The secretary of State Saturday issued a charter to the Sanders Mer cantile Company, capitalized at $3,000, and to the Bishopville Dry Goods Company, both of Bishopville, the latter being capitalized at $0,000. A letter has been received from Col. Gadsden, the chairman of the board of visitors of the Citadel, stat ing that the commencement exercises cannot be held in Columbia as was planned. The cadets will go to St. Ixruis and from there return to Char leston where the exercises will be held on June 30. All of the arrange ments for the exercises in Columbia could not be carried out. The State board of equalization has concluded its labors and has an nounced the assessments upon cot ton mill property in this State. The total shows an increase of $3,200,000 over last year. The increased income of the State on the 5 mill levy will be about $10,000. The total amount of taxable property as represented in the assessments of 1003 was $34,557,- 705, and for the current year $37,- 702,000. Col. J. C. Haskell Saturday brought suit before Magistrate McMaster, of Columbia, against the Seaboard rail road for $80, the commercial value he places on an opaline ring he is said to have lost in a berth on the road while making a trip from Washing ton to Columbia in April a year ago. He missed the ring when he arose for breakfast and left his berth to go ^ to the dining room, returning to his berth to find the ring missing. In the circuit court in Charleston Saturday two large suits were filed— one for $10,000 against the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, and the other for $5,000 against the Con solidated Street Railway Company. The plaintiff In the former case, Ethel Needleson, alleges injuries and nervous shock in a collision some time ago at Otranto, on the occasion of a picnic, while the other plaintiff. G. A. Hughes, alleges that a trolley started off before she alighted from the car. By the accidental discharge of a parlor rifle, in the hands of his young brother, Friday afternoon little Ralph Edwards, six years of age, of Ander son, was shot through the head and fatally wounded. It was not thought that he would live through the night. The child is a son of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Edwards, of Monterey, Mexico. Mrs. Edwards and family are spend ing the summer in Anderson with Mra Edwards’ mother, Mrs. Mary Brown, but Mr. Edwards is in Mex ico. The family is one of the oldest in that city and the news of the ac cident shocked every one. The secretary of State Thursday chartered the Greenville and Knox ville railroad, having a capital of $25,000. The road runs through Greenville county, and Hugh H. Prince, off Greenville, is president, William H. Patterson, vice-president and treasurer, and D. C. Patterson, secretary. The last two are Atlanta capitalists. In the original applica tion for a charter it was stated that no passenger trains would be run, but the secretary of State struck out this clause as the railroad commis sion has the power to say whether or not they shall be operated. Mr. Henry Evans, a machinest at the cotton mills in Newberry, com mitted suicide Friday night by tak ing an over dose of laudnum. Mr. Evans went to that city from Athens, Ga., seven years ago. He leaves a wife and one child. Dr. J. M. Kibler, the attending physician, made the following statement: “This is to certify that I have examined the body of Henry Evans, and that I was in attendance with him before his death, and that he came to his death from the effects of acute alcoholism and opium poisoning.” The coroner’s verdict was that he came to his death by an over dose of laudnaum by his own hands. He died in front of the opera house on the pavement at 11:57 p. m. A four-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Lucas, who live in the Tavora mill quarter of Yorkville, died last week as the result of over indul gence in whiskey. It seems that the child’s parents had been accustomed to giving it whiskey almost as it pleased, and during the day its father gave it some XX corn and its mother gave it some rum or gin. Later it wanted more and because it was re fused seemed to jrow quite angry; but presently remarked, ‘Tg junk.” and fell into convulsions. Dr. W. G. Whate was sent for and did what he could to revive the unfortunate little fellow, but was unable to accomplish anything Not only had the child taken more whiskey than its system could stand, but there had elapsed sufficPent time for the alcohol to be- t come assimilated in the circulation and the paralysis that followed was complete. There has been no official investigation of this rather unusual case. People You Know and People You Don’t Know.

