Box 304.] The most casual survey of the new spring goods is likely to leave one with a fixed conviction that greens and browns head the color list of the season, and already the possibilities of sartorial blunders lurking in these two colors are much in evidence. These two colors are w r ell represented in the check effects among the new to silk materials; in everything, from the cotton to ^ silk, the check is ubiquitous, in combination with other over designs. Probably we shall be tired of checked materials before the summer is over, but it is an unques tionable fact that a majority of the prettiest novelties in all materials save evening gown fabrics have some suggestion of the check. Braid in both the broad, flat silk variety, and in silk soutache, is being much used upon spring suits, and very fetching trimmings of broad, black braid, red silk folds, and white cloth, are upon some of the white and black, the mixed gray and dark blue frocks. ■ • • Miss Bessie Moorehead, of Gow- deysville, was in the city Wednesday.

Dear Sir:—l understand that the General Assembly, just adjourned, fixed the age for road duty in this, Cherokee county, at twenty-one years to fifty, and since the 14th of October, 1904, I have, under the old law, been | collecting from all males from eight een years to fifty, and I desire to only collect the proper amount from those who come in and desire to pay from now until 1st of March, J905, and I would like to have your opinion as te what ages should govern me in col lecting the balance of this year, un- | der recent act of 1905, or under old act? If I am to collect only from those who are now twenty-one years must I refund to those who paid from eight een years prior to the last act? Wire me early Monday morning your in structions, at my expense. Thanking you in advance for your promptness, I am. Yours very truly, W. H. Gooding, Treasurer Cherokee Co. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

Anyone who is skeptical about the success of the Cherokee Bottling Works (the baby industry of Gaffney) would have that skepticism removed i had he been at the Southern freight depot yesterday and seen the sixteen hundred bottles of Egg Nog, Brandy Soda and Superior Ale that was being shipped from Gaffney. These superior soft drinks retail at 10 cents, which is proof positive that they are supe rior to the 5 cents goods with which j the market is flooded. Mr. J. L. Alex ander, the proprietor, is pushing this industry. He has a traveling man on the road regularly and intends to de velop the field in this particular line. Poisoned. W. W. Baswell was cleaning a fish about three weeks ago and a fin of the fish pierced him in the thumb. This | caused inflammation and such soreness that he had to place it in a sling and is yet carrying his hand in the sling. He has been confined to his home and had several doctors with him. Dr. Al len split the thumb and Mr. Baswell is able to be out again after much suffering. Cotton Exchange Moved. The cotton exchange has been moved from the room over Doggett’s grocery to rooms in the National Bank build ing, and is in charge of W. C. Wilson. WHEN YOU THINK OF A BLOOD PURIFIER THINK OF SSS The Most Popular and wideiy-Hnown Mood Purlilcr GUARANTEED PURELY VEGETABLE mi % Z.x ! SWIFT’S SPECIFIC, the great BLOOD NffllFIBL This is the season that tests the quality of your blood, and if it is not good, then evidences of it will begin to show as the weather grows warmer. Carbuncles and boils, pimples and blotches, and numerous itching and burning skin eruptions will make their appearance, and are sure in dications of bad blood. If spring-time finds you with im pure, sickly blood, then you are in poor condition to with stand the strain upon the system which always comes at this time of the year. A failure to look after your physical wel fare now, by purifying the blood and toning up the gen eral system, may result in a complete breaking down of health later on, and you will find yourself weak and run down, with no appetite, and a prey to indigestion and ner vousness. It is poor blood that makes weak bodies, for it is this vital fluid that must supply vigor and strength to our systems, and upon its purity rests our chances for health. Any impurity, humor or poison in the blood acts inju riously upon the system and affects the general health. It is to the morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood that chronic sores and ulcers are due. The pustular and scaly skin eruptions so common during spring and summer, show the blood to be in a riotous, feverish condition, as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor or acrid poison in the blood. A large per cent, of human ailments have their origin in a polluted, diseased blood, and can only be reached by a remedy that goes into the circulation and uproots and expels the poison and restores the blood to a healthy, natural condition. If you have any symptoms of bad blood, and are thinking of a blood puri fier, then think of S. S. S., a remedy with a long- Springfield, Ohio, May 16, 1903. On two occasions I have -ised your 8. 8. 8. in the spring with fine results. I can heartily recommend it as a tonio and blood purifier. I was troubled with headaches, indigestion and liver trouble, whioh all disappeared under the use of a few bottles of your great blood remedy, 8. 8. 8. My appetite, which was poor, was greatly helped. I can eat anything I want now withont fear of Indigestion, and my blood has been thoroughly cleansed of impurities and made rich and strong again. Asa tonic and blood pur ifier it is all you claim for it. MRS. GEOROE WIEGEL. 771 E. Main St. Wheeling, W. Va., May 28, 1903. I have used yonr 8. 8. 8. this spring, and found It to be a blood purifier of the best order.

The thou sands who have ifsed S. S. S. and know from experience what it will do in blood troubles, do not need to be reminded of a blood purifier now, for they know no better can be found than S. S.

It has no bad effect upon the system^ and gradually eliminates catarrh by re moving the cause of catarrh.
