A Young white man was killed
Saturday by a negro at a negro “festi-
ble” in the lower part of Union
county. The writer remembers when
all white men of that section were
above attending negro "festibles.”

The Spartanburg Herald looks as
sweet and becoming in its new dress
as a sixteen-year-old girl on Easter
Sunday. The Charlotte Observer
paid it a deserving complime n t Wed
nesday, but we are puzzled to know
whether it was the effect of W hite
Stone lithia water drank by Editor
Caldwell last summer or the idiocrasy
of the linotype, that called our friend
ZacK McGhee, “Zack Mitchell.”
War is on between Russia and Ja
pan. Of course there is no telling
how it will end, but the little Japs
went for the Bears like hornets and
are beating them wherever they
touch them, and we are glad of it.
We know the little Japs feel good
over the victories won over their
powerful foes. We know how the
soldiers of a small army, fighting for
their rights, feel when they whip a
big army of their c n i 1 Dtry’s oppress
ors. ,

Some of Representative Kirby’s ad
mirers seem to be under the impres
sion that it was a slight reflection
upon that gentleman in omitting men
tion of him in connection with our
complimentary reference to Messrs.
Butler and Sarratt in our last issut.
To all who may entertain such au
idea we wish to say it is erroneous.
We simpiy neglected to mention Mr.
Kirby because we did not meet him
while we were in Columbia, he being
at home at the timn on a very im
portant mission. Mr. Kirby and The
Ledger are warm friends, and we as
sure his friends that he is ever watch
ful after the truest and best interests
of his constituents.

The Baltimore fire losses amount
to about $125,000 000, all of which
was invested in business, as the fire
did not touch the residence section—
instead of $40,000,000, as announced
in our last issu'b Fortunate'y rc
lives were lost, although there were
many hair-breadth escapes. Like a
proud and nobl * people they declir.e
outside aid, out should they have
consented the entire country would
have gladly responded to a call for
relief. The property destroyed was
Insured for about $90,000,000, or
about three-fourths its value. Of
course this loss will fall heavily up
on the insurance companies but
that’s what they were established
or—to pay losses incurred by con
flagrations.
With this issue of The Ledger we
will have rounded out oar tenth year.
We have endeavored to perform the
labor with faithfulness. We do not
attribute any success we may have
achieved to any one particular indi
vidual, but to thjB united efforts of
the faithful attaches of this office.
We doff our cap to our constituents,
thank them for their past patronage
and solicit their future favors. We
make no promise for the future other
than that we shall endeavor to dis
charge our duties in a manly, frank
and straightforward manner, inde
pendent but not insolent, serving but
not servile, hoping to merit the con
tinued patronage of the people on a
purely business basis alone. Now is
the time to subscribe, only $1 a year
for a paper that gives you more for
your money than any other newspa
per in South Carolina.

To My Friends in Gaffney:
Realizing the mudd.ed state of af
fairs in regard to the approaching
election for mayor, I have resolved to
withdraw my name as a candidate fo r
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children ?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?

food; the Co 1 Liver Oil in it
Scrofula is bred in the
bone, is transmitted
from parent to child,
the seeds are planted in
infancy and unless the
blood is pufged and pu
rified and every atom of
the taint removed Scrof
ula is sure to develop at
some period in your life.
Seroful i manifests itself in many ways. Swelling of the glands of the
neck and throat, Catarrh, weak eyes, white swelling, offensive sores and ab
scesses, skin eruptions, lossof strength and weakness in muscles and joints.
It is a miserable disease and traceable in almost every instance to some
family blood taint.
Scrofula appeared on the head of my
little errandchild when only 18 months
old, and spread rapidly over her Viody.
The disease next attacked the eyes and
we feared she would lose her sig-ht. Em
inent physicians were consulted, but
could do nothing to relieve the little in
nocent. It was then that we decided to
try S. S. S. That medicine at once made
a speedy and complete cure. She is now
a young laay, and has never had a sign
of the disease to return.

Self-indulgence is the secret of in
digence.
No remedy equals S. S. S. as a cure for Scrofula. It cleanses and builds
up the blood, makes it rich and pure, and under the tonic effects of this
great Blood Remedy, the general health improves, the digestive organs are
strengthened, and there is a gradual but sure return
to health. The deposit of tubercular matter in the
joints and glands is carried off as soon as the blood
is restored t > a normal condition, and the sores, erup
tions, and other symptoms of Scrofula disappear.
S. S. S. is guaranteed purely vegetable and harmless; an ideal blood
purifier and tonic that removes all blood taint and builds up weak constitu
tions. Our physicians will advise without charge, all who write us about
their case. Book mailed free.

It has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria, breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine,
11 on, etc,, stimulate the nerves ami
build up the blood, but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale’s Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels, freein*'
them from all disease breeding mi
crobes. It also kills the germs that
infest the veins and arteries. It drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.
RYDALE’S TONIC is a blood
builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria
destroyer. Try it, it will not disap
point you.
