The Russians and The Japs
Are scrapping over some disputed question which the diplomats of these countries could not settle. This war is a long ways off and if it were not for the
enterprising journalists we would know but little about it. But there is a war of a different nature going on right here in your midst which is of vital interest
to the natives of this part of the world. This war is A WAR ON HIGH PRICES, being fought by THE BATTERY for the protection of trading humanity.
We have won every battle so far, and with better equipments for the fray, why shouldn't we win every fight in the future? Our big Battleship is heavily
loaded with the munitions; of commercial warfare, and our big guns are mounted, pointing in every direction, and we are going to SHOOT BARGAINS
OVER THIS ENTIRE COUNTRY. Generals Coffee and McAlister have buckled on their armor and are ready and anxious for the renewal of the fray. Ouf
buyer has just returned from the Northern and Eastern markets and train loads of goods are on the way to our headquarters.

sire in Gaffney for the location and
character of the depot to be changed

We learn that the Southern rail
way company is making preparations
to build a thirty foot wooden addition
to its old board depot in this city.
The old depot, besides being in the
limits where no wooden buildings are
allowed to be built, is an eyesore. To
make this thirty foot wooden addi
tion to the old depot is a flagrant vio
lation of a cjty ordinance, and should
not allowed by the city authori
ties.
A Few Facts.
Longfellow could take a worthless sheet of paper, write a poem on it,
and make it worth $5,000. That’s genius.
Rockefeller can write a few words on a sheet of paper and make it
worth $1,000,000. That’s capital.
We can write a check for |i,000,000 and it would not be worth a dime.
That’s foolishness.
Your wife can buy a suit of Furniture for $10, but prefers one that
costs $50. That’s natural judgment.
There may be Merchants who will tell you that they have better goods
for less money than we have. That’s a natural mistake.
We have a stock of the best made FURNITURE and STOVES that
has ever been brought to Gaffney. We bought it at the very lowest
casli price, and are selling same at a low, reasonable profit. That’s
common sense and business.
Trusting you will realize the importance of the above facts and come
to see us soon, we remain,
Yours for business,

Miss M. Cartledge gives some
helpful advice to young girls.
Her letter is but one of thou
sands which prove that nothing
is so helpful to young girls who
are just arriving at the period of
womanhood as Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound.
“Dear Mbs. Pinkham : — I cannot
praise LytHa E. Pinkbam’s Vege-
tablo Compound too highly, for it
is the only medicine I ever tried which
cured me. I suffered much from my
first menstrual period, I felt so weak
and dizzy at times 1 could not pursue
my studies with the usual interest.
My thoughts became sluggish, 1 had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, I was sick all over.
“ Finally, after many other remedies
had l>een tried, we were advised to get
Lydia E. Pink hum’s Vegetable
Compound, and I am pleased to say
that after taking it only two weeks, a
wonderful change for ihe better took
place, and in a short time I was in
perfect health.** I felt buoyant, full of
life, and found all work a pastime. I
am indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege
table Compound, for it made a dif
ferent girl of me. Yours very truly,
Miss M. Cabtlkdge, 533 Whitehall St,
