Thurnes, a well known coal operator of Buffalo, 0., writes: “I have been afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble for years, passing gravel or stone with excruciating pain.

A few doses started the brick dust like fine stones and now I have no pain across my kidneys and I feel like a new man. It has done me a $1000 worth of good. Cherokee Drug Co.

It is made with loose front and back the revers-fscing of white peau de sole and fancy black and white striped velvet, and on the sleeves as well as above the narrow ruffles, ap pear wide bands of handsome tapes try embroidery. Grelots of jet beads also add to the trimming, and the turn-down collar consists of ermine with bands of the same on the sleevs. Apropos of coats—the latest Eton, the very latest, is double breasted. It is cut V-shaped in the neck, V- shaped in the back, and there are double lapels, one deeper than the other, all double breasted and stiched with Corticelli stitching silk. The sleeves have two capes at the top, and the Eton itself has a frill falling be low the belt in front, thus suggesting a directoire. Then there is an Eton which is very nice and which makes a nice winter garment. It is fastened in the back, as so many winter coats are, while the front is laid in folds to below the bust, where the Eton is cut off The shirtwaist in this case is made with a full, baggy effect over the liuul ut tbe belt Mrs. Fletcher Smith has gone to Clover for a snort visit. \I»*s Bernice Willis, who has been visiting Miss Mollie Robbs, has re turned to her home in Clifton.

The next attraction at Tbe Star Theatre is the Peruchi Beldeni Com pany, which opens a three eights en- gagemer t next Thursday evening. The opening play. “The Hour of Nine,” of the Peruchi Beldeni Com pany, is of peculiar interest at the present moment, as it deals with the stirring times of the Boxer uprising in China, a Couple of years ago, and the same relentless fiends being ou the verge of another outbreak against the foreigners and native Christians at this very time, the rare chance is offered of seeing the scenes and inci dents of this period from a comforta ble opera chair, instead of journey ing to far off China and running the risk of being beheaded by a stalwart follower of Prince Tuen. The com pany has the sole right for this part of the fcountry for this great play, and as it will only be produced once during the company s engagement, those who want to see it, should not fail to attend. A complete scenic equipment is carried, costumes and accessories are correct and in perfect keeping with the place and time. Specialties of a high order between the acts by Mr. Jas. A. Devine, the Rumley sisters. Mr. Art Richie, Mr. Joe H. Lee and others. Mr. Edmund Barrett, a tal ented young romantic actor, takes the leading male part, that of an American mining engineer, who is in China on business, and who in order to shield his friends and the girl he loves, becomes a self constituted courier,bringing relief to the beseiged. The banding, by his own devnisb de vice, of the villian, is said to be the most realistic bit of stage craft ever seen. The Lynchburg Morning News of November 11th says of this Com pany : “ The Peruchi-Beldeni Company be gan a week’s engagement at the op era ho ise by the presentation last night of ‘The Hour of Nine,’ a play that deals with the stirring times of tbe B'ix<-r unrising in Onu.a. Ibe in troduction of many things pertaining to the Chinese and Chinese customs add mucb interest to the production ind yiv*- one u good id a'of the situa tion as relating to the Chinese, the foreigners and the native Christians. In the progress of the story ’here are scenes and incidents full of dramatic interest, while the costumes and stage settings are made entirely ap propriate. Taken altogether, ‘The Hour of Nine’ is a meritorious pro duction and was highly creditable to the company, both individually and collectively. The large audience present was thoroughly appreciative, and their unanimous verdict in favor of the play promises for the Peruchi- Beldeni Company a most successful wetk’s engagement. “Specialties of a high order were introduced between the acts by Mr. James a Devine, the Rumly sisters. Mr. Art. Richie, Mr. Joe H. Lee and others.” Popular nrices, 10 20 and 30 cents, will prevail during this engagement. \fispes Fort, Whitmire and Miller, three of the graded school teachers, have returned after spending the holi days at their respective homes, and are domiciled at Miss .Inez Sur ratt’s. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mrs. A'Ue Lipscomb has returned home from Knoxville, Teun. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ Mrs. Twitty Thompson has return ed home from Richmond, Va.

Money orders issued in 1901 were 2,369 and number paid were 1001. In 1902, 2 465 were is sued and 1,288 were paid.

The secret is out and Gaffney can go on living just as if the riddle had never been asked. No it can’t, either. Gaffney is not going to be what it was before. Its houses are going to bn brighter; its pe pie a little more prosperous—they are going to have some of their money left to buy other things with. Tbe answer to the riddle is this: You can paint a building with fewer gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc paint man with mixed paints, and it will wear several times as long as a build ing painted with lead and oil mixed by hand. There’s proof abundant of it all over the United States. There will soon be proof abundant of it in Gaff ney. What will people do with the rest '( their mnnev ?

C., Aug. 25, Ml Gentlemen—Some six years ago I began to have sciatica, and also a chronic ease of muscular rheumatism. At times I could not work at all (my business being baggage master on Southern R. K.). For days and weeks at a time I could not work. My suffering was intense. Physicians treated me. withoutpermsnent relief, however. Tried a number of advertised remedies without permanent benefit. Finally I tried “ Khkdmacide." It did the work, and I have bad ex cellent health for three years. I can cheerfully say that all rheumatics should use “ Rheum a ox de," for it Is by far the best remedy. R. A. LOMAX.
