Amory, Xisa., Jan. 28, » ▲bout fifteen years asro I suffered with and took a course of S. S. S., which built and entirely cured me of the bolls. Three ayo I suffered with Malaria, and rememberii jfjyLAMA: AN INVISIBLE ENEMY] ' TO HEALTH Malaria is a slow poison, but the most stubborn and deeply rooted when it takes possession of the sys* tem. We breathe into the lungs the polluted, germ* tainted air; the little microbes then enter into the sys* tem, and feeding upon the red corpuscles of the blood, *oon reduce this vital, life sustaining fluid to such a ^reak, watery state that the patient becomes listless, pale and anaemic, and men tally and physically de pressed. Malaria may be gin with slight rigors or chilly sensations, followed h 3w much yood 878787w do“n« ‘mV.T dV ~ by fever and thirst; but nUnad to try itagain. i * m pUd to «ay that tl gradually all parts of the system are affected; the Malaria. Laat summer I apent moat of tha liver becomes torpid, and oa bottom haying timber cut. dark or yellow splotches E * • DALR ^ mph, appear upon the skin; . stomach fails to properly digest the foods and there are frequent headaches, dizziness, bad taste in the mouth* constipation and a general worn-out, tired feeling that only a suffer# from Malaria can describe. Other and more dangerous symptom# are apt to follow where this disease is neglected, such as nervous prote tration, palpitation, sleeplessness, enlarged liver, weak kidneys, boil| and risings and dangerous-looking sores and abscesses. Malaria ’is aQ the more dangerous because of its insidious and stealthy nature. It |# an invisible atmospheric poison, and the germs and microbes that aff lodged in the blood are propagating and increasing in number all th# While, clogging the circulation and gradually wrecking the health. What is needed in Malarial troubles i| a blood purifier and tonic. S. S. S. purifla§ the germ-infected blood, tones up the stoqw ach, improves the appetite and invigorataf the entire system. It stimulates the torpid* sluggish organs of the body, enabling them to properly perform their functions an4 carry off the poisonous secretions and health-destroying matter that haf|^ been polluting the blood and clogging the circulation. S. S. S. coqa tains no strong minerals, but is strictly a vegetable remedy, a blood purifier without an equal, and the greatest of all tonics. If you hav$ py symptoms of Malaria, write us, and medical advice will be fttfi led without cost. THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO. $ ATLANTA, Q&m SHORT LOCAL ITEMS.

Stop and look at Nelson’s show window. It’s “jam up.” The Settlemyer building has been wired for electric lights when finish ed. Sam Jefferies, Jr., is now assisting his brother, Clerk of Court J. Eb. Jef feries, in the clerk’s office. R. P. Roberts, treasurer of the Cher okee Palls Manufacturing Company, came to the city Wednesday on busi- i ness. As an evidence of the prosperity in Cherokee, the lumber dealers in the city are selling much building materi al to farmers. E. C. Byars, late clerk in the clerk f court’s office, has resigned and accep ted a similar position in the county treasurer’s office. People are talking about H. D. Mathis’ big pumpkin reported in T^ies- day’s Ledger. They want to see it and think “Dink” might show up. After w’eeks of dry dusty weather a light thunder cloud came out from the North about 1 o’clock yesterday and rained enofigh to lay the dust. Miss Eva Stacy has accepted a po sition in the office of the clerk of court. "Eb” is fortunate in securing the services of such a competent and charming assistant. Five hundred voters registered I Monday. Many of them said they wanted to register to be sure tp be able to give the dispensary one lick when the election comes off. The carpet mill is being dismantled. The purchaser of the machinery is having it taken out and packed for shipment. We do not know its des tination, but once we heard he would ship it to some point in Canada. We are glad to state that we learn that Robt. Hicks, who was so badly cut by John Linder last Saturday, is considered to he out of danger. These are worthy young white men who we i hope will avoid similiar trouble in !the future. Prominent Chester county farmers have called a meeting of the county farmers to he held at Chester on the l<»th inst. to consider the sale and price of their cotton crop. What can Cherokee farmers do for themselves j on the same line? Our young townsman, W. Kyle Davenport, who is making a tour of the old world, was last heard of in Rome. He reported himself well and having a fine time and does not say exactly when he will be at home. Good luck to you, Kyle. Our young friend Charley Pettit, a young son of Mr. Basil Pettit, of Ra venna, picked 210 pounds of cotton by 12 o’clock last Monday and was pull ing Monday afternoon for 190 pounds more. We think he got it, for a Pettit don’t quit till he finishes. Our friend Mr. C. G. Parish, “Hap py Cal,” the Piedmont prince of hotel keepers, who has so long run the Par ish house in the city, has also taken charge of the Commercial, and is now dispensing his splendid hospi tality to guests in both these big hotels. Since cotton fell below ten cents receipts have fallen off considerably in Gaffney. We notice the same has occurred in the Southwestern States which, headquarters cotton men say, indicates that producers intend to take a hand in the sale of cotton this season. While cotton is too low Gaff ney was ahead Wednesday when she paid 9:82 1 / 4. We learn from the Greenville News that on that day Greenville paid 9:58; Easley, 9:58- Spartanburg, 9:65; Greers, 9:13-16; Seneca, 9: 1 / 4; Westiminister. 9:70. Mr. Louis Caryl Graton, United States geloglcal survey, is in Gaffney and called on The Ledger Wednesday. Mr. Graton expects Mr. W. Lendgien, of the United States gelogical survey, to be here some time this month. Mr. Graton will remain in this section several weeks. He is an interrogator of the first order, finds out all he can, and we predict that his investigation in Cherokee will be greatly to her benefit. The Ledger hopes to see more of him. and will be glad to afford him any assistance in its power. [Address communications for this col umn to P. O. Box 304.] There is a clever scheme for mak-1 ing a child’s dress look fresh, and ' changing a school dress into a pretty little afternoon gown. Make separate | berthas, one of the same material as the gown, one of white linen or pique, and one of sheer lawn trimmed with j lace or insertion; finish the top edge i of the bertha with a band which will j button on the waist around the edge! of the yoke; the buttons may be al lowed to show, or hidden, just as your fancy dictates. Five buttons would be quite sufficient, one in the center hack, one in the center of each should er, and one at each side front. • • * Miss Gussie Ehoff, who has been with Mrs. J. C.

Letter to Limestone Mills. Gaffney, S. C. Dear Sir: Two years ago the estate of the late Congressman Scott, of Erie, Pa, painted 24 Rolling-Mill houses one coat Devoe at a saving of 11 per cent for paint (lead-and-oi! was after the job). That’s how the tale reads. We In fer what really happened. The buyer, as usual, went by the cost of paint; got bids. Lead-and-oil hid low and guessed the quantity low; the saving was only 11 per cent. Nobody seems to have thought of this: the painting costs two or three times as much as the paint. How much did we save on the painting Don’t know. The tale ends with this: We often refer Inquirers to those houses, for wear of Devoe. That’s a good-enough story; hut no body knows what it is. Our only diffl culty is want of paint-intelligence. Yours truly F W Devoe & Co 70 For sale by L. Baker.