JEFFERSON DAVIS’ BIRTHDAY. MOVEMENTS OF THE PEOPLE OF LOWER CHEROKEE. Personal Paragraphs Concerning Pop ular People and Short Items of General Interest. Etta Jane, Juno 4.—Farmers are well up with their work. They have had but little hindrance this year, so far. The weather, since the begin ning of the plow season, has been such that the plows could run nearly all the time. In fact, we have had hut little rain since the flood of last June, and the ground is and has been comparatively dry all last win ter. The oat and wheat crops will he rather light from present appear ances. In most instances people have fair stands of cotton, but the cut worms have played havoc with corn on the low lands, especially. Mr. W. A. Whisonant says that peo ple ought never to plant corn during the month of May. It usually comes up in the very nick of time for the hud worms to ruin it. That planted in April, and even March, generally gets large and tough enough so as to escape the ravages of the worms; while that planted late in May or in June doesn’t come on until the weather gets too hot for the worms. The chaingang has been at work on the roads in this section this week. They have now gone to Grin- dal Shoals to grade the road to the new bridge. We hope, however, they will soon return and fix the road near Salem church, which is well-nigh im passable and dangerous. Mr. Smith Rains is in charge of the gang. Misses Ethel and Jessie Strain have gone to spend the day with Mrs. Capt. W. D. Alexander, of Lawn. From all appearances, we will have plenty of cotton blooms long before the 4th of July this year. Where it has been properly worked out in time the plants are large and healthy looking. From what we learn there are many tax executions out against peo ple in this community who have re ceipts. Usually the treasurer and auditor gets the "cussing” when this state of affairs prevails, when really they are not to blame one time In one hundred for it. It’s traceable to the careless way some people have of making their returns to the auditor, or of allowing some one else to do so. These irregularities are apparent to every thinking man, and it’s not nec essary for us to go into a detail of the whys and wherefores just here. Miss Amanda Bratton is still alive, but can’t hold out much longer. She has lived beyond the expectation of her friends and physicians. Some people have been sick this week with slight attacks of bilious ness. But there Is nothing serious that we hear of as yet. Mrs. Morgan Millwood has not been quite so well. She called in the doc tor last Thursday to se her, and she Is better now. Our friend, Mr. Tlllet Hartford, is getting along finely for one of his op portunities. He has a helpless in valid mother to take care of and he is doing so with a pleasant sense of duty. The dirty, lazy, low down scoun drel of a son (or daughter, either) who will neglect his poor old father or mother when they are powerless to help themselves can afford to do anything that’s mean and low down. Since the rains last Monday we are having potatoes and snap beans to eat. The potato bugs are at work on the plants. Most of the lowlands where the hud worms have destroyed the corn have been replanted this week. In speaking of the election of teach ers and officers of the Salem Sabbath school, by some means the name of N. J. Blackwell, secretary and treas urer, did not appear In the printed report. The various classes elected their own teachers. There will doubtless be some wheat to cut next week. From all appear ances it will be ready. J. L. S. Appropriately Observed in Gaffney by Moses Wood Chapter U. D. C. Jefferson Davis’ birthday was prop- perly observed in Gaffney Friday un der the auspices of the Moses Wood Chapter of the Daughters of the Con federacy. At 11 o’clock the chap ter assembled in the Star Thea tre which had been generously tendered for the occasion by Manager Knox and soon there was a large j gathering of obr people in the audi- ! torium. The veterans to receive the South- I ern Cross of Honor were seated on the front row of seats. They were i W. G. Austell, David Bailey, Chas. T. Bridges, W. J. Blanton, B. F. Bonner, G. W. Bonner, W. D. Camp, L. B. Davis, Thompson Eubanks, R. M. Jolly, Mrs. A. E. Lipscomb, for h‘*r husband, W. Smith Lipscomb, P. D. Phillips, Newton Rains, J. W. Self, S. R. Thackston, P. S. Webber and W. C. S. Wood. The meeting was opened with prayer j by Rev. W. R. Potter, when the choir, composed of Misses Lillian Wood and Eva Ross, and Messrs. Chas. Hames and Joe Osborne, sang “America.” Miss Agnes Littlejohn then read the rules of the Daughters for presenting crosses. The crosses were then pre sented to the above named veterans by Mrs. W. L. Brown, after which “The Bonnie Blue Flag” was sung by the choir. The speaker of the occasion was then introduced. Mr. Osborne’s address w’as appropriate and up to his usual high standard. At the close of the address little Misses Lula Mae Littlejohn and Vivian Sarratt played “Dixie.” Prof. W. F. McArthur, a veteran who wears badges on his body placed there in battle, and Col. W. D. Camp, a veteran known of us all, made short addresses. Col. Camp, leaning on his crutches while he spoke to the Moses Wood Chapter, presented an interesting scene, and his words of patriotism and love made it a pathetic one. The little girls then played “The Blue and the Gray,” after which the whole auditorium sang “America,” and adjourned. THROUGHOUT THE TARHEEL STATE TIN AT BUFFALO. IN A Young Gaffney Physician Interested in the Ore in That Section. Buffalo, June 3.—Dr. Jefferies, of Gaffney, comes over to Buffalo occa- j sionally. He is indirectly interested in tin mining. The young lady who is attracting his attention is pretty, : and her father fondly cherishes the i hope that he has a tin mine on his place. The doctor had better take an I option at once before he has opposi tion. Young ladies with interests in tin mines are no drug on the matri- i monial market.

