During our recent visit to Charles ton we spent a very pleasant hour in the News and Courier office with our friend Mr. Yates Snowdon, news editor, who is a very pleasant and affable gentleman, and withal a very intelligent man. He tried (as did others) to make the Charleston visi- tors enjoy themselves. We were cor dially received by Col. R. W. Hunt, I). P. A. of the Southern Railway Company, to whom we are indebted for an opportunity to return home by the way of Lancaster and Yorkville, with stop-over privileges. We have had the privilege of exam ining Rev. Wm. M. Foster’s book, “Sermons in Verse.” It is very good. Mr. Foster is well known to many of the people of Cheroke county and his high standing as a literary man, as well as his devotion to the work of his Master, makes the book the more desirable. Mr. Foster married a Miss Sarratt, a sister of Hon. A. A. Sarratt, late of this county. On our return from Charleston we stopped over in Yorkville and spent a day and night with friends in that beautiful little city. Yorkville is one of the most beautiful towns in this State—made so by its splendidly shaded streets and its cool, delightful mountain breezes, to say nothing of its good people. Farm work is getting on nicely. In a few days the cotton will be chopped to a stand and most of the corn thin ned out. The man who is ashamed of his was crazed with the heartless mock ery of Christian people; she became a thief. Of course it was a sin. but we should be merciful with those who are driven to that extreme by poverty and pain. In the eye of the law she* was guilty ami she had to be punished. She has been senten ced to jail. The children must drift with the world. They will cry and mourn, but they will be comforted not, while they will be despised by men and women of wealth ami fash ion whose hearts will not be touched by their affliction. Had she? been left alone in the world Mrs. Riggs would have been honest, but with that human burden on her hands she had to steal. Perhaps some day she may meet a judge who will be merci ful. Good Spirits. Good spirits don’t all come from Kentucky. Their main source is the liver—and all the fine spirits ever made in the Blue Grass State could not remedy a bad liver or the hun- dred-and-one ill effects it produces. You can’t have good spirits and a bad liver at the same time. Your liver must be in fine condition if you would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful, bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and successful in your pursuits. You can put your liver in fine condition by using Green’s August Flower—the greatest of all medicines for the liver and stomach and a certain cure for dyspepsia or indigestion. It has been a favorite household remedy for over thirty-five years. August Flower will make your liver healthy and active and thus insure you a liberal supply religion has no doubt a good right to of “good spirits.” Trial size, 25c; reg- be. ular bottles, 75c.

The body of Miss Flora Stoltz, daughter of Mr. Israel Stoltz. of We-s ley postoffice, Stokes county, was found Friday morning in Bull Run creek, near her home. The lamiiy who are popular in their community, believe that Miss Stoltz committed suicide. She retired Thursday night without eating any supper. She had been in bad health and had been act- ng strangely for several days. Mr. R. H. Carpenter, a country merchant near Silver, in Stanly coun ty, gave leg bail Thursday, when a warrant was served on him by De puty Constable D. V. Kilhoit. A war rant charging Carpenter with seduc tion under promise of marriage was sworn out by Miss Martha Hinson, and immediately served, with the above result. Aside from the charge of seduction. Carpenter is charged with a more serious crime. Mr. Henderson Halaston. of Row an county, an old man about sixty years of age. attempted suicide a few days ago. The affair took place at a very inaccessible newspaper point and the facts were hard to obtain. It seems that the old gentleman had suffered for a long time with Bright’s disease, and in a fit of despondency slashed his throat with a razor. Dr. H. N. Abernathy, who attended him Monday, said he could not recover. Among the long list of graduates of the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore are the names of three North Carolina men: Messrs. Wal ter Brem, Jr., of Charlotte, J. A. Cald well, Jr., of Salisbury, and John R. Carr, of Durham. These young men graduated from the University of North Carolina, after which they spent two years in the medical de partment of the University. They have made fine records at the Johns Hopkins. Mr. J. T. Sapp, a liveryman, of Concord, is in a precarious condition at the Presbyterian Hospital in Char lotte as the result of being struck by No. 97, the Southern's fast mail train, at Gibson’s mill, two miles north of Concord, Saturday afternoon. Mr. Sapp was taken to Charlotte on No. 97 and placed in the hospital. The skull on the back of the head was badly fractured, and several bad cuts were made on the body. Mr. Sapp day. WHY GAFFNEY DRUG CO PUSHES IT. Gaffney Drug Co. Recommends and Pushes Mi-o-na, the Dyspepsia Remedy. “It's a pleasure to sell a medicine when our customers come in after wards and tell us how much good it has done them,” said a member of the Gaffney Drug Co., the popular druggists, to a Ledger man, “and that is why we like to sell and recom mend Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia rem edy. “We have so much faith in this article that we are going to guaran tee it in the future, and will return the money to any purchaser of Mi- o-na whom it does not cure. That may seem rash but our customers have said so many good words in its favor that we do not expect to have many packages returned. "Any one who has dyspepsia, whose food does not digest well, who has to take thought as to what he can eat, and when, can leave 50 cents deposit at our store and take home a box of Mi-o-na and if the remedy does not regulate his digestion and cure his dyspepsia, he can withdraw his mon ey on returning the empty box.” This shows great faith in the merit of Mi-o-na. It is really a most unu sual medicine and the rapid increase in sales since the Gaffney Drug Co. introduced it in Gaffney shows that it does all that it claims to do—cures dyspepsia, regulates digestion and en ables those who use it to eat just what they want and when they want with no fear of trouble. mond, Va., fifteen years, where he conducts the Dr. Daniel Hanitorium for the exclusive benefit of his many patrons.

Mr. R. E. Jones, buyer for Parker & Bridget, whose large department stores are located at 9th and Penn. Are., Washington. D. C., writes under date of April 14, ’04, as follows: Last February, one year, while in New York on business for my house. I caught a severe cold which laid me up for several weeks and left me weak and nervous. I had little or no appetite, and my digestion was very poor. My physicians could not get at the cause of my trouble, as my digestion seemed so much impaired. I decided to try Rydale’s Stomach Tablets, being assured by a friend they were a good dyspepsia medicine. After using them for a few days, I began to realize that I was getting better. I gave up the doctor’s pre scription and have gained 2b pounds while using two boxes of these tab lets. I never felt better in my life, and accredit Rydale’s Stomach Tab lets with having cured me.
