SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. !rs. Weisslitz, Buffalo, N. Y.,_ cured of kidney trouble by LydiaE Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, un less prompt and correct treatment is ap plied, the weary patientseldom survi ves. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink- ham, early in her career, gave careful study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman’s ills — Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound — made sure that it con tained the correct combination of herbs which was certain to control that dreaded disease, woman’s kidney troubles. Read What Mrs. Weisslitz Says. “Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — For two years my life was simply a burden, I suffered so with female troubles, and pains across my back and loins. The doctor told me that I had Ir’dney troubles and prescribed for me. For three months I took his medicine, but grew steadily worse. My husband then advised me to try Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound, and brought home a bottle. It is the great est blessing ever brought to our home. M ithin three months I was a changed woman. My pain had disappeared,my complexion became clear, my eyes bright, and my entire system in good shape.” — Mrs. Paula Weisslitz, 176 Seneca St., Buffalo.

We have heard of no picking in the county yet. Farmers generally think the crop has been materially injured by the rain and don’t look for a larger yield than last year. Kirby and Hardin to Run. The county executive committee ordered a second race between Mes srs. Kirby and Sarratt for the legis lature.

VILLAGE PARSON Thrilling Cilmax. Powerful in Action. Intense Heart Interest. All Special Scenery. A Story as Sweet as The Fragrance of Roses. The city graded schools opened j Tuesday. At school No. 1. 360 pupils were enrolled: at No. 2, a few over 100, and at Limestone Mill school there w’ere thirty-five. At the school! for colored children the attendance, as j usual, was large, but we haven't, learned the number. At the time of closing our forms the negro Ferguson, who was ar rested Wednesday for stealing a cow. was still in jail and the cow r was at Chief Lockhart’s, an no one had claimed her, which indicates that Ferguson must have gotten her fur- ther from town than was thought. The farmers of Greenville county met last Monday and organized for mutual protection in handling their cotton crops of this year, and resolv ed to sell no cotton for less than ten cents per pound. Similar action by Cherokee farmers might he benefi cial to them and would strengthen the Greenville movement. We wish the whole south would follow the ex ample of the Greenville farmers. Dr. Tracy, Temperance Lecturer. Beginning next Thursday Dr. N. W. Tracy, under auspices the National Temperance Educational Bureau, will deliver a series of twelve lectures in this city.

No admission fee will be charged. 750 seats will be absolutely free, while r,oo reserved seats, opera house chairs, will be 5c each. This is for the purpose of defraying the running expenses. If any of our citizens feel disposed, they will be given the op portunity to contribute to offierings, which will be the nights. Dr. Tracy comes most highly rec ommended. and we anticipate H. C. Knox. To the Public: Having been appointed manager of the Star Theatre by the board of di rectors. I take this occasion to inlliet upon the public some of my pro nounced views in regard to theatrical amusements. I believe that pure, clean and wholesome theatricals are elevating, refining and instructive. I believe that the theatrical busi ness should be conducted as any other legitimate business—on the | principal of giving the very best for the money. I With these ideas uppermost 1 I undertake the management of our pretty little play house. I shall en deavor to give you the best shows it ! is possible to get to a town of this size. 1 shall endeavor to protect you ; against inferior attractions of any | kind. In this connection I desire to say | that the first two shows to visit Gaffney this season will be “A Boy Wanted,” a musical comedy, on next j Tuesday night, and “The Village Par- i son,” a rural melodrama, Wednesday ; night. Both these shows are playing night, ■» such cities as Washington, Rich- inond, Charlotte, Columbia, Charles ton, Augusta, Atlanta, etc. Ed. H. DeCamp. ur. Mr. McArthur declined to run, thus leaving the race between Mes srs. Kirby and Hardin. County Chairman Bell received a telephone message from Mr. Hardin late yester day afternoon saying he would enter the race. The second primary takes place next Tuesday. 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 Eire, Fife, Tornado and Accident Insurance represented by him, and shall be pleased to serve you in any line. Death of Darwin Bettis.

The Raleigh News and Observer of last Tuesday has the following to say of “A Boy Wanted,” which will be seen here Tuesday night: i “A large audience gave much ap plause and many times at the Metro politan Theatre last night to the mus ical comedy, “A Boy Wanted.” “The performance is not in the I class of a polished production, but it has in it some numbers of very catchy music, that go with a swing and a dash.