DYSPEPSIA REMEDY THAT CURES If Mi-o-na Does Not Cure Gaffney Drug Co. Will Refund Your Money. Among all the remedies In Gaffney Drug Co.’s popular drug store there are few that they are willing to sell on a guarantee to refund the money if they do not cure. Ml-o-na, the fa mous dyspepsia remedy, has made so many cures among their customers that Gaffney Drug Co says: “If this remedy does not cure you, bring hack the empty box and we will cheerfully return your money.” Anyone who has dyspepsia, indiges tion, headaches, dizzy feeling, or liver troubles, should take advantage of this chance to he made well without any risk of (spending their money to no purpose. Mi-o-na will cure; will regulate the digestion: will enable anyone to eat what he wants. If it does not do all this, the medicine will not cost you a cent. Gaffney Drug Co. has sold a great many boxes of Mi-o-na in the last few weeks and has yet to receive the first complaint from any customer. Such a record is simply marvelous and speaks volumes for the merit of the remedy. It Is easy enough to fill a column with the symptoms afflicting those who have dyspepsia, but there is no need of describing their condition. What they want is a cure. And they have it in Ml-o-na. Do not suffer a day longer with disordered digestion. If Mi-o-na cures you it costs 50c a box, and if it does not, you have the Gaffney Drug Co.’s personal guarantee to return your money. Ry- Nervous Dyspepsia Cured by dale’s Stomach Tablets. Mr. R. E. Jones, buyer for Parker & Bridget, whose large department stores are located at 9th and Penn. Ave., 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 20 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. I can recommend them, most heartily, to sufferers from nervous indigestion and general run-down conditions of the system. 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- A report from Boone is to the ef fect that Thursday Will Hamby (who shot Boone Potter of Potter’s Town), shot and killed Jno. O. J. Potter, a cousin of Boone, after John had cut Hamby in a number of places. Ham by is now in a dangerous condition from the cuts and not expected to survive. George A. Summers, charged with defaulting with $1,800 of the money of the Singer Manufacturing Compa ny at Greensboro, has been located at Bloomington, 111. The chief of po lice of Greensboro was notified by the State’s attorney of Illinois. An attorney went from there to Raleigh Friday to procure requisition papers. Messrs. W. L. Howie, T. B. La- ney, J. A. Williams, B. A. Horn, H. J. Bivens. B. T. Fletcher and W. H. Porter, of Monroe, have received no tice from the authorities in Washing ton that they are each to receive $114.28 for the capture of Lang, Wood. Wilson and Rogers, the safe crackers who robbed the postoffice at Greers, S. C., about 16 months ago, and were captured near Monroe. A reward of $200 each was offered for the arrest of the safe crackers. In the Federal Court in Raleigh Saturday Charles C. Jones, of Golds boro, convicted of having and con cealing stolen postage stamps, know ing them to have been stolen, was fined $500 and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. His attorneys made great efforts to get the im prisonment part of the sentence re mitted. Judge Purnell finally remit ted the imprisonment and increased the fine to $3,500. It Is said friends of Jones offered to pay a fine of as much as $10,000 if the imprisonment was remitted. The contempt proceedings of Fed eral Judge Purnell against Editor Josephus Daniels, of the Raleigh News and Observer, w'ho has been in custody since Monday for refusing to pay a $2,000 fine, were dismissed Fri day and Mr. Daniels was released. The habeas corpus writ was heard by Judge Jeter C. Pritchard, the new Justice of the 4th district, who came from Washington for that purpose. United States Marshal H. C. Dockery brought Mr. Daniels into court at 3 o’clock. A great crowd was present to hear the case. Col. Kenneth M. Murchison, a re tired capitalist and prominent citizen of Wilmington, died suddenly of heart disease Friday night at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Shirley Carter, in Baltimore. He left Wil mington only three days ago in the best of health. Col. Murchison was 73 years of age. He was born in Cumberland county. In 1853 he graduated from the