/ ' ul ( ) Disgusted With Result. Our old friend, Elias Johnson, of Antioch, was in the city Tuesday. He called on The Ledger and re newed. When the Spanish-Ainerican war was going on Mr. Johnson, who as a member of, the 5th S. C. Vol- i^eers in the war between the States, living in Gaffney. He took great Interest in the war, and watched the bulletins closely for the news. When the land battle of Santiago was being fought the result could not be learned the first day, but “Uncle Elias” was at the bulletin board early next morn ing, and when the report was writ ten on it that the Americans had won! he was delighted, but when he read on down to that part of the bulletin which stated the number of the killed and wounded, an expression of utter j disgust came over his face, and turn ing from the board he said, “Huh! ; that ain't no filin’; I’ve seen more j men than that killed In a big scrum-1 mish that never got in the papers;” and after that he seemed to take lit tle interest in the w;<*. The propor tions vvf -e not large enough for him. He had fought on larger fields and today proudlj wears the scars of bat tle because of the justness of his cause. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. The storage building of the Wayne Agricultural Works and the shipping building and hull sheds of the Golds boro Oil Mills, at Goldsboro, with the contents, were totally destroyed Tues- lay afternoon by what threatened to )e another very disastrous fire in that Sity’s history. The fire broke out in the storage room of the Wayne Agri- rcultural Works and rapidly spread ’before a southeast gale to the hull shed of the oil mills. The fire depart ment was seriously handicapped in its effrts because of no pressure, due to low water in the standpipe. Only a change of wind prevented greater destruction and damage. The loss will probably aggregate about $10,000. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol lows: “I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continu ally in back and sides, no appetite, growing weaker day by day. Three physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters; to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cents, guaranteed, at Cherokee Drug Co. fieorge Lee Warren, who was sent to the York chaingang last week for ten years, died Monday afternoon, and his brother, Frank Warren, who was sent up for five years, is criti cally sick. These are the two negroes who were prosecuted in Yorkville last week for assault and battery with intent to kill in connection with their effort to shoot Captain H. L. Boss at Bowling Green one night some months ago. The two negroes were both taken ill with severe cramping, pains, about the same time. A com mon theory is that they took poison , with suicidal intent. Sour Stomach—Heart Burn. Rheumatism. Rub the swollen, painful joint or muscle with Elliott’s Emulsified Oil Liniment.
