The first county campaign meeting
was held yesterday at Blacksburg and
when we heard from it at 2 o’clock
everything was going on quietly and
nothing sensational was expected to
occur. Each candidate was saying
his piece in regular campaign style
and meaning it for a vote getter of
course.
The Gaffney Brick company has
closed a contract Wednesday with L.
Baker to do the brick work on his
new brick store house which he is
going to build next to the W. Sam
Lipscomb block, on Limestone street.
Work will be begun at once. It will
be pressed brick and plate glass
front and of most modem finish.
Developments in Gaffney and in
the county are still attracting out
siders to the city. Several have been
here this week looking at city pro
perty and enquiring about county
property with a view of purchasing
solely as investments. Keep coming,
friends, Cherokee county and Gaff
ney, her capita] city, are good places
to put money. It grows In both.
Notwithstanding the recent wet
weather, fine progress on both the
Settlemyer and National Bank build
ings has been fine. One store in the
A. N. Wood block has been occupied
and the other two will be ready and
occupied by the first of September.
In the next few days work will be
begun by L. Baker on a single brick
store on his lot adjoining the W. Sam
Lipscomb block, on Limestone street.
Interest in tin and other minerals
in Cherokee is not abating, but is in
creasing, and The Ledger sticks to
its prediction of several years ago—
that Cherokee county in the near fu
ture will be one of the big mining sec
tions of this country. We have most
of the mineral sections of what were
. York and Union counties, in Cherokee,
and f he iron ore that dubbed Spartan-
| burg county “the old iroa district”
Is now in the soil of Cherokee terri
tory.
Killed by Lightning.
Fort Mill, Aug. 1C.—During a thun
der storm here yesterday afternoon
Miss Minnie Stevenson was struck
and instantly killed at the home of
her brother-in-law. Ed. Perry. The
family was seated at supper when the
bolt came down the chimney, passed
through the sitting room into the din
ning room, where it did its deadly
work, and on out a window, leaving
a blazed pathway along its route. The
unfortunate young lady was struck
on the shoulder and the current went
down her body and out through the
floor of the house, splitting one of the
large wooden sleepers in twain. Her)
shoes were torn to shreds and the sole |
of one of them bears three well-de
fined holes where the lightning made
its exit. The other three members of
the family around the table were
shocked into insensibility and one of
them also had her shoes torn off. j
They awoke just in time to extinguish
the flames which were burning their
dead sister.

A Season of Danger.
You’re wise if you have an Insurance Policy safe and sure. If you
have not, you run a good deal of risk. The excessive heat, storms
and cyclones, and the dangers of travel at this season, all make life a
little more uncertain and property unsafe.
I SUCCEED the late F. G. Stacy as agent for all the companies in
Fire, Life, Tornado and Accident Insurance represented by him, aud
shall be pleased to serve you in any line.

The rainy weather has ceased for
a few days and farmers are becoming
more hopeful of the cotton crop,
which was being materially injured
by so much rain. The corn crop of
the county is splendid, perhaps never
i better, and was not injured by the
rains, except in a few instances
where the streams overflewed the
low lands. With no further injury to
the crops, Cherokee will have no
room to complain this fall and her
farmers who have worked can revel
in the good things they have stored
in their barns.

A Continual Strain.
Many men and women are constant
ly subjected to what they commonly
term “a continual strain’’ because of
some financial or family trouble. It
wears and distresses them both men
tally and physically, affecting their
nerves badly and bringing on liver
and kidney ailments, with the atten
dant evils of constipation, loss of
appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality
and despondency. They cannot, as
a rule, get rid of this “continual
strain,” but they can remedy its health-
destroying effects by taking frequent
doses of Green’s August Flower. It
tones up the liver, stimulates the kid
neys, Insures healthy bodily functions,
gives vim and spirit to one’s whole
being, and eventually dispels the
physical or mental distress caused
by that “continual strain.” Trial bot
tle of August Flower, 25c; regular
size, 75c. For sale by Cherokee Drug
Co.. Gaffney; L. D. Allison. Cowpens.
