Ross of Gaffney spent today in the city. He stated that work was getting along very well at his tin mine. The big 250 foot shaft Is being put in. and It is thought that with its aid 1,000 to 1,500 feet of the quick sands will be taken out per minute. Dr. Day, chief of the geo logical department of the govern ment, visited the mine Sunday and seemed greatly interested. Capt. Ross will send a shipment of 25 tons of the ore to Cornwall and Swansea, Eng., to be smelted next week. He realizes net about $425 per ton. The work in the mine on account of the quick sands is dangerous and 27 workmen are engaged and they work in caisons.” Bast Cough J. Q.

It seems to set the skin on fire, and the tormented sufferer rubs and scratches till the flesh is raw and the skin is torn and bleeds. Nothing applied externally does much good, for the disease is internal; the blood is aflame with acid poisons, that are forcing their way through the glands and pores of the skin, causing it to reddafll and swell and break out in splotches, pustules and pimples, froatf which a clear, yellow, watery matter exudes, hardens and dries, and then peels off in scales or fine particles like bran. Eczema kindles fire that water will not quench, and that lotions, salves, powders anal soap cannot smother.

Satisfied THREE DEATHS. Two Mothers and a Young Lady De part This Life. “Mrs. Harriet L. Wilkins, wife of S. B.

The deceased was 47 years of age and was the daughter of John Lipscomb. She was born and reared near Thickety, in Cherokee county. She was a member of the Baptist church and a consisent Christian. She was of a quiet, unassuming dispo sition and possessed those high and noble traits of character that make the true woman. Her many friends will be grieved to learn of her death and extend their deepest sympathy to the husband and children in their hour of bereavement.”—Spartanburg Journal. Mrs. Wilkins was a native of this county, where many of her relatives and friends are living, and was a sis ter of our townsman, Mr. John H. Lipscomb. Her high and lovable character was well known in Gaffney. We extend sympathy to her be reaved ones. Miss Green. Miss Sallie Green, one of the best and most amiable young ladies in the county, died at the home of her pa rents, Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Green, at 10 o’clock p. m., on the 10th inst. Miss Green was possessed of many high traits of character. She was modest and refined, a meek, unpreten tious Christian, and was loved by all who knew her. Her life imparted a good influence that will live always. Her remains were buried yesterday afternoon at Goucher Baptist church, of which she had long been a consist ent member. Her death is a sad be reavement to her family and friends, and a loss to her church and commu nity. But, as one of her friends remarked to us, “This great loss to family, friends and church is her gain." We extend sympathy to the be reaved ones. Mrs. Wilkins. Mrs. Holmes, wife of the late Mr. Wm. Holmes, died of paralysis on the 4th Inst, and was buried at Oak land cemetery on the 6th. She leaves four sons and two daughters to mourn their loss.
