojourn of a year in Georgia, re
turned to Carolina. In 1878 he set
tled in Gaffney when it was hardly a
straggling village. With Mr. B. K
Humphries, for nine years, be was
associated in business, and together
they bu<lt the first store house in the
town.
^Kpr twenty-nine years he has
prominent in the development
of our city. Quiet, retiring but with
strong convictions of duty, be kept
on in the even tenor of his way until
stricken down in his last illness,
which terminated his useful life in
the early morning of the 21st inst.,
in his 59 b year.
A model hueband, father and friend
We also find him an officer in the Sun
day school of the First Baptist
church, prompt in attendance and
faithful in duty. Mr. Byars was
chairman of the board of trustees of
the Gaffney graded school from the
time of its organizatioo and was ever
interested <n the educational interests
of the community. He leaves a
daughter and two sons to mourn bis
loss. Those who knew him best loved
him most.
