Queer Law Case.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
IN LOWER CHEROKEE
From Our Correspondent
Etta Jane.
a
W'
Not long ago a trial was re
ported where a man sued a
medicine concern which had
offered $100 for a case their
remedy could not cure. The
man had taken the remedy but
had not been cured. The
defence was that he had not
taken the medicine long enough.
He did not get the $100.
We allude to this because we
want to show that Vinol does
not give a slippery guarantee.
If the user comes back with
his empty bottle and says, “I
can't see that it did me any
good,” we say, “Scr.y you
happen to be among the few—
less than two in one hundred—
here’s your dollar! ”
Vinol is a non-secret pleasant
compound of cod liver oil,
(greatest medicinal food
known), iron, and mild table
wine.

Our p oblem in last Tuesday's
paner was correctly answered by Mr.
H. M. Mayner, of Cowpens. and also
June H. Carr, of Gaffney. The form
er being the first was entitled to the
paper three months. There were
several other answers sent but they
vere incorrect. The answer is 112!1-
27 bushels of corn.
Here is another for which wo offer
a three-months subscription for the
answe r. A man bought 63 head of
cattle and sold 4 9 of them at a
profi* of 15 per cent., 1-7 at a profit
of 50 percent., and the remainder at
a loss of 25 per cent. If he gained
$17.47 by the transaction what did the
cattle cost him per head?
The storm last Monday night
caused some people to think over
their f ast lives. It’s a very bad
someth ng that there is no good at all
in.
Mr. W. C. Kirby is miller at
Thomp. on’s mills, now, and gets a
good deal of grinding to do.
We can’t help again calling
attentb n to "Mr. World and Mis?
Church Member, the famous 20th
century Alleg'. rv.” No one can read
this boi k without being greatly in-
eres’iec; in it, and we hope rot a
single reader of this paper will let it
pass. If you do, dear reader, you
will miss the greatest work of the
age.
It would be a great pleasure to
give extracts trom it. But to get it
all is the idea.
We will be pardoned for quoting
what the “Presbyterian Journal” has
to say about it:
‘This book is sure to have many
readers. Written in a vivid style,
after Bunyan’s ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,’
it describes the experince of a nomi
nal professor of religion, Miss
Church-Member, who starts on the
narrow way. but comes under the in
fluence of Mr. World, and is beguiled
into the broad highway of worldly
conformity. The Satanic devices
which deceive so many formalists are
portrayed with alarming vividness.
The delusive power of sin in blinding
the eyes of believers and swerving
them from God and duty so that they
imagine the spiritual life to be nar
row and prohibitory of true enjoy
ment are presented in such a way as
the tendencies of our age demand
This book has a present mission, and
should open the eyes of Christians to
the perils by which they are sur
rounded.”
We are sorry to think that high
waymen are getting a foothold in our
county. The “hold up” of our
colored friend, Emanuel Littlejohn,
the other night will cause people to
be on the look out. Emanuel is a
good, inoffensive, hard-working color-
1 ed man—one of which his race may
well be proud—and no doubt it was
thought he had money of which these
vagabonds intended to relieve him.
There are too many loafing, disrepu
table, irresponsible people running at
large over the country and it’s right
that people be on their guard.
We are informed that bodies of
men of all colors, can be found at
certain gambling rendezvous almost
any Sabbath, and such is the class
from which spring the army of high
waymen that infest the county, yet
nobody seems disposed to want to
put a stop to their work. J. L. s.