University of North Carolina. He was colonel of the Fifty-fourth North Carolina In fantry. Hokes Brigade, and served with great distinction throughout the war. A rather unusual case has been be gun in Charlotte by Mr. J. A. Bell for Mr. J. E. Davis, who will sue the Dover Yarn Mills, at Pineville, on account of the arrest and imprison ment of Mr. Davis. Davis went to Pineville recently and, he alleges, that hardly had he stepped from the train when he was arrested at the in stance of the owners of the mills, who charged him with trespass and with trying to agitate or induce the operatives to leave the mills. Ht was kept in jail about twenty-four hours, and he will ask for damages from the defendant company on this account. ryman to leave the boat on this side of the river so he might cross some time during the night; but he became so much concerned about something that it took him until Monday morn ing to reach the river. Come hack again, doctor. Always make your self at home when on this side of the river. We are having a “tin craze” over here; every crank is looking for it. There is supposed to be a vein con necting the Ross mine with Kings Mountain, but so far it remains one of the hidden mysteries of God. Per haps it is reserved for future genera tions. There is a good, pious old deacon over here who thinks there is tin on his place. A few days ago an old sinner approached him and said, “Mr. Deacon, I hope there isn’t any tin on my place. A few weeks ago I had the tin fever and a bad case of it, but I am convalescing now. I almost w’ent crazy over tin. I just thought I would rather own a tin mine than anything else except a seat in the Kingdom of Heaven; but after a few weeks’ sober reflection I have concluded that if I owned a tin mine I would lose all chances for a seat in heaven. A man can’t have a treasure here and there both.” Bachelor. TO ALL CATARRAH SOFFERERS Hyomei Guaranteed to Cure by Gaff ney Drug Co., or Money Refunded. The popularity and increase in the sales of Hyomei are unique in the an nals of medicine. Such astonishing cures have been made by this re markable remedy that the proprie tors have authorized Gaffney Drug Co. to sell every package of Hyomei under an absolute guaraTUee that it will cure catarrh. If it does not, the purchaser can have his money re funded by Gaffney Drug Co. Hyomei is no ordinary remedy. It is the only method of treatment that sends by direct inhalation to the most remote part of the air passages, a balsamic air that destroys all ca tarrhal germs in the breathing or gans, enriches and purifies the blood with additional ozone, and makes permanent and complete cures of ca tarrh. The complete Hyomei outfit costs hut $1.00 and consists of an inhaler that can be carried in the vest pocket, a medicine dropper and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler lasts a life time, and if one bottle does not cure, an extra bottle of Hyomei can be ob tained for 50 cents. It is the most economical of all remedies adver tised for the cure of catarrh, and is the only one that follows nature in her methods of treating diseases of the respiratory organs. Breathe through the inhaler for a few minutes four times a day and your catarrh is cured. That’s all. If not cured Gaffney Drug Co. will refund your money. A Beautiful Sermon. A preacher in Kansas the other day delivered a brief but very beauti ful funeral sermon. Here it is: “A word to you all. Post mortem praises and love are in the air. People kiss their dead who never stoop to kiss their living; they hover over open caskets in hysteric sobs, but fail to- throw their arms around their loved ones who are fighting the stern bat tles of life. A word of cheer to the struggling soul in life is worth more than the roses of Christendom piled high on the casket covers. The dead cannot smell the flowers, but the liv ing can; scatter them broadcast in their pathway, therefore, and pluck out the thorns before it is too late.” George W.

Friday morning about 6 o’clock a collision occurred at the railroad crossing in Sanford between Sea board passenger train No. 31 and an Atlantic Coast Line local freight.

The rear end of the freight’s caboose was torn en tirely away, and the left side of the passenger engine from the cylinder hack to and Including the cab, was pretty thoroughly dismantled.
