I Courier. to dis- j Perhaps the Stite Fair is far The Cherokee Drug Co. Make ajProposition to the Peo ple of Gaffney. All Intereated are A<1v Ik*m1 to Accept. A man sometimes hesitates play his ignorance, because it is em barrassing. But sometimes the on way to acquire knowledge is to show your lack of knowledge. Now, we have a hankering after the Grover Cleveland wing of the Democratic party. We have always thought Mr. Cleveland embodied that which was honest and patriotic in politics, and we hate to have our faith in him shaken in this manner. We are tot inclined, therefore, to accept the in sinuation of our esteemed contem porary, and at the same time we do not wish to doubt so able an authori ty, therefore we would suggest that the Spartanburg Journal give us, in as concise a manner as possible, the history of this transaction. Please itate when this occurred, and whether or not Mr. Cleveland was directly re sponsible, and also if he profited per sonally by tbe deal. If the Spartanburg Journal will not or cannot give us this informa tion, will the Charlotte Observer take the iibeity of “butting in” and tell us all it knows about it? We want information, no insinuation or guess work, but information. It is ea*y enough to insinuate. We have heard it intimated that Ben Till man stole whiskey rebates. We do □ot know that it has ever been proven on him. We know that Mr. Tillman insinuated that Governor Richardson and others before him had profited by reason of appropriating to their personal use property of the State, were bamboozled by the railroads with free passes, and intimated that the tax payers were being made to sufifer from their extravagance; but when he got into the governor’s office he couldn’t or wouldn’t prove the in- ainuation. It is also a known fact that while governor, Mr. Tillman ap propriated to his personal use, brick made by convicts, oats and other pr r raised on the State farm, sometning that no previous oc cupant of the governor’s mansion bad ever done; that he accepted pass No. 1 issued by Bamboozler Bunch McBee, and that he shipped products from his home at Edgefield to Colum bia on a frank issued by the Southern Express Co. But we are getting of! the track. What we started out to do w^s to ask for information concerning the Spar tanburg {Journal’s insinuation, and having done that, we should have stopped; but we couldn’t resist the temptation to illustrate how easy it was to make an insinuation without being able to prove it, even after one had been placed in a position to do so. We hope, however, our Spartan burg friend will have better luck, not that we desire Mr. Clevaland convict ed of malfeasance in office, but be cause we would dislike to see that paper placed in a false position; and we know that if it cannot sustain its charges it will act well the part of a man and apologize to Mr. Cleve land and bis admirers. ■ ; enough to the good to get its print- y ing done at home hereafter.—Aiken Journal and Review. Thanksgiving turkeys will roost too high for the man of meagre purse this year, but that is the sign of ••prosperity.”—Columbia State. John Murray Dowie, the father ol John Alexander Dowie, “Elijah II,” is said to be heartbroken over his sou’s repudiation of him. Ic strikes us “he ought to be thankful for that.”—Iveowee Courier. There is much flippant talk about the so called farmers’ trust, but the farmers are going on serenely and organizing societies everywhere it is possible to start up any interest. In the end they will have a combi nation that won’t seem so much of a joke to many who are making fun of their efforts at present.—Durham Sun. Down in South Carolina it was held in a recent trial that it was an evidence of bad character for a man to vote the Republican ticket.

So Mach Like a Spiritual Preacher. I Baptist Courier.] The decision of Rev. W. M. Vines to remain with the First church of Asheville has caused great rejoicing in that city. He felt it his duty to decline a flattering call from the First, church, Wilmington. The Asheville Citizen, speaking of the event, says: “During his pastorate here the church has paid o£f a debt of nearly $20,000 and installed a magni ficent pipe organ, and the church has been organized and developed along all the lines of growth and expansion as never before. Many members have been added to the church and its con dition is perfectly harmonious and spiritful, and the outlook is brighter and more promising than ever before. Mr - ifited that he did not see how he uouid get the consent of his mind to leave Asheville and the church which has treated him so royally and which he loves so well for any other field, and only a sense of duty and a distinct impression of divine guidance would induce him to accept the call to Wilmington.” “Dam Vlvlmus Vlvmnu*.” (While we live, let us live.) “Do not keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tendernees sealed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their ears can hear them, and while their hearts can be thrilled and made hap pier by them. The kind things you meant to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowers you meant to send for their funerals, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have alabaster boxes laid away, full of fragrant perfumes of sympathy and affection, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, and open them, that I may be refreshed and cheered while I need them.” It is predicted that this fill and early winter will he a very trying time for all persons in ill health. Know, therefore, that we, the Cherokee Drug Co., of this city, do hereby agree to furnish all the medi cine necessary to restore to health any sick persons in Gaffney. Should the medicine fail to accomplish what we guarantee, it will be absolutely free. Let every person who is run-down, weakened from any cans*, sickness or pulmonary disease—old people— nursing mothers—pale, debilitated women and children, or those troubled with hard colds, hacking coughs, or incipient consumption, come to our store and get a bottle of Vinol, yes. two or three bottles, and il it does not accomplish what we guarantee it will, we will without question refund every dollar they pay us for it. We have seen such wonderful result from Vinol and have received so many un solicited testimonials that we know what it will do. This is a fair and square offer, hon orably made, and with the expectation that it will be accepted by all people in ill health in Gaffney. If you don’t already know what Vinol is let us tell you Vinol is the modernized preparation of cod liver oil. It does not contain a drop of oil, yet it positively does—mind you, we give you our word tor this—it positively does contain every one of the fifty odd medicinal curative ele ments which are taken from fresh cod’s livers. We have now been sell ing and recommending Vinol for a long time, and without hesitation we say it is the grandest and best rebuild er of bodily strength and health we ever bad in our store. Don't you think you had better ac cept our offer? Cherokee Drug Co. THINGS THEATRICAL. Tho SritHon Fully Launched—Koine (iood Ouch.

There is nothing so repulsive looking and < : -gu.-ting as an old sore. You worry over it till the brain grows wearv an ’ work with it until the patience is exhausted, and the very sight of theol 1 festering, sickly looking place makes you irritable, despondent and desperate. A chronic sore is the very best evidence that your blood is in an unhealthy and impovci ished condition, that yourconstituliou is breaking down under f the effects of some serious disorder. The taking of strong medicines, like mercury or potash, will sometime; so pollute an l v tin e t'.-e blood and im pair the general system that the merest scratch or bruise i ,ult sin obstinate non-healing sores of the most offensive cha n ter.
